Delirium during delivery
Sexual desire increased during delivery
Insanity after delivery
Wants to set things or house on fire
Delusion he is chasing peacocks
One of the images during re-experiencing birth is rainbows and peacocks. The colours of the peacock and of the rainbow signify transformation.
Licks up cow-dung, mud, saliva
Speech illustrated by urine, faeces and cowdung
Erotic insanity; wants to be naked
In our books we attribute shamelessness to Hyoscyamus. This is a description of our state as
observers who judge the behaviour of the patient, and not of the state of the patient. The patient wants to be naked, because that is in his memory one of the prerequisites to re-experience the unity he experienced right after birth. Often they themselves feel very ashamed of their impulses. These impulses can include violence against babies.
Hyoscyamus has a very strong desire to unite deeply with the person he loves. They need to feel that contact. To them it is a matter of life and death. In a sense they are as vulnerable in that aspect and dependent on the other as a baby is dependent on the mother and is nothing without her. Hyoscyamus wants to be totally in the other person, feel no boundaries, be one. Aberrations in their sexual behaviour signify how they try by all possible means to reach the desired unity
