OBJECTION TO WORLDLY (Western) RELIGION

I wouldn’t go anywhere near a Christian Church, to stand in a mixed congregation and listen to the androgynous waffle of world-deferring priests, but I make a distinction, even so, between the celibate priest of the Catholic Church, who at least has some religious credibility and authority, and the priest or, rather, vicar or minister of the Protestant churches, who may well have had sex with his wife (or mistress) only the night before or, at any rate, on a fairly regular basis over a period of years if not decades, producing offspring who only confirm his worldly standing as one who has little or no religious credibility and authority but is effectively a mirror of the world and its family values. I can’t tell you how much I despise such people, some of whom aren’t even male, but the living embodiment of everything that conduces towards the world and the worldly submission of males to a female agenda!

AGE OF SCREEN ADDICTION

We live in an age of screen addiction, whether to TVs, PCs, mobile phones, DVD-players, hand-held devices, cinema screens, LEDs on electric keyboards, MIDIs, etc., GPR systems, or whatever – you just cannot get away, seemingly, from screens of one type of another. Poor eyes! Poor mind! A lethal addiction? Certainly demonstrative of the female-dominated nature of our times and the pressure to ‘keep up appearances’, not least, it would appear, in relation to spectacles, contact lenses, etc., in order to be able to see or view, clearly and in the greatest detail, whatever is digitally and electronically afoot! No wonder I came up with an alternative system and possible lifestyle to all that! Who that wasn’t an appearance-obsessed bitch or a crazy sonofabitch wouldn’t?

NOT 'AU FAIT' WITH 'LADIES AND GENTLEMEN'

‘Ladies and Gentlemen’ – a definite no-no from a metaphysical/pseudo-metachemical standpoint, which is orientated, in religion and pseudo-science, towards race and pseudo-class as opposed, in metachemistry/pseudo-metaphysics, to class and pseudo-race, or science and pseudo-religion.

Such a form of address as ‘ladies and gentlemen’ may be appropriate to the metachemical and pseudo-metaphysical but not, assuredly not, to the metaphysical and pseudo-metachemical, who are brothers and sisters or, rather, pseudo-sisters, i.e., the pseudo-angels under the divines, the pseudo-dragons (neutralized dragons) under the saints, the pseudo-lions and/or wolves (neutralized lions and/or wolves) under the lambs, and so on, through equivalent metaphors.

However, now that I have written the above, I can see a counter-argument along the lines that if, in metaphysics and pseudo-metachemistry, one can have brothers and pseudo-sisters, then surely one can also have sisters and pseudo-brothers in metachemistry and pseudo-metaphysics. In fact, what is to preclude one from contending that the terms ‘ladies and gentlemen’ can also be split along such lines, with ladies and pseudo-gentlemen in the metachemical/pseudo-metaphysical context and gentlemen and pseudo-ladies in the context axially antithetical to that, wherein the notion of the gentleman saint and the pseudo-lady neutralized dragon (pseudo-dragon) would surely have some applicability?

Be that as it may - and excluding for the moment the irrelevance of class to the metaphysical/pseudo-metachemical context - it can certainly be argued that ladies and gentlemen, as an expression, is as cohesively implausible as would be the terms Devil and God, and for the very sound reason that what hangs together at any point of the intercardinal axial compass is less antithetical, as I am contending both the above terms would be, than hegemonic and gender subordinate, in which case the proximity, on different noumenal planes, of Devil and pseudo-God in the one case and of God and pseudo-Devil in the other must have a parallel in the use of such terms as ladies and gentlemen or, for that matter, brothers and sisters.

Yet, in broad terms, I still find it difficult to dismiss the idea that ‘ladies and gentlemen’ has class implications whereas ‘brothers and sisters’ doesn’t, being, if anything, more racially oriented, as in the use of ‘brother’ among large sections of the black or coloured community to distinguish themselves from their white or non-soulful counterparts.

WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE/ARE NOT AND HAVE/HAVE NOT IN AXIAL PERSPECTIVE

Not Who You Are, nor What You Have. Not even Who You Have, but What You Are – this is what counts from a metaphysical (religious) standpoint.

Just as Who You Are requires a gender subordinate What You Are Not in the class/pseudo-race dichotomy of metachemistry and pseudo-metaphysics, and What You Have a gender subordinate Who You Have Not in the occupation/pseudo-sex dichotomy of physics and pseudo-chemistry on the state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis stretching from northwest to southeast points on the intercardinal axial compass, so Who You Have requires a gender subordinate What You Have Not in the sex/pseudo-occupation dichotomy of chemistry and pseudo-physics, and What You Are a gender subordinate Who You Are Not in the race/pseudo-class dichotomy of metaphysics and pseudo-metachemistry on the church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis stretching from southwest to northeast points on the intercardinal axial compass.

Science and pseudo-Religion vis-a-vis Economics and pseudo-Politics on the one axis; Politics and pseudo-Economics vis-a-vis Religion and pseudo-Science on the other axis. Or, in more philosophical language, noumenal objectivity and noumenal pseudo-subjectivity vis-a-vis phenomenal subjectivity and phenomenal pseudo-objectivity on the state-hegemonic axis; phenomenal objectivity and phenomenal pseudo-subjectivity vis-a-vis noumenal subjectivity and noumenal pseudo-objectivity on the church-hegemonic axis.

THOSE WHO ARE REPRESENTATIVELY IRISH

The middle classes are not representatively Irish, any more than are the upper classes. Only the lower classes and their pseudo-middle-class counterparts in public sector service can be adjudged properly Irish – along with the quasi-classless (ethnic torch-bearers) and/or pseudo-upperclass priests, monks, nuns, etc., of the Roman Catholic tradition.

It is of course the lower classes/pseudo-middle classes approximating to chemistry/pseudo-physics at the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass who can be saved (pseudo-physical) and counter-damned (chemical) once the church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis in countries with the appropriate axial preconditions, like Ireland, has been resurrected on Social Theocratic (superchristian) terms in relation to a full complement of metaphysical and pseudo-metachemical factors, following a majority mandate for religious sovereignty (and its pseudo-scientific corollary) from the paradoxical utilization of the democratic process by Social Theocrats with or without (though hopefully with) support from the Catholic Church in the necessity, amongst other things, of avoiding mass-movement associations to the detriment of world-overcoming and transcendental credibility.

For unless the relevant masses are saved and counter-damned, according to gender, they will never be released from the predatory clutches of the other axis, with its state-hegemonic disregard for religious idealism, and, no less importantly, those who appertain to it will never be damned and counter-saved to their respective polarities, pending a general re-alignment of the church-hegemonic axis on terms sympathetic to pluralism under a metaphysical/pseudo-metachemical umbrella that, with centro-complexification (a de Chardinesque term) should allow for long-term totalitarianism as the metaphysical/pseudo-metachemical goal of all evolution and counter-devolution in space-centre apotheosis, celestial city-like, ‘On High’.

SOCIAL THEOCRACY

What is Social Theocracy? - Social Theocracy is like Judaism the other way around. That is, a kind of Y-chromosomal Supercross over a contiguously-encircled absolute star, significant of pseudo-metachemisty and thus of that which, in soma, is predominantly bound, like a neutralized dragon, lion, wolf, etc. under the proverbial lamb (of godliness) and/or saintly heel of righteousness, this latter of course synonymous with metaphysics and, hence, the hegemonic male position alluded to above whose disposition, in absolute contrast to that of his pseudo-female counterpart, is preponderantly one of free psyche.

CHRISTIAN PARADOX

Wasn’t it Christ who is reputed to have said: ‘Love thy enemies”?

Frankly, it would have been no less daft had he said: ‘Hate thy friends’!

Loving your enemies would be the surest way of ensuring that you came to hate your friends. And then what would be the point of having any?

ABSTRACT CONTEMPLATION

That which is only there to be looked at – say, a beach or country scene – works as a view. That which has particular uses rarely if ever does. Therefore for a satisfactory desktop photo, to take a single example, one needs to avoid the utilitarian in favour of the purely aesthetic. This necessarily excludes women, for instance, insofar as they may exist, in the mind, as sexual objects and not simply as objects to be contemplated, like a seascape or distant mountain. I accept that one can swim in the sea and climb mountains, but that is not necessarily what one would wish to do the way one might wish to make love to a beautiful woman, assuming one is of a romantic disposition. ]

With a picture or photo of a particular woman there will always be a certain unease in the mind that arises from the general concept of women as being more than objects of contemplation. One cannot contemplate that which is fundamentally utile for long without succumbing to this ambivalence over the aesthetic viability of the object of contemplation, and such ambivalence makes for psychological restlessness and a desire to change objects, which, of course, can continue infinitum if one is lacking insight into the underlying cause of such a desire.

THE IRISH REPUBLIC

The Irish Republic, rather like the Weimar Republic before it, has become a fucking disgrace – fit only to be condemned to the rubbish bin of history.

I never much liked the Tonean tricolour anyway; it sharply suggests the divide-and-rule policy of perfidious Albion, keeping the Green and Orange Celts apart while feigning unity between the main ethnic traditions – Catholic, Anglican, and Dissenter (puritan). An Anglo-Irish Republic that, as modern history has shown, has been quick to abandon its republican socialist traditions in pursuance of capitalist gain and an effective sell-out to the WASPS. But that is at the roots of its current undoing and ... enslavement to Western and, in particular, European capital.

To me, this Irish Republic is nothing but an interim stage of political ideology between Ireland's colonial past and, hopefully, its theocratically-liberated future.

THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC

The Weimar Republic, indubitably a female-dominated species of secular freedom, gave Germany the impetus to restock its population after the horrendous losses of the Great War. A paradoxical prelude to the rebirth of a male-oriented German nationalism and, ultimately, nation, who would follow a single leader rather than continue to be governed by people's representatives or regress to subservience before an autocracy such that, in any case, had plunged Germany into the First World War and subsequent bloodbath. Too bad the leadership was flawed.

THOUGHTS ON JAZZ

A drum solo is the exemplification, purely and simply, of the Will, as an expression of metachemical dominance. It exemplifies the Life Force.

Jazz is the most backward kind of modern music – backward in the sense of exemplifying the Will in an alpha-stemming and/or alpha-oriented predilection towards percussion and … brass, that fiery ‘bovaryization’ of wind suited to a fundamentalist if not materialist disposition.

Jazz, fundamentally, is about space and pseudo-time – spatial pitch and sequential rhythm. That is what makes it materialist/fundamentalist and pseudo-idealist/pseudo-transcendentalist, as though a combination, to varying extents, of metachemistry and pseudo-metaphysics, Will and pseudo-Soul, which appertain to the northwest point of the intercardinal axial compass on what would be the ruling positions of the state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis.

Jazz-rock, or 'fusion', is an accommodation of Jazz to 'the world' of that which, in rock or rock 'n' roll, properly appertains to the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass on what would be the deferential positions of the church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis. It is as though cinema were being accommodated, via film, to television.

STOUT AND BROWN ALE VIS-A-VIS LIGHT ALE AND LAGER

I intimated in my weblog 'Ale and Stout' that I might give this intriguing subject some additional thought in order to clarify one or two outstanding issues and, lo and behold!, that is what I have done and, as usual, resolved the issue to my logical satisfaction.

For physics over pseudo-chemistry at the southeast point of the intercardinal axial compass equals vegetation (or earth) over pseudo-water or, in common parlance, shit over pseudo-piss, and one has here not simply a can/bottle distinction but a distinction, moreover, between stout and brown ale, the latter a kind of shat-upon beer which accords, in tight skirt-like vein, with pseudo-piss, which, translated back into beer terminology, would equate with brown ale as a manifestation less of phenomenal subjectivity than of phenomenal pseudo-objectivity.

On the other hand, chemistry over pseudo-physics at the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass equals water over pseudo-vegetation (or pseudo-earth) or, in common parlance, piss over pseudo-shit, and here one has not simply a bottle/can distinction but a distinction, moreover, between light ale and lager, the latter a kind of pissed-upon beer which accords, in flared pants-like vein, with pseudo-shit, which, translated back into beer terminology, would equate with lager as a manifestation less of phenomenal objectivity than of phenomenal pseudo-subjectivity.

Therefore light ale over lager at the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass has to be contrasted with stout over brown ale at the southeast point of the said compass, the former pairing commensurate with chemistry over pseudo-physics, or phenomenal (as opposed to noumenal) females over phenomenal (as opposed to noumenal) pseudo-males, and the latter pairing commensurate with physics over pseudo-chemistry, or phenomenal (as opposed to noumenal) males over phenomenal (as opposed to noumenal) pseudo-females.

That, then, is the logical underpinning of the distinctions between ale and lager and/or stout, and one can see that ale, whether light or dark, pale or brown, is on the female side of the gender fence and both lager and stout, germane as they should be to cans as against bottles, are on the male side of such a fence, one pertaining, as noted above, to separate axes of which the southwest is polar to the northeast on church-hegemonic terms and the southeast polar to the northwest of state-hegemonic terms.

LITERATURE AND THE INTERCARDINAL AXIAL COMPASS

Using the intercardinal axial compass of bisecting diagonals as a model for sensual and sensible distinctions on both noumenal and phenomenal planes, we can plot a distinction between drama and poetry as female and pseudo-male options vis-a-vis philosophy and prose as male and pseudo-female options, as though the former pairing corresponded to the sensuality of noumenal and phenomenal objectivity coupled to pseudo-subjectivity at the northwest and southwest points of the said compass, while the latter pairing corresponded, by contrast, to the sensibility of noumenal and phenomenal subjectivity coupled to pseudo-objectivity at the northeast and southeast points of the compass in question.

As I tend to distinguish the northwest from the southwest in terms of metachemistry and pseudo-metaphysics (from out of antimetaphysics) vis-a-vis chemistry and pseudo-physics (from out of antiphysics), I will allow for a noumenal contrast between elemental particles and pseudo-elemental wavicles in respect of the former pairing and for a phenomenal contrast between molecular particles and pseudo-molecular wavicles in respect of the latter pairing, the former commensurate with will and pseudo-soul, the latter with spirit and pseudo-ego.

Therefore in literary terms a distinction between the short (elemental particle) drama of metachemical will and the short (pseudo-elemental wavicle) poetry of pseudo-metaphysical pseudo-soul must be contrasted with the long (molecular particle) drama of chemical spirit and the long (pseudo-molecular wavicle) poetry of pseudo-physical pseudo-ego, with female and pseudo-male distinctions in each category relative to the noumenal/phenomenal dichotomy that exists between the northwest and southwest points of the intercardinal axial compass.

Likewise as I tend to distinguish the northeast from the southeast in terms of metaphysics and pseudo-metachemistry (from out of antimetachemistry) vis-a-vis physics and pseudo-chemistry (from out of antichemistry), I will allow for a noumenal contrast between elemental wavicles and pseudo-elemental particles in respect of the former pairing and for a phenomenal contrast between molecular wavicles and pseudo-molecular particles in respect of the latter pairing, the former commensurate with soul and pseudo-will, the latter with ego and pseudo-spirit.

Therefore in literary terms a distinction between the short (elemental wavicle) philosophy of metaphysical soul and the short (pseudo-elemental particle) prose of pseudo-metachemical pseudo-will must be contrasted with the long (molecular wavicle) philosophy of physical ego and the long (pseudo-molecular particle) prose of pseudo-chemical pseudo-spirit, with male and pseudo-female distinctions in each category relative to the noumenal/phenomenal dichotomy that exists between the northeast and southeast points of the intercardinal axial compass.

Doubtless the distinctions between 'short' and 'long', appertaining to elemental and molecular class or axial dichotomies, can be given more concrete interpretation than the above might suggest, with 'short drama' for instance decidedly wilful where the 'long' variety, equating with spirit, would be more verbal and voice-oriented, encouraging a correspondingly long-winded approach to poetry, on the other side of the gender fence, that is more likely to be of the free-verse variety than of anything overly lyrical and metric. But, whether 'long' or 'short', the drama would be female and concerned primarily with fact, the objective expression of female will and/or spirit, whereas the poetry would be pseudo-male and primarily concerned, lacking a capacity in the female-hegemonic circumstances for truth, with illusion or, more correctly, with falsity, being the pseudo-subjective impression of pseudo-male pseudo-soul and/or pseudo-ego.

Likewise, to extend our concrete interpretation into axial sensibility to the right of anything sensually hegemonic, one would have to argue that 'short philosophy', meaning an aphoristic approach to philosophising, will be decidedly soulful where the 'long' variety, equating essayistically with ego, will be more intellectual and knowledge-oriented, encouraging a long-winded approach to prose fiction, on the other side of the gender fence, that is more likely to be novelistic than concerned with telling stories on a short-prose basis, as, one suspects, would be that approach to prose fiction that is properly complementary to aphoristic philosophy. However, whether 'long' or 'short, the philosophy would be male and concerned primarily with truth, the subjective impression of male ego and/or soul, whereas the prose would be pseudo-female and primarily concerned, lacking a capacity in the male-hegemonic circumstances for fact, with fiction, being the pseudo-objective expression of pseudo-female pseudo-spirit and/or pseudo-will.

Thus a broad distinction in literature emerges between the free female fact of drama and the bound male illusion of poetry which contrasts, as sensuality with sensibility, with the free male truth of philosophy and the bound female fiction of prose - a pseudo-male incapacity for truth under female hegemonic fact making for falsity (and hence poetry) no less certainly than a pseudo-female incapacity for fact under male hegemonic truth makes for fiction (and hence prose).

I shall say little at this point of gender-bender cross-overs from poetry into drama and from philosophy into prose, the former sensually up and the latter sensibly down a plane, but clearly most such cross-overs have been the result, traditionally, of male perversity and ambition which, particularly in the case of drama-loving poets, would constitute the worst form of literary crime!
