N21: Nature’s Inventory from the Plant Kingdom

In the past few narratives, we looked at the mineral kingdom and their fear of loss of structure due to a weakness, and the strength and dominance vs weak.  Plants including many large groups of species, including the fungi, and Vermeulen has a Materia Medica, Kingdom Fungi that is essential in understanding the different fungi, the fairies and the Santa Claus experience of red and white and gifts arriving on a flying sledge with reindeers pulling it. Avatar is a great narrative that shows the mining of ‘unobtainium’ that we never did find on Earth which in the plot we have destroyed. The plants are the direct creation of the Earth. We learn from plants as we eat and live with them; they are the living part of the Earth itself.  Animals process plants and we get the plants from the animals.  Bacteria process the plants and turn them into remedies. Jan Scholten talks about plants in his book, which shows the mineral perception, and then there is the combination duo of the homeopaths Vermuelen and Johnson who look at the minerals in the plant from a mix of mineral and plant sensitivities. When you read the book, Wonderful Plants by Scholten you see a mineral energy explaining plants from a mineral perception.  The building up of the structure of the chemical make-up of a plant in order to explain what it is does seem a little one-sided.  But this is the nature of bias, and the reason why it is so important for a homeopathic practitioner to have a good Similimum for their own chronic state so as to be more aware of their own limitations and strengths.  Rajan Sankaran has an amazing 3 books on some main plant families and has an excellent cheat sheet in the form of a book called Sankaran’s Plant Sensations in Pictures with source Words which summaries sensations from these 3 volumes on the main experiences of plants called An Insight into Plants Volumes 1, 11 and 111.  Michal Yakir has her own cheat sheet and her own system of understanding plants and their development through the human consciousness.  When looking at the sensations of plants as Sankaran has shown we can certainly better understand the sensations and their compensations, but we can also see the amazing anthology of Plants that Vermeulen and Johnston wrote together. Which looks at the family, the tribes, the chemical compounds and poisons running through the plants and everything botanical that we need to know about the plant family. The question for today: What is the importance of a kingdom for the patient?
