Agrimony, (38),
"As soon as the personality acknowledges itself as a unity, and accepts the guidance of the Higher Self, the stabilizing forces of its own soul will come streaming in. It will gain inner strength and sufficient stability to be able to better face the problems of everyday life."

Aspen, (42),
"... Aspen patients get stuck ... on the fear-haunted astral plane, and are unable to make contact with their Higher Self that would channel helpful forces towards them."

Beech, (46),
"... the personality has misunderstood the teaching programme of its soul, refused to accept it, and rejected the negative experiences this would bring. ... it has not accepted its role of outsider and sufferer, and failed to cope with the painful experiences of discrimination. Instead, the personality has developed its own code of ethics, incorporating certain defence mechanisms that should help it shut off the voice of its Higher Self."

Centaury, (50),
"... wishing to help ... desire for recognition and validation ... One uncritically makes oneself subservient to another person and his or her human weaknesses, like an immature child, when one's own soul should be serving higher principles."

Cerato, (55),
"Instead of realizing that only the Higher Self is able to guide us to what is best in us, the answer is sought in the outside world, often in popular theories, doctrines, and in the experience of people who are quite different from us."

Cherry Plum, (59),
"... the personality has completely turned away from guidance by the Higher Self. It therefore is unable to cope with the more powerful forces it feels arising within itself. It reacts with fear. It fails to realize that there is a law that every mental and spiritual development means activation not only of bright, constructive, positive forces, but also of the other side of the coin, the dark, destructive, negative forces. Anxious efforts are made to keep those dark forces down beneath the surface; but pressure results in counter-pressure."

Chestnut Bud, (63),
"It is as if the personality were mistakenly assuming a childish defiance of the Higher Self, refusing to be guided by it, and as though it sometimes would like to play truant from the school of life altogether. Utterly self-willed, it cuts itself off from the actual energetic processes. It insists on 'doing its own thing', rather than open up and let itself be carried by the greater energetic process."

Chicory, (68),
"... a deep lack of fulfillment, an inner emptiness, often the feeling of being unwanted, and never having been properly loved. ... a black hole ... that has to be filled with affection, recognition and self-assurance over and over again. A powerful will and the whole of one's manipulative skill is used to meet this need ... Being unable to give any love oneself ... there is a feeling of inner uncertainty and fear of all kinds of losses. If feelings are evoked they will often be tied in with a demand such as: 'I love you, on condition that...'

It has to be realized that the black hole can only be filled from the fountain of love that is welling up in one's own heart, flowing from one's own soul without ceasing. As soon as the bidding of the soul is heard and activity is selflessly devoted to the service of others and the greater whole, it will be found that the fountain of divine love begins to flow, and tremendous power and security are arising within."

Clematis, (74),
"The problem is that a personality in the negative Clematis state does not consider that the future is always shaped in the present, and that a higher vision has planned this mission to involve every energy, every hand, every head, and every heart. ...

If the personality opens up to its real mission, it will more and more come to see the real connections between the physical and the spiritual world, and the deeper meaning of all that happens. With this, its real life will become more interesting day by day."

Crab Apple, (77),
"... the personality errs by taking the wrong point of view. ... gets stuck and lost in detail, finally no longer seeing the wood for the trees. ... the other point of view and open up, via one's Higher Self, to higher principles of order, ... see things in their right perspective ...."

Elm, (83),
"The error is that the person is identifying too strongly with the current role of the personality in such moments, thinking it wrong to follow the guidance of his Higher self that is calling for moderation. ... forgetting ... that everybody is in the first place responsible to himself, and must first of all meet the demands of his soul ...."

Gentian, (86),
"He is unconsciously refusing to be guided by his Higher Self and to see himself as part of a greater whole. He is limiting his perceptions to his own circumscribed personality, cutting himself off from ... (his Higher Self)."

Gorse, (90),
"The unconscious error of the personality again lies in a refusal to acknowledge and accept the role of the Higher Self as controller of its destiny. ... the personality puts up opposition to the process of development."

Heather, (95),
"... the personality completely turning away from its Higher Self and the greater unity. It is unable to recognize that there is no need to take by force what will come of its own accord if one allows oneself to be guided by the laws of the Higher Self."

Holly, (98),
"Every being wants to give love and receive love when born into this world. If it is denied this, it will experience unbelievable disappointment and begin to delimit itself from something in which it apparently is not to have a part, and to defend itself. ... If this great power of love fails to gain acceptance it will turn into its opposite -- negation, separation and hatred."

Honeysuckle, (103),
"... the personality refuses to be guided by its Higher Self, according to the laws of its soul, even if it may not always understand those laws. It ignores the fact that one of the most important life principles is constant change, .... Instead, it wants to determine its own destiny, particularly where emotional experience is concerned."

Hornbeam, (108),
"The personality is 'short-sighted' and 'hard of hearing' where the impulses of the Higher Self are concerned, preferring to settle on the familiar automatic (unconscious) patterns. It thus deprives itself increasingly of opportunities for development and everything that really makes life vital and worth living."

Impatiens, (112)
"The error ... lies in excessive self-willedness and self-imposed limits on the personality. It is forgotten that every person is part of a great whole and that in the final instance we all depend on each other, including those who seem less capable, and vice versa."

Larch, (115),
"The error in this case is that the personality is holding on too much to past negative experiences rather than letting itself be guided by its Higher Self, trusting in it, in the knowledge that success and failure are of equal value in the end."

Mimulus, (121),
"As long as the personality uses only worldly standards, it will again and again find itself facing concrete fears. If, however, it allows itself to be guided by the laws of its soul, gives up its worldly limitations and turns more towards the great whole, it will also be able to overcome the world, i.e. its fears."

Mustard, (124),
"... the fall of a personality ... (that0 has exploited inner resources that should have become nothing but the instrument of the soul and of higher spiritual powers. ... the soul mourning the lost potential, the personality now having to experience this in painful impotence."

Oak, (129),
"... the personality (needs) to consciously or unconsciously recognize ... (that) the fixed behavior patterns that have developed over many lives (Unconscious) need to be broken down ... and make the soul flexible and capable of growing again ... and follow the inner impulses of its Higher Self ...instead of mindlessly battling on ... (and then) the journey through life will become both easier and more pleasant."

Olive, (131),
"... they completely spend themselves at the personality level, where energies are limited, rather than draw strength from higher sources. ... always a call for humility ... difficult, for the physical warning system used by the Higher Self to signal that we are overdoing it physically, mentally or spiritually, is no longer functioning very well."

Pine, (135),
"... the personality completely taking the wrong view, limiting itself to live by its own concept of good and evil, claiming the right to judge for itself, rather than accept what it learns under the guidance of its Higher Self. ... to be a human being ... accept that while man has a perfect soul, he is in his physical body an imperfect creature, and that no progress can be made in this body without setbacks and failures. ... Anyone holding on to their mistakes, unable to love and forgive themselves, will also be unable to love and forgive others."

Red Chestnut, (140),
"... a connection at the wrong level, at a subjective emotional, anxiety-ridden personality level, rather than at a spiritual level, between the Higher Selves of two people. ... the concept of love of your neighbour is egotistically misread. The other person is unconsciously made the object onto which one's own limiting thoughts and doubts are projected."

Rock Rose, (143),
"Worlds are separating the personality from its Higher Self as it fearfully cowers within its mortal confines instead of trusting in the guidance of its soul which could let flow towards it the energies which are needed to master the situation. ... the personality is in an acute emergency state. ... the solar plexus function has been overstrained. Too much is coming in too quickly, and the central nervous system is unable to cope."

Rock Water, (149),
"The error lies in excessive self-willedness and a totally wrong material approach. The personality wants to enforce spiritual development, egotistically, confusing external effect with inner cause. ... It has forgotten that certain forms of life are the consequence, not the cause, of spiritual growth."

Scleranthus, (154),
"... the error lies in the personality refusing to give clear assent to the guiding role of its Higher Self. As a result, it has no inner line on the goals of its soul, a line that would give strength, standards and direction. For as long as it has not made a clear decision with regard to the path of the soul,it will fall under the influence of many different forces, ... treading water ...."

Star of Bethlehem, (158),
"... an inner refusal on the part of the personality to take an active part in life.
Rather than play the role on the stage of life that the Higher Self has assigned to the personality, it withdraws from everything it does not want to have feelings about ... playing dead, as it were."

Sweet Chestnut, (162),
"... the moment of truth, the extreme confrontation of the personality with itself and at the same time its last -- erroneous -- attempt to fight and resist a crucial inner change. ... one needs to go forward empty handed if one is to be able to take hold of the new life that is coming towards one; that one has to give oneself up completely to be totally reborn."

Vervain, (167),
"... personality and the body as yet unable to cope. The personality ... lacks knowledge of certain lays and experience in dealing with large volumes of positive energy. The personality takes hold of this energy and tries to 'make' something of it on the basis of its own limited concepts, rather than simply letting it act on its own."

Vine, (171),
"... the error of the personality, which lies in using the tremendous forces flowing towards it ... only for its own benefit, to satisfy its own vanity, rather than place them in the service of a higher plan."

Walnut, (175),
"... an error of the personality ... lies in temporarily losing unaffectedness, and in a delayed reaction to the impulses of the Higher Self. ... allows himself to be distracted too easily, rather than submitting fully to the guidance of his Higher Self."

Water Violet, (181),
"The personality gets more and more frozen in relation to its environment and also to itself. It has turned away from its Higher Self at this moment, wrongly so, and refuses to acknowledge that its superiority and special qualities are also an obligation. ... should pass on his values ... be an inspiring example."

White Chestnut, (186),
"... the personality has turned its back on guidance from its Higher Self, and this shows itself in the consequences of its egotistical, mental greed. In the absence of guidance and orientation on setting a higher goal for life, the personality is playing around with too much thought energy, often misunderstanding, losing the way and falling victim to foreign impulses .... "

Wild Oat, (190),
"The error ... is one of excessive self-willedness and self-centeredness of the personality, in blind eagerness in looking for goals and decisions in the outside world, instead of realizing that it merely needs to follow the inner guidance of its Higher Self to discover that decision, long since made, lies within itself."

Wild Rose, (193),
"... misunderstands the principle of devotion ... lives in extremely fixed, personality-linked negative expectations (instead of being) ... devoted to one's task within the greater whole ...."
