 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The Physis Fraternity is not a political order, association, party or group, and the study and training which individual members of the Physis Fraternity undertake is for the purpose of their own individual guidance and development.
In essence, Physis re-connects individuals to their unique racial psyche and reveals to them what their unique Destiny as Aryans is. For the next millennium, the Destiny of the Aryan warrior is to fight for and aid that which expresses in a practical way the unique Aryan ethos.
Physis involves only: (a) practical effective techniques designed to train the body and mind of the individual in certain ways; and (b) and understanding of and participation in the natural and pagan ethos (or 'religious attitude') of the European.

 Two Conceptions of Physis in Aristotle’s Ethics and Politics
physis is thus introduced: in what follows, he gives a kind of reduction of secondary instances of nature to a primary instance which is “substance.” According to the terms of the reductive analysis, “substance” is mentioned in each of the secondary definitions of nature, showing that substance is logically presupposed by the other notions.
physis in relation to moral virtue is two-fold: one must be human and not another kind of animal, and second, one must have a certain kind of body and a certain kind of soul.
physis in the practical works: where he speaks about the moral capacities of free men, “nature” figures as a first level potentiality able to be formed by right practice; in the cases of free women and slaves, “nature” figures as a fixed disposition that precludes being informed by right practice.

 Physis
Physis is fundamentally a practical expression of the Aryan, warrior, ethos, and this ethos is enshrined in the Weltanshcauung, or philosophy, of the National-Socialism of Adolf Hitler.
The physical training of Physis is geared toward developing this awareness - and spontaneous, effective, reaction - by exercises designed primarily to develope co- ordination, agility, stamina, strength, determination and awareness.
The general aim of Physis is to recruit and train dedicated warriors whose aim is to live and act in an Aryan way.

 Physis - Physico-Psycho-Spiritual Nature
Physis represents the lowest formed plane of prakriti, and the orgin not only of sensation and the objects of sense, but also the physical aspect or resonance or emanation of Psyche (Mind, Emotion, Desire-Will) and even of higher states.
To understand physis it is necessary to get away from the "cartesian-newtonian" idea of an irreconcilably duality of inert objective matter or body on the one hand, and spirit-soul-consciousness on the other (the "ghost in the machine" to quote Koestler who was quoting Ryle).
For that matter, most clairvoyants have not moved beyond Physis (clairvoyance itself is a form of physis-perception); auras, chakras, the subtle body, the astral plane as usually described - these are all or at least almost all physis.

 Physis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Physis (φύσις) is a Greek theological, philosophical, and scientific term usually translated into English as "nature".
In medicine the word physis is used for the growing part of a bone, an illustration of how vital growth is to its nature.
In modern times, metaphysics is associated with the supernatural or immaterial world, perhaps because the concept of "laws of nature" implied in modern science are hardly perceived to imply metaphysical beliefs and reasoning.

 Beyond Mechanism: The Universe in Recent Physics and Catholic Thought - Athenaeum Library of Philosophy
And physis is rendered into English as "nature," which comes from the Latin "natura," and thus in turn from the verb "nascor" which, like "phyo," is also associated with giving birth.
What I wish to suggest here, then, Is this: that the meaning of physis (nature), is for Aristotle disclosed in the first instance by the meaning of act (that in virtue of which something is said to be actual).
I thereby wish to suggest that the meaning of matter, in the sense of matter as it is a part of nature in its proper—actual—sense, is likewise disclosed in the first instance by the meaning of act.

Early changes include widening and irregularity of the physis, decreased epiphyseal height compared to the opposite side, and failure of a line drawn along the superior surface of the femoral neck to intersect the epiphysis.
There is a widening of the physis through the hypertrophic zone with cartilage columns disrupted, clusters of unorganized cartilage, scanty endochondral ossification and decreased collagen fibrils.
The closer to the physis, the better is the anatomical restoration, but the higher the risk of AVN and chondrolysis and vice versa.

In this injury, the width of the physis is increased.
The growing zone of the physis usually is not injured, and growth disturbance is uncommon.
This fracture passes through the hypertrophic layer of the physis and extends to split the epiphysis, inevitably damaging the reproductive layer of the physis.

The physis is responsible for the longitudinal bone growth.
The cartilaginous growth plates are the weakest area of the bone in immature animals and are predisposed to fracture.
The fracture involves both the physis and the epiphysis (these are articular fractures).

 SparkNotes: Presocratics: Themes, Motifs, and Symbols
The search for a physis is also the search for a unifier within nature—either for some substance that is the most basic constituent of the world and of which everything else is somehow a variation, or else for some pattern through which all things in the world form a unity.
To try once again to apply the physis problem to modern science, today we would probably say that the physis, in this second sense, is both a basic constituent (again the subatomic particles) and a lawlike pattern (the laws of quantum mechanics that govern the behavior of these subatomic particles).
His physis was an infinite, indefinite substance, that he referred to as the "apeiron".

The periosteal stripping is performed laterally to allow increased growth at the lateral radial physis; trans-physeal bridging is performed medially to slow the growth of the medial radial physis.
Surgical techniques that alter the growth at the physis need to be performed at a young age and cause correction of the deviation as rapidly as possible to take advantage of this normal growth curve.
The irregular appearance of the physis of the tuber calcaneus (arrowheads) is normal for the age of the patient.

 eMedicine - Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis : Article Excerpt by: Brent Adler, MD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
By convention, position and alignment in SCFE is described by referring to the relationship of the proximal fragment (capital femoral epiphysis) to the normal distal fragment (femoral neck).
Because the physis has yet to close, the blood supply to the epiphysis still should be derived from the femoral neck; however, this late in childhood, the supply is tenuous and frequently lost after the fracture occurs.
The nutrient vessels of the epiphysis are beginning to penetrate the physis as it closes, and when the physis is disrupted, avascular necrosis of the head may result, particularly if the head is manipulated.

 The female trinity- Sophia, Physis, and the Virgin
At one of the tables a woman physician- whom afterward I was to call Physis- was working frantically, attempting to resurrect one of the bodies.
Finally Physis moved back from the table and pronounced that the job was finished, and that she had been triumphant.
That is, whereas the upper-trinity (and I use the terms upper and lower without value judgment) consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, the lower-trinity consists of Sophia, Physis, and the Virgin, otherwise known as the wise female archetype, feminine matter, and the openness of female concavity.

Especially not physis—first on Scripture grounds—next on grounds of reason—The divine physis must retain the fulness of its attributes—therefore the human physis must have a restricted meaning—How then is there a human physis at all?—Hence the form and the force of Cyril's Formula.
In the same epistle Alexander speaks of the [mesiteuousa physis monogenes]; and Athanasius speaks of the [physis] of the Son being less divisible from the Father than the radiance from the sun, de Syn.
The [physis tou logou], he says, signifies neither hypostasis alone, nor what is common to the hypostases, but [ten koinen physin en tei tou logou hypostasei holikos theoroumenen].

 The Problem of Mechanism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The term physics, comes from the Greek physis and thus in turn from the verb phyo, which means "to bring forth, produce, put forth; to beget, engender, generate" and so on (Lidell and Scott Lexicon).
These terms seem to me apt, since they are commonly taken to; be characteristic of organisms i.e., the immanent activity of form and finality, internality of relation among the distinct "parts" of the organism, and consequently a wholeness of the organism which is distinct from the sum of its "parts.
First of all, nature (matter in its actual instances) seen by Aristotle to be internally active (e.g., formal and final) now becomes a nature (matter) without such internal activity, hence a nature (matter) which is essentially inert (or as Descartes says, in repose).

 The Physician and Sportsmedicine: How I Manage Physeal Fractures About the Knee
The distal femoral physis is the largest in the body and is quite vulnerable to medial-lateral, anterior-posterior, and rotational stresses because of its size and topographical morphology.
The medial and lateral collateral ligaments attach to the femur at the epiphysis, which is distal to the physis; this leaves the physis, not the ligaments, more likely to be injured.
Remember that the distal femoral physis contributes two thirds of the adult length of the femur, and just over one third of the length of the lower extremity.

 Nomos and Physis - History for Kids!
The Greeks often thought of the world as being a fight, or an agon, between the two forces of rationalism and chaos, or between law and nature.
The god Apollo was the representative of nomos even among the gods; he was always fighting snakes and dragons and sea monsters, who represent physis for the Greeks.
Women in general tend to be (in the view of Greek men) on the side of physis, while men are generally on the side of nomos: men can control themselves while women become hysterical (the word is Greek and it means to be taken over by your uterus).

 Physis :: Creation of the World :: Timaeus, Genesis, The Making of Man
Our material part holds together, and is upheld when it is controlled by nature; and on the other hand is dissolved and disorganized when it is separated from that which upholds and sustains it, and is dissevered from its conjunction with beauty and goodness.
Greeks did not begin to learn what physis is through the natural phenomena, but on the contrary: through a foundational poetic and noetic experience of Being, there opened before them what they will call physis.
That way, then, physis, in the primary and original sense, means as much the sky as the earth, as much the stone as also the plants, as much the animals as man and human history as a work of men and of Gods, finally and above all it means Gods themselves with their destiny.
