Mahesh had returned from the planet one evening with Heisenberg's shuttle service. He had asked immediately to be taken to Olaf's place, "as fast as possible, please," as he put it. He spoke carefully, in his best English, which he had became more and more proud of, and rightfully so.
I was with him at the shuttle's landing when he made the request. Without thinking much about the unusual request, I escorted him to the museum. "If Olaf is on his planet, he will be easy to find," I said to Mahesh. "He'll be in his museum."
"You come too," Mahesh insisted at the entrance to the dome.
Expecting nothing of any consequence, I trotted along and assisted Mahesh with the difficulty of walking on Martin's metal that formed the floor of the museum. Olaf was at his usual place, stretched out in a lounge in the middle of his work area, deep in thought.
Mahesh drew a chair up beside him and started to tell him about a place on the lower level of the main city where he had his rheumatic hip joint healed. "It was a process of mental surgery," he said to Olaf.
Olaf showed no great interest.
Mahesh told him that the process he proposed is quite commonly used. He said it was explained to him that health could not be accurately defined or be understood on a strictly material basis. He was told that health had essentially nothing to do with material conditions, that it was a concept that belongs to a different sphere, together with life, love, truth and the like.
Here, he got Olaf's attention. "What did you say? Repeat that please! They told you that health belongs to a different subset of reality, that it is an entity of its own, not conditional upon anything! Is this what they told you? If so, do you realize what this means? This means, that they know about the existence of multiple subsets of reality and have experienced the effect of this knowledge to some degree, which is the very basis for understanding the Bohr/Miller effect. My God, do you realize what this means in terms of saving their existence? It means that the fundamental knowledge of the Bohr/Miller effect that we discovered is also imbedded in these people's cultural heritage? It's already there. It only needs to be brought out."
Mahesh affirmed every statement.
Olaf jumped out of his lounge. He was alive again! "Come, we have work to do," he said to Mahesh. With this said, both men disappeared out of sight into the direction of the lab area.
I just stood there, speechless. I remembered Mahesh telling me earlier that he had not been able to walk without pain for over fifteen years, but had been healed.
"All that the 'O' people need to do now," said Odessa, who had overheard the conversation, "is to give some focus to what is already within their innermost awareness. They only need to give it a different form, quite a different form indeed, a new kind of concrete definition, a scientific interpretation that will start their own logical progression...."
"They have a week, don't they?" I interrupted.
"What if it doesn't work?" said Natalia who had come with me to the planet, who was already at the museum when we arrived.
Heisenberg interrupted Natalia with an 'urgent' gesture. "They have exactly nine days!" he said.
"It better not be like our infamous Leipzig affair all over again," said Odessa, joking, and punched him gently for interrupting.
"Are you suggesting that the entire population of the planet 'O' might end up in the middle of the Amazon forest?" I asked, and grinned.
Heisenberg started to laugh. "They would find the Amazon forest too dry!"
