The eagle lands

A reckoning

Chapter 11 The eagle lands

“It's like life came down from the mountains and settled down in the plains,” Susan said. “It broke up into two groups, with one group going west and another to the east.”

“We may have a case for world heritage then?” Irina asked.

“Absolutely,” replied Charles.

“We have already gazetted the Altay range as heritage, on account of its biodiversity,” Peter informed.

Irina nodded.

“Okay,” she gestured,” my usual rules, don't give me your scientific jargon.....just an overall view.....say it in simple words. What does this tell us about man's heritage?” She looked at Charles.

“The human archetype may have begun in primate behavior in the Carparthian mountains in the Ukraine,” he began tentatively.

“This is Susan's report?” Irina asked.

Charles nodded to affirm. He then continued.

“Then a Neela-Kozinsky divide occurred. We think that might have occurred in the ancient Anatolia experience. They both then went their separate ways.” He paused, “Then we don't know what happened. There is no scientific basis for the reincarnation of souls. But what we think happened is that, the soul of the life sought greater and greater ways to improve on itself. To do that it evolved through a series of rebirths, congruent with its advancing experiences.”

Irina lit up a cigarette. Charles did the same.

“The folks who went west, recorded their histories and drew from there, the archetypical identity of themselves. We think at this time, that such an identity was founded on the basis of the hero of the story.”

“This might explain the Greek tragedy of the hero, who inevitably falls,” Susan added.

“The life force travels around the world, taking on different bodies. But more than reaching the zenith of its experience, it wanted to know of itself. We find this in the folks from the east, who similarly recorded their experiences in legends.”

Peter moved to contribute.

“The effect of relating to cast characters in the legends, stimulated the experience as an impulse but did not bring the identity to ground level. So a blacksmith was still a blacksmith, despite the fact that his internal image portrayed him as a Herakles from the legends.”

“So that evolved the divinity experience?” Irina suggested.

“Certainly, it is one such possibility to arise from the experience. So while the East set up the Krishna phenomenon, the west set up Troy. Both experiences fell thereafter on account of the basis of the identity.” Charles spoke with deliberated manner.

He continued.

“We think the two experiences occurred between the years 1,500 bc to 500 bc. Thereafter, the original experience that produced the human archetype, went into a more forceful Neela-Kozinsky split. In that it produced the Jesus and Mohamed phenomenon, about 500 years apart from each other. We think there was a particular ferociousness in the wars that were fought between 500 bce and 1500 bce. Its purpose was to create a greater separation of the experiences of the mahimorata and the innamorata.”

“There are both one, but at the same time are different,” Peter offered.

Susan looked over her notes, before commenting,

“There's evidence of a continuing culture of separation in the area around the Black Sea, in the southern Ukraine. The intensity of experience in groups causes divisions and these get taken up later in the political causes of the regions. So we looked at the nations around the Black Sea area and identified Romania, as the continuing male archetype and Bulgaria as the female archetype.”

“These are indicative of the nature of relations between man and woman,” Charles offered.

Susan nodded.

“On the eastern board, Georgia continues to identify itself with St. George, the dragon slayer, while Armenia, represents itself as the Griffin, an early symbol of that which has evolved into the symbol of the dragon.”

“Meaning that gender relations in the west are more indicative of a social nature, while the same in the east is indicative of greater individualization.” Charles elaborated on the issue.

“But its indicative of a variety of such experiences, not especially archetypical?” Irina asked after some consideration.

“That would be right,” Charles affirmed. “We think that the faith introduced by Mohamed, seeks to find the center of these experiences, but they are obviously shared with its natural opposite, the Christian practice. Where it might be possible to bring a bridge to their experiences, we might see the impact of that in the Crimea, which we think holds the key to the union.”

“We think in some way that might already be existing in the experiences of the people in the Crimea and the Ukraine,” Susan offered, “ but we will need corroborative data to support that view.”

“That would explain the international interests in the Crimea, all those years,” Irina echoed.

“Virtually every major foreign power has had a hand in the history of the Crimea,” Susan reported.

“Are the case studies helping us to support any of these views,” Irina asked Charles.

“The experiences are as yet incomplete,” Charles reported. “For a complete sense of understanding, of one man's identity to the world, our two subjects must come to identify themselves as related to the dream of the Crimea.”

“And that is?” Irina asked.

“The experience of the most high. The Russians have until recently referred to it as the Tsar,” Charles responded. “It's drawn from the early experiences of Assyur, Ishtar or Indra.”

“It is possible to make an assessment as to whether they will advance to that identity in the future,” Peter offered.

“How much more time do you need?” Irina asked. “ We need more corroborative support from Crimea and the assessment on the case study subjects.”

“Three to five months,” suggested Charles.

“You've got it,” Irina replied, standing up and going back to her table. “ I will need a predictive quality from the results. I'll need to know why there was a war for 30 years in Sri Lanka or whether there is going to be a new hotspot in Africa?”

“We can come close,” offered Charles.

“Get on with it,” Irina suggested, her mind already elsewhere on the issues.
