The soul qualities of tolerance and sympathy, one's
capacity to empathize and relate emotionally are fortified and restored by the
use of Beech. A person in need of this essence ... and deficient in these
qualities ... will be snobbish, judgmental, narrow-minded, arrogant,
disdainful, and highly critical. They may describe themselves as "simply having
high standards." They, however, fail to acknowledge that each person is unique
and brings special gifts and requirements to the mingled energies of the world.
Beech people demand tidiness, discipline, exactitude,
accuracy, and "working strictly by the rules." Deviance of any kind of a
problem for them. Yet, too often, they inadvertently, unconsciously display the
same "flaws" as the persons they so roundly and vocally castigate. They project
enormous amounts of inner material onto other people and the world at large ...
seeing "problems" in others but not themselves.
Often they have trouble focusing and digesting the
results of their own experiences ... and may have literal digestive problems as
a physical manifestation of this fact. Beech is often needed for people whose
childhood backgrounds contain the sad effects of prejudice and discriminatory
treatment. The abuse and suppression result in chronic states of anger,
humiliation, hatred, disappointment, resentment, and injured self-esteem.
As a tactic, this person (and his whole family, in
fact) may have withdrawn into a clannish mentality of perceived superiority ...
"We're actually better than everybody else" as a life position from which to
work. This works to blunt the rage of being denied adequate recognition and
softens the humiliation -- because others are perceived to be flawed and their
judgments meaningless. This makes the painful experiences thus encountered less
hurtful and humiliating ... on the outside.
The trouble is ... suppressed energy and pain don't
just "go away." There are always serious consequences to trying to accomplish
that. In this case, the failure to enter effectively into the feelings of
others becomes a casualty ... and the failure of empathy becomes also the
failure of intimacy, a truly sad result. Having failed to cope with the painful
experiences of discrimination, the person develops his own code of ethics ...
which is usually founded on a strong platform of reverse discrimination.
This is undeniably a case of two wrongs unable to make
a right ... any way you slice it. By handing unwanted, humiliating feelings to
others the person is able to feel better about himself -- a common strategy,
but one which certainly compounds the pain and hostility already too prevalent
in his world. Very few people feel warm and fussy toward someone who treats
them this way ... and the hurtful cycle continues.
Other physical symptoms of this malady may appear as
inflammations and physical irritations -- and, especially as the personality
hardens into ever-greater rigidity, joint disorders such as arthritis (having
to do with mobility and flexibility) may manifest. At this point, a person in
desperate need of contact with his Higher Self may be far removed from ever
achieving such ... until his own pain and sorrow force some other path of
approach -- which is what the increasing discomfort may be trying to produce.
Once the person is able to release the negative,
limited worldview he has embraced, the Higher Self is able to channel through
greater knowledge about the true nature of the world, transforming restrictions
and criticism into more evolved understanding and sensitivity, arrogance into
love and tolerance. It may take a great deal of work, however, to reach this
break-through position.
The Beech person is in tremendous need of
understanding the laws of harmony ... and the principle whereby disharmony in
one part affects and impacts the harmony of the whole. This person is also in a
tricky psychological situation ... having disowned so much of his own energy,
he can make a very convincing argument that "other people" have the problems,
attitudes, wounds, etc. He truly does not see these things as his own.
The goal here, of course, is to achieve a new feeling
of unity ... to understand that the health and balance of each part, each
person is important. Despite his extremely critical and rejecting
attitudes, the Beech person is seeking harmony within -- and once he finds
that, the harmony in the outer world will naturally follow. Deviation from the
norm, from the standard, will no longer be seen as imperfection ... but as
variety.
Beech Flower Remedy facilitates this reconnection with
the Higher Self and the Principle of Unity. It relaxes rigidity and promotes
more sensation, more joy, cheer, and flow in the positive energies
available to everyone ... and therefore accessible virtually on demand to the
Beech personality. The result is the correction of the intolerance ... which is
the underlying pathology.
Beech helps promote mental perceptions, allowing one
to appreciate different patterns of human behavior and different levels of
individual development. It helps a person be more loving, tolerant, gentle, and
kind to everyone, including himself.
It specifically addresses problems where one is unable
to show understanding, patience, tolerance or forbearance for the faults and
inadequacies of others; where one had a distinct lack of empathy for the
feelings of others; where judgmental attitudes, even for tiny faults, is a
problem; and where a person chronically sees only what's wrong with
another or with a situation.
It also works in situations where nothing is believed
to contains any positive results, where development of potential in others is
unappreciated, even if that development is incomplete; where strict adherence
to "rules and principles" is a guiding, unbending tenet in life -- making the
letter of the law more important than the spirit.
Additionally, in the Beech personality there is a
task-master attitude toward self and others; a mean-spirited and pedantic
mind-set; a tendency to be disproportionately irritated by small habits and
gestures of others -- which "get on the nerves" of the offended party; a habit
of holding himself tense and rigid -- inside and out; and a constantly
complaining and hypercritical attitude -- isolating him further from sources of
caring and love.
