| 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!

| ON THE SUBJECT OF BLESSEDNESS |
Comments

The notion of God blessing oneself or others is false, since deriving from 'bovarized' notions of God which owe nothing to metaphysics, the elemental context of soul par excellence in which ego has no other business than to get itself, as something godly, into heaven. One might say that God is blessed with Heaven or, put differently, the grace of godly truth is blessed with the holiness of heavenly joy. That is it, and that is all it ever could be in truth.
Hence the graceful truth of metaphysical ego, which is godly, is blessed with the holy joy of metaphysical soul, which is heavenly, and therefore God the Father is blessed with Heaven the Holy Soul. It is even true to say that God the Son is blessed with the Holy Spirit of Heaven, since what metaphysically applies to free psyche also applies to its gender corollary of bound soma, except that here it is the wisdom of metaphysical will, which is son-of-godly, that is blessed with the holy woe of metaphysical spirit, which is the heavenliness of metaphysical not-self, the spiritual heavenliness that, in relation to humankind, one could identify with the breath as against, for anything son-of-godly, the lungs. Therefore, in the bound somatic state-subordinate metaphysical corollary of a church-hegemonic psychic freedom, it could be said that the Son of God is blessed with the Holy Spirit of Heaven, even though such a spiritual heaven is a far cry from the soulful heaven of perfect self-harmony, which is less a thing of the breath issuing from son-of-godly lungs than of the spinal cord to which the self has attained in the transcendence of brain-stem ego.
However that may be - and we should not forget that, with me, psyche preceding soma as male actuality requires the metaphorical association of father preceding son -, metaphysics is the elemental context of most soul, more (in relation to most) ego, less (in relation to least) spirit, and least will, the 'more ego' and 'most soul' constitutive of psychic freedom and the 'less spirit' and 'least will' of somatic binding. And this ratio-like integrity of metaphysics would be true whether the metaphysics was cosmic and least evolved, natural and less (relative to least) evolved, human and more (relative to most) evolved or cyborg (to slightly anticipate the future) and most evolved, the 'most evolved' according with the definitive manifestation of metaphysics in which the holiness of perfect self-harmony will be most developed because not having to contend, as lesser manifestations of metaphysics do and have done in the past, with subversive vitiation at the hands, so to speak, of either metachemical, chemical, or physical 'bovaryizations' of religion - and hence of the concept of godliness - in relation to the Cosmos, nature, and mankind which have tended to marginalize metaphysics and undermine anything approaching true religion from standpoints rooted in either science, politics, or economics, as the prevailing case may be, often with one or more of these 'bovarized' religions prevailing, to different degrees, at once, and therefore further undermining the possibility of metaphysical self-realization.
For, contrary to metaphysics, metachemistry is the elemental context of most will, more (relative to most) spirit, less (relative to least) ego, and least soul, in consequence of which a society dominated by metachemical religion, in materialist/fundamentalist fiery vein, will grant maximum religious prominence to will at the expense of soul and therefore to anything metaphysical.
Similarly, chemistry is the elemental context of most spirit, more (relative to most) will, less (relative to least) soul, and least ego, in consequence of which a society dominated by chemical religion, in realist/nonconformist watery vein, will grant maximum religious prominence to spirit at the expense of ego and therefore of anything physical.
Likewise, physics is the elemental context of most ego, more (relative to most) soul, less (relative to least) will, and least spirit, in consequence of which a society dominated by physical religion, in humanist/naturalist vegetative (or earthy) vein, will grant maximum religious prominence to ego at the expense of spirit and therefore of anything chemical.
Obviously, although, as noted above, metaphysics is the elemental context of most soul, more (relative to most) ego, less (relative to least) spirit, and least will, it will not be able to achieve its definitive manifestation while the 'bovaryized' modes of religion still prevail and assail it from standpoints in which either will, spirit, or ego take precedence over soul. Only when it is fully self-conscious of what it is and of what it must do to reign supreme will it be able to triumph over the false religions of will (cosmic), spirit (natural), and ego (human), thereby inaugurating the age, commensurate with 'kingdom come', of genuine religion, in which everything will be subordinated to the attainment by males of perfect self-harmony in soul for a metaphysics that is beyond not only anything cosmic and natural, but human as well, a metaphysics, in short, which is effectively cyborgistic and therefore fully metaphysical, in the clear from vitiation at the proverbial hands of anything cosmic, natural, or human, unlike its least evolved, less (relative to least) evolved, and more (relative to most) evolved preceding manifestations.
For metaphysics, to repeat, is the elemental context in which the grace of godly truth in metaphysical ego is blessed with the holiness of heavenly joy in metaphysical soul, and self-transcendence from ego to soul, godliness to heavenliness, truth to joy, is accordingly a prerequisite of metaphysical perfection. The true God-nurture does not bless others but is content with his own blessedness, which is to be blessed with the joyful redemption of godly ego in heavenly soul, that is to say, in the heavenliness of perfect self-centredness.
This is the destiny of the saintly, which institutionally will require the complementarity of pseudo-metachemical angels whose bound soma and free psyche, conditioned by metaphysical pressures, will nonetheless be at variance with the free psyche and bound soma of the metaphysical, since reflective of a female rather than male ratio of noumenal absolutism, as described by me in other writings, not least those associated with my philosophy-proper.

| ALE AND STOUT BEERS |
Comments

Anyone familiar with my philosophy will know that I distinguish the southwest from the southeast points of the intercardinal axial compass on the basis of an equivocal female hegemony in chemistry over an upended male position of antiphysics-cum-pseudo-physics (which from now on we shall simply refer to as pseudo-physics) from an equivocal male hegemony in physics over an upended female position of antichemistry-cum-pseudo-chemistry (which shall likewise be simplified to pseudo-chemistry), thus in effect distinguishing water over pseudo-earth (or pseudo-vegetation) from earth (or vegetation) over pseudo-water or, in vulgar parlance, piss over pseudo-shit from shit over pseudo-piss, the former pairing akin, in sartorial terms, to a flouncy skirt over flared pants and the latter akin to tapering pants over a tapering skirt, as though in a distinction, generally speaking, between sensuality and sensibility or, more correctly, sensuality and pseudo-sensibility on the one hand, and sensibility and pseudo-sensuality on the other, the centrifugal and the centripetal, a context governed by objectivity in female vein and one governed, in male vein, by subjectivity.
So what does all this have to do with ale and stout beers? Let me answer that query in the following way. Taking our gender and sartorial parallels from the above, we should be able to argue, with some justification and overlooking for the moment populist notions that would tend to intuitively confirm this, that bottles parallel skirts and cans parallel pants (or jeans), since bottles tend to be transparent (and water-affirming) whereas cans are somewhat opaque (and earthy), a distinction, after all, between female and male criteria. Therefore we should be able to distinguish bottles over cans on the one hand, that of the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass, from cans over bottles on the other hand, that of the southeast point of the said compass, as though in a distinction, once again, between flared skirts and flared pants vis-a-vis tapering pants and tapering skirts.
But what is it, you may wonder, that leads one to infer a flared or a tapering parallel to the respective types of bottles and cans? Not necessarily the shape of the bottle or can, nor even of the top or widget. What seems to satisfy this requirement is less the medium in which beer is stored than the nature of the beer itself, i.e. whether it lends itself to a watery (piss) or to an earthy (shit) correlation, which, so far as I am concerned, is precisely the distinction between light ale and/or lager and stout and/or brown ale, to simplify the options.
In other words, chemistry over pseudo-physics = bottled light ale over canned light ale, whereas physics over pseudo-chemistry = canned stout over bottled stout, the former pairing exemplifying the overall influence of female criteria and the latter ... that of males, as, I would argue, would that between lager and brown ale.
Therefore a female-dominated distinction between, for instance, bottled light ale and canned light ale has to be distinguished from a male-dominated distinction between canned stout and bottled stout, the former pairing susceptible to identification with flared phenomenal (relative as opposed, like say dresses to absolute) clothing and the latter to what tapers as though from the hegemony not of water (piss) but of earthiness (shit).
Now what is particularly interesting about this finding, if I may so put it, is that traditionally the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass, in which volume is hegemonic over pseudo-mass, would be identifiable, in overall axial terms, with church-hegemonic (catholic) criteria, whereas the southeast point of the said compass, in which mass is hegemonic over pseudo-volume, would be identifiable, in overall axial terms, with state-hegemonic (puritan or protestant) criteria, which is also, as far as these lower-order points of the axes in question are concerned, to make a distinction between Gaelic football and Association football, since the traditional noumenal, or upper-order, poles to these points tend to encompass hurling in the catholic case and rugby in the protestant one, where the religious correlations would be rather more Roman Catholic with, certainly in Eire, an Old English rather than Gaelic connotation and, in England and Britain generally, Anglican rather than Puritan.
Be that as it may, the British Isles has long been a rather paradoxical place, where people tend to be at cross-purposes with themselves in so many contexts, not least in terms of beer-drinking habits, which has seen people of Irish Catholic descent traditionally favouring stout (the beer of the parliamentary/puritan southeast point of the intercardinal axial compass) and people of English Protestant, if not puritan, descent favouring ale, not least in its light or lager-like manifestation, which, as I have argued, is relative to the catholic southwest point of the said compass and not at all to anything dominated, in physical fashion, by male criteria.
So not only is it paradoxical but extremely ironic that so many Catholic Irish should identify their beer-drinking habits with an English-derived beer while many of their English and even British counterparts favour light ale or lager, as if it connoted with something puritan and male! I think I have shown, with correlations based in a degree of logic, that this is simply not the case, and I could also add to the misery of these 'where ignorance is bliss' people by pointing out that, in overall elemental terms, rock 'n' roll connotes with the catholic, or lapsed catholic, southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass while classical, not least in a strings-oriented symphonic mode, connotes with the protestant if not puritan southeast, and therefore with all that is axially contrary, on phenomenal (lower order) terms to female hegemonic criteria. Put simply, the southwest is about spirit and pseudo-ego, while the southeast is about ego and pseudo-spirit. This is precisely the distinction between chemistry and pseudo-physics on the one hand, and physics and pseudo-chemistry on the other, our flared skirt and pants pairing vis-a-vis their tapering counterparts in pants and skirts. So light ale is the beer of piss-drenched singing rock 'n' rollers and stout the beer of shit-tight scroll-reading orchestral bow-scrapers. Wow!
Perhaps we should leave a more detailed examination of the distinctions between light ale and lager on the one hand and stout and brown ale on the other to another time, before things become too complicated.

| PHILOSOPHERS AND ARTISTS |

| The true philosopher kings are those who remain faithful to the Y of their XY chromosomal integrity through thick and thin, remaining metaphysically aloof from the world at the northeast point of the intercardinal axial compass when lesser males than themselves have either fallen into antimetaphysics under metachemical pressure and become artists kowtowing to beauty or, as is more often the case, fallen all the way to antiphysics from antimetaphysics in consequence of the female achieving a resolution of beauty in strength and of love in pride, wherein the hegemonic sway of chemistry over antiphysics is assured. From this worldly position, ever the source of worshipful nostalgia on the part of males (become antimales) for the lost Y of youthful idealism, there is no way back to metaphysics - as there sometimes is for their antimetaphysical counterparts above - except via salvation, or deliverance from the antiphysical upended-gender plight by those who have either remained metaphysical (the philosopher kings) or returned to metaphysics from antimetaphysics (the repentant artists). For the antiphysical 'male' is not merely divided against his self on an X/Y basis but, as an accomplice in female resolution, has sacrificed his Y chromosome to the XX-chromosomal pressures brought to bear on him by both beauty and strength, in consequence of which his acquiescence in maternal resolution is akin to an XX-X situation without hope, barring faith, of Y-chromosomal redemption, which is fidelity to self conceived, as is proper with males, psychically. With faith, however, matters can be otherwise; but it will require an ability, quite unprecedented in religion, of the metaphysical to save such antimales (from their subordinate worldly plight) and this, in turn, will require the correlative counter-damnation of the chemical to antimetachemistry by those who, in relation to the godly/heavenly, could be described as antidevilish/antihellish, either of which manifestations of antimetachemistry could have been already in situ under the metaphysical ... as unbeautiful females of a higher stamp or, alternatively, brought down to antimetachemistry from metachemistry in consequence of the return of disillusioned antimetaphysical 'males' (antimales) to metaphysics, as noted above. Whatever the case, only the combination of metaphysical and antimetachemical agents will suffice to deliver, on contrary rising and counter-falling terms, the antiphysical and chemical from their respective worldly standings, and less for their own sake than in the interests of divine and antidiabolic vengeance upon the diabolic and antidivine powers at the northwest point of the intercardinal axial compass who, in defiance of godliness and antidevilishness, would otherwise continue to prevail over them through the exemplification of somatic license netherworld and anti-otherworld without metachemical and antimetaphysical end, keeping that which is genuinely divine and antidiabolic out of the equation while they continue to give themselves inflated airs to the detriment of truth and to an end, more pertinently, of evil and pseudo-folly, the evil of metachemical somatic license and the pseudo-folly of its antimetaphysical equivalent. |
| ST GEORGE AND THE DRAGON |

| I am a great believer in St George and the Dragon, in what should be the metaphysical hegemony of the male over the female at the northeast point of the intercardinal axial compass, pretty much like metaphysics over antimetachemistry, or zipper suits, to coin a sartorial parallel, over tight dresses. Unfortunately, St George can - and often is reduced by the Protestant English - to physics over antichemistry at the southeast point of the said compass, in which case the sartorial paradigm is one of straight pants and tight skirts. But this George would be considerably less than saintly! For physics is subject to subversion to somatic emphasis at the expense of psyche by antichemistry in polarity to the unequivocally hegemonic factor on what is, after all, the state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis - namely metachemistry, which, unlike its subordinate counterpart antimetaphysics, is also on the female side of the gender fence, so to speak, if from the standpoint of that which is sovereign in its free soma and bound psyche. No, St George can only be a Catholic emblem and metaphor for something which England officially abandoned centuries ago. Alas! |
| THE EFFECT OF FEMALE RESOLUTIONS UPON THE MALE |
Comments

| The female desire, par excellence, is to fall from metachemistry into chemistry, from fire into water, from beauty and love in metachemical free soma into strength and pride in chemical free soma, as from the diabolic to the feminine. To do so they must catch a male and get themselves pregnant through him. Therefore if they succeed, that is, if love coupled to beauty succeeds as a hook to capture a male, they 'fall' into maternal responsibility, thereby achieving a resolution to their problem of how to escape a vacuum and acquire a plenum - namely the child. But for males the possibility of rising out of the world into what religion would call salvation must be correspondingly slim or remote, since if they have been 'picked off' by females they will necessarily remain committed to a worldly position of familial compromise in which no escape is possible. Therefore males do not simply rise, as from masculinity to divinity, because females fall. Only those who have avoided worldly entanglements are in a position to live a godly life, and more usually they will not have risen from below, except from childhood to manhood, so much as acquired a firmer grip on the heights to which the 'Y' of their chromosomal gender integrity entitles them. |
| GOD AND HEAVEN |

| People tend to identify religion with God, but God is only one aspect of religion and not the most important either. Heaven takes precedence over God and God's sole duty is to get himself into Heaven, to be eclipsed by Heaven, as it were, in such fashion that soul takes precedence over ego and truth is vindicated by joy. This is the metaphysical reality and destiny par excellence, and only in a ratio of least God to most Heaven is metaphysics definitive. |

| I hope I can contribute something to this site via examples of my aphoristic philosophy which, based on the four elements, often end up in quartet format, as though in a symmetrical deference to the underlying themes. |
