COMPARISONS
AND CONTRASTS IN CLASS AND GENDER
1. Just as evil and wisdom constitute two
aspects of noumenal actuality, the one metachemical and the other metaphysical, so there will be
some wisdom in the individual who is most evil or, at any rate, has metachemical associations with evil and, conversely, some
evil in the individual who has metaphysical associations.
2. Just as goodness and foolishness constitute
two aspects of phenomenal actuality, the one chemical and the other physical,
so there will be some foolishness in the individual who is most good or, at any
rate, has chemical associations with goodness and, conversely, some goodness in
the individual who has physical associations.
3. Thus whilst evil and wisdom are demonstrably
upper-class attributes, with more evil than wisdom in the metachemical
context and, conversely, more wisdom than evil in the metaphysical one, so
goodness and foolishness are lower-class attributes, with more goodness than
foolishness in the chemical context and, conversely, more foolishness than
goodness in the physical one.
4. The so-called 'wise man', an upper-class man
of a markedly metaphysical disposition, will always have to contend with an
evil 'shadow side' to his particular noumenal bias,
while, conversely, the so-called 'evil man', an upper-class man or, more
correctly, woman ... of markedly metachemical
disposition, will always have the benefit of a wise 'shadow side' to his/her
particular noumenal bias.
5. Likewise, the so-called 'good man', a
lower-class man or, more correctly, woman ... of markedly chemical disposition,
will always have to contend with a foolish 'shadow side' to his/her particular
phenomenal bias, while, conversely, the so-called 'foolish man', a lower-class
man of markedly physical disposition, will always have the benefit of a good
'shadow side' to his particular phenomenal bias.
6. It is my belief that, class and genetics
being correlative, people do not usually change planes to any appreciable
extent, but remain recognizably either evil and good (if objective) or foolish
and wise (if subjective), so that a distinction continues to exist between 'the
evil' who are sometimes wise and 'the good' who are sometimes foolish on the
one hand, and between 'the wise' who are sometimes evil and 'the foolish' who
are sometimes good on the other hand.
7. Were this not so, there would be a continuous
alternation between evil and goodness on the one hand, and between foolishness
and wisdom on the other hand, but, generally speaking, goodness predominates
over evil and foolishness preponderates over wisdom in phenomenal, or
lower-class, societies (democratic/Christian), whereas evil predominates over
goodness and wisdom preponderates over foolishness in noumenal,
or upper-class, societies (autocratic/Buddhist).
8. In objective,
female-biased societies, evil and goodness are the principal noumenal/phenomenal alternatives at stake, whereas in
subjective, male-biased societies, by contrast, the principal phenomenal/noumenal alternatives will be foolishness and wisdom.
9. A metachemical
society, rooted in noumenal objectivity, will
emphasize evil - and hence crime, cruelty, and opacity - at the expense of
goodness, whereas a chemical society, rooted in phenomenal objectivity, will
put the emphasis on goodness - and hence punishment, adroitness, and lucidity
and/or transparency - at the expense of evil.
10. A physical society, centred in phenomenal
subjectivity, will emphasize foolishness - and hence sin, stupidity, and
gravity - at the expense of wisdom, whereas a metaphysical society, centred in noumenal subjectivity, will put the emphasis on wisdom -
and hence grace, kindness, and tranquillity - at the expense of foolishness.
11. Metachemical
societies are at a moral or, rather, immoral disadvantage to chemical
societies, since evil is an immorally inferior alternative to goodness, whereas
physical societies are at a moral disadvantage to metaphysical societies, since
foolishness is a morally inferior alternative to wisdom.
12. There can be no moral comparison, however, between
metachemical and metaphysical societies on the one
hand and chemical and physical societies on the other hand, since morality is
always subjective, whereas immorality is ever objective, obliging one to
contrast the evil of the metachemical with the wisdom
of the metaphysical or, in phenomenal contexts 'down below', the goodness of
the chemical with the foolishness of the physical.
13. Which is simply to contrast the one gender
with the other on both noumenal (upper class) planes
and phenomenal (lower class) planes, allowing for the fact that, even though
moral in its phenomenal subjectivity, the physical society will be vulnerable
to sanction, if not prohibitive discrimination, from the chemical society,
since whereas goodness is a superior immoral alternative to evil, foolishness
is an inferior moral alternative to wisdom, and that which is superior in the
one gender context will tend to feel superior - albeit without philosophical
justification - to that which is inferior in the other gender context, even
though no comparison - barring their common adherence to phenomenal planes -
between the two types of lower-class society is logically sustainable.
14. For you can only compare that which is alike
in respect of sharing a common gender orientation, irrespective of its class,
and contrast either of those to that which, existing on the opposite side of
the gender fence, adheres to the opposite disposition, be it moral and
subjective or, in the female case, immoral and objective.
15. Thus although comparisons can be made between
objective and subjective, immoral and moral, with regard to class ... where
both share a common plane, no such comparisons can be made with regard to
gender, since that which is female, and hence objective, can only remain distinct
from whatever is male, and hence subjective.
16. Goodness may be better, or objectively
(immorally) more desirable from a feminine point of view, than evil, but
goodness is only different from foolishness, as evil from wisdom.
17. Similarly, wisdom may be better, or
subjectively (morally) more desirable from a divine standpoint, than folly, but
wisdom is only different from evil, as foolishness from goodness.
18. Thus while woman may be better than the Devil
on the one hand, and God be better than man on the other hand, woman is only
different from man, and God different from the Devil.
19. But just as every noumenal
actuality has a 'shadow' noumenon and, likewise,
every phenomenal actuality a 'shadow' phenomenon, as already defined, so the
godly man, the metaphysically upper-class and most respectable man, is capable
of evil, just as the feminine woman, the chemically lower-class and most
respectable woman, is capable of folly.
20. It is doubtless because the metaphysically
upper-class man, though overwhelmingly disposed to wisdom, is capable of evil
... that one should fear (the wrath of) as well as have faith in (the wisdom
of) God.
21. Conversely, it is doubtless because the metachemically upper-class man or, more correctly, woman,
though overwhelmingly disposed to evil, is capable of wisdom ... that one
should have hope (for clemency from) as well as fear (the evil of) the Devil.
22. Be that as it may, I have no doubt that God
and Heaven for the metaphysically upper-class man are principally inside the
self, and that he achieves godliness and heavenliness for himself or, rather,
the self ... whenever he practises metaphysics, whether sensually, in aural
terms, or sensibly, in respiratory terms, so that he is God and Heaven
at such times when specifically committed to metaphysical praxis.
23. But godliness for the metaphysically
upper-class man, the 'wise man', is something continually to be redeemed in the
heavenliness of essential being; for godliness is profane in its egocentric qualitativeness (truth) whereas heavenliness is sacred in
its psychocentric essence (joy), and thus the raison d'être of
metaphysical praxis.
24. The metaphysically upper-class man practises
at God for the sake of Heaven, upholds truth in the interests of joy (bliss),
is metaphysically egocentric for the sake of his psychocentric
self, constantly cycle-shifting, within metaphysics, from taking to being via
doing and giving, as from quasi-essential form (truthfully qualitative) to
essential content(ment) via quasi-essential power
(impressively apparent) and quasi-essential glory (holily quantitative), the
ego to the soul of primary God and Heaven via the will and the spirit of
secondary God and Heaven, the God and Heaven of the metaphysical not-self and
selflessness, both of which subjectively serve the metaphysical self.
25. Not only is there no God and Heaven elsewhere
for the metaphysically upper-class man, be he submasculine
in sensuality or supermasculine in sensibility, than
in his metaphysical self and, to a secondary extent, in both his metaphysical
not-self and selflessness, be it sensual or sensible, but claims by others to
the contrary meet with no approval or endorsement on his part whatsoever.
26. For there have been fraudulent gods and
heavens elsewhere than in the metaphysical realms (of sensuality and
sensibility in relation to sequential time and spaced space) ever since the
dawn of religion, or what passes in some quarters for such, and they are
sometimes not even a masculine or a feminine shortfall - nonetheless duly hyped
- from divinity and sublimity so much as their
diabolic and infernal antitheses!
27. Worse than the man and earth or than the woman
and purgatory duly hyped as God and Heaven ... is the Devil and Hell; for here
one enters the sensual and sensible realms of metachemistry,
with its Cupidian axis bisecting space (spatially)
and time (repetitively), and wherever such an axis passes for God and Heaven
... there can be no genuine godliness and heavenliness, but only the Devil and
Hell posing as God and Heaven.
28. Has not the history of Creator-based
religions, whether Middle-Eastern or Western, borne ample testimony to the fact
that what is actually, to all metachemical appearances
of Cupidian devolution, the Devil and Hell ... has
been worshipped as God and Heaven?
29. Now, strictly speaking, one can only worship
that which is primarily outside the self, not primarily within the self, and
wherever the worship of 'God and Heaven' has taken a Creator-based metachemical turn, going all the way back to the Cosmos, it
is because the Devil and Hell, to revert to their literal status, are primary
in the metachemical not-self and selflessness but
secondary in the metachemical self, given the
objectivity which prevails in metachemistry in due
female terms - terms duly extending down to the chemical realm of woman and
purgatory.
30. Wherever subjectivity prevails, on the other
hand, then profanity and sanctity are primarily within the self and only
secondarily without the not-self, as in the physical not-self and selflessness,
but if the primary realization of man and earth within the physical self is one
thing, then the primary realization of God and Heaven within the metaphysical
self is quite another, and while the former would be Christian, the latter is
most decidedly Subchristian in sensuality and Superchristian in sensibility, the Superchristian
being the salvation of the Subchristian and
methodology by means of which the ultimate profanity may be redeemed in the
ultimate sanctity, the sanctity of the metaphysical 'kingdom within'.
