Metaphysics, Sign-Use and Christology as the Hinge of History Anti-Hegelian Kabalaism

                                    By Sid Thomas

               “A self having knowledge purely of itself in the absolute antithesis of itself, this pure ether as such, is knowledge in universal form; is the very soil where science flourishes.  The beginning of philosophy presupposes or demands from consciousness that it should feel at home in this element.  But this element only attains its perfect meaning and acquires transparency through the process of gradually developing (within) it.” From Hegel’s Phenomenlogy of Spirit,  paragraph 26


This passage presents a three-fold dialectical unfolding of the opposites in  Hegelian terms: of God into Man (first absolute antithesis overcome in the Incarnation); of Humanity as a species into the Individual (second absolute antithesis overcome in history); of Childhood consciousness into individualized singularity (third absolute antithesis overcome in personal life; chrysalis to flower).  The maturity of human consciousness, in him, from infancy to manhood, points the way to a pure energy of self-awareness while in the body.

And in it sits Hegel, himself, incarnate.   As honest philosopher -- of the Spirit, no less -- he would have told us if he had been disembodied while writing those and other words of his magnificent system, as Paul did (Acts. 9.3).  No, he was there.  Perhaps he was not aware of his body, with its brain functions, at the moment of writing – the sited, dated finite events taking place while the words were penned might not have included such – but a body present one must supposed there surely was.  THAT in sublated form, is what is in absolute opposition to consciousness as site of TkenSpace, since the text  written thereon sustains logical relations.

By using the term “ether”, a metaphor from the alchemical principle of Air, Hegel has sublated cortical brain-hum to the space of John Locke’s “impressions in the mind’.* Realists and idealists in the old metaphysical sense experience the same conscious content, from the same kinds of anatomical  arousals, they construct what is real within it differently, by  different grammars of sign-use.

    What Hegel affirms Reality to be is what is in absolute antithesis to the body as an object in three-dimensional space.  That

Dualism was first “impressed” on the to-be personal ego-consciousness in the womb in the psychological tension between fetus and placenta, as has been found out, meaning “we” – each later “me” to be – are born with a pre-disposition to react with impulses pro-, and con -; “innately”, or “instinctually”, as was programmed before birth in utero , then sealed off from conscious recollection by the trauma of birth, itself.

LOSS OF SUBLATION

         Some transitions from one sign to another in TokenSpace recogniozable as ‘logical’, according to an unknown law, which in an anatomical based system such as this, are counted as transformed by off-line conscious processing.  For example, from the experience Hegel was having of himself, through the processes

supporting them, to a verbal equivalent-by-displacement, directing the discharge of their psychodynamic energy toward other objects.

. This would be the site (anatomical) at which the energy of cortical brain functions pushes over onto the sub-cortical, hippocampal circuits activating the amygdalan, with neither stirring up disruptive memory content. What is written on the tabula rosa, then, was not distinguished by Locke as token or text. Sensations and Signs are side-by-side in TokenSpace. The extra loop of brain-functions required to thread use of signs in sentences signifying internal quality-states (including the very particles the visual or aural stimuli arouse upon reaching the brain) that communicate textual content goes unrecognized. The fire is lit by means of which we see, but it does not yet see itself seeing, and therefore is in antithesis to the representation of the body as “ether.” Actually, ether, including oxygen in the air we breath, completes the highest-frequency brain-wave emissions by refreshing red blood cells. (Internal feed-back loop adjustable from the side of consciousness.)

When “God”, sign of Lord of all TokenSpace, is used IN TokenSpace as the name of a particular object  (by one who pronounces it), the Sublation its proper use as a text of a higher order of experience is lost.  “He” becomes “It” – Mr. God, Absolute name (of nothing but its own sound echoing).  To prevent this is one purpose His Son dying served.  It kept YHWH God votaries from killing in His name.  When it, without the Son’s mediation, if re-inserted into History, as Hegel comes close to doing with his metaphysics of Spirit consciousness, loss of sublation turns the once higher sign-use rancid.  What was once bathed in the light of Love is drug through the swamps of hate.  That is surely what will happen if media-adepts start Hegelianizing the kaballah on TV.

What’s up with the Tetragrammaton?  This shows where pop-mysticism

Is going . Fom the Gematria Website: [url]http://www.inner.org/gematria/gemfull.htm[/url] , “It must be emphasized that these different calculations are not mere mathematical exercises. Rather each different numerical equivalent represents a different aspect of Divine influence. The most classic use of these alternate miluim is with regard to Divine Name Havayah (spelled: yud, hei, vav, hei). The gematria of the letters themselves is 26. However, with the milui, different figures are reached dependent on how the vav and hei are spelled. Following are the principal miluim of the Name Havayah discussed in Kabbalah: Havayah of 72 Havayah of 63 Havayah of 45 Havayah of 52 yud yud, vav, dalet =20 yud, vav, dalet =20 yud, vav, dalet =20 yud, vav, dalet =20 hei hei, yud =15 hei, yud =15 hei, alef =6 hei, hei =10 vav vav, yud, vav =22 vav, alef, vav =13 vav, alef, vav =13 vav, vav =12 hei hei, yud =15 hei, yud =15 hei, alef =6 hei, hei =10 total milui =72 total milui =63 total milui =45 total milui =52 These four sums, 72, 63, 45, 52, correspond themselves to the four letters of God's name Havayah (and the ten sefirot) as follows: Letter of Havayah Havayah of: The Ten Sefirot yud 72 Chochmah Insight, wisdom hei 63 Binah Understanding vav 45 chesed to Yesod The Emotional Attributes hei 52 malchut Kingship Each of the letters hei, vav, hei of the Name Havayah possesses three variant spellings. Thus, there are 27 (3 to the 3rd) possible miluim of Holy Name. There are thirteen possible numerical equivalents ranging from 44 to 72, with a midpoint of 58 (= chen). When added together, the total of all the miluim is 1521, which equals 39 squared. Thirty-nine is the numerical equivalent of Hashem Echad ("God is One"). The four forms of the Name Havayah cited above are considered to be the most essential forms and each correspond to a different letter of God's name, as above. When their sum, 232, is divided by four, the number 58 (= chen) is again reached. Similarly, 232 is numerically equivalent to yehi or ("Let there be light"), the first of the utterances of Creation. ****. With due respect to the power of Hegel’s system, it is rendered helpless by this assault on truth in Tokenspace. With rabiis predicating on “G-d/YHWH” in their Temples, and neo-kabballah mystics decoding the secret numbers of the universe transmitted thereby, what was sublated through Spirit is de-sublimated through sex. Madona opening up Hotel Kabala for the kuwalas.

Tokenspace  per se, as was just seen, was equated with the Phenomenal Spirit by Hegel.  This purity, as a position of consciousness, has no defense against the kabalastic Sepherioth inserted into the starry metaphysical Heavens.  Yet a defense  must be found, for the project feeds off transcendental illusion.  It substitutes a subjective closure of TokenSpace for the objective One, when it is not even square with itself.  This makes it a vortex of non-being.  The proof that it is not square with itself lies in the antinomies its grammar is pregnant with.  (nothing is something).

Hegel does not understand the power of tokens to import content.  For instance, he treats “God” in the following passage as the subject of a sentence asserting attributes – scathing in his denunciation of Godtalk by his contemporaries.  “The need to think of the Absolute as subject, has led men to make use of statements like “God is eternal:. “the moral order of the world’. “love”, etc.  In such propositions the truth is just barely stated to be Subject, but not set forth as the process of reflectively mediating itself with itself.  In a proposition of that kind we begin with the word God.  By itself this is a meaningless sound, a mere name; the predicate says afterwards what  it is, gives it content, and meaning:  the empty beginning becomes real knowledge only when we thus get to the end of the statement.”  But this glosses over the token (sound of the word “god”) to get to the text (use of the sound a as subject of predication),  If what has been advanced at great length and pains above is correct, however, the token communicates its own content; and this, in particular unique case, goes over by immediate association to “YHWH” (for Judeo-Christians; “NINURTA” etc. for Sumerians).  The processing loop passed through arouses deepest psycho-historical content as amygdalan memory.   This psychic force cannot be resisted if engaged head-on, but will overwhelm rational ego-systems for relating to reality until stopped.

Hegel’s God is the One from which all Reality flows, as predicates of   Subject Absolute. This give a metaphysical seat of consciousness, but only through God as Absolute.  The problem of non-being unsolved.  Parmenides does not yield.  However, within the One, as pure emanation of Being, there unfolds the Form of the Trinity in the Quadriviuum.  These were the mathematical sciences recognized by  medieval universities:  Arithmetic, Geometry, Music, Astronomy. This objective ground of formal science remain, but it is not learned or taught as a unity anywhere today.
