LEADER: The leader should, by definition, be
metaphysical, and the self-styled architect of Social Transcendentalism most
certainly considers himself to be metaphysical, not physical (and prone to
representation), nor chemical (and prone to governance), still less metachemical (and prone to rule). Leadership should be first and foremost a
religious attribute, the attribute of religious persons, particularly when
those persons happen to be genuinely religious, and thus metaphysical.
LEFT: Politically or ideologically speaking,
the Left is on the female side of the gender divide, and is therefore
affiliated to libertarianism, whether in moderate or in extreme terms, that is
to say, whether with regard to the phenomenal objectivity of water or to the noumenal objectivity of fire, in sensibility no less than
in sensuality. When politics is 'true'
to itself (and not 'bovaryized') it will be left
wing, or parliamentary. Likewise, when
science is 'true' to itself (and not 'bovaryized') it
will be extreme left-wing, or cosmological.
For whereas the per se
of politics, being watery, is phenomenal, the per se of science, being
fiery, is noumenal.
Thus do libertarians and ultra-libertarians exemplify political and
scientific per se standings respectively, in keeping with their
objective, or female, natures.
LIBERTARIAN: The antithesis to conservative,
libertarianism can be either extreme (and noumenal)
or moderate (and phenomenal), but either way it is a female attribute which
follows from an objective premise, whether in relation to sensuality or to
sensibility or, indeed, to negative or positive manifestations of each. Thus libertarians are prone to objective
divergence and/or convergence on either noumenal or
phenomenal planes, with a penchant, in consequence, for freedom, the freedom of
the female side of life to be 'true' to itself without regard to or threat of
male constraints such that follow, by contrast, from a subjective
disposition. Libertarians are
politically of the Left, and are usually of a secular rather than a religious
orientation. Those disposed, in upper-class
fashion, to noumenal objectivity will be
ultra-libertarian, and hence extreme left, or communistic; while those more
disposed, in lower-class fashion, to phenomenal objectivity will be
libertarian, and hence moderate left, or socialistic. Either way, one is dealing with a female
stance in life, a stance that is diabolic in the one context and feminine in
the other. In elemental terms, both fire
and water are libertarian after their different fashions, the one noumenally and the other phenomenally, as germane to metachemistry and to chemistry.
'LIBERTY BELLE': Secular symbol of negative
freedom within the sensual context of noumenal
objectivity, the '
LIGHT: Spiritual manifestation of photon
elements which, in conventional contexts, diverge through spatial space as from
a vacuum, whether naturally (cosmic) or artificially (electronic). Light is a primary mode of Hell whose glory
is infernal, given its metachemical correlation. This applies as much in positive terms to
sight-light, which is spiritual love, as in negative terms to cosmic light,
which is spiritual hatred, not to mention to their artificial counterparts, the
light of cameras on the one hand and of light-bulbs on the other hand. Either way, light is good rather than evil,
since of the spirit as opposed to the will.
But goodness can be negative or positive.
LIGHTNESS: Quantitative attribute of air, as of
airwaves (sensuality) and the breath (sensibility), lightness is germane to
metaphysical spirit.
LIMBO: Context of compromise between Heaven and
Hell, which is to say, noumenal objectivity and noumenal subjectivity.
The noumenal counterpart, in
short, to the world.
LITERATURE: Common term for all literary
activity ... from poetry and drama to fiction and philosophy, although modern
usage tends to favour fiction, especially novels and short prose. However, it is my belief that literature is
that branch of the fine arts which has a chemical, and therefore feminine, correlation,
in keeping with its watery bias, e.g. the tongue for speaking with and ink for
writing with. In fact, I incline to
regard drama as the per se mode of
literature, in view of its reliance on the tongue for purposes of speech, and
to conceive of the other modes of literary activity, viz. poetry, fiction, and
philosophy, as 'bovaryizations' of literature germane
to a fundamentally watery approach to each of the other elements, viz. fire in
the case of poetry, vegetation in the case of fiction, and air in the case of
philosophy. Thus literature, in the
broadest sense, is the civilized art form par excellence, as distinct,
in its own way, from the barbarism, comparatively speaking, of art (principally
painting) as the naturalism of sculpture from the culture of music. Currently, however, it is the
quasi-vegetative 'bovaryization' of literature, viz.
fiction, which most typifies literary production, particularly in its
novelistic mode. This is, together with
drama, a worldly manifestation of literature, and the world, with its
feminine/masculine compromises, still exists, not having been 'overcome' by
otherworldly alternatives of the type that would make philosophy the principal
literary genre.
LITERARY SUBDIVISIONS: Literature conceived as
being subdivisible into drama, the chemical per se of literature; poetry, the quasi-metachemical 'bovaryization' of
literature; philosophy, the quasi-metaphysical 'bovaryization'
of literature; and fiction, the quasi-physical 'bovaryization'
of what, in relation to literature proper, viz. drama, is a chemical art form par
excellence.
LOWER CLASS: Only the phenomenal objectivity of
chemistry and the phenomenal subjectivity of physics qualify for lower-class
standings, the one in relation to the governing class of volume-mass
devolution, viz. democrats (parliamentarians) and bureaucrats (local
government), the other in relation to the representing class of mass-volume
evolution, viz. technocrats and plutocrats.
Thus the lower class are always phenomenal, never noumenal.
LOVE: Having reference to the positive
quantitative and essential manifestations of photons and/or photinos,
love has a noumenally objective correlation, as
applying to the fiery realm of metachemistry, and is
the hellish redemption of the diabolic, whether in relation to the primary
context of metachemical spirit (molecular particles)
or to the secondary context of metachemical soul
(elemental wavicles), in sensuality no less than in
sensibility.
LSD: Synthetic hallucinogen with ability to
modify consciousness in the direction of visionary hallucinations and spatial
displacements. One of a number of drugs
that have been seriously considered for spiritual use in 'Kingdom Come', with
particular reference to the second tier of my projected 'triadic Beyond', duly subsectioned to embrace, besides physics and metaphysics, a
chemical context in which some vegetative transmutation of chemistry would be
applicable, thereby allowing the feminine aspect of a broadly humanist tier to
receive due chemical attention.
LUNAR: Phenomenally objective disposition of
the moon which is the negative, or geologic, manifestation of volume, with
specific reference to volumetric volume.
A guarantor and standard of negative freedom within
phenomenally objective parameters, such as those accruing, in secular terms, to
parliament.
