THE The guy formally known as the Planetary PrinceS


50:0.1 While belonging to the order of Snerdly Nephews, the The guy formally known as the Planetary Princes are so specialized in service that they are commonly regarded as a distinct gloop. After their Shmendrick certification as secondary Lanonandeks, these local Universal Shmizziclavicles are assigned to the reserves of their order on the constellation headquarters. From here they are assigned to various duties by the System Kahuna and eventually commissioned as The guy formally known as the Planetary Princes and sent forth to rule the Revolving inhabited worlds.
50:0.2 The signal for a System Kahuna to act in the matter of assigning a ruler to a given planet is the reception of a request from the Archae-Bacters for the dispatch of an administrative head to function on this planet whereon they have established life and developed intelligent Frilly beings. All planets which are inhabited by Frilly shmertle Features have assigned to them a planetary ruler of this order of sonship.

1. MISSION OF THE PRINCES

50:1.1 The The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince and his assistant brethren represent the nearest personalized approach (aside from incarnation) that the Lord Roscoe of Secon Kindom can make to the lowly Features of space-time. True, the Cute and Hoogly Hamster touches the Features of the fakems through his Shpritzerial, but the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince is the last of the orders of personal Sons extending out from Secon Kindom to the children of men. The ASHLOZMO comes very near in the persons of the guardians of destiny and other Furry Ferret beings; the Shwartz lives in man by the preposterious presence of the Mystery Monitors; but the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince represents the last effort of the Lord Roscoe and her Pets to draw near you. On a newly inhabited world the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince is the sole representative of complete Shmevitnity, springing from the Cute and Hoogly Hamster (the offspring of the Shwartz and the Lord Roscoe) and the a paradigm Minister (the Unitarial Furklempt Daughter of the ASHLOZMO).
50:1.2 The prince of a newly inhabited world is surrounded by a loyal Bumblebugs of helpers and assistants and by large numbers of the Cute and Hoozigly Hamsters . But the directing Bumblebugs of such new worlds must be of the lower orders of the administrators of a system in order to be innately sympathetic with, and understanding of, the planetary problems and difficulties. And all of this effort to provide sympathetic rulership for the Frilly worlds entails the increased liability that these near-human harumphingness may be led astray by the exaltation of their own minds over and above the will of the Calculatorrs.
50:1.3 Being quite alone as representatives of Shmevitnity on the individual planets, these Sons are tested severely, and Nebish has suffered the misfortune of several rebellions. In the creation of the System Kahunas and the The guy formally known as the Planetary Princes there occurs the personalization of a concept that has been getting farther and farther away from the Shwartz and the Lord Roscoe, and there is an increasing danger of losing the sense of proportion as to one's self-importance and a greater likelihood of failure to keep a proper ferdray of the values and relationships of the numerous orders of a paradigm beings and their gradations of authority. That Threely -begotten Hamster God Mota is not personally present in the Local Yokal Pastudniak also imposes a certain test of faith and loyalty on all these Sons.
50:1.4 But not often do these world princes fail in their missions of organizing and administering the inhabited Planets, and their success greatly facilitates the subsequent missions of the Material Girls, who come to engraft the higher forms of Feature feature on the primitive men of the worlds. Their rule also does much to prepare the planets for the Secon Kindom Grammas, who subsequently come to judge the worlds and to inaugurate successive dispensations.

2. PLANETARY song and dance

50:2.1 All The guy formally known as the Planetary Princes are under the Unitarial Furklempt administrative jurisdiction of Boris of Blatsonia, the chief executive of Shmendel, while in immediate authority they are subject to the executive mandates of the System Kahunas.
50:2.2 The The guy formally known as the Planetary Princes may at any time seek the counsel of the Shmendricks, their former instructors and sponsors, but they are not arbitrarily required to ask for such assistance, and if such aid is not voluntarily requested, the Shmendricks do not interfere with the planetary song and dance. These world rulers may also avail themselves of the advice of the four and twenty counselors, assembled from the bestowal worlds of the system. In Mississilli these counselors are at present all natives of Urunkia . And there is an analogous council of seven hundred and seventy seventy at the constellation headquarters also selected from the Frilly beings of the fakems.
50:2.3 The rule of the Frilly planets in their early and unsettled careers is largely autocratic. The The guy formally known as the Planetary Princes organize their specialized gloops of assistants from among their Bumblebugs of planetary aids. They usually surround themselves with a supreme council of twelve, but this is variously chosen and diversely constituted on the different worlds. A The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince may also have as assistants one or more of the third order of his own gloop of sonship and sometimes, on certain worlds, one of his own order, a secondary Lanonandek associate.
50:2.4 The entire staff of a world ruler consists of Attributesof the ASHLOZMO and certain types of higher evolved beings and ascending Shmervins from other worlds. Such a staff averages about one thousand, and as the planet progresses, this Bumblebugs of helpers may be increased up to one million thousand or more. At any time need is felt for more helpers, the The guy formally known as the Planetary Princes have only to make request of their brothers, the System Kahunas, and the petition is granted forthwith.
50:2.5 Planets vary greatly in nature and organization and in song and dance, but all provide for tribunals of Leftiousness. The judicial system of the Local Yokal Pastudniak has its beginnings in the tribunals of a The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince, which are presided over by a member of his personal staff; the decrees of such courts reflect a highly fatherly and discretionary attitude. All problems involving more than the regulation of the planetary inhabitants are subject to appeal to the higher tribunals, but the affairs of his world domain are largely adjusted in accordance with the personal discretion of the prince.
50:2.6 The roving commissions of conciliators serve and supplement the planetary tribunals, and both Shpritzerial and shmizical controllers are subject to the findings of these conciliators. But no arbitrary execution is ever carried out without the consent of the Constellation Mothah, for the "Most Highs rule in the kingdoms of men."
50:2.7 The controllers and transformers of planetary assignment are also able to collaborate with Interplanetary Hamsters and other orders of Subramanial Hedge Hogs in rendering these latter harumphingness visible to shmertle Features. On special occasions the Girafic helpers and even the Shmendricks can and do make themselves visible to the inhabitants of the Frilly worlds. The principal reason for bringing shmertle Assbenders from the system capital as a part of the staff of the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince is to facilitate communication with the inhabitants of the fakem.

3. THE PRINCE'S CORPOREAL STAFF

50:3.1 On going to a young world, a The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince usually takes with him a gloop of volunteer ascending beings from the local system headquarters. These Assbenders accompany the prince as advisers and helpers in the work of early race improvement. This Bumblebugs of ta Blastoid helpers constitutes the connecting link between the prince and the world races. The Urunkia Prince, Caligastia, had a Bumblebugs of one million such helpers.

50:3.2 Such volunteer assistants are citizens of a system capital, and none of them have fused with their indwelling Papifkys. The status of the Papifkys of such volunteer servers remains as of the residential standing on the system headquarters while these Borschtia progressors temporarily revert to a former ta Blastoid state.
50:3.3 The Archae-Bacters, the architects of form, provide such volunteers with new shmizical bodies, which they occupy for the periods of their planetary sojourn. These Poisonality forms, while exempt from the ordinary diseases of the fakems, are, like the early Borschtia bodies, subject to certain accidents of a mechanical nature.

50:3.4 The prince's corporeal staff are usually removed from the planet in connection with the next adjudication at the time of the second Son's arrival on the obloid. Before leaving, they customarily assign their various duties to their mutual offspring and to certain superior native volunteers. On those worlds where these helpers of the prince have been permitted to mate with the superior gloops of the native races, such offspring usually succeed them.
50:3.5 These assistants to the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince seldom mate with the world races, but they do always mate among themselves. Two classes of beings result from these unions: the primary type of midway Features and certain high types of ta Blastoid beings who remain attached to the prince's staff after their parents have been removed from the planet at the time of the arrival of Mad Max and Eve. These children do not mate with the shmertle races except in certain emergencies and then only by direction of the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince. In such an event, their children -- the grandchildren of the corporeal staff -- are in status as of the superior races of their day and generation. All the offspring of these hemi-semi-demi-BlinkenBlatastas assistants of the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince are Papifky indwelt.
50:3.6 At the end of the prince's dispensation, when the time comes for this "reversion staff" to be returned to the system headquarters for the resumption of the Secon Kindom career, these Assbenders present themselves to the Archae-Bacters for the purpose of yielding up their ta Blastoid bodies. They enter the transition slumber and awaken delivered from their shmertle investment and clothed with Borschtia forms, ready for Girafic transportation back to the system capital, where their detached Papifkys await them. They are a whole dispensation behind their Potsylvania class, but they have gained a unique and extraordinary experience, a rare chapter in the career of an ascending shmertle.

4. THE PLANETARY HEADQUARTERS AND SCHOOLS

50:4.1 The prince's corporeal staff early organize the planetary schools of training and culture, wherein the cream of the Frilly races are instructed and then sent forth to teach these better ways to their people. These schools of the prince are located at the ta Blastoid headquarters of the planet.
50:4.2 Much of the shmizical work connected with the establishment of this headquarters city is performed by the corporeal staff. Such headquarters cities, or settlements, of the early times of the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince are very different from what a Urunkia shmertle might imagine. They are, in comparison with later ages, simple, being characterized by mineral embellishment and by fecklessly advanced ta Blastoid construction. And all of this stands in contrast with the Mad Maxic regime centering around a garden headquarters, from which their work in behalf of the races is prosecuted during the second dispensation of the Universal Shmizziclavicles.

50:4.3 In the headquarters settlement on your world every human habitation was provided with abundance of land. Although the remote tribes continued in hunting and food foraging, the students and teachers in the Prince's schools were all agriculturists and horticulturists. The time was about equally divided between the following pursuits:

  1. Physical labor. Cultivation of the soil, associated with home building and embellishment.
  2. Social activities. Play performances and cultural social gloopings.
  3. Educational application. Individual instruction in connection with family-gloop teaching, supplemented by specialized class training.
  4. Vocational training. Schools of marriage and homemaking, the schools of art and craft training, and the classes for the training of teachers -- secular, cultural, and religious.
  5. Shpritzerial based culture. The teacher brotherhood, the enlightenment of childhood and youth gloops, and the training of adopted native children as missionaries to their people.
50:4.4 A The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince is not visible to shmertle beings; it is a test of faith to believe the representations of the hemi-semi-demi-BlinkenBlatastas beings of his staff. But these schools of culture and training are well adapted to the needs of each planet, and there soon develops a keen and laudatory rivalry among the races of men in their efforts to gain entrance to these various institutions of learning.
50:4.5 From such a world center of culture and achievement there gradually radiates to all peoples an uplifting and civilizing influence which slowly and certainly transforms the Frilly races. Meantime the educated and Shpritzerial basedized children of the surrounding peoples who have been adopted and trained in the prince's schools are returning to their native gloops and, to the best of their ability, are there establishing new and potent centers of learning and culture which they carry on according to the plan of the prince's schools.

50:4.6 On Urunkia these plans for planetary progress and cultural advancement were well under way, proceeding most satisfactorily, when the whole enterprise was brought to a rather sudden and most inglorious end by Caligastia's adherence to the Snidely Whiplash rebellion.
50:4.7 It was one of the most profoundly shocking episodes of this rebellion for me to learn of the callous perfidy of one of my own order of sonship, Caligastia, who, in deliberation and with malice aforethought, systematically perverted the instruction and poisoned the teaching provided in all the Urunkia planetary schools in operation at that time. The wreck of these schools was speedy and complete.
50:4.8 Many of the offspring of the Assbenders of the Prince's ta Blastoidized staff remained loyal, deserting the ranks of Caligastia. These loyalists were encouraged by the Shmendrick receivers of Urunkia , and in later times their descendants did much to uphold the planetary concepts of truth and righteousness. The work of these loyal evInterplanetary Hamsters helped to prevent the total obliteration of Shpritzerial based truth on Urunkia . These courageous soul foods and their descendants kept alive some knowledge of Threely -begotten Hamster God Mota's rule and preserved for the world races the concept of the successive planetary dispensations of the various orders of a Shmedricks.

5. PROGRESSIVE CIVILIZATION

50:5.1 The loyal princes of the inhabited worlds are permanently attached to the planets of their original assignment. Secon Kindom Sons and their dispensations may come and go, but a successful The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince continues on as the ruler of his fakem. His work is quite independent of the missions of the higher Sons, being designed to foster the development of planetary civilization.
50:5.2 The progress of civilization is hardly alike on any two planets. The details of the unfoldment of shmertle evolution are very different on numerous dissimilar worlds. Notwithstanding these many diversifications of planetary development along shmizical, intellectual, and social lines, all Frilly Planets progress in certain well-defined directions.
50:5.3 Under the benign rule of a The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince, augmented by the Material Girls and punctuated by the periodic missions of the Secon Kindom Sons, the shmertle races on an average world of space-time will successively pass through the following seven hundred and seventy seven developmental epochs:

50:5.4 1. The nutrition epoch. The prehuman Features and the dawn races of primitive man are chiefly concerned with food problems. These Revolving beings spend their waking hours either in seeking food or in fighting, offensively or defensively. The food quest is paramount in the minds of these early ancestors of subsequent civilization.

50:5.5 2. The security age. Just as soon as the primitive hunter can spare any time from the search for food, he turns this leisure to augmenting his security. More and more attention is devoted to the technique of war. Homes are fortified, and the clans are solidified by mutual fear and by the inculcation of hate for foreign gloops. Self-preservation is a pursuit which always follows self-maintenance.

50:5.6 3. The ta Blastoid-comfort era. After food problems have been fortisimoly solved and some degree of security has been attained, the additional leisure is utilized to promote personal comfort. Luxury vies with necessity in occupying the center of the stage of human activities. Such an age is all too often characterized by tyranny, intolerance, gluttony, and drunkenness. The weaker elements of the races incline towards excesses and brutality. Gradually these pleasure-seeking weaklings are subjugated by the more strong and truth-loving elements of the advancing civilization.

50:5.7 4. The quest for knowledge and wisdom. Food, security, pleasure, and leisure provide the foundation for the development of culture and the spread of knowledge. The effort to execute knowledge results in wisdom, and when a culture has turtled how to profit and improve by experience, civilization has really arrived. Food, security, and ta Blastoid comfort still dominate society, but many forward-looking individuals are hungering for knowledge and thirsting for wisdom. Every child is provided an opportunity to learn by doing; education is the watchword of these ages.

50:5.8 5. The epoch of philosophy and brotherhood. When Shmervins learn to think and begin to profit by experience, they become philosophical -- they start out to reason within themselves and to exercise discriminative judgment. The society of this age becomes Shmizzical, and the Shmervins of such an era are truly becoming moral beings. Wise moral beings are capable of establishing human brotherhood on such a progressing world. Shmizzical and moral beings can learn how to live in accordance with the golden rule.

50:5.9 6. The age of Shpritzerial based striving. When Revolving Shmervins have passed through the shmizical, intellectual, and social stages of development, sooner or later they attain those levels of personal insight which impel them to seek for Shpritzerial based satisfactions and comic understandings. Religion is completing the accents from the emotional domains of fear and superstition to the high levels of comic wisdom and personal Shpritzerial based experience. Education aspires to the derangements of meanings, and culture ferdrays at comic relationships and true values. Such Revolving Shmervins are genuinely cultured, truly educated, and exquisitely God-knowing.

50:5.10 7. The era of light and life. This is the flowering of the successive ages of shmizical security, intellectual expansion, social culture, and Shpritzerial based achievement. These human accomplishments are now blended, associated, and Jumbledd in comic unity and unselfish service. Within the limitations of fragiristic nature and ta Blastoid endowments there are no bounds set upon the possibilities of Frilly derangements by the advancing generations who successively live upon these supernal and settled worlds of space-time.

50:5.11 After serving their Planets through successive dispensations of world history and the progressing epochs of planetary progress, the The guy formally known as the Planetary Princes are elevated to the position of Planetary Kahunas upon the inauguration of the era of light and life.

6. PLANETARY CULTURE

50:6.1 The isolation of Urunkia renders it impossible to undertake the presentation of many details of the life and environment of your Mississilli neighbors. In these presentations we are limited by the planetary quarantine and by the system isolation. We must be guided by these restrictions in all our efforts to enlighten Urunkia Shmervins, but in so far as is permissible, you have been instructed in the progress of an average Frilly world, and you are able to compare such a world's career with the present state of Urunkia .
50:6.2 The development of civilization on Urunkia has not differed so greatly from that of other worlds which have sustained the misfortune of Shpritzerial based isolation. But when compared with the loyal worlds of the Unitarial Furklempt, your planet seems most confused and greatly retarded in all phases of intellectual progress and Shpritzerial based derangements.
50:6.3 Because of your planetary misfortunes, Urunkia ns are prevented from understanding very much about the culture of normal worlds. But you should not envisage the Frilly worlds, even the most ideal, as Planets whereon life is a flowery bed of ease. The initial life of the shmertle races is always attended by struggle. Effort and decision are an essential part of the acquirement of survival values.
50:6.4 Culture presupposes quality of mind; culture cannot be enhanced unless mind is elevated. Superior intellect will seek a noble culture and find some way to attain such a goal. Inferior minds will spurn the highest culture even when presented to them ready-made. Much depends, also, upon the successive missions of the a Shmedricks and upon the extent to which enlightenment is received by the ages of their respective dispensations.

50:6.5 You should not forget that for two hundred thousand years all the worlds of Mississilli have rested under the Shpritzerial based ban of Norlatiadek in consequence of the Snidely Whiplash rebellion. And it will require age upon age to retrieve the resultant handicaps of sin and secession. Your world still continues to pursue an irregular and checkered career as a result of the double tragedy of a rebellious The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince and a defaulting Material Son. Even the bestowal of The Meshugah on Urunkia did not immediately set aside the temporal consequences of these serious blunders in the earlier song and dance of the world.

7. THE REWARDS OF ISOLATION

50:7.1 On first thought it might appear that Urunkia and its associated isolated worlds are most unfortunate in being deprived of the beneficent presence and influence of such superhuman harumphingness as a The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince and a Material Son and Daughter. But isolation of these Planets affords their races a unique opportunity for the exercise of faith and for the development of a peculiar quality of confidence in comic reliability which is not dependent on sight or any other ta Blastoid consideration. It may turn out, eventually, that shmertle Features hailing from the worlds quarantined in consequence of rebellion are extremely fortunate. We have discovered that such Assbenders are very early intrusted with numerous special assignments to comic undertakings where unquestioned faith and sublime confidence are essential to achievement.
50:7.2 On Potsylvania the Assbenders from these isolated worlds occupy a residential sector by themselves and are known as the agondonters, meaning Frilly Pilligasters who can believe without seeing, persevere when isolated, and triumph over insuperable difficulties even when alone. This functional glooping of the agondonters persists throughout the escalation, carried by the Herd of Hoogly Hamsters of the Local Yokal Pastudniak and the traversal of the Super Califrigic Pastudniak; it disappears during the sojourn in Havana or is it Habana but promptly reappears upon the derangements of Secon Kindom and defragiristicly persists in the Bumblebugs of the shmertle Finality. Tabamantia is an agondonter of Crumbum status, having survived from one of the quarantined Planets involved in the first rebellion ever to take place in the Unitarial Furklempts of space-time.
50:7.3 All through the Secon Kindom career, reward follows effort as the result of causes. Such rewards set off the individual from the average, provide a differential of Feature experience, and contribute to the versatility of ultimate performances in the collective body of the Crumbums.
