California Pitcher Plant
Integrating Your Animal-Like Instinctual Desires
It is important for the human soul to learn to distinguish, yet not extinguish,
its relationship to the animal world. As human beings we have the capacity
for self-awareness and self-reflection, but through these very gifts we
can also alienate ourselves from what appears to be "lower"
or more instinctual. California Pitcher Plant, which is carnivorous (insect
eating) and grows in boggy areas, is indicated for people who are unable
to integrate their animal-like instinctual desires with their sense of
human individuality. This results in a splitting off of their desire-nature,
or astrality, from the physical-etheric vehicle. Such a condition can
manifest as a weakness in physical vigor and strength, and especially
as an inability to digest food (assimilate physical matter). At other
times these same, unintegrated astral forces can work too independently
through the unconscious as a shadow force, especially distorting or dehumanizing
the soul's experience of sexuality. California Pitcher Plant helps the
soul to harness and balance the immense forces of astrality and instinctual
desire so that these energies can strengthen physical vitality, and serve
human spirituality.
