light

[Lisa Barrett]

Dear Rochelle,

I am sorry I miswrote the rubric. It should have been Rage from Shining
Objects not rage in the Sunshine. I use this rubrics metaphorically, thus
being able to use rubrics which otherwise are hardly ever used. A patient
is very unlikely to say they get in a rage when they see a shining object.
In the same way I use rubrics like Fear cannot endure the looking glass or
brilliant objects and Fear of mirrors in a room. These refer in a
metaphoric sense to anyone who highlights that persons behaviour or mirrors
it. In the latter rubric we have Stramonium which has many sensitivities
and fears around light, but on the other hands Desires the Light but also
Shuns the Light. We also see Stramonium in the rubric Longing for
Sunshine Light and Society. This is a strong need for Stram because of its
Fear of the Dark.

By using the rubrics metaphorically I have often used Stramonium with
amazing results, in cases where I would never previously have thought it
indicated.
