They don't.
It was you who suggested the repertory was wrong and needed changing.
I discussed why not to change it.
I advocate no changes to the repertory as regards its documentation of Pulsatilla pathology.
But the fact is that repertories ONLY document pathology. They do not document normal states (it was never their intention) - but all remedies have normal states and which I study via genetics of innate constitutional types.
So my descriptions flesh out the minimal concepts already in the repertory to describe the healthy versions of a remedy's innate (inherited and present at birth) constitutional type, rather than changing them.
The normal state knowledge also helps us to see the pathological state in proper context.
CONTEXT:
The same rubric (vanity in the previous example) can be subtly but importantly different, in different contexts.
It is not so much the symptom of constantly checking appearance in the mirror that matters but WHY it is done.
Fastidiousness with appearance - and caring what others will think - are very different reasons for this.
In the case of puls, the repertory gives lots of PULS reasons to care how they look, all of which are to do with their shyness, too-serious sense of responsibiity and timidity and fear of being criticized....looking acceptably turned out being a way to avoid criticism, inability to express oneself in other ways etc:
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - rudeness of others
MIND - ANTICIPATION - stage fright
MIND - ANXIETY - beside oneself from anxiety; being
MIND - DELUSIONS - appreciated, she is not
MIND - FEAR - crowd, in a
MIND - FEAR - opinion of others, of
MIND - FEAR - undertaking anything; of
MIND - FORSAKEN feeling - isolation; sensation of
MIND - JESTING - joke; cannot take a
MIND - OFFENDED, easily
SO in Puls, far from being a way to attract attention, it is to avoid criticism as Puls cannot stand up for themsleves as a truly vain person does - they actually give force to the opioin of others over her/his own, wanting acceptance - opposite of vainly calling the shots by having confidence to do so.
Puls cares so much about others that he/she cares to please them with how she looks:
Puls rubrics:
MIND - CARES, full of - others, about
MIND - PLEASING - desire to please others
MIND - RESPONSIBILITY - taking responsibility too seriously
MIND - EXPRESSING oneself - cannot express oneself (verbally)
If he/she was trying to ATTRACT attention rather than to please and avoid criticism, this PULS rubric would not make sense:
MIND - PERFUME - aversion to use perfume
nor this one:
MIND - INDIFFERENCE - joy of others; to
Conclusion: PULS is trying to avoid criticism - not trying to be superior.
These are very different motivations behind the high attention to appearance.
This is ALL from the repertory - (none of it from my research which merely explains it better by understanding normal PULS over pathological PULS.)
Namaste,
Irene
