6.1 GlossaryClade: A group, of plants, animals or bacteria. The level of the group, however, is indeterminate. It can be a family, or an order, class or even an entire kingdom.
Cure:
Cure is a recovery from disease in living beings. The normal healthy state is restored.
Cure works according to the Law of Similars.
Disease:
Disease is derangement of health in living beings. The living being is not working harmoniously any more and feels limited and handicapped by sensations, feelings and physical problems. It is a dis-ease.
Elements:
Elements are the simple substances in nature. They are also called atoms, as they cannot be changed, at least in normal situations. There are about 100 kinds of elements and they are classified in the
Periodic system of the
Elements, as developed by Mendeleev.
Kingdom:
Kingdoms are the main groups of creation. Traditionally there were 3
Kingdoms:
Minerals,
Plants and
Animals. The
Bacterial kingdom has been discovered in the last 5 centuries. Regular science sees humans mostly as part of the Animal kingdom. The mind quality of human beings justifies the creation of the Human kingdom.
Monophyletic: A group is monophyletic if all members of a group have evolved from one ancestor AND all the descendants of that ancestor are in the group are in the group. The opposites of monophyly are called paraphyly or polyphyly. Paraphyly means that a group is missing some members. Polyphyly means the group is missing the ancestor.
Periodic system: The
Periodic system is the table with all the elements of nature. The
Elements, also called atoms, are placed in rows and columns. There are 7 rows. The amount of columns depends on the row, going from 2 columns in the 1st row, to 8 columns in the 2nd and 3rd row, to 18 columns in the 4th and 5th row, and 32 columns in the 6th row.
Personality:
Personality is a state of being. It can be expressed on all levels of existence, in thoughts, desires, emotions, sensations and physical derangements. Most people have several personalities, with which can be identified more or less strongly.
Phase: The
Phases express the feeling and state of how much one belongs to someone or something. They coincide with the 8 columns of the 2nd and 3rd row of the
Periodic system. It depends on the matching
Series: family or friends, neighbourhoods or villages, cultures or religions, nations or worlds.
Series: The
Series are the themes of life, with their needs, desires and goal and thoughts that fit wit those aims. They were discovered in the
Periodic system. The 7 rows of the
Periodic system coincide with the
Series, expressing the themes of the
Series.
Self: The
Self is the real I, as distinguished from the ego, the person or I. The personal I is a collection of personalities.
Law of Hering: This law tells if a change in health is in the good or bad direction, to more health or more disease. The principle is that living beings try to expel problems as far out of their organism as possible and that more central and important organs have to be secured. The skin, as the most outer layer, is the least important and that is why it is the first to become diseased, like in children.
Law of Similars: This law says that healing follows only by applying the same quality as the patient is in. It is a law of paradoxical therapy. It works by bringing the source of disease into consciousness, which is the source of the
Self and the self-healing power.
Stage: The
Stages describe how one feels in a situation and one handles that situation. There are 18
Stages, coinciding with the 18 Columns of the
Periodic system, as they are present in the rows 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Subphase: In principle it is the same as the Phase. It is not discussed much in this book, as it is a more technical difference. In the
Plant theory and
Animal theory there are 2
Phases: Phase and Subphase. The Phase is more who one is, the Subphase more what one encounters. The Phase is more the past, the Subphase more the future.
