SELFISHNESS 295 would have reached my own position as set forth above. It is the twin of "moral responsibility," of the sense of guilt or sin. The Hebrew fable of Eden and the "Fall" is clearly constructed . But remember that the serpent Nechesh 11M 1 is equivalent to Messiach, the Messiah. The M is the "Hanged Man," the sinner; and is redeemed by the insertion of the Phallic God. P.P.P.S. An amusing coincidence. Just as I was polishing up this letter the lady whom I had just engaged to help me with some of my work irritated me to the point when my screams became so heartrending that the village will never sleep again as smoothly as its wont. They split the welkin in several places; and although invisible menders were immediately put on the job it is generally felt that it will never more be its own original wholeness. And why? Just because of her anxiety to please! She asked me if she might do something; I said "Yes"; she then went on begging for my consent, explaining why she had made the request, apologizing for her existence! She could not understand that all she had to do was to try and please herself-the highest part of herself-to be assured of my full satisfaction. P.P.P.P.S. "But the A :. A:. oath ; aren't you-we-all out to improve the race, not counting the cost to ourselves?" Pure selfishness, child, with foresight! I want a decent place to live in next time I come back. And a longer choice of first rate vehicles for my Work.
