The Strange Case of Rabin Jynuri

About the Book

The Strange Case of Rabin Jynuri is a journey into the terra incognita of the mind. Rabin was an involuntary guest of a state mental hospital. A therapist, determined to get at the source of Mr. Jynuri's quixotic and delusional mind, was convinced he had stumbled across a rare case of "Megalomaniacal Munchausen's Disease."

Rabin would prove to be the case of a lifetime for the heroic Dr. D.W. Dedicated to meet the challenge he constructed a case file, which was intended to support his thesis Ð "Psychophysiosophy and the treatment of integrated neurological and psychiatric disorders." Beginning in the summer of 1967, and continuing up to the time of his murder in the winter of 1968, Dr. D.W. worked on a system of mind/body therapy. He was a pioneer in a field of neuroscience, which incorporates various modern biophysical principles alongside ancient practices of holistic healing.

Transcripts of colorful tape-recorded sessions evolve into picturesque articulations, which lead our minds into a field of splendor. Within the mind of Rabin, there is a valley of the lord, a golden orchis, a golden family, as well as a whole lot of otherworldly realms of weirdness and wonder. It was not an easy task for the good Doctor, but he persevered, and in the end his work survived to tell its amazing story. Readers are urged to partake in the struggle that ensues over a piece of gold; one tiny piece of gold that resides at the center of a madman's consciousness. It is an epic battle waged between a patient that dedicated his life in search of a sacred flower, and the doctor determined to bring him back to reality. Reality becomes obscured as a mystery arises from the battlefield, the line drawn between religion and science dissolves. The doctor finds himself blinded, unable to know "which side of black and white the gray was that he was standing in" Ð as you will soon come to see, it is not an easy distinction to make in Rabin's world. It is an exercise in self-discovery, of finding your way in the dark, of coming to know what it is that eclipses the mind, and troubles the soul.

About the Author

G. A. Barker lives in the Pacific Northwest; he is a martial arts enthusiast and participated in Canada's first "sanctioned" shootboxing fighting championships. He is dedicated to physical fitness, and is developing a system of exercises to aid him in his quest to someday be able to control the symptoms of primary generalized epilepsy.

He had been writing a thesis on the treatment of seizure disorders, and was thrilled to have been handed the torch to continue work on the "Case File of Rabin Jynuri." Although the case outline was complete, it had not been constructed into a readable format. Tapes had to be transcribed and placed within the complexities of an undeveloped text. With the best he could offer, he took up where others had unfortunately left off. He took some liberties in formatting the material, as in lending his name to the prodigal son of "Jaru Baaka," but stays true to the contents of the file.
