Consider instead that the Catholic Monad can only be opposed by the Gnostic Monad, the distinction being hidden in plain sight: the body and the cross coinciding and sardonically constituting a synthesis, the two ever-forming perverse coinciding syntheses and synthesized coincidences, as from the vantage point of the Atonement, as vulgar Christianity, and the body and the cross as discrete and arelational, circumscribed by the abolishing of the fatal front line between them, as they are from the vantage point of the Victor, as the disjunctive synthesis of Gnosticism. To briefly hijack the otherwise useless idea of spacetime, consider Christological spacetime, the Atonement vs. the Victor as leaving the cross in opposite ways: the "resurrection" of the former merely rewinds the crucifixion, walking backward until its own alleged necessity forces it to return, per Catholicism, the Catholic second coming is a fragment of the Judaic hope for the Messiah, or until it stumbles backward onto another cross, per Gnosticism, all the things allegedly delivered by the Atonement being precisely those that made it allegedly necessary in the first place, the dispensed spirit being a fragment of the spirit ever-destroyed by presence, not even myopic but blind paganism, the hypercadaver "experiencing itself" as an Old Testament nightmare; whereas the "resurrection" of the latter truly dies, per Gnosticism, it is truly consummated, absent, Jesus is neither the son of Joseph nor of Yaldabaoth. Note how there is no "per Catholicism" here, the Catholic himself concedes as much, otherwise he would not have subordinated the literal "dead" in Revelation 1:18 to musing about Hell. What is hidden in plain sight in Matthew 27:46? The first layer would be that it is dark humor at the expense of the spectators, foretelling the end of Judaism as they knew it, in that they were the ones about to die forsaken by their God, the second layer would be that it is an oriental self-exorcism, dying to one's self and such, the third layer would be that it does not "mean" anything at all, it is a literal description of the Christological advent itself: Yaldabaoth moves but Jesus does not. Dying banished by death. The Atonement embedded in the Phenomenal world as the present "vanishing mediator" of a vanishing world, the Victor as the absent vanishing point of vanishing from the world, the destruction of the excrescent hole of reverse theft. Catholics say that Jesus resurrected in body and spirit, some Gnostics say that he only resurrected in spirit, others that he did not resurrect at all, whereas I not only say that he did not resurrect at all, but that it is precisely by his absence that he truly appears as triumphant and presents a vista otherwise impossible, that he resurrected in death alone, truly "the first begotten of the dead".
