| Response to Jan Scholten
In several aspects Jan Scholten brought about a quantum leap
in the development of homeopathy:
He took a system preformed in nature
and analysed it in a systematic way. He elaborated themes for different
electronic shells of the Periodic Table and offered a condensed
Materia Medica, focused on symptoms, modalities, a type and a psychological
constellation of each particular element. So we are able to drop
less important or completely inappropriate aspects from the Materia
Medica (compare C. Hering). The psychological aspect is
the most important and leading issue concerning a remedy (S. Hahnemann, Organon). On the other hand
we are also able to quickly understand the core of the patient’s
problem by group analysis, comparing one element with the other.
This further enables us to understand the Terra Incognita (unproved
remedies) here of the Periodic Table.
Touching daily practise, numerous
cases can now be easily solved, can be cured in depth, which formerly
had no chance to be cured. Hundreds of minerals are offered directly
to fit closely to the patient’s constitution and his life-themes.
I myself could never understand why
remedies should be discovered step-by-step, by occasion. If this
world is a continuum, what it seems to be, the view at the Materia
Medica has also come from a central point of view, from “the only
one” as a point of reference, details must be related properly (compare
D. Bohm).
What G. Galilei did for the heliocentric
world view, J. Scholten did for homeopathy: that is, to go away
from a narrow perspective of just taking “what we have” to proceed
to an abstract point of view from which we look at “that which exists”.
Here, Jan brought about a well-ordered classification for homeopathy.
So far he has done it for the minerals and is proceeding to investigate
the plant kingdom. His work about plants has the same clearness
and precision a scientist is able to achieve.
Response
to Rajan Sankaran
Above all, I appreciate the investigations of Rajan Sankaran concerning
the characters of the kingdoms as well as his insight in the kingdom
of the plants. His distinguished investigation of the plants seems
to be another quantum leap in homeopathy and I was able to confirm
some contents of his suggestions. It is very impressive to observe
how hidden messages are condensed in this particular kingdom. He
beautifully describes the link to subtle psychic energies working
behind the physical appearance.
Allow me to give an example. A case of Lactuca virosa (a
boy who buys a python snake and feeds them with mice, he feeds piranhas
with goldfish) was solved by Scholten‘s precise system concerning
the Compositae, whereas a Sarsaparilla-case (symbiosis,
mistreating a child, Muenchausen-by-proxi-syndrome) very clearly
shows the theme of the Liliaflore and especially the Ringworm
miasma, which is strikingly described and categorized by Sankaran.
If
Sankaran speaks of
the continuum existent in the 7th level, I would suggest
not to integrate that “continuum” into the system and not to value
it. The continuum cannot be measured but is endless, without limits
and has no name, it is beyond the levels, however, within them at
the same time.
David Bohm in his book Wholeness
and the implicate Order says: "Original and creative insight
within the whole field of measure is the action of the immeasurable.
For, when such insight occurs, the source cannot be within the ideas
already contained in the field of measure, but rather has to be
in the immeasurable, which contains the essential formative cause
of all that happens in the field of measure".
