CENTRIST
EVOLUTION
As
appearance gives way to essence
In
the overall evolution of human life,
So
must Social Transcendentalism eventually
Be
superseded by Super-transcendentalism,
In
order that the second and higher phase
Of
Centrist civilization may come to pass
And
bring Centrism to maturity,
Through
the purest meditation,
In the ripe wisdom of a beingful essence.
This
meditation of the noumenal self upon itself
Will
supersede contemplation of the other in the self,
Pure
transcendentalism superseding
The
impure transcendentalism of the hallucinogenic trip,
Just
as, in the Christian West, puritanical Protestantism
Superseded
visionary Catholicism
In
the evolution of Christianity
From appearance to essence, doing to being.
Phases
cannot be escaped, and if the second phase
Of
Centrism must wait until the first phase
Has
properly run its course, then so be it!
