(Continued research
for historical novel)
It is obvious that Peter and Paul could not benefit from
later terminology to express emotions, metal states, and suchlike,
as we have now. Yet mental aberrations, deviations from the accepted norm must
have existed. One can but wonder how P & P dealt with them, how they described
them. It seems that symbolism to explain the unexplainable must have been in
high demand. Obviously, the apostles could not benefit from the achievements of Sigmund
Freud or Carl Jung or any other psychiatrists/psychologists/students of
human nature.
Yet they, Peter and his small band of men, managed to completely change the state of
consciousness of tens of thousands of people, without driving them mad.
Amazing! What fantastic powers of persuasion! And… what they offered must have
been completely revolutionary. The question is what???
It is evident that something profound and unexplainable must have taken
place on the feast of Pentecost. What was it?
What was, what must have been, the secret of Shavuoth?
