A comparative study of gold series and lanthanides by exploiting their theme of leadership and power

ABSTRACT

The gold series as elaborated by Jan Scholten, contains the lanthanide series of elements having the 4f electronic configuration. Although the lanthanides are a part of the gold series, they differ in certain aspects, one among them being, the theme of leadership or power. Through this article, the author has intended to offer a brief insight into the divergent aspects of the leadership and power theme, among the different elements of the gold series in comparison with that of the lathanides.

KEYWORDS: Gold series, lanthanides, theme of leadership

INTRODUCTION

Dr Jan Scholten in his works, ‘Homoeopathy and the elements’ and ‘Secret lanthanides’, had elaborated on the use of elements of the periodic table in a way that makes the readers understand the depth of his unique perception and innovative ideologies. He has contributed to Homoeopathy a rare gem through his exploitation of the periodic table.  According to him the 7 horizontal rows of the periodic table  are represented as series with a common theme for each row and the 18 columns are mentioned as stages, where each column represent the stages in the development cycle of life.

THE GOLD SERIES

The gold series represent the 6th row of the periodic table. It contains the elements Cesium, atomic number 55 to Radon with atomic number 86.  Power is the central theme of this level. It is all about leadership and power over other people and leadership goes hand in hand with a feeling of responsibility for those people.(1).

LANTHANIDES

The lanthanide series of chemical elementscomprises the 15 metallic chemical elements with atomic numbers 57–71, from lanthanum through lutetium. These elements, along with the chemically similar elements scandium and yttrium, are often collectively known as the rare-earth elements or rare-earth metals.(2) Jan Scholten had effectively introduced these into the clinical practise by relating their physicochemical properties exhibited in the periodic table of elements to their homoeopathic potential.(3)

 COMPARISON ON THE THEME OF POWER AND LEADERSHIP

Gold series

 The theme of this series is leadership and management. They are the leaders in the family and in the business. They direct their power to the outer world.(4)

In our society it can be observed trough the judges, directors, mayors, bishops ,who are examples of leadership , even if the nobility is only an illusion . They  involve a larger part of the society like town councils, business and matters related to the whole country and feel sense of  responsibility towards it, due to which they are serious in nature.(1)

Like the king who waves his sceptre and has total power over his people, they like to exercise their power over others. They may even feel they have power over life and death, as if they are the representative of God here on earth.(1)

 Lanthanides

As regards to the lanthanides, they direct the power to themselves. It’s more directed inwardly, to their inner world. It manifests more of self-control, an example for which is, Lanthanum tries to find out where his power is and how he can use it.(4)

In philosophy, power represents the ideas of the enlightenment and the universal declaration of human rights. These ideas stand for autonomy and freedom, to think and express oneself. Equality of all people is the consequence of autonomy for everyone.(4)

Europium Europium knows he has power, but he still has doubts about it. His tactic is to be clever instead of doing things with his power.   Osmium A forceful leader good in managing crisis and have to exert tremendous energy over it , which leaves him depleted.

  Radon Their days of leadership are over, their work and responsibilities completed and there is nothing left to worry about.(5)  

CONCLUSION

Thus, the power play and leadership qualities differ in lanthanides, even though it forms a part of the gold series. the lanthanides need to be explored further as it could provide more meaningful insights and wonders to the homoeopathic art of healing. Jan Scholten though his innovative ideologies had provided a gateway of opportunities through his works on periodic table and lanthanides. It is now the duty of the young minds to explore further into his works and provide evidence based results on it.
