CYCLE TWO

1. Of course culture and race are two different things, even if two sides of the same abstract, or noumenal, coin - a coin on which the heads side, as it were, will always be characterized by culture and the tails side by race.

2. But race and culture nonetheless complement and even confirm each other, and no higher culture can be achieved except on the basis of a racial predisposition in the peoples concerned. In this respect, culture is quite unlike civilization, which requires not a racial but a generative precondition or basis, and applies, in any case, to the concrete realm of the phenomenal, with particular regard to the planes of volume and mass.

3. The planes of time and space, on the other hand, are precisely those on which culture and race have their principal thrones, and one can distinguish space from time on the basis of culture from race, duly dividing each between beauty and truth, and truth and beauty, as between clear and holy manifestations of culture and unholy and unclear manifestations of race.

4. The student familiar with my texts will know - or should know - that the antipodes of a given spectrum or, rather, plane tend to be mutually exclusive, and that movement from race to culture or from culture to race, as from sensuality to sensibility, tends to be in the diagonal bisecting of such contiguous planes as pertain, as here, either to space and time or, down below, to volume and mass.

5. Since one can rise or fall diagonally, as from time to space or from space to time, it follows that a diagonal rise from the one to the other will be commensurate with progress from race to culture, while a diagonal fall from the one to the other will be commensurate, by contrast, with a regression from culture to race. For not only are race and culture of time and space, but they are of it in diametrically antithetical ways, as between beauty and truth in the case of space, and truth and beauty in the case of time.

6. The distinction between beauty and truth is of course germane to a gender-based dichotomy between appearance and essence, will and soul, with the former female and the latter male, since noumenal, or upper-class, females are rooted in will and noumenal, or upper-class, males, by contrast, centred in soul, as, in elemental terms, between fire and air, metachemistry and metaphysics.

7. Culture is no more exclusively metaphysical than space, while race is no more exclusively metachemical than time. Beautiful culture is simply the female manifestation of culture and is therefore metachemical, whereas true culture is its male manifestation, and therefore metaphysical. True race, on the other hand, is simply the male manifestation of race and is therefore metaphysical, whereas beautiful race is its female manifestation, which happens to be metachemical.

8. Hence noumenal males (divine) can only rise, in keeping with their subjective bias for truth, or essence, from time to space, as from true race to true culture, while noumenal females (diabolic) have no option but to fall, in keeping with their objective bias for beauty, or appearance, from space to time, as from beautiful culture to beautiful race.

9. To rise from time to space is to progress from metaphysical sensuality to metaphysical sensibility, as, in organic terms, from the ears to the lungs, and is effectively to be saved from racial truth to cultural truth. To fall, on the other hand, from space to time is to regress from metachemical sensuality to metachemical sensibility, as, in organic terms, from the eyes to the heart, and is effectively to be damned from cultural beauty to racial beauty.

10. Hence the salvation of noumenal males, or gods, from time to space presupposes the damnation of noumenal females, or devils, from space to time. Those who were 'last' in true race become 'first' in true culture, while those who were 'first' in beautiful culture become 'last' in beautiful race. From being a plane below females in racial truth, males rise diagonally to being a plane above them in cultural truth. Conversely, from being a plane above males in cultural beauty, females fall diagonally to being a plane below them in racial beauty.

11. Having dealt briefly with space and time, culture and race, let us now turn to volume and mass, civilization and generation, their lower-class, or phenomenal, counterparts.

12. Since one can rise or fall diagonally, as from mass to volume or from volume to mass, it follows that a diagonal rise from the one to the other will be commensurate with progress from generation to civilization, while a diagonal fall from the one to the other will be commensurate, by contrast, with a regression from civilization to generation. For not only are generation and civilization of mass and volume, but they are of it in diametrically antithetical ways, as between strength and knowledge in the case of volume, and knowledge and strength in the case of mass.

13. The distinction between strength and knowledge is, of course, germane to a gender-based dichotomy between quantity and quality, spirit and ego, with the former female and the latter male, since phenomenal, or lower-class, females are rooted in spirit and phenomenal, or lower-class, males, by contrast, centred in ego, as, in elemental terms, between water and vegetation (earth), chemistry and physics.

14. Civilization is no more exclusively physical than volume, while generation is no more exclusively chemical than mass. Strong civilization is simply the female manifestation of civilization and is therefore chemical, whereas knowledgeable civilization is its male manifestation, and therefore physical. Knowledgeable generation, on the other hand, is simply the male manifestation of generation and is therefore physical, whereas strong generation is its female manifestation, which happens to be chemical.

15. Hence phenomenal males (masculine) can only rise, in keeping with their subjective bias for knowledge, or quality, from mass to volume, as from knowledgeable generation to knowledgeable civilization, while phenomenal females (feminine) have no option but to fall, in keeping with their objective bias for strength, or quantity, from volume to mass, as from strong civilization to strong generation.

16. To rise from mass to volume is to progress from physical sensuality to physical sensibility, as, in organic terms, from the phallus to the brain, and is effectively to be saved from generative knowledge to civilized knowledge. To fall, on the other hand, from volume to mass is to regress from chemical sensuality to chemical sensibility, as, in organic terms, from the tongue to the womb, and is effectively to be damned from civilized strength to generative strength.

17. Hence the salvation of phenomenal males, or men, from mass to volume presupposes the damnation of phenomenal females, or women, from volume to mass. Those who were 'last' in knowledgeable generation become 'first' in knowledgeable civilization, while those who were 'first' in strong civilization become 'last' in strong generation. From being a plane below females in generative knowledge, males rise diagonally to being a plane above them in civilized knowledge. Conversely, from being a plane above males in civilized strength, females fall diagonally to being a plane below them in generative strength.
