“Before beginning his explanations I think it not inadvisable to warn you once and for all that all my conversations with various three-centered beings arising and existing on various planets of that system where I was obliged to exist for the ‘Sins of my youth’ -, as for instance in the present case, the conversations with this Gornahoor Harharkh which I am now about to relate to you while we travel on the space-ship Karnak – all proceeded in dialects still quite unknown to you, and sometimes even, by the way, in such dialects the consonances of which were quite ‘indigestible’ for perception by normal BEING-FUNCTIONS assigned for this purpose. BTG XVIII

“Having said this, he again pointed to the Hrhaharhtzaha and added that by means of the elucidating apparatus, not only can any ordinary being clearly understand the details of the properties of the three absolutely independent parts – which in their manifestations have nothing in common of the whole ‘Unique-Active-Element ‘, the particularities of which are the chief cause of everything existing in the Universe, but also any ordinary being can become categorically convinced that no results of any kind normally obtained from the processes occurring through this Omnipresent World-substance can ever be perceived by beings or sensed by then; certain BEING-FUNCTIONS however can perceive only those results of the said processes which proceed for some reason or other abnormally, on account of causes coming from without and issuing either from conscious sources or from accidental mechanical results. BTG XVIII

“To enable you to represent to yourself and understand better the perfection of this part also of the whole of this new invention of Gornahoor Harharkh, I must not fail to tell you also about the following: “Although I personally. as a three-brained being also, had had occasion many times before, owing to certain quite particular reasons, to be in atmosphereless spaces and had had to exist, sometimes for a long time, by means of the Sacred ‘Kreemhoolazoomara’ alone; and although from frequent repetition a habit had been acquired in my presence of moving from one sphere to another gradually and almost without feeling any inconvenience from the change in the presence of the ‘second-being-food’ occurring with the change of the presences of cosmic substances undergoing transformation and which are always around both large and small cosmic concentrations; and also, although the causes themselves of my arising and the subsequent process of my being-existence were arranged in an entirely special way, in consequence of which the various BEING-FUNCTIONS contained within my common presence had perforce gradually become also special, yet nevertheless, in spite of it all, the pumping out of the atmosphere by the said ‘pump’ then proceeded with such force that such sensations were impressed on the separate parts of the whole of my presence that even today I can very clearly experience the process of the flow of my state at that time and relate it to you almost in detail. BTG XVIII

“‘These meditations of mine made it categorically clear to me, that all the genuine functions proper to men-beings, as they are proper to all the three-centered beings of our Great Universe, had already degenerated in their remote ancestors into other functions, namely, into functions included among the properties of the organ Kundabuffer which were very similar to the genuine sacred BEING-FUNCTIONS of Faith, Love, and Hope. BTG XXVI

“It may be noted, for example, that, indeed, in all the beings of that large community Russia, only one or two centuries ago, before they had yet begun to imitate everything European, these two BEING-FUNCTIONS still obtained which are called ‘Martaadamlik’ and ‘Nammuslik’, or – as these being-feelings are still called – the ‘feeling-of-religiousness’ and the ‘feeling-of-patriarchality’. BTG XXXVIII

“The point is, that it has long ago been determined that in general the possibility of long existence for a three-brained being of your planet- depends at the present time exclusively only on the normal action of these two aforementioned BEING-FUNCTIONS, namely, upon the state of their as they say ‘digestion’ and upon the functioning of their ‘sex organs’. BTG XLII

“So long as the previous relatively normal system still prevailed among the beings there for the said BEING-FUNCTIONS, everything went along very peacefully and quietly, but as soon as certain what are called power-possessing and wealth-possessing beings of that time had invented for this purpose the mentioned ‘comfortable beds’ which came to be called ‘if you wish to enjoy felicity then enjoy it with a bang’, there then began among the ordinary beings of that time that which led to the said serious and deplorable consequences. BTG XLII

“Even their weight did not diminish. Only after five months did its harmful effect begin to be evident in the common presence of a being in the gradual weakened functioning of certain perceptive organs and of tee manifestations of their so to say ableness and sensitiveness. For example, their voices would grow weaker, and their sight, hearing, and so on, worse. Furthermore, in several of them from the beginning of the derangement of these BEING-FUNCTIONS, changes were observed in their common psychic state. BTG XLII

“It would be more correct because the contemporary intelligentsia there can themselves not only give absolutely no direction at all to their BEING-FUNCTIONS, but there are already finally atrophied in them even those data for impulses of essence-initiative for daily being-existence which in general are always placed by Great Nature herself in all three-centered beings at their arising.
