Nowadays Phosphorus has an ideal reputation. Homeopaths consider Phosphorus individuals to be the most pleasant of people, and everyone would consider it an honor to have this type as a constitutional type. It is true that many Phosphorus individuals are filled with joy, love and spirituality, but the truth is never simple, at least in relation to constitutional types.

For example, one can imagine a series from the most selfish to the most conscientious Sulfur individual, where the latter represents all the positive qualities of the type, and the first - all the negative ones. And exactly the same series can be built for Phosphorus. Not all Phosphorus will be altruistic and spiritually oriented people. The rougher Phosphorus may give things to people only when it is beneficial to him or only when he is in a good mood, but in general he will think only of himself and will not take anyone else into account.

The essence of this constitutional type, running through its entire picture, is the absence of distinct personal boundaries, and it is this absence of boundaries that serves as the main source of both positive and negative traits of the Phosphorus psyche. Most people in childhood gradually develop a fairly clear identification of the boundaries of their “I” that separate it from the rest of the world.

Before this happens, the baby feels one with the world around him, especially with his mother. The identity of the “I” is built through thousands of restrictions and conditions that the child faces and which determine what the child thinks about himself, who he thinks he is, and how he relates himself to the world around him. Basically, the definition of one’s “I” is built with the help of opinions and beliefs, and therefore it is predominantly intellectual in nature, since it is the developing intellect that allows one to analyze, distinguish, reject and accept.

Gradually, children begin to live more and more with the help of reason, rather than emotions, and as this happens, they increasingly separate themselves from the world around them, since it ceases to be perceived by them directly, but only through the filters of the intellect. “I” also includes emotions, which in the infant are initially impersonal in nature, since he does not have a sense of his own personality to which these emotions could be attached.

Therefore, the baby simply floats in waves of pleasure or fear, not realizing why he is happy or afraid and not even knowing who he is. His existence is filled with only emotions. As intelligence develops, a personality appears that can identify these emotions, say “I’m afraid,” “I’m angry.” A person can also, to some extent, “escape” emotions by separating himself from them.

It was precisely this process of identifying oneself with the help of one’s intellect that was not fully completed in Phosphorus individuals. Phosphorus perceives the world partly like a newborn baby - inseparable from itself. Sensory stimuli are felt more acutely and directly by Phosphorus because they are not filtered by the intellect to the same extent as in other people (Kent: "Sensitivity to external impressions").

As a result, all impressions have a stronger effect on Phosphorus. This is equally true for both pleasant and unpleasant stimuli. A beautiful sunset allows the Phosphorus individual to experience a delight that few mortals can experience, a delight that completely bypasses the intellect. In the same way, Phosphorus will acutely experience squalor and poverty when he finds himself in slum areas.

This will not be the indignation of Causticum, nor the compassion of Natrum muriaticum - Phosphorus simply absorbs the “vibrations” of a given place, which, in principle, all people are able to perceive, but for others they are blocked by a “protective layer of insensitivity” and rootedness in their own “I”. And Phosphorus, like a sponge, absorbs absolutely all direct impressions from the environment, then experiencing waves of emotions caused by the impressions received - both pleasant and not.

For Phosphorus, the world of intuition and feeling is alive and real, including the ability to feel the emotions of others. The Phosphorus individual picks up on the emotions of others, sometimes without realizing it. For example, a Phosphorus woman may experience anxiety for no apparent reason, but the whole point will be that she sat on the subway next to a person who is frightened by something. She may also experience anxiety if at this moment close person, located hundreds of kilometers away, was in danger (Kent: “Clairvoyance”).

The romantic poet John Keate described the impressionability of Phosphorus very vividly in a letter to a friend: “As for my poetic character... it has no “self”; it's everything and nothing; he has no personality; he simply enjoys the light and shadow. The poet... does not have his own “I” - he is everywhere and can fill other bodies with himself - the Sun, the Moon, the Ocean. If I am in a room with other people and my brain is free from its own constructions and thoughts, then I cease to be my own master; The personalities of those around me begin to affect me, the glorious “I” in me has become very small and even completely disappeared.” (A similar description could be applied to Mercurius.)

As a result of such extraordinary openness of the psyche of the Phosphorus individual, reality for him becomes much richer and wider than for other people, but at the same time the risk of becoming confused and lost in the abundance of experiences increases.

Although Phosphorus has considerable intuition and a developed sixth sense, he is equally susceptible to misinterpretation of his emotions and can pass off his desires as intuitive insights, which completely leads himself astray. Phosphorus' intuition is unreliable as he swims in an ocean of perceived emotions and images. The Phosphorus individual can easily get lost in this ocean of changing currents (Kent: “Chaos”), sometimes frozen in amazement, sometimes trembling with horror and struggling with all his might not to drown in this ocean completely.

Naivety

There is no person more naive than Phosphorus (although Pulsatilla, Baryta Carbonica and China are close to him in this regard), Phosphorus is open to the point of complete transparency, which gives his character a childlike naivety and spontaneity that fascinates some and terrifies others. A great example of Phosphorus's naivety can be seen in the character of Maria in the movie The Sound of Music, played by actress Julia Andrews. All the nuns adore her, but they are infuriated by her impetuous humor and complete inability to follow adult rules of behavior, to be restrained and serious enough (Kent: “Frivolity”).

Naivety is both the strength and weakness of Phosphorus. Like children, many Phosphorus individuals remain unspoiled in a vicious world. They are idealists to the extreme, but they see the cruelty of the world better than many, while they themselves remain as alien to this cruelty as possible, it does not penetrate them.

Maria cannot stand the harshness with which the Nux vomica officer treats her children, and while he is away, she tries to teach them to sing while rediscovering to them the beauty of the world. When he returns, in true Nux vomica fashion, he orders her to pack her bags, since he saw the lack of discipline so dear to him. However, the sound of her singing melts his heart. Phosphorus can melt the icy heart of any tyrant. Her love is so innocent and unconditional that only a robot or the devil could reject her.

The Phosphorus patient's innocence can cause her problems because it makes her too trusting. Most Phosphorus individuals are prone to unconditional trust, especially if the person is pleasant to them, and although, like children, they intuitively avoid bad people, external friendliness can make them disobey the voice of intuition and believe the manipulator. Phosphorus is "catastrophically optimistic" and always prefers to think good things about others rather than bad things. He becomes an easy prey for charming Lycopodium salesmen, who can “sell” him a product he doesn’t particularly need for a lot of money, as well as insurance agents, who can intimidate him to such an extent that he buys the most expensive insurance from them.

Phosphorus panics easily. Due to their gullibility and relatively poor awareness of reality, they tend to exaggerate the real degree of risk and overreact to any threatening impressions (Kent: “Scared by little things”). When Orson Willis broadcast his comic emergency message that aliens had already landed on Earth, thousands of people ran to the mountains in panic. I think that among these people the majority were of the Phosphorus constitution.

Associated with the gullibility of Phosphorus is his tendency to jump to hasty conclusions. His brain tends to be imprecise and impressionable, and his imagination is too vivid. As a result, Phosphorus often cannot distinguish between the real and the illusory.

Phosphorus individuals are especially prone to interpret the facts they directly observe, distorting them with their fears and desires. One day I was on vacation in the company of my friend Phosphorus, and she noticed how a middle-aged man was closely watching a girl in a swimsuit. My friend’s attention intensified even more when she discovered that this man was not alone, but in the company of his wife, who, apparently, did not pay attention to her husband’s excessive interest in the young girl.

I pointed out to her that she had most likely come to another hasty conclusion, but she insisted that in a little more we would witness a heartbreaking scene of jealousy. My friend looked forward to the spectacle of her unfaithful husband being exposed by an angry wife with excitement and enthusiasm, mixed with fear. In the end, it turned out that she was the daughter of a middle-aged couple, and this “prosaic” reality pierced the huge soap bubble of my friend’s fantasies, while at the same time bringing her relief, since she was very distressed by the thought of the possible pain that the unfortunate deceived spouse would experience (Kent: “Sympathy ").

The Phosphorus woman is usually the most pleasant patient at a homeopathic appointment, but her assessment of her own health, as a rule, has little in common with reality. She may either exaggerate her symptoms or actually ignore them. serious problems(especially if she is afraid that she has some kind of life-threatening disease, or if she really does have one).

Because of her gullibility, and also being frightened by a terrible diagnosis (Kent: “Fear of impending illness”), the Phosphorus patient often resorts to a wide variety of unconventional and fashionable methods of treatment, in addition to the usual doctor and homeopath. Subsequently, she associates success or failure in treatment with these impressive effects, and regards homeopathy as another “supportive remedy.” This is another example of the fuzziness of thinking that is so typical of Phosphorus. Phosphorus patients are very poor at distinguishing what is real from what is fake, and if the latter is also wrapped up in an attractive package, problems are inevitable.

Irresponsibility and avoidance of reality

The ability to take responsibility for one's actions has never been a strong point of Phosphorus, since it implies voluntary restrictions on self-discipline.

This goes against the natural spontaneity of the Phosphorus and requires a degree of mental focus that feels boring or tiring to the Phosphorus individual. Phosphorus is characterized by a fluidity, an ephemerality that allows it to glide easily through the grandiose carnival of life, perceiving things from their external side and bypassing those places that require deeper attention and greater obligations - concluding contracts, paying debts, etc.

Phosphorus is notorious for his ability to borrow huge sums of money for passing hobbies - be it buying alcohol or a Ferrari or donating to starving children - without considering whether he can repay the debt. Phosphorus never looks back at past experiences that could have warned him of danger, nor forward, anticipating the possible consequences of his careless actions. He simply believes that things will go this way and that way, and when they go in the opposite direction, he gets lost and panics. Phosphorus is generous to those in need (partly out of thoughtfulness, partly because he does not understand the true value of money) and expects that others will not deny him his need, even if he has created problems for himself with his shortsightedness. It must be said that Phosphorus’s charm and his ability to look unhappy and touching in difficult times, as a rule, allow him to find a person who will help him out of trouble. In such situations, Phosphorus adds a lot of skillful play to natural grief in order to win sympathy and gain support.

Exaggeration and emotional dramatization are very common traits among Phosphorus individuals. Due to this, their story becomes more dramatic and interesting, but then they may find themselves in an uncomfortable position, since they tend to embellish their story with both emotions and certain events (naturally putting them in a more favorable light), and due to emotional coloring, the attention of listeners takes their mind off the actual situation and focuses on the fact that they need support. The huge naive eyes of Phosphorus, filled with tears, are an almost irresistible argument. They evoke sympathy on their own, regardless of the actual situation. As a result, many Phosphorus individuals, especially young ones, successfully “run away with the loot.”

Because they don't look back, they don't feel particularly guilty about causing trouble to others, although if they are suddenly confronted with the pain they caused, they may be shocked and overwhelmed. a short time filled with remorse. However, when this event becomes a thing of the past, their fluttering mind quickly flies to something else. Since Phosphorus is open to a huge number of the most diverse and incompatible impressions, and the ability not to fixate on past events is a kind of protection that helps to avoid emotional overload.

I have just touched on Phosphorus' amazing ability to justify itself. Several years ago I lent a friend a large sum of money, which she promised to quickly return (her constitutional affiliation was confirmed by the fact that Phosphorus cured her of a very serious illness). Needless to say, I did not receive any money back and had already given up all hope. I didn't meet her for several years, and then we suddenly ran into each other. She flew up to me and after exchanging joyful greetings, she suddenly made a serious face and said that she had something to tell me. After this solemn introduction, she said that all this time she had remembered the duty, and asked me not to think that she had forgotten about it. I expected her to promise to return the money to me, and when she didn’t, I directly asked when she was going to do it. She smiled brightly and said that she would invite me to lunch soon. I was so amazed that I couldn't even get angry.

The ability to escape from difficulties is the basis of Phosphorus' defense mechanisms. When reality gets ugly, Phosphorus is even better than Lycopodium or Sulfur at escaping, either literally or within the confines of its head, to find a more pleasant environment. Alcohol, marijuana and other relaxing drugs, as well as immersion in fantasy films or novels, can help escape reality.

Phosphorus may live very little in the past or future, but even in the present he spends scarcely half the time, since his chief seat is his imagination (Kent: "Rampage of Fancy"). Phosphorus is not able to stay in “one place” for long, and even in the absence of problems, he can feel obvious physical or psychological restlessness if he is forced to be tied to the same place for a long time. Phosphorus is a “sprinter”; over a “long distance” he quickly gets tired and begins to get bored. Like Sulfur or Lycopodium, he tends mainly to play, and when he is not allowed, he begins to act up. He may even fly into a rage, although these outbursts are usually short-lived and rarely become violent (Kent: "Gentleness"),

Gambling is one of the means by which Phosphorus simultaneously obtains exciting excitement and tries to solve his financial problems. Phosphorus tends to become addicted to something, in particular, he may develop a pathological addiction to gambling, be it football betting, horse racing or roulette. When a Phosphorus individual loses, he is much better representative any other type can convince himself that next time he will definitely be lucky. As a result, he often commits reckless acts, and sometimes even commits crimes.

According to my observations, first of all, men of this type tend to become dependent on something. The Phosphorus woman usually escapes from reality in relationships with men, or at least in fantasies about them. When such a woman has difficulties, she can easily fall in love with a random travel companion who appears to her as a knight in shining armor. A man who happens upon her usually finds her very attractive and may even take part in her game of victim-rescuer, but gradually he begins to realize that he has bitten off more than he can chew, and in the end he leaves her.

The Phosphorus woman (and also Pulsatilla) is the most natural beautiful lady who definitely needs to be saved. She is so innocent, so helpless, so beautiful that brave knights vie to save her. However, only a badly wounded knight who is unable to move is able to stay next to her for a long time, and such a rescuer does not make a very good one - it’s time to save him!

When the fair lady of Phosphorus discovers her knight, she usually reacts to him in two ways. Sometimes she becomes selflessly devoted to him and devotes herself entirely to him. This is not difficult for Phosphorus, who has an open heart and a relatively weak sense of self-identity. Subsequently, she will be focused on her beloved all her life and as long as she remains loved, she will be happy to remain completely dependent on her partner (the same can be observed with Pulsatilla, Natrum muriaticum, Staphysagria and Ignatia). However, since he is everything to her, the slightest weakening of his feelings will be perceived by her as a disaster. Then she will either make scandals, desperately trying to keep him (Kent: “Hysteria”, “Rage”), or she will begin to shed streams of tears, refusing to eat, speak or even move for several days (Kent: “The consequences of unrequited love, with quiet grief ").

Phosphorus's refusal to accept the harsh reality of life is often combined with a love of everything charming and alluring. Phosphorus is similar to a magpie in its craving for everything shiny and bright, including bright people. Phosphorus women are often naturally very graceful (which is why many famous ballerinas are this type) and love to wear stylish clothes that highlight their slender figure. They themselves also often achieve perfection in the ability to charm others.

Like Natrium muriaticum or Ignatia, Phosphorus women can become very seductive when they need it. I will never forget a photo of one of my friends, Phosphorus. She was pictured half-turning blowing cigarette smoke straight into the lens, languidly half-closing his eyes and showing sensuality itself with his whole appearance.

Many Phosphorus individuals lead delightful lives and take obvious pleasure in telling and retelling various charming details. Like Ignatia, the charm and charm of Phosphorus often attracts the best to them - prestigious social connections, the most attractive job.

In addition, Phosphorus has great artistic abilities, which allows them to become professional actors and actresses or master other professions related to working in public, such as press secretaries and journalists. One day, a young Russian woman who worked as a translator for Russian diplomats in America approached me. I am sure that she got her job not only due to her linguistic prowess, but not least due to her natural charm and striking appearance.

She moved in the highest spheres and had access to many of the powerful, however, when I began to talk to her, it turned out that inside she was somewhat confused, since, like many Phosphorus individuals, she could not tell herself exactly who she was. This inner confusion manifested itself in evasiveness and a sense of insecurity when it came to her deepest thoughts and feelings, which made her seem quieter than most Phosphorus women.

However, she clearly exuded the radiant charm so characteristic of Phosphorus, combined with a pronounced impressionability. After a dose of Phosphorus 10 M, she became much more aware of who she was and what she wanted. She said that she now clearly understood how much she had previously depended on the will and approval of others, and that she was now determined to overcome this dependence.

Shining star

It is no coincidence that the word “phosphorus” literally means “carrying light.” In nature, it is the phosphorus content that causes the glow of fireflies and many sea creatures. The night sea phosphoresces with myriads of tiny jellyfish and crustaceans, forming clusters in certain places and at certain times of the year. In its pure form, the element phosphorus is very unstable and, upon contact with air, ignites instantly - another illustration of its extraordinary reactivity and ability to produce a flash of light. There is always a meaningful connection between the original substance of a homeopathic remedy and the individual who reacts to it. Like phosphorus, the Phosphorus individual has a high metabolic rate with a tendency to burn quickly.

His hair is usually blond or reddish, and he is prone to acute inflammatory reactions and burning sensations. Likewise, the psyche of Phosphorus has much in common with an unstable chemical element. The Phosphorus individual is easily excited, and when happy, he literally glows with joy. No other type compares to Phosphorus in its ability to radiate joy. This radiation is almost physically perceptible.

The face of a joyful Phosphorus individual is so filled with elation and joyful excitement that it overflows. For those of you who haven't yet fully grasped the joyful Phosphorus, imagine the infectious and disarming smile of actresses Julia Roberts or Geena Davis. (According to my observations, modern actors almost always play characters that correspond to their constitution.) Male Phosphorus actors are a little harder to distinguish, but the most likely owner of the Phosphorus constitution is Martin Short. His smile is almost as irresistible as the smile of the Phosphorus women.

Apparently, most Phosphorus individuals are blessed with the same radiant character and can easily enter into that state of joyful ecstasy that mystics strive for for years. Few Phosphorus take the trouble to learn the art of meditation, since they have a natural source of joy within them, at least when their lives are undisturbed (perhaps many Phosphorus are put off by meditation because it implies the need to make an effort).

However, many Phosphorus would nevertheless benefit from mastering those types of meditation that calm the thoughts, since these people are very excitable and their joy is often overshadowed by anxiety. Due to extreme impressionability, the Phosphorus psyche reacts to streams of external events with much greater force than that of ordinary people.

One minute such a woman is deliriously happy, and the next she is full of despair (Kent: “Laughter alternates with melancholy”) because she was told some unpleasant news or saw a tragic message on the evening news. A similar mechanism of emotional swing can also be seen in Ignatia, but in the latter the mood is more dramatic, and negative emotions are usually deeper and longer lasting.

Despite the fact that it is very a large number of The most varied difficulties can unsettle Phosphorus, these people have sufficient emotional elasticity and the ability to restore balance after blows of fate, and after a short period of depression or anxiety, radiant enthusiasm returns to them. Of all the constitutional types, Phosphorus has the easiest emotions. Others, like Lycopodium or Tuberculinum, are relaxed and unemotional most of the time, but lack the radiant, cheerful optimism of Phosphorus.

Like Peter Pan or Shakespeare's Peck, the Phosphorus individual is a very easy-going person (it is no coincidence that the names of both characters begin with the letter "P" - the most light sound, which looks like a balloon, only slightly touching the ground, and with its entire surface open to space. You see how the “phosphorus” spirit infects the author - I was drawn to fantasy). Such people have no time for hard thoughts, and only a sad thought will pull them to the ground - lo and behold! - they are already in the air again, hovering over the problem, regardless of whether it has been resolved or not.

Phosphorus is very sociable. No other type enjoys good company so much and is so independent of it (Kent: “Desire for Company”). When Phosphorus are alone, they feel sad and restless, but they thrive in company (even if it is not safe for them), as they need to share their thoughts and feelings with others, in turn receiving their thoughts and feelings. Phosphorus' natural joy is contagious, and their simple philosophy of "live for today" is refreshing for more thoughtful types, who immediately feel uplifted in Phosphorus's company.

Phosphorus is as open in his grief as in his joy, but unlike Ignatia or Natrum muriaticum, who eat themselves if they suddenly open their feelings to someone, Phosphorus, who shared his experiences with another, quickly feels relief. Moreover, Phosphorus is so impressionable that the most insignificant soothing word is enough for him to reduce anxiety, and the simplest consolations are enough for him to get out of depression.

When happy, Phosphorus is very playful. Even at work, the Phosphorus woman will twitter all the time, and since her work is usually associated with communication, she quickly acquires a huge number of friends and girlfriends who enjoy her cheerful company. Nurse Phosphorus usually acts as a breath of fresh air throughout the room. Handling rags and bedpans, she will hum and dance as if at a party, and even the saddest patients will smile at her, infected by her mischievous fun (Kent: “Joy, liveliness”).

Some other nurses may be jealous and try to reduce her joy and popularity by taking advantage of her naivety and openness. I had to deal with several young Phosphorus patients who complained about constant tricks and hostile attitudes on the part of their female colleagues. In part, these complaints were a consequence of hypersensitivity typical of Phosphorus, sometimes turning into paranoia, but in many ways they reflected real jealousy on the part of others. Often

Phosphorus looks like a golden child descended from heaven to bring a little magic to our dim world. Thanks to her charm, a Phosphorus girl can become very popular and win the attention of the most enviable guys. In addition, such a girl is often very dramatic in her expressiveness and does not care at all about hiding her joy from everyone's admiration. As a result, some less fortunate mere mortals, by her grace, lose their lovers and begin to think about how to make her life less wonderful.

Like Medorrinum or Lachesis, Phosphorus lives primarily in the right hemisphere, focusing more on harmony than logic. Most Phosphorus individuals are gifted with artistic ability, many writing poetry, becoming artists or dancers as amateurs and even as professionals.

The Phosphorus individual reflects the lightness of his spirit in his creativity, and he, in turn, likes art that is light, subtle, and ephemeral. He prefers watercolors to oil painting, and among the latter he chooses a light, blurry style of painting, for example Monet, rejecting the more “heavy” realistic style.

Similarly, in music, Phosphorus will choose romantic melodies, ballads or light live music, such as jazz. The Phosphorus woman may very much like more "serious" works - opera, Beethoven, etc., but this music makes her sad. Phosphorus tends to avoid anything that is too overwhelming. Art is a continuation of Phosphorus himself, it reflects the harmony in his soul and is mixed with his impulses and ecstatic delights.

Phosphorus men have the same ease and sensitivity as women of this type. They may not care much for things like routine duties and responsibilities, but if they manage to find a niche in life where they can remain as they are - bright and sparkling, then they look as charming as they come. women.

Phosphorus men can be described as charming rather than handsome, just as some of the more "intelligent" Ignatia women can be described as beautiful rather than charming. A good example of a Phosphorus actor is Nat King Cole. His charm and spontaneity made him a universal favorite and allowed him to become America's first black host of his own television show.

Like no other artist of his time, Cole received enormous and undisguised pleasure from performing in front of the public, and quite naturally and unconsciously. The greatest ballet dancers are usually Phosphorus. It was said about Nijinsky that in moments of inspiration he could instantly soar in the highest jump, as if his body was lighter than fluff.

There is something light about all Phosphorus individuals that makes it seem as if they could literally soar. Usually they themselves really like their own resemblance to elves, and they make the most of their “etherealness”, unlike China individuals who have this quality to an even greater extent, but their too low self-confidence prevents them from expressing themselves.

The narcissism of Phosphorus does not reduce, but even adds to their charm, in contrast to the eyesore pride of Lycopodium or Nux vomica. Like these two types, Phosphorus is prone to vanity and self-indulgence, but its difference lies in the fact that at the same time it does not separate itself from others. Although he is satisfied with himself, he is not inclined to judge others (unless they belong to a certain narrow category of people towards which he has developed a prejudice).

On the contrary, he is usually tolerant and receptive, easily adopting other people's values. Unlike Natrum muriaticum, which deeply suppresses its feelings and desires, but on the surface can suppress others, Phosphorus loves and accepts itself in the same way as everyone else it knows. Like Sulfury love, its love is very unreliable in a practical sense, but for the Phosphorus individual who feels it, it is very real.

One of the most refreshing qualities of Phosphorus is his tendency to say what he thinks. He may remain silent if he doesn't like you, but he is unlikely to put on a false front of affability, unlike most other types. In the same way, he will not be shy if he wants to demonstrate his love or friendly disposition. Phosphorus' feelings are the most transparent, but they are also the most unstable, and their openness does not harm their owner. “Private life” is a concept that these people do not understand in most cases.

Phosphorus cannot hide anything, either walking naked around the apartment in the presence of children, or telling a stranger the details of his personal life. When a Phosphorus woman reveals the most intimate details to a listener, she expects interest on his part, however, if she receives indifference in response, she will shrug her shoulders in bewilderment and decide that in front of her, apparently, is a complete idiot. If Ignatia or Natrum muriaticum had been in her place, they would have been mortally offended by such a “betrayal.”

Fuzzy thinking and difficulty identifying

A weak sense of self, which allows the Phosphorus individual to perceive the colors of the surrounding world so childishly, on the other hand brings them some vagueness of self-identification. Phosphorus is like a psychological sponge, absorbing all sensory, emotional and intellectual impulses from external environment much less picky than any other type. Constantly changing external flows of impressions and emotions do not allow him to find a stable psychological center. This sensitivity of Phosphorus has immediate and far-reaching consequences. Immediately, the individual may be completely overwhelmed by new and exciting thoughts (especially if they are wonderful or threatening) or intense but transient emotions.

At these moments for Phosphorus there is no past, no future, no himself - there is only a huge all-consuming emotion or thought that deprives him of a sense of perspective. To come to his senses, such a person needs several minutes, and maybe more. For example, if Phosphorus has fallen in love, he is in a constant state of stupefaction, in which all concrete impressions dissolve or which colors everything in pink color, which is why even a tax receipt will glow pink, like a holiday card, and a pimple on his beloved’s nose will only add charm to her in his eyes. Likewise, a threat to his own safety or the safety of his loved ones puts him in a state of constant anxious anticipation, which makes even a kitten seem dangerous to him. Such an instantaneous “flooding” of the weak personal core of Phosphorus usually does not last long and either, decreasing, passes into a state of relative stability in which the individual can think coherently, or is replaced by another, but equally intense impression due to changing circumstances.

It is not surprising that as a result Phosphorus has a tendency towards periodic intellectual and emotional exhaustion(Kent: "Mental Prostration"), when the individual falls into a zombie-like state of apathy in which he either does not want to do anything at all, or acts as if in a dream, functioning on "autopilot" until after some time he comes to his senses and will not gain the ability to think normally (Kent: “As in a dream”).

The long-term consequences of the impressionability of Phosphorus lie in his tendency to take on the “I” of others and pass them off as his own. We all grow up in certain environments that shape our personality to some extent, and tend to adopt many of the habits and attitudes of our parents, but Phosphorus is more malleable in this sense than others.

For example, a Phosphorus teenager can unconditionally adopt from their parents all their aspirations and views, while their peers are already beginning to distinguish many of the excesses and shortcomings of their mothers and fathers, growing out of a period of blind acceptance. A good example is the teenager Phosphorus, who grew up in a religious family. Regardless of the particular form of religion, Phosphorus will be a model of orthodoxy, asking much less questions than his peers of any other constitutional type (with the possible exception of Pulsatilla).

Likewise, the Phosphorus child adopts all the moral principles and political sympathies of his parents, as if making a copy of them. If the parents were moralists, he will become a moralist. If they were bandits, he will also take the path of crime. Since parents generally tend to think that they are right about everything and insist on this, the Phosphorus child grows up in the absolute confidence that his parents are right about everything. The terrible realization that parents, it turns out, can also be wrong comes to the typical Phosphorus individual much later than to representatives of other constitutional types, and this realization can become so frightening for him that he will never be able to fully believe it.

After all, Phosphorus is so accustomed to merging with his beliefs that being left without them is like being left without support during a hurricane. Moreover, this does not mean that all Phosphorus are rigid and have narrow views. If their parents were open-minded and flexible, they adopt this quality. But if parents are prone to rigid and one-sided views, their Phosphorus children find themselves in a somewhat difficult position.

They adopt many of the straightforward views of their parents, but they are uncomfortable with them, because by nature they are warm and spontaneous people, and this human warmth usually turns out to be in sharp contradiction with the perceived severity of their parents. Eventually they tend to soften the more rigid parental principles (for example, never borrow or lend), although they still remain true to some of them in theory and others in practice.

An excellent illustration of the Phosphorus individual, torn between his rigid upbringing and his natural, spontaneous nature, is the image of Oscar Hopkins in Peter Carey's tragicomedy Oscar and Lucinda. Oscar is the son of a rigid evangelical preacher living in nineteenth-century Cornwall. One day, his father caught young Oscar while he was trying Christmas pudding - a completely unacceptable delicacy in the eyes of a Puritan - and hit the child on the head with all his might, forcing him to spit out everything that was in his mouth.

Oscar grew up under the influence of his father's strict spirit, firmly believing that he must reject pleasure in order to earn the favor of his heavenly father. At Oxford, he leads the life of an ascetic, studying theology and wanting to become a priest, avoiding other students in every possible way so that they do not tempt him with worldly pleasures. Despite his impeccable lifestyle, Oscar was rejected by his rigid father for converting from the Plymouth Brethren to the Anglican Church.

This happened when Oscar was about twelve years old and it seemed to him that such severity of his father would hardly have pleased God. In typical Phosphorus fashion, he decided to rely on a “sign from above” in his choice of faith. He began to throw stones back, drawing a cross behind him, made up of different squares, each of which personified a different Christian denomination. The stones fell time after time into the square corresponding to the Anglican Church.

Convinced that his father was “wrong,” Oscar began to suffer from terrible visions of the hellish torments to which his father was doomed, and then ran away from home, taking refuge with a local Anglican priest, who always had a too gloomy appearance even for Oscar. Although Oscar rejected his father's too harsh religion, he never changed his father's Puritan approach to life. However, unlike his father Sulfur, he never tried to impose his ascetic lifestyle on others, to whom he never brought anything but light and warmth.

Oscar lost the ability to pay for his studies at Oxford. He waited for several weeks for the problem to be somehow resolved (Phosphorus is often inclined to hope for a good outcome when faced with difficulties), and the solution unexpectedly came in the form of a comrade who invited him to the races. Oscar knew nothing about gambling, except that it did not fit in well with ascetic morality.

However, he was suddenly overwhelmed by the conviction that it was the Lord who had given him a chance to earn money to study to become a priest.

He felt unshakably confident that this particular horse would win, bet all his money on it, and his intuition was rewarded. This situation is an excellent example of the ability of the Phosphorus mind to adapt to circumstances; Oscar did not change any of his high principles, but he concluded that in this matter the purpose for which he decided to gamble was higher than the fact that gambling is a thing in itself. immoral.

From then on, he led an exceptionally pious life, spending his winnings only on tuition fees, accommodation and meager food, and giving the rest to the poor. His actions, for all their extremes, are completely consistent with the typical Phosphorus enormous faith in God (or fate, etc.). This belief is a comfort to Phosphorus individuals who are characterized by both a careless attitude towards money and a lack of greed. They are more focused on spiritual or emotional goals, or simply go with the flow, trusting that God will take care of their tomorrow.

The image of Oscar Hopkins is written by the author so authentically and realistically that one can notice one hundred and one qualities typical of Phosphorus in him. Although Oscar initially decided to play the races solely to pay for his education, he was captivated by the excitement of gambling, and in the end he could not resist. Many Phosphorus are prone to developing dependence on something, however, if in a Natrum muriaticum individual addiction helps him hide from suppressed pain, then Phosphorus does not have this (with the exception of certain individuals who are maximally mired in their addiction), he simply cannot resist the desire to relive the ecstasy that addiction brings him.

Oscar is extremely soft and refined, but at the same time quite timid. He is one of the more introverted Phosphorus individuals, and his upbringing was based on fear. Phosphorus can be either lively, playful and extroverted, or timid and quiet, depending on how scared he was as a child and how scared he feels at the moment. Even the quietest Phosphorus, such as Oscar, can indulge in wild despair when nothing can support their spirit, and they themselves are unable to hide their feelings.

I was amazed that almost an entire chapter of the book described Oscar's admiration for the phosphorescent sea. Perhaps the author understood homeopathy, or perhaps this is an amazing example of “synchronicity.” This book, in my opinion, should be read by everyone who studies homeopathy, since in it one can find not only a very detailed description of the personality of Phosphorus-Oscar, but also an equally reliable portrait of the proud and timid Silicea-Lucinda Lepreistreier.

One reason Phosphorus subjects have difficulty defining their own self is their tendency to identify with other people, especially parents or partners. Phosphorus is prone to exaggeration, and if he loves a person (or an abstract principle), he will place him on a pedestal, desperately resisting attempts by other people to throw him off there.

His identification with another person leads to complete copying of the opinions, manners and even habits of the one whom he admires and respects. Phosphorus can identify itself not only with a specific person, but also with the whole organization or religion. In this case, he becomes the most ardent and fanatical member of the group, instantly and without any verification rejecting any arguments that question the tenets of faith or the general line of the party.

Just as Phosphorus makes idols of those he loves (or at least idealizes), he exaggerates the faults of those he does not like. For example, if his father was harsh and cruel, young Phosphorus may initially seek his approval, loving him, regardless of his personal qualities, but in the end even Phosphorus cannot stand the constant insults and becomes bitter, after which his father becomes for him the personification of everything that exists in the world of evil, and all its good qualities cease to be perceived.

But even so, Phosphorus can hold onto the hope for decades that the father will return to the mother, and she will magically transform him into the loving father he never was. Phosphorus cannot tolerate disharmony and often takes on the role of peacemaker, sometimes sacrificing his own interests for the sake of family peace.

Phosphorus is very generalistic. The river of life along which he floats (sometimes like a boat without a rudder or sails) blinds him with a myriad of different facets and aspects that are difficult for him to perceive individually, and he prefers to make broad generalizations in order to cope with the flow of external impressions. He relies on his own previous experience, trying to fit subsequent new information into the same old pattern, without trying to go into subtleties and catch the difference.

If, for example, you ask a Phosphorus girl what she thinks about Russians, she will blurt out without thinking: “They are wonderful, sincere people!” I know one person from Russia, he has an absolutely inimitable smile!” If she were Natrum muriaticum, she would have said something completely different: “I don’t know, I only had one Russian acquaintance, so it’s difficult for me to draw any conclusions.” And Lycopodium would try to hide his ignorance of the issue behind abstract reasoning about the Slavic soul, using fragmentary information gleaned from books.

The basis for the vagueness of thinking that is so characteristic of Phosphorus (and different from the eccentricity, fragmented thinking of Argentum nitricum) is the lack of a strong inner core.

Like my Russian translator friend, many Phosphorus individuals can discern certain things quite clearly, functioning effectively in certain areas, but the rest of their lives are a continuous wandering in unknown seas. For example, Phosphorus may have no idea about the state of his health, the state of his finances, the date of birth of his wife, but at the same time he can cope quite well with the work of a school teacher.

Like Sulfur, Phosphorus tends to ignore details (though unlike Phosphorus, Sulfur can know the smallest details of the subject that interests him at the moment), as well as questions of practical necessity. Phosphorus is not as intellectual as Sulfur, and is more likely to lead a frivolous and charming existence than to think about big ideas. (One is different from the other, like Peter Pan is from Einstein.)

Being open to a huge number of influences, Phosphorus often suffers from some absent-mindedness. While Sulfur will ignore practical matters, devoting all his energies to one interest that takes over all his thoughts, Phosphorus flutters like a butterfly from one passing interest to another, content with only a superficial acquaintance with each of them.

He may have a fairly keen mind and ability, for example in mathematics, but he is very intellectually undisciplined (Kent: "Hesitant, doubtful") and is usually one of the most restless and impatient students (except when the subject of his studies matches his soaring in kind - in a ballet or art school).

Confusion in the head sometimes leads to the fact that Phosphorus begins to look absent-minded outwardly. For example, a Phosphorus nurse, despite all her diligence, may well confuse the prescriptions or write the pulse rate of another patient in the temperature column in the medical history. Phosphorus usually has enough mental clarity to get the job done, but he can never avoid hundreds of small mistakes. I have encountered Phosphorus individuals who deliberately exaggerated their absent-mindedness to justify their mistakes: One of my patients began to get confused about details when he wanted to hide his embarrassment about something, and one of my Phosphorus friends always began to muddy the waters and jump from one topic to another when I wanted to divert attention from an unpleasant fact.

Phosphorus is hypersensitive to a variety of influences, but his confusion of thinking is particularly aggravated when he is under stress. An upset Phosphorus individual may do downright stupid things, such as putting clothes in the dishwasher and plates in the washing machine, and when he discovers his mistake, he may burst out laughing or start crying.

Fear and anxiety

The degree to which an adult is susceptible to fear depends both on his constitution and on how safe the environment and the environment in which he grew up are. Phosphorus is more sensitive to the environment than many other people, and in childhood any disharmony in family relationships could provoke the appearance of anxiety, and if this situation persists for a long time, anxiety becomes part of the personality of such a person.

It is precisely the excessive openness of Phosphorus to anyone external influences combined with unclear self-identification makes him especially vulnerable. Since Phosphorus is constantly bombarded from all sides by various impressions, causing a thick mixture of varied emotions, he is prone to panic periodically when it all becomes too much and when he can no longer withstand the endless kaleidoscope of thoughts and feelings swirling in his soul .

Thus, Phosphorus is especially prone to anxiety when something is pressing on him, as well as when he is excited or finds himself in a new environment. The Phosphorus individual, unlike Calcarea Carbonica or Pulsatilla, is an adventurer at heart and takes every opportunity to plunge into something new, but when he plunges into the unknown, anxiety may replace the pleasure of new sensations. This is especially true for children

Phosphorus. Like Ignatia children, they are very excitable and in their excitement can go beyond what they can handle. For example, the child Phosphorus invited a lot of new acquaintances to his birthday. At first he has fun, excited by communication with new friends, screams, dances and shows tricks. Then he becomes oversaturated with excitement (Kent: "Excitement to the point of ecstasy"), and at the slightest change of environment his adaptive abilities cannot withstand. For example, the appearance of a clown invited to congratulate him on his birthday causes fear instead of pleasant surprise. If he had not been so overexcited, he would not have been afraid, but in the current situation he can no longer digest the new impression and rushes to his mother in a panic, sobbing.

The adult Phosphorus is also prone to anxiety when his life begins to get hectic. During such periods, he begins to look for problems that in reality do not exist. For example, on the eve of a wedding, a young man may begin to panic about getting hit by a car, or the fear that his bride has stopped loving him creeps into his soul (Kent: “Afraid of imaginary things”). The next day his fear may seem funny to him, or he may forget about it altogether, but while he feels this fear, it gives him many unpleasant minutes.

Likewise, during periods of stress, small problems in the eyes of Phosphorus can grow to gigantic proportions. The imagination gets out of control and ceases to obey common sense. A Phosphorus woman, when faced with difficulties at work, may begin to fear that her dyspepsia is the first sign of cancer (Kent: "Fear of impending illness"), and this fear torments her until the difficulties at work are resolved, after which it suddenly disappears . A Phosphorus man, desperately trying to win the heart of the girl he loves, may fall into a panic that she has met someone else if she postpones the date for some reason. This fear haunts him until he meets her and is convinced that this is not so. Although Phosphorus is generally inclined towards optimism (often excessively), under the influence of stress he begins to see everything in gloomy colors and expect the worst, which inevitably provokes anxiety.

Fortunately, the fears of Phosphorus are much easier to calm than those of other constitutional types, with just a little encouragement. Lacking reliable boundaries, Phosphorus from time to time needs someone else to protect him from worries, to tell him that everything is okay. Words of encouragement and consolation are provided from. Phosphorus has a huge positive effect, just as the slightest danger can have an equally pronounced negative effect on it. Impressiveness and spontaneity can be both a blessing and a curse for Phosphorus.

When alone, Phosphorus is more prone to fear. The presence of people (even strangers) stabilizes him in the present, serves as support for him and does not allow him to give in to imaginary fears. The Phosphorus individual, when left alone at night or in the dark, is most apt to suffer from anxiety (Kent: "Fear Alone", "Fear in the Dark"). Phosphorus women more men prone to feelings of anxiety, especially at night.

Their rich imagination works with redoubled force at night, causing the slightest rustle or shadow to instantly turn into ghosts and monsters (Kent: “As soon as he turns his eyes, he sees faces”). Phosphorus, like Medorrhinum, has a fear of spirits and ghosts, and they are much more inclined than other people to believe in their real existence, but, on the other hand, in a number of cases Phosphorus, again like Medorrhinum, can really perceive signals from the “otherworldly” world,” and then this will already relate to the field of clairvoyance.

Phosphorus individuals often suffer from hypochondria. Any minor symptom or minor ailment may be perceived by them as a sign of an incurable disease, especially when they are going through a “troubling” period in their lives. In other periods, Phosphorus is characterized by blissful ignorance of one’s own health or complete confidence that it is in perfect order (unlike the Arsenicumalbum individual, whose fear of death and illness never goes away for a long time, then in good periods). In addition, in Phosphorus, anxiety about health is quickly reduced by the calming words of the doctor, unlike Arsenicum album, which is inclined to not believe the doctor in this regard.

One of the most characteristic fears of Phosphorus is the inexplicable fear that something terrible is about to happen. Without a doubt, this state is entirely the fruit of an imagination filled with fear, on which are layered memories of previous good intuition. Since intuition has never failed before, any premonition of danger is perceived more acutely.

(The fact that in fact most of the previous premonitions have not been confirmed at all does not usually occur to Phosphorus.) In this state, Phosphorus individuals are very difficult to calm down, since they are confident that they perceive the future better than others, and are confident in the reality of their bad premonitions. Nevertheless, as soon as they relax and the stressful period in their life passes, their fear will disappear (unless it is the real voice of intuition - then the fear remains, no matter what).

Because Phosphorus individuals are so vulnerable and so exposed to the dangers of the world, those who have experienced much suffering sometimes become suspicious, even to the point of exhibiting paranoid tendencies. If, for example, the mother was cruel to the Phosphorus child, then, as he grows up, he begins to treat any person as a potential enemy, especially women who have a physical resemblance to his mother (Kent: “Suspiciousness”).

If, as a result of the suffering experienced, paranoid traits arise in a Natrum muriaticum individual, then he becomes prickly, snapping at every imaginary insult. In contrast, the suspicious Phosphorus becomes very timid. If he feels aggression, he does not bristle, like Natrum muriaticum, but goes to a safe place, or at least tries to behave as inconspicuously as possible to avoid a possible attack. If Phosphorus feels that there is no one around who can protect him, he can panic and completely withdraw into himself, numb with horror. Since in this isolation there is no one to calm him down and reduce these paranoid fears, they usually tend to intensify. However, Phosphorus rarely develops psychotic level paranoia.

When Phosphorus feels threatened, he may begin to use "magical thinking" to protect himself from fear, much like children do. If he is religious, he may begin to pray intensely, and if not, he may invent his own protective ritual. For example, when feeling danger, a Phosphorus woman can close her eyes and count from ten to one in reverse order, after which the feeling of danger magically goes away.

Either she can wear various amulets, amulets, “lucky” objects, etc. They can be bought by her in appropriate places, or any objects that become a lucky talisman for her acquire this quality. Thus, she may collect colored shells or wear an amulet with a lock of hair from a former lover, which “protects her from evil.” Phosphorus is not placed by Kent under the heading "Superstitious", but in reality this drug should appear in it in the third degree. Peter Carey, in his exceptionally authentic character of Phosphorus-Oscar from the short story “Oscar and Lucinda,” describes how he, once on board the ship, in horror clutches in his hand a piece of his amniotic membrane (in which he was born and which was preserved by his father), thus trying to protect himself from fear of the sea.

Although Phosphorus is predisposed to many fears, its active spirit, extroversion and tendency to enjoy life often predominate, at least in outward manifestations, presenting an image of a carefree, joyful lucky person. This external impression is in most cases quite truthful, since the emotions of Phosphorus are extremely “transparent”.

Most Phosphorus individuals are prone to frequent but transient outbursts of anxiety that do not suppress their cheerful spirit for long. A small number of Phosphorus who have experienced too many difficulties may remain in a state of anxiety most of the time, but even these "wounded" Phosphorus spirits, when placed in a warm, loving atmosphere, thaw out quite quickly, unlike representatives of more introverted types such as Ignatia or Natrum muriaticum.

Appearance

In full accordance with the charming nature of the Phosphorus personality, the appearance of these people is also often distinguished by beauty and attractiveness. The body is usually thin, elongated and very flexible, even to the point of hypermobility of the joints. The limbs are usually long and graceful, like those of dancers, but not as fragile as those of Silicea. The pose is usually characterized by relaxation, freedom, and movements - by effortless grace. (However, there is also a slightly different variety of Phosphorus individuals - thin, lanky and clumsy, similar to newborn foals.)

The physique of Phosphorus is very similar to that of Tuberculinum, a type very close to it. Freckles and sunken areas are very typical for both types. rib cage. However, Phosphorus is characterized by greater gracefulness, while Tuberculinum's physique is more "wiry". The Phosphorus face usually has quite distinctive features. The first thing that attracts attention is the eyes, which are usually very large and framed by long eyelashes, giving their owner an attractive, innocent look. The skin tone is usually very soft and pleasant, even in men, and the skin feels silky to the touch. The contours of the face are rather thin than round, and its shape approaches a triangle, with a pointed chin and a wide forehead.

Phosphorus usually has a fairly wide mouth (reflecting his open nature), with a graceful line of lips. The teeth tend to be large and protruding, with the top row of teeth being somewhat protruding and pointing forward. All Phosphorus have something mischievous about them, and men of this type have a slight touch of femininity. The hair is usually straight and silky, often light brown or reddish, although it can be light and even black.

Famous Phosphorus personalities include actresses Michelle Pfeiffer and Julia Roberts, as well as actor Martin Short. Most likely, Australian supermodel Il MacPherson and Julia Roberts' ex-husband Lyle Lovet also belong to this type, having the typical very wide mouth, as well as the external awkwardness that is quite common among Phosphorus individuals.
