CYCLE TWENTY-SEVEN: FREEDOM AND BINDING

 

1.   'Turning the tables' on such heathenistic media as film and photography would be equivalent to 'turning the tables' on feminism, since it was such objectively-based media which gave both encouragement and justification to female liberation (from Christian-type constraints) and enabled the Devil to ride out, so to speak, as the diabolical genie was released from the bottle in which it had been contained, if somewhat imperfectly, for so long.

 

2.   Certainly war, especially the First and Second World Wars, gave impetus to the liberation of women from traditional male-regulated constraints, but war by itself would not have succeeded in liberating them from the home, were it not tied up with and linked to the growth of such heathenistic media as film and photography.

 

3.   Women are both more photogenic and filmically attractive, as a rule, than men, and tend, in consequence, to dominate the media in question, serving as more credible mouthpieces and exemplars of the sort of appearance-based subject-matter in which both film and photography deals.

 

4.   In this respect, there is less equality (with men) than female domination, and only purblind liberals would fail to perceive in modern society the actuality of female domination, which is characteristic not only of the age but of heathenistic criteria in general.

 

5.   Liberalism may work with and between men, where an XY chromosomal balance is in order, but as soon as women are permitted to enter the fray the XY balance is soon disrupted and subverted by an XX chromosomal partiality, such that results in the exclusion of the Y chromosome and the domination of what remains of masculinity by the twin objectivity of the XX.

 

6.   Not only are women more objective than men, and thus more at home in outgoing media like film and photography, but they perceive men, in consequence, as subjects to be controlled and dominated from an objective vantage-point, rather like subjects of a reigning monarch.

 

7.   Men, by contrast, tend, when true to themselves, to perceive women as objects, largely though not exclusively in connection with sex, because men are more subjective than women and are inclined, in consequence, to regard that which is not of themselves in an objective light.

 

8.   Thus, paradoxically, objectivity breeds a will to subject what is perceived to be subjective, whereas subjectivity, by contrast, breeds the will to objectivize what is not subjective, and thus to regard if not treat it as an object.  The one tends to learn about its subject, while the other tends to use its object.

 

9.   Accordingly, men are subjects for women while women are objects for men, to greater or lesser extents depending on the individual and the age and/or society to which he/she pertains.

 

10.  Just as subjectivity is undermined and constrained when objectivity is free to be hegemonic, as in heathenistic contexts, so objectivity will be undermined and constrained when subjectivity is free or, rather, bound to be hegemonic, as in Christian-type contexts.  For the objectivity of free will thrives at the expense of natural determinism, while the subjectivity of natural determinism can only thrive at the expense of free will.

 

11.  The twentieth century may have been the century par excellence of freedom (for the female elements in life from male constraints), but it is to be hoped that the twenty-first century will open the door to the development, through both religious sovereignty and, where this is not possible, greater economic sovereignty (republicanism), of binding, which is to say, the binding of males to what is properly subjective and less to do, in consequence, with free will than with natural determinism.

 

12.  In fact, I have now come to the conclusion that such a binding of males to subjectivity will have less to do with power and glory than with form and content, since these are modes of particle and wavicle division which are, in effect, relative to a female/male dichotomy between objectivity and subjectivity, the Kingdom and/or (democratic) State, corresponding to fire and water, on the one hand, and the Church and/or Centre (as defined by me in relation to religious sovereignty), corresponding to vegetation and air, on the other hand.
