CYCLE 24

 

1.�� DEVIL/DEMON DICHOTOMY.Just as superwomen can be of the light per se or of lightfire (the fiery core of a light context), so we can distinguish the one from the other on the basis of a devil/demon dichotomy, the former genuinely superfeminine and the latter quasi-submasculine.Generally speaking, I have tended, in the past, to characterize such a distinction in terms of a Hindu/Buddhist analogy, equating the superfeminine per se with black-and-white photography, and the quasi-submasculine 'bovaryization' of the superfeminine with colour photography.

 

2.�� BEAST/WARRIOR DICHOTOMY.Similarly, just as a subman can be of the fire per se or of firelight (the light-aside of a fiery context), so we can distinguish the one from the other on the basis of a beast/warrior dichotomy, the former genuinely submasculine and the latter quasi-superfeminine.Generally speaking, I have tended, in the past, to characterize such a distinction in terms of a Satanic/Judaic analogy, equating the submasculine per se with colour film and the quasi-superfeminine 'bovaryization' of the submasculine with black-and-white film.

 

3.�� DEMON/WARRIOR DISTINCTION.It could be said that whereas the demon 'comes on' to the beast, the warrior 'sucks up' to the devil.

 

4.�� COMPARATIVE SUPERHEATHEN STANDINGS.The beast is subdivine and the warrior quasi-superdiabolic, whereas the demon is quasi-subdivine and the devil ... superdiabolic.

 

5.�� COMPARATIVE STANDINGS OF ANGELS TO DEVILS.Compared to devils, angels are subdiabolic, but it makes things easier to regard them simply as angelic vis-�-vis the Devil per se.

 

6.�� COMPARATIVE STANDINGS OF BEASTS TO GODS.Likewise, compared to gods, beasts are subdivine, but it makes things easier to regard them simply as bestial vis-�-vis God per se.
