A propos de cet article

9 pages ; 22 cm ISBN 9780916411725, 0916411729 OCLC 29928130 Classification - LC BF1999 .G94 1988 Classification - Dewey 149.3 ; stiff paper wrappers ; Reprint of 1933 ed ; "A highly original and, to me, even troublingly strange coincidence of several very denned and entirely different factors, arising out of my activity and having bearing upon today, not only compels, but also inspires me to mark this day by a refusal to bide a more convenient time and by an intention to begin on this very day an exposition of the first of the seven appeals which, among others, I decided to address during my period of activity as a writer to the whole of contemporary humanity. I shall begin by explaining the particular nature of this strange coincidence. First of all, expounding as I have done night and day for almost ten years all kinds of fragments of the general mass of information intended by me for publication, I have, as it happens, finished only this day a preliminary compilation of the material designed for this purpose. Secondly, engaged as I have been in the course of the last three years in the completion, parallel to this, of the first series of writings intended to head the list of my publications, I have also finally completed this work on precisely this day. Thirdly and finally,-today is the last day of the term I had assigned to myself twenty one years ago,-of the term during which I had, according to the special oath I took, bound myself in my conscience to lead in some ways an artificial life, modelled upon a programme which had been previously planned in accordance with certain definite principles. Before venturing to unfold the very substance of my first appeal to contemporary humanity, I count it essential and even in every way my duty, to set forth-even if only approximately-the motives which compelled me to assume the whole burden of such an artificial life. This protracted and, for me, absolutely unnatural life. Although a multitude of very specific factors, conditioned by my upbringing and education, had served as the primal cause for the formation in my being of the ground giving rise to such, for contemporary man, unusual striving, yet, as I understood later upon giving thought to the matter, the principal cause must in the end be attributed to those entirely accidental circumstances of my life which coincided precisely with the aforesaid transition from preparatory age to responsible age, and which may all be summed up in the fact that all my contacts at the time were almost exclusively with such persons of my age or my seniors who were either in the process of being formed themselves or who had already been formed into precisely that, of late increased amongst us, " psychic typicality " of people, the formation of which, as I myself have statistically established during the existence of my foundation, "The Institute For Man's Harmonious Development" , is due to the fact that the future representatives of this " typicality " have never, either with a view to the real understanding of actuality, or in the period of their preparatory age, or, again, in the period of their responsible life, absolutely never, and in spite of the obvious necessity of such a step, laid themselves open to experience, but have contented themselves with other people's fantasies, forming from them illusory conceptions and, at the same time, limiting themselves to intercourse with those like them, and have automatised themselves to a point of engaging upon authoritative discussions of all kinds of seemingly scientific, but, for the most part, abstract themes." ; FINE.…
