SPECTRUM OF HOMEOPATHY
Olga Fatula
¦ Nephila
SPIDERS AND SCORPIONS
never been raised over the past ten years. It’s a pittance,
they do not value me.
“I do what others cannot do. I invent tax-free schemes and
I am proud of it. My boss pretends not to notice it, and he
manipulates me to do a lot for a miserable salary.
“It’s as if I’m running a marathon, jumping right or left,
distracting myself, snatching something, learning something
interesting and forgetting how to use my legs and to run. I
am a sprinter for short distances. It’s a kind of a protection,
my pattern.”
Survival, states, characteristics:
“I must survive like in the
jungles, one on one with dangerous animals and trees. Legs
and arms are there, but there is no power to survive. The
danger is from above – anyone can jump down and swallow
you, all of a sudden.
“Death is the relief from debt commitments, a way out of
the dead end.
“I made up my own image of the victim, under any excuse.
Emptiness, depression, life is passing by. I am in hell, my body
is still here and my soul is underground. I have thoughts of
a suicide, but in an unusual way.”
(His main hobby is music. His favourite tune is from “Silk,”
an action film about combat exercises, going a long distance
in a short time, bypassing danger spots, strength, and agility,
avoiding being caught, and using forceful techniques. He
recorded a series of sounds as an illusion of strength and
fearlessness, quick movement, underwater, and on a para-
chute. He sings and plays violin and guitar. He tried martial
arts, by himself, self-taught from books. )
“My father did not care about my interests; he did not give
me anything but food. I invented a way to bring myself up
by watching what others do. I dreamt of having superpow-
ers because I’m a subtle body. You can defeat by emotions.
When a child I had silly fights with my peers, I was afraid of
everybody. I teased them. A victim, but still kicking.
“I have an acute sense of justice, to bring everything into fair-
ness and balance. I was disappointed in justice. I understand
that I play a game where you have to cheat, play along, to
be cunning. You have to be on alert, live by their malicious
emotions. You are a better one if you deceive better. Or I
had thoughts that I am a great person. And that I feel and
perceive the world more correctly than others.”
(He likes water, shades of light shimmers, being alone. The
sun is important, “a bright colourful kaleidoscope.”)
“Fear to give away all the money and stay hungry. The body
can stay hungry but the brain must feed.”
Fears:
to be scolded, humiliated, not accepted; of dogs.
“Spiders are poisonous, but I understand them.”
Comedies about crooks:
“Humour gives relief. I had a
good sense of humour, but now it’s gone. People don’t
need it. They think that I have an easy life if I joke. Now
I feel pity for myself. Mockery, ridicule, that’s the normal
way of life.”
Dreams:
Railway platform, no chance to jump into a train on
the run. Flying up by using energy that comes from feet and
hands staying in the air and looking from above that things
are OK with the relatives.
Food:
“I like ice-cream with coffee. I jumped off the diet – I
cannot live without sweets. I hate chicken – my wife overfed
me with it. I like soup but wives don’t like to waste time cook-
ing it. I am thirsty, drink lots of tea. Warm drinks replace food.
Green tea causes depressions, I freak out.”
Physical:
BP is low, 90/60 mm in the morning. The muscle
mass doesn’t grow, libido low. Oedema of legs, extremities
numb. Right leg cold, “as if dead and dry, I massage it out
of emptiness.”
Previous illnesses:
pancreatitis, cholecystitis
On exertion, a sharp head pain, as if hit by a slab + vertigo,
desire to lie down and do nothing. Coffee, tea amel.
First prescription:
Loxosceles reclusa
200C
FOLLOW-UPS: (SUMMARY)
No significant change after
Loxosceles
. The patient basically
repeats the statements from the previous casetaking with dif-
ferent words. A second comprehensive casetaking follows. The
main results are as follows.
Balance:
“I cannot find a point of balance yet. It’s balancing.
You walk on a rope and are afraid to fall. Let it be low, at the
level of a desk. They want a show and I want a show. I cheat
people and they cheat me.”
Web nest:
“It is dangerous to sit in the nest. The point of
security is where you have an overview to see your enemies,
and the land. Balancing on a liana, away from trees, to see
the line-up of forces, and to fly away from danger. A normal
spider hanging among trees. At a breath of wind it can fly
away. The web is your framework, round, large, and strong. I
cannot make a frame around things that I like. In any place I
am a stranger or a guest. I don’t have a home. I build nests for
everyone and then fly away. Some insects die after breeding.”
Taking revenge:
“Revenge takes energy, but I am happy
despite that. You take an opponent into a stalemate and he
punishes himself. It is like aikido, they catch the right moment
for the opponent to lose balance, at a short distance.”
Power:
“It’s the control over everyone’s movements. It’s not a
brutal force, rather a psychology, shaking one’s mentality into
misbalance. You make him defenceless catching his mistakes.
Pride is in defeating a big power with a little one. Defeating
brute force by the power of mind.”
Prescription:
Nephila sp.
200C, one globule every two weeks
Follow-ups from February 2019 (summary):
Two days after
taking the remedy: “It’s the first time in two years that I’ve had
a refreshing sleep.” “Very vulnerable, weeping, resentment,
anger. I think of my behaviour as not matching my age.”
After two more days: much quieter state of mind, emotions
are appropriate to the situation, good self-control, the mood
and swings of spirits are consciously controlled.
