FROM PUNISHMENT TO GRACE

 

Cyclic Philosophy

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 'Kingdom of Heaven' literally comes to pass on the basis of mass religious sovereignty.

 

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 Great Britain!

 

4.    Even now, when the glorious British Empire has all but disappeared into the 'Black Hole' of the Commonwealth, the British are still fundamentally a barbarous people who fight shy of culture.

 

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, Ireland will lead the way in democratically progressing beyond republicanism towards the transcendental binding of the spirit, in religious sovereignty, to the Social Transcendentalist Centre, which is the 'Kingdom of Heaven'.

 

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 'Kingdom of God', which is absolutely good (heavenly).

 

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 'Kingdom of Woman', which is relatively good (mundane).

 

14.   When economics is paramount, as in maximum Volume, we have the 'Kingdom of Man', which is relatively evil (purgatorial).

 

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 'Kingdom of Heaven'.

 

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 One True Church, a church centred in and governed by subjectivity.

 

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 Catholic State (republican) is the servant of the Catholic Church, whose essence is political, while the Protestant State (parliamentary) is the master of the Protestant Church, whose essence is economic.

 

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 Protestant State, rejecting any such guidance, has as its ideal freedom (to exploit) and justice for some - namely those who, as capitalists, generate the wealth which keeps the State free of Church interference.

 

8.    It is impossible to reconcile the Protestant State with the Catholic Church or, conversely, the Catholic State with the Protestant Church.  The State can only be reconciled with the Church, or vice versa, when there is an ethnic alignment.

 

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 Catholic State.

 

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.

18.   Whereas the extrovert of the fire is solar (sequential) alpha and the introvert of the fire solar alpha-in-the-omega, the extrovert of the soul is hellish (repetitive) omega-in-the-alpha and the introvert of the soul ... hellish omega.

 

19.   Whereas the extrovert of the ice is lunar (volumetric) alpha and the introvert of the ice lunar alpha-in-the-omega, the extrovert of the intellect is purgatorial (voluminous) omega-in-the-alpha and the introvert of the intellect ... purgatorial omega.

 

20.   Whereas the extrovert of the earth is planar (massed) alpha and the introvert of the earth planar alpha-in-the-omega, the extrovert of the will is worldly (massive) omega-in-the-alpha and the introvert of the will ... worldly omega.

 

 

CYCLE TWENTY-THREE

 

1.    The extrovert of the light is negatively centred, through elemental photon particles, in the noumenal absolutism of the Clear Light of Space, whereas the introvert of the light is negatively centred, through molecular photon particles, in the noumenal relativity of the Unclear Light of Heaven.

 

2.    The extrovert of the spirit is positively centred, through molecular photon wavicles, in the noumenal relativity of the Unholy Spirit of Space, whereas the introvert of the spirit is positively centred, through elemental photon wavicles, in the noumenal absolutism of the Holy Spirit of Heaven.

CYCLE TWENTY-FOUR

 

1.    The noumenal can be absolute or relative, the phenomenal likewise.

 

2.    The noumenal is absolute in the alpha and omega elemental extremes, but relative in the molecular middle-grounds, e.g. alpha-in-the-omega and omega-in-the-alpha.

 

3.    Likewise the phenomenal is absolute in the alpha and omega elemental extremes, but relative in the molecular middle-grounds, e.g. alpha-in-the-omega and omega-in-the-alpha.

 

4.    The light/spirit and fire/soul spectra are invariably noumenal, whereas the ice/mind and earth/will spectra are invariably phenomenal.

 

5.    The light/spirit spectrum is of Space - the spatial space of light (both outer and inner) and the spaced space of spirit (both outer and inner).

 

6.    The fire/soul spectrum is of Time - the sequential time of fire (both outer and inner) and the repetitive time of soul (both outer and inner).

 

7.    The ice/mind spectrum is of Volume - the volumetric volume of ice (both outer and inner) and the voluminous volume of mind (both outer and inner).

 

8.    The earth/will spectrum is of Mass - the massed mass of earth (both outer and inner) and the massive mass of will (both outer and inner).

12.   The massed mass of realist science in the outer earth and of socialist economics in the inner earth vis-à-vis the massive mass of republican politics in the outer will and of humanist religion in the inner will.

 

13.   The noumenal subjectivity of Space contrasts absolutely with the noumenal objectivity of Time and relatively with the phenomenal subjectivity of Mass.

 

14.   The noumenal objectivity of Time contrasts absolutely with the noumenal subjectivity of Space and relatively with the phenomenal objectivity of Volume.

 

15.   The phenomenal objectivity of Volume contrasts absolutely with the phenomenal subjectivity of Mass and relatively with the noumenal objectivity of Time.

 

16.   The phenomenal subjectivity of Mass contrasts absolutely with the phenomenal objectivity of Volume and relatively with the noumenal subjectivity of Space.

 

17.   The relative can be reconciled to the absolute, whether negatively or positively, in damnation or in salvation, but the absolutes as such are mutually exclusive.

 

18.   The will of the Messianic equivalent of the Second Coming is nothing less than to reconcile the phenomenal subjectivity of (massive) Mass to the noumenal subjectivity of (spaced) Space, thereby saving the World from itself to Heaven so that, truly, the Last (in will) shall be the 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 America and was replaced by both monotheistic and, latterly, polytheistic neo-paganism.

 

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-SIX

 

1.    To distinguish the negative noumenal morality, relevant to light, of idealist science from the negative noumenal immorality, relevant to fire, of naturalist science on the one hand, but the negative phenomenal immorality, relevant to ice, of materialist science from the negative phenomenal morality, relevant to earth, of realist science on the other hand.

 

2.    To distinguish the positive noumenal morality, relevant to air, of transcendentalist religion from the positive noumenal immorality, relevant to blood, of fundamentalist religion on the one hand, but the positive phenomenal immorality, relevant to the brain, of nonconformist religion from the positive phenomenal morality, relevant to the womb, of humanist religion on the other hand.

 

3.    To distinguish the negative noumenal morality, relevant to space, of corporate economics from the negative noumenal immorality, relevant to time, of communist economics on the one hand, but the negative phenomenal immorality, relevant to volume, of capitalist economics from the negative phenomenal morality, relevant to mass, of socialist economics on the other hand.

 

4.    To distinguish the positive noumenal morality, relevant to spirit, of totalitarian politics from the positive noumenal immorality, relevant to soul, of authoritarian politics on the one hand, but the positive phenomenal immorality, relevant to mind, of parliamentary politics from the positive phenomenal morality, relevant to will, of republican politics on the other hand.

3.    From the authoritarianism, within politics, of subconscious soul to the totalitarianism of superconscious spirit via the republicanism of unconscious will and the parliamentarianism of conscious mind.

 

4.    From the communism, within economics, of backbrain time to the corporatism of forebrain space via the socialism of left-midbrain mass and the capitalism of right-midbrain volume.

 

5.    From alpha to omega via omega-in-the-alpha and alpha-in-the-omega of science, religion, politics, and economics (in that order).

2.    Soul is unholy, because exteriorized, in the political context (authoritarian), but holy, because interiorized, in the religious context (fundamentalist).

 

3.    Mind is unholy, because exteriorized, in the political context (parliamentary), but holy, because interiorized, in the religious context (nonconformist).

 

4.    Will is unholy, because exteriorized, in the political context (republican), but holy, because interiorized, in the religious context (humanist).

 

5.    Light is unclear, because internalized, in the economic context (corporate), but clear, because externalized, in the scientific context (idealist).

 

6.    Fire is unclear, because internalized, in the economic context (communist), but clear, because externalized, in the scientific context (naturalist).

 

7.    Water is unclear, because internalized, in the economic context (capitalist), but clear, because externalized, in the scientific context (materialist).

 

8.    Earth is unclear, because internalized, in the economic context (socialist), but clear, because externalized, in the scientific context (realist).

 

9.    What makes spirit holy is its convergence, through the lungs, onto air.

 

10.   What makes soul holy is its convergence, through the heart, onto blood.

 

11.   What makes mind holy is its convergence, through the brain, onto cells.

 

12.   What makes will holy is its convergence, through the womb, onto eggs.

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, America is often civilized in a kind of pagan and cosmic fashion.

 

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 Northern Ireland against unity with the Catholic South ... is a manifestation of British rejection of the sort of moral binding which follows from adherence to a political and/or religious hegemony.

 

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.

 

14.   Similarly we may distinguish the scientific naturalism of the Clear Fire of Time, which is absolute anti-evil, from the economic communism of the Unclear Fire of Hell, which is absolute inner anti-evil, while likewise distinguishing the political authoritarianism of the Unholy Soul of Time, which is absolute outer evil, from the religious fundamentalism of the Holy Soul of Hell, which is absolute evil.

 

15.   Likewise we may distinguish the scientific realism of the Clear Earth of Mass, which is relative anti-good, from the economic socialism of the Unclear Earth of the World, which is relative inner anti-good, while similarly distinguishing the political republicanism of the Unholy Will of Mass, which is relative outer good, from the religious humanism of the Holy Will of the World, which is relative good.

 

16.   Finally we may distinguish the scientific materialism of the Clear Water of Volume, which is relative anti-evil, from the economic capitalism of the Unclear Water of Purgatory, which is relative inner anti-evil, while likewise distinguishing the political liberalism of the Unholy Mind of Volume, which is relative outer evil, from the religious nonconformism of the Holy Mind of Purgatory, which is relative evil.

 

 

CYCLE THIRTY-FOUR

 

1.    The private person has about as much chance of getting published ... as the public person of receiving privacy.  In fact, publication and publicity are as germane to the public domain ... as privacy and privatization to the private one.

 

2.    To publish philosophy, especially when of the highest metaphysical order (theosophical), is really a sort of contradiction in terms, since so intensely private a pursuit can only be understood and appreciated by a comparatively small minority of persons at the best of times, who lead, for the most part, intensely private lives.

 

3.    No-one writes philosophy for money; together with fame and power, money is the last thing in the philosopher's mind.

 

4.    One writes philosophy in order the better to understand both oneself and the world in general, and to establish, as far as is humanly possible, a new criterion of truth.

 

5.    One doesn't write philosophy in order to start a revolution or found a new type of society.  Such events are rather more a by-product of philosophy than a conscious philosophical aim.

 

6.    The poet, who is virtually as far removed from the philosopher as the artist from the musician, is the worst of writers whose sympathy is, or should be, rather more with the Father than with the Holy Spirit.  In fact, so much is the poet a creature of the heart ... that he is unable to escape from time.

 

7.    So-called 'free verse' is rather more the 'poetry' of prose writers than of genuine poets.

 

8.    If subjectivity is feminine and objectivity ... masculine, then subjectivity is left wing and objectivity ... right wing.

 

9.    To conceive of a left-wing/right-wing dichotomy between femininity and masculinity is to distinguish between the phenomenal subjective as left wing and the phenomenal objective as right wing, since subjectivity is feminine and objectivity ... masculine.

 

10.   Just as we distinguish between phenomenal and noumenal with regard to subjectivity, so we can distinguish the Left from the Extreme Left on the basis of a phenomenal/noumenal subjective distinction.

 

11.   Whatever is left wing will be phenomenally subjective, whereas that which is extreme left wing will be noumenally subjective - a distinction, in effect, between the World and Heaven, or beauty and truth.

 

12.   Just as we distinguish between phenomenal and noumenal with regard to objectivity, so we can distinguish the Right from the Extreme Right on the basis of a phenomenal/noumenal objective distinction.
