CYCLE THIRTY-TWO: THE STRUGGLE WITHIN IDEALISM
1. Perfect form may be found in knowledge,
whether carnally in sensuality or intellectually in sensibility, but perfect
content is only to be found in joy, whether aurally in sensuality or
spiritually in sensibility.
2. From the standpoint of its physicality with
regard to the phenomenal planes of vegetation, both massive and voluminous,
pleasure will always remain an imperfect manifestation of content, just as,
conversely, truth will remain an imperfect manifestation of form on account of
its metaphysicality with regard to the noumenal planes of air, both sequential and spaced.
3. But imperfect form leads to perfect content,
truth leading to joy, whether in sensuality or sensibility, music or
meditation, just as, lower down the elemental hierarchy, perfect form leads to
imperfect content, knowledge leading to pleasure, whether in sensuality or
sensibility, coitus or cogitation.
4. Consequently the man who wishes for perfect
content will not be one to pursue pleasure through knowledge, where content is
ever imperfect, but, rather, one to pursue joy through truth, whether the truth
be of the ears and 'once born' or of the lungs and 'reborn', the latter alone
commensurate with genuine spirituality.
5. Consequently, transcendental meditation is
the methodology by which the maximum of joy in the most perfect content can be
achieved, bringing the devotee, effectively a superman, to the peaks of
cultural enlightenment in the spirituality of sensible being.
6. That man who pursues perfect content through culture
is an idealist, for idealism appertains to the metaphysical element of air with
regard to both aural and spiritual manifestations of cultural commitment.
7. But the idealist can be submasculine
or supermasculine, given to the subnature
and subculture of aural metaphysics in relation to the subconscious self which
listens (to music) or given, by contrast, to the supernature
and superculture of spiritual metaphysics in relation
to the superconscious self which meditates (upon the
breath).
8. Only the supermasculine
idealist, being spiritual, is able to achieve the most perfect content, for the
submasculine idealist, a subman,
is dependent, through the ears, on what comes to him, on the airwaves, from without,
whereas the supermasculine idealist, the superman, is
committed, through the lungs, to what inspires him, on the breath, from within,
and it is only in relation to the 'kingdom within' that metaphysical
sensibility, and hence spirituality, is to be found.
9. Verily, the superman is not only the ultimate
man, he is the ultimate idealist, for whom respiratory sensibility is more
important than auditory sensuality, and who is accordingly as genuinely
spiritual as the subman is musical. For spirituality is the
opposite of musicality, and only that noumenal man
who is 'reborn' into spirituality will be beyond music, and hence the sensual
seductions of the ears to aural idealism.
10. May the spiritual idealism of the superman be
the mode of metaphysics which characterizes the idealism of 'Kingdom Come',
once things pass from the 'kingdom without' to the 'kingdom within' in due Superchristian vein, eclipsing the Superheathen
rule of noumenal sensuality. Only thus will content be definitively
perfect.
