Wild apple - Malus sylvestris

Wild Apple people are conscientious, neat people who have very precise ideas about the immaculate condition of their homes, their work or their bodies.
And you can already feel it coming, bulimia and anorexia belong here too. As do cleaning compulsions and a fear of blemishes.
In practice, I come across many adults and children who "have to count", MUST walk along the edge of the pavement, MUST touch things very often, and so there are many compulsions.

They often get stuck on finicky details. It is for neat, tidy, people, who want to do everything in their lives very precisely. Because of all these wonderful, yet Calvinistic, traits, they become a slave to all the things, which they have to do very precisely. They may also feel inside that they are not clean/clean. You may also develop an aversion to "mental" pollution such as unsavory thoughts and "bad tendencies", such as the idea that sexual intercourse is morally wrong and filthy. You find it difficult to go to a strange toilet and open the toilet doors with your elbows. You fear bacteria. You have an abhorrence of pimples. You find that gross, just like sweaty feet, pets or blood.

With Wild Apple children, you see that their room is always clean and tidy, that their Lego bricks or building blocks are sorted by colour and size.

These children always want to look neat and clean, and the slightest stain on a T-shirt or a shirt they have transpired in will make them put on clean clothes.
They wash remarkably often, because they find their own perspiration and/or skin irregularities just as bad as perspiration, dirt or rashes of others.
They will also never take anything from another person's cutlery or a piece of their sibling's bread.
They are model pupils at school and even excel in subjects they have no interest in. Nor are they satisfied with an 8, let alone a 7......no, ideally they want a 10 or if possible an 11.

If you often have the thoughts that you are afraid of contamination, of infections. That you do everything very precisely. That you only want to stand out positively. That you do your work extremely meticulously. That everything has to be in order, because otherwise it usually causes you stress in yourself. And if you don't succeed, you feel you have fallen short afterwards. That you let trifles dominate you and therefore often get stuck in details.
If you are hypersensitive to disorder. And that it bothers you yourself, even others.
If you have an aversion to snakes and spiders (i.e. not a fear) but that you find them dirty.
That you would prefer to shower twice a day.
That you get nauseous from strange toilets and prefer to hold it in until you get home if possible.
That when you have sexual intercourse, you actually feel like you are doing something dirty.
If so, Wild Apple could help you break that rigidity.

And so I have a few more examples, which Wild Apple people may have as thoughts: If I ate something wrong or ate too much, I stick a finger down my throat to vomit it out again, otherwise I feel dirty. With alcoholics and drug addicts, I want nothing to do with.

Never in my life have I forgotten the film I saw 40 (!) years ago at HBO college. The film was about people with compulsions. And one aspect of the film was about a woman who cleaned herself vaginally with Vim (that's what it was called back then) using a toothbrush. Can you imagine the problems that caused. I didn't understand any of it at the time.
There was also a woman, who cleaned the corridor all day while the entire rest of the house was one mess. And when her husband came home from work in the evening, he had to undress on the mat and was given clean clothes by her.

So what causes this extreme state of mind? For fear of becoming unfaithful to their own ideals, they will avoid anything that tempts to, for them, immoral acts. The feeling of being unclean takes on an independent character and is projected into every conceivable area of life. The "inner" pollution is transferred to the environment, in which every form of impurity is fiercely opposed. In fact, everything we fight in our environment is precisely that which hinders us in ourselves, according to the inescapable law that the inner is not independent of the outer. Consequently, the ideology predominant in the Pure state (see the blog of 29 October 2016) questions itself in the Wild Apple state. The development of "life-foreignness" in the Pure state has led itself into "hostility" to life in the Wild Apple state, which is a dead end. You are constantly fighting against the environment perceived as "hostile" and that on all levels simultaneously. This defensive attitude can manifest itself physically as "allergy".
So:
At Pure --- strict "life-hostile" principles---cannot live up to them---feels unclean at every violation. The feeling becomes independent and is projected on all possible levels
Pure: "alien to life". Wild Apple: "hostile to life", sterile, constantly fights the environment that looks hostile to her/him - possibly on all levels simultaneously. This remedy helps us purge out what for us are head and side issues.

I want the piece on Pure and Wild Apple to show how your emotions transition from one negative state of mind to another.
And once I have described all the blossom remedies, I will start describing the relationships between certain remedies as above so that it is going to become clear to everyone where and why those negative emotions eventually arose anyway.

And how I recognised myself in this.
I thought it was quite normal to comb the fringe off my rugs several times a day. Also, my mother always proudly told me that you could put a ruler along my jumpers, that's how precise they were in my wardrobe. I also thought that was quite normal. But as a child I also suffered badly from "touch-tapping", as I call it. I often had to "touch" things and if I didn't, I would get very restless and all sorts of bad visions would appear in my head. Everything had to be perfect. And that was of course true at school, in my ballet classes.
I can also imagine that it must not have been very nice at all for those around me (I'm sure!) because I naturally expected others around me to be like that too. That was my blind spot.
And I still like it when my house, my practice, my garden, you name it, is in order, but I no longer let it affect my life. And what is the positive side of all this for me is that it is so calm in my head when everything is in order. I will never get messy and my "tidiness" has brought me many positive things in my life. So how nice is it when all this is balanced ............. thanks to the remedies.

Wild Apple releases the compulsions that so often rule your life.
And it lets you see your life in the right perspective and you will no longer be thrown off guard by trifles.
