Chapitre 37 La France
Capítulo 37 França.
Beelzebub, continuing his narration about the countries he visited during his sixth sojourn on the Planet Earth, he tells Hassein that after Germany, he went to Italy and then he settled in France, among the beings of the community, who became for the beings of the community Russia what are called the “sources” for the satisfaction of that Vice which long before had become fixed in the abnormal process of the ordinary being-existence of terrestrial three-brained beings of recent centuries and which is called ‘suggestibility’.
According to his narration although earlier, he had sometimes been in just that community France, he had paid no special attention to the particulars of the psyche of those beings and to that opinion which beings of nearly all the other communities there had about them, who considered them “immoral” and “depraved”. When he settled in one of the provincial towns there, he instinctively expected to perceive impressions from “immoral” and “depraved” manifestations of the local beings, he, to his great and ever-increasing surprise, ascertained first of all that he would not perceive anything of the kind. On the contrary they seemed to be the most “patriarchal” and “modest” beings of all the three-brained beings who were grouped on the continent Europe. So he then began specially to observe and to acquire corresponding information, in order to elucidate the basic causes of that misunderstanding. For the elucidation of these causes, the following facts then served there, and also his impartial observations and considerations. He went this time to that capital named “Paris”, which the contemporary three-brained beings breeding on all the continents, consider also such a center of their imagined culture as the cities Samlios, Koorkalai, Babylon and so on, were for the beings of former periods in their time and the day after his arrival, he inquired for a certain being from Persia to whom he had an introduction from one of his good friends and together they visited several cafes and clubs in Montmarte. He noticed that all those establishments were destined for the beings who came from other communities of the European continent or other continents and no one came from France. Visiting these disreputable places, they eventually reached the streets of the famous Montmarte, which abounds in every kind of nocturnal maleficent “disreputable establishment”, destined however not for the beings of that community France, but exclusively for “foreigners”.
Beelzebub sighed deeply and he sadly told Hassein that as he was telling him about that evening he spent in the restaurant in Montmarte involuntarily revived in him the “being-Sarpitimnian-experiencing”, which he experienced at that time. He confides in Hassein that for the second time in the hole of his existence, there proceeded in his Being the process of this same being-Sarpitimnian-experiencing, which had engendered in his common presence a revolt on account of various unforeseeingnesses on the part of our Most High, Most Saintly Cosmic Individuals, and of all the objective misfortunes flowing from them, which have already obtained and, maybe, will still continue to obtain on this planet Earth as well as in all our Great Universe.
Expressing his thoughts aloud, he wonders how it was possible not to foresee in their calculations of the harmonious movement of cosmic concentrations that the comet Kondoor would collide with this ill-fated planet Earth. That by implanting the organ Kundabuffer, although it was later destroyed, the fundamental Cosmic Law Heptaparaparshinokh with its “Mdnel-Ins” would nevertheless remain, in the sense of the evolutionary process for the three-brained beings of the planet Earth just as for everything existing in the whole Universe. And thanks particularly to the second almost criminal “unforeseeingness” that this situation, terrifying for the three-brained beings, obtains there, namely, thanks to the crystallization which has become inherent in them of the various consequences of the organ Kundabuffer, it is almost impossible for them to carry the higher sacred parts coated in them up to the required degree of perfecting.
During these long centuries many scared Individuals have been sent down to them here from Above with the special aim of helping them to deliver themselves from the consequences of the properties of the organ Kundabuffer, yet nevertheless nothing has changed here and the whole process of ordinary being-existence has remained as before. During this time, no difference whatsoever has arisen between those three-brained beings of this planet, who existed nearly a hundred of their centuries ago, and the contemporary ones.
As he brought into his mind all the pictures of their centers-of-culture that were destroyed during these centuries that he visited the planet Earth, he wondered: Do not these beings of today gather together to pass the time in a way unbecoming to three-centered beings, as three-centered beings used to pass the time in all former periods of existence on that unfortunate planet? What will become of this contemporary center-of-culture of theirs, of the city Paris, future centuries will show.
Continuing his narration about that evening he spent in Montmarte he refers to an American he met that night and that, from their conversations it was made clear how American businessmen take advantage of their compatriots’ weakness for “Paris fashion”.
While pondering, on their way home from that famous Montmarte, over everything he had seen and heard ,it was then that he understood why and how such an opinion not corresponding to reality about the beings of that community France which they always have, had been formed in the beings belonging to other communities .He explains to Hassein that in view of the fact that generally the capacity for being-rumination in contemporary beings becomes atrophied and what is called a ‘wide-being-horizon’ is absent, they take everything and regard everything as ‘French’ and afterwards, when they return to their community again they always relate to other beings of their community about everything they have seen , heard, and experienced in that part of Paris as if it were entirely of French origin and that French beings did it all. Moreover, there is also another and deeper cause for this opinion which had been formed about the beings of the community France in the peculiar consciousnesses of the beings of other communities, and in the given case it is also based on one of the peculiarities of their general psyche. This peculiarity is acquired in them, once again thanks to that maleficent usage invented by themselves which they call ‘education’. Beelzebub expresses his sympathy for the French as well as his admiration that the majority of them preserve in their presences those data for the two being-impulses on which objective being-morality is chiefly based ,and which are called ‘patriarchality’, that is, love of family, and ‘organic shame’. Owing to all this, in the contemporary center of the whole planet, those beings rush and flock from the whole planet, who have completely given themselves up to the ‘evil–God’; to that ‘evil–God’ who became their Ideal, and the conception of whom is very well expressed in the words:“ to-attain-to-a-complete-absence-of-the-need-for-being-effort-and-for-every-essence-anxiety-of-whatever-kind-it-may-be”; and they have consciously or unconsciously, a corresponding harmful influence on the beings of the whole community.
As such a harmful influence he mentions fashion which existed during the Tikliamishian civilization under the name “Adiat” and at the time of Babylon, under the name “Haida” and that fashions are like their customs, but the difference is that these contemporary customs or fashions are only temporary and thus serve for the satisfaction only of the personal insignificant aims of these present and future Hasnamusses who express their particular qualities by creating new fashion which is universally spread.
