THEORY AND PRACTICE

Truth pertains to man,

Supertruth to the Superman,

And supra-truth to the Superbeing.

Man can know the truth about himself

And the future course of evolution,

But he has only a limited capacity

For supertruth and supra-truth, as applying

To the most intensive cultivation of spirit,

Whether indirectly through hypercontemplation,

Or directly through hypermeditation,

Such as could only be experienced and endured

By his post-human successors,

The superhuman brain collectivizations

And the superbeingful new-brain collectivizations

Of the post-human millennium

Preceding the Beyond ... of Heaven.

Nevertheless, man will come to experience

Supertruth and supra-truth to some extent

During the course of this ultimate civilization.
