The Birth of Delusions and the Core Delusion

The highest value among Aphorism 153 symptoms is accorded to delusions (see Chap. 9,
Hahnemann Revisited ) . According to Carl Jung, delusions or fixed ideas are created by
unresolved, long-lasting, painful events. Delusions always contain a kernel of truth. In the case of
males, delusions often have to do with performance, work, achievements, and standing in society.
In women, delusions are most often linked to affairs of the heart: loss of love, perceived or real;
unrequited love; deception; betrayal, etc. For example, the woman is usually the one who tells her
husband, "You forgot my birthday today," not a very important event for him, and one he is likely
to forget. Many of our delusions stem from unrealistic and exaggerated expectations. Delusions are
created by aiming for things that are out of our reach, by underestimating difficulties, by having
unjustified optimism, or by being overly anxious, jealous, greedy, egotistical, etc.
Object 1

Among all the patients presenting delusions, however, there is one that started the whole process:
the core delusion (CD): what Jung also called, the primal, archaic, or original delusion. The CD is
the source of all subsequent delusions or fixed ideas, which are created along the road because the
patient received inadequate support or therapy. The CD is the center point or nucleus, the
beginning of the story of our patient--and it indicates the remedy he needs! Therefore, discovering
the CD will be an important step, not only in formulating and understanding the crux of the
patients suffering, but also in finding the similar remedy that will free him from the chains of his
central, fixed idea. In addition, the CD will be the homeopaths tool when differentiating between
two or three remedies at the end of the consultation. The correct interpretation of the CD must
match the secondary delusions and their compensations through provings of the remedy, the only
standard we apply in homeopathy to separate truth from fiction. (I typically refer to the provings of
Hahnemann, Hering, and T. F. Allen.) When looking at the totality of symptoms, the CD cannot be
taken out of the context (see Aphorisms 5 and 7). The CD expresses the most important
characteristic of the patients totality. This has prompted me to formulate another definition of the
CD. The CD is the emotional or spiritual center, surrounded by a cluster of images or ideas which
are the patients compensations.
How shall we further define the CD? How can we identify it?
The CD is the expression of the dominant, ruling emotion . It will be the driving force behind the
actions, thoughts, and plans of the patient, creating, along the way, secondary delusions. For
example, Lachesis has the CD that he is injured by his surroundings; that he is wronged . When
this situation is persistent (as it is by definition in the case of a delusion), it will lead inevitably to
secondary delusions such as: he will be sent to an asylum and his medicine is poison . These are
expressions of a paranoid delusional state, proof of further evolving pathology often ending in
schizophrenia. Thus, all compensations and secondary delusions have their origin in the CD. For
example, a patient needing Lachesis might be loquacious, have religious fixations, meditate, and
have increased sexual activity. It is imperative for everyone (as we all have a CD) to effect
compensations, which can be regarded as defense mechanisms aimed at fleeing from a negative CD
or reinforcing a positive CD. The patient may create lots of compensations to avoid his fate, yet
ultimately, he will have to face this CD at some point in his life. Even a "good" delusion such as,
humility of others while he is great ( Platina, Staphysagria ) , is obviously bad for the person as it
reflects a delusion of grandeur and impedes self-growth. If "positive" psoric compensations persist,
over time their intensity will grow excessive (sycosis) and ultimately become destructive (syphilitic
or luetic) to others and the self.
The Five Whys: Confirming the Core Delusion
We must try to answer the question: How do we find the expression or compensation closest to the
CD or better still, one that directly expresses the CD? How do we avoid prescribing based on
compensations (Persona or mask) far removed from the CD? Once we have found, or think we have

found, the CD or a compensation close to the CD, it is important to make sure that it is the basic or
primary delusion by asking one more WHY , if at all possible.
At a conference, one of my students heard the speaker suggesting that in any behavioral situation
one should ask oneself "why" five times, each time working from the previous answer. By the fifth
"why," a hint of the emotional state of affairs that underlies the feeling or situation will become
evident. While it might be arbitrary to ask "why" five times, at least by concentrating on five, the
homeopath will not stop questioning too early when assessing his patient. If the patient decided to
go back to an ex-boyfriend, for example, this might at first sound like reconciliation, a positive step,
which would not be taken into account in finding the simillimum. Upon further questioning,
however, the homeopath finds out that the patient did not return because she thought breaking up
was a mistake or because she still loved the old boyfriend; instead, the homeopath finds that the
patient wants to go back because she felt lonely and craves attention (possibly indicating the
remedy Pulsatilla ) . Or maybe the motivation was to exact revenge: to make up simply in order to
break up the relationship herself, to "have the last word," so to speak (a classic response in the case
of Aurum ) . Or suppose someone wants to go to graduate school, not because he wants to get ahead
in life through education but simply to earn the respect and love of his family, which he so much
desires. Here, after one more "why," the delusion, I am not loved , may become the delusion, I am
worthless , and thus transform itself into the delusion, I never succeed in anything ( Aurum
muriaticum natronatum, Argentum nitricum, Anacardium, Baryta carbonica ) . If the answer to the
next "why" is: "Because everyone criticizes me," then we have the delusion criticized , which is a
fixed idea that is not at all typical of the above-mentioned remedies. If you then asked the question,
"How do you feel about this?" in order to elicit the ruling emotion and thus the CD, the patient
might answer, "I feel like a cripple and cannot make any decisions." This statement can be
translated into the delusions : he walks on his knees; his legs are cut off . And that answer would
confirm a prescription of Baryta carbonica . If, at this point, no further "why" can be asked, we can
safely assume that we have arrived at the patients CD, one belonging to Baryta carbonica .
Although this person thinks getting a degree will be the road to self worth, he does not know that he
has simply relegated his delusion that he is not loved to the unconscious where it awaits its next
opportunity to return.
If we dont ask a sufficient number of "whys," the patient will show us compensations far
removed from the CD. We will then be prescribing for the mask rather than the shadow side--the
mask formed by all these compensations. This will lead to the selection of a simile, for:
The mask is the simile; the shadow side is the simillimum!
An

ancient

Chinese

proverb

expresses

the

same:

Confucius says: To return to the root (CD!) is to find the meaning, but to pursue appearance
(compensations!) is to miss the source!
Take for example a patient who says to the homeopath, "I am worthless." On first consideration,
this is an Aphorism 153 symptom and can be used to find the simillimum. At this point, the
homeopath might consider remedies like Anacardium , Aurum , Lac caninum , and Thuja . In fact,
however, we need to ask "Why do you feel this way?" in order to find an Aphorism 153 symptom
that more closely describes the shadow side or CD. That will help us make a differential diagnosis
among the previously mentioned remedies. The patient might answer, "Because I do everything
wrong" (delusions: he does everything wrong; he can not succeed --see Anacardium, Argentum
nitricum, Aurum, Baryta carbonica ). If we stop here, it appears that Aurum and Anacardium are in
the running, being present in both rubrics. On the next "why" the patient might reply, "Because I
am confused, since there are two opposite forces at work, and I cant make up my mind. Sometimes

I get into trouble because of my decisions. It is as if there are two persons in me with two different
opinions. One voice seems to tell me to do my business fast, even in a dishonest way, since it will
bring me more profit. At the same time, the other voice, I guess my conscience, tells me to be
honest and serve people rather than taking advantage of them. And I never really know who is
going to win: my conscience or the dishonest voice."
Finally we have come to the CD--the crux of this patients suffering. He suffers from the delusion
that a devil is speaking in one ear prompting to murder, and an angel in the other ear, prompting to
acts of benevolence . This symptom belongs to Anacardium and is often caused by ailments from
domination during childhood.
To show Jungs influence in our homeopathic practice, I put Lachesis story as it is expressed
according to our best provings (Herings Guiding Symptoms).
Under-prescribed in the practice
Lachesis , a polychrest, is one of the most under-prescribed remedies. How can that be? Because of
its resemblance to other remedies like Phos, Sulph, Staph and of course its twin brother, Lyc (the
acute of Lachesis ). When Lach lacks some very characteristic physical symptoms (esp. on the
cardiovascular plane, throat problems, the intolerance of constrictive clothing, and relief of
symptoms through discharges), it is difficult to recognize on the mental/emotional plane.
Essence and CD
The essence of Lachesis is the caveat or warning about an unlived life or as the late Edward C.
Whitmont called it in his book Psyche and Substance , "the penalty of unlived life." (E. Whitmont,
1991, p. 151). This should warn us immediately about the possibility of such a situation causing
cancer: the Carcinosin state reflects precisely the same theme: letting others live her life, having
no boundaries to prevent this. The appearance of cancer is the last warning to finally start living
your own life. In the case of Lachesis , we are not surprised to see cancer appearing in the ovaries
and sexual organs as they are the center of repressed libido and sexual urges. Besides physical
pathology, the penalty of the unlived life is often a series of neurosis, embitterment and mental
decay. With the presence in Lachesis of an over-stimulation on every plane, which requires an
outlet, we should not be surprised to find restlessness, anticipation anxiety , and hypersensitivity
(offended easily; sensitive to criticism in its primary phase. Often it is followed by secondary
melancholy and depression . Lachesis seems to be unable to cultivate peace in the garden of his
heart by removing the weeds of egotism and jealousy. Not surprisingly, peace is not manifested
externally neither.
What is Lachesis core delusion? She is about to receive an injury from her surroundings and she
is being injured and wronged. As a result, we find suspicion (full of mistrust) , and the trio of
symptoms (anticipation anxiety, restlessness, and melancholy) mentioned above. Another delusion
expressing the same thought as the CD is, del., he is persecuted, he is pursued by enemies and he
has been poisoned. In the provings it says word for word, "imagines he is followed by enemies who
are trying to harm him, and there are robbers in the house and he wants to jump out of the
window." The latter delusions often come after the primary delusion has been allowed to run its
course and thus will be part of an advanced mental-emotional pathology, making Lachesis one of
the most frequently needed remedies for all kinds of schizophrenia.
When it comes to Jungs conscious types, Lachesis is most frequently the extraverted, thinking,
intuitive type. According to the circumstances and under the influence of triggers (especially from
ailments from disappointed love), this extravert can easily become introverted as she can switch
from loquacity to being taciturn. Now we are getting ahead of our story, as Lachesis has enough
positive tools to try to protect herself, at least initially, from this core delusion. The question is, are

these tools or compensations psoric or mainly sycotic? First, lets answer one question: how did
Lachesis end up in this tormented situation in the first place?
Lachesis Ailments From (A/F)
There is no doubt that ailments from grief and disappointed love play a big role in the pathology of
Lachesis (chronic complaints after long lasting grief or sorrow) . Lachesis IS a superior, thinking
human being, as are Aurum, Carcinosin, Sulphur, China, and Lycopodium , but of course her
reactions to grief are essentially different from those of other remedies. The above-mentioned,
superior remedies also have a big ego and great ambition, along with plenty of delusions of
grandeur, but Lachesis is a very passionate person who gets vexed about competition with other
women, whether in love matters or professionally. This jealousy gets worse on approaching
menopause (confirming Lachesis amelioration through discharges). This is a very dangerous time
period if the Lachesis layer has not been corrected. Lachesis , belonging in TCM to the Fire/Heart
element, cannot live without passion and demands a form of loyalty from her partner that often
borders on foolishness. Anger is never far away where grief and disappointed love occur. The
Lachesis person will find examples among friends who are spoiled by their husbands ("he cut my
nails for me;" "he always says, can I do something else for you", etc.), and use those as markers to
determine how much she is loved and cared for by her own husband ( delusions of reference
according to Jung- Foot note )."
We see the intensity of Lachesis in the emotions: there is no middle ground, only the high road, like
an Olympic flame that burns with desire forever! Indeed, the flames of this fire need very little
impetus to get out of hand and, driven by foolish and irresistible jealousy they can lead to hysteria
and compulsion and thus to all kinds of unexpected, impetuous actions which, to her mind, are
totally justified. Lachesis is often an example of a person who is partially overcome by her
unconscious. The condition at first can be temporary when it is a matter of emotional upset. In such
state of violent emotion (foolish jealousy), she says or does things out of proportion, things she
regrets afterwards when reason is somewhat restored. Even the most normal individual is not proof
against this danger but Lachesis can bring this outburst to unsuspected heights. And not much is
needed: disappointed love, grief, jealousy, or hatred for her rivals is often strong enough to reverse
the relation between the ego losing control and the unconsciousness, temporarily gaining the upper
hand. Lachesis is a well-spoken lawyer at heart: you cannot win an argument with a Lachesis !
To everyone else, she is suffocating (as a boa constrictor can) and appears utterly ridiculous since
there is often no real basis for this jealousy, except in her imagination.
-------------------------------------------------------------------Footnote: It is interesting that Hyoscyamus and Lachesis , two of the most jealous characters, have
many delusions of reference . Jealousy is a great cause of delusions for these two remedies. When
they are driven by it, any small circumstance, gesture, or word can produce the grossest
misjudgment. Under suitable conditions, these characters will "jump out of their skin" and
temporarily imitate the insane. Often Lachesis or Hyoscyamus will jump to the conclusion, during
their first moment of anger, that they have been deliberately injured or insulted, ( del, has suffered
wrong; del, is injured by his environment). The danger is of course that Hyosc and Lach transgress
the danger line from neurosis to psychosis and many cases can be found in the homeopathic history
under these two remedies of frank insanity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------A perfect example of such foolish jealousy is as follows:
"I am constantly accusing my boyfriend of looking at other women and thinking of other women
while we make love. Recently I gave my boyfriend a gift certificate for a massage, but I wanted to
be in the room, watching everything that happened. When I found out we could not be in the same

room, I cancelled the appointment. After hearing him complain about his bad back, I rescheduled
the massage. Then after the massage, I yelled at him for having some other womans hands all over
him. I am thinking of leaving him because he has been tainted by someone else." (This is example
drawn from The New Mexican , Annies Mailbox Aug 30, 2005).
Of course counseling was the advice given to the person who wrote in to that newspaper column.
Indeed, allopathy does not have one single drug to allay jealousy whereas homeopathy has at least
50!
Lachesis compensations
How to compensate for all these events (grief, disappointed love, anger and horrible things affect
her greatly) leading to her core delusion? As a reaction/compensation and also as part of the origin
of her core delusion, Lachesis possesses a strong ego . In haughtiness and pride, she is not much
behind Platina and Lyc , the most outspokenly arrogant people. Interesting also that the triggers of
the latter two remedies are vexation, mortification, and disappointment, something they have in
common with Lach , though their reaction to this assault on their ego is quite different. Platina ,
depending in what stage she is in, eventually chooses one of her extreme outlets (sex, religion) and
pursues her path in that way. Lycopodium often maintains his quest for power, attempting to remain
at the top of the social ladder through defiance, cynicism, hard work ( del, neglects his duty), and
false arrogance as he exhibits an almost dictatorial behavior (dictatorial, speaks with a voice of
command) with want of amativeness in men (3). Lachesis and Lycopodium are both thinking
remedies, but Lachesis belongs more to women. A Lachesis wants to be successful above all in
relationships and her careerin that order. Lycopodium , more often a man, sees success as being at
the apex of his career just like Nux -v and Sulphur . [ Lachesis places the greatest importance on her
career only by default, i.e., when she is frustrated sexually and her husband cannot match her
intensity of possessive love. So for Lachesis it is more a perception than reality of not being loved
but her jealousy makes it incapable to maintain her mask in the relationship.
Thus, the delusions of these remedies will take different forms. Lachesis , belonging to the Fire
element, is prone to more hysterical heart-love delusions, expressions of the strong anima, the
snake being a symbol of the human anima, e.g., del, she is beautiful and del, she is going to have a
heart attack. Lycopodium , belonging to the Wood-Liver element, will have more delusions about
his place in society, his image, and his success at work--the animus or sword at work, e.g., del, he
neglected his duty; del, he is presumptuous; del, he is unfortunate; and core del , everything will
vanish .
Platina and Lycopodium end up being queen and false guru respectively (a real guru serves
people, does not insist on being served by others). Lachesis is a tormented soul in the sense that
she does not understand why her often foolish and out-of-control passion is not returned with an
equal show of love. Lachesis and Platina are both spiritual remedies and thus act and talk as
though they were under super human control[. Platina is a little harder, yes, even a little more
crude in her actions than Lachesis , who is much more easily influenced by being mesmerized:
thinks she is somebody else and in the hands of a stronger power; she acts like she is charmed and
she cannot break the spell. Thus, Lachesis will more likely be part of a cult or group rather than a
leader like Lyc and Platina .
To bolster her ego, Lachesis possesses something else that makes her superior to Platina and Lyc:
her loquacity! Lycopodium s speech is more dictatorial towards his inferiors (even abusive and
insulting towards subordinates, often with anger from any contradiction). This brings to mind Nuxv , who like Lyc , employs every possible means for his ambition ( also Platina!). At the same time,
Lycopodium s speaks differently in the presence of his boss: he is a flatterer because he knows he
needs to be on good terms with his boss in order to reach that coveted position of power. Platina s
loquacity can be equally abusive and insulting, especially a child toward its parents ( Lyc ). She can
be a braggart and boaster and squanders her money through ostentation (Verat-a). This is part of

her beauty which takes the form of an ice maiden rather than a warm sympathetic figure. In her
deeper pathology (luetic phase), Platina desires to be silent and is indisposed to talk.
Lachesis speaks in differing ways depending on her state of pathology. When in balance,
Lachesis is a witty and brilliant conversationalist. There is quick comprehension and mental
activity with almost prophetic perception. Lachesis stops you in the middle of your sentence as she
knows the rest already, even worse for you, she knows the question before you have asked it. His
ideas are abundant and no sooner does one idea occur to Lachesis than a number of others follow
in quick succession. She is active, lively, and vivacious. Usually her speech reflects all this: wants to
talk all of the time; inclination to be communicative; vivid imagination and extremely impatient at
tedious and dry things (they dont go well with her small talk!). She has the most extraordinary
loquacity, making speeches in very select phrases, but jumping off to the most heterogenous
subjects. One word leads into the midst of another story. This exceptional loquacity is marked by a
rapid change of subject; she jumps abruptly from one idea to another ( whereas Platina has a
wandering speech; repeats the same things ). Lachesis talks, sings, or whistles constantly. True
to her snake nature, her tongue will be used to hurt in a very refined but cynical and critical way.
They hurt you with a word while having a smile on the face. For Lachesis, talking is therapy that
soothes her core delusion.
This loquacity is of an imminently sycotic nature, indicating clearly to the homeopath that Lachesis
is a very sycotic remedy, rather than a psoric one--very different from Calc-c , a strong psoric
remedy, someone who likes to ramble about all the little things he suffers from, but never speaks
eloquently. (If he ever waxes loquatious, Calc-c always wants to mull things over before he
becomes a nuisance, talking about his little issues and ailments.) Any compensation of Lachesis
will be an exaggerated one with an intensity to it that matches the remedys sanguine nature. At
least initially for the more stable Lachesis , the loquacity is an outlet of a rather positive nature as
they can use it to be a good lawyer, politician, teacher, or preacher!
"Loquacity" also comes in letter or email form! If you as a homeopath always get a lengthy answer
to your follow-up questions, all about "small" complaints but very detailed and always urgent,
pleading, and self absorbed, you can call that loquacity! Their messages are blow by blow accounts
hurled at the homeopath (making you think of an Arsenicum personality) as [they are consumed
with anticipation anxiety and restlessness! An out-of-balance Lachesis really suffers from the del,
she is doomed, and in her panic reason goes quickly out of the door.
How else can Lachesis get away from her core delusion? In accordance with her haughty and proud
character ( Lachesis is a 2 here; Lycopodium and Platina are a 4), Lachesis believes she is in
contact with powerful people ( Del, is under powerful influence). Furthermore, she may be of the
opinion that she has a special relationship with God: religion becomes another outlet for this
tormented soul. She seeks safety by communicating with people in high positions, e.g., writing
letters to the President of the United States. This makes me think of Veratrum album who thinks he
should be received by the most famous people in order to advance his own social status. As usual,
we often see a religious compensation when the sexual outlet is either suppressed or impossible as
for example in puberty (Kali-br, Platina, Lil-t, Lyc, Verat-a). Lachesis religious compensation also
matches the intensity of the sexual outlet and is equally of sycotic (exaggerated) nature. There is
religious monomania and even fear of being damned. It is especially the female teenager who will
invoke religious compensation when sexuality awakens, if she has been brought up in a strict
religious milieu where the topic of sex is taboo. They might go into the streets to preach to people
about the end of the world ( Verat-a ). Male teenagers are more likely to engage in thrill-seeking
and dangerous behavior. As usual, the extreme can turn into its opposite: we can find rabid atheists
among Lachesis people, i.e., Lachesis patients are fanatical. Lachesis has always this compelling
quality in their beliefs: they are totally convinced and reject any dissenting opinion.
A positive compensation for Lachesis is the sexual outlet. If the sexual outlet is available, i.e., not
suppressed by family mores (there is a big difference between growing up in a 60s pot-smoking

environment and a strict religious family!), it also takes an extreme form. The male either becomes
a Don Juan (great excitement of sexual desire) or more commonly is so fixated on his partner that
he becomes as demanding sexually as a Lycopodium male, easily transforming his wife into a
Staphysagria or Sepia female. This quickly leads to the negative cycle: to foolish jealousy which
transforms this passionate person into a man who normally is in firm command of all his actions,
but now loses it at the slightest emotional event. Here again is a perfect example of the thinking
Lachesis who gets into trouble when the situation calls for the intervention of his inferior, more
primitive feeling side. This superior, thinking individual is now confronted with situations he
cannot handle and it manifests itself in very foolish behavior and all kinds of jealous reactions:
jealousy with rage; jealousy with saying and doing things he normally would not do; gentle
husband becoming brutal from jealousy. To dull those very painful feelings, Lachesis , once on this
negative pathway, does not shy away from alcohol which he can tolerate very well, even a
debauched life , which then fuels his jealousy and suspicion even more. We must not forget that
Lachesis is THE remedy for hereditary familial alcoholism!
The female Lachesis may look for love in all the wrong places (like Platina ), while taking it one
step further. She does not hesitate to become a prostitute with the nave conviction (remember the
feeling function IS primitive) that she will find love and romance in this environment. As
Lachesis state is worse from the cessation of flow or excretions (e.g., during menopause, which
often in her mind signals the end of her femininity), her sense of having to compete with younger
women can erupt into the open with the force of a volcano. If there is a younger rival, thoughts of
killing that person surface and even murder is not uncommon!
Turning to the negative pathway
The negative pathway leads immediately to fears (a negative sycotic reaction), a direct consequence
of the core delusion and of course one which fuels it immensely. Besides fear of being damned and
believing themselves doomed to be unable to escape their fate, they have immense fear of robbers,
of water, of going to sleep (since this always aggravates their condition); he fears he will die during
his sleep from a heart attack; anxiety about the heart; there is seldom refreshing sleep as their sleep
[is] restless with many dreams and frequent waking and dosing again ). There is another
component to their fear of sleep: during sleep, the unconscious escapes any control mechanism and
can exact its compensatory revenge in dreams. Other Lachesis fears are of people walking behind
her, of snakes, of suffocation (turtlenecks are not tolerated); fear of narrow places, elevators,
swimming under water, but especially fear of an incurable disease such as cancer; fear of the
cholera; cramps in calves from fear with nausea, and heavy feeling in the abdomen. In her covert,
fragile state, but long before she truly loses it, Lachesis starts fearing she is becoming insane .
Lachesis is a major remedy for cardiovascular diseases (strokes and heart attacks): she often
experiences constrictive pain, oppressive chest pain and palpitations with numbness in arm,
improved by sitting up. It is especially during those fits of jealousy that heart symptoms and fainting
will show up: After a jealous (hysterical) quarrel, she put both hands on her chest and cried out,
"Oh my heart!", then fell down and was in an asphyctic state for 24 hours; no pulse could be felt,
breathing hardly perceptible. If she is not sleepless from fear of heart attack, she is sleepless after
domestic calamity (relationship problems) , woken up by terrible dreams.
As we proceed further into the negative cycle, jealousy becomes ubiquitous. Jealousy (combining
egotism, lack of true love, and an expression of possessive love and suspicion) will affect the
thinking function of the Lachesis person as her inferior feeling function now becomes the
dominant function. The superior, thinking person has become an inferior, feeling person. Where
before she was witty with a great memory, now her mind is confusing and wandering; there is even
great dullness of mind with bodily weakness. She is even tempted to commit suicide as secondary
delusions take hold of her spirit. Everyone around her becomes suspect. Hyoscyamus has the
delusion that he is going to be sold , and that a lover is hiding behind the stove. Lachesis also feels
that she is going to be replaced by someone else, someone younger and more beautiful, of course.

Even kind gestures appear to her as threats. Her husband wants her to give a remedy for those
pulsating headaches but this leads immediately to the del, the medicine is poison (Hyosc) and he is
about to be poisoned. And if her husband does not poison her, he is probably scheming of sending
her off to the asylum. It is not difficult to see that Lachesis has been full circle at this point and
comes back to her core delusion. We also can see that the Lachesis person is at a great risk of
crossing over the danger line from neurosis (hysteria) to psychosis and schizophrenia (has two
wills) whenever additional problems arise. This leaves Lachesis in a state where she cannot cope
with reality any more: the normal balancing act of the conscious and unconscious lives is
interrupted; dangerous, uncontrolled elements of the unconscious, unexpected manifestations from
this darkness, crash into the conscious, overwhelming the ego. Schizophrenia is the result! In this
real psychosis, the unconscious elements could not be assimilated by consciousness. Whoever is
attacked by such fantasies and visions is either seized by an immense fear that he is going crazy or
he thinks he is a genius. I have seen both in Lachesis patients. But whatever road the patient was
forced on, he is at once isolated from his fellow beings, who are unable to understand him. The fact
of matter is that formerly unconscious contents are rising to the level of consciousness and disrupt
the hegemony of the ego. It is here that the homeopath can shine. Such patients need to feel
understanding and sympathy, and certainty that they can share their crazy ideas with someone. This
relieves them of the fear of falling into the dark gaping abyss. The homeopath does not close his
books when the patient says, "I am seeing ghosts or I am conversing with God." He will say:
"Describe me these visions and conversations," as they are some of the most peculiar A153
information he might receive from his patient.

The Seven Chakras of the Body

The word Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit. A Chakra is a spinning wheel of energy that is found
within each one of us. It is a spinning vortex of energy created within us by the interpenetration of
consciousness and the physical body. The Chakra system is a map of consciousness. It is a complete
system of seven spinning vortexes of energy. They enable us to manifest and act in the material
world, to bring abstracts into solidity. It is through the chakras that our expressions are directed.
Our Chakra system is comprised of 3 upper Chakras, which liberate and expand us. They govern
our inner pursuits and our inner worlds. They are a demonstration of our Spiritual Human.
The 4th Chakra is the connecting bridge between the lower and the upper bodies. It is the place
where the animal human and the divine/spiritual human meet. It is the pivoting point of our
physical and spiritual world.
The lower three Chakras represent our interaction with the material world. They demonstrate our
Animal Human.
There are 7 major Chakras and 122 minor Chakras. Our Chakras are linked to sounds, light, colors,
planets, crystals, the elements, and many other key essentials of the universe.
During our lives our Chakras may become blocked or too open or too closed, creating a stuckness
within that particular area. This results in our presenting behaviors and patterns, as well as our
physical ailments. Our Chakras control the patterns from which we live, how we live, and what we
present to the world. To heal these patterns is to bring our Chakras into total balance and
alignment. That is, to connect to our higher selves and to realize the oneness that is.
Our blockages may come from past mental traumas, physical traumas, and they may also have been
inherited from our ancestors. (Miasmatic)

Root Chakra
The first Chakra is the base or Root Chakra. The original Sanskrit name for this Chakra is
Muladhara. It is located at the base of the spine The Root Chakra contains our attitudes about life

that have been handed down from generation to generation. It is said to contain the primary 8 cells
that have all the knowledge of our creation. It carries our DNA of who and what we are. Here
you will find the only cells in your body that do not change within your lifetime. It is the Root
Chakra that grounds or Roots us in the physical world. It encompasses our stability, our
foundation, shelter, and our survival. When we see someone reacting and living from this Chakra,
with an excess of energy in this area, we may see someone who is very dictatorial and impatient.
Their concerns are very deeply rooted in the material world. Their worries cover areas such as
money, possessions, control, and perfectionism. We may also see the opposite due to an energy
block. We will see the individual exhibit a lack of energy, a lack of drive, lack of support, a general
under functioning (Psoric Miasm).
The Root Chakra is associated to the planet Earth (Grounding) and it corresponds to our sense of
smell, physical energy and vitality. Here also, say the yogis, sleeps the magic serpent known as the
kundalini. It lies coiled at the base of the spine and symbolizes the basic evolutionary life force.
Once awakened it will rise through the spine to the crown of the head and may trigger
enlightenment in the practitioner of these methods.
The Root Chakra is also connected to our fight or flight response. The basic physical components
energetically connected to the base Chakra aside from the Adrenal glands would include the colon,
the rectum, our legs, which physically ground us to this earth, the Lymph system, skeletal system
(teeth and bones), the bladder and eliminatory system, and our lower back, which gives us support.
For those who are familiar with Louise Hay, you will note that she associates the back with our
stability, whether it is financial, or emotional. It is due to the connection of the skeletal system that
this Chakra may also be linked to the Syphilitic miasm.
The Primary color associated with this Chakra is red. With each primary color we also find a
secondary color. The secondary color for the Root Chakra is green. When we are treating an
illness by using the energy of the colors, any imbalance can be treated, or corrected with its
opposite or secondary color. So if we see that there is an overabundance of red energy coming from
the Root Chakra we may use the color green to bring balance to the Chakra, and vice versa. You
may want to incorporate the use of the Color remedies into your practice. I have seen many great
results with these remedies.

HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR THE ROOT CHAKRA

You will notice here that the remedies that govern the Root or Base Chakra may be comprised of
our Minerals, the Kalis, and the earth remedies. We may also look to the use of the glandulars
such as Adrenaline, Adrenal cortex, and the Adrenal Whole gland, as it is the exhaustion of the
Adrenal gland that is very commonly seen in the individual who is ungrounded. This is mainly due
to the energy that is consumed by their many fears.
Steroids are also known to weaken the Base Chakra. Therefore our body builders, and many of our
athletes in todays world may show signs of a lack of energy in the Root Chakra. (Perhaps we can
add corticosteroid to the list of Root Chakra remedies)
Following are some of the remedies that are commonly found in those who have a lack of energy
within the Base.
Arsenicum Alb

Argentum Nitricum

Argentum Metallicum

Nux Vomica

Silica

Calcarea Carbonicum

Hypericum

Arnica

Aconite

Opium

Stramonium

Berlin Wall

Proteus

Symphytum

Tarantula

Psorinum

Bowel Nosodes

Lac Caninum

Lac Humanum

Hydrogen

Coffea

Chocolate

Granite

Red

Take note that remedies such as Stramonium, Aconite, Opium, and Hydrogen, deal with those that
have been shaken from their foundation. They have been up rooted by a trauma or some type of
fright.
Remedies such as the Berlin Wall and Proteus cover those that may feel that they have constantly
been living in a war zone. The constant strain on the adrenals may leave one in a constant state of

high alert.

Splenic chakra second chakra

The Second Chakra is known as the Sacral Chakra. (Splenic Chakra) The Sanskrit name is
Svadhisthana. The 2nd Chakra is found approximately 1 inch below the navel. This Chakra
controls our motion (movement) and our e-motions (movement of the emotions). It is associated
with the ovaries and testes. The Sacral Chakra represents a duality, a polarity, such as the pain
pleasure principle. (So again we see the strong ties between our emotions and our physical
ailments.) It represents magnetism, controlling patterns, and emotional feelings (joy, anger, fear).
The second Chakra is about friendliness, creativity, emotions and intuition on the gut level. Its
influenced by how emotions were expressed or repressed during childhood. It is the sexual center
for women.
It motivates all our behavior. The areas of the body that it relates to are the sexual organs, stomach,
upper intestines, liver, gallbladder, kidney, pancreas, spleen, and the middle spine. It is ruled by
the water element. When we deny our emotions, water is also retained within the physical body,
along with other toxins both emotionally and physically. Finding a healthy balance between control
and letting go is essential for the healthy functioning of this Chakra.
We constantly move (movement) our energy towards pleasurable things and away from things that
are disturbing to us. I believe we are taught this response at a very young age. We run from our
emotions. We run from unpleasant things. This is a much easier way of survival. We may see some
individuals go into states of complete emotional shut down, void and numb of many emotions.
The Sacral Chakra governs our sexual relationships, our feelings, and how we react to feeling
someone elses feelings and energies (clairsentient). In practice we may encounter many
individuals who present with a low or non-existent sex drive due to being completely closed off
emotionally. If you cannot feel emotionally you may not be capable of making the physical
connection.
Fear also originates from this Chakra, quite similar to that of the Base/Root Chakra. I believe we
see more fear geared toward our emotions within the Sacral Chakra, where the fear is more centered
on our survival with the Base/Root Chakra. Determining where our fear comes from helps us to
have greater insight as to where the imbalance can be found, but also helps to give us greater insight
into choosing the correct homeopathic remedy.
The Water element is associated with our emotions and the Sacral Chakra. Remember the fluidity,
the movement, the flow found within this Chakra. The moon and Venus are the planets associated
with this energy center. It not only controls our emotions but also our fertility, our cycles, and the
urinary track. Think of the many cycles that are connected to the moon such as the tides, and the
seasons. In addition the moon is also found to have a connection to the Crown chakra as well.
The Sycotic miasm is emphasized here as we see the correlation with the bodily fluids, our sexual
function, and reproduction.
The color of this Chakra is orange, with its complementary color being blue.

The Sacral Chakra has an affinity with the Sycotic miasm in regards to the bodily fluids, sexuality,
and the emotions. It reigns over the kidneys, Urinary tract and our circulation (fluids); therefore the
use of the glandulars that relate to the specific organs may be used.

Solar Plexus
The third Chakra is called the Solar Plexus. It is located below the sternum and just above the
stomach. The Sanskrit name for the Solar Plexus is Manipura. It is also known as the seat of the
soul, for it is our power center. The parts of the body associated with this Chakra include the
muscular system, the skin, the Solar Plexus, the large intestine, stomach, liver (color yellow), and
other organs and glands in the region of the Solar Plexus. Also the face, representing figuratively

the face one shows the world.

Parts of our consciousness associated with this Chakra include our perceptions concerning power,
control, freedom, and the ease with which one is able to be themselves. The mental activity and
mental body are also associated with this Chakra. The Solar Plexus Chakra corresponds to the level
of being that we call the personality, or ego. It is the seat of our self-esteem and our will. It is our
action in the world, going out and getting what we want.
When there is an over abundance of energy in this center we will encounter someone who is a
workaholic, a perfectionist, domineering, dictatorial and arrogant.
When there is a lack of energy in the Solar Plexus we appear depressed, we lack confidence, and we
worry about what others say (fear of who we are). We may exhibit insecurity, jealousy, distrust,
and a constant need for reassurance.
When this Chakra is balanced we show self-respect, respect for others, and a sense of personal
power. We are outgoing, cheerful, relaxed, spontaneous and very expressive.
Yellow is the color associated to this Chakra. It is the Chakra of the element of fire. Fire walking
is excellent for this Chakra; it gives you the feeling that if you can do that then you can do
anything. Sun bathing holds other benefits for this center, but Ian Watson had commented that we
do not sunbathe properly. We sit in our offices for most of our life and spend two weeks out of the
year in the sun. The best remedy is a regular sunbathing program. Allow the energy of the sun to
soak into the Solar Plexus from the front, and a nice warm fire on your back. Think how good it
feels to stand in front of a fire with your back to it!

HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR THE SOLAR PLEXUS

The Solar Plexus is our furnace of fire. It is our will, our being, and our inner strength. Remedies
found to be appropriate for this Chakra are the fire remedies, including fire itself. We also see the
power of the seasons having an intense effect on this energy center. Spring is a time of death, birth,
and being reborn. It is a time of the renewal of our Spirit. Our souls seek new journeys. Autumn
or Fall is a time of the coming months of rest, a time of detoxification. Summer brings the emotion
of joy, and we learn how to balance it. Our feet are most often exposed in the summer. The feet are
our connection with the earth and are what essentially roots us on many levels. Summer is a very
important time to come in touch with our Root Chakra. Winter brings the much needed rest, but
some may also encounter sadness due to the lack of sunshine and warmth to feed the furnace of the
Solar Plexus.
In regards to the homeopathic remedies that may be used, we may see the remedies that relate to the
digestive tract, the liver, and the gall bladder.

-= Related post =Our fourth Chakra is the Heart Chakra. Its name in Sanskrit is Anahata. The Heart Chakra is the
middle Chakra in the system of seven and it is related to our ability to love freely and to feel love, to
be compassionate and feel compassion, and to have an inner sense of peace deep within us. It is the
integrator of opposites in the psyche, the mind and body, male and female, persona and shadow, and
the ego and unity. It is our connection to the oneness around us.
The associated organs to this Chakra are the heart, breasts, lungs, as well as our immune system. It
encompasses the blood circulatory system, and the cardiac plexus. The major gland is the thymus

gland. It is also said that the Heart Chakra can have a great effect on our sight. I have noticed in my
own healing with this energy center that when I have come to a crisis that my eyesight becomes
weak. So what are we afraid to see?
The Heart Chakra is related to our sense of touch, in its aspect of relating to the person inside the
body, and distinct from the sensation of the Orange Chakra, which is more about the sensation one
feels from their own body. It encompasses our ability to love and offer unconditional love. To
love freely for the true being that one is. Hugging, therefore, is a Heart Chakra activity. When one
hugs, one is aware of what the person inside the other body feels, and they are aware of what you
feel inside your body, and there is a sense of relating to the person inside the body. A sense of
emotional connection is experienced. Sensitivity about being touched indicates Heart Chakra
sensitivity
When we find a deficiency of the amount of energy in the Heart Chakra we may feel sorry for
ourselves, indecisive, and unworthy of being loved. We cannot seem to make the connection or feel
connected to those around us for fear of rejection. We carry a fear of letting go and just being.
When there is an excess of energy within this area we may become demanding and overly critical.
We may also become manic-depressive. We do not posses unconditional love in this state.
The color that relates to this Chakra is green with the secondary or complementary color being red.
That is why when there is an excess of energy within this Chakra we may see traits of the Root
Chakra come forward. We may try to control through our sexuality or through money. We put
limitations on our love. We do not give our love unconditionally.
Another color that relates to the Heart Chakra is the color pink. This is a symbol of motherly love.

Milk Thistle Self Love
A closed Heart Chakra is one of the main effects found in the Western World due to the way of
life. We are taught not to cry, not to get angry, to just take it all in and move on with our lives. Yet
in todays society we see the effects of this type of upbringing in our young. We see their want and
their desire for the intensity of their emotions. We see this desire in their actions, and acting out,
and unfortunately through their choice of drugs in their lives today. A lot of our children are drawn
to empathogens such as ecstasy and LSD. These types of drugs arouse the feelings of emotions;
they awaken the intensity of the emotion, and blow the Heart Chakra wide open.
So deep down in their subconscious they realize the need for emotion. They realize that they are
lacking this essential part of what allows us to feel and love unconditionally.
Homeopathic remedies are very helpful in balancing and unblocking this Chakra. At first it may be
very painful for the individual, due to those buried emotions and their traumas. When we encounter
someone who is in a deep state of despair, perhaps within the dark night of the soul, it is very
beneficial to accompany homeopathic treatment with one or more of the flower or gem essences
available today.
But we need to assure the individual that at the end of this road of healing will lie a connection to
the divine that is without words. This type of healing is a true gift from the power above.

THROAT CHAKRA
The fifth Chakra is the Throat Chakra, also known as the Visuddha in Sanskrit. This Chakra is
located at the base of the throat. It controls the throat, neck, arms, teeth, mouth and hands and is
associated with the brachial or cervical plexus. The Throat Chakra is associated with the thyroid,
parathyroid glands. The sense that corresponds to this Chakra is our sense of hearing.
This energy center holds the key for speech, sounds, vibrations, communication, and our creativity.
It also brings in our abilities for telepathy and gives us our inspiration.
When one is balanced in this area the individual is content, centered, and can live in the present.
They have a very keen sense of timing. They meditate well and through this meditation they
experience a Divine energy.
When the Throat Chakra is open you will find a strong willingness to express yourself. Your
creativities will flow through this Chakra. Those that may express themselves and live strongly
through this energy center tend to be singers, artists, speakers, teachers, etc.
When there is an excessive amount of energy within this center one may present as being arrogant,
self-righteous, dogmatic, addictive, and they talk too much.
Those that are seen as deficient within this center appear scared, timid, quiet, inconsistent, and
unreliable. They hold back. They cannot express their thoughts and they cannot relax. This
individual may be manipulative and devious. You may also find a fear of sex due to their religious
upbringing.
The color for this Chakra is blue with the secondary color being orange.

The Throat Chakra is our center for communication and creativity. When we loose our power to
communicate, to voice who we are and what are needs are, we become suppressed on a deeper
level. We become stifled in our words and our expressions. This is commonly seen in singers,
teachers, and speakers, those who use their voice to express themselves. It is when this power
becomes stifled that disease sets in. We then see diseases such as tonsillitis, strep throat, swollen
glands, and problems with the thymus and spleen. This center also greatly affects our immune

system due to its effect on our thymus gland.

The Third Eye

Christ Conscious Center
The sixth Chakra goes by many names. It is known as the Third Eye, the Christ conscious center,
the Brow Chakra, the Conscious awareness center, and of course, the Sanskrit name of Anja. It is
located at the center of our forehead. The Third Eye controls our psychic powers and higher
intuition. It is from this center that one may reach their higher self. This is the center that enables
you to experience telepathy, astral travel, and our past lives. The Brow Chakra is associated with
the deep inner level of being we call Spirit, or our subconscious being. It is the place where our true
motivations are found, and it is the level of consciousness that directs our actions and our lives.
It is this center that is related to the sense of ESP. This would encompass our inner vision, our
inner sensitivity, and our inner hearing. The Third Eye Chakra relates to our forehead, temples and
the carotid plexus. It corresponds with our pituitary gland.
If an individual is deficient in energy within this center they become non-assertive, undisciplined,
afraid of success, oversensitive to the feelings of others, and they may exhibit difficulty
distinguishing between the ego self and the higher self.
It the energy is overabundant in the Brow Chakra then you may see someone who is an egomaniac,
proud, manipulative, and somewhat an authoritarian.
The well-balanced individual will be charismatic, and carry a sensation of being whole, finally
complete. They will be able to be open to receiving guidance with no attachment to material
possessions. They will not fear death, as they will carry a deeper insight and understanding of this
next phase of life.
The color of the Third Eye is Indigo or midnight blue with the secondary color being Orange.

This center is the control center for our dream world. It is the bridge of the insight between the
human world and our higher selves. It is from the Third Eye that we receive our intuition, our
knowing of what we know. There are many drugs, such as the smoking of marijuana, the intake of
LSD that may blow this center wide open. Blows to the head may also wreak havoc to this energy
center. Those who live too much in this Chakra may loose their sense of reality. They may begin
to hear voices. They may become seasonally depressed. The Third Eye is our eye into the spirit
world. It is in our dreams that we travel with the view of the Third Eye Chakra.

The Crown Chakra

The seventh Chakra is known as the Crown Chakra, the connection to the divine, the cosmic
consciousness center, or the I am center. Its Sanskrit name is Sahasrara. This Chakra
corresponds with the top of the head, the brain, and the entire nervous system. The Crown Chakra
represents that part of our consciousness concerned with our perceptions of unity or separation.

Just as the Root Chakra shows the connection to Mother Earth, this Chakra shows our relationship
with our creator. The Crown Chakra connects us to a world beyond the physical world. It takes us
to a world that is timeless and all knowing. It is this energy center that feeds us the knowledge,
wisdom, understanding and true bliss, thus the connection with the pineal gland.
When the individual is balanced in this energy center they can transcend the laws of nature. They
have total access to the unconscious and the subconscious. They understand the oneness of the
universe. Those balanced and enlightened within this Chakra are our mystics, shamans, and our
healers.
When someone contains an excess of energy within this center they may seem frustrated, depressed
and become destructive. They may also suffer from migraine headaches. They cannot realize the
power they posses, and they may seem distant. Individuals in this situation may require a remedy to
ground them, to rebalance them.
When the individual is found deficient in this Chakra they are catatonic. They appear lifeless and
joyless. They are incapable of making decisions. They may express that they have no interest in
what life has to offer.
