Abstract
The human character can be understood as an extension of the life mission or purpose of life, and explained as the primary tool of a person to impact others and express the purpose of life. Repression of the human character makes it impossible for a person to realize his personal mission in life and, therefore, is one of the primary causes of self-repression resulting in poor quality of life, health, and ability. From Hippocrates to Hahnemann, repression of physical, mental, and spiritual character can be seen as the prime cause of disease, while recovery of character has been the primary intention of the treatment. In this paper, human character is explained as an intersubjective aspect of consciousness with the ability to influence the consciousness of another person directly. To understand consciousness, we reintroduce the seven-ray theory of consciousness explaining consciousness in accordance with a fractal ontology with a bifurcation number of seven (the numbers four to ten work almost as well). A case report on a female, aged 35 years, with severe hormonal disturbances, diagnosed with extremely early menopause, is presented and treated according to the theory of holistic existential healing (the holistic process theory of healing). After recovery of her character and purpose of life, her quality of life dramatically improved and hormonal status normalized. We believe that the recovery of human character and purpose of life was the central intention of Hippocrates and thus the original essence of western medicine. Interestingly, there are strong parallels to the peyote medicine of the Native Americans, the African Sangomas, the Australian Aboriginal healers, and the old Nordic medicine. The recovery of human character was also the intention of Hahnemann's homeopathy. We believe that we are at the core of consciousness-based medicine, as recovery of purpose of life and human character has been practiced as medicine in most human cultures throughout time. We believe that such recovery can help some (motivated) patients to survive, even with severe disease.
Highlights
In our experience, every human being has a distinct character, but the human character is a deep mystery that is not connected to anatomy or biochemistry, but directly to consciousness and personal style of behavior
We have presented a theory of the human character and the purpose of life and explained the relevance to existential healing
We have suggested a scheme of the major human characters for use in the clinic, but the qualities listed are not physical or objective qualities of man, instead it is quite the opposite: highly subjective qualities directly connected to the consciousness and purpose of life of the person
Summary
Every human being has a distinct character, but the human character is a deep mystery that is not connected to anatomy or biochemistry, but directly to consciousness and personal style of behavior. The purpose of the use of the mescaline-cacti among Native Americans is to bring the patient to a state of consciousness where he can realize how he makes himself ill by not living in accordance with the deep self[17], or in our interpretation, with the true human character and the purpose of life. This makes the fairly mysterious native medicine, often completely incomprehensible due to the use of massive symbolism, very difficult to understand. The spiritual and mental subtypes (described with words, i.e., for the divine plan: time and space, value, leadership, responsibility, resources, success and transcendence; and for the mental hearth: grace, acceptance, respect, affinity, honor, awareness, wholeness) are so integrated in our daily language that the mapping seems fairly trivial
