Dogra Magra Page #2

Synopsis: A man is confined to a mental institution after trying to murder his fiancee. Two doctors relate his problem to an Asian philosophy that states that mental defects are transmitted from generation to generation. He learns that one of his distant ancestors murdered his wife as a way of demonstrating a point to his lord about the importance of love over the emptiness of lust and to drive home the point further, created a series of illustrations of the dead woman decaying which in turn trigger the memories of his distant descendent. But is the whole thing merely a game concocted by the two doctors, who may even have driven themselves mad?

Therefore, I'm not Ichiro!

I see.

Right? No connection at all.

Does this scene jog a memory?

"Dr. Masaki's Laboratory"

That's Dr. Masaki's

collection of specimens.

Please look at them.

Should one give you

the slightest hint,

perhaps it will

bring back your past.

Whatever's this?

That patient cut

his own arm off...

with that knife, there.

And this?

He tried to poison his entire family.

That cat was an ingredient.

What's this, sir?

A young university student

wrote it in one session.

A kind of novel.

Extremely valuable in our research.

"Dogra Magra."

What's it mean?

A chant used by a secret

christian sect in Nagasaki.

Preface.

O fetus, O fetus,

why do you undulate?

Is it knowing mother's heart

that fills you with dread?

It's quite bizarre.

Extremely so.

Modeled the story line on himself...

and wrote a mystery including

Dr. Masaki and myself.

Reading it is enough

to send one mad.

All jumbled, is it?

Not at all, it's

carefully planned.

Sit yourself here

and read for a spell.

No thanks.

This?

You found it.

That's Dr. Masaki.

The slide narration was his voice.

Pre-ordained, you

finding his photograph.

Picking up the

Dogra Magra novel.

Something's stimulated

your deepest memories.

Something made you stand here.

And the "Embryo's Dream"

you pick up...

became his graduation thesis!

Embryo's Dream?

Do they dream?

Of course they dream.

In the 10 months that

embryos gestate,

they experience

one long dream.

Think of it as the reason

for the gestation,

this 10 months long

dream they undergo.

During this 10 months,

the fetus...

takes on characteristics of

numerous of our earthly species.

And absorb all the memories

of their ancestors...

into each of their billions

of cells before being born.

Hence, the mental and physical

development of the embryo...

depends on the

ancestral memories...

or the embryonic dream.

You remember something?

No, but Dr. Masaki...

What about him?

Nothing.

He certainly seems different...

with such a collection.

We all considered him eccentric.

His doings are beyond

the ken of most folk.

He completed many great

scholarly achievements.

But his most outstanding

accomplishment was...

the creation of the Freedom

Cure Experimental Grounds.

There are 10 examples of IPC.

Dharma faced a stone

wall for 9 years...

and became a great

spiritual leader.

To make us all as one,

an lmperial Japanese Dharma

Association needs be formed.

For the sake of our

lmperial Highness, the Emperor.

Matters not if it's

a wall of stone or wood.

The first step

needs to be taken!

Professor! Professor Masaki.

It's you, is it?

I read your article.
