The key to Thuja, the essence, is her groundless lack of self confidence grade 3. But you should always be very careful because even a Platina can declare that she has lack of self confidence! Yes, even Platina! How can this happen? She has been so confident and considers herself as the goddess of beauty. And then suddenly she gained 5 kilos. She feels so ugly and fat and declares “lack of self confidence”!

But this isn’t “lack of self confidence”! This is indeed self confidence grade 3 and this is Platina. You should never prescribe according to what the patient says he is. You should always prescribe according to what he

is! You should always prescribe according to the genotype/primary

behavior and not according to the phenotype/secondary behavior.

Well, Thuja’s genotype and primary behavior is “lack of self confidence” grade 3. And I say this because although she usually does well and has skills and achievements she never believes in herself. Her mother tells you: “What is wrong with her, doctor? She has excellent grades and she does very well on her tests, yet, every time she keeps saying that she won’t do well. Nevertheless, every time she gets high grades and even then she can’t believe that she did so well!”

Thuja believes that when it comes to cleverness and skills her I.Q. is far below the average; that she isn’t of any worth. She may have earned herself diplomas and praises, she may be beautiful and have achieved many things, yet, she feels that she isn’t worth it; that she is stupid, ugly, good for nothing, worthless, a piece of trash! She has that constant feeling and belief that she doesn’t do things right, that she will fail to meet the average score. She may be beautiful and despite that she says to herself:

“I am so ugly! My hands are ugly, my face is ugly, my nose is very large, etc.”

There are a couple idiosyncrasies that could say such a thing; that feel as if ugly but yet not so strongly. For example, Valeriana although thinks a lot of herself she may say such a thing to herself because she doesn’t want her image to others to be spoiled. To be precise, Valeriana thinks that she is beautiful and worthy, even more than the average but still has this internal hidden insecure. On the contrary, Thuja believes what she says.

Furthermore, Thuja is very introvert and it’s a very difficult thing for her to tell you such a thing face to face. At times a young girl comes to my office and due to non verbal characteristics I sense that she is a Thuja person and I ask her straight away: “Do you often feel that you are worthless? That you are a piece of trash?” Then she jumps up from her seat astonished and says: “How did you get it, doctor? I’ve never said it to anyone, not even to my mother or to my husband although this is what’s bothering me all my life!” And this is true in spite the fact that she is quite good looking, educated and perhaps a successful lawyer!

Isn’t Homeopathy great? Isn’t it magic? Isn’t it amazing to be able to read others mind and soul! Moreover isn’t it wonderful to be able to help people with natural and harmless energy medicines? To be able to balance deep rooted idiosyncratic tendencies that have tortured your patient for years and years, all his life! You see, Homeopathy is indeed such a wonderful cure if, of course, someone has mastered it and applies it according to Universal Laws.

2.19 Unfounded Guilt

It’s not only that she has that terrible baseless lack of self confidence! She also has an unfounded guilt about all things: she is the one to blame for

what happened to her mum, dad, brother, friend, etc. She thinks that she is responsible for what happened to others or that she is to blame also. Her guilt is unfounded, baseless and groundless as is her lack of self confidence yet, she just can’t help believing it! The latter originates from her ungrounded lack of self confidence and from the belief that she doesn’t do anything right.

Let me give you an example: there’s this mother that constantly believes that she isn’t a good mother; that she doesn’t succeed in raising her children right; that she does all things the wrong way; that she is worthless and stupid although she does well. She feels guilty about it and she is self tortured! She is a Thuja subject!

You have to be very careful because Natrum Muriaticum could have such guilt but in a very lower degree and for different reasons. The latter is so psoric and responsible and strict to herself and wants so much to do her duty that she ends up easily feeling guilty that she neglected to do as expected from her. Aurum Metallicum also is very demanding from herself and if she fails then she feels great disappointment and despair and may commit suicide. But, when it comes to Thuja, she feels guilty because she considers herself below the average cleverness and that is the reason why she believes that she “keeps failing” although she doesn’t.
