Fourth part
The burst of the second world war caught me surprised on this walk of
studies and searches. Bitterly I was forced to consider that human beings pursued their
premature end, rather than search for the truth. But at that time I hadn't
understand yet that every human action, even the most iniquitous and bestial,
has however its own reason to be done and for me, that war, would have been
another fundamental step on the way of comprehension. When Germany,
violating the accords formerly taken, moved war to England, attaching London, I
realized that the right moment had come for me to show that the Parnells loved
to fight for freedom, under any flag and against whoever oppressed its
exercise. I threw to England and enlisted in the Royal Air Force, despite I
have to confess you that, after the betrayal of my father, I felt more Irish
than English, also considering that in those days, as it is today, Ireland was
divided in two parts, with a part still under the British dominion. After
a brief but intense training I was assigned, as I had required myself, having
the pre-requisite for it, to pilot’s hunting squads. Between-whiles of my
missions I had the opportunity to deeply analyze the causes of those disastrous
events. I had been, it is true, in the years immediately preceding the war
completely devoted to my studies, in a way that I could call, purely scientific
of the phenomenon which stand at the base of the human life, but it was not
certainly in the fore coming years of war that we had to seek the reasons and
the causes of it. The roots of hate and evil sank their extreme appendixes in
the most tangled and lavish meanders of human mind. These deleterious feelings,
so inherent to human mind, were to be conceived like the principal causes of
that huge bath of blood. From this premise I puzzled out that the basic
beliefs of the national socialist philosophy were correct: the humanity, in
order to be saved, needed a superior race to be raised over the others for
leading them to salvation. But German race could not certainly be the chosen
one. Not even any other among the existing could be it, because it had to be a
race who didn't know, in their hearts but goodness and love. With a
greater fury than before, I addressed all my energies against the hateful
enemy: I challenged death ten, hundred, thousands of times, always defeating
the adversary. Plainly, the truth was clear to me: the contours of my destiny
assumed more and more its clean and precise outline. It appeared more and more
evident the role that was reserved to me in the history of the world.” I
resolutely threw myself heart and soul into brain’s study. I felt that I had to
create a super brain in order to be reproduced and form a race of super-men
able to drive on the right direction this dregs of humanity that inhabits the
world. After some rough attempts of surgical engineering, that occupied
me for different years, whose initial success and following disappointed
bitterness, almost led me to abandon the whole project, it was the fate to
intervene and to point out the right way to me. Which kind of test would I have
still waited for? The same celestial stars directly showed me the way! A
beautiful day, in fact, while I was observing under the microscope a cat’s
brain, ulterior, fortunate guinea-pig, subtracted to the deprivations of its
life for the glory of the Science, an amazing account happened to me. I
had set the small feline’s organ in a cylindrical open neck test-tube and I was
continuously thinking about it, looking as usual for a sprout of understanding
on its complex and mysterious composition. At a certain point, needing
something to eat, I went upstairs. I left unwillingly open the microscope’s
focus. I was going to have a cup of tea, with my daily survival meal, when I
heard some beats on the door. The circumstance was quite unusual. Nobody ever
came to find me and Soledad, the Mexican housemaid who was in charge for
homework, as an invisible angel, entered in the house using her own key. As
I opened the door a young man introduced himself as an emissary of an English
legal study “Heirs and Heirs” .
