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
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
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.
