“’Glory to Thee, LORD CREATOR, for having made the teeth of wolves not like the horns of my dear buffalo, for now I can make several excellent combs for my dear wife.’
“And with particular regard to the ‘Chinese seven-toned subdivision of the octave’ which has reached down to your contemporary favorites, then although as I have already said, they use it widely in the process of their ordinary existence, yet at the same time they do not even suspect that such a subdivision was specially created and constructed on those sound principles on which everything existing in the whole of our Great Megalocosmos is maintained.
“If one does not consider that insignificant number of three-brained beings of certain small groups who existed on the continent Asia and who instinctively sensed the hidden meaning of this ‘Chinese division of a whole sound into seven definite centers of gravity’ and reproduced it practically, exclusively only during such being-manifestations of theirs as they considered sacred, then one may boldly say that in the presences of almost all three-brained beings who arose on this planet of yours during recent centuries the data for the cognizance of the altitude of thought and meaning put into this subdivision have already entirely ceased to be crystallized; but the contemporary three-brained beings there who breed on this same continent Asia as well as on all other terra firma of the surface of this planet of yours, having already lost every kind of instinctive feeling, all without exception use it for the satisfaction of only certain of their low purposes, unbecoming to three-brained beings.
“What is most interesting however of all the history related by me concerning the cognizance of the sacred law of Heptaparaparshinokh by three-brained beings who bred on your planet and which concerns chiefly the contemporary beings, is, that although a great number of all kinds of ‘totalities of special information’ or, as they themselves express it, ‘separate branches of scientific knowledge’ again arose among them at the present time and began by them, so to say, to be ‘learned by rote,’ yet concerning the ‘law of vibrations’ – which branch is the most important and which gives the possibility, though approximately, of recognizing reality – there is among them absolutely nothing, if, of course, one does not reckon that celebrated what is called ‘theory of sound,’ which arose comparatively recently, and which is ‘seriously’ studied and, as it were, ‘known’ by their contemporary, as they are called, ‘learned physicists’ and ‘learned musicians.’
