Chapter 13 The way back

In the six months that Charles spent with Gangothri, he proved a good learner. His mind had been in a state of dementia over the last thirty years. In addition, his future prospects were entirely dependent on his initiative and progress in the present course of events. They combined to create a powerful motivation on him.

He was fighting for his life and his responses were based on an anima instinct that experienced a constant threat on its survival. It pointed to the experience of the Almeg in individuals which is experienced as one from our youth. Thereafter, in engaging the sexual experience, it comes to a division in itself, where that division may enhance the sexual experience.

However, over a prolonged period, the division is experienced as a loss of its basic intrinsic nature and the Almeg breaks away from the influence of the individual, in order to attempt a reunion. This causes the individual to lose control and substitutes for the experience by the cultivation of faith, which is the essential Atharva process.

Like Don Quiote, in Cervantes' ' Man of La Mancha ', Gangothri no longer feared death. He lived for the knowledge and had death brought an untimely end to his life, he would have gladly gone with the insight he had gained into life's mysterious puzzles.

From Charles's observation, Gangothri engaged the schema of the Ninja Turtles, to create an understanding of the organization of the forces, arraigned in his life. He was the rat Sinsei, who was the puppet master and herbalist, that moved all else in him. In his emotions, he was April who helped preserve his vanity. His hopes and expectations were the personification of Casey, to whom he taught stick fighting.

The four turtles, they worked out into four divisions of varna in the world and alternatively also represented the four yugas of the universe. Shredder became identified as the inexplicable, when he would lose all motivation to act or when he fell into sudden and deep rages.

The use of the Ninja Turtle theme had another curious effect. Where Gangothri felt that the world had no care for someone like him, he was surprised to find one day, that the creators of the Ninja Turtles had gone through considerable effort, to bring to people like him, a way of understanding himself while he was in the midnight of his dementia.

It helped him to take a transparent and conscious initiative on issues, without losing control of himself and substituting it with blind faith.

His faith acted as a brake on some of his impulses. It acted as a guide to steer him along socially acceptable impulses.

Charles kept in touch with the ' Little Angels ' Center and provided the necessary input and suggestions on cases. At the end of the six months he left for a meeting with McClellan.

The McClellan group had begun under another name in pre-war Germany. Its early research was into ethnicity and the development of genetic research that was consistent with explaining human behavior and its potentials. A big part of the research was based on studies of the Aryan population.

In the post war period, it was shut down, so they moved their facility to Switzerland where they did work on solutions for the pharmaceutical companies. In the 80s, they were taken over by a consortium representing sanitariums in Europe and the US.

“Our past continues to be a block to our continuing efforts,” said Caine in his office. “Without a fresh perspective on issues, we are constantly falling back into the trench of our past.”

Charles considered it for a moment. It surprised him that the situation continued to involve issues of theistic thought and its conversion to living experience.

“Did you have a look at my research on TMNT?” Charles inquired.

“Yes,” replied Caine, “ but I have a little problem. The doctors have identified a condition in my mind that they say is similar to altitude sickness. Unless my red blood cells can adapt to storing more oxygen in my system, my mind itself is persuading my body to reduce its oxygen intake in order for me to apply myself to greater theistic analysis. That's affecting my ability to stay with the issues.”

“There are people who have such an adaptation in their system,” Charles remarked.

'That's correct,” Caine replied, “ and you are going to meet one later. She's a doctor from Peru who's been with us for about a year. Does great research but, it must be the hypoxia, nobody here can understand what she's talking about.”

“Her work is theoretical?”

“ Highly theoretical!” he exclaimed, “ but is consistent and logical. She assigns a definition and naming convention to issues that redefines everything we know about the human condition but when we try to convert that into experience at this time, we are completely lost.”

“You could refer to it as the Esmeralda factor,” Charles suggested, “ from ' The Phantom of the Opera.' It's a unique experience in an individual. Medical science refers to it as Polycthemia, a high haemoglobia in red blood cell, with the possibility of low immunization. How is her temperament?”

“Like a storm,” Caine responded.

“That could be the trench you keep falling back into,” Charles suggested. “Its not the holocaust.”

Caine raised both his hands in a gesture of emphasis.

“That is where we're at on the issues. Our research is still product oriented. I wish we could create a greater input for social understanding of the issues.”
