THE CORE OF THE SELF

 

1.   The utmost religious joy, however, can only come via transcendental meditation, since it is that which utilizes the 'air-within' of the breath to achieve both a transmutation of the egocentric self and a rejection of its spiritualization thereof, in the interests of emotional redemption, the superconscious duly superseded by the subconscious as self reacts against the threat of excessive selflessness to achieve for itself the enhancement of self which is commensurate with the soul, the kernel of its being.

 

2.   Thus only the 'kingdom within' of metaphysical sensibility can deliver to the self its profoundest joy, a joy which goes beyond, or transcends, anything recourse to metaphysical sensuality via the airwaves can deliver to the self, albeit even the metaphysical 'kingdom without', which is rather more theocratic than meritocratic, can deliver joy to the self, thereby confirming the presence of metaphysical soul.

 

3.   For here, too, one is dealing with being in relation to essence, soul in relation to breath, self in relation to air, albeit it be the 'outer air' of the airwaves, with a joy that is correspondingly less deep, less lasting, and arguably less fulfilling, since more sensual than sensible, and being further compromised by the anterior sensuality of love in relation to the metachemical soul of autocracy.

 

4.   For autocracy precedes theocracy, as the stellar cosmos precedes the solar cosmos, or as Jehovah precedes Satan, or as eyes precede ears, or as  Saul precedes David ... in the sensual alternatives, both primal and supreme, negative and positive, to the noumenal 'kingdoms without', the one objectively rooted in spatial space and the other subjectively centred in sequential time, a metaphysical 'fall guy', in its submasculine subjectivity, for superfeminine denigration from the objectivistic 'on high' of metachemical precedence.

 

5.   And even the Christian Church came to reflect, in the course of time, this dichotomous hierarchy in which the 'First Mover' tended to pull (sensual) rank on the 'Fallen Angel', as stellar Jehovah upon solar Satan or optical Saul upon aural David, and autocracy accordingly got the better of theocracy, came off better, one might say, in the struggle between Church and State, submasculinity and superfemininity, for control over men's lives.

 

6.   Such it has always been in the West, with alternations between New Testament and Old Testament, the Father vis-à-vis Christ and Jehovah vis-à-vis Satan, with theocracy disposed or obliged to shuffle between the Father and Satan as the submasculine was transposed from an ascendant position, in the New Testament Father, beyond Christ and over the demonized Pan of a subverted, and hence Satanic, earth ... to a dependent and deferential position, in the Old Testament, beneath Jehovah, where, correspondingly Satanic, it was duly abandoned in favour of the autocracy of Jehovah and the concept of God not as 'Father of the Son' but as 'First Mover' and effective 'Creator of the Universe' (cosmos).

 

7.   Thus the Church itself shifted ground to suit the occasion, moving from a quite admirable 'once-born' position in the Father to a less than admirably 'once-born' position in Jehovah where, despite male terminology, superfemininity was effectively 'top dog' over submasculinity, in due autocratic fashion.

 

8.   But if religion was always on somewhat shaky ground in the Christian West, even when Satan had been taken down a plane or two from a 'fallen angel' status to a subterranean one to suit a theocratic concept of God in the Father ... and one wonders, in consequence, what basis for denigration of the latter there could possibly have been for a God and a Devil who share the same gender, if with noumenal and phenomenal distinctions relative to separate 'kingdoms without', it could hardly be said of science that it, too, was always on shaky ground there, bearing in mind the authenticity of autocracy in a world where metachemical evil always had the Bible-sanctioned advantage over metaphysical wisdom, particularly in view of the latter's almost chimerical disposition to abandon wisdom for evil, New Testament for Old Testament, as and when circumstances deemed fit.

 

9.   An intelligent cynic would certainly have solid grounds for doubting the 'rock' upon which the Church was thematically built, and for dismissing religion, in consequence, as a lost cause in the unequal struggle with evil ... were he disposed to limit his concept of religion to the West and, more specifically, to the Christian faith, of which the Catholic Church has long regarded itself as being the principal, if not the sole, exemplar.

 

10.  But if Western religion has never done proper justice to the doubting cynic, then neither can it be said that the Christian Church has done anything like proper justice to religion, since it has remained, throughout its long history, rooted and/or centred, depending on the context, in the concept of God as 'Creator', be that God autocratic and Old Testament or theocratic and New Testament, and one cannot imagine things ever being substantially different so long as the Bible continues to function as the 'rock' upon which the thematic foundations of the Church was built, albeit a 'rock' which presents one face now and a completely different one the next moment, as already discussed.

 

11.  No, it seems to me that justice will only be done to religion when, through effectively Superchristian teachings such as these, people opt - democratically and peacefully - to move beyond the Church and thereby dispense with the Bible, so that instead of being held back from metaphysical sensibility by metachemical and/or metaphysical sensuality, they elect to be saved from it to the possibility, for those who are 'up to it', of meditative praxis, thereby acquiring complete independence, through Social Transcendentalism, from Creator-based scientific and/or religious primitivity ... for the sake of the optimum development of their selves, with especial reference to the soul and, in relation to transcendental meditation, the soul-of-souls most especially.

 

12.  For the soul, remember, lies at the core or 'heart' of the self, and one cannot even begin to cultivate the soul-of-souls, the metaphysically sensible soul of joyful being, unless one is free of, or has been delivered from, religious constraints of the sort that stem from Biblical adherence to concepts of God rooted and/or centred in the Cosmos, the religious primitivity of which precludes the possibility of metaphysical independence.

 

13.  Difficult as metaphysical sensibility would be when the concept of God was centred in metaphysical sensuality (the Father), it is next-to-impossible when such a concept is rooted in metachemical sensuality (Jehovah), and the objectivity thereof bedevils any attempt to come to terms with self-advancement (from ego to soul) by ensuring that the focus of religion is always outside the self ... in either supreme or, more usually in relation to the Cosmos, primal manifestations of not-self and selflessness, will and spirit.

 

14.  Hence the entire tradition of other-based religion must be rejected in toto, not just on the half-measure basis of Christianity, but with intent to 'turning the tables' on religious objectivity once and for all, so that the self is completely released from the clutches of not-self primacy and/or supremacy and is able, in consequence, to develop an unequivocally soul-oriented redemption through the lead of metaphysical sensibility.

 

15.  Only Social Transcendentalism, the ideological religion which I have created and identified with a Superchristian disposition appropriate to 'Kingdom Come', can provide the People with the opportunity to win deliverance from Christian constraints or limitations and, more importantly, put the Heathen and Superheathen freedoms of secular modernity objectively behind them.

 

16.  But if there is to be such a deliverance, then the People - and the Gaelic electorates above all - will have to seize the opportunity, at some future time, of voting for it, since only be utilizing the democratic process to vote for religious sovereignty can there be any prospect of achieving the right to self-realization in 'Kingdom Come', which I have provisionally tended to identify, all along, with a federation of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, together with the Isle of Man and/or various offshore islands, in what has been called the Gaelic Federation but could also, and with equal justification, be called a Federation of Social Transcendentalist Centres.

 

17.  Thus I am, to all intents and purposes, the Gaelic Second Coming, and it is my hope and belief that such a Superchristian destiny - not incompatible, so far as I am concerned, with the notion of a Superjudaic one - does more justice to the concept of a 'Second Coming' than any previous manifestation of Messianic deliverance has ever done, be it Russian, German, Spanish, or whatever.

 

18.  For religious sovereignty, the issue of my enhanced Messianic credibility, provides the possibility of deliverance not only from religious falsehoods of the sort in which the Christian Church has always been rooted, but, more contemporaneously and perhaps significantly, the possibility of deliverance from 'sins and/or punishments of the world', including the political (democratic) and economic (capitalist) shortfalls from an otherworldly 'Kingdom' whose religion would be truly heavenly.

 

19.  For the world is something that should be overcome, democratically and peaceably, if man is to stand any chance not only of overcoming woman - that heathenistic obstacle to enhanced subjectivity - but of overcoming himself through godliness, and rejecting the Devil in consequence.

 

20.  Else woman will continue to reign, through the Devil, over man, and the prospects of a 'brotherhood of men', much less supermen, can only remain extremely remote.

 

21.  I teach the overcoming of the world through Social Transcendentalism, and I maintain that only in the otherworldly context of 'Kingdom Come', symbolic of the Centre, will there be any reasonable prospect, through religious sovereignty, of both a 'brotherhood of men' in knowledge and pleasure and, more significantly, a 'brotherhood of supermen' in truth and joy, these latter manifestations of selfhood alone commensurate, primarily and universally, with God and Heaven in their metaphysical elevation above the earth.

 

22.  Thus the development of the self from ego to soul via mind is commensurate with the redemption of the self in the sacred transcendence of profanity, whether that profanity be knowledgeable and masculine in vegetativeness or truthful and divine (supermasculine) in airiness, the latter alone capable, with its noumenal subjectivity, of redemption in the sublimeness of that sensible being which, thanks to mystical essence, lies joyfully at the core of the metaphysical self, like some heavenly treasure waiting to be uncovered and, hence, revealed in all its inner splendour.
