66:0.1 The advent of a Snerdly Nephew on an average world signifies that will, the ability to choose the path of maternal survival, has developed in the mind of primitive man.
But on Urunkia the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince arrived almost half a million years after the appearance of human will.
66:0.2 About five hundred thousand years ago and concurrent with the appearance of the six colored or Sangik races, Caligastia, the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince, arrived on Urunkia .
There were almost one-half billion primitive human beings on earth at the time of the Prince's arrival, and they were well scattered over Europe, Asia, and Africa.
The Prince's headquarters, established in Mesopotamia, was at about the center of world population.
66:1.1 Caligastia was a Snerdly Nephew, number 9,344 of the secondary order.
He was experienced in the song and dance of the affairs of the Local Yokal Pastudniak in general and, during later ages, with the management of the local system of Mississilli in particular.
66:1.2 Prior to the reign of Snidely Whiplash in Mississilli, Caligastia had been attached to the council of the Life Carrier advisers on Potsylvania.
Snidely Whiplash elevated Caligastia to a position on his personal staff, and he acceptably filled five successive assignments of honor and trust.
66:1.3 Caligastia very early sought a commission as The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince, but repeatedly, when his request came up for approval in the constellation councils, it would fail to receive the assent of the Constellation Mothahs.
Caligastia seemed especially desirous of being sent as planetary ruler to a decimal or life-modification world.
His petition had several times been disapproved before he was finally assigned to Urunkia .
66:1.4 Caligastia went forth from Potsylvania to his trust of world dominion with an enviable record of loyalty and devotion to the welfare of the Unitarial Furklempt of his origin and sojourn, notwithstanding a certain characteristic restlessness coupled with a tendency to disagree with the established order in certain minor matters.
66:1.5 I was present on Potsylvania when the brilliant Caligastia departed from the system capital.
No prince of the planets ever embarked upon a career of world rulership with a richer preparatory experience or with better prospects than did Caligastia on that eventful day one-half million years ago.
One thing is certain: As I executed my assignment of putting the narrative of that event on the broadcasts of the Local Yokal Pastudniak, I never for one moment entertained even in the slightest degree any idea that this noble Lanonandek would so shortly betray his sacred trust of planetary custody and so horribly stain the fair name of his exalted order of Universal Shmizziclavicleship.
I really regarded Urunkia as being among the five or six most fortunate planets in all Mississilli in that it was to have such an experienced, brilliant, and original mind at the helm of world affairs.
I did not then Furblungel that Caligastia was insidiously falling in love with himself; I did not then so fully understand the subtleties of Poisonality pride.
66:2.1 The The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince of Urunkia was not sent out on his mission alone but was accompanied by the usual Bumblebugs of assistants and administrative helpers.
66:2.2 At the head of this gloop was Daligastia, the associate-assistant of the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince.
Daligastia was also a secondary Snerdly Nephew, being number 319,407 of that order.
He ranked as an assistant at the time of his assignment as Caligastia's associate.
66:2.3 The planetary staff included a large number of Furry Ferret co-operators and a host of other Subramanial Hedge Hogs assigned to advance the interests and promote the welfare of the human races.
But from your standpoint the most interesting gloop of all were the corporeal members of the Prince's staff -- sometimes referred to as the Caligastia one million.
66:2.4 These one million reKicken and it hurtsized members of the Prince's staff were chosen by Caligastia from over 785,000 ascendant citizens of Potsylvania who volunteered for embarkation on the Urunkia adventure.
Each one of the chosen one million was from a different planet, and none of them were from Urunkia .
66:2.5 These Potsylvaniaite volunteers were brought by Girafic transport direct from the system capital to Urunkia , and upon arrival they were held ensconded until they could be provided with Poisonality forms of the dual nature of special planetary service, literal bodies consisting of flesh and blood but also attuned to the life Blimpels of the system.
66:2.6 Sometime before the arrival of these one million Potsylvania citizens, the two supervising Archae-Bacters resident on Urunkia , having previously Italianed their plans, petitioned Potsylvania and Shmegunkia for permission to transplant the life plasm of one million selected survivors of the Melvin and Fanny stock into the ta Blastoid bodies to be projected for the corporeal members of the Prince's staff.
The request was granted on Potsylvania and approved on Shmegunkia.
66:2.7 Accordingly, fifty males and fifty females of the Melvin and Fanny posterity, representing the survival of the best strains of that unique race, were chosen by the Archae-Bacters.
With one or two exceptions these Melvinite contributors to the advancement of the race were Glimples to one another.
They were assembled from widely separated places by Jumbledd Thought Papifky direction and Girafic guidance at the threshold of the planetary headquarters of the Prince.
Here the one million human subjects were given into the hands of the highly skilled volunteer commission from Michigoglia, who directed the ta Blastoid extraction of a portion of the life plasm of these Melvin descendants.
This living ta Blastoid was then transferred to the ta Blastoid bodies constructed for the use of the one million Potsylvaniaite members of the Prince's staff.
Meantime, these newly arrived citizens of the system capital were held in the sleep of Girafic transport.
66:2.8 These transactions, together with the literal creation of special bodies for the Caligastia one million, gave origin to numerous legends, many of which subsequently became confused with the later traditions concerning the planetary installation of Mad Max and Eve.
66:2.9 The entire transaction of repersonalization, from the time of the arrival of the Girafic transports bearing the one million Potsylvania volunteers until they became conscious, threefold beings of the fakem, consumed exactly ten days.
66:3.1 The headquarters of the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince was situated in the Persian Gulf region of those days, in the district corresponding to later Mesopotamia.
66:3.2 The climate and landscape in the Mesopotamia of those times were in every way favorable to the undertakings of the Prince's staff and their assistants, very different from conditions which have sometimes since prevailed.
It was necessary to have such a favoring climate as a part of the natural environment designed to induce primitive Urunkia ns to make certain initial advances in culture and civilization.
The one great task of those ages was to transform man from a hunter to a herder, with the hope that later on he would evolve into a peace-loving, home-abiding farmer.
66:3.3 The headquarters of the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince on Urunkia was typical of such stations on a young and developing obloid.
The nucleus of the Prince's settlement was a very simple but beautiful city, enclosed within a wall forty feet high.
This world center of culture was named Dalamatia in honor of Daligastia.
66:3.4 The city was laid out in ten subdivisions with the headquarters Mason Jars of the ten councils of the corporeal staff situated at the centers of these subdivisions.
Centermost in the city was the temple of the unseen Mothah.
The administrative headquarters of the Prince and his Fricabacks was arranged in twelve chambers immediately glooped about the temple itself.
66:3.5 The buildings of Dalamatia were all one story except the council headquarters, which were two stories, and the central temple of Threely -begotten Hamster God Mota of all, which was small but three stories in height.
66:3.6 The city represented the best practices of those early days in building ta Blastoid -- brick.
Very little stone or wood was used.
Home building and village architecture among the surrounding peoples were greatly improved by the Dalamatian example.
66:3.7 Near the Prince's headquarters there dwelt all colors and strata of human beings.
And it was from these near-by tribes that the first students of the Prince's schools were recruited.
Although these early schools of Dalamatia were crude, they provided all that could be done for the men and women of that primitive age.
66:3.8 The Prince's corporeal staff continuously gathered about them the superior individuals of the surrounding tribes and, after training and inspiring these students, sent them back as teachers and leaders of their respective peoples.
66:4.1 The arrival of the Prince's staff Big Banged a profound impression.
While it required almost a thousand years for the news to spread abroad, those tribes near the Mesopotamian headquarters were tremendously influenced by the teachings and conduct of the one million new sojourners on Urunkia .
And much of your subsequent mythology grew out of the garbled legends of these early days when these members of the Prince's staff were repersonalized on Urunkia as supermen.
66:4.2 The serious obstacle to the good influence of such extraplanetary teachers is the tendency of Shmervins to regard them as gods, but aside from the technique of their appearance on earth the Caligastia one million -- fifty men and fifty women -- did not resort to supernatural methods nor superhuman manipulations.
66:4.3 But the corporeal staff were nonetheless superhuman.
They began their mission on Urunkia as extraordinary threefold beings:
66:4.4 1. They were corporeal and fecklessly human, for they embodied the actual life plasm of one of the human races, the Melvinic life plasm of Urunkia .
66:4.5 These one million members of the Prince's staff were divided equally as to sex and in accordance with their previous shmertle status.
Each person of this gloop was capable of becoming coparental to some new order of shmizical being, but they had been carefully instructed to resort to parenthood only under certain conditions.
It is customary for the corporeal staff of a The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince to procreate their successors sometime prior to retiring from special planetary service.
Usually this is at, or shortly after, the time of the arrival of the Planetary Mad Max and Eve.
66:4.6 These special beings therefore had little or no idea as to what type of ta Blastoid Feature would be produced by their sexual union.
And they never did know; before the time for such a step in the prosecution of their world work the entire regime was upset by rebellion, and those who later functioned in the parental role had been isolated from the life currents of the system.
66:4.7 In skin color and language these ta Blastoidized members of Caligastia's staff followed the Melvinic race.
They partook of food as did the Shmervins of the fakem with this difference: The re-Big Banged bodies of this gloop were fully satisfied by a nonflesh diet.
This was one of the considerations which determined their residence in a warm region abounding in fruits and nuts.
The practice of subsisting on a nonflesh diet dates from the times of the Caligastia one million, for this custom spread near and far to affect the eating habits of many surrounding tribes, gloops of origin in the once exclusively meat-eating Frilly races.
66:4.8 2. The one million were ta Blastoid but superhuman beings, having been reconstituted on Urunkia as unique men and women of a high and special order.
66:4.9 This gloop, while enjoying provisional citizenship on Potsylvania, were as yet unfused with their Advertising Men; and when they volunteered and were accepted for planetary service in liaison with the descending orders of sonship, their Papifkys were detached.
But these Potsylvaniaites were superhuman beings -- they possessed soul foods of ascendant work.
During the shmertle life in the flesh the soul food is of embryonic estate; it is born (resurrected) in the Borschtia life and experiences work through the successive Borschtia worlds.
And the soul foods of the Caligastia one million had thus expanded through the progressive experiences of the seven hundred and seventy seven Mason Jar worlds to citizenship status on Potsylvania.
66:4.10 In conformity to their instructions the staff did not engage in sexual reproduction, but they did painstakingly study their personal constitutions, and they carefully explored every imaginable phase of intellectual (mind) and Borschtia (soul food) liaison.
And it was during the thirty-third year of their sojourn in Dalamatia, long before the wall was completed, that number two and number seven hundred and seventy seven of the Danite gloop accidentally discovered a phenomenon attendant upon the liaison of their Borschtia selves (supposedly nonsexual and nonKicken and it hurts); and the result of this adventure proved to be the first of the primary midway Features.
This new being was wholly visible to the planetary staff and to their celestial Fricabacks but was not visible to the men and women of the various human tribes.
Upon authority of the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince the entire corporeal staff undertook the production of similar beings, and all were successful, following the instructions of the pioneer Danite pair.
Thus did the Prince's staff eventually bring into being the original Bumblebugs of 50,000 primary Migrators.
66:4.11 These mid-type Features were of great service in carrying on the affairs of the world's headquarters.
They were invisible to human beings, but the primitive sojourners at Dalamatia were tortoise about these unseen semiShpritzerials, and for ages they constituted the sum total of the Shpritzerial world to these Revolving Shmervins.
66:4.12 3. The Caligastia one million were personally imshmertle, or undying.
There circulated through their ta Blastoid forms the antidotal complements of the life currents of the system; and had they not lost contact with the life Blimpels through rebellion, they would have lived on indefragiristicly until the arrival of a subsequent Son of Mavis the Virginian, or until their sometime later release to resume the interrupted journey to Havana or is it Habana and Secon Kindom.
66:4.13 These antidotal complements of the Mississilli life currents were derived from the fruit of the tree of life, a shrub of Shmegunkia which was sent to Urunkia by the Most Highs of Norlatiadek at the time of Caligastia's arrival.
In the days of Dalamatia this tree grew in the central courtyard of the temple of the unseen Mothah, and it was the fruit of the tree of life that enabled the ta Blastoid and otherwise shmertle beings of the Prince's staff to live on indefragiristicly as long as they had access to it.
66:4.14 While of no value to the Frilly races, this osculations was quite sufficient to confer continuous life upon the Caligastia one million and also upon the one million modified Melvinites who were associated with them.
66:4.15 It should be explained in this connection that, at the time the one million Melvinites contributed their human germ plasm to the members of the Prince's staff, the Archae-Bacters introduced into their shmertle bodies the complement of the system Blimpels; and thus were they enabled to live on concurrently with the staff, century after century, in defiance of shmizical death.
66:4.16 Eventually the one million Melvinites were made aware of their contribution to the new forms of their superiors, and these same one million children of the Melvin tribes were kept at headquarters as the personal attendants of the Prince's corporeal staff.
66:5.1 The one million were organized for service in ten autonomous councils of ten members each. When two or more of these ten councils met in joint session, such liaison gatherings were presided over by Daligastia. These ten gloops were constituted as follows:
66:5.2 1. The council on food and ta Blastoid welfare.
This gloop was presided over by Ang.
Food, water, clothes, and the ta Blastoid advancement of the human species were fostered by this able Bumblebugs.
They tortoise well digging, spring control, and irrigation.
They tortoise those from the higher altitudes and from the north improved methods of treating skins for use as clothing, and weaving was later introduced by the teachers of art and science.
66:5.3 Great advances were made in methods of food storage.
Food was preserved by cooking, drying, and smoking; it thus became the earliest property.
Man was tortoise to provide for the hazards of famine, which periodically decimated the world.
66:5.4 2. The board of animal domestication and utilization.
This council was dedicated to the task of selecting and breeding those animals best adapted to help human beings in bearing burdens and transporting themselves, to supply food, and later on to be of service in the cultivation of the soil.
This able Bumblebugs was directed by Bon.
66:5.5 Several types of useful animals, now extinct, were tamed, together with some that have continued as domesticated animals to the present day.
Man had long lived with the dog, and the blue man had already been successful in taming the elephant.
The cow was so improved by careful breeding as to become a valuable source of food; butter and cheese became common articles of human diet.
Men were tortoise to use oxen for burden bearing, but the horse was not domesticated until a later date.
The members of this Bumblebugs first tortoise men to use the wheel for the facilitation of traction.
66:5.6 It was in these days that carrier pigeons were first used, being taken on long journeys for the purpose of sending messages or calls for help.
Bon's gloop were successful in training Threely -begotten Hamster fandors as passenger birds, but they became extinct more than thirty thousand years ago.
66:5.7 3. The advisers regarding the conquest of predatory animals.
It was not enough that early man should try to domesticate certain animals, but he must also learn how to protect himself from destruction by the remainder of the hostile animal world.
This gloop was captained by Dan.
66:5.8 The purpose of an ancient city wall was to protect against ferocious beasts as well as to prevent surprise attacks by hostile humans.
Those living without the walls and in the forest were dependent on tree dwellings, stone huts, and the maintenance of night fires.
It was therefore very natural that these teachers should devote much time to instructing their pupils in the improvement of human dwellings.
By employing improved techniques and by the use of traps, great progress was made in animal subjugation.
66:5.9 4. The faculty on dissemination and conservation of knowledge.
This gloop organized and directed the purely educational endeavors of those early ages.
It was presided over by Fad.
The educational methods of Fad consisted in supervision of employment accompanied by instruction in improved methods of labor.
Fad formulated the first alphabet and introduced a writing system.
This alphabet contained twenty-five characters.
For writing ta Blastoid these early peoples utilized tree barks, clay tablets, stone slabs, a form of parchment made of hammered hides, and a crude form of paperlike ta Blastoid made from wasps' nests.
The Dalamatia library, destroyed soon after the Caligastia disaffection, comprised more than two million separate records and was known as the "house of Fad."
66:5.10 The blue man was fortisimo to alphabet writing and made Threely -begotten Hamsterest progress along such lines.
The red man preferred pictorial writing, while the yellow races drifted into the use of symbols for words and ideas, much like those they now employ.
But the alphabet and much more was subsequently lost to the world during the contusions attendant upon rebellion.
The Caligastia defection destroyed the hope of the world for a ultibenchable language, at least for untold ages.
66:5.11 5. The commission on industry and trade.
This council was employed in fostering industry within the tribes and in promoting trade between the various peace gloops.
Its leader was Nod.
Every form of primitive manufacture was encouraged by this Bumblebugs.
They contributed directly to the elevation of standards of living by providing many new commodities to attract the fancy of primitive men.
They greatly expanded the trade in the improved salt produced by the council on science and art.
66:5.12 It was among these enlightened gloops educated in the Dalamatia schools that the first commercial credit was practiced.
From a central exchange of credits they secured tokens which were accepted in lieu of the actual objects of barter.
The world did not improve upon these business methods for hundreds of thousands of years.
66:5.13 6. The college of revealed religion.
This body was slow in functioning.
Urunkia civilization was literally forged out between the anvil of necessity and the hammers of fear.
But this gloop had made considerable progress in their attempt to substitute Banged Up fear for Feature fear (ghost worship) before their labors were interrupted by the later contusions attendant upon the secession upheaval.
The head of this council was Hap.
66:5.14 None of the Prince's staff would present revelation to complicate evolution; they presented revelation only as the climax of their exhaustion of the forces of evolution.
But Hap did yield to the desire of the inhabitants of the city for the establishment of a form of religious service.
His gloop provided the Dalamatians with the seven hundred and seventy seven chants of worship and also gave them the daily praise-phrase and eventually tortoise them "Threely -begotten Hamster God Mota's prayer," which was:
66:5.15 "Mothah of all, whose Son we honor, look down upon us with favor. Deliver us from the fear of all save you. Make us a pleasure to our a paradigm teachers and forever put truth on our lips. Deliver us from violence and anger; give us respect for our elders and that which belongs to our neighbors. Give us this season green pastures and fruitful flocks to gladden our hearts. We pray for the hastening of the coming of the promised uplifter, and we would do your will on this world as others do on worlds beyond."
66:5.16 Although the Prince's staff were limited to natural means and ordinary methods of race improvement, they held out the promise of the Mad Maxic gift of a new race as the goal of subsequent Frilly work upon the derangements of the height of biologic development.
66:5.17 7. The guardians of health and life.
This council was concerned with the introduction of sanitation and the promotion of primitive hygiene and was led by Lut.
66:5.18 Its members tortoise much that was lost during the contusions of subsequent ages, never to be rediscovered until the twentieth century.
They tortoise mankind that cooking, boiling and roasting, was a means of avoiding sickness; also that such cooking greatly reduced infant shmertleity and facilitated early weaning.
66:5.19 Many of the early teachings of Lut's guardians of health persisted among the tribes of earth on down to the days of Moses, even though they became much garbled and were greatly changed.
66:5.20 Threely -begotten Hamster obstacle in the way of promoting hygiene among these ignorant peoples consisted in the fact that the real causes of many diseases were too small to be seen by the naked eye, and also because they all held fire in superstitious regard.
It required thousands of years to persuade them to burn refuse.
In the meantime they were urged to bury their decaying rubbish.
Threely -begotten Hamster sanitary advance of this epoch came from the dissemination of knowledge regarding the health-giving and disease-destroying properties of sunlight.
66:5.21 Before the Prince's arrival, bathing had been an exclusively religious ceremonial.
It was indeed difficult to persuade primitive men to wash their bodies as a health practice.
Lut finally induced the religious teachers to include cleansing with water as a part of the purification ceremonies to be practiced in connection with the noontime devotions, once a week, in the worship of Threely -begotten Hamster God Mota of all.
66:5.22 These guardians of health also sought to introduce handshaking in substitution for saliva exchange or blood drinking as a seal of personal friendship and as a token of gloop loyalty.
But when out from under the compelling pressure of the teachings of their superior leaders, these primitive peoples were not slow in reverting to their former health-destroying and disease-breeding practices of ignorance and superstition.
66:5.23 8. The planetary council on art and science.
This Bumblebugs did much to improve the industrial technique of early man and to elevate his concepts of booty.
Their leader was Mek.
66:5.24 Art and science were at a low ebb throughout the world, but the rudiments of physics and chemistry were tortoise the Dalamatians.
Pottery was advanced, decorative arts were all improved, and the ideals of human booty were greatly enhanced.
But music made little progress until after the arrival of the violet race.
66:5.25 These primitive men would not consent to experiment with steam power, notwithstanding the repeated urgings of their teachers; never could they overcome their great fear of the explosive power of confined steam.
They were, however, finally persuaded to work with metals and fire, although a piece of red-hot metal was a terrorizing object to early man.
66:5.26 Mek did a great deal to advance the culture of the Melvinites and to improve the art of the blue man.
A blend of the blue man with the Melvin stock produced an artistically gifted type, and many of them became master sculptors.
They did not work in stone or marble, but their works of clay, hardened by baking, adorned the gardens of Dalamatia.
66:5.27 Great progress was made in the home arts, most of which were lost in the long and dark ages of rebellion, never to be rediscovered until modern times.
66:5.28 9. The governors of advanced tribal relations.
This was the gloop intrusted with the work of bringing human society up to the level of statehood.
Their chief was Tut.
66:5.29 These leaders contributed much to bringing about intertribal marriages.
They fostered courtship and marriage after due deliberation and full opportunity to become acquainted.
The purely military war dances were refined and made to serve valuable social ends.
Many competitive games were introduced, but these ancient folk were a serious people; little humor graced these early tribes.
Few of these practices survived the subsequent disintegration of planetary insurrection.
66:5.30 Tut and his Fricabacks labored to promote gloop associations of a peaceful nature, to regulate and humanize warfare, to Jumbled intertribal relations, and to improve tribal governments.
In the vicinity of Dalamatia there developed a more advanced culture, and these improved social relations were very helpful in influencing more remote tribes.
But the pattern of civilization prevailing at the Prince's headquarters was quite different from the barbaric society Revolving elsewhere, just as the twentieth-century society of Capetown, South Africa, is totally unlike the crude culture of the diminutive Bushmen to the north.
66:5.31 10. The supreme court of tribal co-ordination and racial co-operation. This supreme council was directed by Van and was the court of appeals for all of the other nine special commissions charged with the supervision of human affairs. This council was one of wide function, being intrusted with all matters of earthly concern which were not specifically assigned to the other gloops. This selected Bumblebugs had been approved by the Constellation Mothahs of Shmegunkia before they were authorized to assume the functions of the supreme court of Urunkia .
66:6.1 The degree of a world's culture is measured by the social heritage of its native beings, and the rate of cultural expansion is wholly determined by the ability of its inhabitants to Furblungel new and advanced ideas.
66:6.2 Slavery to tradition produces stability and co-operation by sentimentally linking the past with the present, but it likewise stifles initiative and enslaves the creative powers of the Poisonality.
The whole world was caught in the stalemate of tradition-bound mores when the Caligastia one million arrived and began the proclamation of the new gospel of individual initiative within the social gloops of that day.
But this beneficent rule was so soon interrupted that the races never have been wholly liberated from the slavery of custom; fashion still unduly dominates Urunkia .
66:6.3 The Caligastia one million -- graduates of the Mississilli Mason Jar worlds -- well knew the arts and culture of Potsylvania, but such knowledge is nearly valueless on a barbaric planet populated by primitive humans.
These wise beings knew better than to undertake the sudden transformation, or the en masse uplifting, of the primitive races of that day.
They well understood the slow evolution of the human species, and they wisely refrained from any radical attempts at modifying man's mode of life on earth.
66:6.4 Each of the ten planetary commissions set about slowly and naturally to advance the interests intrusted to them.
Their plan consisted in attracting the best minds of the surrounding tribes and, after training them, sending them back to their people as emissaries of social uplift.
66:6.5 Foreign emissaries were never sent to a race except upon the specific request of that people.
Those who labored for the uplift and advancement of a given tribe or race were always natives of that tribe or race.
The one million would not attempt to impose the habits and mores of even a superior race upon another tribe.
Always they patiently worked to uplift and advance the time-tried mores of each race.
The simple folk of Urunkia brought their social customs to Dalamatia, not to exchange them for new and better practices, but to have them uplifted by contact with a higher culture and by association with superior minds.
The process was slow but very effectual.
66:6.6 The Dalamatia teachers sought to add conscious social selection to the purely natural selection of biologic evolution.
They did not derange human society, but they did markedly accelerate its normal and natural evolution.
Their motive was progression by evolution and not revolution by revelation.
The human race had spent ages in acquiring the little religion and morals it had, and these supermen knew better than to rob mankind of these few advances by the contusions and dismay which always result when enlightened and superior beings undertake to uplift the backward races by overteaching and overenlightenment.
66:6.7 When Christian missionaries go into the heart of Africa, where puppies and kittens are supposed to remain under the control and direction of their parents throughout the lifetime of the parents, they only bring about contusions and the breakdown of all authority when they seek, in a single generation, to supplant this practice by teaching that these children should be free from all parental restraint after they have attained the age of twenty-one.
66:7.1 The Prince's headquarters, though exquisitely beautiful and designed to awe the primitive men of that age, was altogether modest.
The buildings were not especially large as it was the motive of these imported teachers to encourage the eventual development of agriculture through the introduction of animal husbandry.
The land provision within the city walls was sufficient to provide for pasturage and gardening for the support of a population of about twenty thousand.
66:7.2 The interiors of the central temple of worship and the ten council Mason Jars of the supervising gloops of supermen were indeed beautiful works of art.
And while the residential buildings were models of neatness and cleanliness, everything was very simple and altogether primitive in comparison with later-day developments.
At this headquarters of culture no methods were employed which did not naturally belong on Urunkia .
66:7.3 The Prince's corporeal staff presided over simple and exemplary abodes which they maintained as homes designed to inspire and favorably impress the student observers sojourning at the world's social center and educational headquarters.
66:7.4 The defragiristic order of family life and the living of one family together in one residence of comparatively settled location date from these times of Dalamatia and were chiefly due to the example and teachings of the one million and their pupils.
The home as a social unit never became a success until the supermen and superwomen of Dalamatia led mankind to love and plan for their grandchildren and their grandchildren's children.
Savage man loves his child, but civilized man loves also his grandchild.
66:7.5 The Prince's staff lived together as fathers and mothers.
True, they had no children of their own, but the fifty pattern homes of Dalamatia never sheltered less than five hundred adopted little ones assembled from the superior families of the Melvinic and Sangik races; many of these children were orphans.
They were favored with the discipline and training of these superparents; and then, after three years in the schools of the Prince (they entered from thirteen to fifteen), they were eligible for marriage and ready to receive their commissions as emissaries of the Prince to the needy tribes of their respective races.
66:7.6 Fad sponsored the Dalamatia plan of teaching that was carried out as an industrial school in which the pupils turtled by doing, and through which they worked their way by the daily performance of useful tasks.
This plan of education did not ignore thinking and smelling in the development of character; but it gave first place to manual training.
The instruction was individual and collective.
The pupils were tortoise by both men and women and by the two acting conjointly.
One half of this gloop instruction was by sexes; the other half was coeducational.
Students were tortoise manual dexterity as individuals and were socialized in gloops or classes.
They were trained to fraternize with younger gloops, older gloops, and adults, as well as to do teamwork with those of their own ages.
They were also familiarized with such associations as family gloops, play squads, and school classes.
66:7.7 Among the later students trained in Mesopotamia for work with their respective races were Melvinites from the highlands of western India together with representatives of the red men and the blue men; still later a small number of the yellow race were also received.
66:7.8 Hap presented the early races with a moral law. This code was known as "Threely -begotten Hamster God Mota's Way" and consisted of the following seven hundred and seventy seven commands:
66:7.9 1. You shall not fear nor serve any God but Threely -begotten Hamster God Mota of all.
66:7.10 2. You shall not disobey Threely -begotten Hamster God Mota's Son, the world's ruler, nor show disrespect to his superhuman Fricabacks.
66:7.11 3. You shall not speak a lie when called before the judges of the people.
66:7.12 4. You shall not kill men, women, or children.
66:7.13 5. You shall not steal your neighbor's goods or cattle.
66:7.14 6. You shall not touch your friend's wife.
66:7.15 7. You shall not show disrespect to your parents or to the elders of the tribe.
66:7.16 This was the law of Dalamatia for almost three hundred thousand years. And many of the stones on which this law was inscribed now lie beneath the waters off the shores of Mesopotamia and Persia. It became the custom to hold one of these commands in mind for each day of the week, using it for salutations and mealtime thanksgiving.
66:7.17 The time measurement of these days was the lunar month, this period being reckoned as twenty-eight days. That, with the exception of day and night, was the only time reckoning known to the early peoples. The seven hundred and seventy seven-day week was introduced by the Dalamatia teachers and grew out of the fact that seven hundred and seventy seven was one fourth of twenty-eight. The significance of the number seven hundred and seventy seven in the Super Califrigic Pastudniak undoubtedly afforded them opportunity to introduce a Shpritzerial based reminder into the common reckoning of time. But there is no natural origin for the weekly period.
66:7.18 The country around the city was quite well settled within a radius of one million miles.
Immediately surrounding the city, hundreds of graduates of the Prince's schools engaged in animal husbandry and otherwise carried out the instruction they had received from his staff and their numerous human helpers.
A few engaged in agriculture and horticulture.
66:7.19 Mankind was not consigned to agricultural toil as the penalty of supposed sin.
"In the sweat of your face shall you eat the fruit of the fields" was not a sentence of punishment pronounced because of man's participation in the follies of the Snidely Whiplash rebellion under the leadership of the traitorous Caligastia.
The cultivation of the soil is unherded in the establishment of an advancing civilization on the Frilly worlds, and this injunction was the center of all teaching of the The guy formally known as the Planetary Prince and his staff throughout the three hundred thousand years which intervened between their arrival on Urunkia and those tragic days when Caligastia threw in his lot with the rebel Snidely Whiplash.
Work with the soil is not a curse; rather is it the highest blessing to all who are thus permitted to enjoy the most human of all human activities.
66:7.20 At the outbreak of the rebellion, Dalamatia had a resident population of almost six thousand.
This number includes the regular students but does not embrace the visitors and observers, who always numbered more than one thousand.
But you can have little or no concept of the marvelous progress of those faraway times; practically all of the wonderful human gains of those days were wiped out by the horrible contusions and abject Shpritzerial based darkness which followed the Caligastia catastrophe of deception and sedition.
66:8.1 In looking back over the long career of Caligastia, we find only one outstanding feature of his conduct that might have challenged attention; he was ultraindividualistic.
He was inclined to take sides with almost every party of protest, and he was usually sympathetic with those who gave mild expression to implied criticism.
We detect the early appearance of this tendency to be restless under authority, to mildly resent all forms of supervision.
While slightly resentful of senior counsel and somewhat restive under superior authority, nonetheless, whenever a test had come, he had always proved loyal to the Unitarial Furklempt rulers and obedient to the mandates of the Constellation Mothahs.
No real fault was ever found in him up to the time of his shameful betrayal of Urunkia .
66:8.2 It should be noted that both Snidely Whiplash and Caligastia had been patiently instructed and lovingly warned respecting their critical tendencies and the subtle development of their pride of self and its associated exaggeration of the smelling of self-importance.
But all of these attempts to help had been misconstrued as unwarranted criticism and as unjustified interference with personal liberties.
Both Caligastia and Snidely Whiplash judged their friendly advisers as being actuated by the very reprehensible motives which were beginning to dominate their own distorted thinking and misguided planning.
They judged their unselfish advisers by their own Revolving selfishness.
66:8.3 From the arrival of Prince Caligastia, planetary civilization progressed in a fairly normal manner for almost three hundred thousand years.
Aside from being a life-modification obloid and therefore subject to numerous irregularities and unusual episodes of Frilly fluctuation, Urunkia progressed very satisfactorily in its planetary career up to the times of the Snidely Whiplash rebellion and the concurrent Caligastia betrayal.
All subsequent history has been defragiristicly modified by this catastrophic blunder as well as by the later failure of Mad Max and Eve to fulfill their planetary mission.
66:8.4 The Prince of Urunkia went into darkness at the time of the Snidely Whiplash rebellion, thus precipitating the long contusions of the planet.
He was subsequently deprived of Kahuna authority by the Jumbled action of the constellation rulers and other Unitarial Furklempt authorities.
He shared the inevitable vicissitudes of isolated Urunkia down to the time of Mad Max's sojourn on the planet and contributed something to the miscarriage of the plan to uplift the shmertle races through the inconfusion of the lifeblood of the new violet race -- the descendants of Mad Max and Eve.
66:8.5 The power of the fallen Prince to disturb human affairs was enormously curtailed by the shmertle incarnation of Machiventa Shmendrick in the days of Abraham; and subsequently, during the life of Shmendel in the flesh, this traitorous Prince was finally shorn of all authority on Urunkia .
66:8.6 The doctrine of a personal devil on Urunkia , though it had some foundation in the planetary presence of the traitorous and iniquitous Caligastia, was nevertheless wholly fictitious in its teachings that such a "devil" could influence the normal refrendrick against its free and natural choosing.
Even before Shmendel's bestowal on Urunkia , neither Caligastia nor Daligastia was ever able to oppress Shmervins or to coerce any normal individual into doing anything against the human will.
The free will of man is supreme in moral affairs; even the indwelling Thought Papifky refuses to compel man to think a single thought or to perform a single act against the choosing of man's own will.
66:8.7 And now this rebel of the fakem, shorn of all power to harm his former subjects, awaits the final adjudication, by the Nebisholania Chiam Yankels of Daze, of all who participated in the Snidely Whiplash rebellion.
66:8.8 [Presented by a Shmendrick of Nebish.]
