IS BOLSHEVISM COMPATIBLE WITH THE DOCTRINE OF THE THIRD TERM OF THE TRINITY?

Naglowska wrote this article as part of a piece called “Les Questions Sociales,” in La Flèche No. 15, February 15, 1933. The rest of the piece was on feminism, and appears in the next chapter. Naglowska signed both parts with her real name.

On all sides people ask us if bolshevism is compatible with the doctrine of the Third Term of the Trinity. We are eager to respond to this question, especially since it sometimes causes trouble in some of the milieux that are sympathetic to us. Here is what we can say in this regard:

If the bolshevik doctrine presented itself simply as a method for practical organization of the distribution of earthly goods, there would be nothing there to criticize from the point of view of the meta-physic that we preach, for it is perfectly indifferent to us whether the means of production and the production itself should be recognized as private or collective property. What is important is order in human affairs, and if the order is better obtained in one way than another, it is obvious that we should choose the one that is best.

But, unfortunately, bolshevism does not present itself—at least not up until now—as a simple practical doctrine; it encroaches upon a domain that does not belong to it, and that is where the question becomes serious.

Indeed, since their establishment as an official political party at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Russian bolsheviks have clearly pronounced themselves in favor of the materialist philosophy and have systematically given themselves to combating even the idea of any and all religion, qualifying the latter as “bourgeois.” The bolsheviks straightforwardly say that “all religion is a perfidious invention aiming at the oppression of the working class, consequently, the proletariat must fight fiercely and with perseverance against the mystical, against all religious orientation of the spirit.”

Logical in that amongst themselves, the bolsheviks turn their weapons generally against all spiritual philosophies, thus obliging anyone desirous of living in peace with them to consider the problem of one’s daily bread as superseding all the rest. There, obviously, we will never follow them, for us the first rule is the exact opposite: the question of the daily bread should be the last thing that preoccupies every just man, every man and every woman desirous of knowing Truth. In that, also, we are in agreement with all sincere representatives of all the religions of the past and of the future.

We counsel our disciples to reduce their material needs as much as possible, in order to increase their free time, which, according to us, should be devoted to the study of things of the Spirit and to wholesome meditation. According to the state of spirit of the bolsheviks, it is, on the contrary, necessary to attach oneself as much as possible to material things, to visible wealth, and work collectively to acquire it night and day, if necessary. The abyss between the bolshevik conception and ours is, consequently, manifest.

But that is not all. What also bothers us about the bolsheviks is their total incomprehension of the sexual problem, which they pose in the most absurd way, namely: as a question of “the right to pleasure.”

We have said and repeated in all the numbers of our first series of La Flèche that superior sexual love is a priesthood, and inferior sexual love is the duty to procreate. Love practiced for pleasure is a scandal, an infamy!

The bolsheviks, who will never understand that the spirit is in the flesh and that sacerdotal coitus awakens it and carries it to the top of the head, thus causing it to shine forth upon what is commonly called the consciousness, will never be in agreement with us when we repeat that there is no salvation for the world and the generations other than in sex, and that the night that still weighs us down will not be driven away as long as the Light of Sex is not recognized, at least by the elites. Humanity will continue in its error and will adore the Golden Calf, in the capitalist or communist form, as long as the Temple of the religion of the Third Term of the Trinity, the temple of the Divine Mother, is not erected. And wars will rage, revolutions will break out, women will sell their flesh, and men will lose themselves in vice and other debaucheries, as long as the Truth that we proclaim is not understood.

But after that, it will matter little how humans choose to share their earthly goods. Truth will be there, shining forth in the new Temple of the magically united couple, and men and women will know, for one will tell them, and they will understand it, how they must live. All this will happen in its time, at the predetermined hour. In a year? In fifty years? Tomorrow? It matters little. Everything happens in its time.
