Conclusions

And so it is

Chapter 21 Conclusions

“Okay, so that we start off on the right foot. The study affirms a certain pattern pf behavior in the ethnic composition of the people we have engaged. This serves to confirm the existence of what we define as the innamorata, as the lead on impulses of the society. This again, relates to and is responded by, the mahimorata, which is the impersonal aspect and which we perceive as an active living quality of the world.”

“That would be correct,” Charles confirmed.

“I'm looking for the medium-term predictions...I don't see any,” Irina stated.

“It would take another exercise to do that,” Charles answered. “We related to only those groups we thought would be relevant for an affirmation of the thesis. There are other groups...the Chinese, the middle-eastern..... .”

Irina cut him off.

“So this is only a Indo-European perspective?”

“That's correct,” Charles confirmed. “It is a defining criteria and has been the basis of political decision making for a long time. These days, the ethnic aspect of the relationship is causing many political leaders to move away from references to it.”

“You're saying in the highlights that it represents the old Parthenia-Scythia relation.”

“We think it might have grown from there.”

“So I'm not getting my predictions,” Irina created a mock wail.

Susan jumped in.

“We made some observations in the locations we have studied. Its in the appendix.”

Irina flipped the pages and then stopped at the appendix. She ran her eyes over the page. Then she read it out loud.

“The Crimea separatist condition is expected to intensify because they seek an archetypical head of the family. American influence will diminish as they regroup to refine their theistic experiences of the first 250 years into a living experience. India is expected to continue with the convolution in its society and may achieve an advancement in organizational efficiency, over the next 250 years.”

She paused to look at Charles, then continued.

“The world is headed to a greater orientation in self beliefs and pagan practices. Learning and education is expected to be the growth leader in industry. Social attitudes will have a marked impact by the qualities of individualism. The ambivalent sexual situation with regards to gender is expected to continue. Political trends may be headed towards the concept of a world government.”

She stopped and looked up at the rest.

“Somebody explain gender ambivalence,” she stated.

“It's the way in which the personal and impersonal relate to each other,” Susan offered. We used case study observations to make that conclusion. You could refer to page 112, “ she added.

Irina flipped the pages, then paused to read.

“You found sexual ambivalence in all the case study subjects?” she asked.

“It's a quality of the body mind,” Charles replied. “How it expresses itself in society would depend on the ways that are brought to manage it. The Americans amended marriage laws....elsewhere societies have set up nudist parks and beaches....in some cases it is expressed discretely. Neela best exemplifies the quality.....it is not possible to pursue knowledge and learning without in some sense opening the mind to all possibilities. To deny and create a fixity about gender roles is to deny knowledge based development.”

“This begs for social programs,” Irina said.

“Absolutely correct,” Peter spoke up.

At the directors' meeting a week later, the report was poured over by all the department directors in UNESCO. Many of the questions raised were on the type of social programs that may be engaged. Irina instructed all department heads to indicate their responses to the report within the month.

Thereafter the report was tabled at ECOSOC, chaired by the UN Secretary General. The meeting endorsed Irina's proposal for a second study to be undertaken that would provide an archetype behavorial based predictive quality, to the world's events over the next twenty years.

Two weeks later, the report was tabled at the General Assembly for the endorsement of country representatives.

Charles had a holiday coming up. He figured he'll visit Kashmir and along the way, check out to see how Neela was doing.
