26.
Fortunately that need not be the case! For once God the Father has been
properly attained to with cyborgization in the final
stage of civilization, even the progressive reaction of totalitarian centrism
to liberal centrism will not hasten the death of God but simply ensure that the
birth of God the Father, coupled be it not forgotten to the Antidaughter
of the Antidevil, will attain to its most perfect
summation, to last for ever as the omega point of
Eternity.
27.
If, then, civilization develops through five stages, each stage divisible into
two phases, as described above, then it follows that a stage of birth
alternating with a stage of death allows us to infer three of the former and
two of the latter, pagan birth leading to Christian death, which in turn leads
to the birth of humanism as the necessary precondition of the death of humanism
and subsequent birth, via the Second Coming, of transcendentalism, with
particular reference to the birth of God the Father.
28.
Therefore while, in broad chronological terms, the death of Devil the Mother
ensues upon the birth of Devil the Mother, and the death of man upon the birth
of man, there can be no death of God ensuing upon the birth of God for the
simple reason that such a notion in relation to what properly appertains to God
... the Father ... would be a contradiction in terms and of no use to the
historical process, which works towards Eternal Life in terms of the birth of
God the Father, Who is or will be the outcome of the process in question, a
truly global process which transcends both West and East alike.
29.
Obviously the contemporary age, characterized, through the lead of America, by
the liberal death of man, is the secular, or humanistic, parallel to the
Christian ages in which humanity, not yet having come into its own, worshipped
the death of Devil the Mother through the Son of Devil the Mother whose
crucifixion, or self-sacrifice (more correctly, not-self sacrifice of free
soma) put paid to pagan sacrifice to Devil the Mother (duly hyped as God), as
already described. More specifically, the liberal version of the death of
man could be said to parallel the liberal version of the death of Devil the
Mother, which is broadly identifiable with Protestantism, and therefore the
contemporary American form of secular liberalism, which takes a predominantly
economic guise, could be regarded as having an historical parallel in Christian
liberalism, just as its fascist precursor, identifiable with the totalitarian
version of the death of man (and worship of the machine) would have been the
modern equivalent of Christian totalitarianism, viz. Roman Catholicism, which
came to an ideological head in the Middle Ages and was gradually eclipsed, though
not eradicated, by Protestantism, its liberal successor.
30.
Therefore if one can imagine American economic liberalism superimposed upon
Protestant Christian liberalism, it is no less tempting, and indeed feasible,
to conceive of fascist economic totalitarianism superimposed upon, or requiring
for backdrop, Catholic Christian totalitarianism, since the death of man in
either of its civilized phases can only parallel the historical death of (pagan
worship of) Devil the Mother, which is fundamentally the essence of
Christianity, a religion which, strictly speaking, not only falls short of God,
no matter how much either Devil the Mother or the Son of Devil the Mother may
be theocratically hyped, but, in the strictly
humanist sense, of man as well, whose own stages of civilization were to
transform the world in such fashion that, for those most characterizable
as humanists, whether positively or negatively, what had passed for God would
no longer dominate life or dictate the course of human events but remain in the
background as testimony to an earlier stage of civilization which man-proper
had simply outgrown, even if, short of Messianic instruction or intervention
along the lines of the envisaged Second Coming, he hadn't de-mystified the hype
of Devil the Mother as God or of Her Son as the Son of God but continued, in
varying fashion, to pay lip service to it, as though man were the end or goal
of history as ordained by God!
31.
In point of fact, nothing, however, could be more untrue, or, at any rate, more
removed from the truth of God the Father, which owes nothing to Devil the
Mother, whether or not hyped as God, but stands beyond man as that which
exposes the lie of both Devil the Mother hyped as God and the half-lie of the
Son of Devil the Mother hyped as the Son of God, so that, left in little doubt
as to what mankind actually overhauled, there can be no excuse for people to
regard man as the end of the historical process but, rather, to see in both the
birth and, subsequently, death of man the humanistic precondition of the birth
of God in due course, a birth that will not come without a struggle against the
world of those who see man as the outcome of God rather than God as the outcome
of man, because they dare not or cannot de-mystify Christianity and see it in
its true light, a light falling well short of anything genuinely religious and
God-centred because more concerned with negating, if unconsciously, the pagan
rule of Devil the Mother.
32.
Thus Christianity, seen in this less than properly religious light, is more a
quasi-religious rejection of cosmic science than an affirmation of religion per se,
a precondition, in its way, of the political and economic concerns of humanism,
and thus of the World, which today has attained to its liberal maturity in
respect of the death of man, just as formerly the liberal birth of man paved
the way for such a worldly downturn without in the least realizing it, and
simply by synthetically backing off the liberal death of Devil the Mother which
made the World humanistically possible.
33.
But even if the residue of the liberal birth of man is still politically extant
in certain countries, not least Great Britain, in many ways the harbinger of
and catalyst for humanistic change, it is somewhat in the shadow of the liberal
death of man which rules an American roost and is at the cutting-edge of the
world-historical process, having overhauled and effectively defeated both
fascist and communist totalitarianism, the former of course closer to itself in
respect of economic corporatism, the latter effectively closer to British and,
indeed, French political liberalism, being in many respects the social
democratic offshoot of liberal democratic precedent.
34.
Clearly there is more to Anglo-American relations than at first meets the eye,
and in partnership these two international nations are a formidable adversary
to any power that may have delusions of grandeur as to the value of political
or economic totalitarianism in the contemporary world, a world that, thanks in
the main to America, has effectively overhauled humanistic totalitarianism and
now stands in the vanguard of civilized development (I nearly said evolution
but, in reality, America signifies a devolutionary regression from fascist
totalitarianism), a vanguard fast approaching the cross-roads, it seems to me,
between the liberal death of man and the coming liberal birth of God, when
history will permit us to infer a positively synthetic attraction backing off
economic liberalism which will signify stage five in the overall development of
civilization towards a civilized peak owing more to genuine religion than to
anything that may previously have passed for religion but was really, when not
worldly and quasi-political or economic, either a pseudo-religious affirmation
or a quasi-religious negation of cosmic science.
35.
Certainly one can infer from our previous theorizing about the five stages of
civilization that the coming liberal birth of God the Father in what I have
termed a pluralist manifestation of centrism would have as its historical
parallel the liberal birth of man in parliamentarianism, just as this latter
positivity can be superimposed upon the even more historical liberal birth of
Devil the Mother in pagan polytheism, whether of a Hindu provenance or
otherwise. And if the eventual tightening-up and centro-complexification
of liberal centrism, contingent upon its diastolic efficacy in respect of
globalization, leads to the totalitarian form of centrism, to Social Theocracy
proper, commensurate with a progressive reaction to its ideological precursor,
then that worthy outcome to the historical process will be to the future what
Social Democracy was to the humanistic past - namely the more evolved mode of
theocracy which would not only parallel the totalitarian manifestation of
Social Democracy in strictly chronological terms, but parallel, in its own
context, the monotheistic theocracy or, more correctly, autocracy which
signified a progressive reaction to the polytheistic autocracy of the liberal
inception of civilization in respect of cosmic science.
36.
Therefore a line of parallel descent from, say, Judaism (Social Autocracy?) to
Social Democracy (Communism) to Social Theocracy (monistic Centrism) would be
the totalitarian successors, in each case, to the parallel descents from
Hinduism (Liberal Autocracy?) to Liberal Democracy (Parliamentarianism) to
'Liberal' Theocracy (pluralistic Centrism), in respect of civilized positivity,
just as we noted such descents, in respect of the negative stages of civilization,
from Roman Catholicism to Fascism on the one hand, that of totalitarian death,
and from Protestantism to American-style Corporatism on the other hand, that of
liberal death.
37.
Of course, birth and death are both part of life in respect of civilized
development, since although, in biological terms, birth is the gateway to life
and death the exit from life as we generally understand it, the distinction
between stages of civilization characterized by 'birth' and those characterized
by 'death' is, as we have argued, between positive and negative approaches to
life, approaches which either affirm freedom in one of a number of possible
ways, or which, in turning against such freedom, deny it, substituting,
instead, some bound approach to either soma or psyche, as the case may be.
38.
For if pagan freedom is to be equated, under the aegis of Devil the Mother,
with free soma, then the negation of such freedom, broadly stigmatized as
sinful, will be overwhelmingly associated with bound soma, with the binding of
soma, as symbolized by the Crucifixion, and thus with Christian criteria that
stand for the effective death of Devil the Mother, of pagan freedom, in
consequence of the sacrifice of Her Son, the so-called 'Son of God', on the
Cross, so that mankind, not yet entered into humanistic maturity, could be
delivered from pagan sacrifice and simply worship its death via the Eucharistic
paradox of the Saviour's own body and blood.
39.
Yet if the death of Devil the Mother is commensurate, in its somatic binding,
with a negative approach to life, then the ensuing birth of man has less to do
with eternal negativity than with temporal positivity, with affirmation of free
psyche on relative terms, such that unleash the potential of humanity to
develop independently of Christian interference or restrictions, since less
concerned with somatic binding than with psychic freedom in accordance with the
knowledgeable dictates of reason in what was to become increasingly known as an
Age of Reason. But such freedom, being temporal, could not last for ever, not even as long as its pagan precedent, but was
challenged and overhauled, in due course, by a new negative approach to life
that, synthetically backing off the overly totalitarian version of psychic
reason, the version more to be associated with social democracy than
parliamentary democracy, took the form of psychic binding, the form, in other
words, of subordination of the individual - and thus of the individual's
reasoning powers - to the State, to dictatorial tyranny, to the nation, the
national destiny, economic revival, and other such historical abstractions,
which had the effect of stifling initiative, and thus life, and encouraging the
emergence of obedient automatons who would reflect the worship of the machine,
of machine culture, which the birth of man had initially made possible, if more
in the service of man than against him. Even the liberal version of the
death of man which emerged triumphant at the expense of its totalitarian
precursor was not averse to restricting psychic freedom in the interests of a
neo-pagan-like insistence on somatic freedom, the 'body beautiful', the
'survival of the strongest', the 'muscular superman', which is a characteristic,
ironically, of this second negative attitude to life that worships death, if
not exactly the death of Devil the Mother (which latter it nevertheless has
something in common with) so much as of humanism itself, as it succumbs to the
power of the machine and finds its appointed place in temporal subordination to
machine culture.
40.
The corporate form of death, whether totalitarian or liberal, is no friend of
free psyche but, rather, the enemy of psychic freedom, not least in respect of
a sort of fundamentalist adherence to the so-called Divine Creator at the
expense of a more evolutionist approach to Creation not incompatible with
atheism, even as it seeks to distance itself from an outright avowal of somatic
freedom in pagan vein. Rather, it is torn between psychic binding and
somatic freedom in antithetical vein to how the liberal birth of man, rooted in
positivity, approached such freedom and binding, with an emphasis on the psyche
at the expense of the body, on human rights and justice and equality for all,
irrespective of their physical or social standing. Thus humanism ends in
antithetical fashion to how it began, with a denial of psychic freedom and thus
the sort of rationalism that led to a rejection of both superstition and ecclesiastical
tyranny, as it proclaims its faith in the Old Testament and Creationism in what
amounts to a psychic deference to somatic freedom which owes more to paganism
than ever it does to anything genuinely Christian.
41.
But if the negative attitude to life of liberal corporatism is the end of the
road of death as far as humanity is concerned, a humanity still officially
rooted in Creationism, then the beginning of the road of life as far as true
divinity is concerned lies in a repudiation of such Creationism, of Biblical
superstition and scriptural pedanticism, and in the
coming to pass of an age, under Messianic auspices, in which psychic freedom
achieves its absolute and eternal sanction, its apotheosis one might say, in
what will be the ultimate stage of civilization, a stage not of Devil the
Mother, still less of man, but of God the Father, in which the psyche will
attain to heights of transcendental freedom that will be as far above the
rational psyche of the Age of Reason as Truth is above knowledge, or Joy above
pleasure, and contrary to any pagan or neo-pagan affirmation of soma, whether
directly or indirectly, absolutely or relatively.
42. I
spoke at the beginning of this text about civilization alternating between
devolution and evolution in respect of de-centralization and centralization,
but one can see, now, that this alternation between liberalism and
totalitarianism, pluralism and monism, is less a manifestation of devolution or
evolution than of a diastolic and systolic alternation within either evolutionary
or devolutionary stages of civilization, and that as civilization starts out
positively, in somatic freedom, so it ends positively, in psychic freedom, on
an antithetically evolutionary basis to how it began, thereby passing from an
evolutionary stage involving progressive reaction to positive action of an
absolutely somatic nature, to an evolutionary stage involving progressive
reaction to positive action of an absolutely psychic nature or, more correctly
nurture, the alpha and omega of evolution, via a devolutionary stage involving
regressive reaction to negative action of a relatively bound-somatic nature, an
evolutionary stage involving progressive reaction to positive action of a
relatively free-psychic nurture, and a devolutionary stage involving regressive
reaction to negative action of a relatively bound-psychic nature or, rather,
nurture.
43.
These stages, to repeat, are the liberal-to-totalitarian manifestations of the
birth of Devil the Mother, which is evolutionary in its centro-complexification;
the totalitarian-to-liberal manifestations of the death of Devil the Mother,
which is devolutionary in its de-centralization; the liberal-to-totalitarian
manifestations of the birth of man, which is evolutionary in its centro-complexification; the totalitarian-to-liberal
manifestations of the death of man, which is devolutionary in its
de-centralization; and, finally, the liberal-to-totalitarian manifestations of
the birth of God the Father, which is - or will be - evolutionary in its centro-complexification.
44.
Therefore a positive thetic action in respect of the
liberal birth of Devil the Mother gives rise, in due centralizing course, to a
progressive antithetic reaction in respect of the totalitarian birth of Devil
the Mother within the overall evolutionary confines of pagan civilization, as
from cosmic polytheism to cosmic monotheism; subsequent to which a negative
synthetic attraction of totalitarian like backing off totalitarian like duly
becomes a negative thetic action in respect of the
totalitarian death of Devil the Mother which gives rise, in due de-centralizing
course, to a regressive antithetic reaction in respect of the liberal death of
Devil the Mother within the overall devolutionary confines of Christian
civilization, as from Roman Catholicism to Protestantism; subsequent to which a
positive synthetic attraction of liberal like backing off liberal like duly
becomes a positive thetic action in respect of the
liberal birth of man which gives rise, in due centralizing course, to a
progressive antithetic reaction in respect of the totalitarian birth of man
within the overall evolutionary confines of humanistic civilization, as from
liberal democracy, or parliamentarianism, to social democracy, or communism;
subsequent to which a negative synthetic attraction of totalitarian like
backing off totalitarian like duly becomes a negative thetic
action in respect of the totalitarian death of man which gives rise, in due
de-centralizing course, to a regressive antithetic reaction in respect of the
liberal death of man within the overall devolutionary confines of corporate
civilization, as from fascism to American-style capitalism; subsequent to which
a positive synthetic attraction of liberal like backing off liberal like should
duly become a positive thetic action in respect of
the liberal birth of God the Father which should give rise, in due centralizing
course, to a progressive antithetic reaction in respect of the totalitarian
birth of God the Father within the overall evolutionary confines of centrist
civilization, the coming transcendental civilization that, unlike previous
stages or types of civilization, will be truly global, and hence universal, the
resolution of the dialectical process which will bring civilization to an
eternal peak of social theocratic purism.
45. I
spoke a little earlier of the coming positive synthetic attraction to liberal
corporatism as involving a pluralistic approach to Social Theocracy,
commensurate, as in previous texts, with my definition of 'Kingdom Come' as
involving an administrative aside to a triadic Beyond composed of three tiers,
duly subdivided three ways, which would be intended to serve persons of both
Catholic and Protestant descent, as well as others of a non-Christian
background provided they met the necessary criteria and were desirous of being
'saved' from political and/or economic 'sins of the world' to the said triadic
Beyond in the name of religious sovereignty and such rights as would accrue to
a religiously sovereign People in the event of a majority mandate for religious
sovereignty in consequence of a paradoxical utilization of the electoral or
democratic process specifically geared to that end, a utilization which would
have to have been officially endorsed and become widely accepted in any country
earmarked for such a paradox on the basis of a theocratic or, at any rate,
church-hegemonic tradition which pointed in that direction and thus made the
whole concept of such an election somehow feasible and credible, if not, in the
nature of things, a foregone conclusion.
46.
Life is always more complicated than any one philosophy would allow, even if it
is arguably the greatest philosophy in the history of the world, and therefore
one cannot take it for granted that a majority mandate for religious
sovereignty would automatically follow upon the legitimizing of such a
paradoxical election - long identified by me with Judgement - either because
the People were ill-prepared for it or were dissuaded from pursuing it or for
some other reason not unconnected with political or economic tradition. I
cannot automatically anticipate a majority mandate for religious sovereignty
even in countries which I would consider most likely to endorse such a
sovereignty or to be most entitled, if you will, for such a paradoxical outcome
to any electoral process, even though I am as convinced as one can possibly be,
as a reasoning being, a philosopher, that there is not and never could be any
other way to 'Kingdom Come', to a society structured around religious sovereignty,
than via such a paradoxical election, since it is the only way or means by
which a people can be delivered from political sovereignty to an altogether
higher type of sovereignty in a superior type of society, it neither being
feasible nor desirable that a people should be 'divided and ruled', like so
many disparate mobs of sheep, by black sheep posing as shepherds who, in
excluding genuine shepherds, or theocratic leaders, make it easier for various
types of wolf-like predator to prey upon them and effectively rip them off from
a standpoint rooted in commercial vanity and having as its raison d'être the
financial and social aggrandisement of the vain, for which read: 'the noumenally sensual' (as discussed in other texts).
47.
Democracy is not and never can be, from a genuinely theocratic standpoint, a
standpoint that towers above the world from a posterior (the Beyond) rather
than, like the predatory autocratic, anterior (the Behind) position, an
end-in-itself, but, given the consequences attending the divide-and-rule
splintering and fragmenting of the People, rather something that should be
utilized to a higher end, an end that liberates the People not only from the
world of their own phenomenally sensual shortcomings, but, no less significantly,
from the predatory exploitations to which they are perforce subjected through
being confined to a phenomenally sensual position at the base of what, in other
texts, has been described as the diagonally ascending axis of church-hegemonic
criteria that culminates in some form or degree of noumenal
sensibility.
48.
Unfortunately the traditional mode of noumenal
sensibility, which in the West tends to take a Roman Catholic form, is not much
good, these days, for delivering the masses - less ecclesiastic laity than
politicized 'People' - from the synthetically artificial exploiters that
prey upon them from heights of commercial vanity, and neither are the proletarianized masses greatly or permanently saved from
their sins and/or pseudo-crimes in bound psyche, not to mention counter-damned
in state-subordinate vein from their follies and/or pseudo-evils in free soma,
when salvation, short of a monk- or nun-like dropping out of society, merely
has reference to verbal absolution for penitential contrition and is even less
metaphysically efficacious in this regard than transcendental meditation, its
mankind-level counterpart in parts of the Far East, much as that also leaves
something to be desired from a truly godly standpoint - namely the coming cyborg stage of life which would have reference to global
universality in 'Kingdom Come' and be metaphysically, and therefore
transcendentally, beyond not only anything religiously at the level or stage of
mankind but, for other and effectively less-favoured types of environment,
religiously at the stage of nature and/or the Cosmos as well.
49. The reader will, I trust, have read my previous texts, and
therefore know what I am talking about here. Nothing short, in other
words, of Social Theocracy can possibly suffice to deliver the People more
efficaciously from their worldly predicament and thus, with the prospect of
more attention directed at the development of a sensible alternative to what
currently rules the synthetically artificial roost, elevate them above their lowly
position to one destined to become increasingly commensurate not only with
genuine but with definitive godliness, not to mention, where their female
counterparts are concerned, antidevilishness, the antimetachemical complement to anything properly metaphysical.
50. But Social Theocracy is not, and never could be,
liberal in the sense of wanting to co-exist with political parties on a
democratically pluralistic basis. The pluralism to which it subscribes in
respect of a triadic Beyond and the administrative aside to such a Beyond has
nothing whatsoever to do with political pluralism, since democracy is perceived
as a problem from which the People as electorate ought to be saved, or
delivered, bearing in mind that their division at the hands of politicians
posing as leaders, of 'black sheep' masquerading as 'shepherds', only plays
into the hands of the wolf-like exploiters of their weakness, their
confused status within the pluralistic
context, and prevents them from uniting against both exploiters and deceivers
alike.
