Repertory › Remedies in the repertory
Neon (Neon)
Neon (Neon) appears in the repertory in 219 rubrics. Of these, 27 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy appears, and 19 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis is on Delusions with 34 rubrics and Mistakes with 27 rubrics, followed by Sadness, Thoughts, Weeping, and Anger. Together they give the picture of a person who experiences himself in a transition between heaven and earth, whose identity dissolves at the edges, and who constantly makes mistakes in speaking and in time.
Transition and lightness
The delusions are predominantly bright. Single-remedy rubrics record the delusion of walking effortlessly, of being kissed by heaven, of having arrived home, of having become upright, and of experiencing harmony between heaven and earth. Another names the state of transition. A single-remedy rubric with a Titan in seven-league boots and the delusion of being made of parchment also belong to this floating world. The legs appear shorter.
Dissolution of identity
The small rubrics show the other side. Listed are the delusion of dissolving and mental confusion as to identity, boundaries, and personal boundaries. Friends appear as strangers, the body appears enormously enlarged. The single-remedy rubric of seeing the inner tissues fits this. The person's form becomes permeable.
Mistakes in speech and time
Making mistakes, with 27 rubrics, is a second emphasis. Small rubrics list wrong words when speaking, which force the person to change the sentence completely in mid-sentence, and mistakes in time: confusing present and future, errors about past events. A single-remedy rubric names the sensation of being in the present.
Thoughts, numbers, keyhole
The thoughts are peculiarly occupied. Single-remedy rubrics list albatrosses circling the globe, Noah's ark, the second day of creation, and the number two. Even numbers attract the person. It is also recorded that the person spies through a keyhole, looks at stars, and hears doorbells.
Alternation and anger
The mood alternates periodically between sadness and cheerfulness, every other day, as several small rubrics record. Contentment in the morning, quiet and calm, is added. Opposed to this is anger: "Anger – could stab, so furious, anyone who has – lied to her/him and amel. when alone, a person who".
Summary
Neon appears as the picture of a person in an in-between state, effortless and light but without firm boundaries, prone to errors in speech and time, and alternating between elation and sadness. With 46 specific rubrics, the data are broad enough to support the picture.
All rubrics of this remedy, the materia medica and the case work are in Rathmer’s Repertory.
