00:00:28Satsang with Mooji
00:00:30Oh, my God.
00:01:00Oh, my God.
00:01:30Oh, my God.
00:02:05Oh, my God.
00:02:30I'd stay if I were you. He only lectures once a week.
00:02:34Now you've got to stay.
00:02:35Oh, my God.
00:03:03Last Friday, we dealt with the smaller group of strictly moronic criminals.
00:03:09And now we come to that much more interesting phenomenon, the sane criminal.
00:03:15The man who is prepared to pursue his own ethical convictions, even to the point of murder.
00:03:21The man whose punishment is apt to weigh heavily on the conscience of society,
00:03:26because his actions as likely as not have been inspired by just as great an integrity as those of the
00:03:31men who sit in judgment.
00:03:33At worst, he's an irresponsible opportunist.
00:03:37At the best, he's a man with a strong sense of justice, even a mystic.
00:03:45I propose to relate the case history of a murderer of this class.
00:03:48A perfectly sane, valuable member of society.
00:03:53You'd better give him a fictitious name.
00:03:56You'd give them all fictitious names, all the characters in this case.
00:03:59He was a surgeon.
00:04:01We'd call him Mr. Joyce.
00:04:04Mr. Michael Joyce.
00:04:07He was well thought of in the medical profession and had a house of his own in Harley Street.
00:04:11His marriage had been an unhappy one, and he'd lived apart from his wife for several years.
00:04:17Consequently, he threw all his energy and interest into his work.
00:04:21As a brain specialist, he operated in three London hospitals
00:04:24and had developed a technique which considerably reduced the mortality rate in this field.
00:04:29He was reserved in his personal relationships and had no close friends.
00:04:34His only relaxation was to sit at home and play the piano or go to an occasional concert.
00:04:40Otherwise, it was a life devoted solely to work,
00:04:43a life that by normal standards was unutterably lonely and empty.
00:04:47But he never recognised this himself until he met a woman called Emma Wright.
00:04:52When she first came into his consulting room, he hardly even noticed her.
00:04:56She was just an ordinary middle-class woman who happened to have a daughter who was going blind.
00:05:01Sit down, Mr. Wright.
00:05:03There I am. Let's have a look at this head of yours.
00:05:07I gather it was an emergency operation after an air raid.
00:05:10Yes.
00:05:11Now the eyesight's affected.
00:05:13The eye especially said there was nothing he could do.
00:05:16Can you see well enough to read?
00:05:18Not really.
00:05:19I have the eye specialist report.
00:05:23Early optic atrophy.
00:05:26This is a fairly serious condition, Mrs. Wright.
00:05:28The thing for us to do is to take her into hospital,
00:05:31make a thorough investigation so as to establish the exact cause.
00:05:34You wouldn't mind that, Anne, would you?
00:05:37Would you?
00:05:38Will it hurt?
00:05:38No.
00:05:39We'll take good care of you.
00:05:41You want her to go in right away?
00:05:42I think she should.
00:05:44Anne, come over here.
00:05:47Sit down.
00:05:49We don't want the atrophy to become too far advanced.
00:05:53Anne, I'm just going to look into your eyes.
00:05:55You see those two figures on the mantelpiece?
00:05:56Keep your eye on them.
00:05:58My face will get in between, but don't look at me.
00:06:02The personality of the child's mother remained for the time being a matter of no great importance.
00:06:07But after the child had been submitted to a series of tests,
00:06:11and x-rays had proved that her trouble was due to a small foreign body lodged anteriorly to the optic
00:06:15chiasma,
00:06:16it became obvious that a fairly serious operation was necessary,
00:06:19and the relationship between these two became inevitably less remote.
00:06:25Will it be very dangerous, the operation?
00:06:28To her life?
00:06:29There's always a risk with a major operation.
00:06:31How great a risk?
00:06:34The mortality rate with this operation is 1%.
00:06:37And if you don't operate?
00:06:40She'd go blind.
00:06:45Oh, if only my husband were here, he'd know what to do.
00:06:48I'd hate to go ahead without him.
00:06:49We might consider putting it off for a short time, if he's coming home soon.
00:06:53Not for several months, I'm afraid.
00:06:55In that case, I shouldn't advise it.
00:06:57Every week that we let it go, it gets progressively worse.
00:07:00I know.
00:07:02I know you're right, but...
00:07:04You don't think she...
00:07:07I mean, she couldn't be among the 1%.
00:07:09In my mind, there's no question at all.
00:07:12I've met this problem before on many occasions,
00:07:14always with complete success.
00:07:16I wish you felt you could trust me.
00:07:18It isn't that.
00:07:21I'll do what you say.
00:07:23Well, I suggest we leave Anne here at the hospital.
00:07:26She's comfortable.
00:07:28Then I'll operate as soon as it can be arranged.
00:07:31All right?
00:07:31All right.
00:07:33There's nothing to it, Anne.
00:07:35We give you something nice to make you go to sleep,
00:07:37and when you wake up again, it's all over.
00:07:40Then you'll be able to see properly again.
00:07:42Oh, Mummy, they want to cut my hair off.
00:07:44But, darling, it'll grow again.
00:07:46Oh, must I stay here, Mummy?
00:07:47Mr. Joyce will take great care of you.
00:07:49Oh, don't go.
00:07:50Please, Mummy.
00:07:51How would you like your mother to stay with you
00:07:53till you go to sleep?
00:07:54Can't you stay with me until I wake up again?
00:07:56She can stay with you all the time, if she likes.
00:07:58Oh, yes, please, Mummy.
00:08:01He says you can.
00:08:02All right, darling, I'll stay.
00:08:05I'll see you later, Anne.
00:08:06I won't be a minute.
00:08:35I'll see you later.
00:08:50I'll see you later.
00:09:13I'll see you later.
00:09:51For all his air of quiet confidence,
00:09:53the surgeon who is about to operate
00:09:55is often as nervous as a prima donna.
00:09:58This was exaggerated in the present case
00:10:00by the feverish devotion of the child's mother,
00:10:02which had conveyed itself to Michael Joyce
00:10:04and robbed him of that cold detachment
00:10:07which is the doctor's great strength.
00:10:10never before had he been so acutely aware
00:10:12of the identity of the piece of human material
00:10:14he was working on
00:10:16as he took the scalpel and made the first incision
00:10:19and as the sister handed him the artery forceps.
00:10:22the man who was going to be so fast.
00:10:27The man who was going to be so close
00:10:47and he was going to be so close
00:10:47and I'm going to go to the next one.
00:11:04there were no complications at all child took the anesthetic easily and the foreign body was
00:11:10located and successfully removed the chief sufferer of course was the wretched woman who had been pacing
00:11:21up and down the waiting room for two hours she broke down as soon as Michael Joyce came in and
00:11:26made his report and only pulled herself together when she remembered rather guiltily the promise
00:11:31she'd made to and to stay with her throughout the operation she was anxious to get back to her
00:11:36before she came out of the anesthetic there was another woman in the room with her whom she
00:11:42introduced as her sister-in-law a mrs. Catherine Howard a rather overdressed young lady who seemed
00:11:48to have very little interest in Anne's welfare they had to wait some weeks to find out whether
00:11:53the operation had actually succeeded in saving Anne's eyesight meanwhile they shared the daily
00:11:59uncertainties and anxieties Emma Wright depended more and more on the feeling of confidence which
00:12:05he gave her when it became obvious that Anne was on her way to recovery she was tremendously grateful
00:12:10to him a feeling which Michael Joyce did not mistake but he knew that his own interest in her was
00:12:16greater
00:12:17than it should be without admitting it to himself he began to dread the day when the job would be
00:12:22completed the day of the final examination after which Anne and her mother were to return to their
00:12:28home in the country Anne and I went to pictures last night the first time for over a year it
00:12:33was all
00:12:33colored well I don't suppose we shall see you again I hope you will I hope so too not professionally
00:12:45of
00:12:45course the sun's come out mommy we'll go to the park shall we goodbye are you really going to the
00:12:52park yes why
00:12:54do you mind if I go with you of course not but oughtn't you to tell someone you're going in
00:13:02I'll tell them when I get back then there can be no mistake about it he should have said goodbye
00:13:08when
00:13:08their relationship came to its natural conclusion but he couldn't bring himself to she represented all
00:13:14the things that were so painfully lacking from her life devoted to textbooks and operating theatres
00:13:19she was so simple and unaffected she told him about Philip her husband how his work as a geologist
00:13:27had kept them apart for years at a time and now he was going to give it up so that
00:13:31they could be
00:13:32together she told him how they'd hoped for more children having only one she'd become all the more
00:13:37nervous and possessive about Anne they went on seeing each other and found they had the same tastes
00:13:45they both liked music fell into the habit of going to concerts together sometimes she'd come and play the
00:13:52piano at his house
00:14:35I feel awfully guilty making you drive out all this way it's all right I really should have stayed in
00:14:39town
00:14:39only I hate leaving Anne alone at night I'm relying on you to show me the way I don't know
00:14:44this part
00:14:44of the country oh I know the road good wait a minute and we lost oh it's all right that's
00:14:53our
00:14:53chapel your chapel yes you can see it from my bedroom window draw up when we come to it I
00:14:58must show it
00:14:58you all right there used to be great ructions in the family about it
00:15:16when the wind's in our direction you can hear them singing I rather like it the sound drifts across
00:15:21and I don't know it's rather peaceful some people hate it Kate was always trying to get Philip to sell
00:15:29the house that was before she was married of course then after she came back here after her husband was
00:15:33killed she started all over again she says clay always plays out of tune who's clay our gardener
00:15:39he plays the organ here Kate thinks we ought to get rid of him because of it why does it
00:15:43affect his
00:15:43gardening oh no it's just that Kate thinks that if he hadn't a job he might go and live in
00:15:48another
00:15:48district and then there wouldn't be anyone to play the organ who's Kate my sister-in-law you met her
00:15:53one day at the hospital did I don't you even remember the people you meet I remember the important ones
00:16:01the ones I want to remember that's our house up there there's something I've been wanting to ask you
00:16:13yes it's just are you divorced no Donna doesn't want to divorce
00:16:23why do you ask oh no reason I just wondered we ought to be going it must be late
00:16:40when Emma came up to London for the day she made a habit of calling in at Michael's house in
00:16:45Harley Street
00:16:45after the day shopping and often they'd have dinner together afterwards
00:16:58hello hello sorry I had to keep you waiting I got messed up with my appointments this afternoon
00:17:03it doesn't matter come and listen it's a record Anne's made it almost sounds as though she were a real
00:17:10pianist I'm trying to think what this is madam will you walk oh yes it's good is that really Anne
00:17:25that was a mistake she always goes wrong there but we're going to have another one made without
00:17:29any mistakes she can play it really this is where she goes wrong
00:17:47she used to play very well after the accident of course she had to play from memory
00:17:53I made her go on practicing Emma do you love your husband
00:18:02well do you I don't know how to answer that question but you know why I asked
00:18:10well Michael I don't know what to say Philip and I have been together for so long
00:18:16I love you Emma
00:18:19you shouldn't have told me
00:18:22if we kept quiet about it we might have gone on seeing each other
00:18:27I suppose not I wanted you to know
00:18:32I did know Michael
00:18:39I've tried not to recognize it
00:18:41I tried to tell myself that something would happen to make it all right
00:18:44I knew nothing could it can never be all right
00:18:48neither of us is free or ever likely to be
00:18:51there's nothing we can do about it

00:19:00I'll miss you
00:19:03oh Michael so shall I
00:19:06dreadfully
00:19:32it became more and more difficult for them to end their association
00:19:35neither was happy about it
00:19:38Emma's husband was giving up the work he liked so as to be with her
00:19:42and she was torn between her loyalty towards him
00:19:44and her love for Michael Joyce
00:19:48finally she decided to write to her husband
00:19:50and explain what had happened
00:19:52and to ask him to release her
00:20:03I can't send it can I
00:20:05no you can't

00:28:37There.
00:28:39Oh, dear, I might have known she'd turn up.
00:28:41Oh, darling, I'm so glad you were able to come.
00:28:46These are the ones we ought to avoid.
00:28:48All right, what's wrong with them?
00:28:49After Jenny Deaver's last party, Judy Hammond went blind.
00:28:52Permanently?
00:28:53No, she's over there somewhere.
00:28:55Well, there's Kate Howard, and on the day of the inquest,
00:28:58would she do it?
00:28:59Put the stamp on me somewhere, will you?
00:29:01Yes.
00:29:08Excuse me.
00:29:10You're being very unsociable.
00:29:12There's someone here I know you'll adore.
00:29:14She's longing to meet you.
00:29:15Sylvia, darling, you don't know Peter, do you?
00:29:17I'm dying to meet you.
00:29:18Got a drink?
00:29:19Good.
00:29:20What on earth is that waiter doing?
00:29:25Is your name really Sylvia?
00:29:26What's wrong with Sylvia?
00:29:28Nothing at all.
00:29:29Only mine isn't Peter.
00:29:30Excuse me, I must take this drink to some.
00:29:32I just love that hair.
00:29:34Hello.
00:29:35Hello.
00:29:35That's the new Wimper.
00:29:36Why, hello, Doctor.
00:29:37I never expected to find you at a cocktail party.
00:29:39I hardly expected to find myself at one.
00:29:41Have you been here long?
00:29:42No, I've only just arrived.
00:29:43You're looking very well.
00:29:44Oh, I'm an absolute dread.
00:29:45I've been having the most awful time.
00:29:46I expect you read about it.
00:29:48My sister-in-law, Emma Wright, you know, she fell out of a window and got killed.
00:29:51Yes, I did hear about it.
00:29:52I've just come straight from the inquest.
00:29:54I wonder if I dare try one of these.
00:29:56I shall not think what's in it.
00:29:57Catherine, you've wanted.
00:29:58Oh, of course she didn't.
00:30:00Is one of them all.
00:30:03You saved my life.
00:30:04I think you ought to keep moving if you don't want her to catch you again.
00:30:08Kate, my dear, you must give me the lowdown.
00:30:11My husband's...
00:30:12It's all been hushed up.
00:30:14Come in the corner in the quiet.
00:30:15I can't bear it.
00:30:16I can't, never.
00:30:17Haven't you got to telephone your mother?
00:30:18My mother?
00:30:20Oh, oh, yes.
00:30:21I've got to phone my mother.
00:30:22See you later, dear.
00:30:23Excuse me.
00:30:28Kate, my dear, you're not going.
00:30:30Darling, I must have too gruesome.
00:30:32You're staying here for dinner.
00:30:34Well, don't rely on me.
00:30:35Oh, quick, there's that awful woman.
00:30:37See you later.
00:30:37You're a menace.
00:30:39Catherine.
00:30:40Darling, you haven't got a drink.
00:30:41No.
