Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, pioneered work involving the unconscious mind.   He recognized the connection between dreams, art, mythology and spirituality over the course of human history.  

One of Jung’s most intriguing discoveries was the “collective unconscious” which is the part of the unconscious mind in all of us, shared by all humanity.  The symbols and archetypes stimulated by this part of the psyche are the product of ancestral experience and are found not only in dream imagery but in mythology and religion throughout the ages. The collective unconscious is also known as "a reservoir of the experiences of our species."   The idea being that we are all connected at this subconscious level and that we are not born with a completely blank slate in our minds but with a blueprint of sorts.

My mother told me the story of a young boy from India who'd been discovered by leaders of a religious group.  They found him as a child and recognized something great, an aura unlike any other, and so he was groomed to be their future leader, their world teacher, or as some might say: their 'chosen one'.  He joined their order and followed their teachings but eventually turned his back on them when he came of age.  He spent his life as a world teacher and brought great wisdom to the world but not in the way his mentors had imagined. 

This story always resonated with me and so, loosely, the story of Krishnamurti was an inspiration for the character of Kalesh.
