The Slugs provides an overview, explanation and interpretation of
G. I. Gurdjieff's masterpiece Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson,
undoubtedly one of the most profound and mysterious books of the
sacred literature in the modern world. The framework of ideas,
claims and objective science offers a fundamentally alternative
view of the nature of life, the origins and history of the Solar
System and humankind, the nature of the human psyche and
psychopathology, and a science of the soul. In the light of The
Tales, most of modern thought and philosophy is so much
'pouring-from-the-empty-into-the-void.' The 'sorry scientists' of
'new format' have no conception of the great inscrutable mysteries
of Nature and the subtle inner dimensions and alchemy of human
beings. Beelzebub's Tales is a work not only of myth, allegory,
history and fantasy, but about the secrets of 'objective science'
and the psychology of the soul. Gurdjieff's masterful Tales also
provides a shocking portrait of the "strangeness of the human
psyche" and explains how humans' essential consciousness and the
divine impulses of faith, hope and love, passed into the
'subconsciousness, ' while a 'false consciousness system' replaced
it, crystallized around their egoism and associated unbecoming
being-impulses. Beelzebub as a cosmic figure of higher reason
observes the horrific "processes of reciprocal destruction," or war
as periodically occurs on Earth, and asks how such phenomenal
depravities come about and why humans cannot eradicate such an
arch-criminal particularity in their psyche. The strange
three-brained beings perceive reality "topsy-turvy," are mechanized
to "see nothing real" and squander their sacred sexual substances
solely for pleasure and their multiform vices. Beelzebub's
portrayal of the "Hasnamusses," individuals who lack the Divine
being-impulse of 'conscience, ' the 'intelligentsia' and the
'crats, ' provides vivid images of the psychopathology of the
world's so-called 'elites' with their special societies or
"criminal gangs," their "international five o'clocks" and
"Hasnamussian sciences." The future of humanity is bleak indeed
without the guidance of a being of such a higher intelligence as
Beelzebub himself. The Slugs, like Gurdjieff's Tales, provides
searing and illuminating insights into human psychopathology, the
cause of war and the horror of it all.
