Cycles 1-72
____________
CYCLE ONE
1. The idealism (anti-transcendentalism) of
light vis-à-vis the transcendentalism (anti-idealism) of spirit.
2. The naturalism (anti-fundamentalism) of fire
vis-à-vis the fundamentalism (anti-naturalism) of soul.
3. The materialism (anti-nonconformism) of ice
vis-à-vis the nonconformism (anti-materialism) of mind.
4. The realism (anti-humanism) of earth
vis-à-vis the humanism (anti-realism) of will.
5. The space of light vis-à-vis the air of
spirit.
6. The time of fire vis-à-vis the blood of soul.
7. The volume of ice vis-à-vis the brain of
mind.
8. The mass of earth vis-à-vis the womb of will.
9. Stellar idealism vis-à-vis divine
transcendentalism.
10. Solar naturalism vis-à-vis diabolic
fundamentalism.
11. Lunar materialism vis-à-vis masculine
nonconformism.
12. Planar (planetary) realism vis-à-vis feminine
humanism.
CYCLE TWO
1. The unemployed are the West's untouchables.
2. Conventional politics wishes to return (or
send) the unemployed to work.
Revolutionary religion desires nothing less than their elevation to
properly classless self-realization through the spirit.
3. The Modern Age is so debased ... that it
makes a virtue out of work and a virtuous man out of the worker!
4. After woman and the
family, work is the next worst obstacle to the attainment of divine redemption
in and through the spirit.
5. We should look towards a future in which
people do not have to work because there is little or no work for them to do,
and they are free, in consequence, to dedicate more time to the pursuit of
spiritual excellence.
6. The ultimate society
would not be one in which men worked for their families but, on the contrary,
one in which, saved from families by true religion, they were free to cultivate
the spirit.
7. Families are a dying breed which, in 'Kingdom
Come', will be given the coup de grace and consigned to the 'rubbish
heap' of worldly history.
8. Reproduction in the future will be
increasingly artificial and orientated towards the development of a superhuman
race such that transcends both man and (especially) woman. Such a race will be One
with God.
9. The ultimate election
will determine whether the People go forward, under Messianic auspices, to God
(the Holy Spirit of Heaven), or remain 'bogged down' in republican 'sin' and
the perpetuation, in consequence, of democracy.
10. An election which legally exploited the democratic
process in the name of religious sovereignty would only be possible once the
People had, through enlightened persuasion, accepted the desirability of such
sovereignty as an end-in-itself.
11. Such an acceptance presupposes the official recognition,
through his truth, of the Second Coming, since it is his will to free the
People from 'worldly sin' in the interests of 'heavenly grace'.
12. As above, so below
... to the extent that both Heaven and the World (here conceived with a
religious overtone) are contexts of subjectivity. The crucial distinction, however, is that
whereas the World's subjectivity is phenomenal, the subjectivity of Heaven is
noumenal - all the difference, in short, between woman and God.
13. The World by itself would not lead to Heaven
(since no woman has any desire to transform herself into God). On the contrary, it is only because and to
the extent that the World is affiliated, through Christ, with a purgatorial
Overworld, so to speak, that there is any possibility of heavenly redemption.
14. The purgatorial
Overworld, like the World, is phenomenal, albeit of a phenomenality which is
culturally rooted in lunar objectivity and incapable, by itself, of achieving
Heaven.
15. Isolated from the World, the culture of purgatorial
Overworldliness succumbs to the dominance of lunar materialism and its
phenomenal objectivity, with Antichristic implications for all - usually
Nonconformists - concerned.
16. Parliamentarianism is a mode of political
Antichrist which tends to dominate overly purgatorial adherence to Christ
through World-defying nonconformism.
17. Being phenomenally
objective, it is easy for parliamentarianism to seek an accommodation with the
noumenal objectivity of monarchism in its defiance of the World or, more
correctly, republicanism.
18. Parliamentarianism does
not automatically lead to monarchism, any more, from a religious standpoint,
than nonconformism leads to Freemasonry. There is, rather, an understanding and
partnership between what are fundamentally two different class points of view -
the former middle class and the latter upper class.
19. Both the upper and middle classes are
fundamentally aligned with the objectivity of the sun and the moon respectively
- the former noumenal and the latter phenomenal, as between naturalism and
materialism.
20. One could
distinguish, more pedantically, between ruling-class naturalism (monarchism)
and upper-class fundamentalism (freemasonry) on the one hand, and between
governing-class materialism (parliamentarianism) and middle-class nonconformism
(puritanism) on the other hand.
21. Whereas with regard to naturalism the ruling
class (monarchic royals) would be aligned with the sun, with regard to
fundamentalism, by contrast, the upper-class (masonic peers) alignment would be
to the blood.
22. Likewise whereas with regard to materialism
the governing class (representative parliamentarians) would be aligned with the
moon, with regard to nonconformism, by contrast, the middle-class (professional
puritans) alignment would be to the brain.
23. However that may be, both the governing/middle
class and the ruling/upper class conspire together against the working/ lower
class in defence of their objective interests.
Such a conspiracy of the Antichrist with Satan or, alternatively, of
Christ with the Father ... usually has the effect of preventing the
Antimother/Mother from achieving freedom from objective oppression.
24. Yet such freedom is a precondition not only of
the development of phenomenal subjectivity but, more significantly, of noumenal
subjectivity through the Second Coming, when the World, and hence the lower
class, is ready to democratically exchange its 'worldly sins' for 'heavenly
grace' ... in the classless paradise of religious sovereignty, and hence the
Social Transcendentalist Centre.
25. For Social Transcendentalism is the
ideological framework of the 'Kingdom of Heaven', and the Centre is the context
of religious sovereignty that would replace political sovereignty, in the event
of a majority vote for it.
26. Social Transcendentalism is the
politico-religious manifestation of the Holy Spirit of Heaven wherein, under
Messianic auspices, the '
27. Religious sovereignty would confer upon the
People the right to self-realization, as the Holy Spirit of Heaven, within
centres built and staffed for the purpose of enabling them to develop their
spirituality in an ongoing process destined to culminate in a transcendent
Omega Point, set in space at some time in the distant future.
28. Such a spiritual development would initially
imply the use of certain drugs (carefully monitored and regulated) as a
precondition of a much purer and truer spirituality premised on the basis of
transcendental meditation.
29. It is my belief that, at this juncture in
time, meditation by itself would be inadequate to enable a
religiously-sovereign people to defeat and transcend the spiritually-debilitating
effects of cinema and television/video-viewing, and consequently that a phase
of internal artificial visionary experience would be necessary to pave the way
for pure essence in the transcendental long-term.
30. Such a contention accepts that Anglo-American
civilization is analogous, in its light-worshipping idolatry, to the pagan
civilization of classical antiquity, and that feminism and socialism are
symptomatic of a Dark Age out of which Social Transcendentalism must lead the
People into a sort of supercatholic civilization the precondition of a
superpuritan futurity.
CYCLE THREE
1. The God of the Old Testament is Jehovah,
whereas the God of the New Testament is Jesus Christ.
2. Jesus Christ is the Son of God the Father,
but the Father is not Jehovah!
3. Jehovah could no more
have a Son, in the sense of Christ, than the Father could have a moon.
4. The Son, in the
sense of Christ, is only possible to the Father on the basis of a loving
relationship with the Mother; for all three deities are necessarily omega
postulates.
5. It would of course be possible for the
Antison, or Antichrist, to stem from the Antifather, or Satan, on the basis of
a lustful relationship with the Antimother, or Cursed Whore; for all three
antideities would be alpha postulates.
6. Yet such an Antifather, corresponding to
solar naturalism, would not be Jehovah, since the God of the Old Testament is
an antispirit or, more correctly, the Antispirit roughly corresponding, in its
stellar idealism, to the Hindu Clear Light of the Void.
7. What particularly distinguishes Jehovah from
the Clear Light of the Void ... is the anthropomorphic distance which exists
between Hindu idealism and Judaic realism in view of the later development of
the latter religion.
8. One might be forgiven for equating the Clear
Light of the Void with the central star of the Galaxy; but no such literal
derivation could apply to any figurative extrapolation from such a primal
source of cosmic energy.
9. Platonic idealism is a Greek version of
cosmic idealism ... to the extent that it allows for an anterior realm of 'pure
ideas', of which the visible embodiments in the material world are but 'pale
copies', like 'Maya' in relation to the Clear Light.
10. If philosophy is rooted in cosmic or
scientific idealism, then philosophy is a profoundly anti-religious discipline
which must necessarily fight shy of transcendentalism.
11. Such a contention would allow for a
distinction, indeed an antithesis, between philosophical idealism and theosophical
transcendentalism - the former objective and the latter subjective.
12. Logically, one could also draw a distinction
between psychological naturalism and theological fundamentalism - the former
objective and the latter subjective.
13. These alpha/omega distinctions simply confirm
the dichotomy which exists between science and religion on the basis of an
objective/subjective antithesis.
14. Science is about Doing in relation to the
Given; religion, by contrast, about Being in relation
to the Becoming.
15. Television is a realistic Antihell, video a
humanistic Hell; radio is a realistic Antiworld, audio a humanistic World;
record players are a realistic Antipurgatory, compact discs a humanistic
Purgatory; computers are a realistic Antiheaven, CD-ROMs a humanistic Heaven.
16. Possible correlation between double audio-tape
decks and lesbianism on the one hand, and double video-tape decks and
homosexuality on the other hand.
17. Schizophrenic oscillation of Christians
between the Jehovahesque idealism of the Old Testament and the Fatheresque
fundamentalism of the New Testament, the latter alone having
any relationship to Christ.
18. Neither Jehovah nor the Father is literally
God; for Jehovah corresponds to cosmic idealism and the Father to blood-based
fundamentalism - the former a sort of Antigod along the lines of the Clear
Light of the Void, the latter a positive, or omega, Devil corresponding to the
Holy Soul of Hell. Only the Holy Spirit
of Heaven is truly divine.
19. Even Allah is not truly divine in the sense of
being the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
Although originally deriving from Jehovah, Allah developed, within
Islam, a fundamentalist status analogous to the Father. In fact, one could paradoxically argue that
Allah is the Father minus the Trinity, which is to say, an unequivocal
manifestation of fundamentalist strength.
For strength is the quality of 'the Almighty', a quality antithetical to
the weakness of Satan.
20. The quality of Jehovah or indeed of any
creator-deity (necessarily cosmic) is illusion, the negative antithesis of
truth, and thus something having reference to the Clear Light of the Void, as
opposed to the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
21. Illusion is the alpha antithesis of truth no
less than weakness the alpha antithesis of strength. Allah is 'great' not because He is illusory,
but precisely by dint of His correlation with strength.
22. Strength is rooted neither in the illusion of
light nor in the truth of air, but in the blood, against which the weakness of
fire is a naturalistic threat.
CYCLE FOUR
1. Because strength is rooted in the blood, it
could be said that Allah corresponds to the Western or, at any rate, Christian
concept of the vampire, since, unlike the Father, Allah is a hard-line
fundamentalist deity whose image of strength has its fountainhead in the soul.
2. Thus whereas the fundamentalism of the Father
is tempered by His relationship to both the Son and the Holy Spirit, the
fundamentalism of Allah is absolutist in its correlation with the blood.
3. The Father might be accused of 'hogging
Heaven' to Himself by sucking air out of (presumably) the Mother's lungs in due
process of loving her, but He could not be accused of sucking blood from her veins
in the manner of one who has no relationship, not even tangentially, with the
Holy Ghost.
4. Count Dracula may well be, in his peer-like
fundamentalism, the Christian concept of Allah, for whom the pursuit of
strength through blood is a matter of (diabolical) life and death which amounts
to nothing short of a 'Holy War'.
5. Were Jehovah, Allah, the Father, etc., simply
different terms for the same God ... there would be no friction, neither now
nor historically, between the different so-called world religions. It is, however, precisely because such names
relate to different concepts of God ... that frictions arise.
6. Thus although all traditional religions
relate, through various names, to the concept of God, they vary in their
interpretation of that concept.
7. The reasons for this
are many and complex, but climatic and environmental factors are inevitably
responsible for such a variety of interpretations to the notion of God.
8. Unless we can establish a 'level playing field'
of climatic and environmental conditions for the whole world, it is difficult
to foresee a situation arising whereby universal unanimity as to what
constitutes God could be anticipated.
9. Such a 'level playing field' ... of an equal
and morally-advantageous climate ... may well, besides the more obvious factor
of standardized indoor conditions, require the siting of large 'blocking' or
'filtering' devices in space to reduce the sun's influence, especially in
relation to overly hot climates or countries.
10. Viewed from the standpoint of the sort of
grey, temperate climate which is conducive to the development, up to a point,
of genuine spirituality, it becomes sadly apparent that most of the world (in
the global sense) is at a distinct spiritual disadvantage to countries like
Ireland with regard to climate, since a majority of countries tend to have hot
dry weather which has the effect of impeding true spirituality.
11. In fact the hotter the country the harder it
will be to go against the sun's pagan influence and adopt anything like a
transcendental attitude to life.
12. Even Britain is at a spiritual disadvantage to
Ireland with regard to the greater amount, comparatively speaking, of sunshine
it experiences vis-à-vis its island neighbour - a factor which is doubtless at
the roots of the age-old friction and distrust between the two islands.
13. Irish immigrants to Britain differ from most
of their coloured counterparts by coming from a climate which, in its
preponderating greyness and dampness, was largely responsible for creating that
transvaluated culture which reflects a Christian 'rebirth'.
14. By contrast to Irish immigrants in Britain,
most of the coloured immigrants come from countries that are hotter and sunnier
than Britain in the summer and even throughout the year, thereby sharing with
the British a pagan bias which is simply, if anything, more intensive than that
of the British themselves.
15. Thus, unlike the Irish, they do not generally
find themselves at cross-purposes with the British, but blend-in with them on
rather more intensively heathen terms.
16. The importance of
climate and environment in conditioning, over the centuries, ethnic identities
... cannot and should not be underestimated!
CYCLE FIVE
1. A so-called parliamentary democracy (which is
not even a genuine, or republican, democracy but a 'bovaryization' of democracy
relevant to an economic hegemony) is an anti-nonconformist democracy in which,
due to materialistic factors, the tongue governs the brain.
2. A republican democracy (which is a genuine
democracy relevant to a political hegemony) is an anti-humanist democracy in
which, due to realistic factors, the flesh represents the womb.
3. A so-called People's democracy (which is not
a genuine democracy but a 'bovaryization' of democracy relevant to a scientific
hegemony) is an anti-fundamentalist democracy in which, due to naturalistic
factors, the ears rule the heart.
4. A so-called clerical democracy (which is not
a genuine democracy but a 'bovaryization' of democracy relevant to a religious
hegemony) is an anti-transcendentalist democracy in which, due to idealistic
factors, the eyes lead the lungs.
5. Democracy, whether genuine or pseudo,
phenomenal or noumenal, relativistic or absolutist, pluralist or totalitarian,
etc., etc., is a creature of the alpha which retains a particle basis, in
keeping with its collectivistic nature.
6. No democracy, whether rooted in religion,
science, economics, or politics, encourages a moral outlook on life. On the contrary, democracy militates against
morality by encouraging a collectivistic mentality relevant to its particle
basis.
7. Hence a vote for democracy is effectively a
vote against the wavicle responsibility of a moral resolve, since it elects a particle
candidate and thereby restricts one to immoral criteria.
8. Democracy is, literally, bad for the
electorate's morals, since it confirms a particle dominance, which is an
implicit refutation of wavicle alternatives.
9. A so-called clerical democracy, rooted in the
photon particles of a religious leadership, confirms the domination of the
Antispirit.
10. A so-called People's democracy, rooted in the
proton particles of a scientific rulership, confirms the domination of the
Antifather.
11. A so-called parliamentary democracy, rooted in
the neutron particles of an economic governance,
confirms the domination of the Antichrist.
12. A republican democracy, rooted in the electron
particles of a political representation, confirms the domination of the Antimother.
13. In all four cases,
the domination of the particle is confirmed, with negative consequences for the
electorate, who then have to live with the elected antiwavicles in a
predominantly immoral society.
14. The only way out of
this unfortunate situation is through a vote, via Social Transcendentalism, for
religious sovereignty, once the opportunity of such a paradoxical election
eventually comes to pass.
15. Such a vote presupposes a genuine democracy in
which the electorate are free to choose between a number
of alternative parties within a broadly republican framework. It cannot happen within either a
parliamentary democracy/constitutional monarchy or a one-party state.
16. The consequence of a
majority vote for religious sovereignty, through Social Transcendentalism,
would be deliverance from democracy and salvation in God ... the Holy Spirit of
Heaven.
CYCLE SIX
1. European civilized decadence begins and ends
with photographic books; American barbarism begins and ends with film.
2. Asian cultural decadence begins and ends with
mystical yoga; African naturism begins and ends with sex.
3. One should distinguish between the idealistic
meditation of light-based mysticism and the transcendental meditation of
air-centred gnosticism.
4. Mysticism accepts the Universe as the source
of Revelation; gnosticism rejects the Universe (as
evil) in favour of Divine Revelation.
5. Divinity is never found without, e.g.
in the Cosmos, but always within, e.g. in the self that is at one with
the spirit which fuels it.
6. That which is without, e.g. the
Cosmos, is mysterious to the self and the subject, in consequence, of mystical
hypotheses.
7. Unlike the Mystic, the Gnostic does not pay
too much attention to the Cosmos, since he has no desire to reach an
accommodation with it, but desires only to identify, as far as possible, with
his self.
8. In a sense, the Cosmos holds no mystery for
the Gnostic, since he is one who has seen through it (to its absolute evil) and
rejected it in favour of absolute good.
9. The Mystic succumbs,
through moral blindness, to the idealistic meditation of the light. The Gnostic adheres, through moral insight,
to the transcendental meditation of the air.
10. The Mystic is a
scientific Idealist, the Gnostic ... a religious Transcendentalist.
11. The Old Testament,
rooted in the Cosmos, is mystical; the New Testament, centred in Christ, is
gnostical.
12. The Gnostic is one
who, having been spiritually reborn through Christ, has elected to turn his
back on mysticism. Hence his adherence
to true religion as opposed to the pseudo-religion of the cosmic-oriented
Mystic.
13. The 'Kingdom Within' can only be developed at
the expense of the 'Kingdom Without'; for where the Holy Spirit of Heaven
prevails, there can be no place for the Clear Light of the Void.
14. The Mystic, being a
devotee of the Clear Light of the Void, can have little notion of what it means
to be One with the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
His idealism debars him from that transcendentalism which is the
Gnostic's true home.
15. The Mystic is the 'religious' (philosophical)
form of the scientist, whereas the Gnostic is the 'scientific' (theosophical)
form of the priest.
CYCLE SEVEN
1. The eyes (particularly the so-called 'Third
Eye') of mystical philosophy vis-à-vis the lungs of gnostical theosophy.
2. The ears (necessarily large) of scientific
psychology vis-à-vis the heart of religious theology.
3. The psychiatrist, or practising psychologist,
listens intently to his client and endeavours to interpret his dreams, mental
phobias, neuroses, etc., in the light of psychoanalysis.
4. Psychiatry is rooted in the backbrain, and
extends towards the subconscious in due process of psychoanalysis.
5. Such an extension parallels, on the cultural
plane, the threat to vampirism posed by sunlight.
6. The subconscious is home to religious
archetypes of the sort favoured by theologians and all who are centred, if not
rooted, in the Father, viz. the heart and its blood.
7. The correlation
between the subconscious and the heart parallels, on the theological plane,
that between the backbrain and the ears with regard to the plane of psychology.
8. One might argue, in crude terms, that the
investigation and analysis of the subconscious by psychiatrists is akin to an
attack by Satan upon the Father, and that the motive for such an attack is to
defeat the subconscious and render it accountable to the backbrain.
9. Once tamed by psychiatry, the subconscious
becomes the plaything of science; for the client has 'sold his soul' to the
psychologist, and therefore ceased to be theologically independent.
10. It could be argued that most if not all
psychiatric clients who pay to be psychoanalysed have a subconscious desire to
be delivered from theology, and thus from their religious archetypes.
11. Even dream interpretation is a mode of
theological deliverance which, seemingly, renders the dream contents
accountable, via aural assimilation, to backbrain analysis.
12. Whether the 'soul' is Pagan or Christian,
dream-based or theological, the result is its loss to psychology, and the
growth and entrenchment of scientific values at religion's expense.
13. Such a loss of religion to science is the
worst possible form of damnation, and contrasts with the salvation that would
be offered by the Second Coming to those who elected to be saved from the soul
to the spirit, thereby passing from the Father to the Holy Spirit of Heaven, as
the subconscious was first neutralized and then transcended by the
superconscious.
14. To neutralize the dream subconscious
(unconscious) through recourse, in the superconscious, to hallucinogenic
visionary experience such as vouchsafed by LSD, and to transcend the
theological subconscious, or subconscious-proper, through transcendental
meditation - such would be the stratagems by which the Second Coming sought to
save the Faithful from both pagan and Christian modes of subconscious
domination.
15. The correlation
between the superconscious and the lungs parallels, on the theosophical plane,
that between the forebrain and the eyes (including, more particularly, the
so-called 'Third Eye') with regard to the plane of philosophy.
16. Just as the ears are rooted in the backbrain,
so the subconscious is rooted in the heart, which directs its psychic activity.
17. And just as the eyes - though the 'Third Eye'
in particular - are centred in the forebrain, so the superconscious is centred
in the lungs, which are its true home.
18. This means that whereas the ears stem from the
backbrain, the subconscious stems from the heart, which, as everyone knows, is
the 'seat of the soul'.
19. Yet, with regard to the centred entities, it
means that whereas the forebrain stems from the eyes, the lungs stem, by
contrast, from the superconscious, or air.
20. That which is idealist and/or
transcendentalist, like light and spirit respectively, is centred,
whereas that which is naturalist and/or fundamentalist, like fire and soul
respectively, is rooted.
21. I would contend that the development of the
forebrain owed much if not everything to the eyes, as an objective vehicle for
pulling it out of the backbrain.
22. Likewise I would argue that the development of
the lungs owed much if not everything to the air, as a subjective vehicle for
filling-out and ultimately transmuting the gills.
23. The light is never so centred in the forebrain
than when the mystical 'Third Eye' of philosophical 'enlightenment' eclipses
the optical eyes and brings its devotee to 'oneness' with, effectively, the
central star of the Galaxy.
24. The backbrain may
have created ears to enable it to liaise with the external environment, but it
seems to me that the eyes were largely responsible for creating the forebrain.
25. That which is materialist and/or
nonconformist, like ice and mind respectively, is rooted, whereas that
which is realist and/or humanist, like earth and will respectively, is centred.
26. This is in confirmation of the fact that
whereas the rooted spectra, viz. naturalist/fundamentalist and materialist/
nonconformist, are predominantly objective, the centred spectra, viz.
idealist/transcendentalist and realist/humanist, are preponderantly subjective.
27. The rootedness of the
materialist/nonconformist spectrum differs from that of the
naturalist/fundamentalist one, as phenomenal relativity from noumenal
absolutism.
28. Likewise, the centredness of the
realist/humanist spectrum differs from that of the idealist/transcendentalist
one, as phenomenal relativity from noumenal absolutism.
CYCLE EIGHT
1. Even though the sphericity of the earth can
be inferred from the sphericity of both the sun and the moon, the fact remains
that the earth is both round and flat - absolutely round and relatively
flat.
2. From an overview, the earth is of course
round; but from the viewpoint of those living on it, there is a relative
flatness about the distance from point A to B, as from one part of town to
another. Anyone who simply claims that
the earth is round, because spherical overall, misses this point completely!
3. Interracial sexual relationships are more
typical of the alpha than the omega of society,
granted that they reflect a certain looseness wherein the heterogeneous
preponderates over the homogeneous. A multiracial
society is rather more likely to be under the star than under the cross.
4. Even multiracial societies can become
effectively monoracial in the course of time, once interbreeding has gone so
far that a coloured mean is the eventual result.
5. The more omega
orientated the society the more strict will it be in regard to so-called racial
purity, since the attraction of like to like, say white to white or black to
black, is reflective of the homogeneous essence of a moral society.
6. In a fundamentally immoral society, on the
other hand, anything goes, and therefore even the most disparate interracial
relationships are both possible and indeed desirable, whether as a reflection
of the existing barbarism or as a valiant attempt to diminish it through
miscegenation.
7. Ultimately a coloured mean is preferable to a
black/white or, for that matter, a yellow/red antithesis, given the homogeneous
essence of such a mean.
8. Yet such a contention is
only relative to societies in which there exist racial distinctions of the
above-mentioned order, not to societies which are predominantly white or black,
as the case may be.
9. It is incontrovertible that, fundamentally,
skin pigmentation is relative to environmental and climatic factors whose
influence, over the millennia, has conduced towards the development of one
colour or another.
10. There is nothing arbitrary about skin
pigmentation, or any need to suppose that it signifies anything much beyond the
influence of climate on a given people.
11. It is not by mere coincidence that darker
peoples tend to originate in hot lands, where the sun's influence is so much
stronger in terms of its effects upon pigmentation.
12. It may even be that skin pigmentation partly
evolved as a form of camouflage, to enable peoples to blend-in with their
natural environment, and so avoid detection by predators.
13. Personally I hold that it is more fortunate to
be white than black or coloured, given the historical association of fair-skinned
peoples with wet and windy climates, the sort of climates in which it was
possible to develop Christianity at the expense of Paganism.
14. There is no real justification, however, in
discriminating against those who would appear, at face-value, to be at an
environmental or moral disadvantage to oneself; rather, one should strive,
having understood their ancestral conditioning, to help and encourage them
towards a better, e.g. less pagan and more Christian, future.
15. Hot lands exist whether or not we approve of
the fact; the sun's influence is greater in some parts of the world than in
others, and therefore there are bound to be cultural and other inequalities
which militate against the development of a uniform higher culture. This is regrettable in the short term, but
there is no reason to suppose that, with the introduction of revolutionary
changes in environment if not, ultimately, climate, we cannot do something to
bring the world to a more uniform culture eventually.
16. Black and coloured women are, I have long
believed, at a distinct advantage to white women where sexual seduction is
concerned, given their more sensuous natures (the product, in large part, of a
long racial historicity of association with hot or sultry climates).
17. Given the enhanced sensuality of black and
coloured women over their white counterparts, it is virtually inevitable that,
within a generation or two, most Britons, for example, will be coloured, the
white males having fallen for black and/or coloured women, and their black
counterparts having opted, through enhanced sexuality coupled to prestige
factors, for white females.
18. One might speak of the dialectics of racial
interbreeding leading from a black thesis through a white antithesis to a
coloured synthesis, the homogeneous mean of a future civilization.
CYCLE NINE
1. For every good
thinker, a bad one. For every Gnostic, a
Mystic - Aristotle vis-à-vis Plato, Hegel vis-à-vis Marx, Nietzsche vis-à-vis
Schopenhauer - as transcendentalism and idealism stake their respective claims
on the intellect, and the battle between spirit and light continues apace.
2. The folly of philosophy vis-à-vis the wisdom
of theosophy, which is to say, the mysticism of the alpha vis-à-vis the gnosticism of the omega.
3. English civilization was eclipsed by British
barbarism back in the seventeenth century, and the
result was the Empire upon which the sun never set - the glorious imperialistic
triumph of
4. Even now, when the glorious
5. Such will doubtless continue to be the case until,
through Divine Intervention, free Englishmen, Scotsmen, and Welshmen step forth
from the slavery of monarchic barbarism and declare their independence in
unequivocally republican terms.
6. Only when they are no longer subjects of a
reigning monarch ... will Englishmen, Scotsmen, and Welshmen cease to be first
and foremost British barbarians, but become, instead, free citizens of their
respective countries.
7. England, Scotland, and Wales will then be
able to join the community of free nations that, like Ireland, are entitled to salvation from the World on the basis of
religious sovereignty.
8. But before this can
happen, the British dragon must be democratically slain by a resurgent St
George, if freedom from barbarism is to become a lasting reality!
9. Hopefully,
10. Freedom from slavery is one thing; freedom
from sin quite another! Such a freedom
can only be guaranteed on the basis of identity, through the Second Coming,
with the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
11. There are besides 'freedoms from', what might
be called 'freedoms of', such as the freedom of the Rich and Powerful to
exploit the Poor and Weak in their own immoral interests, or the freedom of
Nonconformists to trample the Established Church underfoot.
12. Such 'freedoms of' are really manifestations
of enslavement to materialist and/or nonconformist and naturalist and/or
fundamentalist powers by those who, for whatever reasons, identify with them,
to the People's detriment.
13. Hence the exploiters and tramplers are
themselves enslaved, although, unlike those whom they exploit or trample upon,
they take their enslavement for granted and paradoxically regard it as freedom,
much as cosmic-oriented Mystics will regard themselves as religious, or
consider as 'religion' that which, in reality, is really science.
14. One might say that the not-self has eclipsed
the self (in both its phenomenal and noumenal manifestations) of the exploiters
and bigots to such an extent ... that they identify with the not-self (whether
phenomenal or noumenal) at the self's expense, thereby acquiring an illusion of
freedom.
15. Such 'freedom', however, is a far-cry from the
genuine freedom of those who, while rejecting exploitation and bigotry, are
free from enslavement to the exploiters and bigots, but not yet free for the
binding to God (the Holy Spirit of Heaven) in the ultimate self.
16. Genuine freedom paves
the way for the true binding in God, which is voluntarily entered into, whereas
pseudo-freedom (the 'freedom of') is bound to the false binding of enslavement
to the Cosmos, which is deterministic.
CYCLE TEN
1. There is no one type
of good and evil, whether relatively or absolutely; rather, there is good and
evil in religion (not to mention politics) and science (not to mention
economics).
2. The Trinity is no more
good ... than, say, the Blessed Virgin evil; the Trinity is both good and evil, with
evil predominating over good.
3. One should contrast, within the Trinity, the
absolute evil of the Father with the absolute good of the Holy Spirit, on the
basis of an antithesis between the noumenal objectivity of the heart and the
noumenal subjectivity of the lungs, the former corresponding to the Father and
the latter to the Holy Spirit.
4. One should also contrast the relative evil of
the Son with the relative good of the Mother, on the basis of an antithesis
between the phenomenal objectivity of the brain and the phenomenal subjectivity
of the womb, the former corresponding to the Son and the latter to the Mother.
5. Hence the Christian religion provides us with
a contrast between absolute good and evil with regard to the Holy Spirit and
the Father, but relative good and evil with regard to the Mother and the Son.
6. The absolute evil (noumenal objectivity with
regard to soul) of the Father imposes upon the relative good (phenomenal
subjectivity with regard to will) of the Mother, while the relative evil
(phenomenal objectivity with regard to mind) of the Son aspires towards the
absolute good (noumenal subjectivity with regard to spirit) of the Holy Ghost.
7. Now let us examine good and evil with regard
to science, and therefore distinguish the absolute good (noumenal subjectivity
with regard to light) of the Antispirit from the absolute evil (noumenal
objectivity with regard to fire) of the Antifather, while reserving for the
distinction between relative good and evil the relative good (phenomenal
subjectivity with regard to earth) of the Antimother and the relative evil
(phenomenal objectivity with regard to ice) of the Antichrist.
8. One could speak, echoing religion, of the
absolute good of the eyes in noumenal contrast to the absolute evil of the
ears, so far as sensual parallels to light and heat were concerned, but of the
relative good of the flesh in phenomenal contrast to the relative evil of the
tongue, so far as sensual parallels to earth and ice were concerned.
9. The distinction between scientific good and
evil (whether noumenal or phenomenal) and religious good and evil (likewise
whether noumenal or phenomenal) is one of negativity and positivity on the
basis of a particle/wavicle, external/internal, centrifugal/centripetal
dichotomy.
10. Were one to make a trinitarian-type
distinction - which I would not normally wish to do - between religion as
'good' and science as 'evil', one could speak of Gods the Father (soul), the
Son (mind), and the Holy Ghost (spirit) vis-à-vis (presumably) Devils the
Antifather (fire), the Antison (ice), and the Antispirit (light). Yet, in reality, one would be deceiving
oneself as to the applicability of such a religious term as Devil(s) to the
scientific alpha, as well as overlooking the amorality implicit in a unitary
concept of the Trinity, which conveniently subsumes the absolute evil (noumenal
objectivity with regard to soul) of the Father under the rubric of God, thereby
completely subverting the divine!
11. No, let us not kid ourselves that the 'Three
in One' squares with true divinity, and is therefore worthy of being
contrasted, as God, with an Unholy Trinity of Devils or, rather, an anti-'Three
in One' - say, ice and fire in light, or tongue and ears in eyes! An antithetical contrast can of course be
made, not, however, as God vis-à-vis the Devil, but as religion vis-à-vis
science, or omega vis-à-vis alpha, with three (four, if we include the mundane)
different spectra to bear in mind.
12. The trinitarian concept of 'Three in One',
viz. the Son and the Holy Ghost in the Father, is a gross insult to true
divinity, since it subsumes both spirit and mind into soul, or lungs and brain
into heart, or even air and thoughts into the blood! Thus must truth and knowledge bow to
strength!
13. Clearly, such a capitulation to absolute
religious evil is precisely what prevents true divinity, in absolute religious
good, from coming to pass. For as long as
the Holy Ghost is subsumed, along with Christ, into the Father, the true devil
of religious evil will continue to rule the roost, to the detriment of
religious good. Verily, not until the
Holy Ghost is set free from the Father through the Second Coming ... will the
absolute religious good of the Holy Spirit of Heaven come to pass, and, with
it, the salvation of mankind from evil.
CYCLE ELEVEN
1. If religion contains both good and evil in
relation to itself, as I happen to believe, then it also contains both
salvation and damnation in relation to itself - whether absolutely (with regard
to the noumenal) or relatively (with regard to the phenomenal).
2. Salvation for religious people is therefore
from the damnation of the Father (absolutely) and Christ (relatively) to either
the Mother (relatively) or the Holy Ghost (absolutely). Roman Catholicism offers the former, Social
Transcendentalism will, I believe, offer the latter.
3. Whereas Roman Catholics are relatively saved
(from the Son to the Mother), Social Transcendentalists will be absolutely
saved (from the Father to the Holy Ghost).
4. Nonconformists are relatively damned to the
Son of an overly purgatorial Overworld, whereas Freemasons are absolutely
damned to the Father of an overly fundamental Netherworld, so to speak.
5. The Orange Lodges in Northern Ireland are a
manifestation of Masonic damnation (absolute) which tends back, in due process
of noumenally objective dominion, towards the monarchic alpha ('King Billy'),
and thus towards the Antifather of an overly scientific naturalism (of which
the Lambeg Drum is a 'cultural' paradigm).
6. The nonconformist damnation (relative) tends
back, in due process of phenomenally objective dominion, towards the
parliamentary alpha (Cromwell), and thus to Antichristic materialism (of which
capitalism is the economic manifestation).
7. Although religion specifically contains its
own damnation and salvation (as we have seen), it is of course possible to
differentiate, more generally, between the 'salvation' of religion and the
'damnation' of science, to the extent that anyone rooted in science is
automatically 'beneath the pale' of religious salvation, and therefore fated to
remain cut-off from the possibility of divine deliverance due to the
objectivity of his scientific isolation.
8. The Second Coming
can only save those who, being religious, are in a position to be saved (from
the Father) through the Holy Spirit of Heaven, never those who are not even
relatively religious but relatively and/or absolutely scientific.
9. A religious people will cling to the
phenomenal subjectivity of the Mother pending the possibility of noumenal
subjectivity through the Second Coming.
A non-religious, or scientific, people will reject such a subjectivity in the interests of their objective bent,
affirming an overly purgatorial and/or hellish religiosity in response to their
scientific promptings.
10. The Christ of
Catholicism always remains closer to the Mother, e.g. to the context of phenomenal
subjectivity; for only in the subjective is religion genuine, whether
relatively (as here) or absolutely ... in the Holy Spirit of Heaven to come.
11. The Catholic Christ is effectively a Son of
the Mother, whereas the Protestant Christ is more literally a Son of the
Father, living, through His Father, the objectivity of purgatorial isolation
from the World.
12. Within the context of phenomenal religion it
follows that a relatively good religious people will affirm the Mother above
all else, whilst a relatively evil religious people (who are not genuinely
religious anyway) will affirm the Son above all else.
13. Likewise, within the context of noumenal
religion it follows that an absolutely good religious people (a truly religious
people) will affirm the Holy Spirit of Heaven above all else or, rather,
instead of everything else, whilst an absolutely evil religious people (who are
not genuinely religious in any case) will affirm the Father above all else and
even, in really extreme cases, instead of everything else.
14. Good religious peoples are saved (to
subjectivity), whether relatively or absolutely, whereas bad religious peoples
are damned (to objectivity), whether relatively or absolutely, according to the
predominance of either phenomenal or noumenal factors.
CYCLE TWELVE
1. To examine good and evil in relation to
politics is to distinguish the absolute good (noumenal subjectivity with regard
to outer spirit) of the outer Holy Ghost from the absolute evil (noumenal
objectivity with regard to outer soul) of the outer Father, while
distinguishing the relative good (phenomenal subjectivity with regard to outer
will) of the outer Mother from the relative evil (phenomenal objectivity with
regard to outer mind) of the outer Son.
2. Hence one is
distinguishing, in the noumenal contexts, totalitarianism from
authoritarianism, and, in the phenomenal contexts, republicanism from
parliamentarianism.
3. Likewise, to examine good and evil in
relation to economics is to distinguish the absolute good (noumenal
subjectivity with regard to inner light) of the inner Antispirit from the
absolute evil (noumenal objectivity with regard to inner fire) of the inner
Antifather, while distinguishing the relative good (phenomenal subjectivity
with regard to inner earth) of the inner Antimother from the relative evil
(phenomenal objectivity with regard to inner ice) of the inner Antison.
4. Hence one is
distinguishing, in the noumenal contexts, corporatism (Centre trusteeship) from
communism (state socialism), and, in the phenomenal contexts, socialism from
capitalism.
5. The Space of religion vis-à-vis the Time of
science with regard to the noumenal planes, but the Mass of politics vis-à-vis
the Volume of economics with regard to the phenomenal planes. Always allowing, however,
for distinctions, within any given quadruplicity, between the genuine, or per se, and 'bovaryized', or pseudo, modes of
the contexts in question.
6. Religion is most true to itself in absolute
good, whereas science is most 'true' to itself in absolute evil. Politics is most true to itself in relative
good, whereas economics is most 'true' to itself in relative evil. This is because, while religion and science are
essentially noumenal contexts, politics and economics are basically phenomenal.
7. When religion is paramount ... in maximum
Space (transcendentalism), science, politics, and economics are in their
'bovaryized' modes of quasi-Space.
8. When science is paramount ... in maximum Time
(naturalism), religion, politics, and economics are in their 'bovaryized' modes
of quasi-Time.
9. When politics is paramount ... in maximum
Mass (republicanism), economics, religion, and science are in their
'bovaryized' modes of quasi-Mass.
10. When economics is paramount ... in maximum
Volume (capitalism), politics, religion, and science are in their 'bovaryized'
modes of quasi-Volume.
11. When religion is paramount, as in maximum
Space, we have the '
12. When science is paramount, as in maximum Time,
we have the 'Kingdom of the Devil', which is absolutely evil (hellish).
13. When politics is paramount, as in maximum
Mass, we have the '
14. When economics is paramount, as in maximum
Volume, we have the '
15. The Second Coming is about the establishment
of a society in which religion is paramount ... in maximum Space
(transcendentalism), thereby necessitating 'bovaryized' modes of science,
politics, and economics which will effectively harmonize with it in the service
and development of the '
16. Such a religious transcendentalism requires
nothing less than idealistic science, totalitarian politics, and corporate
economics, all of which will be dovetailed into its overall ideological
structure, just as religious humanism, realist science, and socialist economics
are dovetailed into the overall ideological structure of political
republicanism; or religious nonconformism, materialist science, and
parliamentary politics dovetailed into the overall ideological structure of
economic capitalism; or religious fundamentalism, authoritarian politics, and
communist economics dovetailed into the overall ideological structure of
scientific naturalism.
CYCLE THIRTEEN
1. What one perceives through one's senses is
not the concept of an object but the object itself; the concept follows from
the application of mind.
2. I do not see a computer in front of me, but
an object which my mind recognizes as a computer. Likewise, I do not hear a car in the street
but a sound which my mind interprets as a car.
3. Mind is both subjective and objective, and
therefore while my computer exists in my mind to the extent that the latter has
recognized the object corresponding to it, the computer also exists where it is
in my room by dint of the mind's ability to project itself into space and, as
it were, conceptualize externally. Were the
computer only in my head, it would not also exist in my room, but would be an
imaginative projection or fantasy on my part.
Thus as far as my mind is concerned, the computer is both internal (as
conceptualized image) and external (as conceptualized object). It is only an object (and not a computer) to
my eyes, which do not have the ability to conceptualize. Of course, this applies to the senses in
general, which are scientific instruments dependent upon the ability of mind to
interpret a wide variety of phenomena - at any rate, such would be the case
from a scientific viewpoint. For the
converse situation of that in which the senses serve the mind would be rather
more economic in character, while mind independent of the senses smacks of a
religious standpoint.
4. We are habituated to conceiving of the mind
as being in the brain and encompassing, besides consciousness, both
subconscious and superconscious, not to mention unconscious, dimensions. In fact, it is self-evident that mind is both
more and less than simple consciousness.
But while we should allow for dimensions within the brain which
correspond to the above-mentioned psychic distinctions, it should be understood
that while mind per se, or consciousness, is indeed situated within the brain as
a sort of psychic attribute of brain activity, both the subconscious per se
and the superconscious per se, not to forget the unconscious per se,
correspond to attributes which have nothing whatsoever to do with the brain
but, on the contrary, everything to do with other organs - namely the
subconscious per se with the heart, the superconscious per
se with the lungs, and the unconscious per se with the womb (and, by
implication, the sex organs generally).
Hence the subconscious per se, corresponding to the 'psychic'
attribute of the heart, namely the soul, should be carefully distinguished from
the cerebral subconscious, which is, rather, a subdivision of the mind
(consciousness). Likewise the
superconscious per se, corresponding to the 'psychic' attribute of the
lungs, namely the spirit, should be carefully distinguished from the cerebral
superconscious, which is simply a subdivision of the mind. Similarly, the unconscious per se,
corresponding to the 'psychic' attribute of the womb, namely the will, should
be carefully distinguished from the cerebral unconscious, which, again, is
merely a subdivision of the mind.
5. Hence while consciousness per se
is indeed of the mind or, rather, of the mind in relation to the brain (with
particular reference, I contend, to the right midbrain, the dominant part of
the brain), the subconscious per se is of the heart, the superconscious per
se of the lungs, and the unconscious per se of the womb. Doubtless a further correlation exists
between the subconscious per se and the cerebral subconscious (situated
in the backbrain), the superconscious per se and the cerebral
superconscious (situated in the forebrain), and the unconscious per se
and the cerebral unconscious (situated in the left midbrain).
CYCLE FOURTEEN
1. It is necessary to have a self, and therefore
to be developing the mind in a superconscious direction, before one can lose
that self in the universal self which is the superconscious per se. It is necessary to pass through Purgatory, as
it were, before one can get to Heaven.
2. For those who are too cerebral to find the
superconscious per se particularly attractive, the cerebral superconscious,
with its artificial visionary experience, is the next best thing, providing it
is regarded as a means to a higher end rather than as an end-in-itself.
3. Even the cerebral quasi-superconscious ... of
mind emptied of thought ... can be of avail in the development of spirituality
by reducing the degree of (intellectual) mind, and thus bringing one closer to
the possibility of the superconscious per se.
4. Unfortunately, thoughtful mind is not the
self but the intellectual not-self which, on the border with fantasies, can tip
over into the soulful not-self of the cerebral subconscious, as one slips, via
sleep, into dreams, thereby passing from the phenomenal to the noumenal realm
of psychic activity.
5. An LSD trip, or experience of artificial
visionary enlightenment, is really to the self what dreams are to the not-self,
which is to say, an experience on the border with a different order of
consciousness altogether.
6. Just as the cerebral superconscious (of LSD
trips) can lead to the superconscious per se, situated in the lungs,
so, by a contrary tendency, the cerebral subconscious (of dreams) can lead to
the subconscious per se, situated in the heart, and even, by a curious
paradox, to the unconscious per se, as in the event of a so-called 'wet
dream', wherein the body is erotically involved.
7. Whereas the cerebral subconscious revels in dreams,
the cerebral unconscious is responsible for all those subliminal processes
which take place in the body independently of conscious volition. It is also the 'storehouse' of concepts and
images which both the cerebral conscious and subconscious minds make use of as
and when directed, pretty much as exploiters, whether economic or scientific,
make use of people to further their own ends.
8. The cerebral unconscious is a 'storehouse'
which, like the unconscious per se, manifests the will in its various
subliminal permutations, a will which, as in society, can be exploited by both
the intellect and the soul to conscious or subconscious ends.
9. Like the
unconscious, both cerebral and physical, people are regularly exploited, in
open societies, by elements corresponding to both the conscious/right midbrain
and the subconscious/backbrain, whom we identify as bourgeoisie and
aristocracy.
10. Such exploiters tend to co-operate with one
another to their mutual benefit, the economic exploiters liaising with their
scientific counterparts on a sort of lunar-to-solar basis.
11. Broadly, free enterprise, which is nothing
more nor less than the freedom of individuals driven by their not-self to
exploit the masses, works best when economics combines with science to
technologically achieve the maximum approximation to and emulation of solar
fission, so that the reactive and explosive result, be it in film or music or
sport or pornography or computer games, induces a correlative quasi-heliotropic
'sucking-up' from the heathen masses below which, if sufficiently intense (and
therefore populist), can only maximize the financial dividends, and thus enable
the exploiters to reap their capitalist harvest of maximum profit. Such, basically, is the rationale of free
enterprise, and it is the most cynically immoral system that has ever been
devised for debasing society and enslaving the mass man to diabolical criteria.
12. It is not the People who create a market
demand for such evil products, but their diabolical exploiters who, through
cunning and ruthless advertising, foist these products upon them ... to the
detriment of the People's moral wellbeing.
Thus enslaved to market forces beyond their control, the People writhe
tortuously in the grip of immoral devils who know how to make them dance to
their diabolical tune, while cunningly pretending that it is the People
themselves who lead the dance and whose will they humbly respect. In reality, these unscrupulous exploiters
have no more respect for the People's will than the cerebral subconscious has
for the will of the unconscious when it wrenches concepts and images from it in
pursuit of its own phantasmagoric ends.
13. Free enterprise is not only the enemy of the
People; it is the enemy, more particularly, of God. For by constraining them to the Devil, it
prevents the People from aspiring towards God.
They remain the realistic playthings of materialistic and naturalistic
powers that, like the moon and the sun in relation to the earth, keep them in
subjection to their immoral ends. Only
when the People are saved from exploitation will the World be ready for God,
but not before! Only Socialism can
liberate them from capitalist exploitation.
Only Socialism can prepare them for Social Transcendentalism!
CYCLE FIFTEEN
1. Pornography is a scientific perversion of sex
which enslaves women to the heathen light ... of a photographic
reproduction. In fact, pornography
reverses the usual roles of the sexes by placing woman-as-model in the 'starry
firmament' of photographic images which, by dint of their glossy nature, induce
a quasi-heliotropic 'sucking-up' of men (more likely to be effeminate) from
below!
2. One might say that pornography is to lustful
promiscuity what Marx was to Bolshevism, or even Jehovah to Satan - the cosmic
backdrop, as it were, to a solar 'fall'.
3. Pornography is basically more a thing of the
light (photography) than of the fire (lust).
Nevertheless it is inconceivable that promiscuity would exist to
anything like the same extent without a pornographic precondition.
4. There are two main kinds of promiscuity: the
first kind exists in direct relation to pornography itself, as a masturbatory
deference to the photographic image; and the second kind exists in an indirect relation
to pornography, as a sexual imposition upon woman-as-nature. Thus it could be argued that where the first
is Bolshevik, the second is effectively Soviet (taking that word in its
post-Bolshevik but pre-Socialist sense).
The first is absolutely Satanic, the second relatively so.
5. Beyond the quasi-heliotropic 'sucking-up' of
the Cursed Whore to promiscuous males ... is the socialistic lesbianism of what
may be called 'republican woman', which contrasts with the capitalistic
homosexuality of 'parliamentary man'.
Hence where lesbianism is the sexuality of the Antimother, homosexuality
is the sexuality of the Antichrist.
6. 'Socialist sex', viz. lesbianism, contrasts
with 'Soviet sex', viz. heterosexual promiscuity, as Pop with Rock 'n' Roll -
the former basically feminine, the latter both masculine and feminine.
7. 'Capitalist sex', viz. homosexuality,
contrasts with 'Bolshevik sex', viz. masturbatory promiscuity, as Rap with Jazz
- the former exclusively masculine, the latter submasculine.
8. At the back of 'Bolshevik sex' is the Marxism
of pornography, which stands to masturbation, in its photographic voyeurism, as
the Blues to Jazz.
9. The Bolshevism of Trad Jazz, or acoustic Jazz
(a proton equivalence), is ideologically antecedent to the Sovietism of Modern
Jazz and/or Fusion music, which, employing one or more electric instruments, is
contiguous with the Socialist Sovietism (male-dominated) of Rock 'n' Roll and
the Soviet Socialism (female-dominated) of Rock-Pop.
CYCLE SIXTEEN
1. The Time of the heart vis-à-vis the Space of
the lungs, with regard to the absolutism of noumenal distinctions. But the Volume of the brain
vis-à-vis the Mass of the body (womb), with regard to the relativity of
phenomenal distinctions.
2. I would never claim to be on the side of
'evil religion' against, say, 'good science', the Father vis-à-vis the
Jehovahesque Clear Light of the Void, but I could not side with the latter.
3. Even Nazism was a sort of 'evil religion'
which, rooted in Fatherland fundamentalism, saw itself fighting a kind of Holy
War against the scientific 'evils' of Marxism, Bolshevism, Judaism, etc.
4. I have long believed that Hitler was the
Germanic manifestation of the Second Coming, and that the Holocaust was
effectively a Nazi version of the Last Judgement.
5. Nazism was no friend of economics or
politics, capitalism or republicanism, but an 'evil religion' which, following
the defeat of the economic and political middle-grounds,
swung into action against its real enemy - the 'evil science' of Bolshevism.
6. As a basically evil,
or fundamentalist, manifestation of religion, Islam has also launched so-called
Holy Wars against its scientific antithesis, principally Soviet Communism.
7. Unlike Fundamentalism,
which is rooted in the Father or some such embodiment of pride and strength,
Transcendentalism could never launch a 'Holy War'. Nothing defies the concept of war more than a
religion centred in the Holy Spirit of Heaven, a religion which, being true, is
beyond war ... in the 'peace that surpasses all understanding'.
8. Social Transcendentalism will never seek to
advance the Holy Spirit of Heaven through war.
Rather will it seek to deliver religious peoples from the Father, and
thus from the possibility of raging 'Holy Wars'.
9. The only instance in which it might be
relatively permissible for Social Transcendentalist peoples to offer armed
resistance ... would be in the defence of Social Transcendentalism from outside
interference, but even then only as a last resort! Yet such a defence would not amount to a
'Holy War', since the Father wouldn't be at stake, but, rather, to a sort of
'Unholy Peace'.
10. Thus if the worst came to the worst, it would
be better to wage an 'Unholy Peace' ... of propaganda and other
(police-centred) struggle against outside interference ... than simply
capitulate and allow evil to triumph over good.
11. Such an 'Unholy Peace', however, would be very
much the exception to the rule; for the rule of 'Holy Peace' is alone
commensurate with the aims and intentions of Social Transcendentalism - the
ideology of what is effectively if not literally, at this point in time, a true
world religion ... of the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
CYCLE SEVENTEEN
1. The cerebral superconscious stands to the
superconscious per se as LSD (or some equivalent synthetic hallucinogen) to
transcendental meditation or, in sexual terms, CD-ROM erotica to plastic
inflatables.
2. Unity with the superconscious lifts one above
consciousness to a supra-conscious level of spiritual beatitude, wherein the
self is one with the universal self.
Such a oneness is the Supreme Being ... of the
Holy Spirit of Heaven.
3. The truth of the Holy Spirit of Heaven is as
far removed from the illusion of the Clear Light of the Void ... as it is
possible to be - the gnostical truth of air as opposed to the mystical illusion
of light.
4. Since light is
everywhere the main enemy of spirit, it will be necessary for Social
Transcendentalism to devise stratagems for curtailing and reducing its
influence, in order that the truth of spirit may develop more fully.
5. Those who are rooted in the light must pass
through the 'Black Hole' of democratic darkness before there can be any possibility
of them emerging, reborn, into the spirit, following a vote for religious
sovereignty.
6. Those who are saved
to the spirit can never be damned to the light; for illusion is beneath the
pale of truth.
7. The intellectual not-self is antinatural
(conscious) and contrasts with the naturalism (unconsciousness) of the sensual
self, whereas the soulful not-self is subnatural (subconscious) and contrasts
with the supernaturalism (superconsciousness) of the spiritual self.
8. The supernatural is
beyond nature, like a superman beyond woman, whereas the subnatural is behind
nature, like a subman behind man.
9. The supernatural is
idealist and/or transcendentalist, depending whether (relative to alpha or
omega, negative or positive distinctions) it is illusory or truthful, whereas
the subnatural is naturalist and/or fundamentalist, depending whether (again
relative to antithetical distinctions) it is weak or strong.
10. The antinatural is
materialist and/or nonconformist, depending whether (relative to alpha or
omega, negative or positive distinctions) it is ignorant or knowledgeable,
whereas the natural is realist and/or humanist, depending whether (again
relative to antithetical distinctions) it is ugly or beautiful.
11. The ancient Hebrews
were forbidden, in their Old Testament Bible, the 'tree of knowledge', and
subsequently rejected Christ, who corresponds, in his purgatorial
antinaturalism, to a knowledgeable nonconformism.
12. Knowledge for its own sake, rather than in
regard to the self, breeds Nonconformism, which runs contrary to the World and
the Jehovahesque injunction placed upon the ancient Hebrews to 'increase and
multiply'. Christian celibacy would have
been anathema to the Jews.
13. If knowledge for its own sake, or knowledge of
knowledge within the intellectual not-self, breeds Nonconformism, then
ignorance breeds Parliamentarianism and a sort of inverted celibacy, whereby
carnal pressures are released homosexually ... in due Antichristic fashion.
14. Thus while the antinaturalism of Christian
nonconformism is in celibacy vis-à-vis woman (though not, however, in pederasty
vis-à-vis children in what is patently a decadent mode of nonconformist
antinaturalism), the antinaturalism of Antichristian materialism is in sodomy,
the iceman's answer to the mind.
CYCLE EIGHTEEN
1. The tragedy of the Holy Ghost is that it
cannot become the Holy Spirit of Heaven while Heaven (air) is hogged by the
Father.
2. The tragedy of the Mother is that she cannot be
saved to the Holy Spirit of Heaven while her breasts are giving suck to the
Son.
3. Heaven is likely to continue being hogged by
fathers while they are free to enter into carnal relations with women, and thus
stand to their partners as the Father to the Mother, subverting air to the
service of love's passion by using it as a vehicle with which to fan the
inflamed heart to greater emotional heights.
4. If Heaven is to become a reality, a time must
surely come when, with a view to developing artificial reproductive methods,
males are subject to vasectomy more or less as a matter of ideological
principle.
5. Likewise, if women are not to remain the
victims of their breasts, a time must come when females are subject to
mastectomy as a matter of ideological course.
6. Saved from their testicles, men will be less
disposed to imposing themselves upon women, and therefore cease to behave in
the manner of fathers.
7. Saved from their breasts, women will be more
disposed to taking the Holy Spirit of Heaven seriously, and will therefore
cease to behave in the manner of mothers.
8. Reproduction and nurturing will increasingly
devolve upon science, which will be pledged to the development of artificial
alternatives to those natural processes which have traditionally characterized
the animal foundations of human life.
9. Eventually, science will supplant nature as
the means by which life is reproduced and nurtured, leading, ultimately,
towards post-human life forms in the Millennium, the coming period of 'heaven
on earth'.
10. In such fashion, life
will be removed from the shackles of humanism and handed over to the care of
methods which will advance the cause of transcendentalism.
11. We have only just begun to enter upon this
alternative course to natural reproduction, and have
yet to make it a matter of ideological principle.
12. Many of the alternatives which are now
optional will become mandatory in the course of our future progression towards
higher stages of evolution.
13. In this respect, we
have only just begun to scratch the surface of a whole New World, which will
bear no resemblance to the one humanity has been accustomed to inhabiting since
time immemorial.
CYCLE NINETEEN
1. The British do not like
snobs because, being mostly slobs and yobs, they are accustomed to 'sucking up'
to nobs, and, climatic factors notwithstanding, are not prepared to do violence
to themselves, after the manner of the 'born-again' saint.
2. To be a snob, one
has to have both the ability and courage to go against the grain of the
philistine majority, and think for oneself.
3. Slobs do not think for themselves, yobs allow
others to think for them, and nobs rely on their instincts to avoid thought as
much as possible.
4. Thinking is only dangerous to the man who
cannot control it; to the man who can, it is merely a tool.
5. The best thought is a key which unlocks the
door into truth.
6. Ultimately, truth liberates one from
thinking; for it transcends thought, as Heaven transcends Purgatory. Yet, when all's said and done, one cannot get
to truth except through thought.
7. The man who thinks he has the truth without
ever having thought deeply and systematically about it ... is a self-deceiving
liar!
8. Those who cannot think
their way to the truth are more likely to discover something - though not all -
about it either through writing, reading, or talking.
9. The best thinkers are generally the worst
readers (for the former occupation tends to exclude the latter), while,
conversely, the worst writers are generally the best talkers (for the latter
occupation tends to exclude the former).
10. You can focus meditative breath at the
so-called 'crown centre' in the brain but, ultimately, such breath will only be
properly focused in the lungs, the seat of the spirit.
11. Focusing meditative breath at the 'crown
centre' is, I believe, a 'bovaryization' of spirituality relevant to the brain,
and thus to an intellectual person.
12. Focusing meditative
breath at the throat is, I believe, a 'bovaryization' of spirituality relevant
to the heart, and thus to a soulful person.
13. Focusing meditative
breath at the stomach is, I believe, a 'bovaryization' of spirituality relevant
to the womb, and thus to a sensual person.
14. One can focus meditative breath at one or a
number of different places but, ultimately, meditation will be most centred in
the lungs, the 'temple of the Holy Spirit'.
15. He whose meditative breath is most comfortably
and naturally focused on the lungs is truly a spiritual person, not one whose
approach to spirituality is necessarily constrained by some other - and
possibly contrary - allegiance.
16. The soulful person (rooted in the heart), the
intellectual person (rooted in the brain), and the sensual person (centred in
the body) will all 'bovaryize' spirituality from their respective standpoints,
but it is still better that they should approach spirituality in such
paradoxical fashions than not be spiritual at all!
CYCLE TWENTY
1. The 'sign of the cross', as made by
Catholics, confirms a subjective tendency, in keeping with the nature of
genuine religion (even in its phenomenal guise). Protestants, on the other hand, are
comparatively bereft of religious subjectivity.
2. The very word 'Protestant' suggests a
negative mentality, a mentality of protesting against
something or, more specifically, of being rooted in a protest against
Catholic universality, and hence by implication the
3. The Protestant is
therefore a rather negative and demonstrative individual who, due to an
incapacity to live or understand religious subjectivity, rejects Catholicism
and its promise and hope of a better world (Heaven) to come. For such a 'better world' can only be
established on the basis of a higher order (noumenal rather than phenomenal) of
subjectivity.
4. I have elsewhere effectively argued that
there is no moral justification for Protestantism, since its purgatorial
rejection of the World inevitably leads (given the objective nature of the
plane in question) to lunar materialism, and therefore I resolutely maintain
that the Reformation was an heretical aberration which paved the way for the
worst excesses of materialism and naturalism such that, in the twentieth
century, came to damnable fruition.
5. In fact, so little can Protestantism be
morally justified, in view of its objective nature, that one is led to infer a
class and/or racial disposition of certain people(s) towards an economic, if
not a scientific, hegemony, with the rejection of religion as its logical
corollary.
6. Even Catholicism may only be - as I in fact
happen to believe - a 'bovaryization' of religion relevant to a political
hegemony, whether in terms, traditionally, of Catholic monarchism or,
subsequently, of republicanism.
7. Certainly, Catholicism is less than true
religion in relation to the Social Transcendentalism which the Messianic
equivalent of a Second Coming would establish on the basis of mass religious sovereignty,
and the concomitant acceptance, by the People, of the Holy Spirit of Heaven as
the One True God.
8. One could describe Catholicism as beautiful
religion, given the importance of the Blessed Virgin as the focal-point of
phenomenal subjectivity in relation to the World. Yet, even then, this beautiful religion is
diluted, if not vitiated, by Old-Testament influences which hark back towards
scientific illusion and the correlative subversion of religious truth.
9. There is, within Christianity, a terrible
struggle and tension between, on the one hand, the scientific illusions of the
mystical Old Testament and, on the other hand, the religious truths of the
gnostical New Testament (as in the case of an 'eye-for-an-eye' vis-à-vis
'turning the other cheek'), with the further complication that the Father in
relation to Christ is not Jehovah, but a much more personal Creator who stands
at a fundamentalist remove from the transpersonal 'Creator of the Universe' and
His cosmic idealism.
10. What condemns Christianity, in the final
analysis, is not the shortcomings of the New Testament in relation to Christ,
nor even the cult of the Blessed Virgin, but the hopeless muddle and
ambivalence which result from its accommodation, through the Old Testament, of scientific
illusion. The cosmic idealism of Jehovah
acts as a brake and effective block on the development of religious truth to
its optimum level in the gnostical transcendentalism of the Holy Spirit of
Heaven. Only when mankind are freed,
through Messianic deliverance, from the scientific tyranny of the Bible ...
will religion come truly into its own, consigning the Hebraic Clear Light of
the Void to the 'rubbish tip' of cosmic idealism.
11. Despite the triumph of science in the
twentieth century, including the victory of the Anglo-American/Soviet alliance
against Nazi Germany, religion still survives on a basis, relative to the
Catholic New Testament, which remains open to and hopeful of the Truth,
and thus the establishment, in due Messianic course, of 'Kingdom Come'.
12. It could be argued that the more decadent and
even barbarous the Protestant-dominated West has become, the more the Old
Testament has eclipsed the New Testament in effective usage, until, with the
triumph of Anglo-American scientific neo-paganism, even the Old Testament has
had to make way for older and more idealistic texts of the sort favoured by
devotees of the Clear Light of the Void.
CYCLE TWENTY-ONE
1. Protestantism led to democracy, as protests
against the Church were followed, in due course, by demonstrations against the
State.
2. The Church exorcised demons from demented
people, whereas the State encourages demonstrative people to demon-strate.
3. The best demon-strators are failed
Protest-ants, or Protestants who no longer protest against the (Catholic)
Church but, in their secular decadence, demonstrate against the (Protestant)
State.
4. The arrest of demonstrators by the State is
the secular equivalent of the exorcism of demons by the Church.
5. The
6. Politics is a woman, who panders to bodily needs,
whereas economics is a man, who generates wealth.
7. The Catholic State,
guided by the Church, has as its ideal freedom (from want) and justice for all,
whereas the
8. It is impossible to reconcile the Protestant
State with the Catholic Church or, conversely, the
9. Wealth for some as opposed to justice for all
... is the heretical line which divides Protestant economics from Catholic
politics, ensuring that the Protestant State and the Catholic Church remain
forever apart.
10. The relationship between Catholic State and
Church is akin to a man who hands over his earnings to his wife's keeping in
order that they may be evenly distributed throughout his family, while the
relationship between Protestant Church and State is akin to a woman who gives
her body to her husband's keeping in order that he may shower clothes and
jewels upon it in confirmation of his wealth.
The former relationship exists to exemplify the political will of the
Church, the latter relationship ... to glorify the economic power of the State.
11. The Protestant State
is less a vehicle for political administration than a framework of economic
exploitation, in contrast to the overriding political concerns - and objectives
- of the
12. Just as the Catholic Church, with its
political concerns of freedom and justice for all, is more genuine than the
Protestant Church, so, by a converse token, the Protestant State is, given its
economic elitism, more genuine than the Catholic State.
13. Behind the (economic) State is the diabolic
Kingdom of a scientific hegemony, while beyond the (political) Church is the
divine 'Kingdom' (Centre) of a religious hegemony.
14. Where the State per se
is phenomenally objective, the Kingdom is (or was) noumenally objective. And where the Church per se is
phenomenally subjective, the Centre is (or will be) noumenally subjective.
15. The Centre, or context of religious
sovereignty, will arise, phoenix-like, from the political ashes of the Catholic
Church and its Republican State when the time comes for the Resurrection (from
the living death) to the Life Eternal.

First (in spirit).
CYCLE TWENTY-FIVE
1. The Word is not only a tool to enable one to
express truth (or a specific ideology); it is also a weapon to strike fear into
the hearts and minds of pharisees!
2. Although relatively good for their
practitioners, the Arts tend to be bad for the general public, the reason being
that they force people back upon their senses, thereby enslaving them to
appearances.
3. It is much less rewarding to view a painting
than to paint one; much less rewarding to listen to music than to compose it;
much less rewarding to develop a taste for literature than to write it; much
less rewarding to touch sculpture than to sculpt it. In fact, if truth be told, it is effectively
self-defeating.
4. While there may be some
moral justification for people actively to pursue some art form, there is
little or no moral justification for selling the resultant product on a
commercial basis, and thereby inducing people to 'suck-up' in an orgy of
sensual self-immolation.
5. The more commercialized art products become
the less bearing they have on the service and/or development of beauty (much
less truth), in consequence of which the public are degraded by the paradoxical
spectacle of science posing as art.
6. There is no art in commercially ripping
people off; rather, it is a science which panders to the senses and reaps its
due material rewards.
7. Just as the Arts are corrupted by commerce
and reduced, despite all the glare of publicity, to a mere shadow of their
genuine manifestations, so religion is likewise corrupted by it and transformed
into a mystical science.
8. 'God' for the average heliotropic devotee of
commercial religion is not 'in the self', but most assuredly 'out there' ... in
the celluloid and platinum 'stars'.
9. 'God', too, has been 'brought low' by
commerce and transformed into a concept that hides behind films, like a
director pulling strings.
10. Basically, there is nothing Christian about
the Anglo-American West; Christ died before the birth of
11. In celluloid terms,
cinematic monotheism is monochromatic and cinematic polytheism ...
polychromatic.
12. Preaching Christianity through film is a
contradiction in terms which simply results in the Christian message of
spiritual rebirth (from light to air) being subverted and subsumed within the
overall neo-pagan culture of light-dominated media.
13. Television evangelism, so prevalent in the
USA, is a form of Christian paganism which testifies to the moral bankruptcy of
religion in the modern age.
14. Even churches are now run as a business, with
strict financial accountability (to the State) with regard, for instance, to
tourism and trade in religious artefacts!
15. Not the least sacrilegious of modern trends is
the increasing prevalence with which cameras of one kind or another are free to
poke their lenses around the interiors of churches and record, for the cultural
bewitchment of the occult-slavering masses, a variety of ungodly goings-on -
from vandalism and theft to outright murder.
16. There is nothing, I repeat nothing, Christian
about the contemporary Anglo-American West.
Only a rampant commercial neo-paganism which holds the
masses in thrall to its 'star'-worshipping idolatry.
17. A product is worth as much, or as little, as
the price that is attached to it, and no more!
18. Any intrinsic value a product may have is soon
compromised, and even eclipsed, by the commercial value which is attached to
it, like a millstone around its moral neck.
19. Few products can survive unscathed the price
tag that is attached to them; most are killed off by it as a matter of
commercial necessity.

CYCLE TWENTY-NINE
1. What puts cricket beneath the Gaelic Irish
pale, morally speaking, is the centrifugal freedom which permits the batsman to
strike the ball at any angle around the ground.
2. It is precisely because of its centrifugal
freedom in regard to batting strokes ... that cricket could never be an Irish
game, but, on the contrary, one reflecting the British, and in particular English,
openness to alpha-stemming aggression.
3. If cricket is fundamentally immoral on
account of its openness to alpha-stemming aggression of an overly objective and
centrifugal character, it is arguably less immoral than, say, baseball, which
is bereft of stumps and therefore effectively more naturalistic than
materialistic, reflecting the American tendency, in particular, towards stellar
and/or solar rather than lunar criteria.
4. Baseball is thus, in a sense,
more extreme than cricket, just as the sun is more extreme than the moon, and
barbarism more extreme than civilization.
5. Baseball, in which the ball can be hit in
virtually any frontal direction, would be no-less morally unattractive from,
say, a Catholic Irish standpoint than cricket, given its centrifugal freedoms.
6. When the Irish use a bat or, rather, stick,
as in Hurling, it is in the focused manner of one who aims to score pints
between the posts of a goal.
7. There is a sense in which sport is a feminine
form of war no less than dance a feminine form of sex.
8. War and sex are
masculine activities, sport and dance, by contrast, feminine ones.
9. It is tempting to see America as barbarous
where Britain is simply civilized decadence; but, in point of fact,
10. It was perhaps the fact of its cosmic
civilization, so often characterized by Neo-Orientalism, which made - and I
would guess continues to make - America especially sensitive to Bolshevik
barbarism, as though in Jehovahesque recoil from a
Satanic 'fall'.
11. The 'light' of America feared the 'fire' of
Bolshevism/Sovietism, even given the considerable amount of its own fiery
culture and the threat to pagan civilization which this necessarily poses.
12. Television against
computers would be a realistic equivalent of the Satanic threat to Jehovah,
whereas the naturalistic one is probably cinema against virtual reality.
13. Magazines against comic books would be a
materialistic equivalent of the satanic threat to Jehovah, whereas the
idealistic one is probably cocaine, or other such chemical drugs, against
light-centred meditation.
14. My hunch is that the idealistic context ... of
cocaine against meditation is what most accords with a barbarous threat to
American civilization from within itself, since naturalism, materialism, and
realism are effectively peripheral to cosmic civilization.
15. Sovietism will always be the sun from which
the American stars recoiled in horror of a 'fall' into barbarism, just as
Socialism is the earth from which the lunar civilization of Britain recoils in
fear of a 'fall' into nature.
16. It is as though sport fears war and sex fears
dance ... where these two dominating types of Western civilization are
concerned.
17. For, of course,
barbarism is a threat to culture, even negative culture, no less than nature to
civilization.
CYCLE THIRTY
1. The dance of nature contrasts no less with the
sex of civilization ... than the war of barbarism with the sport of culture.
2. Nature is the framework in which the dance of
mundane life is celebrated, while civilization is the framework in which the
sex of overworldly death is conducted.
3. Barbarism is the framework in which the war
of netherworldly death is conducted, while culture is the framework in which
the spirit of Eternal Life is celebrated.
4. The Devil rules war
as man governs sex, woman represents dance, and God leads sport.
5. The more sport, the
less war; the more dance, the less sex; conversely the less dance, the more
sex; the less sport, the more war.
CYCLE THIRTY-ONE
1. Behind, and
therefore anterior to, Christian 'good and evil' is the absolute evil ... of
pagan strength.
2. Beyond, and
therefore posterior to, Christian 'good and evil' is the absolute good ... of
transcendental truth.
3. Christian 'good and evil' is divisible
between nonconformist knowledge and humanist beauty, the former 'evil' from a
Catholic standpoint but 'good' from a Protestant one, the latter 'evil' from a
Protestant standpoint but 'good' from a Catholic one.
4. The Catholic concept of 'good and evil',
which, being Christian, is necessarily phenomenal, was a humanist revolt
against the absolute evil of pagan strength, rooted in the Father (or, more
correctly, His pagan equivalent), which made the phenomenal subjectivity of the
Mother, identifiable with beauty, symbolic of goodness, thereby elevating the
worldly 'Meek' at the expense of the netherworldly 'Proud', in deference to a
Christian 'rebirth' and effective transvaluation of values.
5. With Catholicism,
the womb replaces the heart as the focus of moral virtue - virtue being
phenomenally good as opposed, in pagan contexts, to noumenally evil.
6. Hence, for Catholicism, the Christic context
of Purgatory, identifiable with knowledge, is phenomenally evil, given the
'objective' nature of the purgatorial plane, and Christ must accordingly stay
close to the World, and hence the Mother, if He is to pass muster
as a moral exemplar and champion of the Meek.
7. Protestantism reverses the Christian concept
of 'good and evil' by conceiving, erroneously, of knowledge as 'good' and
beauty as 'evil', thereby making a moral virtue out of phenomenal evil (knowledge)
in an unequivocally purgatorial allegiance which isolates Christ from the
Mother and effectively condemns the latter to a false identification with evil,
the consequences of which can only be oppressive for the World.
8. With Protestantism,
the brain becomes the focus of moral virtue while the womb is castigated, along
with sex, as moral vice, and this contrary to the fact that it is knowledge
rather than beauty which is phenomenally evil, given its correlation with
purgatorial 'objectivity'.
9. The consequence of the Protestant heresy of
conceiving of knowledge, contrary to Biblical teachings with regard to the
'forbidden tree', as 'good' and beauty as 'evil' ... is a puritanical recoil
from and persecution of sex from the false perspective of its own purgatorial
isolation from the World.
10. Since the phenomenal subjectivity of the womb,
and hence the Mother, is considered 'evil' from a Protestant standpoint, Hell
for Protestants is 'down below' with, as often as not, the heaviness of the
World, viz. sex, the flesh, the womb, etc.
11. In reality, the World
is a phenomenal heaven in its phenomenal subjectivity and fleshy heaviness
which is less an evil than a lesser (in relation to airy lightness) good. It is the overly purgatorial realm of
knowledge which is relatively evil and thus a phenomenal hell which, in the
attractive fatality of damnation, tends, with time, towards the noumenal hell
of absolute evil, the heart eclipsing the brain as the Father replaces Christ
in the drift of phenomenal objectivity towards its noumenal counterpart.
12. It has been said, not without reason, that
knowledge is power, and certainly this is so to the extent that knowledge tends
towards strength when used independently and in defiance of beauty, and thus
the possibility of truth.
13. Analogous to knowledge being power, one could
of course argue, echoing Keats, that beauty is truth, though only to the extent
that we acknowledge a parallel drift of phenomenal subjectivity towards its
noumenal counterpart as, tempered by the right kind of (Messianic) knowledge,
the Holy Spirit supersedes the Mother, and the noumenal heaven, centred in the
lungs, of absolute good replaces the phenomenal heaven, centred in the womb, of
relative good - the 'good' as upheld and practised by Catholic Christianity.
CYCLE THIRTY-TWO
1. To be 'beyond good and evil' is not to be
indifferent to either good or evil, but to be given, instead, to the noumenal
subjectivity, through truth, of absolute good.
It is to have abandoned Christian relativity for transcendental
absolutism.
2. The man who is 'beyond good and evil' is no
longer human, still less inhuman and/or subhuman, but effectively superhuman,
and thus divine.
3. Protestant inhumanism contrasts with Catholic
humanism as the phenomenal objectivity of knowledge with the phenomenal
subjectivity of beauty, while fundamentalist subhumanism contrasts with
transcendentalist superhumanism as the noumenal objectivity of strength with
the noumenal subjectivity of truth.
4. The relative evil, germane to knowledge, of
Protestant inhumanism contrasts with the relative good, germane to beauty, of
Catholic humanism, while the absolute evil, germane to strength, of
fundamentalist subhumanism contrasts with the absolute good, germane to truth,
of transcendentalist superhumanism.
5. The distinction
between objectivity and subjectivity, whether noumenal or phenomenal, is
effectively one of freedom and binding, the former evil, the latter good.
6. When economics and science are 'free', and
not constrained by moral considerations of either a political (phenomenal) or a
religious (noumenal) order, we have the freedom so dear to the Anglo-American
dominated so-called 'Free World', with its economic (capitalist free-trade) and
scientific (technological and chemical) hegemonies.
7. The traditional revolt of Protestants in
8. Both political and religious hegemonies, as
represented by republicanism in the former context and by transcendentalism in
the latter one, reject the sort of objective freedoms so dear to the Protestant
(nonconformist) and fundamentalist (Masonic) traditions, and do so, moreover,
from subjective, and therefore moral, points of view - the former phenomenal,
the latter noumenal.
9. Neither Protestantism nor Catholicism are
religiously hegemonic, but 'bovaryizations' of religion relevant to economic
(capitalist) and political (republican) hegemonies respectively. Protestantism, as we have seen, focuses upon
knowledge, and Catholicism, by contrast, upon beauty, neither of which are
truly spiritual but, rather, accommodations of religion to the intellect and
the will, the former germane to the purgatorial Overworld, the latter to the
mundane World.
10. As a worldly mode of religion, Catholicism is
first and foremost concerned with beauty, as personified by the Blessed Virgin,
and only secondarily with political or social concerns.
11. As an overworldly
mode of religion, Protestantism is first and foremost concerned with knowledge,
as exemplified in the Gospels, and only secondarily with economic concerns.
12. As a netherworldly mode of religion,
Fundamentalism is first and foremost concerned with strength, as exemplified in
soulful ritual, and only secondarily with scientific concerns.
13. As a supra-worldly (heavenly) mode of
religion, Transcendentalism is exclusively concerned with truth, as exemplified
in spiritual devotions, and not at all with scientific, economic, or political
concerns ... except insofar as these lower disciplines pander, along
appropriately 'bovaryized' lines, to its advancement.
CYCLE THIRTY-THREE
1. Just as we distinguished between religious
'good and evil', so we should distinguish between scientific 'anti-good and
anti-evil', viz. negative good and evil; economic 'inner anti-good and inner anti-evil',
viz. inner negative good and evil; and political 'outer good and outer evil',
viz. outer positive good and evil; always remembering, however, that such
distinctions are subject to both absolute and relative, or noumenal and
phenomenal, evaluations.
2. If, in religion,
absolute evil is strength and absolute good arguably truth, then, in science,
absolute anti-evil is anti-strength, viz. weakness, and absolute anti-good
arguably anti-truth, viz. illusion.
3. If, in religion,
relative evil is knowledge and relative good arguably beauty, then, in science,
relative anti-evil is anti-knowledge, viz. ignorance, and relative anti-good
arguably anti-beauty, viz. ugliness.
4. Just as, in religion, absolute evil
appertains to fundamentalism and absolute good to transcendentalism,
so, in science, absolute anti-evil appertains to naturalism and absolute
anti-good to idealism.
5. Just as, in religion, relative evil
appertains to nonconformism and relative good to humanism, so, in science,
relative anti-evil appertains to materialism and relative anti-good to realism.
6. If, in politics, absolute outer evil is outer
strength and absolute outer good arguably outer truth, then, in economics,
absolute inner anti-evil is inner anti-strength, viz. inner weakness, and
absolute inner anti-good arguably inner anti-truth, viz. inner illusion.
7. If, in politics, relative outer evil is outer
knowledge and relative outer good arguably outer beauty, then, in economics,
relative inner anti-evil is inner anti-knowledge, viz. inner ignorance, and
relative inner anti-good arguably inner anti-beauty, viz. inner ugliness.
8. Just as, in politics, absolute outer evil
appertains to authoritarianism and absolute outer good to totalitarianism, so,
in economics, absolute inner anti-evil appertains to communism and absolute
inner anti-good to corporatism.
9. Just as, in politics, relative outer evil
appertains to parliamentarianism and relative outer good to republicanism, so,
in economics, relative inner anti-evil appertains to capitalism and relative
inner anti-good to socialism.
10. With regard to the scientific and religious
quadruplicities, the negative good and evil alternatives of the former are
implicitly outer, while the positive good and evil
alternatives of the latter are implicitly inner.
11. Hence scientific anti-good and anti-evil are
really outer anti-good and anti-evil (in both phenomenal and noumenal contexts)
in relation to the inner negative alternatives of economic anti-good and
anti-evil, while religious good and evil are really inner good and evil (in
both phenomenal and noumenal contexts) in relation to the outer positive
alternatives of political good and evil.
12. In the negative, or objective, quadruplicities
the outer is clear and the inner ... unclear, viz. the Clear Light of Space
(the Void), and the Unclear Light of Heaven, whereas in the positive, or
subjective, quadruplicities, by contrast, the outer is unholy and the inner ...
holy, viz. the Unholy Spirit of Space and the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
13. We may thus distinguish the scientific
idealism of the Clear Light of Space, which is absolute anti-good, from the
economic corporatism of the Unclear Light of Heaven, which is absolute inner
anti-good, while likewise distinguishing the political totalitarianism of the
Unholy Spirit of Space, which is absolute outer good, from the religious
transcendentalism of the Holy Spirit of Heaven, which is absolute good.
