Alumina Mental State Syphilitic Need to see both rigidity and malleability Substance Heat it and it will do anything you want it to do, extremely versatile material, yet holds its form Retention Issue A one way street They can take in, but cant let out (wont be able to express symptoms) Can only give you a convoluted answer Extreme case; wont even respond to you Dementia (find these guys in nursing homes frequently) Really strain to bring anything out They just dont know how to answer the question Confusion Who am I? Self is missing Intense Lack of orientation, where am I? Disorientation, have no identify or loss their identity Delusion: My head belongs on someone else Delusion: Belongs to another consciousness Delusion; Thinks someone else sees for me Delusion; Someone else has heard something that I have heard, my ears are in her body Real intense confusion Worse than an out of body experience Mental slowness in speech and in answering Mentally worse from hurry creates anger and/or hysteria Mental dullness Worse with any mental exertion, worse in morning when contemplating mental exertion Differential w/Carcinocin Carcboundary issue both ways, easily bombarded, and also expressive. A Carc architect, make wonderful designs for people, understands their needs, may not able to make design for themselves May be looking for clues as to who I am I know I am sitting here, but.. (In Alumina, I dont even know that) Ediology The way you become yourself is suppressed Taking away childs ability to explore Exposure to aluminum in cooking Early Childhood/birth trauma Parent trying to correct the way the baby sits up, crawls, way it feeds itself Its not okay to cry You only wave bye-bye with right hand Need a Template for Everything Has to learn all these things very precisely Make reasonable engineers, doing calculations Learn precisely, always on specific tem- perature, always certain amount If I dont cross the left lace first, I dont know how to do it Look Obsessive Perfectionist Has to take copious notes in school Engineering is good for them, Accounting is also Worse from hurry Need certain specific things to remain oriented Dont Hurry me Will get angry, hysterical, etc. if pushed Slow mentally My mind dulls out sometimes Slow in their responses (have to go and find the words) It just takes me time it find it (the answer) Worse if study too much, exertion of mind It takes what it takes (time)

Tremendous Despair Underlying Can be easily depressed From how difficult life is They do feel like something is wrong Extreme despair of every getting out of this state, eventually suicidal Anger When anything disrupts his carefully prepared structure They broke the contract (ex-friends) Relationships Things have to go within the expectations, follow the rules No spontaneity Fairly Moralistic Fairly moralistic syphilitic, all sense of guilt or moral high ground, but more extreme that real situation will warrant Jobs May likely move jobs frequently If Job betrays one of their rules They are out there searching for who they are Could also stay in one But they know that something is wrong Children Attention deficit (diagnosis often) Fear of knives, blood, of insanity, of cockroaches (Phos)
