Sic Itur Ad Astra-The Literary Executor

“Know this, the real Sic Itur Ad Astra—not the stolen, prematurely published, adulterated version of one of its early, incomplete and therefore unmarketable volumes—has been prepared, organized and formatted precisely and exactly as Galambos wanted it done. What is more, it has the imprimatur of his literary executor. Any other version of this revolutionary fifteen-volumed achievement, even if it were a perfect parallel of the authentic work, could not have been done right, as it would be produced by someone who did not have Galambos’ permission. I quote the author of Sic Itur Ad Astra:

Let’s say in that case the world has attained freedom through a book which is based on my ideas but has been written by someone else without my permission. I have lost control over my property. What’s your security? The definition [of freedom] has just been contradicted. You don’t have freedom.

“To those who live in future times this pamphlet [Orbit!] will not only present an important history, but will honor Galambos’ theory of teaching; namely, that it is not enough to teach the content of a subject, one must also teach the history and philosophy that made that subject’s content possible. To the pre-subscribers to Sic Itur As Astra who chose to do nothing in the face of the crimes that were committed against Galambos and his estate, or who took a hand in abetting these crimes, I say this—the terms of your redemption are in this pamphlet. And to those pre-subscribers who remained true to the professor’s concept of justice and defended him in these dark days, I say you alone deserve to receive Sic Itur Ad Astra free of any other charge, as Galambos wished.”

Ladies and Gentlemen: I present to you from Galambos’ literary executor
Sic Itur Ad Astra!

(Above) The fifteen volumes of Sic Itur Ad Astra plus a three session introduction. Due to the “trustees” withholding of funds from the literary executor the book has yet to be bound properly in its hardback form. The content, however, is finished, beautifully done and meets the exacting standards demanded by Professor Galambos.

If you signed the Pre-publication Subscription Agreement to purchase professor Galambos’ Book 1 and received this book (pictured below) you are the victim of a crime:

Ladies and gentlemen, listen to the words of professor Galambos’ appointed and authorized literary executor as he cries out against the injustice being done to the professor, to this beautiful theory, to those of us who contracted with the professor for the real Sic Itur, and for future generations to come:

“This is not the title page to Sic Itur Ad Astra. It is not the title page to Course V-50. It is not the title page to ‘Volume One.’ It is not the title page to the theory of volition. It is none of these things. It is the title page to a truncated, polluted, altered version of Galambos’ course V-50 and V-50X which was published under the stolen title of Sic Itur Ad Astra by people the professor never authorized, and, in the case of Sisco, never even knew. From the beginning to end it is riddled with violations of the theory, misrepresentations, lies, usurpations, and insults of the most vicious kind against the professor. It is cheaply done. Its pages are often unattached and fall out. Its binding is impermanent and glued. It contains well over a thousand typographical and spelling errors resulting from uncorrected scanning of the hard-copy text they stole from me and published over my protests. Even the color of the paper is wrong. It violates the off-white specifications of the author….
“The first line [of the title page] reads:

SIC ITUR AD ASTRA

“Again I say it, this is an unmitigated lie. Galambos never empowered Hayes, Joyner or Sisco to edit or publish his book. Those monumental tasks were reserved to his literary executor. Therefore to steal an early, unfinished manuscript of mine, to mangle it with scanning errors, misspellings, and a myriad other bungling, to add to it a misplaced, massively truncated version of V-50X with an almost nonexistent index, along with an editor’s note allegedly written by Mrs. Galambos but grossly altered and shortened from the original, then to amputate the major point in the Joe Pyne interview, and to publish the whole as a single volume titled Sic Itur Ad Astra, makes this title page one of the most loathsome acts of presumption and outright plunder of the professor’s theory of capitalism (V-50) that can be imagined!
“Nor does the sordid affair end here. In direct violation of the pre-publication subscription agreement, Joyner, Hayes and Sisco have conspired to publish Book I (Sic Itur Ad Astra) is serialized form! This was not, I repeat not, what the professor wanted. To serialize his book was as remote to him as finding an alligator in his bathtub, and was to be invoked only under such improbable and undesirable conditions. I quote:

It is to be noted that serialization is neither probable nor desirable, but is an alligator (a contingency) provision for undesirable conditions that may prevent normal publication in typical book form.

Pre-Publication Subscription Agreement
Article 7.6, p. 17

“…Let us proceed to an examination of the next line on the title page. It reads:

THIS IS THE WAY TO THE STARS

Another lie. A stolen version of Galambos’ Sic Itur Ad Astra cannot be the way to the stars. It is an invalid claim to it, and the reason for its invalidity should be obvious to anyone who knows Galambos’ theory of volition. The reason is this: the right to publish a stolen work cannot be derived from the theory of volition’s second postulate. That revolutionary postulate states:

All concepts of happiness which do not include immoral action are equally valid.

V-50 Session 3, Part B
p. 145

In other words, thieves have no valid claim to the use of property that they have stolen from someone else. How important is this principle? Galambos called it the giant of his theory, and gave this explanation:

Now, the second postulate itself has a certain ability to accomplish something which has never been accomplished. It has the ability to convert freedom from a cause to a product.

V-50X: Session 3, Part A
p. 150

“Thus to contradict and deliberately violate this postulate, as Hayes and Joyner et al have done, is to thwart “the ability to convert freedom from a cause to a product.” Let me repeat that. Any act that violates this postulate, such as present publication of this unauthorized volume is an invalid act that thwarts or obstructs the building of freedom. Galambos expanded on this vital point in his concluding remarks of his great course V-50X: ‘Surface the Giant!’ It is so important it deserves to be quoted in its entirety:

Let me tell you something else. Supposing somebody did, in fact, successfully write a book which is based on what I have developed. I claim it cannot be done. The very fact that a thief writes it automatically means that it cannot be done right. Would you entrust the job of the police chief to Al Capone? Would you entrust to a known thief your property that is used to protect it? That’s preposterous!

V-50X: Session 3, Part B
p. 190

“I pass now to the next claim on this spurious title page:

By Andrew J. Galambos

“This is at best only a partial truth because more than 400 pages have been amputated from the original text, and what is left that hasn’t been rewritten or paraphrased has been stolen from the author and his literary executor. Therefore this statement is a more dangerous species of lie than an outright total misrepresentation of what the author taught.”

Final Comments on the Stolen, Prematurely Published, Adulterated Version of “Sic Itur Ad Astra”

Ladies and Gentlemen, before announcing to you and showing you perhaps the greatest achievement you have been exposed to in two decades I wish to wrap up the subject of so-called Volume I.
What you have read above was just part of one chapter, a few pages, dealing with ONE Page of “Volume I.” Lest you think the criminals who stole and published this were just having a bad day when they did the title page, I urge you to purchase and read Orbit! Being an Examination of Sic Itur Ad Astra’s Creation and Final Triumph (more on the final triumph in a few minutes). No, every page of “Volume I” is filled with errors, insults, carelessness and crimes. From the checks stolen from the professors’s natural estate and placed in unsecured plastic sleeves on the inside cover of the book, as though they’re a promised autograph from Galambos himself; to the copy number page full of promises, lies and statements the publishers were never authorized to make; to the prototype and copyright page clearly done by someone who understands neither the content nor the history of the theory. There is no cosmological or technological identification of the prototype and the years are wrong. To the ISBN number stolen from Galambos’ estate, to the flatland disgusting political statement “Printed in the United States of America.” To the list of pre-subscibers which had no authorization or support from Galambos or his literary executor. The garbage Mr. Soule dares to express in his introduction to this list was never so much as mentioned in or even remotely alluded to in Galambos’ trust document, the pre-publication agreement, his set of separate instructions to the literary executor or anywhere in the text of Sic Itur Ad Astra itself! To the acknowledgements written by the editor who was not the editor and had no authority to acknowledge those who assisted in the editing and publishing. That authority was vested in the literary executor and in no one else! To the contents of the book itself whose subheads are unacceptably phrased, the Joe Pyne interview partially deleted and V-50X massively butchered. All in all 400 pages of invaluable text have been deleted from this butchered volume. To the editor’s notes which show beyond doubt his intention to HARM the author’s literary properties. To the foreword, to the handwritten copy of dedication which violates numerous principles set forth in The Chicago Manual of Style which was included in the instructions left by the Galamboses to their literary executor; to the printed copy of dedication which contains 16! errors. Yes, in reproducing Galambos’ handwritten dedication to typescript they completely botched it! The sentences of the handwritten original which were flowing one after the other are broken up into random paragraphs! Galambos’ boyhood nickname for his father, Japja, is misspelled Jopja, they fail to hyphenate his father’s last name of Galambos-Brown and on and on.The incompetence everywhere one looks is beyond description or imagination!
I could go on and on. Again, do yourself a favor: get a copy of Orbit! and read it. It will sensitize you to the horror of this version of Galambos’ book that should never have been published in this condition. It will also sensitize you to the extreme competence and quality of Galambos’ appointed literary executor, who as you will see, fulfilled his ultimate task totally and completely in spite of all obstacles thrown in his way by the professor’s enemies.
And one more thing before I move on. So much for the quality of the content of the book. How about the quality and condition of the book itself? How about the quality of the paper for which Galambos left explicit instructions to the literary executor? Appendix 18 of Orbit! reproduces the letter from Heritage Bindery written in reply to William Martin’s assistant, Erik Falvey, who asked them to evaluate the quality of the book. Here is a copy of that letter. Imagine the great fury of the professor if he knew that Volume I of his magnum opus was not only a stolen, prematurely published, adulterated version of Sic Itur Ad Astra, but that the physical book itself would “have a life expectancy of a few hours”! What would he think of the plunderers, blunderers and criminals who had allowed this to happen? And all the while his chosen literary executor, the only man on the planet who had the knowledge, stamina, and competence to put the theory into book form (and ultimately would!) was forced by the flatland courts and flatland trustees to watch as the professor’s Primary AND Primordial property were murdered!

Since this is not Volume One of Sic Itur Ad Astra and since it is an abomination,
why would anyone be demanding publication of the remaining volumes?

No one in their right mind can say that whatever this is that the trustees have thrown out at us and called “volume I” resembles anything professor Galambos had in mind when he announced at the Tenth Anniversary Alumni Meeting in March 1971 that he was ready to write his book.
The theme of this historic meeting was “Lift-Off” which symbolized the first critical stage in getting his theories into permanent configuration, into publishable printed form which he called orbit. At that time and from then forward he offered his customers a pre-publication subscription agreement for the purchase of his book.
What would this historic book that would propel his theories into orbit consist of? Let the pre-publication subscription agreement (PPSA) tell you in no uncertain terms:

“Book 1” means the book containing the theories taught
by Andrew J. Galambos in the Volitional Science courses
(principally courses V-50 and V-201) of FEI.

Do I need to say more? Was the abomination handed out at the “open house celebration…at which Pre-Subscribers and others may pick up copies of Volume One” (words of Joyner and Hayes), held on 1999, April 17 Book I? Not to belabor the point but a stolen, prematurely altered version of an early manuscript is not book 1. Again, book 1 “contains the theories taught by …” Theories is plural. Book 1 is the theory of capitalism (V-50) AND the theory of primary property (V-201). One without the other does not a book make!
Yes, I am well aware of the litigation in 2006 in which Frederic Marks and several pre-publication subscription customers, angry at the trustees for not fulfilling the terms of the contract, pressed litigation against the trustees. I urge you to visit Mr. Richard Boren’s website for excellent documentation of this and much more (www.galambos-fei.com). I am also aware of the insane judgement that was made in the case in which a flatland judge who was as clueless of the world Galambos was trying to build as the two-dimensional square in Edwin Abbott’s classic Flatland was of the third-dimension. In this ruling the judge said that:

The PPSA calls for the inclusion of edited selections from Galambos’s lectures. The process of selecting what part of the lecture tapes are to be included in the book and which ones are to be deleted is a creative and artistic effort. As with all artistic and creative endeavors, there is no objective standard by which one can measure its completion. For this reason as well as those discussed above, judgement must be entered for defendants as to the second cause of action… Since there has been no breach of contract for failure to deliver Book 1, and since any right to refund is barred by the statute of limitations, judgement for the defendants is appropriate …

So, according to the flatland courts Book 1 has been delivered in full!!! And the “trustees” have fulfilled their obligation to those who purchased the book!

Ladies and gentlemen, in your wildest imagination did you ever think you would see the day when the “trustees” of Andrew J. Galambos whose sole reason for being nominated trustees (at least in the case of Joyner. The other two charlatans were never nominated by Galambos and in fact violate the principle of sole-trusteeship set forth in V-201) was for the trust to publish his literary works, would go to court to argue AGAINST publication of Book 1 in a case brought about by customers of the professor who simply wanted the book contract honored???

But let’s not be too shocked. Did not Galambos warn us:

No amount of pessimism is adaquate to cope with flatland; no amount of optimism is adequate to cope with the grandeur of future spaceland.

V-231: Session 6, Part A
1983, July 23

The woeful abomination that is “Volume I” has been withdrawn from the market. Even if you wanted, for some unimaginable reason, to purchase this disaster the trustees won’t let you. They have also decided that the best way to promote the professor’s work is to deny it to the consuming public. They have no intention of EVER publishing another volume of Sic Itur Ad Astra and as far as I’m concerned, though they are doing so for the wrong reason (what a surpise!), that is good news. Even better news is this:

The real Sic Itur Ad Astra is finished and has been for seventeen years!!! It is true, Ladies and Gentlemen, and the proof is below for your perusal. Here are the words of the literary executor in the Preface to his account of the completion of this monumental work in his book Orbit!:

In this “pamphlet” you will learn how freedom has become an attainable reality through the great achievement of Professor Galambos. You will also learn how immediately after his death his great theories of volitional science were expropriated, defiled and partially and prematurely published by interlopers from his own market seeking unearned glory and personal aggrandizement, and how, in spite of these treacherous crimes, Professor Galambos succeeded through his literary executor in getting his theories of Volitional Science published and put, as he allegorically stated it, into their permanent, stable configuration which he called orbit!.
Know this, the real Sic Itur Ad Astra—not the stolen, prematurely published, adulterated version of one of its early, incomplete and therefore unmarketable volumes—has been prepared, organized and formatted precisely and exactly as Galambos wanted it done. What is more, it has the imprimatur of his literary executor. Any other version of this revolutionary fifteen-volume achievement, even if it were a perfect parallel of the authentic work, could not have been done right, as it would be produced by someone who did not have Galambos’ permission. I quote the author of Sic Itur Ad Astra:

Let’s say in that case the world has attained freedom through a book which is based on my ideas but has been written by someone else without my permission. I have lost control over my property. What’s your security? The definition [of freedom] has just been contradicted. You don’t have freedom.

ONCE AGAIN, I present to you from Galambos’ literary executor
Sic Itur Ad Astra!

“The worst thing you can do to misapply the theory is to patronize plagiarists and assorted intellectual thieves. There is no way you can discourage an innovator better than to patronize his plunderers. I have had plenty. Patronize them, and you will act to discourage the disclosures and to create a greater desire to say, ‘The hell with it! The mint is not the only place one can go to.'”
V-201: Session 47, Part b
Vol. VIII, P. 113

“Many of my customers patronize these twerps, these endless annual crop of twerps! And you know what you do? You do the same thing as Linus did for Newton. You are essentially discouraging the true innovator while you’re patronizing thieves, plagarist twerps who have nothing to offer, have nowhere to go, but which seek a little bit of short-term glory from unearned wealth, unearned accomplishment, with no aspirations for improvement. But those who patronize them, you’re essentially dealing in stolen merchandise. That’s what a fence does, you know, in the vernacular. You’re handling stolen merchandise, and you’re helping to peddle it. What does that do for ethical business? It discourages it, doesn’t it? These are major misapplications which happen annually by the dozen.”

Ladies and gentlemen here it is: The ONE and ONLY Sic Itur Ad Astra! The only version that will ever have the all-critical imprimatur of Galambos’ literary executor. Any other version, as demonstrated above, is stolen goods. To those who failed to support Galambos’ greatest friend, William Martin, back in that vital period between the years of 1997-2003, just look where that mistake has gotten you today. To those who sided with or openly supported the “trustees”, or worse, did nothing, how has that worked out for you? WHAT HAVE THOSE WHO ARE SQUATTING ON GALAMBOS’ ESTATE DONE IN THE LAST TWENTY-ONE YEARS TOWARDS BUILDING FREEDOM??? What have they done towards the “publication, perpetuation and protection of the innovations of Andrew J. Galambos, including publication of the theories and other works of Professor Galambos as may be appropriate.”? Answer: worse than NOTHING. Why worse? They fired Galambos’ appointed literary executor (which they had ZERO authority to do) because he was actually going to deliver the goods with Sic Itur Ad Astra and other books of the professor, and later went to court to get a flatland judge to “allow” them NOT TO BE FORCED TO PUBLISH anything after the abortion which they called Volume 1 (and even that they withdrew from sale)!!! None of this was an accident; it was not even through incompetence. It was planned! THE TRUSTEES HAVE NEVER HAD ANY INTENTION OF PUBLISHING SIC ITUR AD ASTRA (“the theories taught by Andrew J. Galambos in the Volitional Science courses (principally courses V-50 and V-201) of FEI.” After perusing the brief examples of Book I presented here please read the final discussion of the trustee’s latest treachery.

Regarding the statement above by Professor Galambos:

“I now believe I know the true reason [why Galambos never wrote his book]. His subconscious mind knew that there was one, only one, way for his living revolutionary theory to be written up, and that one indispensable way was precisely what I am doing now: editing his tapes in presentable, readable form with warts and all. Any other approach would lose the vital quickening power of his volitional and subvolitional inputs, without which the reader cannot fully feel, as well as grasp, the unprecedented break from man’s volitional and subvolitional past. Also to be noted. Galambos himself consciously believed, falsely I think, that his edited tapes would be an inferior albeit acceptable alternative to his formal, more rigorous writing of the books. As this was, I believe, not true and was at variance with his subconscious, he was powerless to resist its blocking power. So in the end, he knew what he was doing after all, by proving true to his subconscious promptings.”
William W. Martin
Orbit! Part III, p. 238

“And I would like at this time to say that when I was a small boy my Father taught me a small but most monumentally large statement. It’s a small statement in that it’s only four short words, and it’s a monumentally large concept. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Sic Idur Ad Astra which means: ‘This is the way to the stars…” I would like to introduce you to man’s first, major, near-term goal: our nearest neighbor in galactic space—the Andromeda Galaxy–about a million light-years away:”
