THE ORGANS OF THE SENSES


To take the easy way out, we will regroup the organs involving various tissues and the nervous functions depending on them; especially within the latter, will find the third concrete case being the functional failure, we will talk about later in this chapter when speaking about multiple sclerosis.

THE EYE AND THE SIGHT. One has to distinguish the anterior tissues (cutaneous and mucous), the internal tissues (crystalline and vitreous) and the posterior tissues (the retina prolonged by the optic nerve).

The conjunctiva and the eyelids (CF2) react on a visual separation conflict (having lost sight of someone), with conjunctivitis and blepharitis in the second phase. The lachrymal glands (CF1) respond to the conflict of not being seen and hence of being ignored. The cornea and the crystalline (CF2) correspond to more profound conflicts of visual separation; entailing keratitis and cataract in the second phase. The vitreous (CF3, but more complex), being the intra-ocular substance, becomes blurred in the first phase following a conflict of "fear from behind": a danger threatening us but we can not see it. The retina (CF2) corresponds to the same kind of conflict but the oedema in the second phase with transient detachment between retina and sclera worsens the failing sight. The eye is consequently a complex organ in proportion to its embryology and its importance in matters of orientation and of sudden awareness. Let us add that frequent re-stimulation of the fear conflict leaves thickening sequels distorting the eyeball and end up in imposing the wearing of spectacles (technical correction of myopia and hypermetropia).

THE EAR AND THE AUDITION. The ear is anatomically divided in three parts: external, middle and internal. The external ear or pavilion should be linked with the skin considering the deep feelings leading to this localisation. The middle ear (CF1) is touched by a conflict of not being able to catch or swallow the bait but with a predominating auditive colouring: heard, but ill-experienced refusals, orders or quarrels. Otitis in the second phase provokes a hearing failing through the inflammatory obstruction of the cavity. The internal ear (CF3) is the sensorial organ of hearing and of the equilibrium. The conflict consists in not being able to stand a message ("I can not believe it"). The buzzing in the ear is a first phase manifestation.

THE NOSE AND THE OLFACTION. The nose and the sinuses were taken up in the respiratory system and the second phase catarrhs already disturb the olfaction. The olfactive filaments (CF3) correspond to a much more specific conflict of stench in the large sense of the term.

THE SKIN AND THE TACTILE SENSITIVENESS. Independently of the skin already studied, it will be about sensitiveness (CF3) her. It is, of course, present in many sites of the body and the localisation of its loss must be found in DHS: where did one experience the loss of touch? As a prelude to the next chapter, let us add that the loss of sensitiveness often is part of the conflict, the other side of which is the impossibility to react. For example, the facial paralysis after "having lost one’s face": public insult; a concrete slap in the face or a situation wherein one could have hidden one’s face. In the second phase, there will be hypersensitiveness being able to go as far as pain; this is unexplainable without considering the whole disease.

Let us also quote here the neuralgia, so easily linked to chills as to other hazardous causes. They are in fact the second phase (hypersensitiveness) of a separation conflict with an aggressive predominance and concern an archaic innervation of the periostum and not of the skin. The pain reveals itself on the spot of the attacked zone and this may occur with the "victim" as well as with the "aggressor" (for whom this act, and even just the intention, is conflictual). When re-taking up the slap in the face, pain may be felt in the face of one of both protagonists and for the one who gave the slap, in his hand if that is where he felt his regret. This neuralgia question is also the answer to this third form of "rheumatism" where neither bone affection nor affection of the articular tissues is detected: pain in the foot when one has been "stepped" on, intercostal pain after a quarrel which "hurt" the chest or the heart, etc…
