“The temple I referred to exists there even up till now and is called, it seems, ‘Mont-Saint-Michel.’”


“It must in fairness be remarked that now and again
certain beings also of the contemporary civilization have
suspected that something was concealed in the productions
which chanced to reach them in the original, specially
created then in Babylon by the members of the club of the
Adherents-of-Legominism, or in those copies which were
made during their transmission from generation to generation
by various conscientious professionals, that is by such
professionals to whom, as I have already said, it was still not
quite proper to plagiarize, and who therefore did not resort
to the detailed remaking of others’ productions in order to
give them out as their own, and thereafter while searching
very seriously for this something, certain of those inquiring
beings of that European civilization even found in them a
certain definite ‘something-or-other.’
“For instance, at the beginning of the contemporary
European civilization one of these beings, a certain monk
named Ignatius, who had formerly been an architect,
attained even to the possibility of deciphering the hidden
knowledge and useful information in the productions of
almost all the branches of what was already called ‘ancient’
art, which had reached him from the Babylonian epoch.
“But when this monk Ignatius was about to share what
is called this said ‘discovery’ of his with other beings there
like himself, namely, with two of his what are called
comrades, monks—together with whom he as a specialist
had been sent by his Abbot for the purpose of directing the
laying of what are called the ‘foundations’ of a temple,
which later became famous—then, for some trifling reason
ensuing from the consequences of one of the properties of
the organ Kundabuffer crystallized in them called ‘envy,’ he
was murdered while asleep and his planetary body was
thrown into the water-space surrounding that small island
on which it was proposed to erect the said temple.
“The said monk Ignatius arose and was formed for
the Being of a responsible being, on the continent Europe;
but when he reached the age of a responsible being, then
with the aim of enriching himself with information
concerning the profession which he had made the aim of
his existence, namely, the profession there called ‘architecture,’
he left for the continent of Africa. And just he it was
who entered as a monk into the ‘brotherhood’ which existed
on that continent Africa, under the name of the ‘Truth Seekers’;
and afterwards, when this brotherhood migrated to the
continent Europe and increased, and when its brethren
began to be called ‘Benedictines,’ he himself was already an
‘All-the-Rights-Possessing-Brother’ of this said brotherhood.
“The temple I referred to exists there even up till now
and is called, it seems, ‘Mont-Saint-Michel.’
