PART
ONE:
NOTES ON SOCIETY
(And
its
relationship to the Individual)
1. Societies are composed of individuals,
but
individuals come in many shapes and sizes, with varying commitments to
individualism or, alternatively, to the rejection of individualism in
the
framework of some kind of collectivism, whether with a phenomenal or a
noumenal, a lower- or an upper-class bias.
Not all persons are partial to individualism, and indeed the
more
backward the society the fewer individuals, in any higher sense, there
will be
in it and the more the collective will obtain, whether in relation to
metaphysics or physics, with a bias, more usually, towards the latter.
2. When persons reject individuality they
do so
from a variety of motives, but not invariably on a basis that wishes to
demean
or detract from individualism. Some
societies, it is true, oppose individualism in terms of
self-development of ego
and/or soul by, principally, male individuals, and we may characterize
such
societies as matriarchal and given to a female disposition for the
not-self,
which is to say, for the subordination of the self in either ego or
soul, or
some modification thereof, to the will and/or spirit, the wilful
(instinctual)
and spiritual freedoms of the not-self, so that, with them, soma takes
precedence over psyche, 'matter' over
'mind', nature
over nurture, and a concept of freedom is upheld in relation to the
former at
the expense of the latter, which will simply be subverted and subsumed
into its
service.
3. For, in
truth, that
which rules through the will and/or spirit of the not-self requires the
acquiescence of the self in self-denying service if it is to have its
somatic
way. A subservient ego and/or soul is a
prerequisite of the spirit and/or will having its way in relation to
the
advancement of somatic freedom on either a competitively metachemical
or
chemical basis.
4. Such societies, whether with an
upper-class
metachemical bias (that subordinates metaphysics to itself in the
hegemony of
spatial space over sequential time, eyes over ears) or with a
lower-class
chemical bias (that subordinates physics to itself in the hegemony of
volumetric volume of massive mass, tongue over phallus) will not be too
partial
to individualism, to the development of self in ego and/or soul
principally by
males, but will seek to thwart it at every turn and maintain an ethic,
fundamentally immoral and vicious, of competitive collectivism, or of a
collectivism primarily on the part of subordinate males that defers, in
foolish
submission, to female competitiveness, which is usually more
collectivistically
competitive, whether literally in terms of competing females or of
males who
have effectively betrayed their sex, their gender, and 'gone over' to
the enemy
camp, as it were, on either chemical or metachemical terms in the hope
of a
share of the competitive spoils and a taste of wilful and/or spiritual
power
through rule of a necessarily predatory order.
5. Bent males are less prevalent, it is
probably
true to say, than their foolish counterparts, but, even so, there is
never any
shortage, seemingly, of males who will 'sell out' to female hegemonies
in
objectively somatic competitiveness when it suits their purposes to do
so, with
scoundrelly consequences! For while the
free female is more naturally criminal and therefore diabolical, the
male who
betrays his gender for female advantage has become criminal by default
or,
rather, out of wilful or spiritual perversity, and is avowedly a
scoundrel, or
someone who could have behaved differently, even as a sinful fool, had
he not
chosen to effectively become a female and behave in a scoundrelly
fashion in
objective competition with females proper against the generality of
males.
6. No self-respecting male likes such a
person,
but even when males are not gracefully self-respecting but effectively
sinfully
notself-deferring under female hegemonic pressures in free soma, they
can
distinguish themselves from those who have sold-out to the enemy camp
and
effectively chosen to exploit and belittle them in the interests of
free will
and/or spirit of a metachemical and/or chemical nature.
7. The male fool is akin, in literary
terms, to
a poet; the male scoundrel to a dramatist, for the proper sphere of
drama is
the advocacy of free will and/or spirit, whereas the proper sphere of
poetry is
the rejection of free ego and/or soul from a paradoxical standpoint
which
inclines to emphasize soma at the expense of psyche and thus to
acquiesce, in
secondary vein, in free will and/or spirit of a subjective and
necessarily
subordinate nature, in metaphysics or physics, to the objective modes
of free
will and/or spirit more characteristic of drama.
8. But how does this paradoxical standpoint
come
about in the first place? Precisely on
account of the folly of males who allow themselves to be dominated by
female
will and/or spirit in such fashion that they can no longer properly
relate to
soul and/or ego, but are obliged to reject it in favour of an id and/or
superego-eccentric deference to free soma, both in terms of their own
physical
and/or metaphysical soma and in relation, more pointedly, to the
chemical
and/or metachemical soma of females in free will and/or spirit of a
more
genuine order.
9. For the female is a creature for whom
will
and spirit in somatic not-self come first, and ego and soul afterwards,
and
then in terms, when they are sensually hegemonic, of the modification
of soul
by will and of ego by spirit, so that the bound psyche that defers to
somatic
freedom is neither properly psychocentric (soulful) nor egocentric
(intellectual) in male vein, but of a notself-slavering disposition
which can
be identified with the id and the superego, the former more
metachemical than
chemical and the latter more chemical than metachemical.
10. For fire and water are the female elements par
excellence, the objective elements hailing from a vacuum, and in the
unnaturalness of the one and the supernaturalness of the other only
'bovaryized' modes of soul and ego can exist, to defer, in psychic
subordination, to the per se manifestations of will and spirit
which
characterize free soma of either a metachemical or a chemical,
necessarily
objective, disposition.
11. Societies characterized by female hegemonies
of either a metachemical or a chemical tendency will tend to put an
emphasis,
consciously or unconsciously, on service of society by the individual
rather
than of the individual by society, so that the State tends to take
precedence
over the Church and the latter is, to all intents and purposes, no more
than an
adjunct to the former, scarcely genuine in any Christian sense but
conceived in
such a fashion as to permit the State to have its objective way in what
usually
amounts to unfettered competitiveness with other states and against
those who
are likely to be collectivistically deferential to the prevailing
competition,
be it metachemical and fiery or chemical and watery, materialist or
realist.
12. The Church, in such circumstances, will not be
properly fundamentalist or nonconformist in objectively female vein
but, bound
to free soma through id- and ego-eccentric subversion, either
quasi-materialist
or quasi-realist, serving more to rubber stamp state freedom than to
stand
sensibly apart from any such thing in pursuance of an individualistic
and
co-operative mission, as in the case of humanist and transcendentalist
churches, the former of which subordinates nonconformism to itself and
the
latter of which subordinates fundamentalism to itself in the course of
developing its hegemonic subjectivity.
13. Therefore the somatically free society will be
one in which the individual is more likely to be subsumed into the
collective
and co-operation into competition, making the service of society and,
above
all, those who rule in such a free society the principal ethic, against
which
the individual should be judged.
14. When individuals are subsumed into society
they very often reflect their rejection of individualism by wearing a
uniform. For the uniform is pretty much
the same for everyone in any particular field of service, be it
military,
police, fire, ambulance, hospital nursing, station portering, or what
have you,
and enables those in uniform to distinguish themselves from the
generality of
civilians, as well as to be distinguished by civilians as a serving
and/or
ruling body.
15. In a civil society, it follows that the
generality of civilians will be served by a variety of uniformed
bodies, each
one of which will have put the service of the community, of society,
above the
individual or, more specifically, the particular individualism of its
respective members, and can therefore be depended upon to come to the
service
of either specific individuals or the community at large, depending on
the
nature of the uniformed serving body, as and when circumstances dictate.
16. In a non-civil society, however, such
civilians as still exist or are presumed to exist will always be
vulnerable to
co-option by one or other of the ruling uniformed bodies to serve
society or
the community or, at the topmost level of co-opted service, the nation,
that
sacred cow which, in the perverse and rather limited minds of
state-worshipping
Heathens, becomes equivalent to God, to a sort of ne
plus
ultra of ethical significance which is entitled to demand - and
expect - the
ultimate sacrifice on the part of all those who can be accounted of the
nation,
meaning the people, more usually associated with a common ethnicity or
culture,
who fall within the parameters of the State and its identification with
a given
country.
17. Sometimes a country is divided into two or
more states because of ethnic or ideological or other differences, but
more
usually the country and the state overlap to such an extent that they
become
virtually synonymous and interchangeable as two aspects of the nation. Thus the concept of nation takes on an
overwhelmingly political and even scientific significance in which
country and
state, the boundaries of a given country governed by a specific type of
state,
become the principal mode in which a people is both defined and
evaluated. Outside the nation, a people
have scarcely
any significance.
18. But is this the
doctrine of the Church, of any genuine Church?
No, not at all! The Church, when
free, does not insist upon the Faithful being identical with the
nation-state
concept of the People but sees the People in an altogether different
light, a
light not of this world and its state-obsessed reductionism of people
to
country-based nationality, but standing apart from such a political
evaluation
to one in which all who pertain to it are brothers or sisters in Christ
or the
Messiah or the Second Coming or Whoever it may be Who takes the role of
religious guide and guarantor of godliness.
19. People who are of the Church - and I use the
word in both a Christian and a more-than-Christian sense - are
effectively
beyond the State and its nationalistic evaluation of people as citizens
of this
or that country; for they are committed to God or to godliness in one
way or
another, or at the very least to a reduction of what is ungodly, and
any
godliness which is genuine is universal in scope and therefore beyond
the
parameters of nationalism, as of the nation-state.
20. Godly people may live in a given country -
everyone lives somewhere - but there is no way that they can either
primarily
identify themselves or be primarily identified by others of a
like-persuasion
as nationals, much less nationalists.
Nor, for that matter, are they international, since that is
merely
commerce, on a variety of levels, between the nationals of competing
states. They are rather to be thought of
and to think of themselves as supra-national, meaning above and beyond
the
political confines of the nation-state, for whom states are merely a
means to a
higher end, to a sort of universal church which will have political and
indeed
scientific and even economic support from a type of state which is
bound to the
service of the Church and would better be described as a godly
'Kingdom', a
'Kingdom' in which the welfare of the Church takes precedence over
every other
consideration, including that of state service.
21. Such a church will not be a church in any
traditionally Christian sense, even in relation to the more genuinely
Catholic
manifestation of Christian tradition which hails from Rome but was
never
exclusively Roman, but more akin to a transmutation of the concept
'church' in
line with the transmutation of the concept 'state' until the two meet -
and
blend - in a 'Kingdom' which is so centrist, or concentric, as to be
indistinguishable from the omega point of transcendent universality.
22. The Christian Church, alas, was never airy and
metaphysical enough to achieve such a degree of universality, but
became bogged
down in its own humanistic and sensibly physical limitations, ever
beholden to
an impersonally more respectable and even prevalent Marian
nonconformism in
chemical monism, and falling back, for want of sensible metaphysical
resolve,
on both sensual metaphysics and, worse, sensual metachemistry, the sort
of Old
Testament situation which is commensurate with the concept of God as
First
Mover in cosmic polyversality.
23. No, the Christian Church, for all its good
intentions, was never progressive enough, never religious enough, to
achieve a
metaphysical universality, and therefore it failed to deliver the
People from
the World to the Beyond except in relation to a posthumous afterlife in
the
grave for those - usually male - most deserving of it.
24. In its relationship with the State, the Church
soon became, exceptions to the general rule notwithstanding, a
secondary player
in the game of life, as of history, until, with the coming of
Protestantism and
the upheavals of the Reformation, it ceased to be anything but
subordinate to
state freedom and to the national concept of the People which eclipsed,
in
ever-more heathenistic vein, the supra-national universality of its
Catholic
aspirations.
25. Today, even so-called
Christians think of themselves primarily in nation-state terms and only
secondarily, if at all, as brothers in Christ or sisters in Mary, or
something
of the sort.
Universality bit the dust of secular modernity quite some time
ago, and
nothing but a burgeoning nationalism, coupled to or opposing the
feverish
onslaught of an ever-more pluralistically competitive internationalism,
came to
typify the march of history in Western civilization.
26. The People retreated from paying metaphysical
lip service to air to buying-in to and, in many cases, actually
selling-out to
fire and water, those female elements whose objective bias rules an
ungodly
roost in which both materialism and realism have the secondary elements
or,
rather, somatic freedoms of idealism and naturalism firmly in their
criminal
grip. Had they, or the best among them,
been granted the possibility of sensible metaphysics through
transcendental
meditation, or something of the sort, this might never have happened. For then more than lip service to godliness
and its raison
d'être of heavenliness would have prevailed!
27. But, alas, the Catholic Church was never
interested in godliness as a praxis by the best elements in a people,
but only
in deference to some false and illusory concept of God which dwelt
behind the
skies as the Creator of the so-called Universe, meaning the Cosmos,
with its
fiery polyversality, into which anything potentially or actually divine
was
subsumed, much as the concept of 'universe' became indistinguishable
from the
Cosmos, its fiery antithesis!
28. Thus was God, or the concept thereof, 'done
down' to that which is the opposite of godliness, not least in respect
of the
cosmic First Mover and effective Creator, and the deplorable doctrine
of
'original sin' was invented and used as an excuse to prevent people
from 'doing
their own thing' in relation to religious self-development.
29. In reality, however, there is no 'original
sin'; for the male side of life is characterized on both phenomenal and
noumenal, relative and absolute, levels or manifestations by the
precedence of
soma by psyche, as of sin, or the potential for sin, by grace, as the
Son is
preceded by the Father, or the physical and/or metaphysical not-self,
viz.
brain and/or lungs, by the brain stem and spinal cord of the self,
whether with
an emphasis on the former (physics) or with an emphasis on the latter
(metaphysics), and sin is consequently foreign to males except in
respect of
their subordination to a female hegemony in sensuality, whereupon what
may be
called 'original crime' has its freely somatic way on both noumenal and
phenomenal,
absolute and relative, metachemical and chemical, terms.
30. The Christian Church not only invented the
fanciful notion of 'original sin', but overlooked the actual fact of
original
crime, which is the objective root of everything evil and disposed, in
sensually female vein, to somatic freedom.
Sin is never original but, sensible illusions notwithstanding,
always
derived from a sensual temptation that follows from the upending of
male
priorities in response to a female hegemony the only effect of which is
to
place the emphasis upon soma at the expense of psyche, and thus to
reduce males
to a somatic license which is secondary, in and as sin, to the criminal
freedoms of objective soma reigning above (gender-bender exceptions to
the
general rule notwithstanding).
31. The concept of God as First Mover in the
Cosmos is the original crime that was done against God and religion by
a church
obsessed with human, though particularly male, failings, and unable to
come to
terms with the reality of Truth, which teaches that God is the first
mover in
the universality of the self, with specific reference to the
metaphysical self,
and the grace from which a quasi-graceful transmutation of metaphysical
soma is
sensibly possible, even if such soma remains at bottom illusory and
therefore
sinful from a properly graceful standpoint centred in truth.
32. God the Father precedes God the Son as the
metaphysical brain stem precedes the lungs, and out of the out-breath
of Heaven
the Holy Spirit comes that resolve, on the part of the Father, to
recoil to
self more profoundly in terms of the spinal cord of Heaven the Holy
Soul, which
is the seat of the soul in any ultimate, or metaphysical, sense.
33. Therefore while God the Father is truth, or
truthful, God the Son, in the transmuted illusion of quasi-truth,
becomes the
means whereby inner metaphysical ego can attain to soul, as truth to
joy, via
the will and spirit of the relevant not-selves, the godly not-self of
the lungs
of which one is consciously aware and the heavenly not-self of the
breath from
the transmuted spirituality of which one must recoil in
self-transcending
self-enhancement, as the focus of selfhood shifts from the brain stem
to the
spinal cord, as from ego to soul, and that which is subconsciously
deepest in
life becomes the redemption and resurrection of the conscious self.
34. But God the Father is not to be found in
relation to anything other than the metaphysically conscious aspect of
the male
self which is sensibly committed to the breathing of the lungs as God
the Son -
that secondary order of God which stands apart from and above mere
unconscious
breathing as quasi-grace from sin, or quasi-truth from illusion, in
that such
unconsciousness or, rather, unnaturalness has been infused with
conscious
awareness and become subject to the attentions of the Father, the ego
of the
metaphysical brain stem, no longer wilfully unnatural but quasi-natural
in
partnership with a quasi-subnatural spirituality which follows from the
subversion of spiritual supernaturalness by the subconscious as the
self
recoils to soul in subconsciousness proper and thus achieves its
heavenly joy
in the psychic depths of the spinal cord, no dupe of spiritual hype,
but
returned to self in the most unequivocally self-enhancing vein.
35. For even as truth is transmuted into joy, so
the illusion and woe of the lungs and the breath are transmuted into
quasi-truth and quasi-joy by the prevalence of free psyche in ego and
soul, God
the Father and Heaven the Holy Soul, and partake of that gracefulness
which
lifts them above mere sin in the respective guises of God the Son and
Heaven
the Holy Spirit, the will of which one is consciously aware and the
spirit from
which one subconsciously recoils in outright rejection of
self-annihilation,
thereby subnaturally redeeming what would otherwise be superficially
supernatural in untempered spirituality.
36. The spirit is not and never can be the true
end of life, least of all in religious terms, but a means for the self
to
achieve its redemption in soul, which is the true end of any life
which, in
upper-class male vein, is sensibly metaphysical. A
religion
which is lower-class, or rooted
and/or centred in the masses, is no religion at all but the phenomenal
subversion
of religion along political and/or economic lines, according to whether
chemical or physical criteria are paramount.
Contrariwise, a religion which is upper-class in objectively
female
terms, rooted in the metachemical actuality of original crime, is no
religion
at all, but the noumenal subversion of religion along scientific lines.
37. Whereas worldly religions make a god out of
either man or woman, if not, in greater or lesser ratios, both at once,
what
could be called netherworldly religions make a god out of the Devil,
meaning
the cosmic First Mover on the metachemical plane of stellar
polyversality, this
latter subject, in certain religions of this sort, to monotheistic
tampering or
redefinition, so that polyversal pluralism is infused with a degree of
universal monism contrary to its actual nature, and the cosmic is
treated as
though it were universal - a sure-fire way of subverting any attempt to
develop
universality more genuinely and, needless to say, independently of
cosmic
associations; for it must seem to its devotees that the Cosmos is
universal and
therefore deserving of religious respect in view of the erroneous
association,
on their part, with monism that concepts like monotheism and Universal
Creator
falsely engender.
38. Yet the Cosmos is still, after all delusion
has been sanctified as religion, the source of science, as of the Devil
per
se,
the fiery Mother of stellar primacy, and no amount of subsuming more
genuinely
religious notions into it will alter its fundamental nature, nor bring
religion
one step closer to liberation from scientific delusion and metachemical
objectivity. Only a complete rejection
of all that through otherworldly metaphysics, wherein the universality
of air
is acknowledged as the guarantor of universal oneness for those who
choose or
are able to consciously identify with and utilize it for purposes of
self-enhancement, can bring knowledge of God the Father, and thus
truth, to
light in the individual who devotes himself to transcendental
meditation, turning
him away not only from Devil the Mother in sensual metachemistry, but
from
Antigod the Antifather or, more somatically and pertinently, the
Antison in
sensual metaphysics, the 'fall guy' for diabolic denigration from the
so-called
God 'on high' who is really the literal devil of the piece, whether in
relation
to eyes over ears in implicit New Testament reference to a Risen Mother
(not
Risen Virgin) and a so-called Father (in the paradox of somatic
emphasis really
an Antison) or, anterior to that, in relation to a stellar 'First
Mover' over a
solar 'Fallen Angel' in explicit Old Testament reference to the
distinction
between Jehovah and Satan, not to mention any intermediate, and
possibly more
Nature-based, distinction, implicit to the Old Testament, between King
Saul and
David, the outcast shepherd boy and musician who got to play 'fall guy'
for
diabolic denigration from an 'on high' that, in reality, was anything
but
divine!
39. Religion cannot be true to itself as long as
it is still tied, in fiery pluralism, to the devilish Cosmos, as to the
flounced dress of a mother who rules an ungodly roost from a scientific
basis
in the infinite weakness of metachemical fact, ever open to the most
particle/least wavicle ratio of absolutely free soma.
40. Neither will it be true to itself when still
tied, in watery monism, to womanly Nature, as to the flounced skirt of
a mother
who rules an ungodly roost from a political basis in the finite
weakness of
chemical fact, ever open to the more (relative to most) particle/less
(relative
to least) wavicle ratio of relatively free soma.
41. Nor, across the gender divide, can religion be
true to itself when still tied, in vegetative pluralism, to manly
Nurture, as
to the tapering pants (trousers/jeans) of a father, if catholic and
sensible,
who rules an ungodly roost from an economic basis in the finite
knowledge of
physical truth, ever open to a more (relative to most) wavicle/less
(relative
to least) particle ratio of relatively free psyche.
42. Only when tied, in airy monism, to the godly
Universe or, rather, to godly universality, as to the tapering
zippersuit of a
father who rules a divine roost from a religious basis in the infinite
knowledge of metaphysical truth, ever open to the most wavicle/least
particle ratio
of absolutely free psyche, will religion become true to itself and thus
absolutely genuine, able to proclaim itself free of metachemical,
chemical, and
physical subversion in the interests of metaphysical universality.
43. For such is the
only
basis upon which religion can become truly universal, and thus the same
for
everybody irrespective of their ethnic background.
Only on such a basis, moreover, can the world
attain to cultural universality and thus true unity of purpose and
destiny. Science, politics, and
economics can never bring such a universality to pass, no matter how
much they
may proclaim their credentials for achieving global universality and,
hence,
unification of the world. Such
unification is beyond the scope of their polyversal, impersonal, and
personal
powers and authority. For it demands a
genuinely cultural precondition, and such a precondition can only be
delivered
by religion, provided it is equally genuine and not 'bovaryized' or
subverted
by other concerns, whether scientific, political, or economic.
44. Of course, there have been manifestations of
culture prior to what could be called the culture of genuine religion,
not
least of all in connection with the false or 'bovaryized' religions of
Nurture,
Nature, and the Cosmos, roughly equivalent to physics, chemistry, and
metachemistry, or vegetation (earth), water, and fire, or man, woman,
and the
devil. Culture is as old as humankind
itself, and we can note a development of culture, as of religion, from
fire and
water to vegetation and the borders with its airy apotheosis in the
coming
phase of religious development in the world which, to speak
paradoxically, will
really be beyond the world, in its otherworldly transcendentalism and
universality.
45. As life would seem to devolve from the
metachemical Cosmos to chemical Nature, as from the Devil to Woman, and
to
evolve from physical Nurture to metaphysical Universality, as from Man
to God
(the Cyborg of transcendent futurity), we can note a shift from tribal
culture
to national culture, and from national culture to international
culture, and
from international culture to the coming - and already incipient -
supra-national culture of universal futurity, as though from fire and
water on
the female, and objective, side of the gender fence to vegetation and
air on
its male, and subjective, side, the side not of devolution primarily
but of
evolution, not of centrifugal divergence but of centripetal
convergence, not of
the objective alpha but of the subjective omega of things.
46. In general terms, one could say that tribal
culture, of which the Celtic variety must be adjudged a case in point,
is of
the Devil; national culture, of which the English variety would be a
case in
point, is of Woman; international culture, of which the European
variety has to
be a case in point, is of Man; while supra-national culture, which can
only be
global in its monistic universality, will be of God, as culture passes
through
the elements from fire and water on the side of polyversal and
impersonal
devolution to vegetation and air on the side of personal and universal
evolution, this latter the only manifestation of culture that can be
accounted
genuine and therefore true.
47. All previous modes of culture are either
relatively or absolutely false, for they all fall short of the one
element that
alone guarantees genuine culture - the metaphysical element of air in
its
sensible manifestation, and thus have more to do with appearances,
quantities,
or qualities than with essences, the attribute of soul and, hence, of
genuine
religion. In their concern with doing
through will, or with giving through spirit, or with taking through
ego, they
all fall short of being through soul, which is the cultural
precondition of
essence and thus of genuine religion.
They culturally approach religion from the false perspectives of
doing,
giving, and taking, and consequently their religious ends in
appearances,
quantities, and qualities are proportionately false, since conditioned
by
criteria applicable to either science, politics, or economics, as the
case may
be, rather than by the criterion of religion, which, being essential,
necessitates a beingful culture, which can only be cultivated with the
aid of
the metaphysical element of air, duly transmuted via transcendental
meditation,
which is the element corresponding to essence.
48. By contrast, fire is apparent, water
quantitative, and vegetation qualitative, and whenever any of these
elements is
utilized for religious purposes, the outcome can only be a
metachemical,
chemical, or physical corruption and subversion of religion, broadly
commensurate with fundamentalism, nonconformism, and humanism, in the
interests, needless to say, of science, politics, or economic, as the
case may
be.
49. Now although one can speak of civilization,
since civilization has a lot to do with fixed abodes and fixed routines
embracing a variety of social and individual contracts, in connection
with all
of these disciplines, including science, and although all disciplines
figure to
greater or lesser extents in any given civilization, depending on its
principal
elemental bent, there can be no question that a civilization rooted in
science,
and hence the metachemical subversion of religion through
fundamentalism, will be
comparatively barbarous in its wilful commitment to appearances, as to
power per
se,
while a civilization rooted in politics, and hence the chemical
subversion of
religion through nonconformism, will be comparatively civil in its
spiritual
commitment to quantities, as to glory per se, and a
civilization centred
in economics, and hence the physical subversion of religion through
humanism,
will be comparatively philistine in its egocentric commitment to
qualities, as
to form per se, but that only that civilization which is
centred in
religion, and hence the metaphysical subversion and rejection of
science
through transcendentalism, will be comparatively cultural in its
soulful
commitment to essences, as to contentment per se.
50. For culture has a lot more to do with being
than with doing, giving, or taking, and when not being but doing,
giving, or
taking are chiefly characteristic of a given culture, then that culture
is
either barbarously, civilly, or philistinely false, which is to say,
either
tribal, national, or international rather than supra-national and,
hence, true
- true to the essential universality of the soul.
51. Therefore civilization cannot be said to have
attained to its maximum development or potential until it becomes
primarily
cultural in metaphysical universality - metachemical polyversality,
chemical
impersonality, and physical personality being stages of civilized
development
along the chain of life that leads from polyversal appearances to
universal
essences via impersonal quantities and personal qualities, as, in
cultural
terms, from doing to being via giving and taking, or, more abstractly,
from
will to soul via spirit and ego, as, to revert to religion, from power
to
contentment via glory and form.
52. No less than in the properly
cultural/religious
partnership the being of soul aims at the contentment of essence, so
with that
which is less than fully cultural or religious one must admit that in
the
barbarous/scientific partnership the doing of will aims at the power of
appearance; in the civil/political partnership the giving of spirit
aims at the
glory of quantity; and in the philistine/economic partnership the
taking of ego
aims at the form of quality. All of
these have a part to play in life, but they cannot play an equal part
in any
given civilization. Only one partnership
will be principally characteristic, and everything else will be
subverted by
and subordinated to it.
53. When civilization arrives not merely at its
most devolved level of monism in the nationalism of chemical
impersonality, but
at its most evolved level of monism in the supra-nationalism of
metaphysical
universality, then it will truly have achieved its maximum of
chronological
development and elemental fulfilment as the omega point of
civilization, and everything
tribal, national, and international will cease to be relevant or to
have any
applicability; for then civilization will be truly global in character
- the
product not of a world state but, on the contrary, of a world church
such as
the world has never witnessed before, not even in the catholic
universality of
the middle ages, which was a time when nationalism was the more
characteristic
manifestation of civilization, and civilization was accordingly monist
on
largely chemical and feminine terms, with a largely European and
impersonal
concept and manifestation of universality in consequence.
54. The civilization that I have in mind will be
primarily monist on largely metaphysical and divine terms, as led by
transcendentalism, and embracing transcendental meditation as the
praxis of
divine revelation and heavenly redemption for those who, as males of a
certain
metaphysical stamp, are especially entitled to it.
But it will also, this ultimate civilization,
be pluralist on physical terms, as characterized by a reformed
manifestation of
humanism, as well as monist on chemical terms, as characterized by a
reformed
manifestation of nonconformism, so that there will be vegetative and
watery
options and commitments beneath the airy commitment of what would be
its
principal mode of religious praxis, not to mention, in an
administrative aside
to what in previous texts has been described as the triadic Beyond, to
a
reformed manifestation of fundamentalism that, in its metachemical
pluralism,
will pander to the various modes of religious eternity as a serving
vehicle for
the development, within any given tier of the Beyond in question, of
religious
sovereignty in the event of a majority mandate, democratically
engineered, for
what I have argued, all along, to be both the ultimate sovereignty and
that
which, being beyond worldly sovereignties, is alone commensurate with
'Kingdom
Come', conceived as a society in which the emphasis is firmly placed
upon
psychic self-development for males and somatic notself-curtailment for
females,
so that each gender acts according to its evolutionary/devolutionary
differences and not as though, in wishy-washy liberal fashion, they
were equal,
or the same.
55. Thus society comes, at length, to reflect an
emphasis upon evolution at the expense of devolution, not, as at
present,
devolution at the expense of evolution, and civilization can thus be
said to
have attained to its sensible culmination in an omega-oriented
universality.
56. Of course, the distinction between devolution
and evolution, whether according to gender or in overall historical and
chronological terms, is not such that one can categorically envisage
progress
from the one to the other, since evolutionary progress for males
entails what
could be called counter-devolutionary regress for females, while
devolutionary
progress for females entails counter-evolutionary regress for males,
the
genders being opposite in terms of their respective relationships to
soma and
psyche, females being creatures for whom soma precedes psyche and
predominates
over it in either absolute (metachemical) or relative (chemical) terms,
males
being creatures, by contrast, for whom psyche precedes soma and
predominates
over it in either relative (physical) or absolute (metaphysical) terms,
so that
in the one case devolution is primary and evolution secondary, whereas
in the
other case - that of males - evolution is primary and devolution
secondary.
57. Therefore when females are free to be
somatically devolutionary in sensuality, males will be
counter-evolutionary in
bound psyche and only secondarily devolutionary in free soma, the free
soma
(gender-bender exceptions to the rule notwithstanding) not of
metachemistry or
chemistry, as with females of an upper- or a lower-class disposition,
but of
metaphysics or physics, those subjective elements which can only be
subordinate
to their objective counterparts in sensuality, as in terms of
sequential time
to spatial space and of massive mass to volumetric volume.
58. Contrariwise, when males are free to be
psychically
evolutionary in sensibility, then females will be counter-devolutionary
in
bound soma and only secondarily evolutionary in free psyche, the free
psyche
(gender-bender exceptions to the rule notwithstanding) not of physics
and
metaphysics, as with males of a lower- or an upper-class disposition,
but of
chemistry and metachemistry, those objective elements which can only be
subordinate to their subjective counterparts in sensibility, as in
terms of
massed mass to voluminous volume and repetitive time to spaced space.
59. Thus arise the respective class paradoxes of
antigods and antimen under devils and women in sensuality, but of
antiwomen and
antidevils under men and gods in sensibility, as sinfulness stands in
the shadow
of crime in the one case, but punishment in the shadow of grace in the
other,
the case not of devolution in primary and secondary terms but of
evolution in
primary and secondary terms, both of which are blessed (with psychic
freedom)
compared with or, rather, contrasted to the cursedness (in somatic
freedom) of
their devolutionary counterparts.
60. The gender paradox, however, is that
counter-evolutionary psychic binding in the case of damned males gets
subordinated to secondary devolutionary somatic freedom under the
hegemonic
pressures of primary devolutionary somatic freedom on the part of
damned or,
rather, cursed females, so that a devolutionary emphasis becomes the
cursed
reality of somatic freedom irrespective of whether it is criminal or
sinful,
primary or secondary.
61. Contrariwise, counter-devolutionary somatic
binding in the case of saved females gets subordinated to secondary
evolutionary psychic freedom under the hegemonic pressures of primary
evolutionary psychic freedom on the part of saved or, rather, blessed
males, so
that an evolutionary emphasis becomes the blessed reality of psychic
freedom
irrespective of whether it is graceful or punishing, primary or
secondary.
62. Of course, the overall gender reality of soma
preceding, and predominating over, psyche in the case of females and of
psyche
preceding, and predominating over, soma in the case of males remains
the case
for either sex, irrespective of whether the secondary free emphasis
happens to
fall on psyche for females in sensibility or on soma for males in
sensuality,
so that females will tend to direct their secondary evolutionary
freedom
towards the curtailment of soma in counter-devolutionary vein, while
males, by
contrast, will tend to direct their secondary devolutionary freedom
towards the
curtailment of psyche in counter-evolutionary vein, each sex shadowing
the
other but still operating, to all intents and purposes, in relation to
the
underlying gender reality which makes psyche more important for males
and soma
more important for females, irrespective of whether the approach is
free or
bound, straight or paradoxical.
63. For if it is one thing to advocate and
actually embrace will and/or spirit in primary devolutionary vein, it
is quite
another to turn against soul and/or ego in counter-evolutionary vein,
and all
because one is not capable, as a male, of emphasizing will and/or
spirit to
anything like the same extent or in the same way as females, with
secondary
devolutionary implications.
64. Conversely, if it is one thing to advocate and
actually embrace ego and/or soul in primary evolutionary vein, it is
quite
another to turn against will and/or spirit in counter-devolutionary
vein, and
all because one is not capable, as a female, of emphasizing ego and/or
soul to
anything like the same extent or in the same way as males, with
secondary
evolutionary implications.
65. Thus the genders revert to a
devolutionary/counter-evolutionary dichotomy in the contexts of
sensuality and
to an evolutionary/counter-devolutionary dichotomy in the contexts of
sensibility, no matter how much females might prefer to believe in a
devolutionary uniformity in the one case and males in an evolutionary
uniformity in the other case. Life is
never that simple, and the basic distinction between soma preceding
psyche in
females and psyche preceding soma in males remains unaffected by swings
in
civilization or society or the individual between sensuality and
sensibility,
with contrary gender hegemonies.
66. Therefore females will persist in
counter-devolutionary
goodness even in the most gracefully evolutionary of male-hegemonic
societies,
their capacity for evolution being merely punishing in its secondary
standing,
while males, by contrast, will persist in counter-evolutionary folly
even in the
most criminally devolutionary of female-hegemonic societies, their
capacity for
devolution being merely sinful in its secondary standing.
67. For females remain
primarily somatic and males primarily psychic whatever the situation,
and folly
is as much in the quasi-devolutionary shadow of evil in relation to
bound
psyche as punishment is in the quasi-evolutionary shadow of wisdom in
relation
to bound soma.
68. Consequently evil is the psychic accomplice of
crime, but before there can be evil there must first be a will to
and/or
spiritual capacity for crime in respect of free soma, which conditions
psyche
according to its instinctively unnatural and/or spiritually
supernatural
bias. For in sensual metachemistry and
chemistry, the objective elements of a somatic predominance, soma
precedes
psyche and directly conditions it, independently of male anti-somatic
pressures, accordingly.
69. Correlatively, sin is the somatic accomplice
of folly, but before there can be sin there must first be an emotional
capacity
for and/or mind to folly in respect of bound psyche, which conditions
soma
according to its psycho-eccentric (id-inspired) and/or ego-eccentric
(superego-inspired) bias. For in sensual
metaphysics and physics, the subjective elements of a psychic
predominance,
psyche precedes soma and indirectly conditions it, via female
anti-psychic
pressures, accordingly.
70. Conversely, wisdom is the somatic accomplice
of grace, but before there can be wisdom there must first be a mind to
and/or
emotional capacity for grace in respect of free psyche, which
conditions soma
according to its egocentric and/or psychocentric (soulful) bias. For in sensible physics and metaphysics, the
subjective elements of a psychic predominance, psyche precedes soma and
directly conditions it, independently of female anti-psychic pressures,
accordingly.
71. Correlatively, punishment is the psychic
accomplice of goodness, but before there can be punishment there must
first be
a will to and/or spiritual capacity for goodness in respect of bound
soma,
which conditions psyche according to its naturally instinctual
(ego-inspired)
and/or subnaturally spiritual (soul-inspired) bias.
For in sensible chemistry and metachemistry,
the objective elements of a somatic predominance, soma precedes psyche
and
indirectly conditions it, via male anti-somatic pressures, accordingly.
72. Thus without coming under the sway of bound
psyche directly stemming from free soma in sensually hegemonic females,
males would
be unlikely to devolve to free soma in secondary, or sinful, vein, but
would
more than likely remain psychically free, after their sensibly graceful
fashions.
73. Conversely, without coming under the sway of
bound soma directly stemming from free psyche in sensibly hegemonic
males,
females would be unlikely to evolve to free psyche in secondary, or
punishing,
vein, but would more than likely remain somatically free, after their
sensually
criminal fashions.
74. The criminal freedom of primary cursedness
must be contrasted with the evil binding of primary damnation in
sensually
hegemonic metachemical and chemical females, whereas the foolish
binding of
secondary damnation must be contrasted with the sinful freedom of
secondary
cursedness in sensually subordinate (to hegemonic females) metaphysical
and
physical males.
75. Conversely, the graceful freedom of primary
blessedness must be contrasted with the wise binding of primary
salvation in
sensibly hegemonic physical and metaphysical males, whereas the good
binding of
secondary salvation must be contrasted with the punishing freedom of
secondary
blessedness in sensibly subordinate (to hegemonic males) chemical and
metachemical females.
76. Somatic freedom is always cursed and psychic
binding damned in sensuality, whereas psychic freedom is always blessed
and
somatic binding saved in sensibility.
77. Therefore crime and sin are cursed on primary
and secondary terms, while evil and folly are damned on primary and
secondary
terms. For crime and
sin are of free soma, whereas evil and folly are of bound psyche.
78. Conversely, grace and punishment are blessed
on primary and secondary terms, while wisdom and goodness are saved on
primary
and secondary terms. For
grace
and
punishment are of free psyche, whereas wisdom and goodness are of
bound soma.
79. As much difference between crime and sin in
relation to primary and secondary orders of free soma ... as between
grace and
punishment in relation to primary and secondary orders of free psyche.
80. As much difference between evil and folly in
relation to primary and secondary orders of bound psyche ... as between
wisdom
and goodness in relation to primary and secondary orders of bound soma.
81. In sensuality, the
somatic freedoms of crime and sin take precedence over the psychic
bindings of
evil and folly, as cursedness takes precedence over damnation.
82. In sensibility, the
psychic freedoms of grace and punishment take precedence over the
somatic
bindings of wisdom and goodness, as blessedness takes precedence over
salvation.
83. Thus does a broadly devolutionary reality
germane to free soma contrast with its evolutionary antithesis in free
psyche,
even when the gender reality of each situation is such that the
sinfulness of
secondary devolution for males can only be sustained at the foolish
cost of
counter-evolutionary pressures, while the punishment of secondary
evolution for
females can only be sustained at the goodly cost of
counter-devolutionary
pressures.
84. Constrained to the goodness of bound soma by
the somatic wisdom issuing from the free psyche of graceful males,
females can
only punish crime and thus reject evil.
85. Constrained to the folly of bound psyche by
the psychic evil issuing from the free soma of criminal females, males
can only
indulge in sin and thus reject grace.
86. In males, it takes
a
diagonal rise from the sinfulness of free soma to the gracefulness of
free
psyche to undo the folly of bound psyche and make possible the wisdom
of bound
soma.
87. In females, by
contrast, it takes a diagonal fall from the evil of bound psyche to the
goodness of bound soma to undo the criminality of free soma and make
possible
the punishment of free psyche.
88. Without male initiative in respect of a
deliverance from secondary cursed freedom to primary blessed freedom,
there is
not much prospect of females being delivered from primary damned
binding to
secondary saved binding; for unless males are in a position to directly
establish primary saved binding at the expense of secondary damned
binding,
females are unlikely to indirectly uphold secondary blessed freedom at
the
expense of primary cursed freedom.
89. Females will generally prefer the primary
cursed and damned positions of metachemical and chemical sensuality to
the
secondary saved and blessed positions of chemical and metachemical
sensibility;
for in the former cases, on either of the class or elemental bases,
they are
hegemonic over males and effectively 'top dogs', whereas in the latter
cases
they are subordinate to males and effectively 'underdogs'.
90. Males will generally prefer the primary
blessed and saved positions of physical and metaphysical sensibility to
the
secondary damned and cursed positions of metaphysical and physical
sensuality;
for in the former cases, on either of the class or elemental bases,
they are
hegemonic over females and effectively 'top dogs', whereas in the
latter cases
they are subordinate to females and effectively 'underdogs'.
91. Quite apart from the fact that, hailing from a
particle-predominant vacuum in the precedence of psyche by soma,
females are
more negative by nature than positive by nurture, or from the fact or,
rather,
truth that, hailing from a wavicle-predominant plenum in the precedence
of soma
by psyche, males are more positive by nurture than negative by nature,
the
genders will tend to prefer being 'top dogs' in their respective
approaches to
primacy than 'underdogs' in secondary vein.
92. In other words, while one can rationally
expect males to prefer being blessed with and saved to the positivity
of
hegemonic sensibility in physics and/or metaphysics, one cannot take it
for
granted that females will prefer being saved to and blessed with the
positivity
of subordinate sensibility in chemistry and/or metachemistry; for
females are
not geared to positivity in the same way or to the same extent as males
but, as
creatures for whom soma both precedes and predominates over psyche, are
more
attuned to negativity and thus to a hegemonic sensuality in which, with
empirical
disregard for reason or rationality, they are 'top dogs' and able to be
free
after their somatic natures.
93. Ultimately you cannot reason females into
being good or punishing in secondary saved and blessed vein, for they
will only
be that - and then begrudgingly - so long as there is sufficient male
resolve
in the gracefulness and wisdom of blessed and saved primacy to impose
such a
subordination upon them. By nature, they
are unreasoning adherents, in psychic binding, of somatic freedom and
therefore
ill-disposed to any diminution of their power and/or glory to suit the
psychic
advantages, in enhanced form and/or contentment, of males.
94. From a male
standpoint, nature is the enemy which must always be vanquished if
nurture is
to triumph. From a female standpoint, on
the other hand, nurture is the enemy which must always be vanquished if
nature
is to triumph. Either psyche gets the
better of soma or vice versa. But if soma
gets the better of psyche, then the consequences for civilization will
be a
diminution of culture and civility, of evolutionary and
counter-devolutionary
realities, according to gender, and a growth of barbarity and
philistinism, of
devolutionary and counter-evolutionary realities, to the detriment of
psychic
well-being in virtuous positivity.
95. Instead of encouraging philosophy and fiction
and discouraging drama and poetry, a society in the grip of free soma
and bound
psyche will tend to encourage drama and poetry and to discourage
philosophy and
fiction; for will and/or spirit will mean more to it than ego and/or
soul, and
instead of taking a positive attitude to ego and/or soul it will tend
to
belittle and undermine them from the negative standpoint of free soma
in which,
as with genuine drama, whether non-synthetically artificial or
synthetically
artificial in typically modern (cinematic) vein, power and/or glory
will ride
roughshod over any form and/or contentment which is not either evil
(female) or
foolish (male).
96. But where, by contrast, form and/or
contentment is either graceful (male) or punishing (female), then power
and
glory will be constrained to wisdom (male) and goodness (female), and
nothing
demonstrably sinful or criminal be encouraged.
For then it will be philosophy and fiction that rule a sensible
roost, whether
on upper- or lower-class terms, and anything approximating to genuine
drama or
poetry be considered sensually irrelevant to the civilized ideals.
97. But what is upheld in theory does not
necessarily transpire in practice; for females will be no less opposed,
low
down in their predominantly somatic natures, to the fictional insanity
of
narrative prose vis-à-vis the truthful sanity of philosophy ... than
males will
be opposed, high up in their predominantly psychic natures or, rather,
nurtures, to the illusory insanity of poetry vis-à-vis the factual
sanity of
drama. Neither gender can ever be
content with a situation in which, due to hegemonic pressures from the
opposite
gender, they are obliged to be at cross-purposes with themselves -
males emphasizing
soma at the expense of psyche in the illusory insanity of a sinful fall
from
grace in either metaphysical or physical sensuality, females
emphasizing psyche
at the expense of soma in the fictional insanity of a punishing rise
from
criminality in either chemical or metachemical sensibility.
98. The 'gender war', or tug-of-war, persists even
when society achieves some kind of mean on either a sensual or a
sensible basis
and regards anything contrary as an exception to the general rule, and
largely
because no society, not even these days, is ever entirely one thing or
the
other.
99. But freedom for either gender is what is most
worth fighting for, whether in terms of the factual sanity of free soma
for females
in metachemical and/or chemical sensuality or in terms of the truthful
sanity
of free psyche for males in physical and/or metaphysical sensibility. Freedom is more significant than binding,
because it corresponds to those situations in which each gender is most
true or
loyal to its prevailing gender reality, be it the somatic predominance
which
follows from the precedence of psyche by soma in the cases of upper-
and
lower-class females, wherein freedom is criminal and therefore
somatically
factual, or the psychic predominance which follows from the precedence
of soma
by psyche in the cases of lower- and upper-class males, wherein freedom
is
graceful and therefore psychically truthful.
100. Hence the cry of all peoples for
freedom,
even though freedom does not come in a single guise or mode but is
primarily
divisible between fact and truth, objective soma and subjective psyche,
female
and male actualities, with corresponding sensual/sensible distinctions
between
cursedness and blessedness, criminality and gracefulness, not to
mention vice
and virtue on primary terms.
101. For the secondary terms of vice and
virtue,
as of cursedness and blessedness, involve not criminality and
gracefulness but,
as we have seen, sinfulness and punishingness, and therefore a male
rejection
of grace on the one hand and a female rejection of crime on the other,
the hand
of a secondary order of psychic freedom compared to the blessed primacy
for
males of grace in hegemonic sensibility.
102. However that may be, freedom is anything
but
secondary, overall, to binding, but that which requires binding if it
is to
have its way, whether in terms of psyche to soma in the case of
sensually
hegemonic females, or of soma to psyche in the case of sensibly
hegemonic
males, with correlative bindings for the opposite gender whose
subordination to
the prevailing freedom will require the paradoxical insanities, from
their
respective gender standpoints, of an illusory commitment to free soma
in the
case of males and of a fictional commitment to free psyche in the case
of
females, neither gender being able to escape the underlying reality,
however,
of their basic or fundamental structure, which makes for a yearning for
free
psyche on the part of psychically bound males and a yearning for free
soma on
the part of somatically bound females.
103. Such a yearning may, if the system is
too
watertight to permit of outright rebellion, express itself indirectly
through a
censorious or cynical fixation on ego and/or soul on the part of
psychically bound
males who are unable or unwilling to advocate or indulge spirit and/or
will as
paradoxically as before, while their female counterparts in the somatic
binding
of sensibility may be drawn to a censorious or cynical fixation on will
and/or
spirit in the face of a gender reluctance to advocate or indulge ego
and/or
soul as paradoxically as may previously have been the case.
104. Growing disillusioned with the secondary
instinctual or spiritual freedoms of sin, sensual males turn to a
negative
exploration of soul and/or ego which may well lead towards a sensible
rejection
of folly in the name of grace in due course, while sensible females,
growing
disillusioned with the secondary intellectual or emotional freedoms of
punishment, turn critically towards a negative exploration of will
and/or
spirit which may well lead towards a sensual rejection of goodness in
the name
of crime in due course, negative psyche turning in salvation towards
positive
psyche in the one case, positive soma turning in damnation towards
negative
soma in the other case, with predictably subversive consequences for
either
system should each gender choose the path of revolt which leads from
insane
binding to sane freedom, as from secondary damnation or salvation to
primary
blessedness or cursedness, as the sensual/sensible case may be.
105. However, such insane bindings of males
to
soma in sensuality and of females to psyche in sensibility, with
secondary
damned and saved consequences, have their sane, or quasi-sane,
counterparts in
the direct binding of metachemical and/or chemical psyche to free soma
in the
case of females, and of physical and/or metaphysical soma to free
psyche in the
case of males, since where each gender is free to be loyal to itself,
its own
gender reality or structure, it will not be inconvenienced by binding;
for such
binding will follow directly from the nature or nurture of the gender
concerned, making for a quasi-criminal acquiescence in the
predominating
reality of free soma on the part of females, whose bound psyche will be
evil,
and for a quasi-graceful acquiescence in the predominating reality of
free
psyche on the part of males, whose bound soma can only be wise.
106. Therefore binding can be sane as well as
insane, depending on the context, and so, too, can freedom be sane or
insane,
again depending on whether it corresponds to the prevailing gender
reality -
soma preceding psyche and predominating over it on the part of females,
psyche
preceding soma and predominating over it on the part of males - or, as
in the
case of the subordinate sex to each hegemonic gender, goes against the
grain,
as it were, of that basic reality, males insanely free in relation to
soma in
sensuality, females insanely free in relation to psyche in sensibility,
freedom
and binding holding together either sanely in the hegemonic contexts of
each
gender or insanely when either gender is in a subordinate position -
males in
sensuality, females in sensibility.
107. Therefore the prospects of establishing
and
maintaining a totally sane society can only be pretty slim in a world
where,
barring an amoral and virtually androgynous compromise between sensual
and
sensible options, the freedoms of fact and truth coupled to the
bindings of
illusion and fiction, one gender must triumph hegemonically over the
other if
both societal stability and ideological consistency is to be achieved.
108. Either factual sanity must triumph, in
somatic objectivity, at the expense of illusory insanity, its
subjective
counterpart, or truthful sanity must triumph, in psychic subjectivity,
at the
expense of fictional insanity, its objective counterpart.
Either empiricism must be the scientific
and/or political order of the day, or rationalism must be the economic
and/or
religious order of the day. For you
cannot lend equal credence to both, nor expect either one to
substantially
survive unscathed in contexts where one or the other of the contenders
for
freedom is institutionally hegemonic and the subordinate gender, be it
male or
female, is accordingly obliged to modify its approach to subjectivity
or
objectivity, as the case may be, in relation to the prevailing ideal,
be it
factual in the case of societies based in the somatic freedom of
original crime
or truthful in the case of societies based or, rather, centred in the
psychic
freedom of original grace.
109. Societies tend to be either matriarchal
or
patriarchal, of the Mother as somatic First Mover or of the Father as
psychic
First Mover, with consequences for either vice or virtue, crime or
grace,
cursedness or blessedness, negativity or positivity, as the case may be. For you cannot have a system, and therefore
society, in which freedom is factual one moment and truthful the next,
the
conditions for each requiring the exclusion, to all intents and
purposes, of
the other and the subordination of the vanquished gender to either an
illusory
acquiescence in a factual hegemony, as in the case of somatically free
societies, or a fictional acquiescence in a truthful hegemony, as in
the case
of psychically free societies, the former matriarchal and the latter
patriarchal.
110. Since the distinction is between vice
and
virtue in relation to freedom, to an active engagement with somatic
freedom,
whether primarily for females or secondarily for males, on the one
hand, and
for a corresponding engagement with psychic freedom, whether primarily
for
males or secondarily for females on the other hand, it makes a lot of
difference as to whether a society is classifiable as broadly
matriarchal or
broadly patriarchal, all the difference, in short, between the criminal
and
sinful freedoms of soma, and the graceful and punishing freedoms of
psyche.
111. Of course, we could speak of the
somatically
free society as immoral and its psychically free counterpart as moral,
but that
would, I believe, be to emphasize binding at the expense of freedom,
since it
seems to me that while vice and immorality are correlative on the one
hand, and
virtue and morality correlative on the other, they are really as
distinct as
freedom and binding, since whereas freedom is active in its hegemonic
engagement of either soma in sensuality or psyche in sensibility,
binding is
passive and, indeed, the passive complement to whatever freedom happens
to be
hegemonically prevalent in any given society, so that we can
distinguish the
active nature or nurture, depending on the gender context, of vice and
virtue
from the passive nurture or nature, again depending on the gender
context, of
immorality and morality.
112. Therefore we can distinguish the primary
vicious nature, in sensuality, of the objective somatic freedom of
crime,
whether absolute or relative, metachemical or chemical, from the
primary
immoral nature or, rather, nurture of the objective psychic binding to
evil of
females, and the secondary vicious nature of the subjective somatic
freedom of
sin, whether absolute or relative, metaphysical or physical, from the
secondary
immoral nurture of the subjective psychic binding to folly of males.
113. Contrariwise, we should distinguish, in
sensibility,
the primary virtuous nurture of the subjective psychic freedom of
grace,
whether relative or absolute, physical or metaphysical, from the
primary moral
nature of the subjective somatic binding to wisdom of males, and the
secondary
virtuous nurture of the objective psychic freedom of punishment,
whether
relative or absolute, chemical or metachemical, from the secondary
moral nature
of the objective somatic binding to goodness of females.
114. Nothing is ever that simple or
straightforward in life, and the distinction between the active nature
or
nurture, depending on the context, of freedom in vice or virtue and the
passive
nurture or nature of binding in immorality or morality is sufficiently
illustrative, I think, of the complexities, on both a class and an
elemental
basis, not to mention in respect of both primary and secondary
manifestations
of each, that a thoroughgoing investigation of freedom and binding
bring to
light, notwithstanding the paradoxical pressures for each subordinate
gender in
the sensual/sensible alternative types of society that an emphasis upon
either
soma (males) or psyche (females) tend to create, with consequences that
have
been described in terms of illusory insanity in the case of sinful
males and
fictional insanity in the case of punishing females, neither of which
can be
wholly satisfactory to the gender concerned and both of which will
consequently
invite, and even result in, a revolt aimed at either truthful sanity in
the
case of males or factual sanity in the case of females, with
contradictory
consequences.
115. But if metachemical crime is absolutely
vicious and metachemical evil absolutely immoral, the former
somatically free
and the latter psychically bound, both alike are germane to the factual
sanity
of materialist clearness, to which the illusory insanity of idealist
unholiness
defers through the secondary vice and immorality of metaphysical sin
and folly,
the former somatically free and the latter psychically bound on a
no-less
absolute basis.
116. Similarly, if chemical crime is
relatively
vicious and chemical evil relatively immoral, the former somatically
free and
the latter psychically bound, both alike are germane to the factual
sanity of
realist clearness, to which the illusory insanity of naturalist
unholiness
defers through the secondary vice and immorality of physical sin and
folly, the
former somatically free and the latter psychically bound on a no-less
relative
basis.
117. Contrariwise, if physical grace is
relatively
virtuous and physical wisdom relatively moral, the former psychically
free and
the latter somatically bound, both alike are germane to the truthful
sanity of
humanist holiness, to which the fictional insanity of nonconformist
unclearness
defers through the secondary virtue and morality of chemical punishment
and
goodness, the former psychically free and the latter somatically bound
on a
no-less relative basis.
118. Likewise, if metaphysical grace is
absolutely
virtuous and metaphysical wisdom absolutely moral, the former
psychically free
and the latter somatically bound, both alike are germane to the
truthful sanity
of transcendentalist holiness, to which the fictional insanity of
fundamentalist unclearness defers through the secondary virtue and
morality of
metachemical punishment and goodness, the former psychically free and
the
latter somatically bound on a no-less absolute basis.
119. That which defers, in illusory insanity,
to
factual sanity, as idealist and/or naturalist unholiness to materialist
and/or
realist clearness, does so from the sin and folly of a secondary
cursedness and
damnation which are under the hegemonic control of the crime and evil
of a
primary cursedness and damnation, like male collectivity under female
competitiveness on either of the aforementioned class and/or elemental
bases.
120. That which defers, in fictional
insanity, to
truthful sanity, as nonconformist and/or fundamentalist unclearness to
humanist
and/or transcendentalist holiness, does so from the punishment and
goodness of
a secondary blessedness and salvation which are under the hegemonic
control of
the grace and wisdom of a primary blessedness and salvation, like
female
cooperativeness with male individuality on either of the aforementioned
class
and/or elemental bases.
121. Whereas collectivity defers to the
sensual
competitiveness of hegemonic females from a subordinate male position,
cooperativeness defers to the sensible individuality of hegemonic males
from a
subordinate female position. Both are
insane
in their contrary ways, since it is neither in the nurture of males to
defer to
female competitiveness from a somatic standpoint nor in the nature of
females
to defer to male individuality from a psychic standpoint.
Each sex does so only under duress of
contrary pressures from above, and therefore they remain at loggerheads
with
their respective interests in truthful sanity or factual sanity, male
holiness
or female clearness.
122. Nevertheless since it is inevitable that
one
gender must be sane and the other insane if civilization is to achieve
a stable
and consistent basis in either vice coupled to immorality or virtue
coupled to
morality, we cannot reasonably expect both genders to be equally sane
or,
worse, equally insane. Either males must succumb to illusory insanity under
pressure of
factual sanity, like unoriginal sin under the hegemonic rule of
original crime,
or females must succumb to fictional insanity under pressure of
truthful
sanity, like unoriginal punishment under original grace.
123. You cannot have it both ways in official
practice, even if, unofficially, exceptions to the general rule will
persist in
existing, like Protestants in a predominantly Catholic society or
Catholics in
a predominantly Protestant society, or, in secular terms, Socialists in
a
predominantly Conservative society or Conservatives in a predominantly
Socialist society, both of which may overlap with Liberals proper or
constitute, in their mutually antipathetic tolerance, a loose
definition of
Liberalism such that confirms worldly phenomenality.
124. Whatever the case, societies tend to
divide
into those in which individuals collectively serve the competitive
rule, like
bound psyche acquiescing in free soma, or those in which individuals
co-operatively defer to the individualistic lead, like bound soma
acquiescing
in free psyche, the former manifestly given, in British
Protestant/Parliamentary fashion, to a bound church and a free state,
the
latter just as obviously given, in Irish Republican/Catholic vein, to a
bound
state and a free church.
125. For whether the individual serves
society or,
conversely, society serves the individual comes down, inevitably, to
the nature
of society and the nurture of the individuals which constitute it,
society
dominating the individual when nature is hegemonic in free soma, the
individual
dominating society when nurture is hegemonic in free psyche, all the
difference
between the vices of state freedom on the one hand and the virtues of
church
freedom on the other, as, in secondary terms, between the immoralities
of church
binding in the one case and the moralities of state binding in the
other.
126. For although freedom is more important
than
binding, as the active is more significant than the passive, whether in
negative
or positive, somatic or psychic, terms, there can be no freedom without
binding, no cursedness without damnation, no blessedness without
salvation, no
factual sanity without illusory insanity, no truthful sanity without
fictional
insanity, no crime and/or sin without evil and/or folly, no grace
and/or
punishment without wisdom and/or goodness, no vice without immorality,
no
virtue without morality, and therefore no free soma without bound
psyche, no
free psyche without bound soma.
127. Since free soma depends upon the
existence of
bound psyche, as state freedom upon church binding, there can be no
possibility
of free psyche being encouraged in a society given to such cursed
freedom, and
therefore very little in such a female-oriented and fundamentally
vicious
society to commend itself to male self-respect.
128. Contrariwise, since free psyche depends
upon
the existence of bound soma, as church freedom upon state binding,
there can be
no possibility of free soma being encouraged in a society given to such
blessed
freedom, and therefore very little in such a male-oriented and
essentially
virtuous society to commend itself to female self-disrespect or, more
directly,
notself-respect.
129. Either females triumph over males, as
drama
over poetry, or males triumph over females, as philosophy over fiction. Anyone who thinks you can have it both ways
is a self-deceiving hypocrite and philosophical ignoramus!
For the distinction between factual sanity
and truthful sanity, free soma and free psyche, is not such that lends
itself
to mutual compromise, least of all in relation to the upper-class
planes of the
Devil/Hell and God/Heaven, wherein the distinction is more absolute ...
as
between ugliness and hate on the one hand, and truth and joy on the
other.
130. Males who do not want a society in which
blessedness and salvation are the orders of freedom and binding are
simply
sinful fools who are deserving of the contempt of their gender for
having
subordinated themselves to crime and evil and, in the worst cases,
actually
sold out to crime and evil by effectively becoming female in
competitive
exploitation of the collective. The
former may be entitled to pity if they would wish for deliverance but
are
unable to achieve it, but the latter can only expect male disdain for
having
betrayed their gender and sought to competitively cash-in on the
monstrous
vices and immoralities of criminal freedom and evil binding in patently
female
vein.
131. For no
self-respecting male could ever wish to live in a society dominated by
females
and bereft, in consequence, of moral virtue.
His wish, as ever, is that such a society should be consigned to
the
rubbish heap of criminal/evil history and left to rot as a sad
testimony to
what happens to males when they fail or are unable to take
responsibility for
their gender reality as creatures for whom psyche both precedes and
predominates over soma, making for a concept of freedom and binding
that owes
more to blessed grace and saved wisdom than to cursed sin and damned
foolishness,
so that they adhere, on whatever class basis, to the free church and
the bound
state rather than to the free state and the bound church, both cursed
sin and
damned foolishness being no less secondary compared to the primary
cursedness
and damnation in crime and evil of their female counterparts than
blessed grace
and saved wisdom are primary compared to the secondary blessedness and
salvation in punishment and goodness of their
female
counterparts in what has been described as fictional insanity, the
fictional
insanity that defers, on whatever class basis, to truthful sanity, as
to the
lead of life by psychic positivity.
132. A life in which psychic positivity is
strangled and undermined by somatic negativity in criminally vicious
vein ...
is really no life at all but a sort of living death in which all that
is dark
and underhand is permitted to proliferate at the expense of that which
makes
life worth living - namely the graceful virtues of knowledge and truth
coupled
to their virtuously punishing counterparts in strength and beauty, with
corresponding emotional attributes of pleasure and joy, love and pride.
133. A life without virtue in either holiness
for
males or unclearness for females is a cursed life, and such cursedness
permeates and, indeed, typifies modern civilization wherever freedom is
conceived and/or perceived in terms of soma, with predictably negative
consequences! In such a civilization,
necessarily dominated by barbarity and encouraging philistinism in its
under-plane victims, society gets the better of the individual; for the
individual is subsumed into the collective in such a manner that,
whether
phenomenal or noumenal, relativistic or absolutist, lower-class or
upper-class,
of the Many or of the Few, he becomes the passive spectator and active
plaything of people who are passive only before the criminal
viciousness of
their competitive freedoms, evilly acquiescent in the most blatant
disregard
for human or divine self-respect of which it is possible to conceive.
134. Such a society fails every test of
decency,
both free and bound, and it is because it is the enemy of life as it
should and
could be lived that contemporary
civilization stands accused before the tribunal of divine judgement as
something which must be democratically rejected by the People if they
are to be
delivered, on both blessed and saved, free and bound, terms from its
crimes and
sins, not to mention evils and follies, to the graces and punishments,
not to
mention wisdoms and goodnesses, of the civilization to come, the
civilization
of 'Kingdom Come' which, through religious sovereignty, will be the
life-enhancing opposite and rejection, in culture and civility, of
everything
which contemporary civilization takes so viciously and immorally for
granted.
135. This coming civilization will, indeed,
be
free in the best possible way, with an evolutionary resolve which will
take
life, if not necessarily mankind, all the way to the omega point of
definitive
culture in the service of the highest religion, a religion in which
soma is
bound and psyche absolutely free in a way and to an extent which can
only leave
Roman Catholicism firmly in the wake of its Social Transcendentalist
commitment
to a universality which, being more than chemically monist, will be
completely
independent of everything cosmic, as its sensibly metaphysical fulcrum
allows
what is truly germane to God the Father, the conscious manifestation of
the
metaphysical self, to have its gracefully virtuous way, the way,
through
transcendental meditation, of a psychocentric transmutation of the
metaphysical
self in and as Heaven the Holy Soul, the essence of Whose contentment
is the
beingful supremacy of eternal joy.
