Chapitre 26 Légamonisme concernant les réflexions du Très Saint Ashyata Sheyimash sous le titre « Horreur de la Situation »
Capítulo 26 O Legominismo concernente às deliberações do Mui Santíssimo Ashyata Shiemash sob o título de “O Horror-da-Situação”.
Continuing his narration Beelzebub explains to Hassein everything that he found out, at the beginning of his last descent to the planet Earth, about the Legominism entitled “The Terror of the Situation” through which the deliberations of the Very Saintly Ashiata Shiemash were transmitted. According to the narration when Ashiata Shiemash became a responsible being, before making his choice of one of the three sacred ways for self-perfecting foreordained by our Endless Creator Himself, that is, through the sacred ways based on the being-impulses called “Faith,” “Hope,’ and “Love,” he decided to bring his planetary body into the state of the sacred “ksherknara”, that is, into the state of “all-brains-balanced being-perceptiveness,” and only in that state to choose the way for his future activities.
With this aim he ascended “Mount Veziniama,” where for forty days and nights he knelt on his knees and devoted himself to concentration. This pondering of his made it categorically clear to him that all the genuine functions proper to men-beings—as they are proper to all three-centered beings of our Great Universe—had already degenerated in their remote ancestors into quite other functions, which were included among the properties of the organ kundabuffer, and were very similar to the genuine sacred being-functions of Faith, Hope, and Love.
When he returned from Mount Veziniama to the city of Babylon, he continued his observations in order to discover whether it would be possible to help these unfortunates in some other way. And in the course of a year of special observations of all their manifestations and perceptions, he made it categorically clear to himself that although the factors for engendering in their presence the sacred being-impulses of Faith, Love, and Hope had completely degenerated in the beings of that planet, nevertheless, the factor that should engender that being-impulse on which, in general, the whole psyche of beings of a three-brained system is based, namely, the impulse existing under the name of “Objective Conscience,” was not yet atrophied in them, and remained in their presence almost in its primordial state. Thanks to the abnormally established conditions of ordinary external being-existence there, this factor gradually sank into that consciousness of theirs which they call the “subconscious,” and as a result, it takes no part whatever in the functioning of their ordinary consciousness.
Beelzebub tells Hassein that when, early in his last sojourn on the surface of the planet Earth, he first learned the details of this legominism, he at once became interested in the deductions of this later Most High, Very Saintly Common-Cosmic Individual, Ashiata Shiemash, and he resolved to investigate in detail and make entirely clear to himself what measures he had taken and how he had carried out in order to help these unfortunates to free themselves from the consequences of the properties of the organ kundabuffer, which had passed to them by heredity and were so maleficent to them.
In the course of his subsequent investigations it turned out that, later on, when this Very Saintly Ashiata Shiemash had established the particular conditions of ordinary being-existence he had planned, several of these tablets, on his advice and initiative, were set up in appropriate places in many of the large towns, and upon them were engraved all kinds of precepts and counsels for a corresponding existence. But later when their big wars begun again, all these tablets were destroyed by these strange beings themselves, with the exception of that one which has somehow remained intact, and is now the property of the ‘Olbogmek Brotherhood.’
As he says to Hassein, his research and investigations concerning the further activities of the Very Saintly Ashiata Shiemash made the following clear to him. When this great, and as regards his Reason almost incomparable, Sacred Individual became definitely convinced that the sacred ways that exist for the purpose of self-perfection for all three-brained beings of the Universe were no longer suitable for the beings of the planet Earth, then, after his year of special observation and studies of their psyche, he again ascended that same Mount Veziniama, and for several terrestrial months contemplated and pondered how to carry out his decision, that is, to save the beings of this planet from their inherited predisposition to the crystallization of the consequences of the properties of the organ kundabuffer, by means of those data which remained intact in their subconscious for the fundamental sacred being-impulse, Conscience.
This pondering of his definitely convinced him that it would indeed be possible to save them by means of the data in their common presence for engendering this sacred being-impulse, but only if the manifestations of these data surviving in the subconscious were without fail to participate in the functioning of the consciousness under whose direction their daily waking existence flows, and furthermore, only if this being-impulse were to be manifested over a long period through every aspect of this consciousness of theirs.
