The Chootboglitanical period

     "And thus it continued right up to the time of that frightful cosmic event which, as I have already told you, is now called the 'chootboglitanical period.'

     "Before that common-cosmic misfortune, all the 'highest being-bodies' that arose and were perfected in certain tetartocosmoses and in their first descendants were immediately united with the Most Holy Protocosmos itself, because their common presence was still actualizing the results fully corresponding to it.

     "Before this terrible cosmic event, the sacred Theomertmalogos that issued from the Most Holy Sun Absolute was still in a pure state, without any admixture of extraneously caused arisings having their own subjective properties, and when this sacred Theomertmalogos entered the spheres of those planets on which the sacred crystallizations arose, whose transformations through 'beings-apparatuses' served for the coating and perfecting of higher being-bodies, these latter acquired a presence exactly corresponding to the required conditions of existence in the sphere of the Most Holy Sun Absolute.

     "But after that common-cosmic misfortune, on account of which the sacred Theomertmalogos began to issue from the Most Holy Sun Absolute with the admixture of subjective properties coming from extraneously caused arisings, from that time on, the sacred 'highest being-bodies' no longer had the possibility of corresponding to the required conditions of existence in the sphere of the Most Holy Prime Source."
