What is ICT?

[Carol Orr]

I use the Way of the Warrior form of numerology...and under that
system...Samuel is a five. It is all about freedom...feeling free. They are so
into freedom that if they don't have anything to fight against to gain
freedom... they will make up restrictions in their lives so they can push
against them.

Irene, what is ICT...your description of Sulphur and Hahnemann fits my
husband to a tee...and he is also a five. In fact, and by coincidence, I just
gave my husband lM sulphur knowing it would either cure him of his egotism or
he would die...a win-win situation for me as my son said. The very next day he
made dinner for me and cleaned up two rooms in the basement and the garage
that were filled to the max with his stuff, throwing much into the garbage and
organizing the rest of the things. Hallelujah!.

It is the "Innate Constitutional Type" defined by a specific set of inherited traits for an individual.
It is a system I developed after studying genetics and seeing that inherited traits are not randomly inherited from the available parental gene pairs, but are inherited in discrete sets. I used to call them cans. Genes come in cans and you only get one can. Either you inherited the traits in the "baked beans" can, or the "guavas in syrup" can, but nobody inherits part beans and part guavas mixed in a can. There are only so many heritable trait SETS - ICTs - no in-betweens as woudl happen if genes really were randomly selected from parental gene pairs.

So... The ICT includes more than DNA. It includes physical traits, the way one moves/walks etc, the illness susceptibilities, personality adn character, and every trait that is inherited, including those that are different between two "identical" twins (and they are often different ICTs.)

I figured much later how genetics and homeopajthy intersect. (I studied gene sets as a geneticist, mostly in cats but noting all species have the same sets - before studying homeopathy). The gene can sets, which I call an ICT set, each happen to coincide with ONE homeopathic remedy .... kindof amazing.....and which I call the ICT remedy.
Hence my description of Sulph as an example.
SUL people/animals/plants are strongly built, short heavyish neck, wide chest but not deep front to back, medium large people, with substantial boning. They do not mind the cold, but suffer badly in the heat.
They get thirsty and need and take in twice what other ICTs have for hydration (and it is not kidney issues that cause it). Food that is more liquid (juices, sauces etc) is usually preferred to help this.
I suspect the 5 is a coincidence. I have found no correlation between birth signs and ICT for example. I have not looked for numerology correlation.
There are a lot of ICTs, only a few numbers or astrological signs..... any correlation would need to be a one-to-many relationship. (One life path number for many ICTs )
LOL...glad it was positive:-)

Namaste,
Irene

OMG!!!! Carol, I can so relate to this post! LOL I have always come back to Sulphur for my husband.....but something is blocking the action, I have tried low, high and and everything in between potencies. I started with Sulph., then went on to other remedies, with limited results. Now, again, I am back to square one.....I never give him a remedy because it will make my life better, I know I can’t be angry when I give him a remedy......sigh....
Congratulations on getting 2 rooms and a basement organized......I can only dream...

I was also wondering what ICT stood for, I should have known....Irene, you saved one of my cats with a post about this subject many years ago. I printed out the post back then and kept reading it....I finally gave my Mo kitty the remedy for long type individuals....it worked instantly! Everything about this cat is long, except for her face, it is somewhat flat, but her tail is so long she has to curl it, she curls it downward, which is strange.....like a chameleon. Anyways, I always save everything you post on this subject and study it.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

So the ICT traits in the can....so if your mother had a bean can and your
father had a syrup can....you can inherit the beans or the syrup or a whole
new can...but not a combination of the syrup and the beans? If I walk like my
father but can imitate people like my mother....a whole new can? Not sure I
get this...in terms of susceptibility. I am no smart enough to ask the right
question...but to the underlying question has to do with is there some
predictability with our parent's traits? My brother and father are both blood
type A but my mother and I are 0-negative....but the brother and the mother
are more alike and the father and daughter are more alike. Huh?

Dear Carol,
It is not so simple because the number of possible cans is very high.
I suspect there has to be something present at time of conception to direct a specific set of genes to a new individual - maybe the presence of its frequency somehow.

It is easier to study this in a species that has multiple births, like cats. You get far more examples.
What I do see is that there are many more of some ICTs than others. It is all very logical. we need only a few of some persojnality types, for example we do not want everyone to be an inventor. We do not need too many inventors. We need a lot of implementors. We need some health professoionals but not all, and so on.
We do get the correct ratios of the types needed to make the world go round nicely.

Seldom is there a kitten in a large litter that has the same ICT as one of the parents. But if that is going to happen, it is more likely to be Lyc, Ars, Sep or Phos type.
Most often a litter of kittens will be all different ICT types, no two the same and not one the same as a parent.
AN example may illustrate:
I had a Puls female, mated to a Sulf male. They had wonderful kittens as these are two very different ICTs with very different characteristics. For example
PULS deep chest, meticulous groomer with not a hair out of place, a great parent
mated to
SUL wide shallow chest, and - "what is grooming?" very sociable loves attention, clever,

Their kittens first litter:

A cream cameo COLCH ICT......big cat, good groomer, chest quite wide and deep
A silver tabby PLAT ICT............huge cat, very sociable, clever, loves outdoors
A silver tabby SIL ICT...............fine boned small cat, clever
A tortie PHOS ICT.....................medium fine boned, med-narrow chest, social butterfly
A black IGN ICT........................medium heavy cat, loves attention, depressed if repressed, loves outdoors

SO you see you'd really have to hubt for much cokmonalituy between any kitten and any parent.
It is because there are so many possible cmbinations to make a can.

Even where some siilarities exist, there are differences.
For example Plat hates to be cooped up in a house. They feel claustrophobic there.
IGN also hates to be cooped up in a house - but becasue they feel depressed if they can not get light and air.

Each ICT has specific characteristics but the reason for them is also part of the ICT and will differ for the same characteristic in another ICT.

Another example:
Sul and Ign both want attention.
Sul wants it to be admired for their clever ability as a tinkerer.
Ign wants it in order to feel cheerful and to communicate.

For example my current cat is an Ign.
She is the one trying to teach me to speak cat.
THis is generally to do with a similar hip width and leg to trunk ratio and maybe a similar butt shape:-)
For exampe a Lyc walks with a swagger, putting one foot in front of the other like a model. It has to do with their very narrow hips and long torso.
Phos walks in large strides, or actually jogs or trots in preference. they are light on their feet.
Puls is very heavy boned and big, wants their feet planted firmly, so they walk with very solid steps.
Ign almost cannot walk they must run.

My Ign cat for example, never walks through a door. She goes back some way to get a running start and goes through at Mach 10.
When her breeder was supposed to send me a photo when she was litle, she said she could not get one as she was never still enough, always moving like greased lightning.
Two brothers I know are both Ars types. They are always getting mistaken one for the other from the back, becasue of how they walk, and the lack of a butt.
Very likely yes.
No - as in the cat example above.
Some trait are there, but they are part of a totally separate ICT.
Yet ALL members of that ICT will have all its traits (in any species or breed).

Example
ALL the Puls types are big boned heavy walkers.
ALL the Phos types are light on their feet.
ALL the Ign types love to run.
ALL the Lyc types walk model-style swagger.
ALL the Sepia types walk a bit skew.
Same with physical traits.
ALL the Sul types have short necks, and wide chests, and are heavier than they look.
ALL the Sil types are light boned, small in stature and lighter than they look.
All the Plat types are extremely large, but not with big feet
ALL the Puls types are very large (not as big as Plat) including boning and large feet.
and so on.
Funny that - same in my family, except I can not remember if my brother and dad are both A or both B.
With cats the majority are type A with a few B's and a very rare case of AB (should be called C as it is not A and B combined as in humans) and it is hard to see a blood type correlation. They also have multupe blood subtypes.
I blood typed my own cats so I know their ICT-blood type but most people do not.
The one AB I had was a Sep, but I also has a Sep who was type B, and they were related.
My Lach cat was a type B blood. (Type A is dominant in cats, there is no type O)
My type B and/or AB cats all had relatively short torso and two color-dilution genes.
Not enough cats though to make any conclusions about ICT adn blood type.
Same in my family
But the ICTs of the more alike ones are not the same.

There are so MANY different ICT types, I am not surprised they are so often not the same as the most similar parent.

Namaste,
Irene
