"You see, the Love that such a consciousness would try to suppress,
is precisely the Way and Means out of the apparent impasse you
perceived in the uneven 'balance' between the destructive and
constructive forces of the World."
"How. so?"
"It's very simple. Love knows what's good for it and what's bad for
it. Love, undistorted and unclouded by the doubts that can be made
to shadow it, is a perfectly unerring Rudder through the creative
fields. It can easily and aptly recognize those manifestations of
its all-permissiveness which are supportive of the whole-being value
subtending its patterns, and those which are inimical to it—or that
seek to function on a variant basis, which, owing to the fact that
they're necessarily expressions of that whole-being value
automatically generates a counterproductive self-contradiction
emitting clear signals to stay clear of their shoals."
"Then this innate power of Love to steer a safe course must be more
than just a survivalist capability."
"Much more. But at the same time it isn't different than the basic
wisdom through which Love optimizes even the creatural
'survival-imperative' for the furtherance of individual and
species. The elaborate 'civilized' problems and perilous
contradictions that seem built into our collective, survivalist
"wisdom', aren't the product of Love-in-itself but, to the contrary,
are the direct result of what happens when the innate spontaneity of
Love is strategically crippled.
"When Love is deliberately thrown the curve of 'doubt', it falters.
In its innocent spontaneity, not recognizing or understanding the
implications that come riding in over that curve-ball of Doubt, Love
hesitates, stumbles; it gets caught in a reverberatory
Self-reflection which isn't basically conducive to 'locating
itself, getting its bearings or deriving specific functional
coordinates; rather, this type of stuttering self-reflection along a
reverberative corridor of mirrors curved into Question-marks, is
basically counter-productive. It's crippling, and stops the
unerring flow of Love in alignment with the grain of Supernal Will
necessarily patterned into the fields of mind/body creative
manifestation."
"Wait. What's this inbuilt factor of 'Supernal Will'? I don't think
I've heard from this before." (But the reader has: cf. "What is
Christ Consciousness?", issues 5, Vol.1 and 6, Vol. 1 TNTC.)
"We'll get back to that. The point here is that once the sensitive
Mother-value of Love is hamstrung by doubt and superposed fears, it
is subject to coercion and exploitation. It is, then, malleable; it
can be made-to invest in forms of organization, behavior and outlook
that
would be instinctually inimical to it—except its instincts have been
blunted, dulled. The crude categorial abstractions of mind
(basically estranged from the subtle ideotypes out of which the
real, sensuous love-patterns of life are ordered) may be made to
override the initial instincts of love—squelch the immediate
feelings of the whole-being which decisively sense whether a thing
is beneficial or ultimately deleterious; and by imposing such
judgmental, 'parenting' inhibitions upon the psyche through
suppressive processes of enculturation the very standards of
acceptance whereby one's 'survivalism' is assessed, the deservedness
of one's personal continuity weighed, become definitive indices of
the thwarting of Love's legitimate function. They become invisible,
unnoticed and so universally accepted straitjackets for the leashing
of love, forcing it to conform to the configuration of unnatural
molds.
"Once the basic factors of our very stavivalism are given
effectively into the hands of abstract mental categories
(popularity, bank account, nationalism, religious affiliation etc)
and concomitantly taken away from the integral instincts or
unerring intuitions of Love, all the higher functions to which the
force of Love could be put are automatically effaced, rendered null
and void. Everything in our higher-dimensional repertoire which
could otherwise open out most naturally to the intimate
association
of Love, is minimized in importance by a dulling screen of
abstraction, recessed and rendered so cognitively-oblique as to make
its occasional/irrepressible appearance seem unnatural by
contrast—thereby making the very faculties of our higher-dimensional
birthright automatically suspect, either given completely to
skepticism or tainted with a stigma of 'occultism' so intimidating
as to persuade us to fear—and so retreat from—all which we'd
normally Love, indeed the very codes and biochemical libraries of
Love itself."
"I see. Then you're saying that, if this blanket mental
'straitjacket' wasn't thrown over the mind/body being of Love from
the very beginning, there would be a natural 'route' for Love to
take, one it would find unerringly with the very ease and
sensitivity by which it discriminated 'survivalist' values at the
primary level. And that artificially-concealed 'route', coded into
the very centers and current-processes of the mind/body being, once
entered upon would naturally take consciousness beyond the apparent
antinomies and oppositional principles between which it's
conceptually torn."
"Exactly. It would return to tint plain apparency of
Consciousness,
the true continuity of Identity—i.e. that which exists through the
Whole-being value of Self, Love and Void... the common denominator of
all otherwise-fated patterns of identification fixed to alternating
terms of the polar processes-of-life, where Thanatos may seem to
prevail.
"And that Whole-being value would be realized, in this way, not as
contrasted with the patterns-of-life or fundamentally distinguished
from features of the creative field, but as the inspiriting essence
of all such multidimensional fields. It would be realized as the
Term for which they were coded, the Master of the keys and tumblers
to which the secret of their productivity would yield. Do you begin
to see where the factor of Will comes into all this?"
"Yes—but you know, tell me if I'm on to something or not—it seems to
me now that whatever 'will' is, it isn't radically distinguishable
from Love, from feelings and emotions of the basic Nature..."
"Right."
"And usually, you know, we think of
Will as being something so...
so
stoic, so austere and stern, something that shows no affinity
for the pull of emotions or the flow of feelings but which, on the
contrary, despises them and spares no pity on them—scarcely
tolerates them, you know, and functions at its optimum when their
presence is precisely minimized."
"That is the conventional sense of Will—what brings you to this
alternative consideration?"
"Well, you said something about Will being an inbuilt factor of the
Creative pattern; and it occurs to me that, if some ultimate Essence
or most-valuable term of Identity is realizable through that
pattern, it must be so by virtue of the inherent Presence of that
Will."
"Go on."
"It seems to me then that the presence of Will through the created
patterns-of-Being must signify the way in which Consciousness
presents itself, and takes on organizational value in the creative
field."
"Good."
"Consciousness or—what you call—Whole-value Identity, may become
obscured or functionally displaced through all its reflections and
surrogate patterns-of-identification in the creative field; but at
the same time, since those patterns and that field are expressions
of the 'Logos', which I take to be an Intelligent spirit of
organization, the Logos would incorporate a means of conserving that
Conscious Presence through all the created fields, and of carrying
forward the basic drive or ultimate purpose associated with the
comparative equations between Consciousness and its Creative
potential. If that ultimate purpose has something to do with
reconciling the limitless value of Conscious Identity and the
delimiting powers of the creative field, then it seems to me the
quality that would combine those two factors in its equation—while
neither requiring the immediate awareness of Absolute nor
sanctioning the sense of limit in which it was functionally
embedded—is the quality of Will."
"Why so?"
"Well... Will is certainly
a function of Consciousness, first of
all, without necessarily requiring the Self-reflective recognition
of the Whole-being or limitless value of Consciousness.. in the
human form, for instance, the faculty of will is associated with the
cerebrospinal or conscious axis, the central nervous system to which
the self-reflective power is ascribed. And at the same time, Will
implies a conscious drive, a type of continuous surpassing, moving
beyond—and of course, 'surpassing' automatically suggests the
presence of a provisional 'limit' that is being surpassed."
"Very
good."
"Then if Witt is the instrumental 'representation' or functional
Presence of Consciousness through the creative fields, it must take
its most effective movement therefrom on the basis of Love."
"Why?"
"Well, I'm going by what you said about Love operating on feelings,
intuitions and emotions that in themselves are unerring evaluators
of the types and qualities with which consciousness is confronted in
the created fields.
"On the one hand it seems as if the spirit of love, emotions and
feelings—all of which are so intertwined and identified with the
creative pattern-of-being—must possess that gyroscopic poise in the
first place due to an inbuilt guidance-system of the pattern. Since
they're effective expressions of the pattern and comprise a kind of
resonant index to the psychic harmonics of the pattern, there must
be something about the pattern-of-being altogether to which they're
innately attuned (that is, if there's no interference from
self-doubting forms of mentality, as you described). Just by
reasoning it out as I'm doing now, it seems that the basic harmonics
to which love and the
feeling/emotional nature must be attuned, is the key
resonance-pattern of the creative field itself; if those qualities
have an inbuilt gyroscopic faculty, it can't be independent of the
created patterns of which they're expression. And the existence of
that fundamental harmonics has to be an expression of the Conscious
common denominator or Consistent Term of the creative
field-of-being."
"Good. So Will is."
"In this first case, it would seem that Will is the consistent
integral factor or principle of the creative patterns which binds
their complex harmonics, and at the same time furnishes the uniform
key of their exponent. It isn't just the harmonic integer of any
given present state in the conditional configuration of patterns and
fields, but the consistent Way of their multiplication and
extension, the common means of their magnification or amplification
continuously beyond any given configuration. It's the integral
factor and the transcendent factor, all at once."
"Then it maintains its identity with Spirit-consciousness
(immanent-transcendent etc...) even when it's not immediately
identifiable as spirit - consciousness.''
"It certainty seems so. And in this case, then, it seems that love
is capable of being continuously adjusted and unerringly guided by
Will, as the inbuilt Conscious axis-of-convergence through which the
patterns-of-being are polarized and aligned. In its unclouded state,
the presence of love (or, I guess you'd say, the psychic engagement
of the creative patterns) is able to respond unerringly to the truth
resonating in primary states of feeling and emotion and thereby act
according to discriminatory wisdom in conformance with Will."
"Good."
"And in this sense, then, will seems to become a responsive factor
rather than an initiating factor, having received its gyroscopic
guidance through feeling-sensitivity aligned with the sure,
comprehensive axis of Will, love generates or 'becomes' a kind of
desire to move in the appropriate direction; and when that desire
reaches a certain threshold of active, stable intention it seems to
become an integral expression of—will"
"Then 'will' seems to be a value that shows up at both poles of the
psychic process.''
"Yes. I suppose it's probable that it's really all the same 'will',
just organized somewhat differently as it expresses through the
different stages of 'manifesting'.''
"Perhaps as it becomes more 'personalized'?''
"Yes, it would seem so. That must be it; its abstract
appropriateness as the inbuilt, harmonic guidance-system of the
pattern must become functionally realized through the specific
psychic 'foci' engaging the experiences and products of the pattern.
In fact, it seems it's only in this way that the terms of the Logoic
pattern can ever have any real Merit, or acquire any significance
that means anything more in the balance."
"Then Will doesn't 'predetermine' anything, even though it may be
thought of as the inbuilt guidance-system of the pattern?"
"That's probably correct... just offhand, it seems to me that the way
in which the abstract, informing harmonics of the coaxial value of
Will might manifest in practice, is always a function of the
variable coordinates constituting any given 'juncture' of the
pattern-of-being. And it would be very peculiar if there was only
one 'right' way of operating those coordinates once the spirit of
Will was attuned through them."
"You mean it seems there ought to be an
innate flexibility of
response in any given situation, that would not automatically belie
a 'right way' even in the presence of an appropriately Adjustive
Will."
"Yes. That would in fact be what made the creative pattern-of-being
alive, and vitally significant. It would not have one inbuilt,
concrete 'right way'; the Way is an abstract Spirit of volitional
adjustment to the 'side' of harmony and balance, and it ought to be
able in practice to function through the given coordinates of the
pattern in a variable number of ways that would nonetheless remain
equally
viable expressions of Its spirit despite their divergences, despite
their differences in effect and outcome, despite the variety that
issues from their respective influences."
"Well then, Colonel, what do you think about choices made in
relation to the variable factors of the given pattern which prove to
be inharmonious, which do not take that informing, gyroscopic spirit
of Will as their chief adviser in the upshot but which in effect move
against the grain of innate feeling, fly in the face of instinctual
emotion and 'aligned intuition' and instead opt for the artifice,
the choice-of-being made in response to a deep trepidation and
distrust of Being?"
"That's an interesting question - it seems that, at least
technically, it would still be a function of 'will'... but what sort
of will in this case, hmmm? We can't really say it's consonant with
the spirit of Divine Will, the inbuilt guidance-system of the
pattern - so what 'will' is that, in this case? I see what you
mean..."
"For one thing," MT then resumed the explanation, "it would have to
be a 'Will' which retained the spirit or abstract character defining
the value of will in the first place, in order to continue to
qualify as a technical expression of Will; but it would have to
enforce that abstract character, in this case, over-against the deep
gyroscopic specificity of emotion descriptive of the whole-psychic
engagement of the creative field (i.e. as an expression of the
Love-value obtaining between Consciousness and Its Logos). It would
have to suppress or consciously sacrifice the intrinsic Love-value
of being with its instrumental feelings and emotions, thereby
excising the very term by which the Whole-value of Will could be
realized and implemented as a functional Mean of the creative field.
"Having got rid of the only viable mode by which that Whole-value of
Will could be translated in and through the keys of the creative
field, having eliminated the one vital and organic means meant to
transform Will into real behaviors and productive venues, all that's
left is the stark relation between Will and those patterns (replete
with all the persisting, importunate pressures and demands) but
bereft of the mediating organ, the empathetic agent of the Heart."
"Aha; I begin to see where this is leading us."
"But of course; where there is no longer the innate,
spontaneous
response-pattern of the heart, where love and the feeling/emotional
nature become suppressed or distorted from their immediate reflex as
unerring functions of Will, we have the beginnings of that
preemptive if parasitic presence of the pseudo-will, the
impositional and authoritarian 'will' of the Anti-logos. Wherever
feelings and innate emotional response-patterns are thwarted,
blamed, crippled with the doubt of guilt, there the false-will of
the Luciferian overlord gains firm foothold and usurps the real
functions of the creative pattern; there the simulated enforcements
of the pseudo-Will assert the primacy of Procrustean abstraction, the
parental guilt-conscience of dry categories, inorganic rules and
inflexible doctrine, restrictive ideals and thetic,
socially-sanctioned goals... there creativity is crushed, and sold
piecemeal to the mere technique of 'approved' forms without any
difference being noticed at all."
"I see—'will' becomes something which is... aridly mental—the
expression of a preemptive conceptualizing."
"Yes; the function of 'concept', perfectly legitimate in itself,
is—like everything else—co-opted to the service of that arid spirit.
Then such concepts aren't even the 'end-all/be-all' that they seem;
they're merely expedient means to the ultimate end of killing out
all life, all spontaneity, variability or organic elasticity
altogether thus rendering everything suitably-predictable and
behaviorally programmable to the smallest detail without deviation.
When you can run whole-societies on knee-jerk concepts and
categorial—or distorted— emotions such as 'nationalism' or
'one-worldism' commanding total, irrational allegiance, you can
engineer what otherwise would be the unthinkable—you can get
consciousness to accept anything, to tolerate or even to apparently
require any predetermined thing at all
even if that 'thing' is provably inimical to the well-being of the
individual, the individual's offspring, the society—even life
altogether. And there's the key. Unbelievably enough, you can easily
induce consciousness to accept or even crave what is essentially and
demonstrably anti-life."
"Well; I guess that sums up the Luciferian project, if anything
does."
"Indeed."
