Keep in mind current situation in Ukraine.
How all this usually ends.
These terrifying processes of reciprocal destruction and
of the annihilation of everything they have attained ensue partly from the
following cause in certain periods, when the action of the cosmic law of
Solioonensius makes itself felt in their common presence, arousing in them
the mentioned need for 'freedom,' then on the one hand, the intensity of action
of the data already inherent in them for constantly engendering the impulse of
'timidity' in front of power-possessors automatically diminishes, while on the
other hand, the intensity of action of those strange being-data provoking
'hatred' toward beings of other castes increases.
"That is why I said that this subdivision of your favorites into castes—
bringing about in its total result these uniquely strange being-data which
manifest more and more in their functioning and which flow, as you have
doubtless been convinced by everything I have told you, from the conditions
of their abnormal ordinary being-existence—serves chiefly as the second
factor for the arising of these terrifying processes.
"These terrible processes usually arise and flow in the following sequence:
"It always begins like this Under the influence of the action of
Solioonensius, several beings from one or another group in whom data for
engendering that strange impulse toward beings of other castes, particularly
those of the ruling class, happen to have been crystallized more strongly than
in the rest—see and feel reality more than the others and begin, as is said
there, to 'clamor,' and these 'clamoring orators' become for those around them
what at the present time are usually called 'leaders.'
"And further, thanks both to this 'clamoring' and to the action of the
cosmic law of Solioonensius, which always combine abnormally in their
presences, others in their turn begin to clamor.
"When this uproar among the ordinary beings begins to act too
cacophonously upon what are called the 'effeminate nerves of the left half of
certain power-possessing beings of the community, and these latter give
orders to those whose jobs it is to grease with what is called 'Scottish cream'
the navels of several particularly vociferous clamorers, it is then that these
excesses of theirs begin and rise progressively to a climax—yet in the end, to
the misfortune of your favorites, they always lead to nothing.
How all this usually ends.
"If these processes of theirs had improved the existence of beings of
subsequent generations even a little, then perhaps from the point of view of a
strictly impartial observer they might not appear to be so terrible But to the
misfortune of all the three-brained beings of our Great Universe, no sooner
does the 'blissful action' of this lawful cosmic manifestation cease, and these
terrifying processes come to an end, than there begins again the 'same old
story,' and ordinary being-existence grows more bitter than before and,
parallel with this, there also deteriorates what is called the 'sane awareness of
the sense and aim of their existence. '
"And it deteriorates, in my opinion, chiefly because after these processes,
the leaders of the former ruling class are usually replaced by beings from
other castes which have never had among their representatives, either of the
present or past generations, persons of any experience, conscious or
unconscious, of that being-manifestation which gives the ability to direct the
process of outer existence, and sometimes even of inner existence, of
surrounding beings who although 'similar' to them have not yet attained to
their degree of Reason.
"In all justice it must be admitted that although in the common presence of
the three-brained beings of the former ruling class the data present in their
'subconscious' for engendering real being-Conscience also did not take part in
the functioning of their 'waking consciousness,' these beings at least did have
the habit of ruling, acquired by heredity and improving automatically from
generation to generation.
"On the other hand, in the presence of the beings who have newly attained
to power, not only is real being-Conscience absent, as in the beings of the
former ruling class, but in addition, certain 'charms' begin to manifest in a
particularly stormy way and to give extraordinary and terrible results These
'charms' in general are crystallized in the presence of terrestrial three-brained
beings, especially of recent times, in consequence of the properties of the
organ kundabuffer, such as 'vanity,' 'pride,' 'self-conceit,' 'self-love,' and
others, whose functioning in them is still quite fresh, having almost never
before been 'satisfied' to a sufficient degree.
"To these terrestrial beings who become 'impromptu power-possessors,'
with no hereditary data at all in themselves for even the automatic ability to
rule, one of the sayings of our dear teacher can be fittingly applied
" 'I have yet to meet that idiot used to shuffling about in
a pair of old slippers who would feel comfortable in smart new shoes.
"And really, my boy, each time the action of Solioonensius comes to an
end and a 'relatively normal' existence begins again among your favorites, the
'freshly baked' power-possessing beings 'cut those capers' thanks to which
there is a constant increase in the birth rate of what are called 'slugs,' 'snails,'
'lice,' 'cockroaches,' and many similar parasites which destroy everything
good on that planet.
