Resisting Evil Shannon Anac. answer

[Liz Lalor]

Notable Characteristics of Anacardium
? "Tries to prove himself." [Vermeulen] Anacardium feel that at
some point in their childhood, they didn't count. Anacardium fear being
ignored by the world.
? "He is at odds with the world, and has little confidence in
himself being able to accomplish what is demanded of him." P.279.
[Hahnemann].
? Anacardium suffer from anxiety about being judged or found out to
be flawed.
"Internal anguish, which did not allow him to rest, he troubled himself
about every trifle, as if it would cause great injury, with solicitude about
the future." P.279. [Hahnemann].
? Frodo is quick to turn from a nice gentle Hobbit and unleash his
"hatred," [Kent] vengeful "rage" [Kent] when anyone threatens his control
and possession of the Ring. It is only when he is enchanted and under the
spell of the Anhalonium Elven Queen Galadriel that he is able to relinquish
his desire and hold over the Ring. Throughout the journey as they draw
nearer to the Fires of Mount Doom Frodo looses his ability to resist the
power of the Ring. Gandalf warns the Ring will give power according to the
measure of its possessor. Whenever his trusted servant Sam asks to help with
the burden of the Ring, Frodo is quick with his rage and paranoiac cruel
attacks of Sam in defense of his now "precious" Ring. Frodo on the chasm of
Mount Doom declares, "I will not do this deed. The Ring is mine!" P.265
[J.R.R Tolkien] The Return of the King.
"Anger from contradiction - could have stabbed anyone. Very easily offended,
takes everything in bad part." [Vermeulen]
"Timorous in all actions; he views everything more anxiously and timidly,
always thinks of being surrounded by enemies, then he becomes hot, his blood
seems to boil in his chest." P.279. [Hahnemann].
? Frodo early on in the Quest becomes aware of the struggle
within himself over the power of the Ring. When Boromir falls to his desire
for the Ring, Frodo becomes aware he needs to make the journey alone but
with this realization, also comes the realization that he is also confronted
by the struggle for power and evil within himself. Frodo questions for the
first time his own motives. "He heard himself crying out: Never, never! Or
was it: Verily I come, I come to you?...........The two powers strove in
him." P.527. [J.R.R Tolkien] The Fellowship of the Ring.
? Anacardium has the delusion of his name being called. Delusion;
calling his name: [Kent].
The orphaned Frodo by his very nature of not having any status until Bilbo
adopts him, has no confidence in his importance in the world. Frodo says
early on that he sees his role only as a guardian of the Ring and Gandalf is
quick to acknowledge that whatever evil the Ring holds in store for Frodo
"it will be slow, slow to evil, if you keep it with that purpose." P.82.
[J.R.R. Tolkien] The Fellowship of the Ring. Gandalf acknowledges that
within Frodo is a lack of self importance that will hold him safe from the
evil of the Ring.
"These two sides of Anacardium are constantly in opposition to each other:
should he be an angel or a devil." [Sankaran] P.7. "But Anacardium can be
very hard and cruel, and at the same time have a lack of self-confidence."
P.7. [Sankaran].
? Rubric; Cruelty: [Kent].

? Rubric; "Thoughts, two trains of thoughts:" [Kent].

? Rubric; Delusion, as if some one was in, with him: [Kent]
? Anacardium can present with contrasting personality reactions to
criticism. On one hand they can be aggressive and arrogant over defending
their rights, and then on the other hand can fear any authority that
questions their validity.
"Passionate and contrary." "Extremely passionate at a slight offence,
breaking out into violence." P.279. [Hahnemann].
? Frodo is constantly confronted with his fear of not being able to
achieve his Quest, and he is also aware at the same time of the purpose of
his Quest and his responsibility to complete it. Anacardium struggles with
their own fear of not being able to achieve in the world. Yet, Frodo is also
confident and fearful in his offer to the council. Frodo declares to the
secret council in The Fellowship of the Ring he will take the Ring, but also
says "I do not know the way."
? Rubric; Egoism: [Synthesis]

? Rubric; Fear: death, of: [Synthesis]
Elrond, up until that point had rejected every other offer to take the Ring;
"Elrond raised his eyes and looked at him, and Frodo felt his heart pierced
by the sudden keenness of the glance. 'I think that this task is appointed
for you, Frodo; and that if you do not find a way, no one will'." P.355.
[J.R.R. Tolkien] The Fellowship of the Ring.
"They oscillate between aggressive and dependent behaviour. They feel, at
the same time, both strong and weak, dependent and independent, passive and
aggressive." P.77 [Zaren] [Vermeulen].
? Rubric; "Irresolution:" [Kent]
Anacardium suffer with the intense fear of being found out to be
evil - they suffer from anxiety and guilt that drives them to do the "right"
or "good" thing. "I wonder, said Frodo. 'Its my doom, I think, to go to that
Shadow yonder, so that a way will be found. But will good or evil show it to
me?" P.256 [Tolkien] The Two Towers.
? Rubric, Mortification, ailments after: P.68 [Kent].
"He is persuaded by his evil will to do acts of violence and injustice, but
is withheld and restrained by a good will."..."His external voluntary is
consciously excited by external influences, but his real will, in which is
his conscience, restrains that and keeps him from carrying the impulses into
effect. This can only be observed when its action is on a really good man.
He has a controversy when his external will is aroused, but in an evil man
there is no restraint and he will not have this symptom." P.103. [Kent].
? Anacardium will be more sweet and nice than most people, but
it is important to note they are driven by the desire to prove they are
worthy people and by their anxiety about being judged. Galadriel perceives
in Frodo that he can resist the offer of power long enough to be able to
accomplish the mission; the rest of the council of leaders also perceive
that Frodo has one part of his nature that gives him the power to resist the
growing power of the One Ring. Anacardium literally has "two wills, one bad,
one good." [Vermeulen] It is literally the good will within Frodo that can
resist the Ring and is able to push Frodo always onwards towards the Fires
of Mordor.
"Whereas Anacardium is known for its hard-heartedness, cruelty, want of
moral feeling, a compensated Anacardium cannot be cruel even when the
situation demands. He will, perhaps, be unable to kill even an irritating
mosquito." P.7. [Sankaran].
Saruman after being spared by Frodo at the end on the journey comments to
Frodo "Yes, you have grown very much. You are wise, and cruel." P.362 [J.R.R
Tolkien] The Return of the King. In The Two Towers, Frodo makes a momentous
speech to Gollum that even surprises Sam; "there was a look in his face and
a tone in his voice that he had not known before." Frodo tells Gollum, "If
I, wearing it, were to command you, you would obey, even if it were to leap
from a precipice or to cast yourself into the fire. And such would be my
command. So have a care, Sméagol!" Sam notes he had always thought up until
that time that his master's kindness must have also held "a fair measure of
blindness." Gollum is also similarly shocked and falls to the ground
"abashed and terrified." P.305 [Tolkien] The Two Towers. In The Tower of
Cirith Ungol when Sam tells Frodo he has the Ring the reaction from Frodo;
"No you won't, you thief! He panted, staring at Sam with eyes wide with fear
and enmity." P.220. [Tolkien] The Two Towers reveals the dark side of
Anacardium within Frodo; "He has a controversy when his external will is
aroused, but in an evil man there is no restraint and he will not have this
symptom." P.103. [Kent].

being hypervigilant to being criticized or contradicted.

? Anacardium are fastidious about every little detail in case they
have failed to be perfect, and the world finds out they are flawed. Frodo
possesses to the very end the Cancer-Miasms relentless drive of Anacardium
to push, even though he is at the end of the journey physically and mentally
overcome with the heaviness of the burden of carrying the Ring.
? Anacardium suffer from extreme anger and rage from contradiction
in case it proves that something is wrong with them, and therefore they also
struggle to contain their feelings of rage at being criticized.
? Rubric; Destructiveness: emotions; destructiveness from
suppressed: [Synthesis]
This is an important Rubric for Anacardium because; "He takes everything ill
and becomes violent." P.279. [Hahnemann]. And, yet it is as Kent says with
Anacardium; "He is persuaded by his evil will to do acts of violence and
injustice, but is withheld and restrained by a good will." Only when Frodo
is threatened by Gollum or Sam wanting to take the Ring does his lack of
control, or the weakness of his ability to continue to suppress his "fear
and enmity," come to the surface. The most important aspect of Anacardium is
that you will NOT necessarily see this "fear and enmity," unless they are
threatened.
? Frodo when pieced by the knife-stroke of the Black Riders
realized that his senses became more aware and he was able to know the evil
that lay ahead on his journey. Galadriel the Elven Queen warns Frodo about
the power of the Ring and points out to him that he already has developed
the inner sight that comes with its power. Galadriel confronts Frodo with
the acknowledgement that he can already see into the future and see the "Eye
of him that holds the Seven and the Nine." P.481. [J.R.R Tolkien] The
Fellowship of the Ring.
"He mixes up the present with the future." P.281. [Hahnemann].
? Anacardium is often thought to possess auditory clairvoyance that
allows them to see into future events.
? Rubric; Clairvoyance: [Synthesis]
"Anguish and apprehension as of imminent misfortune." P 278. [Hahnemann].
Frodo as the journey progresses becomes increasingly aware of being under
the control of the "eye" of Sauron. Frodo confesses to Sam on Mount Doom, "I
am almost in its power now. I could not give it up, and if you tried to take
it I should go mad." P. 253. [J.R.R Tolkien] The Return of the King.
? Rubric; "Delusion, control under is:" [Kent].

? Rubric; "Delusion separated from the world, that he is:" [Kent]

? Rubric; "Delusion possessed, as if:" [Kent]
Anacardium and Frodo will consequently have the "obstinate" [Kent] drive as
"if possessed" [Kent] to prove their worth as a hero of Middle-earth.
Although Anacardium will eventually fall into the trap of desiring power
because of their desire to prove their worldly worth, they have the good
side to their nature that will be able to resist the power that the Ring is
able to offer far longer than the other three keepers of the Rings of
Power - Gandalf the Great, Galadriel the Elven Queen, and the Elven King
Elrond. Frodo is the savior of Middle-earth even though he would never have
completed the journey if not for the loyal Calcarea carbonica, "magnetized"
[Kent] Sam and the obsessive Mancinella Gollum. It has to be acknowledged
that it was the Anacardium will and drive to succeed that got Frodo to the
Fires of Mount Doom. In The Return of the King P. 251 as Frodo draws near to
the Fires he becomes "much occupied with his burden and with the struggle in
his mind." "Sam guessed that among all their pains he bore the worst, the
growing weight of the Ring, a burden on the body and a torment to his mind."
It is not until Frodo stands on the chasm of Mount doom does the debate come
to and end and the "evil" desire to claim the Ring "as mine!" finally wins.

Frodo it is noted by Sam at the end of the journey drops out of social favor
within the shire, and the fame for the Quest goes more to the two friends
Pippin and Merry. Frodo is haunted by his memories of darkness, and he feels
that he is wounded beyond repair. "I am wounded with knife, sting, and
tooth, and a long burden" P 323. [J.R.R Tolkien] The Return of the King.
Anacardium has one important physical symptom of continual "pressing pain,
as from a plug," [Boericke] that cannot be removed. Frodo is also overcome
with his loss of the Ring, and sinks into an Anacardium melancholic "morose"
[Kent] depression, he laments, "It is gone forever, and now all is dark and
empty." P. 369. [J.R.R Tolkien] The Return of the King. The other
characteristic notable physical characteristic of an Anacardium state is a
weakening of the senses and indistinct vision as if "objects appear too far
off." [Boericke]. At the end of the journey on Mount Doom, "Frodo had not
spoken, but had walked half-bowed, often stumbling, as if his eyes no longer
saw the way before his feet." P. 251. [J.R.R Tolkien] The Return of the
King. Frodo at the end of his journey describes the all consuming affect of
the Ring, "No taste of food, no feel of water, no sound of wind, no memory
of tree or grass or flower, no image of moon or star are left to me." P.
254. [J.R.R Tolkien] The Return of the King. Anacardium can find no peace
inside if they feel they have failed - "Delusion crime, as if he had
committed:" [Kent] Anacardium suffer from the "Delusion that he himself was
dead:" [Kent]. Frodo's wounds do not heal and he can find not rest.
"Low-spirited, disheartened,...No peace. He is separated from the whole
world." [Kent].

This goes back to my questions about how we treat a patient who is currently
taking a drug which is causing side-effects, but which cannot be stopped.
So far you and Joy (the only respondents so far) have both said that the
"constitutional" remedy would be chosen according to those characteristics
and symptoms exhibited *before* the drug began. Then what does any of this
-- traits and behaviors Frodo exhibited while in possession of the ring --
have to do with "his remedy"? I'm baffled.

"Frodo's remedy" can be determined and supported only by examining his
qualities *before* he took possession of the ring, and the book gives us
little of that. (I posted all that I could find, which had mostly to do
with his solitary walks and chatting with elves. However, Anac is under
neither "desire to travel" nor "desire to wander".)

When someone has been on drugs for any length of time the sx of the original
disease become modified and an artificial disease is created. This is why it
is important to go back to when the sx of the prevailing disease began. For
example let's use Rheumatoid Arthritis - after a few years of steroids etc
the person often cannot even remember what the original sx were but it is
important to try and get them to remember.

If the artificial disease has completely taken over, i.e. suppressed the sx
of the original disease, then the picture you will have will be that of a
possible toxic state and this will need to be cleared before you can deal
with the Rheumatoid Arthritis.

I am not sure I am understanding your question about traits and behaviours
but when you finally get back to treating the true and original disease (RA)
you would incorporate into the case all that has contributed to that person
becoming ill, i.e. the causative factors that represent an inability to
adapt. Anything outside of that, in my opinion (and as per the LOTR
discussion) can be misleading, opens up vague areas of interpretation which
lead to judgements being made and loses sight of what needs to be cured.

If you go way beyond that which pertains to a case, or you select sx that
are inappropriate to a case then the simillimum won't be found and it just
makes it harder to find.

If we take absolutely everything in someone's life and link it to their
diseased state it is a bit like saying - we are born needing only one remedy
EVER - maybe that is true, another discussion? Personally, I tend to
separate out wellness and unwellness in case taking.

So, in Frodo's case 'solitary walking' and 'chatting with elves' in my
opinion isn't part of and hasn't contributed to his eventual diseased state
(I do these things all the time )

However, if someone comes to you and tells you how much they need to escape
their demons by solitary walking and about their need to talk to these
little creatures they keep seeing, then that's something else.

back to work, best wishes, Joy
