CYCLE THIRTY-SIX: SOCIAL TRANSCENDENTALIST PLURALISM

 

1.   The hypothetical Centrist Federation to which I subscribe would be the converse of the United Kingdom ... of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in that it would be a pseudo-Kingdom serving a genuine Centre, the triadic Beyond of a religiously sovereign People, as opposed, like the UK, to having, amongst other things, a pseudo-Centre, the Established Church, subordinate to a genuine Kingdom, of which the British monarch is reigning head.

 

2.   This reigning monarch is also, paradoxically, figurehead of the Established Church, which is accordingly subordinated to the State or, rather, the Kingdom over which the monarch constitutionally rules.  Consequently the Anglican Church is a pseudo-Centre in which not transcendentalist form and content in relation to truth and joy, but fundamentalist power and glory in relation to beauty and love are the presiding ideals.

 

3.   There is little or no prospect, nor any justification, for disestablishing the Anglican Church in England so long as the United Kingdom prevails.  Only the hypothetical coming to pass, in response to the development of a Centrist federation of the Gaelic peoples, of an English republic ... would justify the disestablishment of the Church in question.

 

4.   In the meantime, 'father time' will persist in having his or, rather, her Church, the pseudo-Centre, while 'mother volume' will continue to wield governmental authority, from her parliamentary vantage-point, over her Church, the pseudo-Church of Protestant (Puritan) humanism.

 

5.   Both the ultra-libertarianism of the (constitutional) Kingdom and the libertarianism of the (parliamentary) State will continue to prevail and to keep Britain, through English rule/governance, firmly within the parameters of a female hegemony, the hegemony of Superheathen and Heathen values not only at the expense of but, officially, to the exclusion of Christian and Superchristian ones.

 

6.   Only the Centrist Federation, as conceived of by me in relation to religious sovereignty within a triadic Beyond, can deliver both the Scotch and the Welsh peoples, together with their Irish counterparts, from this ungodly state-of-affairs, and return them to their rightful 'high estate' within the Gaelic nation.

 

7.   Only Social Transcendentalism offers the Gaelic peoples of these islands a way out of their divisions and the prospect, in consequence, of a unified future in which they will be able to work for the common Gaelic good rather than, as all too often in the past, against one another at England's behest.

 

8.   Although ultra-conservative in its metaphysical idealism, Social Transcendentalism allows for a modified conservatism (nonconformism) and a modified libertarianism (humanism) 'down below', in the bottom and middle tiers of its projected triadic Beyond, thereby precluding the possibility of an overly partisan Beyond such that would not only be ideologically unviable, but philosophically and ethnically unviable as well.

 

9.   Hence, although Social Transcendentalism leads from the metaphysical vantage-point of ultra-conservatism, it does not insist on an ultra-conservative stance for everybody, but allows for the differentials that will characterize the Gaelic peoples as and when they democratically abandon their respective ethnic traditions for the Social Transcendentalist unity of the triadic Beyond.

 

10.  Only a majority mandate for religious sovereignty via Social Transcendentalism will satisfy me that the peoples concerned are ready and willing to abandon their dialectical traditions for the benefit of the synthetic transmutations which my revolutionary ideological philosophy holds out to them, effectively unifying what was divided.

 

11.  Each Gaelic country must come to a decision on this matter in its own time, when the time is ripe, and thus move beyond either Irish or British nationality in the interests of the unitary Gaelic nationality which, being properly cultural, will alone guarantee them a peaceful and harmonious future, one delivered not only from Irish/British antagonisms, but from the actuality of the United Kingdom and the continuing rule of Irish, Scotch, and Welsh by and from England.

 

12.  Although there are parts of England that might conceivably be eligible, one day, for inclusion within the Centrist Federation, England is far and away too wealthy a country to be capable of adopting a preponderantly cultural, and hence religious, attitude to life, which is why a republicanism centred on economic values would not be inappropriate for England in the event of the various Gaelic peoples democratically opting for federal unity under Social Transcendentalism ... at the expense not only of their own republicanism (necessarily 'pseudo' in the case of Catholic Southern Ireland), but, more generally, the United Kingdom of what is currently Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
