Here, in the world of the theatre, he was constantly brought face to face with the realities of human behaviour. These reflected lessons learned from his life in the bush. For in this world of make-believe, the outer beauty of a performance only masked an underlying harshness.

In this world, as Théun learned about the complications and permutations of human behaviour, he became more and more familiar with the myriad different ways in which men and women deprive themselves of happiness by living out an act throughout their lives, rather than being true to themselves and following their hearts.

Théun then left the world of the performing arts. Determined to do his part in uplifting others he entered the education system, firstly as a teacher, and then as a subject advisor for the Government. Here he learned a lot more about the causes of human behaviour, as well as ways of making people aware of their behaviour and how to empower them to change it. His experience with schools brought him face-to-face with the early stages of social conditioning and the sad truth that most schooling is not designed to teach people how to think for themselves, but rather to force pupils into predetermined moulds. As a result of his experiences in education, helping people to break free from their social conditioning forms the cornerstone of much of Théun's current work.

In 1977, Théun started to remember details of his training as a Toltec Warrior in previous lifetimes, and, as his memory of all his training was restored, he began to prepare for his work as a nagal (pronounced nah-hal). A nagal is traditionally a leader of a Toltec unit of warriors, and part of a nagal's duties involve leading his unit to freedom. Because of this, a nagal's work is normally never in the public eye.

However, although he prefers not to be in the public eye, times have changed and Théun's role now requires a higher profile in re-introducing the Toltec teachings to the world.
