across the phenomenal axial divide, is not a context, like physics, of a conscious/unsensuous integrity but, rather, one which, under male hegemonic pressure, will be anti-unconscious and anti-sensuous, thereby allowing a paradoxical deference to consciousness/unsensuousness to obtain from a position that would never be capable of such an integrity itself. But of course subversion of the equivocally hegemonic positions by their upended subordinate counterparts at the behest of the axially polar unequivocally hegemonic positions results in a switch of emphasis from soma to psyche in the chemical/antiphysical case and from psyche to soma in the physical/antichemical case, in order that either church-hegemonic/state-subordi nate criteria stemming from a degree of metaphysics over antimetachemistry or, by contrast, state-hegemonic/church-subordi nate criteria stemming from a degree of metachemistry over antimetaphysics can be axially established and duly maintained, to the advantage of axial stability and continuity. For the Catholic southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass is no more heathenistic in somatic emphasis than the Puritan southeast point of it is overly christianistic, so to speak, in psychic emphasis. Free psyche to bound psyche in the one axial case, free soma to bound soma in the other, would seem to be the guarantors of either church-hegemonic or state-hegemonic criteria, for both genders. But that is another subject and one I have said much about in the past and could say a lot more about in the present, were I not minded of the principal topic of this weblog, which is of the ratios between psyche and soma or soma and psyche, according to gender and class. We do not understand female psychology unless we are aware of the physiology which conditions it, making for subconsciousness in relation to supersensuousness in metachemistry and for unconsciousness in relation to sensuousness in chemistry. Likewise, we shall not understand male physiology unless we are aware of the psychology which conditions it, making for unsensuousness in relation to consciousness in physics and for subsensuousness in relation to superconsciousness in metaphysics. Needless to say, both these class positions are incompatible, since you cannot be conscious/unsensuous and superconscious/subsensuous at the same time, any more than females could transcend their class distinctions and be both supersensuous/subconscious and sensuous/unconscious at the same time. But then compatibility is not an issue from an axial standpoint, which ensures that either antichemistry is polar to metachemistry and physics polar to antimetaphysics or, across the axial divide, that antiphysics is polar to metaphysics and chemistry polar to antimetachemistry. The physical and the metaphysical are not ethnically aligned. Nor are their chemical and metachemical counterparts.
