In The summer of1816 in Geneva-2
A treatise on Somnambulism by Dr John Folidory
(excerpts reconstructed)
The division of the mind into conscious and subconscious
realms is now an accepted theory. As time goes on there would be more studies
on this aspect than any other study on our physiognomy. The mind is always
trying into search for reality in the unreal world. Actually the unreal worlds
is the real reflection of the day to day affairs but we do not know how to separate
the strains of real and unreal
Take the natural apparitions itself
Day is just a reflection of the night. Night gives the
necessary silhouette and realistic hue to the light that gives us energy and vibrancy
But the removal or the cessation of light is bringing new apparitions and fears
in the mind Like demons who feed on the night
Night is a perennial dream cast in the mind .Its chills, its
feeling of loneliness the uninhabited sideways the fears that lurks beneath are
nothing but a karmic look at life
For those who are madly I nreality, those who cannot see the
reality beyond the shores of light night is the worst apparition. It robs you
of peace, it takes away your belongings, you are afraid to embrace the satanic
hours.
But for those persons whose minds are split into night and
nightlessness .the day and the night are the same. For them it is the hour to
come clean and look at life with new vigour.
It is also the hour of atonement
Numerous case studies are there but all of them poignant to
the core>look at the appendices if you want to see it
The only question is how to treat these patients
Should we administer medicines and deprive them of their internal
peace
Their ability to come to terms with the life
Or should we lend a light unto them so that they could see
their own image in the glasses
Oh my god if they could not see it in the glass
They are nocturnal beings away from god away from light they
are living in the night
No medicine which would induce sleep would help them
They are unsatisfied minds always on the prowl looking at
the bounties of nature the wealth of the nations ,the beauty of the womenfolk,
the underlying ideas of the unnatural prose
He could be a lord ,he could be a bourseigoise he could be a
subaltern underlink
Strong dosages of medicine which would erase the mind of its
disturbances is recommended
Should it be poppy -have to consider
Should it be morhine
type substances
Or Hemlock in less lethal form
The fraternity has to find an ansSwer to the lethal issues
For peer review
