Chapitre 33 Belzébuth hypnotiseur de profession
Capítulo 33 Belzebu como hipnotizador profissional.
Beelzebub as professional Hypnotist, continued his experiments up on their psyche chiefly by means of that said particular state of theirs, which the contemporary beings there call the hypnotic state. He began his activities in the capacity of a physician-hypnotist, as in the center of the continent Asia, in various towns of Turkestan. He was first in the town of that part of Turkestan which later came to be called “Chinese Turkestan” in contradistinction to that part of it which, from the time of its conquest by beings belonging to the large community Russia has been called “Russian Turkestan”. At this period of his activities, his existence passed at first chiefly in various towns of Chinese Turkestan, but circumstances so fell out that later he preferred to be in the towns of Russian Turkestan. What he then devised and carried out was the reason why Turkestan ceased to be for him the place of his permanent existence on this planet at the period of this last stay of his and thereafter the cities of the “famous” Europe with their cafes with the “black liquid”—made of nobody knows what—replaced the towns of Turkestan with their “Tchai-kanas” and their delicious fragrant teas.
He decided to go to the country which is a part of the continent Africa and is there called Egypt, having arrived there, he settled down in the city called “Cairo” and very soon organized the external form of his ordinary existence in such a way as to have that rest for his planetary body after the said intense and strenuous labors.
He failed to have a thorough rest in this Egypt because of circumstances which soon led him to depart from there.
