“The Terror-of-the-Situation”

“ ‘Here, in these times, if one of those three-brained beings “loves” somebody or other, then he loves him either because the latter always encourages and undeservingly flatters him; or because his nose is much like the nose of that female or male, with whom thanks to the cosmic law of “polarity” or “type” a relation has been established which has not yet been broken; or finally, he loves him only because the latter’s uncle is in a big way of business and may one day give him a boost, and so on and so forth.

“ ‘But never do beings-men here love with genuine, impartial and non-egoistic love.

“ ‘Thanks to this kind of love in the contemporary beings here, their hereditary predispositions to the crystallizations of the consequences of the properties of the organ Kundabuffer are crystallized at the present time without hindrance, and finally become fixed in their nature as a lawful part of them.

“ ‘And as regards the third sacred being-impulse, namely, “essence-hope,” its plight in the presences of the three-centered beings here is even worse than with the first two.

“ ‘Such a being-impulse has not only finally adapted itself in them to the whole of their presences in a distorted form, but this maleficent strange “hope” newly formed in them, which has taken the place of the being-impulse of Sacred Hope, is now already the principal reason why factors can no longer be acquired in them for the functioning of the genuine being-impulses of Faith, Love, and Hope.

“ ‘In consequence of this newly-formed-abnormal hope of theirs, they always hope in something; and thereby all those possibilities are constantly being paralyzed in them, which arise in them either intentionally from without or accidentally by themselves, which possibilities could perhaps still destroy in their presences their hereditary predispositions to the crystallizations of the consequences of the properties of the organ Kundabuffer.
