Hey Prozak, I am not broken, stop trying to fix me!
Crises in our lives usually lead us to better lives. Depression cuts us out of social life, of different people and happenings. It deprives us of opportunities to participate actively in anything we’re doing, and stops us in wrong, inadequate ways of living, in order to prevent us from destroying our lives. Depression literally ties man to bed (sometimes even to a hospital one) so it could make him take his life into his own hands and change it in a positive way.
At that time, we are falling into a very painful and bad mood, we are temporarily losing interest in life and ability to love. We become apathetic.
Sadness or sorrow is a primar emotion which appears as a reaction to the loss of something precious, something of great importance for us. It’s a natural answer to a loss of beloved object and it shouldn’t be considered as a disorder.
Dissapointment is like a chasm between what is expected to happen and what really happens. It appears when the person on whom we projected our expectations behaves completely different wrom what we had expected. In our culture, there is an unwritten rule which tells us to take only pleasent events as positive ones, while everything unpleasent and painful is considered bad. In fact, there is nothing more positive that could possibly happen to us, then facing reality, even if it’s painful or frustrating.
These conditions force us to become a bit isolated, to look at the situation in which we are stuck from a distant point of view, to mourn what we have lost or what we can’t achieve, and to make new plans and accumulate fresh and productive energy. Not every crise means depression, and not all of them need healing. People who have a healthy renewal mechanisms go out of crisis stronger and wiser.
Nat mur is the most popular remedy nowadays. It’s the first choice for healing the depressions which don’t seem to go away. But, the rubric SADNESS contains 625 remedies. This leads us to conclusion that sadness is a really big and important chapter in everyone’s life. But why is the Nat-mur the most prevalent ‘’sad’’ remedy? Let’s start with the rubric
MIND – DELUSIONS – sinking; to be – bridge; stones were sinking under his feet, when crossing a stone
Sometimes it’s hard to find the right words to describe feelings precisely. That’s when we use symbols, that one word or picture which gets broader meaning and sends the right message. The bridge is the connection, transition or phase between two elements, activities or states. It’s also a firm and stable construction which enables us to reach the other side, without the fear and feeling of insecurity. It spreads across the water- the obstacle which separates people and makes things unreachable. Without bridges, we wouldn’t be able to overcome the ’’trouble’’.
Repertorium also offers us these rubrics:
nat-m. | ars. | arg-n. | aur-m-n. | puls. | sep. | staph. | bar-c. | |
4/6 | 3/5 | 3/4 | 3/4 | 3/4 | 3/4 | 3/4 | 3/3 | |
MIND – DESPAIR | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
MIND – HELPLESSNESS; feeling of | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
MIND – PESSIMIST | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
MIND – DELUSIONS – sinking; to be – bridge; stones were sinking under his feet, when crossing a stone | 1 | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
But only the Nat-mur has the feeling that the bridge under his feet sinks. Patient will describe us this feeling in various ways. These are some of them.
’’I applied for a job again. This time a have a great contact, the director himself promised to hire me, but there is always someone with even stronger contact.’’
’’Why am I putting so much effort, when I won’t succeed anyway. Something always happens’’.
’’I never manage to do anything right. Other people are lucky, I can’t seem to succeed even in small things’’
That’s the feeling that everything is in vain. No matter how hard we try, even if it’s certain to happen, something turns bad and he doesn’t believe that he is able to ’’reach the other side’’. We’re not born with this feeling. It appears later in life, after many obstacles and failures.
It’s the conequence of bad experiences in which we classify
– Personal effort which didn’t give us the positive results
– Broken promises
– Circumstances which we weren’t able to change
MIND – DELUSIONS – rocked; one were being – lying down and closing the eyes; when
MIND – GRIEF – deception, from
Recumbency is a position in which body stays still and doesn’t make any effort. It’s the position reserved for relaxation and resting. As we close our eyes, we reduce the number of information we’re receiving. It is well known that we receive the majority of information through the sence of sight.
Swinging is a pleasent feeling. On a physical plan, parents are using it for calming down their children. But we can consider swinging on a mental plan as well. Those are the activities which someone uses to calm down another frustrated peson, or to drag the attention away from the problematic or unpleasent situation.
This rubric conveys us the way Nat-mur feels that he has to be concious and ready for the action all the time, because any second he is not fully concentrated brings the risk of someone trying to mislead him.
– Circumstances we can’t have the influence on, which always happen to him.
MIND – SADNESS – fortune; from reverse of
MIND – UNFORTUNATE, feels
MIND – INSANITY – misfortune after
MIND – DELUSIONS – doomed, being
Fortuna was a Roman goddess who had the ability to control everyone’s destiny and to bring peace and prosperity. She was presented with a helm in her hand- simbolicaly she is controling the destiny, or she stands on a ball to show how unstable happiness can be. Nat-mur feels as if someone is controling his destiny and he believes that there arn’t any good circumstances for him. Even if something good happens, things will turn bad any second. He is a perpetual looser.
MIND – DWELLS – recalls – disagreeable memories
MIND – CHECKING – twice or more; must check
He will recall the unpleasent memories from his past to justify his attitude which tells that nothing in the future is going to be different in a better way. Patinent will declare: ’’That is impossible! Are you sure that is true?!’’
MIND – DELUSIONS – bed – touch the bed when lying; as if she did not
Bed is a place which reduces the tension and gives you release. I would like to stay a little longer on a word ’’TOUCH’’. Through touching we make connection with another person or an object in order to realise some of our current necessities. If we pay attention on ’’as if’’ in this rubric, we’ll see that the certain physical contact with our bed exists, but the person doesn’t feel like he/she is there. We can see that the patient turned down his conciousness and he can’t feel relaxation. Despite the great circumstances, he’s still under a lot of tension and he doesn’t seem to make himself comfortable.
MIND – DELUSIONS – objects; about – different; appear
MIND – DISCONTENTED
MIND – LUDICORUS, things seem
The main point of this rubric is the word ’’DIFFERENT’’. We see that there is an unfullfilled expectation. Something unexpected apears instead of what we wanted to happen. When he gets something, Nat-mur will say: ’’What in a world is this?! That’s not what I wanted!’’
MIND – DESPAIR – pregnancy, during
MIND – CHILDREN – beget and to have children; desire to
MIND – AVERSION – children, to – get children; to – world is so bad; as the
Pregnancy is a period from conception to birth. That’s the period in which yield grows, developes and becomes mature enough to be born. Nat-mur will feel despirite during the pregnancy, both in litteral and metaphorical meaning. There are two strong emotions fighting inside him. First one is a willing for having a child, and the second one is belife how the world is so bad that the child is going to suffer in it.
We can relatively easely recognize this feeling in Nat-mur patients. It’s wrong to think that they will have this feeling only during the pregnancy. It’s overwhelming the whole body of Nat-mur. It doesn’t matter weather it’s a male or a female patient, weather he’s really expecting a baby , some project or an activity which should give him a result. He simply doesn’t expect anything good to happen.
MIND – CONSOLATION – agg.
Consolation means giving up on something unacheived and replacing it with some smaller, more acievable goal. As a helathy defence mechanism, it protects people from suffering, but it requires giving up on something that we can’t achieve. For example, we want to ga on a vacation on some exotic place on the other side of the world, but in time realise how unmanageable that wish is, so we start to think of a simple vacation in a nearby country as a completely satisfactory one. If Nat-mur accepts the consolation, he’ll lose a lot of his image of an unfortunate person which can’t do anything right.
MIND – DESPAIR – perspiration, during
Sweating is a proces which happens as a conequence of our oganism’s work. It’s a symbol for the effort which we put in our work in order to acieve something. In the context of the other rubrics, here we can easily recognize the feeling that even though he’s giving his best, he stays despirit. The idea that we tried hard enough and we deserve the award is deeply rooted in humans nature. If we don’t get the award we deserve, the first thing that we think about is who is to blame, and we always blame the other people for stealing our stuff or rights. But nothing can be stolen before someone owns it completely. You can’t steal something if it doesn’t belong to anyone. In that way, the Nat-mur feels that some things belong to him and he fears that someone could possibly take them away from him, or he feels as if they are already stolen.
MIND – FEAR – robbers, of
MIND – FEAR – robbers, of – night – midnight – waking; on
MIND – FEAR – robbers, of – waking, on
SLEEP – DISTURBED – fear, by – robbers, of
DREAMS – ROBBERS
DREAMS – ROBBERS – menses, during
DREAMS – ROBBERS – sleep, until the house is searched; and cannot
MIND – DELUSIONS – thieves – frightened on waking and thinks dream is true; dreams of robbers – search is made; and will not believe the contrary until
MIND – SEARCHING – thieves, at night for – after having dreamt of them
MIND – DELUSIONS – thieves – seeing
MIND – DELUSIONS – thieves – house, in
Sooner or later, the despiration will spread through his whole being. He will carry the feeling of other people having control over his life, and bringing decisions istead of him and he can’t do anything about that.
MIND – DELUSIONS – head – belongs to another
MIND – DELUSIONS – net; as if in a
Do you remember the story about a little milkmaid? A mother sent her daughter to sell a bottle of milk and to buy something nice for herself with the money she earns. The girl started thinking this way: I’ll sell the milk and buy a hen, which will give a birth to a few chickens. Then I’ll sell those chikens in order to buy a calf. I’ll replace that calf for a bull, and after I sell the bull, I’ll buy a new house…. While she was daydreaming, she tripped on a rock, fell down and broke a bottle with milk.
MIND – PROGRAMMING – everything
Programming means making a plan of actions which will help us to achieve our goal. It differs from planning because plans are some general ideas which are going to be elaborated before their realisation. (Next year I’ll go to Spain. I plan to enroll in the Music academy…) Programming is a reversed proces in which the actions are precisely programmed in order for us to acieve our goals. When we programe something for the first time, it continues flowing all by itself. In this rubric we find two remedies: Arsenicum and Nat-mur. They programe everything, and they expect everything to work out perfectly, just in the way they have planned. In this story, something went wrong. We’re not going to define precisely how realistic their plans were, but that could also be the point of Nat-mur. She tripped on a rock, fell down and spilt the milk. Our first impression is- she wasn’t careful enough. And that’s the key. Nat-mur lacks the attention, feeling of being present here and now, creative adaptation on circumstances. He turned on his programe and if anything bad happens, it’s not his fault. He doesn’t face reality and doesn’t act according them.
Beliefs cause actions, and actions make conditions. Our behaviour and attitude always has it’s meaning, and it never happens without reason. Although it’s often unpleasent, we hold on to our harming beliefs and we continue behaving in the same way. In that way, we’re always creating the same conditions for the same things to happen. We’ll never betray our attitudes even when it seems that we’re trying really hard. What’s the use of this kind of life for Nat-mur?
First, he didn’t achieve his goals and it has to be someone’s fault. It’s very tipycal for Nat-mur patients not to ever think that they have even the smallest responsibility for what has happened to them, and that their behaviour only makes things worse, or that mabey their time will come soon and they shouldn’t stop trying…
Natrium muriaticum is the best known remedy which can’t stand when someone feels compassion for him. Compassion is like a polite sorrow which someone feels over someone else’s misfortune. He thinks that he’s better than everybody else and he can’t picture himself failing at something as a result of his own mistakes and imperfections, or mabey it’s circumstances who are to blame.
„Everybody told me, what’s wrong with you, calm down, it’s not a big deal. It can always be worse, it could be that you have a cancer. I’ve been telling doctors for years that I have a cancer, but they didnt believe me! I finally proved I was right! But what now? Now I’m gonna die becaouse of their mistake!’’
MIND – AVERSION – persons – certain, to
MIND – REPROACHING others
MIND – ACCUSATIONS
MIND – DELUSIONS – pitied on account of his misfortune and he wept; he is
MIND – FEAR – pitied, of being
MIND – WEEPING – pitied, if he believes he is
Underneath his arrogance, there is a coward hiding from his problems and feeleng that he isn’t able to face them, so he makes everybody else do the ’’dirty jobs’’ for him, in other words, to revenge someone who harmed him or made him suffer. That person will often be accused by patient’s friends ane relatives for being bad, arrogant and unscrupulous, while Nat-mur will stay hidden somewhere in a safe place. Without any remorse, he’ll pretend to be his friend, while doing him harm behind his back. Althoug he consider himself honest and honorable person – with Nat-mur there’ll never be fair play.
MIND – HAUGHTY
MIND – COWARDICE
MIND – AFFECTATION
MIND – JEALOUSY
MIND – MALICIOUS
MIND – LIAR
MIND – DECEITFUL – perjured
MIND – SLANDER, disposition to – denounce
MIND – SPITTING
MIND – CURSING
MIND – DIRTY
MIND – VIOLENT
Second, there is something dignified in suffering. When you’re sad, you have a feeling that someone did you harm while you weren’t able to give adequate answer to his provocations, and to defend yourself.
The higher intellectual and spiritual development, the lower agression and desire for conquest. Nat-mur thinks he’s better than everyone else, and he finds it really hard to survive in the world full of people who’re controled by their passions and agressiveness. Although ,,defeated’’, Nat-mur will keep his dignity because he was defeated by people who are worse than him. He never lets his instincts control his will. He believes that he should play dirty and learn to be rough, but it’s beneath his dignity to fight in the same way everybody else does. He would rather feel like a victim, than descend to their level. Typical Nat- mur attitude is described in the next quote:
“Just help yourself, use my kindness, squander my honesty, feed your ego with my love, and tread my emotions like an old piece of paper. Your effort is waisted.
It won’t help you be better, you won’t become me, because you need soul , too. You can’t take that away, and as long as I have it, I will remain Human”.
Meša Selimović
MIND – DELUSIONS – succeed, he does everything wrong; he cannot
MIND – RESIGNATION
MIND – DIGNIFIED
MIND – ELEGANCE – want of elegance
MIND – MORAL FEELING – want of
MIND – PROPER – too
MIND – SELF-CONTROL – increased
We all have to face some failures and losses in our lives . But healthy people will feel better in time, and sooner or later, they’ll be able to live normaly, be satisfied with their lives, and feel happy. But with Nat-mur, this is not the case. He decides to stay in the past and refuses to enjoy the present. He’ll go back to that painfull and haming moments in the past again and again, hurting himself so he could tell how somebody else did that to him.
MIND – MASOCHISM
MIND – SADNESS – dwelling constantly on her condition
MIND – DWELLS – recalls – disagreeable memories
MIND – DWELLS – past disagreeable occurrences, on – grieve therefore; to
MIND – DWELLS – past disagreeable occurrences, on – night- midnight; after
MIND – DWELLS – past disagreeable occurrences, on – night
MIND – DWELLS – past disagreeable occurrences, on
MIND – DWELLS – disappointments, on
That’s not a question of being satisfied with his life anymore. The problem comes from his inability to assimilate pleasant feelings. Maby this is the key to Nat-mur.
MIND – DISCONTENTED – reserved displeasure
MIND – DELUSIONS – bed – touch the bed when lying; as if she did not
MIND – INDIFFERENCE – pleasure, to
MIND – COITION – after agg.
MIND – IRRITABILITY – coition – after
MIND – MOROSE – coition, after
MIND – SADNESS – coition, after
FEMALE GENITALIA/SEX – COITION – aversion to
FEMALE GENITALIA/SEX – COITION – enjoyment – absent
GENERALS – COITION – after – agg.
GENERALS – WEAKNESS – coition, after
Third, he finds the inspiration in his pain. He writes verses. Poem is a kind of literary work written in verse that contains metrics and rhyme. In poetry, figures of speech are used more often than in prose literary works. That all raises the intensity of emotions which poet writes about. He wants to suffer more, because his suffering has it’s purpose, and it’s to enhance his creativity. He exploits his pain. The world’s greathest poets must have been Nat-mur patients.
MIND – VERSES – making
MIND – VERSES – making – sleep; on going to
MIND – BROODING – grief; over
Nat-mur is a suicidal remedy. Uniqueness of his suicidality is hypochondria. It’s the state in which the person is too aware of all little details and gives them too strong meanings, stronger than they deserve. It’s the state of being too sensitive in which Nat-mur brought himself, as we could see in the previous rubrics. There’s a well know quote written by Ivo Andric, which tells that,, Lepsa dusa bolje jeca’’. The most famous suicidal writers were Vladimir Mayakovsky, Ernest Hemingway, Yukio Mishima, Jean-Pierre Duprey, Sergei Yesenin, Nikola Koljević, Branko Ćopić, Branko Miljković, and many others…
MIND – SUICIDAL disposition – hypochondriasis, by
We’re often surprised when we get Nat-mur instead of Veratrum after repertorizing our patient. Is this some kind of mistake? Let’s take a look at some similar between these two remedies

None of this rubrics surprises us when it comes to Veratrum, but we haven’t expected many of them to describe Nat-mur, because we connect Nat-mur with deep and longlasting sadness. Rage and sadness are just two sides of the same suppressed energy. Rage is an active sadness. When it shows, we don’t always think of it as the other side of Nat-mur.
Let’s take a look at some more rubrics for Nat-mur which don’t describe Veratrum.
MIND – ANGER – paralysis from anger
MIND – BLASPHEMY
MIND – DECEITFUL – perjured
MIND – HATRED – revengeful; hatred and
MIND – SLANDER, disposition to – denounce
MIND – MALICIOUS – anger, with
MIND – MASOCHISM
MIND – MISANTHROPY
MIND – BOASTER
MIND – CHARLATAN
MIND – SOMNAMBULISM – strike sleepers from vengeance; to
MIND – HELPLESSNESS; feeling of
The best way to see the difference between these two remedies is to pay attention to miasm. Nat- mur, as Haneman says, belongs to sycotic miasm. The main characteristic of this miasm is giving up on fight, and trying to hide and justify his situation. It’s the feeling of helplessness. On a physical plan, it will be followed with excessive cell growth, many growths on the skin, warts, moles… The same thing happens on a mental plan…weakness or failure must be hidden. Patient has to cover himself in every possible way and Nat-mur does that by making someone else feel guilty for what has happened to him. He uses slandering, he deceives and lies to others… His strategy is to put the blame on someone else.
Veratrum, on the other hand, belongs to acute miasm. At first, it was only used for acute diseases like scarlet fever, pneumonia and delirium. Later they discovered its usefulness in curing chronic diseases where patient feels the same way as he feels in acute deseases. He feels as if he’s in an unexpected, dangerous situation (disease, attack, misfortune, etc.). He gets strong attacks of fear, and has the feeling that he has to fight hard or he’ll be ruined. It’s interesting to notice how, apart from rubricsabout anger, rage and agressiveness, we don’t see Veratrum in rubrics connected to hatred. Apart from Stramonium, which has only one point in this rubric, no other remedie for acute miasm expresses hatred, although they can be very furious.
This tells us a lot about the difference between Nat-mur, the remedie who belongs to sycotic miasm and is the main representative of the rubric MIND – HATRED – revengeful; hatred and and Veratrum, a remedie for acute miasm, which carries the feeling of fighting for survival the entire life. His actions in this fight have the purpose to provide him security like good social status, enough money for living, to be in the presence of the authority who will protect him. There is no hatred in him. It’s just uncompromising fight to the death.
Sycotic miasm is characterised by hiding imperfections (weaknesses), rapid growth at all aspects, giving up the fight and reaching opposite emotions and extreme states. Generally, in sycotic miasm’s remedies we’ll find a lot of hatred and jelousy, while we can’t find these remedies connected to hatred in acute miasm, even though they can be very furious and agressive.
Therefore, although they’re alike in actions, the reasons for their actions differ a lot.
Nat-mur is very occupied with religion, and his religiousness is unique. As a person who had gone through so many failures and suffered a lot, his religiousness came to a question.
He doesn’t understand why he has to suffer so much when he is such a moral person. He starts questioning the meaning and justification of believing in God in front of all troubles and suffering on the Earth. If God is such a good creature, why does he let so much evel exist on Earth? If He is so righteous, how can he let inocent people suffer?
MIND – DESPAIR
MIND – PROPER – too
MIND – INJUSTICE – cannot suport
MIND – RELIGIOUS AFFECTIONS – too occupied with religion
MIND – INDIGNATION
A myth is a symbol, or a group os symbolic pictures made in human mind. It’s presented through symbols, because that’s the only possible way to deliver true message which can’t be explained in words. Once upon a time, mythology brought people in harmony with the world they lived in, through its universal messages. So we’re going to take a look at the story about Moses from the Bible, in order to understand the nature of Nat-mur a little closer.
After a lot of suffering and a hard life, Moses led his people in better future under the guidance of God’s will. Those people had been suffering for decades before they lost their belief in better life to come. They were angy with Moses whenever there were any obsticle on their way, because he led them there, and they forgot very fast how bad their life had been before. The God helped them in every hard situation, he showed them the way, or made it for them even when he had to separate the sea and make a hole in the center . He provided them the food, and sometimes he made a wather flow from the stone. But people didn’t see that. They became bitter, quarrelsome and ungrateful. They didn’t know to aprechiate what was given to them. As the answer, the God gave them 10 God’s commandments engraved in two stones.
Let’s remember what they said:
1) ‘I am the LORD your God, You shall have no other gods before me– Some people commit all their love and loyalty to money, fame or something else. This commandment says that the only thing we should worship is God.
Blasphemy – bad behaviour which includes speeking against God and sacred things.
MIND – BLASPHEMY
2) You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them.
Blasphemy also means taking the right to act like God and make his decisions, or giving those rights to somebody else, commiting your life to someone else than God.
3) You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
Sometimes we ask of God to revenge other people instead of us. We seek for revenge, sometimes very cruel one, on a ’’higher’’ level, because it doesn’t work on Earth. In this case, there is also a feeling that we’re ,,better’’ and unprotected from in our goodness from mean, evil people. This commandment says that it is up to God to decide who is to be punished.
MIND – CURSING
MIND – CURSING – desire to curse
We also take the name of God in vain when we ask something of him, which we don’t deserve. When student prays for passing his exam which he haven’t studied for, when we were too lazy to work and we pray for money, when we pray for our health but we don’t live healthily, when we’re ungreathful for what we have got.
MIND – LAZINESS
MIND – UNGRATEFUL
4) Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work.
Because God created the world in six days. The seventh day is the day for resting and raising our spirituality. There is constant fight between spiritual and material values, and without this, balans would have dissapeared a long time ago. Mania is a strog feeling which overrides every other emotion and suppresses rational thinking.
MIND – INDUSTRIOUS (= mania for work)
5) Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
In every materia medica , the reason for Nat-mur’s sadness is his hard childhood. It’s like the scarf on his heart, and he blames his parents for the lack of love, caring and support. He’ll often tell that they ruined his life. This commandement says that we should repect our mothers and fathers for our own good… We owe them our lives. Everything else is only our responsibility, nobody else’s. Furthermore, this commandment says that it’s for our own good. Insulting is a way of showing hatred and disrespect, and feeling and behaving that way can’t bring us any good.
MIND – ABUSIVE – children – parents; children insulting
6) You shall not murder!- To kill means to take someone’s life. But person can take it’s own life as well. Nat-mur is not in the rubric KILL, desire to, but he is in the rubic MIND – SUICIDAL disposition. In Christianity, suicide is unforgivable sin to the point that the church forbids requiem for suicide.
KILL – desire to
MIND – SUICIDAL disposition
7) You shall not commit adultery.– Adultery considers having sex with someone who you’re not in a marriage with. In anmals world, every individual is free to have offspring with any other individual. But between people, there are some rules which regulates their relationships. There is the social context. Appropriate rubric for this would be:
MIND – ADLERTOUS
MIND – LOVE – married man, with
MIND – LOVE – wrong person; with the (= out with social context)
Nat-mur would not lead double life because of his high moral principles. He is loyal, but, if he starts to feel deep love and passion for someone, he’ll break all relationships, ruin his marriage and escape with the person he loves,despite the dissapproval of his family and friends.
8) You shall not steal.– stealing means taking something for yourself or someone else wthout having right to do so. A person can steal something all by herself and it can happen only once, or rarely. Kleptomaniac is a person which has the tendency and need to steal things. This commandment can also be repertorized.
MIND – KLEPTOMANIA
9) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.- being a witness means being certain that something had happened. It differs from lying because it can make a really hudge consequences on someone’s life, job carier, love and friendship. The point of slander is to do someone harm, to ruin his reputation or social status or to do him harm directly (by taking him to prison for something he hadn’t done)
When it comes to lying, it’s purpose is often to do something good for ourselves or to cover our guilt.
MIND – SLANDER, disposition to – denounce
MIND – DECEITFUL – perjured
MIND – LIAR
10) You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.– all mortal sins are in that sin. The Bible talks about other person’s house, wife, male and female servant, ox, donkey- you shouldn’t want anything that’s someone elses property. A person is jelous over someone when she thinks that the person who has something she doesn’t have, seems to be worth more. This feeling that another person is ,,higher’’ and jelous person is ,,lower’’ makes a kind of social vertical. Jelousy forces person to try to make that unfair difference smaller. This can be done by puting that person down or lifting himself up. Let’s take a look at some rubrics:
MIND – DESIRES – full of desires – everything; desire for – another person is using; which
MIND – ENVY – hate, and
MIND – AVARICE
After that, let’s take a look at the repertorization.

Maybe that’s the reason for Nat-mur being the most popular remedy not only these days, but of all times. That’s the story about a soul who didn’t pass, who became rough and dark…
The truth is that sometimes in life we try so hard, but there is no result and we can’t seem to understand why. We think that there is nothing wrong with us, and we blame somebody else for stealing our happiness and merits.
The truth is that the waves of social happenings sometimes aren’t in harmony with our needs and point of view. We can have some talents that other people don’t see or believe in, and we can be thwarted in so many ways so we start to think that God doesn’t exsist, or he exsists but he’s not that good. But those skills are something that belongs to us and they can’t be taken. Let’s be wise and save our skills, collect new knowledge and try to be better than before. Let’s not lose our strength through those negative emotions and small fights which seem to do us more harm than good. One day, those waves will be cut across and we’ll take our place. The promise land will spread before our eyes in all it’s beauty, if haven’t been burned in desperation. Let us never forget that we have God’s love and grace with us on every step of our way.
