The Dominion of Aleph is in the misty realm of higher mathematics. In counting from one to infinity, the number eventually “reached” is defined as Aleph. In homage to Charles Reich, let us denote as Consciousness Aleph an idealized terminus of the evolution of Social Consciousness. The topography of this illusory land will differ markedly from that of Reich’s emerging Consciousness Ill. For it will be landscaped by individuals rather than by stereotypical conformists masquerading as individuals. By people who are not merely “bright,” but intelligent as well. By people who are not willfully irrational, because they have bothered to learn what “rationality” is.
It is time to ask why these two realms are so far apart. And how to build a bridge between them.
