The three forces

  "In these nerve nodes scattered over the whole planetary body, all the results obtained from the affirming manifestations of their 'head brain' and denying manifestations of their 'spinal marrow' accumulate. And these results, once they are fixed in the nerve nodes scattered over the whole of their common presence, serve as the 'neutralizing principle' in the further process of affirmation and denial between the head brain and spinal marrow, in the same way as in the Megalocosmos the sum of all the results of the affirming manifestations of the Protocosmos and the various shades of denial of the newly arisen suns serve as the 'neutralizing force' in their further process of affirmation and denial.

"And so, like ourselves, the three-brained beings of the planet Earth are not only apparatuses—with the qualities of all three forces of the fundamental common-cosmic Triamazikamno—for transforming cosmic substances required for the Most Great Trogoautoegocrat, but also have the possibility, while absorbing these substances coming from three independent sources, of assimilating, in addition to the substances indispensable for their own existence, certain substances destined for the coating and perfecting of their own higher being-bodies."
