To John Perceval, son of a Prime Minister of England, who, in 1830, was immured in a mental hospital by his family, the distinction between physical illness and mental illness, the treatment of bodies and the cure of souls, was equally clear ... 

John Perceval, whose views on mental illness were cited earlier, was a contemporary of John Conolly s. Being a layman who experienced confinement in several private mental institutions at first hand, his observations on commitment deserve attention. 

I will be bound to say [wrote Perceval in 1830] that the greatest part of the violence that occurs in lunatic asylums is to be attributed to the conduct of those who are dealing with the disease, not to the disease itself and that the behavior which is usually pointed out by the doctor to the visitors as the symptoms of the complaint for which the patient is confined, is generally more or less reasonable, and certainly a natural result, of that confinement, and its particular refinements in cruelty for all have their select and exquisite moral and mental, if not bodily tortures. ... 

Perceval is thus quite clear that, in the mental hospital, doctor and patient are locked in a struggle for power, the doctor being cast in the role of oppressor, the patient in that of victim. He is equally clear, moreover—and in this respect, too, modern psychiatry has yet to catch up with him—on the role of the mental patient s relatives it is they who empower the physician to control and restrain the patient. 

But when the lunatic doctors say that the presence of friends is hurtful to lunatic patients [Perceval observes], they are not aware of the fact—at any rate they do not acknowledge it—that the violent emotions and disturbance of spirit, which takes place on their sudden meeting with them MAY arise from their being overcome by a sense of their relations conduct toward them, in neglecting... 

Perceval also calls attention to some parallels between the Inquisition and Institutional Psychiatry. To be sure, Perceval s analogy is not Zilboorg s, but its mirror image. It is not that witches and mental patients are alike on the contrary, it is because inquisitors and psychiatrists are alike that they treat their victims similarly, Where, asks Perceval, is the boast of the Protestant religion—where is liberty of conscience, if the lunatic doctor is allowed to be supreme judge over his patients in these matters, when lunatic asylums supply the place of the Inquisition, and in a form so dreadful ...

We see him as St George killing the green dragon and as Perceval in the Arthurian romances. His color is royal lilac or purple. He is the manifestation of the Philosophers Stone whose mark is interchangeably the Phoenix, eagle or Tau-cross hammer. 

In the next chapter, we look at the stories of the Holy Grail, in particular the Didcot Perceval manuscript of about 1200CE, which is now in the French National Library. The anonymous author claims it is the story of a monk called Blayse, the most authentic source of all the Grail stories.In this story, Merlin asks Perceval the big question ... 

The Didcot Perceval is one of the most authentic romances of the Holy Grail. Its name originates from an early owner of the manuscript called Didcot. In the romance, Perceval s famous make or break question is ... 

Chapter 19 showed the question-name What is it stands for the Philosophers Stone, sacred manna or dew. Perceval s unusual question makes little sense without one of these substitutions. The question then becomes a strong statement of the Grail s existence. It has supplied manna throughout history and still does ... 

The pursuit of the Holy Grail by Perceval or Kay Khosraw has more dimensions than solely an alchemical pursuit of the Philosophers Stone. As we saw in Chapter 20, the use of the Stone demands a pure heart. We recall that Samuel Bamch said ...

With regard the recent concept of physical-chemical mechanics of disperse systems, where clayey minerals belong, there are three types of contacts between disperse particles coagulation, transient (dot) and phase contacts (Fig. 1) [Rehbinder, 1958, 1966 Shtukin, Percev, Amelina, 1982 Qminskii vt up., 1982 Osipov, Sokolov, 1974 Osipov, 1979 Osipov, 2012]. Each one of the above type of contacts is typical with a certain mechanism of formation, nature of forces, acting in the zone of contact and specific characteristics of transiting of effective stresses [Osipov, 2012].
