THE ROCINE GENOTYPE CONSTITUTIONS - detailed.

5. THE ROCINE GENOTYPE CONSTITUTIONS.

The following material has been compiled and edited by: Paul Hysen D.Litt., N.D., D.O., D.C., Ph.D. from notes and information from the lectures of Victor G. Rocine D.Sc.

MENTAL PRIMARY CONSTITUTIONAL TYPES.

These are four in number, all using phosphorus and sulphur mainly in their make-up:

Neurogenic - Neuro (nerve), genic (produce), nerve-producing.
Nervi-Motive means combination of nervous and motive constitutions.
Exesthesic - Exe (out), esthesic (feelings), one who expresses feelings.
Pathetic - Pathos (emotions), ic (relating to).

OSSEOUS OR BONY PRIMARY CONSTITUTIONAL TYPES.

Those who are large in bones, slow and hardworking.

Calciferic - Lime carrying.
Isogenic - Iso (balance or harmony) in constitution.
Sillevitic - Sil (silicon), levis, Latin for light or easy (in motion).
Barotic - Baros (Greek) meaning heavy.

VITAL PRIMARY CONSTITUTIONAL TYPES.

Those who are fleshy, rotund, full in body build.

Carboferic - Carbon (sugar), feric (carrying).
Oxypheric - Oxy (oxygen) pheric (carrying).
Hydripheric - Hydrogen (water) carrying.
Nitropheric - Nitrogen carrying.
Lipopheric - Lipo (fat) carrying.
Pallinomic - Pallas (wise) omen (destined).

MUSCULAR PRIMARY CONSTITUTIONAL TYPES.

These people are quick, active and adaptable.

Desmogenic - Desmo (band), genic (producing), the ligamentous structures.
Marasmic - Marasmos, Greek meaning lean, emaciated.
Myogenic - Myo (muscle), genic (producing).

THE PATHOGENIC CONSTITUTIONS.

This refers to those who are born with an inherent predisposition to disharmony and disease (which can be overcome, however, by Understanding and developing the vitality).

Atrophic - A (not) trophic (nourish), or not able to digest food and nourish the body easily or sufficiently.
Medeic - Greek word Medea (Magic or able to enchant), so named Because the first man of this type whom we studied was a magician, although all are not magicians, of course.
Pargenic - Para (wrong), genic (birth) or tainted by birth.

There are therefore:

Four Mental Primary Constitution Chemical types,
Four Bony (Osseous) Primary Constitution Chemical types,
Six Vital Primary Constitution Chemical types,
Three Muscular Primary Constitution Chemical types, and,
Three Pathogenic types.

The four primary constitutions work together, and yet each separate and the significance is that each has its particular effect upon talent, disposition, character and state of health of the individual. The constitution is innate, and each person is born with a tendency to develop such a body. From these four primary constitutional divisions, which are fundamentally chemical in structure, we build our system of the Twenty Chemical.

Types of People.

The Brain and the Nerves of the Mental Primary Constitution utilise and call for phosphorus and sulphur. The bones, teeth, nails and solid structures throughout the body require primarily calcium, fluorine and silicon. The muscles call for potassium, sodium and chlorine. The Vital System develops from the elements oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon.

5.i. THE MENTAL CONSTITUTIONS.

NEUROGENIC CONSTITUTION TYPE OUTLINE.

CONSTITUTION, NEUROGENIC:

CAUSE:

Lack of physical vitality.
Lack of brain and nerve nutrition.
Lack of Calcium, Nitrogen, Carbon, Silicon, Magnesium, Sodium, and Oxygen, and an excess of Phosphorus.
These are the principal causes of the Neurogenic Constitution.

DEFINITION:

The word "Phosphorus" is the Greek word for this element, and means - Bearer of Light.
"Neuro" means "the nerves";
"Genic" means "generated by, or originated from";
"Neurogenic" means: "Generated by the nerves".

ACID OR ALKALINE:

Usually acid nerves and tissues, because of excessive Phosphorus Metabolism; hence, these people often suffer from neuralgia and nervous diseases.
They are subject to Phosphorus acid generation, due to the rapid consumption of Phosphorus in brain and nerve.

APPEARANCE:

Sadness in expression is common to the Neurogenic lady.
Neurogenics appear old at an early age become hollow-chested and stoop-shouldered.
They are refined and exclusive in appearance.
They are active and move the body continually.
They are very responsive to the looks, words, and actions of people.
Their facial expressions change much, and they show keen interest in what goes on around them.
They are among the shortest and most slender people there are.
They are always refined, neat and dainty in dress and appearance.
They have good taste.

ATTITUDE:

Positive - Aristocratic, proud, exclusive, when they have a square form of face.
Negative - When they have a pyriform type of face.
Neutral - In healthy people of this type.
As a general rule, the attitude is neutral in Neurogenics, for they are not interested in this world.
They assume a mystical attitude.
They are not interested in people, but they are interested in what happens around them.

BODILY HARMONY OR PROPORTION:

The body is out of harmony in all its parts, organs and functions.
The Vital and Motive systems are insufficiently developed, hence, the body is frail and small.

BUILD:

Frail and slender; built upon the principle of a lady's watch.
They cannot tolerate heavy blows or rough treatment.
They are easily injured and lack physical endurance.

CELL ACTIVITY (RATE OR VIBRATION):

High, but not so high as in the Exesthesic, Nervi-Motive and Desmogenic people.

COMPOSURE:

They are conventionally controlled people.
They have cultured manners and carry themselves well in society, but they do not possess constitutional composure.
They are irritable when they are tired, and they tire easily.

DENSITY OF STRUCTURE:

The cell structure is loose, soft, plastic and easily moulded or changed in form, i.e., the cell is responsive and so is the entire organisation.

FACE:

Prominent forehead, widest at the temples, lower part narrow and small.
Cheekbones are small to medium, cheeks small and concave.

GENERIC TYPE:

They are almost invariably masculine in Generic Type.
They are quite short and slender in stature, but the waistline is always high, or else normal in height, but never low.
They usually have square, flat shoulders, and the shoulders - the widest part of the body - taper down to the feet.

GESTURES:

Body - Lively.
Talks as much with gestures, as with the tongue.
Feet - Are restless in movements.
Hands - Are subject to many little nervous and unconscious motions, and still many more conscious, voluntary motions.
Head - Restless in motion, the same as with the eyes, nerves and mind.
Remarks - He is restless with his arms when he converses and makes all kinds of motions with the fingers and arms.
He beats the air and talks with eagerness.
As an orator, his eyes, features and hands move upwardly like wings.
He elevates his arms as though soaring in high altitudes when deeply interested in a subject.

HANDSHAKE:

Weak and cold, but always conventional.

HANDWRITING:

Delicate, with many graceful curves and flourishes.

HEIGHT:

From 4 feet 8 inches (1.42 meters), to 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 meters); usually about 5 feet 2 inches (1.58 meters).

LIFE FORCE:

Low, His Life Force is limited, because the base of the brain is not well developed.

MAGNETISM:

Psychic, intellectual, altruistic, conventional.

MENTAL CHARACTERISTICS:

Tactful, well mannered, refined, mentally prolific.
They are gifted speakers; and are creative, occult, mystical, metaphysical.
Will is weak, memory to feelings and ideas good.

NERVE FORCE:

When Nerve Force is low the heart mechanism suffers, nerve function is weakened, and thinking is nearly impossible.
When the nerves run short of lecithin, and the brain lacks vitality, the man is not himself.
They lose Nerve Force over little things, worry about insignificant things that live with them and make them nervous, until they become physical wrecks.
Anxiety, uncertainty, doubt, apprehension, idleness, morbidness, self-pity, despair, irritability, annoyance - all characterise the Neurogenic.

POISE:

Delicately poised.

POSITION, STANDING:

Standing on a broad base, and often seek support with hands, body, shoulders; weak but graceful.

Fresh air and warm baths are useful, as are deep massage and outdoor exercise.
Best climate: Cold or cool, with altitudes of 1400 to 3400 meters, and plenty of fresh, unpolluted air.

NERVI-MOTIVE CONSTITUTION TYPE OUTLINE.

CONSTITUTION, NERVI-MOTIVE:

CAUSE:

Great consumption of the combined action of the chemical elements: Phosphorus, Calcium and Sulphur.

DEFINITION:

"Nervi" - means Nerve; "Motive" of the Latin "Movere", means - to move; it is the Constitution in which the nerves are equally active as compared with the bones. It is a nerve and bone type combined.
Remarks - In the Exesthesic Constitution, the nerves and the emotions are the most active, and Sulphur consumption is the greatest.
In the Calciferic, the Will forces are predominating and bone-building (tri-Calcium phosphate) is the greatest; but in the Nervi-Motive, Phosphorus, Calcium and Sulphur consumption is great, and the emotive and volitive forces predominate.
There is great nerve action, nerve heat, great bone metabolism and heat and energy in the bones, and the brain is comparatively speaking, on fire.
This is the reason that Nervi-Motive people are so high-tempered, ardent, dogmatic, intolerant, industrious, energetic, "nervous", irritable, illnatured, choleric, vindictive, even mean and cruel when there is anything wrong, and even when there is nothing wrong.

PATHETIC CONSTITUTION TYPE OUTLINE.

CONSTITUTION, PATHETIC:

Cause:

When the three elements; carbon, hydrogen and phosphorus, unite as predominating factors in the organism of man, it creates difficulty in the assimilation of the organo-metallic salts, because will power and internal functional energy is lacking.
The mind of the Pathetic type is so sentimental that their chemistry is one-sided.
They lack willpower, power of concentration and power to metabolise the stronger or metallic chemical elements for body structure.
Hence the tissues are flabby.
Yet they appear so healthy that every physician will not hesitate to pronounce them a perfect specimen of health.
If the body chemistry is not balanced then they will suffer from nerve complaints and chronic diseases later.
The chronic ailments that arise usually medical science seems to be unable to cope with.

DEFINITION:

"Pathetic" is derived from the Greek term "patheticus," meaning - full of feeling or pathos (emotion, suffering).

The strongest part of the Calciferic is the sexual system. The weakest part of the Exesthesic is the sexual system.
The skin of the Calciferic is rough. The skin of the Exesthesic is velvety
The Calciferic likes long lessons and deep studies. The Exesthesic likes short lessons, variety and change.
The Calciferic is peaceful in times of peace, but warlike in times of war. The Exesthesic is irritable in times of peace, peaceful and steady in times of war.
The Calciferic is patient. The Exesthesic is fitful.
The Calciferic works steadily and patiently from morning until night. The Exesthesic works by spells.
The Calciferic can work early and late. The Exesthesic must work, rest and exercise by spells.
The Calciferic works steadily and patiently from morning until night. The Exesthesic works in spells.
The Calciferic is steady and continuous. The Exesthesic is unsteady and spasmodic.
The Calciferic is unceasing in effort. The Exesthesic is periodical and full of changes, like a variety show, or like a panorama of changing scenes.

The Calciferic retires early and arises early. The Exesthesic retires late and arises late.
The Calciferic wants abundant bed covering. The Exesthesic wants no covers in the evening, but much covering toward the morning.
The Calciferic keeps the feet well covered at night, because they are cold and moist. The Exesthesic uncovers the feet at night, because heat is generated in them after retiring.
The Calciferic gets too warm towards the morning. The Exesthesic gets cold towards the morning, but in the evening they are usually warm, even hot, due to the fact that the Cerebellum generates heat when they retire, but when they fall asleep the blood becomes slow and easy and the Cerebellum stops generating heat.
The Calciferic wants the windows closed during the night. The Exesthesic wants them open.
The Calciferic dislikes wind, cold, baths, and cold air. The Exesthesic is a lover of wind, storms, cold, moisture, and air and ocean scenery.

The Calciferic lives in the future. The Exesthesic lives in the present.
The Calciferic is an acutalist. The Exesthesic is an idealist.

CALCIFERIC CONSTITUTION TYPE OUTLINE.

CONSTITUTION, CALCIFERIC:

CAUSE:

Because Calcium phosphate predominates in this type, it influences character, talent, faculties, disposition, brain and soul.
Calcium stimulates certain faculties to greater action, viz., the more scientific and volitive; and restrains others, viz., the more emotional, sentimental, idealistic, appetitive and vital.

DEFINITION:

"Calci" means "lime"; "fer" means "carry";
"ic" means "relating to". "Calx" is Latin for lime;
the word "Calciferic" means "lime carrying".
Remarks - Calcium and lime are not exactly the same.
Calcium is that brilliant, silver-white element, which is the basis of lime and limestone, characterised especially for its great affinity for Oxygen, and its difficulty of isolation; and lime is the popular name for Calcium oxide.
Lime, therefore, is oxidised Calcium, or Calcium that has combined, chemically, with Oxygen.

CONSTITUTION, ISOGENIC:

CAUSE:

Toxic substances in the blood press upon the brain and arouse Combativeness, Destructiveness, Approbativeness, Amativeness, Cautiousness, Vitiativeness to strong action; producing irritability, temper, disgust, contempt, dark and unfavourable states of mind.
These have, of course, an unfavourable and an indirect influence on the haematogenic function, producing that pathogenic condition - the Isogenic Constitution.

SILLEVITIC CONSTITUTION TYPE OUTLINE.

CONSTITUTION, SILLEVITIC:

CAUSE:

Silicon, through its tonic, stimulating action upon the functions, organs and chemical elements and compounds in this organisation; also through its action upon Calcium and Phosphorus, upon protein, or upon vegetable tissue at large.
The cause of the Sillevitic Constitution is also hereditary, as is largely the case with every Constitution, for there is an underlying cause behind the chemistry of the body, which acts more strongly upon certain chemical elements, inducing them to act in certain combinations.
The organic elements are secondary in this organisation, for Sillevitic people are almost always lean and slender.

DEFINITION:

"Sil" meaning - silex, or flint; "ic" meaning - relating to; relating to silex, or flint.
Remarks - The word "Sillevitic" is taken from the word "Silicon" the name for Silex, or flint, in its abbreviated form, and from the Latin root "Levis" - light, easy.

The Barotic is slower than the Calciferic and more clumsy than the Isogenic.
He has in the lead the vital chemicals - Carbon, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, also Calcium, with Sulphur.
The brain and nerve metabolism is below par and bone and vital metabolism is in the ascendancy.
Therefore he is a physical type, but a superintendent of workers rather than one who does the work.
No one, not even himself, ever knows his strength until his own exhaust valves open up from terrific emotion or temper, and then he is primitive in his lack of control or restraint.
Push the Barotic man until he explodes and then all of the pent-up strength of Calcium, and his powerful cerebellum is back of the outburst.
There is a tremendous impulse locked up in this man, waiting to be released.

DEFINITION:

"Baros" means "heavy" in Greek; "ic" meaning - "relating to", "having to do with".

Deep creases and lines may appear on the face, denoting a powerful will and strong emotions; these are different from wrinkles indicating emaciation.
His skin is dusky, and there may be broken veins in the face because his blood is thick and does not flow freely through muscles and solid structures, while drainage of the brain and face are also not perfect.

GESTURES:

Body - The body is often so large that it seems disproportioned.

CAUSE:

The cause of the Atrophic constitution is not because of germs and miasms, but because of a weak physical brain, poorly constructed circulatory vessels, malnutrition, slender Mental-Osseous Primary Constitution, active nerves and brain, large forehead; poor oxidation, circulation and elimination - because they lack Calcium phosphates, blood salts, Phosphorus, lipids, the proper climate, work, environment, altitude, temperature, soil and air pressure.
The Atrophic man or woman is naturally weak in the Medulla or "Chest brain", which means that he is limited in his functions and powers of respiration and oxidation, digestion and assimilation.
He is predisposed to malnutrition, and is unable to secure sufficient Oxygen for tissues and blood by reason of a too weak action of the lungs.
