“But never do their outer manifestations in general nor those innerbeing-impulses of theirs, which ought to be under the directive of their being-’I,’ proceed according to their own wish resulting from the whole of their entire presence.

“I must here tell you further that certain of those terrestrial ‘intelligentsics,’ in whom during the period of their responsible existence certain already established forms of their inner functioning have, for various reasons, become definitely changed, are no longer called by the other terrestrial beings ‘intelligentsics’ but are given other names composed of different words, or, more exactly, of the roots of the words of ancient Greek.

“Namely, they name them:

’Bureaucrats’

’Plutocrats’

’Theocrats’

’Democrats’

Zevrocrats

’Aristocrats’

and so on. . .

“The first of the names enumerated, namely, bureaucrats, is given to those intelligentsics in whom the series of their ordinary automatic associations already present in them which engender experiencings are limited, that is to say, however varied the shocks coming from without may be, associations are evoked in these bureaucrats of always the same experiencings which thanks to the frequent repetition acquire their own specific character and manifest quite independently without the participation of any separate spiritualized being-part whatsoever of their common presence.
