Lamprohiza splendidula (firefly)

(JA)
This little beacon that flits around and
people are attracted to
They are like phos, med and bugs
Very sexual in the night
High sex drive
I don’t feel sexual at all – then it
comes over me like a wave at night
Like when someone strikes a match
This is a beetle
Have a hard shell on outside, can be
haughty
They tend to go from relationship to
relationship when wife dies, they
might go right into relationship
Well people die!
Be flip about it
Their insomnia – completely exhausted, then bedtime comes -
and they become completely awake
Then I have this hot flash – then all this energy comes over me
Small and big

After doing the firefly proving and seeing my first case in 2006, it was
clear to me what she needed. She nicely demonstrated my
understanding of the remedy: her immature, vulnerable, small and
dark side had to be protected or covered up by a hard elytra, resulting
in a cold dark numbness and a stagnation of growth. Thus she was
compelled to escape to a light, childish, creative, adventurist and
partying side: stuck in Neverland, now with the dichotomy/paradox of
dark and light. Striving for metamorphosis or growing up – figuratively
and literally – is daunting, too painful with too many challenges. It’s the theme of Puer aeternus.
Her relationships reflect this stagnation to mature, keeping her stuck in the dark, redeeming it,
but yearning to get through it into the light in a real and lasting way. She has a dichotomy
between the settling that comes with maturity and the escapism that maintains her young and
bright side. Not wanting to face the dark side, but stuck with it in her environment, she doesn’t
want to face her feelings or her body. She strives to do so, but is unable to transform or to free
herself permanently by balancing her duality of hard and soft, body and mind. Her vulnerability
makes her susceptible to shock, to neurasthenia and to invasion.

She responded well after every dose of Lamprohiza splendidula,

I’m feeling closed in on, stifled and on the financial
edge. I feel my family is abandoning their trust in me by making it as
difficult as possible to make a living. I feel confused and a little
frightened that if I don’t find a solution soon we’ll be asked to leave
our home and I don’t want that.
I feel like I have been released from an imprisonment.

Overall feeling is a bit out of it, but no
longer sad. I feel
detached from things, as if an observer,
sort of floating outside of
everything, not really a part of
everything going on around me. Work
colleagues and friends have pointed out
that I seem present, but not
really connect, that I seem to “space”
when they talk to me.

Overall, there were unusual and subtle references to what I was

the heart and mind.

all my vibrancy, of my

motivation and extra

I think I was traveling during
the night. Toward
morning I visited a friend. For
fun, I wore a specific colored
shirt to
see if I would match what
they wore – and sure enough, we were
wearing the same color. It’s is a bit unsettling, but fascinates me.

05, 11: XX:XX I felt sad looking at the other patients at the hospital.
Bodies ravished by cancer. I felt ANIMAL. I wondered why human
beings keep people alive with medication when their bodies deteriorate
and are eaten by different diseases.
Death/Life++
At service, two speakers talk about death and when
they finished the energy was surreal: people offered me hugs that
never had before. With one woman we melted. The look on her face
was pure bliss.

Blood!

woke; felt like I had to pee but did not; had this idea
that I had a UTI – that I “saw blood” I my urine

I was
staring at the fire and felt hypnotized.

There was a guy from highschool/university that was
there who always really liked me and I knew that if I ever dated him
Lamprohiza splendidula (firefly)

he would treat me like gold but the physical attraction was never there
for me.
Staring into my own eyes, with a smirk on my face, as if telling myself
it was ok to admire myself!
Orphan++
I have a client, who deeply
moved me, and is an orphan.
A baby horse gets separated from
the mother horse. The mother horse is killed, so an orphan boy takes
care of baby horse.

05, 11: XX:XX I went swimming at my parent’s pool.
I felt a sudden deep melancholy. It was as if I had been
so busy all day, there was no time to deal with emotions, so things
were suppressed, put aside until later.
