AV: We’ve touched on a lot of topics at the same time so far. To recap: everything you can think of exists. That is why there are homeopathic remedies we draw into reality through our collective ideas and the performance of certain rituals. However, like thoughts, they are charged with energy and can therefore work without physical manifestation.
Now I have such a mass of questions that I don’t know where to start.
G: OK, let’s hear it.
AV: Why do homeopathic remedies work at all? How do they work? What exactly do they do? Why do we need so many? Is that really necessary? Do we even need remedies or are healing thoughts enough? Why is homeopathy so difficult, so complex? So unpredictable? Why do so many different systems work in homeopathy? Why do we still not know how homeopathy works after 250 years? Is homeopathy actually based on one system or are there many systems under the same heading, namely the principle of similarity? Is there something in the entrainment theory?
G: More?
AV: Details perhaps: why is there no unanimity on potenties? By the way, do potenties matter? Are there people who don’t respond to homeopathy? What is the role of the homeopath in homeopathy? Sometimes remedies work in unskilled hands, sometimes they don’t: is that a fluke? To what extent does intuition play a role in homeopathic prescribing?
G: Jesus!
AV: For now, that’s all, but I can’t help but say that I’m not very pleased with this result after intensive homeopathy practice for several decades.
G: You’ll feel better if we look at the questions one by one. Where do you want to start? We had already touched on what homeopathy is not….
AV: My first axiom: homeopathy has no remedies for ailments was wrong. Although the principle of similarity requires us to use a remedy that can induce symptoms similar to those from which the patient suffers, we have been able to identify specific remedies over time that are almost always effective for certain ailments. However, these drugs have proven in tests that they can cause similar symptoms and therefore comply with the similarity law. I mean that they are therefore not used in the way of regular medicine to suppress symptoms. It was in the careless wording. The second conclusion was that homeopathic remedies are not substances from nature, where we have extracted the essence or the information by potentizing it, but that they are symbols, thought forms, brought to manifestation through intention and rituals.
G: That’s how far we’d come. Before we get into the many questions, perhaps we should first frame homeopathy in the entirety of your reality. What place do you assign to homeopathy in this?
Homeopathy and reality
AV: According to several scholars, what we call reality is also just a symbolic representation of an underlying reality. Our reality is determined by the perception of our senses. Bernard Kastrup uses a nice analogy: we read the results of our sensory information like an airplane pilot reads the data on his dashboard. Of course, that is not the whole of reality, because we would go crazy if we could perceive all frequencies, vibrations and connections of and between everything, down to the smallest atom. People under the influence of drugs or through a oneness experience report that overwhelming complexity, which they sometimes experience as confusing, sometimes as divine. However, the ordinary reality in front of us that we read on the dashboard is effective in maintaining us in our 3D reality. It gives us enough information to deal with everything that surrounds us in a material world. Even if we realize, like the airplane pilot, that the dashboard does not represent reality-as-it-is but a filtered version via measuring instruments, in our case our senses, then homeopathy must be on that dashboard. You could say that homeopaths have a homeopathy meter…
G: Or app..
AV:… or app installed on their dashboard.
G: Go on.
AV: So they’re capturing a part of the reality that’s missing from other people’s dashboards. Not everyone has all possible apps or measuring tools on their dashboard. Or is it rather the case that everybody has all the tools at their disposal, but simply does not use some of them? For an airplane pilot, it makes sense to see only the information on his dashboard that is necessary for the safe operation of his aircraft. But for a life in the 3D experience, I assume that the dashboard is equipped with a lot more measuring instruments.
G: Not everyone is equipped with a complete set; Potentially, yes, but in reality one chooses a model that best serves to accomplish his or her life plan. If that is one where the registration of sound is lacking, it is because the soul has chosen the experience of deafness. If it is one on which the movement does not work smoothly, then the soul wants to experience what it is like to be in need of help.
AV: I hadn’t looked at it that way before.
G: There are people whose dashboard, as you call it, doesn’t record clear data about the day-to-day reality with and of other people. They are given a medical label, and we call them people with disabilities.
AV: And am I supposed to understand it to mean that there are people who activate a homeopathic set on their dashboard? A set that registers and interprets reality in a certain way?
G: With your analogy, yes, something like that. You could also say that it is a certain perspective to look at reality.
AV: I see. There are also many other ways of viewing and registering. After all, all therapies interpret reality in their own way and base their therapeutic interventions on this underlying worldview. They all claim to be successful, no matter how different their methods, means or modalities may be. This seems to indicate that there is not one therapy that is better or more correct than another, but rather that they all have something in common despite their diversity.
G: The inevitable conclusion.
