Discussion Drypetes madagascariensis
It is a tree. The leaves are very hard, the flowers are also very hard and a little dry. It was gathered with much effort and muscle power, on yesterdayâs trip; not easy to get hold of it. As soon as they started, they were using a lot of power during the trituration, felt exhausted, sweating, yawning, sighing, lot of eructations and palpitations; heavy chest; exhausting, but they were laughing a lot; hard work. They felt serenity; Prover 8 was glad to be a member of the group; he left the work for constipation reasons, but still felt part of it; trusted others to do good work; looking for another reason to leave again, but only if he had a good excuse. Bit chaos.
Prover 13 felt responsible, never left, in spite of having to go to the loo.
In the last round (C3) Prover 5 fell into a depression. Felt dead inside, as if
he felt not wanted. The first hours they were having heavy, bodily symptoms. Prover 5, after laying down he had the feeling he would die and it was all right, really fine. The depressive part was that he only felt as a sort of machine so that he felt not alive anymore. Routine work.
Prover 13 felt responsible for it all. Had to be there to overlook everything. She even felt guilty for Prover 5 becoming sad.
Prover 23: you have to work hard to belong to the group and be a useful member.
When we think of stages we see the hard work; working like a machine which refers to Stage 8 (work hard, like Ferrum). Another clear idea is that they wanted to belong to the group: they were not completely sure to belong.
Prover 13 felt guilty: means you are not completely sure; doubting means, it is not Phase 4. Phase 4 has no doubt.
Proving Drypetes madagascariensis
Trituration proving, Nosy Be, Madagascar 24-9-2013. Provers: Prover 5, Prover 8, Prover 13.
At the word Drypetes we think of the âtranslationâ dry feet.
We remember the situation, when Prover 8 helped to reach the plant. Prover 8 was standing on the edge of the slope and he was helping our guide, halt and slipping are the words that come to our mind. Further âto do something for the group without taking care of yourself â, â the person who gives aid has to be attentive, has to take care of the other, has to keep still.
C1
Prover 5 thinks, that the milk powder has to be protected from the wind, he feels good in the secure room and wants to put a glass over the milk powder. He thinks, that the leave of the plant is resistant, very solid. Prover 8 looks very exerted while he is grinding. He feels a tension in his right wrist and in his hand, he doesnât want to do it alone. He thinks, that the grinding is very exhausting, the pistil is very heavy.
Prover 13 can feel her heart beat very intensely.
Prover 8 feels very clumsy while grinding like he isnât able to do it, the table
is too high for him. Prover 13 feels a tightness around her heart. Prover 5 is going to the toilet. Prover 13 realizes, that the leave canât be destroyed, it is very frustrating and exhausting. The leave canât be destroyed even if Prover 13 puts
a lot of force into the grinding. She needs a lot of strength to do it. Prover 13s right lower lid twitches again and again. She feels a tightness and a heaviness in her chest, Prover 8 and Prover 13 have to take a deep breath. Prover 13 is angry about the leave that canât be broken. Prover 8 and Prover 13 both fear, that the bowl could fall to the floor because they both need to apply so much pressure while grinding.
Prover 8 is very exhausted and clumsy while working. Prover 5 doesnât take the time so serious. He is happy, that he can leave and come back again. Prover 5 wants to take a picture of the group but he forgot to put a battery in his camera. So he is not doing it, but he says it doesnât matter at all.
Prover 5 feels that it is his job to crush the leave but he canât do it. Prover 13 thinks, the sound of the bowl while grinding is very loud. Prover 5 annoys Prover 13 with loud beating against the bowl.
Prover 5 sighs, sweats because of exertion. Everybody sighs, taking deep breaths. Prover 13 is feeling hot, even without physical activity. Prover 8 is happy, that he doesnât have to write anymore. Prover 5 Ì hands are sweaty, Prover 8 has to yawn and to take a deep breath. Prover 13 Ìs right lower eyelid is twitching.
Prover 8 wants to yawn but he canât really do it. All three of them have to take deep breaths. Prover 8 feels, that the bowl is too heavy, complains about hard work, his hands are sweaty. Prover 13 has got the feeling, that something is stuck in her throat, she has a globus sensation and her right lower eyelid is twitching again. Prover 8 is feeling cheerful in between from time to time, he still has to yawn but canât do it.
The people outside of the room seem to be like in a movie. Prover 13 feels a little sick and she has a lump in her throat, she has hot flushes in between as well. Prover 8 says, that yawning is like not having an orgasm.
In between the group didnât paid attention to the leave in the bowl and it Ìs gone now. Prover 13 has to belch, now for the forth time already. The C1 is ending and the group thinks, that it was good because they managed to destroy the leave. Prover 13 is bothered by the impreciseness when it comes to watching time and adding the milk powder.
Prover 8 has got the feeling that he is getting a cold. He has to belch as well. The group is cheerful and everybody has to laugh in between.
C2
Chaos, the order of things is totally confused. Prover 13 has to yawn and her right eyelid is twitching again. Prover 8 is grinding and is not as exhausting as before. Prover 13 has to belch and yawn. Prover 8 says, that his beginning cold is getting worse. Prover 13 has to blow her nose (its running). Prover 8 says, that he doesnât feel as hot as before, work is not as exhausting as before and that it is getting easier. Prover 8 gets up, stretches, walks around and blows his nose. Then he makes a headstand. Prover 13 Ìs nose is still running. Prover 8 is walking around, says, that everything is easier now, not so hard anymore, but that he feels also restless. Its not hard work anymore but he feels restless. He is walking around but it doesnât help and then he goes to the toilet. Prover 5 develops a uncertainty about time, he no longer can read the clock, misreads the clock.
After the break (after C1) Prover 5 feels like an old man who is dying, looking out at the sea, he feels very calm, it is a good feeling. At the same time Prover 8 is running around restlessly. Prover 5 says, that he is not ill but dies healthy instead.
Prover 5 is taking care of the time now, before it was not important to him. He sees it as a game, he want to do better out of ambition, he doesnât want to make mistakes anymore. Prover 8 returns from the toilet and says, that he was not able to go to the toilet for 4 days and that it finally worked now. He feels much better. He washed his hands and his face and says, that he enjoys the fact, that he can do that and we carry on working. He can count on us to continue the work. He reports, that his grandfather always looked after, that everybody was working but he had his peace. He says, that he felt constipated before and it disturbed him, but now everything is fine again. Friedrich is triturating and he looks different than before, not so exhausted. He says, that he just has to grind now
and that he doesnât have to push so hard anymore. It flows. Prover 5 is eating pineapple and says, that its mealtime. Prover 13 has to belch again. Prover 8 has to draw up some slime and says, that he is getting a cold. Prover 13 has got the feeling, that everything is easier than before, she doesnât feel so hot anymore, she doesnât have the feeling anymore that everything is so hard. Prover 8 doesnât feel clumsy anymore, his fine motor skills are better again, he can do fine work now. Prover 5 thinks, that the blossoms are not beautiful when they are isolate, he thinks that the plant is only beautiful as a whole with leaves and as a whole tree.
He thinks the leave feels like leather for shoes. Prover 5 feels not challenged, everything is so easy. The sweating is gone and the heaviness is gone, from heavy to light. He doesnât need that much strength anymore. Prover 5 has to concentrate hard on the time and has difficulty reading the clock. Prover 5 loves the sound of Prover 13s grinding, it calms him. Little noise is pleasant. Hitting the bowl with the pistil directly next to the ear is too loud. Prover 5 wants to sleep, wants to have free time, he has done so much.
Prover 8 is not at his best but he is glad, that he can contribute something and that he is part of the group. Prover 5 sighs and sighs again and again. Prover 5 feels bored while listening to the stories. Prover 5 and Prover 8 both think, that less is more. Prover 5 says, in a piece of art 80 % is boring so that the special thing about it shows itself.
Prover 13 has to take care, that the right timing is being kept and that everything is written down. She has the feeling, that she has to bear the responsibility, that she has to look after everything so that it is working out right.
The plant is hard, very well structured. Prover 13 says, that she wants to live, have free time, go for a walk and not only work all the time. She asks herself, if she is lazy, if she is not doing enough. Prover 13 takes over control over the trituration very quickly, its important to her that everything is done right. Prover 8 enjoys, that he is not responsible. He is sure, that no mistakes happened before. To work hard, to rest, to take a break, being part of a project, happy to be able to relax because the others continue to work, rhythm. Feeling of a ritual. Prover 8 doesnât want to stay seated, but he wants to belong to the group.
C3
Prover 5 makes a mistake with the time again. Prover 8 is getting some water for the group. Prover 13 begins to trust the others. The group talks about the selected spot for doing the trituration and they think, that they have space here. Prover 5 and Prover 8 wished to be inside in the beginning. Prover 8 remembers the work on the farm when he was a child. He says, that he feels freedom when he leaves to get us some water. He is allowed to go, he is free and the others
are continuing the work. Prover 13 has got the feeling, that she cant leave even though she has to go to the toilet. She wants to stay to watch the work and what is happening. Prover 8 is talking about physical work, it is simple work but hard. He talks about projects in a group. Prover 8 is thirsty and tells about his craving for cold water. Prover 5 is thinking of comics, makes funny noises and makes Prover 8 and Prover 13 laugh. Prover 5 Ìskin is wet and he is sweating. Prover
8 is triturating and is becoming more agile, he makes music while working and sings. Prover 8 says, that he grew up on a farm and that he had to work there, he had to collect stones. When he was ten he had to already lift heavy bags, he had back pain because of that and he was overextended. He says, that he is fed up with physical work now, that he was forced to do it and that he was not free. He is very happy about his mental work now. Prover 5 and Prover 13 like physical work, they like to clean as well. The group thinks that it is about the free decision, âyou donât have to do itâ. But if you donât do it you are not part of the group, you have a guilty conscience if the others do the hard work.
Prover 5 is growing sad because there is too much structure and regularity. In contrast Prover 13 wants structure and looks after it. Prover 5 withdraws inside and is sad, that nothing is happening anymore, everything became a routine. He thinks, that with routine the joy is getting lost and everybody is getting sad. He says, that he has to become quiet within himself and that he cant go on joyfully, he has to stay alone with himself. Loud cheerfulness also needs a cooling down sometimes. Prover 13 doesnât like to have so much responsibility and she wants to give some of it off to the others. Prover 8 thinks, cheerfulness is like autumn, like a farewell. Autumn farewell. Routine. To take a break and the other one continues to work. Prover 13 thinks, that the responsibility is unpleasant, makes mistakes, thinks, that she is responsible for Prover 5 Ì sadness.
Essence
Prover 8: Happy to be part of the project, happy that he can contribute some- thing to it, happy that he can rest and the others continue to work. He allows himself to take a break for two reasons:
First he really has to go to the toilet, second when he goes away to get something for the group, for example some water.
His mood ranges from cheerful to sad. To be with each other full of joy and to not realize, that we are actually working. He feels influenced by the mood of the others.
Prover 5: Happy to be a part of the project, to be with the other members of the group. â I have to go to the toilet very casually and come back again.â Everybody did a good job and first it was exhausting and then it got easy. He had a very relaxed feeling, that he could die like this. Later sadness, lack of words and lack of interest.
Prover 13: In C1 a lot of bodily sensations, sweating, feeling heavy, yawning but very cheerful nonetheless. Happy to be with the others, to e part of the group. In C2 quiet, easy, everything not as exhausting as before. She felt a lot of responsibility, couldnât leave the others alone, because she didnât want to miss something and she wanted to take care, that everything is done right. In C3 she felt guilt, because Prover 5 was feeling sad.
CAN I GO OR CAN ÌT I GO?
Prover 8 totally trusted in the other members of the group. Death, sadness and feeling guilty.
