Whereupon she immediately, without hesitation, and with a perceptible impulse of disdain for all around her, and with commendable self-cognizance, gave up her soul directly into the hands of His Truthfulness, the ARCHANGEL Gabriel. BTG I

“The results of these experiments having been approved and blessed by the Commission of Inspection under the presidency of ARCHANGEL Adossia, the construction of a big ship based on these principles was begun. BTG IV

V The System of ARCHANGEL Hariton BTG V

And indeed, soon after this rumor, practical experiments open to all, again under the superintendence of the Great ARCHANGEL Adossia, were made with this new and later very famous invention. BTG V

“That system of the Great Angel, now ARCHANGEL, Hariton is now in use everywhere at the present day. BTG V

“Now, after your explanation, I can well understand how the cylinder of the system of ARCHANGEL Hariton works. It is the very thing of which these unfortunates there dreamed. BTG VI

“Indeed, of the ‘cylinder’ of the system of the ARCHANGEL Hariton it can safely be said that, with atmosphere alone given, it will work perpetually without needing the expenditure of any outside materials. BTG VI

“And since the world without planets and hence without atmospheres cannot exist, then it follows that as long as the world exists and, in consequence, atmospheres, the cylinder-barrels invented by the great ARCHANGEL Hariton will always work. BTG VI

“In consequence of this report, a whole commission consisting of Angels and ARCHANGELs, specialists in the work of World-creation and World-maintenance, under the direction of the Most Great ARCHANGEL Sakaki, was immediately sent from the Most Holy Sun Absolute to that solar system ‘Ors’. BTG IX

“And so, my boy, inasmuch as such a cosmic actualization was possible only with the sanction of HIS ENDLESSNESS, the Great ARCHANGEL Sakaki, accompanied by several other sacred members of that Most High Commission, set off immediately to HIS ENDLESSNESS to beseech Him to give the said sanction. BTG IX

“And afterwards, when the said Sacred Individuals had obtained the sanction of HIS ENDLESSNESS for the actualization of the Ilnosoparnian process on that planet also, and when this process had been actualized under the direction of the same Great ARCHANGEL Sakaki, then from that time on, on that planet also, just as on many others, there began to arise the ‘Corresponding’, owing to which the said detached fragments exist until now without constituting a menace for a catastrophe on a great scale. BTG IX

“And therefore, my boy, if the Most High Commission under the supreme direction of the same ARCHANGEL Sakaki had not, at the end of a year, gone there again, perhaps all the subsequent misunderstandings connected with the three-brained beings arising on that ill-fated planet might not have occurred. BTG X

“Having made this organ grow in the presences of the three-brained beings and having seen that it would work, the Most High Commission consisting of Sacred Individuals headed by the ARCHANGEL Sakaki, reassured and with good consciences, returned to the center, while there, on the planet Earth which has taken your fancy, the action of this astonishing and exceedingly ingenious invention began from the first day to develop, and developed, as the wise Mullah Nassr Eddin would say — ‘like a Jericho-trumpet-in-crescendo’. BTG X

“Meanwhile you must note that there was still a third descent of that Most High Commission to that planet, three years later according to objective time-calculations, but this time it was under the direction of the Most-Great-Arch-Seraph Sevohtartra, the Most Great ARCHANGEL Sakaki having, in the meantime, become worthy to become the divine Individual he now is, namely, one of the four Quarter-Maintainers of the whole Universe. BTG X

“It may be not without interest for you to know that all these calculations were partly explained to me by the Great Arch-Engineer of the universe, His Measurability, ARCHANGEL Alagamatant. BTG XVI

“Among these Most High Sacred Individuals there was again His Conformity, the Angel — now already an ARCHANGEL — Looisos, of whom, do you remember, I recently told you that during the first great catastrophe to the planet Earth he had been one of the chief regulators in the matter of averting the consequences of that general cosmic misfortune. BTG XIX

“I learned afterwards that this story reached His All Quarters-Maintainer, the Most Great ARCHANGEL ‘Setrenotzinarco’, the All-Quarters-Maintainer of that part of the Universe to which that system Ors belongs, and that He manifested his pleasure by giving to whom it was proper, a command concerning the soul of this terrestrial friend of mine. BTG XIX

“He told them that the ARCHANGEL Looisos had by a special means made this organ grow in their ancestors at the extremity of that brain which in the., just as in you, Nature has placed along their back in what is called the spinal column’. BTG XXI

“Just before our flight from the planet Karatas”, continued Ahoon, “I had the pleasure of meeting the ARCHANGEL Viloyer, the Governor of our solar system, and His Splendiferousness condescended to recognize me and to speak to me. BTG XXII

“Perhaps you remember, your Right Reverence, that while we were existing on the planet Zernakoor, His Splendiferousness ARCHANGEL Viloyer was still an ordinary angel, and used often to drop in to see us? BTG XXII

“So when His Splendiferousness, during our conversation, heard the name of that solar system where we were exiled, he told me that at the last most high and most sacred reception of finally returned cosmic results, a certain Individual, Saint Lama, had had the privilege of personally presenting at the feet of our ENDLESS UNI-BEING, in the presence of all the Most High Individuals, a certain petition regarding the abnormal growth of the elevations of some planet — it seems just of that solar system — and having received this request, our ALL-GRACIOUS ENDLESSNESS immediately ordered ARCHANGEL Looisos to he dispatched to that solar system where, as one familiar with that system, he might there on the spot clarify the causes of the manifestation of the said projections and take appropriate measures. BTG XXII

“That is why His Conformity ARCHANGEL Looisos is at the present time hastily winding up his current affairs in order to set off there”. BTG XXII

“The system of this kind of ‘Egolionopty’ was, it seems, invented specially for this holy planet by the famous angel, now already ARCHANGEL Herkission”. BTG XXXIX

“Thanks to this abnormal education of theirs, not only is nothing crystallized in them to enable them to reflect and actualize anything effective in practice, but on the contrary, thanks to this abnormal education those many consequences of the properties of the for them accursed organ Kundabuffer devised by the great Angel, now already ARCHANGEL Looisos, are gradually formed in them and become organic functions, and, being transmitted by heredity from one generation to another, are in general crystallized in the psyche of these unfortunates. BTG XLIII

“I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate — by means of the process of their existence — the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now ARCHANGEL Looisos.
