AV: We had come to the point of discussing how all of creation passes through the gate of the triangle in sacred geometry. And how from that one pattern can be made all the others.
G: Actually, it is more accurate to say that everything passes through the vesica pisces, the eye of God, where 2 circles overlap and where the I and the not-I, Being and the being are both separate and overlapping. There have to be 2 in order to be able to split myself into the experience of my endless creations and at the same time stay in the inseparable unity. In the vesica pisces, the first and simplest geometric shape is the equilateral triangle and off we go!.
AV: The beautiful image of the underlying pattern of the flower of life is throughout all times and cultures, left behind in countless representations for those who come after them. Can we also situate homeopathy somewhere in there?
G: What do you think?
AV: There is no other way. In this sub-area, I mean that app on our dashboard, the rules and knowledge of the whole thing must be decided. So you can approach them from both sides: study the part to understand the whole or understand the whole to know how the part works.
G: Isn’t that what you do all the time? Studying homeopathy to understand some of the mysteries of life and study the ‘whole’, in the form of philosophy, psychology, anthropology, spirituality; yet a search for universal truths, to apply them in homeopathy?
AV: … never ending…. You know my frustration at being burdened with those relentless questions and mysteries about everything that matters in life and at the same time not being equipped with the ability to find answers. I don’t think it’s fair.
G: Let’s first focus on the answers you’ve found so far.
AV: We’ve talked about my diagram which is a visual, schematic representation of what I think we’re doing when we’re looking for the similimum. We consider the 5th level, ‘beyond body and mind’, to be the level of uniqueness, the experience of being ‘me’. Since there are more levels than 5, we talked about the patterns, the geometric shapes that lie behind the multiplicity of phenomena. They are limited in number and therefore, if you wish, the place where we must look for the simplification of homeopathy. Could it be that every large group has an underlying pattern from which endless variations arise? We can hypothesize these patterns without necessarily knowing them, although it might be easier if we had direct access to them.
G: But now homeopathy has a tool…
AV: Oh, yes?
G: De Vital Approach Map of Homeopathic Families.
AV: Oh…. (blush) that’s what you mean. That’s the best I could come up with. By the way, I had the idea that my hand was held when I designed it.
G: Your hand is My hand.
AV: But how can I know? Do you sometimes hold my hand and sometimes you don’t? How do I know the difference? And why?
G: There is no difference between what you do and what I do, you are one experience of mine, which is what it is like to be Anne. So everything Anne does, I do or I have done, because there is free will. Because I don’t use terms like ‘good’ or ‘bad’ or ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, there are only experiences and observations. Not everything you make or do is equally ‘good’ in your world. You’ve cooked meals that were delicious but others that failed, you’ve filled pages with passionate words and catchy phrases, and others have been uninspiring attempts. Was that ‘good’ or ‘bad’? Is sun good and rain bad? Or vice versa? No, there is a distinction, surely, an eagle is not a sparrow, but is one good and the other bad?
AV: I see. But even without value judgment, the fact remains that I have good and not so good ideas.
G: And you attribute the good ones to me and the not-so-good ones to yourself.
AV: When you put it like that, it sounds comical, but there’s truth to it.
G: (Raises eyes… to uh… heaven)
AV: So the Map is basically the tool I’m looking for. I thought I would get a little closer to simplification with the underlying patterns, because it still takes a lot of study and insight to arrive at a certain group after a consultation with the Map.
G: You’ve already drawn out the broad outlines. 2D and its groups and 3D and its groups, plus increasing complexity from top to bottom and from left to right. The Map includes a lot of complexity but not that difficult to grasp. Don’t forget that patterns can also be recorded in codes, formulas and numbers.
AV: That’s where I get stuck: my gut tells me that there is clarification to be found there, but my mind is in the dark.
G: That means the time is not yet ripe.
The quality of time
AV: O, dear, I just requested that meeting with you to get answers to my questions, not to be sent off with a runaround.
G: Don’t take that as an offense. I mean that the time is not right in the homeopathic world. You have accepted yourself as a pioneer, albeit grumblingly, but if you are too far ahead, no one will follow and you will disappear from sight. At most, you get a footnote in a footnote in a work by someone who did follow the spirit of the times, a mention that a certain AV described things 40-50 years ago in an obscure book, which no one has read.
AV: Recognizable.
G: That’s what I want to protect you from. You find it hard enough to be ahead of the curve, but you’re not out of sight. There are people who follow on your heels on the path you have mapped out. Many of your ideas have resonated in the homeopathic world and are successfully applied. All of that could be lost if you came up with insights that no one can fit into his or her homeopathic worldview. You are then considered to have gone astray and people lose interest.
AV: Is it just that? I often feel that a good impressario would be more capable to spread my ideas, even if they were a bit more innovative.
G: A good impresario can only sell what the man wants and can hear.
AV: If you look around you, it seems that you can sell anything with advertising…
G: We’re talking about propaganda and Mind Control, but I’m sure that’s not what you meant. I’m talking about the quality of time: the constellation must be suitable to allow certain events or information.
G: So I have to resign myself to the fact that I won’t get answers to certain questions, for my own good.
G: I’ve explained why.
AV: It’s disappointing, although I don’t doubt Your wisdom. So the Map is provisional, until there are better versions or new insights it is a good tool. Still, I think it’s complex.
Intuition and consensus
G: Being able to capture the unique, essential, most fundamental in someone in one consultation of an hour or two is quite a complex thing, don’t you think?
AV: I have to admit that. That’s why we’re always looking for tools to find it faster and with greater precision
G: But it is not your problem, is it? You can request your ‘helpers’ without much effort.
AV: It’s not a problem for me. I can count on my ‘inspiration’ to determine the remedy. But for homeopathy it is a problem: those who are unable to do so, perhaps for the time being, need reliable information. They need to have methodologies, rules, schedules, systems that help them. Or intuition: a large number of homeopaths already use that. However, this creates the problem that different intuitive homeopaths will come up with different intuitive remedies, and there is no arguing about intuition. If, on the other hand, there are methods and systems, we can communicate about them, make corrections, agree or disagree and argue our view.
G: That would make different homeopaths come to the same conclusion?
P: Uh, no, we’re not there yet. Inadvertently, we have seen evidence of this in a conference where, let’s say, the top 10 homeopaths were invited to do a live analysis of cases on site. They came to very different conclusions, so that, contrary to the original intention, it became clear that we are far from speaking with one mouth, using one language and arriving at one uniform prescription. A big disappointment.
G: May I point out that this is the most normal thing in your world. There is no consensus in any area. If you think this is the case in the scientific world: think again!
AV: You’re right: there is seeming consensus because all dissidents are censored, any dissenting findings ignored or worse. In fact, it is the signature of science through the ages, no matter how vociferously proud it is of their ever-changing scientific facts.
G: Advancing insight…
AV: If that’s not well found! It also creates a false image of modesty, while any unbiased scientist who undermines the prevailing paradigm is silenced, fired, ruined and threatened.
G: Because your “science” is based on faith. And because this has not been recognized or opposed by the faithful, it is even more militant.
AV: Rupert Sheldrake, who exposed the 10 axioms of science, paid for it with a ban on Ted Talks (put back due to major protests, but since then Tedtalks has exposed its fundamental biases and lost its reputation as a “free platform” forever). But what does that have to do with the fact that homeopaths can’t agree on a similimum for a patient.
H: I just wanted to point out that this is also the case in other areas, that the apparent consensus is the result of interests and positions of power and not of true consensus. In homeopathy, therefore, a consensus has not yet been reached as there is no such controlling and censoring power. But would you be happier if homeopathic universities were established around the world that taught the one and only homeopathy they consider to be the right one? Then all homeopaths who have graduated from a recognized university would agree on the one true homeopathic method: namely, the one they have been taught. All others would have no chance, would be called pseudo-homeopathy, or unhomeopathic or at best ‘unproven’, at worst condemned, forbidden and punished. But there would be consensus.
AV: If you put it that way, I prefer the ‘flea market’ to which I compare current homeopathy: a lot of junk but also a lot of treasures to find.
G: Be glad that there is multiplicity and that no ruling paradigm has been able to conquer power. By the way, isn’t it the same with religion? With art? What’s the truth there? The one truth?
AV: I see where our difficulties come from. As a result of your clarification, they appear to be less difficulties and more facts. And possibilities.
G: You can see this without relativize everything with slogans like ‘the therapy doesn’t matter’, ‘the remedy is not necessary’ and the like. Not all blobs of paint are art (not even modern ones). Not all art is equal or equal. From first experiments to genius masterpieces, they all have their place. There is no good and bad art, but everyone according to his or her stage of development expresses himself…
AV:…. According to their godliness and the best of their ability…
G: Amen.
