Circular Letter of 13 January 1949

paris, 17.
13th January, 1949.
This is addressed to all my present and former adepts and to all who have been directly or indirectly influenced by my ideas and have sensed and understood that they contain something which is necessary for the good of humanity. After fifty years of preparation and having overcome the greatest difficulties and obstacles, I have now reached the moment when I have decided to publish the first series of my writings in three books under the title of “An Objectively Impartial Criticism of the Life of Man”, or “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. By this publication I shall begin to actualize the plans I have prepared for the trans- mission of my ideas to the whole of contemporary and future humanity.
In order to accomplish this task, I shall need the help of all those who have understood something of the value of my ideas and especially those who have gained personal benefit and help from their study. I intend that the first series of my writings shall be made freely available without payment to all those who are in need of their help. The first edition of the first series of is now in course of preparation in one volume of nearly 1,000 pages and will be printed in four languages. The distribution of such a great work will cost a very large sum of money and in order to make it possible, I ask you and all my other pupils to buy one copy of the first printing for a sum of $400 for the American edition, £100 for the English edition, and 25,000 francs for the French edition. If you can buy more than one copy you will correspondingly help more people to enjoy the benefit of free copies. Those who cannot buy a copy alone may join with one or two others.
By means of this action, it will be possible for all those who have gained personal help from contact with my ideas to do something to repay and to help to reap the harvest which I have sown.
