PART TWO:
MAXIMS
*
1. Life is a process of evolution from the
Diabolic Alpha to the Divine Omega, as from the Devil to God.
2. Nature is the enemy of civilization, but,
like all enemies, it can be vanquished.
3. The stars are many,
the Holy Spirit is one.
4. Women signify appearance
over essence, men, by contrast, essence over appearance.
5. Art progresses from illusion to truth, from
fiction to fact.
6. Human life embraces three principal class
stages, viz. an aristocratic, a bourgeois, and a proletarian, and progresses
from the first to the third, as from rural and suburban to urban environments.
7. The more we isolate
ourselves from nature, the more civilized we become.
8. There are three stages
of religious evolution, viz. a pagan, a Christian, and a transcendental, which
roughly correspond to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
9. Political evolution also
passes through three stages, viz. a royalist, a liberal pluralist, and a
socialist.
10. The state can be the
master of the people or their servant, depending on the stage of its
evolution. In the one case it is
royalist, in the other case socialist.
There is also an in-between realm in which, under liberal pluralism, a
compromise between rule and service prevails.
11. The post-Human(ist) Millennium, or highest civilization, should lead directly
to the transcendental Beyond.
12. At bottom the
Universe is, and always has been, evil.
Only evolutionary civilization aspires towards goodness.
13. The stars signify the most agonized
doing. The Holy Spirit will signify the
most blissful being.
14. He who imagines that, by itself,
Transcendental Meditation will suffice to ensure his future salvation ... is a
misguided idealist.
15. The Supreme Being
comes at the climax of evolution, not at the beginning!
16. Between two absolutes
man weaves his course - a creation of the alpha absolute, a potential creator
of the omega absolute.
17. The stars will eventually collapse and
disintegrate. Supreme being, on the other hand, will last for ever.
18. Christianity, being a dualistic phenomenon,
embraces both a diluted paganism and a diluted transcendentalism. Jesus Christ, the 'Three in One', is both
body and spirit as well as will. But He
is less will than the Father and less spirit than the Holy Ghost. Being good, He can save the body through love. But instinctual strength and spiritual truth
are respectively anterior and posterior to Him.
19. From the pre-dualistic to the post-dualistic
via the dualistic - that is the path of evolution.
20. Everyday consciousness is a product of the
fusion-point between the subconscious and superconscious
parts of the psyche.
21. One day the superconscious
will triumph over the subconscious.
22. The natural world must inevitably lead to the
supernatural one, to that which will come about when man abandons the former
for the latter, and thus becomes superman - a creature of the Holy Ghost.
23. The stars are components of Hell. The Holy Spirit will alone be Heaven.
24. The pronoun 'He' in relation to God is only
relevant during an anthropomorphic or egocentric stage of evolution. With the arrival of a post-egocentric age,
however, we should refer to divinity as 'it'.
For the Holy Spirit is beyond anthropomorphism.
25. Never forget that supreme being is in the
making, not an already-existent fact!
26. Never confound spirit with Holy Spirit. The former is flesh-bound. The latter will be transcendent.
27. Spirit is only potentially divine, not
divinity itself. Strictly speaking,
there is no tat twam asi (thou art that).
28. The transcendental Beyond,
comprised of undifferentiated transcendent spirit, will be ultimate reality,
beyond which evolution could not go, having attained to its culmination in
perfect unity.
29. At death, the spirit
simply expires. Death signifies the
mortal overcoming of the spirit by the flesh.
30. We must get beyond the flesh if the spirit is
to survive.
31. Technology should gradually replace the
natural body with an artificial support/sustain system for the brain. Spirit will therefore be able to avoid the
death that the natural body would otherwise have inflicted upon it. Its eternal potential, or potential for
eternity, will thereby be fully realized.
32. We must become increasingly technological if
we are eventually to attain to our goal in transcendent spirit.
33. As we overcome
nature, so we become increasingly artificial.
The attainment of the supernatural can only be effected through the
maximum artificiality.
34. In the future, propagation will be
artificially regulated.
35. In reflecting an urge
towards sexual sublimation, the use of pornography is but a stage on the road
to our complete liberation from the flesh.
36. Sex in the head is the logical evolutionary
development beyond sex in the body.
37. Man eats and drinks, but he will cease to eat
and drink once he becomes artificially transmuted.
38. Man defecates and urinates, but he will cease
to defecate and urinate once he becomes artificially transmuted.
39. Man copulates and reproduces, but he will cease
to copulate and reproduce once he becomes artificially transmuted.
40. Man sleeps and dreams, but he will cease to
sleep and dream once he becomes artificially transmuted.
41. Man is thus a victim of the sensual, but he
will cease to be a victim of the sensual once he becomes artificially
transmuted.
42. The human world must tend towards unity on the
material plane before it can hope to achieve unity on the spiritual one. It must put social means before
transcendental ends.
43. Sensual love will give way to spiritual love -
love, in the subconscious, for another individual, to love, in the superconscious, of the self.
44. The impersonal self,
or spirit, will replace the personal self, or body.
45. Never confound socialism with religion. It is politics.
46. A socialist society is not a civilized
society. It is a society on the road to
civilization.
47. Civilization presupposes politics and religion
harmonized with the existence of a compatible
nobility. Thus pre-dualistic
civilization embraces royalism and paganism
harmonized with aristocratic nobility.
Dualistic civilization embraces liberal pluralism and Christianity
harmonized with bourgeois nobility.
Post-dualistic civilization will embrace socialism and transcendentalism
harmonized with proletarian nobility.
48. A class with a politics but no religion is a
class in the process of evolving towards nobility, not a
completed nobility. In
contemporary terms, the proletariat are such a class.
49. When urban dwellers accept and participate in
both socialism and transcendentalism, becoming socialistically
transcendentalist, they will constitute a new nobility
- the proletarian one.
50. An age of transition between one civilization
and another is necessarily barbarous.
51. The new barbarism takes the form of a
materialistic one-sidedness.
Post-dualistic civilization will embrace a materialistic/spiritualistic
compromise which will give way, in the post-Human Millennium, to a
spiritualistic one-sidedness leading, ultimately, to the transcendental Beyond.
52. Have no fear, Christianity wasn't an
aberration but an integral part of civilized evolution. They weren't madmen or fools who conceived of
a Beyond. They simply conceived of it
from an egocentric and therefore misguided viewpoint. We should know better!
53. The post-egocentric age is also
post-dualistic. Hence
an intolerance, wherever post-egocentric criteria obtain, of humanism. Man is something, in Nietzschean
parlance, that should be overcome. What are you doing to overcome him?
54. Men aren't now equal, but one day they shall
be.
55. A classless society will only truly exist when
all men are engaged in the same pursuit - namely, the cultivation of spirit.
56. The further we
progress, the more do we advocate and experience being over doing.
57. The stars, through
their ferocious conversion of hydrogen into helium, are the maximum negative
doing, and therefore the most evil of all phenomena. The Holy Spirit will be the maximum positive
being, and therefore the most good.
58. Each succeeding nobility attains to a higher
concept of being over doing, and so experiences
greater being.
59. The more negative
doing one indulges in, the closer one stands to the infernal
creative-and-sustaining force. The more
positive being, on the other hand, the closer one draws to the divine
consummation of evolution.
60. Truth is a liberator; it frees one from
illusion.
61. Space is infinite but the stars are
finite. There can never be an end to the
former, but there must certainly be a limit to (the number of) the latter.
62. Time is finite but eternity will be
infinite. There is a limit set to the
former, but there can be no end to the latter.
63. Space and time cannot be harmonized, any more
than could the stars and eternity.
Eventually time must give way to eternity and the stars to space. The Universe will culminate in infinity -
without limits!
64. The omega absolute presupposes indefinite
expansion - an expansion without limits and a lifespan without end.
65. The Universe isn't expanding with regard to
the stars. Only spirit will continue to
expand in the Universe, and most especially transcendent spirit. Stars, on the contrary, diverge.
66. By its very
frictional nature, doing expends itself on reaction. Being, on the other hand, sustains and
enlarges itself on attraction.
67. The omega absolute will never cease to expand
in the infinity of endless space. For if it did, it would not be living or, rather, being.
68. A static omega absolute would be dwarfed by
the infinity of space, rendering such infinity somewhat superfluous.
69. Only through the omega absolute's indefinite
expansion would the infinity of space serve a logical purpose by ensuring its
eternity.
70. The temporal contraction of the stars (stellar
devolution) should be seen as the converse of the eternal expansion of the Holy
Spirit (spiritual evolution).
71. Thus while the Universe contracts materially,
it expands spiritually through man and (presumably) man-equivalent life forms
elsewhere.
72. Those that confound the Supreme Being with the
Almighty, or truth with strength, are just as likely to confound the spiritual
nature of the expanding Universe with galactic divergence.
73. An imperfect Universe will be brought to
perfection via man in the perfected essence of transcendent spirit.
74. Whether a convergence of universal spirit to
ultimate spiritual unity will be achieved simultaneously or gradually and
successively, following the amalgamation of simultaneously-expanding globes of
transcendent spirit, remains open to dispute.
75. It isn't, however, impossible that, given the
immensity of the physical Universe, there will be a number of omega absolutes,
or spiritual globes, simultaneously in existence, which will converge towards
one another prior to the establishment of ultimate spiritual unity, or the
definitive omega absolute.
76. But even this definitive omega absolute, the
sum-product of all previous convergences of individual spiritual globes, would
continue to expand in infinite space according to its essential nature in
blissful being, until it was far greater than the greatest stars had ever been,
and yet never static, never nearing a maximum scale.
77. For one cannot set dimensional limits to that
which would be the highest existence the Universe had engendered or could ever
engender.
78. Only the stars have limits, and they are not
the highest but the most primal existences in the Universe - namely, the alpha
absolutes.
79. In collapsing, the stars will leave the
Universe to divine perfection; for it will then be the omega absolute.
80. But the Universe isn't
divinely perfect at present, at any rate not, in particular, with regard to the
stars! For they are
simply infernal, and will continue to preclude the Universe from attaining,
through man, to ultimate perfection as long as they exist.
81. Pantheism, through which
God is identified with the Universe, is essentially unconscious diabolism, in
which the Devil is taken for God, and Hell for Heaven.
82. But true divinity does not exist. We have a moral duty to create it, and so
bring about the supreme beingfulness of the omega
absolute.
83. We have our spirits and one day they will be
transformed into Holy Spirit - pure and transcendent. For that is the way of evolution!
