“So, my boy, the Party-Pythoness there was able to warn those beings of our tribe who had been obliged to exist on that planet, and thereby to save them, as I have already told you, from the inevitable ‘Apocalyptic-fate’, owing only to one special BEING-PROPERTY which, by the way, can be acquired by beings only intentionally, by means of what is called being-Partkdolg-duty, about which I shall tell you later. BTG XIX

“So that you may be able to put yourself in the place of that sympathetic Assyrian, I shall also explain to you that in general on your planet, then in the city of Babylon as well as at the present time, all the theories on such a question as they call it of ‘the beyond’, or any other ‘elucidation-of-details’ of any definite ‘fact’, are invented by those three-brained beings there in whom most of the consequences of the properties of the organ Kundabuffer are completely crystallized, in consequence of which there actively functions in their presence, that BEING-PROPERTY, which they themselves call ‘cunning’. Owing to this, they consciously – of course consciously only with the sort of reason which it has already become long ago proper for them alone to possess – and moreover, merely automatically, gradually acquire in their common presence, the capacity for ‘spotting’ the weakness of the psyche of the surrounding beings like themselves; and this capacity gradually forms in them data which enables them at times to sense and even to understand the peculiar logic of the beings around them, and according to these data, they invent and propound one of their ‘theories’ concerning this or that question; and because, as I have already told you, in most of the three-brained beings there, owing to the abnormal conditions of ordinary being-existence established there by them themselves, the being-function called ‘instinctively-to-sense-cosmic-truths’ gradually atrophies, then, if any one of them happens to devote himself to the detailed study of any one of these ‘theories’, he is bound, whether he wishes or not, to be persuaded by it with the whole of his presence. BTG XXIV

“From the time when the said egoism had become completely ‘inoculated’ in the presences of your favorites this particular BEING-PROPERTY became, in its turn, the fundamental contributory factor in the gradual crystallization in their general psyche of the data for the arising of still several other quite exclusively-particular being-impulses now existing there under the names of ‘cunning’, ‘envy’, ‘hate’, ‘hypocrisy’, ‘contempt’, ‘haughtiness’, ‘servility’, ‘slyness’, ‘ambition’, ‘double-facedness’, and so on and so forth. BTG XXVII

“Well then, these three learned beings who were thus cast impromptu by the fourth learned being for fulfilling every kind of perception and manifestation, which had to flow by law, of types foreign to them, or, as your favorites say, of ‘strange roles’, namely, of the roles of cobbler, soldier, and policeman, further produced their experiencings, and, from them, their reflex manifestations, thanks to the BEING-PROPERTY in them called ‘Ikriltazkakra’ – a property also well known to the learned beings of the planet Earth of that period, who were already able to perfect their presences up to the ableness of actualizing this property. BTG XXX

“Three-centered beings can acquire this said BEING-PROPERTY called Ikriltazkakra only if there is already personally acquired in their presences what is called ‘Essoaieritoorassnian-will’, which in its turn can be obtained thanks to always the same being-Partkdolg-duty, that is, to conscious labors and intentional sufferings. BTG XXX

“They reproduced them well and accurately not only because as I have already explained they possessed the BEING-PROPERTY Ikriltazkakra, but also because the learned beings of the planet Earth of that time were very well aware of what is called the ‘law-of-typicality’, and that the three-brained beings of their planet are ultimately formed into twenty-seven different definite types, and also in which cases what had to be perceived and how it had to be perceived, and how they had to manifest themselves. BTG XXX

“Concerning the said BEING-PROPERTY I have just called Ikriltazkakra, I must add further that just this property alone gives beings the possibility of restraining themselves within the limits of all these impulses and promptings which are evoked at any given moment in their common presences by the associations flowing in that brain in which they themselves have consciously given the start for the associations of one or another series of impressions already present in them; and it is only thanks to this property that beings have the possibility of perceiving every kind of detail of the psyche of the type they have already previously well studied and of manifesting themselves similarly to it and fully impersonating it. BTG XXX

“So, my boy, in view of the fact that there continue to flow in the presences also of your contemporary favorites three kinds of independent associations which also continue to evoke different kinds of being-impulses, and at the same time that they have already entirely ceased the conscious actualization in their presences of all those cosmic results by means of which alone the mentioned BEING-PROPERTY can be acquired in three-brained beings, then, in consequence, the common presence of each of your contemporary favorites during the process of his existence consists, as I have already told you, as it were, of three quite separate personalities – three personalities which have and can have nothing in common with each other, either in respect of the nature of their arising or in respect of their manifestations. BTG XXX

“In the Chinese division of the octave into whole notes this BEING-PROPERTY was not at all taken into account. BTG XL

“And these various forms of mutual relationship among them were formed of themselves after the BEING-PROPERTY of sensing the inner feeling of similar beings in relation to oneself had become quite atrophied in their psyche which property must infallibly exist in all beings of our Great Universe without distinction of form or place of arising.
