CYCLE 9

1.�� MALE/FEMALE BLUES.� Distinguish between the Rock-Blues of guitar-based instrumental 'Blues' and the Blues-Rock of guitar-based vocal 'Blues'.� But, above all, distinguish each of these from the authentic Blues of vocal-based superfeminine idealism, as in 'Lady sings the Blues'.� For, fundamentally, the Blues is pure Hell!

2.�� HEATHEN ALLIANCE.� To see a correlation between Anglicanism and the Labour Party, Puritanism and the Conservative Party, and Presbyterianism and the Liberal (Democratic) Party, as between the Protestantism/Parliamentarianism of the World, the purgatorial Overworld, and the purgatorial Netherworld.� Mother, Son, and Father in a Heathen alliance between Protestant Church and State.

3.�� CATHOLIC CONNECTIONS.� To see a connection, relative to Catholic republicanism, between the Irish Labour Party and the Virgin Mary, Fine Gael and the Christ Child, and Fianna F�il and the Holy Ghost, as though Labour were a democratic version of Communism, Fine Gael a democratic version of Nazism, and Fianna F�il a democratic version of Fascism.� The Democratic Left would, I guess, be beyond the Christian pale in a sort of Superchristian affiliation with 'Mary-Child' feminism, as though the subfeminine precondition of supermasculine revolution in Social Theocracy/Transcendentalism, as germane to 'Kingdom Come', and hence the Second Coming/Holy Spirit of Heaven.

4.�� NO STRICT EQUIVALENTS.� Clearly, one cannot regard Irish political parties as equivalent to British ones, as though the distinction between Protestant parliamentarianism and Catholic republicanism was of no account.� In Ireland, a Christian country, politics - barring the Democratic Left - remains largely in the shadow of the Catholic Church.� In Britain, a comparatively heathen country, the Protestant Church is effectively in the shadow of politics.
