.
51. Thus
it presupposes the rejection not only of cosmic and natural manifestations of
godliness, not to mention the traditionally more prevalent devilishness and antidevilishness characterizing the sensual and sensible
modes of metachemical monotheism, but also the human
manifestation of godliness in transcendental meditation, which in its
respiratory sensibility is only the upper-class male counterpart, in Eastern
civilization, to the effectively lower-class male reality, in cerebral
sensibility, of Christian prayer, and therefore something no-less anterior to
People's civilization, especially in its proletarian or international modes,
than the egocentricity of Man, bearing in mind its reliance if not on
non-synthetic artificiality then, in almost subhuman and pre-human terms, on
synthetic naturalness and/or non-synthetic naturalness instead.
52. In
sum, the cosmic roots of Buddhism render it and kindred transcendental
religions no-less unsuited to the religious self-realization of People's
civilization than those other religions whose deities go back to the same
roots, if rather more on metachemical than on
metaphysical terms. As a loose guide to
future religious progress, transcendental meditation may not be without
significance; but as an alternative or successor to the more worldly devotions,
it must altogether fail to convince one, like prayer, of its proletarian
credibility in relation to synthetic artificiality.
53. Therefore
the transcendentalism that effectively 'resurrects the dead' will need to
develop a much more synthetically artificial approach to religion than anything
hitherto imagined, an approach in which the gradual cyborgization
of life will completely transform the terms by which godliness not only exists
but achieves its redemption in Heaven, in the spinal-cord life of the soul,
which is the only eternal life and true end of religious striving in the utmost
joy.
54. For
compared to the eternal life of the soul, the egocentricity of Man is a
death-in-life, a brainstem-centred shortfall from the full gamut of self in the
unfettered soul of the free spinal cord which, with Man however, is subverted
from the standpoint of ego in terms of pleasure, a second-rate order of soul
having reference to the rule, in knowledge, of the brain stem, and thus to the utilization
not of the lungs but of the brain-proper, as in prayer or, for that matter,
cogitation generally.
55. Thus
while the masculine dead-in-life are at least, as males, on the side of life,
of self, their approach to it, being physical rather than metaphysical, is
effectively an egocentric dead-end which, appertaining as knowledge to relative
truth, precludes the absolute pleasure of joy, which is alone commensurate with
Heaven. The dead-in-life, appertaining
more physically to the mundane world, tend to hype both the ego and soul of
physical sensibility towards a metaphysical status, wherein man is deemed
equivalent to God and the earth to Heaven.
But, in reality, they are at a Christian shortfall from any such
soul-centred height, and effectively subvert religion, in typically worldly
vein, in consequence.
56. But
bad as that is, it is indubitably worse when the relative importance of psyche
and soma from a male standpoint is itself subverted and effectively inverted
through undue emphasis, via 'the Son', on bound soma at the expense of the free
psyche that metaphorically accords with 'the Father', whether in relation to
Man, as in Christianity, or to God, as in religions more characterized by
transcendental meditation than by prayer.
57. The
male reality of psyche preceding and predominating over soma, which should grant prominence to the concept
of 'the Father' at the expense of 'the Son', insofar as the one can be said to
precede the other, is rendered more difficult of acknowledgement when the
religion in question has an almost fatalistic tendency to grant greater
prominence and significance to 'the Son' in relation to Jesus Christ than to
His 'Father'; although it must be remembered that a metaphorical
exemplification of the male reality of psyche preceding soma is not necessarily
what such terms imply in Christian usage, bearing in mind the linear
progression in which 'the Son' is thought of as superseding 'the Father' pretty
much as Christ superseding Jehovah or the New Testament superseding the Old
Testament, or the world (of Western civilization in which Christianity
flourished) the netherworld (of Middle Eastern civilization in which Judaism
flourished), so that the result is an idolatrous worship of a 'person', viz.
Christ, as 'Son of God' or even, in more radically worldly Christian
traditions, as 'God the Son'.
58. But
even when a sense of psyche preceding soma as male reality is attached to the
concepts of 'Father' and 'Son', history shows that the emphasis on the
Crucified, as on the Crucifix, does little to shift the focus back up to 'the
Father' but, rather, focuses attention on a paradigm of bound soma at the
expense of free psyche in almost female vein - a paradox doubtless owing not a
little to the traditional dominance of females in Western civilization, in
which the importance of both will and spirit, power and glory, force and
motion, as applying, in particular, to the metachemical
and chemical modes of free soma, is exaggerated out of all proportion to their
actual worth from a male standpoint, and compounded by the generally
lower-class appeal and nature of Christianity as a religion not merely in which
the masses have a major part but a religion for the masses, in which the development of psyche
at the expense of soma must seem a very uphill struggle, assuming it to have
any relevance at all, in view of the kind of mundane environmental climate -
Celtic-type mountainous exceptions notwithstanding - in which it developed.
59. No,
it is clear to me that a religion which stresses the equality of all souls is
somewhat reductionist in its approach to life, reductionist in an overly
worldly way which, conditioned by temperate environmental factors having
especial applicability to Western Europe traditionally, cannot possibly be expected
to do justice to those for whom, quite apart from gender distinctions, soul is
manifestly joyful through transcendental meditation in some Eastern mountain
retreat, or even proud or loving through other factors than those appertaining
to the mental pleasures of prayer, and can therefore be regarded from a variety
of standpoints, not least negative, which suggest that more is at large here
than simply what typifies Man in his Christian surroundings.
60. In truth,
the only soul that accords with God, and then less in relation to his egoistic
truth than to the achievement of a heavenly redemption, is the joyful soul that
is only possible in relation to self-unity in the spinal cord, as the ego
recoils (from the self-annihilating threat posed to it by the out-breath of the
Holy Spirit of Heaven) to self more profoundly at the level beyond the
brain-stem egoism of God the Father which has been identified with Heaven the
Holy Soul, the ultimate grace with which one, as a meditating ego, can be
blessed. Anything else, which can only
be less or contrary to this, is not godly but either manly, in the case of
pleasure, womanly or, rather, antiwomanly (in
sensibility) in the case of pride, or devilish or, rather, antidevilish
(in sensibility) in the case of love, the emotion of soul which is least
essential by dint of its association not with the self, whether directly self-subvertingly or otherwise, but with that not-self which is
called the heart and which causes the emotion of self (as germane to the spinal
cord) to be projected out in typically female vein.
61. Now
this may not, in its sensible positivity, be of eternal death, but it is
certainly not germane to eternal life, like joy, except insofar as we allow to
females a paradoxical psychic emphasis which approaches truth through beauty
and therefore joy through love, the love, we may be sensibly confident, of the
Unclear Soul of Antihell as affiliated to the Antidaughter of the Antidevil
which is not only distinct from the so-called 'spiritual love' of Antihell the Unclear Spirit affiliated to Antidevil the Antimother, but,
more significantly, from the joyful purity of Heaven the Holy Soul as
affiliated to God the Father in relation to metaphysical sensibility.
62. In
short, love has been hyped in Western civilization as something which was
allowed, under female pressures, to eclipse and effectively exclude joy, and
the concept of 'spiritual love', which in reality does not accord with metachemical sensibility, insofar as such love is
manifestly antispiritual (or germane to unclear
spirit) granted undue prominence under the timeworn convention of a metachemical godhead.
63. Frankly,
love is a very inferior thing to joy, not even a second-rate order of soul but
effectively fourth-rate in its metachemical departure
from metaphysics (joy), physics (pleasure), and chemistry (pride), the latter
having more reference to the Unclear Soul of Antipurgatory
as affiliated to the Antidaughter of Antiwoman in relation to that paradoxical psychic emphasis
of feminine females under a masculine male hegemony which approaches knowledge,
and thus pleasure, through strength, and thus pride, something just as
distinct, in this lower-class context, from pleasure as, in the upper-class 'above',
love is from joy.
64. Granted
we shall not confuse the Antidaughter of the Antidevil with God the Father or, 'down below', the Antidaughter of Antiwoman with
Man the Father, neither will we confuse the Unclear Soul of Antihell
with Heaven the Holy Soul, nor the Unclear Soul of Antipurgatory
with Earth the Holy Soul. Indeed,
neither shall we confuse Earth the Holy Soul with Heaven the Holy Soul nor, for
that matter, Man the Father with God the Father, nor any of their somatic
counterparts in either the chemical/physical 'below' or the metachemical/metaphysical
'above'.
65. For
there is just as much difference between Antidevil
the Antimother and the Son of God as there is between
Antihell the Unclear Spirit and the Holy Spirit of
Heaven, not to mention, 'down below' in volume and mass, between Antiwoman the Antimother and the
Son of Man on the one hand, and Antipurgatory the
Unclear Spirit and the Holy Spirit of the Earth on the other hand.
66. In
fact, now that I have reintroduced these terms, always bearing in mind that
soma precedes psyche and is of more importance than psyche with females,
whereas psyche precedes soma and is of more importance than soma with males, I
should point out that terms like the Unclear Soul of Antihell,
intended to define emotional love for metachemical
females, could just as logically be written as the Antisoul
of Antihell, just as Antihell
the Unclear Spirit, intended to define spiritual love for metachemical
females, could be written as Antihell the Antispirit.
67. Frankly
it makes little difference which way one approaches these and other such terms
as long as one remembers that the principal factors are always in soma with
females (even under pressure of a psychic emphasis from sensibly hegemonic
males) but in psyche with males (even under pressure of a somatic emphasis from
sensually hegemonic females), so that, for instance, Devil the Mother/Hell the
Clear Spirit expresses the primacy of metachemical
free soma and the Daughter of the Devil/the Clear Soul of Hell the secondary,
or subordinate, reality of metachemical bound psyche,
in contrast, reverting to male sensibility, to God the Father/Heaven the Holy
Soul expressing the primacy of metaphysical free psyche and the Son of God/the
Holy Spirit of Heaven the secondary, or subordinate, reality of metaphysical
bound soma.
68. Hence,
by extrapolation, Antidevil the Antimother/Antihell the Unclear Spirit (Antispirit)
is still primary in metachemical bound soma and the Antidaughter of the Antidevil/the
Unclear Soul (Antisoul) of Antihell
secondary in metachemical free psyche, while,
conversely, Antigod the Antifather/Antiheaven the Unholy Soul (Antisoul)
is still primary in metaphysical bound psyche and the Antison
of Antigod/the Unholy Spirit (Antispirit)
of Antiheaven its secondary counterpart in
metaphysical free soma.
69. The
emphasis, to be sure, may be on psyche in sensibility or on soma in sensuality,
but the genders nevertheless remain 'true' to their respective dispositions for
either nature (if female) or nurture (if male), soma or psyche, and for this
reason one can infer the possibility of disillusionment with somatic emphasis
on the part of males and, conversely, with psychic emphasis on the part of
females, the bound realities in each case thrust into a falsely secondary
position which does not accord with their actual gender status and fundamental
dispositions.
70. Thus
disillusionment with the absolutely illusory insanity in falsehood/woe of free
metaphysical soma in the Antison of Antigod/the Unholy Spirit of Antiheaven
under the absolutely factual sanity in ugliness/hatred of free metachemical soma in Devil the Mother/Hell the Clear Spirit
may lead to the falsely subordinated reality of Antigod
the Antifather/Antiheaven
the Unholy Soul rejecting such an upended paradox, in which there is an
absolutely foolish acquiescence in metaphysical sin, in favour of the
absolutely truthful sanity in truth/joy of free metaphysical psyche in God the
Father/Heaven the Holy Soul and its bound somatic corollary of the Son of
God/the Holy Spirit of Heaven, the former aspect of metaphysical sensibility
constituting an absolutely blessed deliverance from the absolute damnation of
bound metaphysical psyche, the latter ... absolute salvation from the absolute
curse of free metaphysical soma.
71. Likewise
disillusionment with the relatively illusory insanity in ignorance/pain of free
physical soma in the Antison of Antiman/the
Unholy Spirit of Anti-earth under the relatively factual sanity in
weakness/humility of free chemical soma in Woman the Mother/Purgatory the Clear
Spirit may lead to the falsely subordinated reality of Antiman
the Antifather/Anti-earth the Unholy Soul rejecting
such an upended paradox, in which there is a relatively foolish acquiescence in
physical sin, in favour of the relatively truthful sanity in knowledge/pleasure
of free physical psyche in Man the Father/Earth the Holy Soul and its bound
somatic corollary of the Son of Man/the Holy Spirit of the Earth, the former
aspect of physical sensibility constituting a relatively blessed deliverance
from the relative damnation of bound physical psyche, the latter ... relative
salvation from the relative curse of free physical soma.
72. Either
way, whether in metaphysics or physics, there is a disillusionment with the
enforced subjection under a female hegemony of bound psyche to free soma, and a
progressive liberation struggle diagonally back up from sensuality to
sensibility, as from sequential time to spaced space, ears to lungs, in the
case of metaphysics, and from massive mass to voluminous volume, phallus to
brain, in the case of physics.
73. In
neither context could it be said that males ceased to be creatures for whom
psyche precedes and predominates over soma when they were damned/cursed through
bound psyche/free soma, which is why the possibility of disillusionment with
their immoral/vicious predicament was always there and likely to lead, if
seriously acknowledged, to a rejection of it in favour of loyalty to self - as
indeed to the male reality of psyche preceding and predominating over soma - in
terms of either the truth/joy of God/Heaven or the knowledge/pleasure of
Man/the Earth, as the class or elemental case may be.
74. But
any progressive liberation struggle on the part of males from sensuality to
sensibility within metaphysics or physics, air or vegetation, can only be at
the expense of females within metachemistry or
chemistry, fire or water, and therefore either to the detriment of Devil the
Mother/Hell the Clear Spirit in the one class and/or elemental context or
to the detriment of Woman the
Mother/Purgatory the Clear Spirit in the other, neither of which would continue
to reign over their respective bound psychic counterparts in the Daughter of
the Devil/the Clear Soul of Hell or in the Daughter of Woman/the Clear Soul of
Purgatory but, rather, to suffer the indignity, following sensible
transmutation, of being subordinated, in paradoxical vein, as Antidevil the Antimother/Antihell the Unclear Spirit to the Antidaughter
of the Antidevil/the Unclear Soul of Antihell under the divine male hegemonic reality, in
metaphysics, of God the Father/Heaven the Holy Soul, and, likewise, as Antiwoman the Antimother/Antipurgatory the Unclear Spirit to the Antidaughter
of Antiwoman/the Unclear Soul of Antipurgatory
under the masculine male hegemonic reality, in physics, of Man the Father/Earth
the Holy Soul.
75. Which
leads to the possibility, in due course, of disillusionment on the part of metachemical females with the absolutely fictional insanity
in beauty/love of free metachemical psyche in the Antidaughter of the Antidevil/the
Unclear Soul of Antihell under the absolutely
truthful sanity in truth/joy of free metaphysical psyche in God the
Father/Heaven the Holy Soul, and of the falsely subordinated reality of Antidevil the Antimother/Antihell the Unclear Spirit rejecting such an upended
paradox, in which there is an absolutely modest (good) acquiescence in metachemical punishment, in favour of the absolutely
factual sanity in ugliness/hatred of free metachemical
soma in Devil the Mother/Hell the Clear Spirit and its bound psychic corollary
of the Daughter of the Devil/the Clear Soul of Hell, the former aspect of metachemical sensuality constituting an absolutely cursed
deliverance from the absolute salvation of bound metachemical
soma, the latter ... an absolutely damned rejection of the absolute blessings
of free metachemical psyche.
