Order." The table consists of 6 columns and 9 rows for dicotyledons; it also includes monocotyledons, but I will not be explained in this work. In this work, I will describe the table synthetically.
I will focus solely on column 1 ("Magnoliidae").
First, I will describe the characteristics of the Subclasses (columns) and the rows:
Columns (1st to 6th):
The Columns describe the development (evolution) of the Being, from the total lack of ego in the 1st column to the formation of a strong ego in the 6th column. The botanical subclasses are located in the columns. The subclasses represent the stages of evolution of plants as they move from the most primitive to the most sophisticated. During this process, initially, they have to pass through the feminine principle and then through the masculine principle to become a separate, mature, and individualized self.
Rows (1st to 9th):
They describe the Evolution of existence, from "non-existence" (before birth) of the 1st row to "old age" (end of life) of the 9th row.
The Rows consist of plant orders. In each column, the orders are arranged in rows, according to the increasing level of botanical development (each level is botanically and evolutionarily more advanced than the preceding one). These levels form the rows of the table.
The first row contains the most primitive plants of each column, while the last ones are more developed plants. The rows start with a previous state, unprepared for the themes of the related column, and then progress to higher levels; the complete maturity level of that column is achieved in the last row of the table. The last row of each column also contains the first signs of the first row of the next column.
M. Yakir has used the work of Erik Erikson (1902 - 1994) to understand the different stages of development within each subclass in flowering plants.
The themes of the Orders, when arranged in evolutionary sequence, reveal a correspondence with the stages of human psychosocial development from birth to old age.
The nine rows correspond to the stages of human maturation and are: - Uterine stage (before birth)
- Infancy stage (0 to 1 year)
