2009 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Name Fact Emotion Delusion Sensation Energy/source Seven Until Hahnemanns’ days people believed disease was caused by cold, draft, humidity, spoiled air, bad evaporations… Hahnemann however concluded chronic diseases were caused by inherited or acquired, constitutional weaknesses and tendencies Therefor one should not only take the actual symptoms into account but the totality of all the above mentioned The vitality The nature, quantity and distribution of energy Also needs ‘food’: ‘energy’ from nutrition, clean air and water, exercise, sound breathing, bathing, massages, body postures, manipulations, odors, sunlight, colors, etc The dimension between 1st and 3rd The world of elements, raw materials, radioactive elements, minerals, crystals, primitive beings like virusses en bacteria From which all creatures are evolved: plants and animals of the 3de dimension The 2nd dimension beings can be considered as the ancestors of man Metals, minerals, crystals, chemicals elements: building blocks in our physical body are from the same nature (= similar) They resonate in our energetic body and our health depends on that harmony Alchemy tries to understand and use telluric forces Geomantics is the art which people could use to harmonize with the frequencies of the earth Hahnemann was well acquanted with alchemy What we would now call constitution: the genetic make up of our physical body (DNA from mother and father) And the susceptibiity for certain disorders, in other words = to resonate harmonious or out of tune with certain elements, virusses or bacteria In our energy household only a few disturbances are possible: The quantity (psora) The distribution (sycose) The nature (syfilis) Sankaran defined disease as delusion If miasms are classificiations of diseases, they are also classifications of delusions Delusions belong to the psyche, hence level 4 Miasms according to Hahnemann represent the characteristics of the body (level 1 and 2) Miasms according to Sankaran represent characteristics of the mind (niveau 3 and 4) They exist simultanuously and complement each other Remedies made of bacteria and virusses, diseased tissue, excretions or mixtures of these Some have a proving, others don’t They are supposed to contain the signature of the disease As a starter or to finish a constitutional treatment To clarify a unclear remedy picture As a ‘common’ homeopathic remedy on the basis of its indications To remove the blockade ‘Never well since’ As profylactic (F.i. in an epidemy)) If the vital sensation is the ‘what, the the miasm is the ‘how’ F. i. the specific sensation of being fragile (Conifer) When we understood the miasm-information and not the sensation, then the nosode given will diminish the miasmatic aspect and clarify the sensation Only miasm information No reference to any kingdom Cases seem superficial, down to earth, ‘fact level’ Whatever topic discussed, it’s a dead end The patient seems unwilling or incapable of getting ‘in touch with his emotions’ It all comes down to one thing (for instance: I need to control, I try this and try that and finally resign, as long as it changes, it’s OK) The vital sensation of the patient is this one, persistent, repetitive and deepest feeling or ‘condition to be OK’ It’s there in all circumstances, occcasions, levels, periods and domains of ones life Which is the definition of the ‘vital sensation’ Is prescribed on level 5 and expressed on level 4 Has nothing to do with the physical characteristics A Carcinosinum on level 5 can be a sycotic in his physical make up The sensation represents in these cases not a substance but an idea or a survival mechanism of the psyche Besides the three main kingdoms (animal, plant and mineral) : Monera Fungi (cfr Frans Vermeulen) Imponderables More classifications are possible (sea or watercreatures, desert remedies, carbons, parasites,… ) Invasiveness Toxigenicity Fast reproduction Contagion Communication Colonization Strategy Evolutionary Symbiotic Co-operative Genetically flexible Socialised Democratic Victims/aggressors subjective objective individual I it Individual collective we its collective subjective objective Polarity: disease and health Vital sensation: I’m not normal (because I’m ill) and all the others are normal The focus is on being weak or strong and all one can and must do for that Particular interest in eating= The right diet, eating enough, eat oneself strong, overeat the disease, errors in diet make one ill, need for supplements, special nutrients, ‘power’ food They want to know everything, be familiar with, want to come everywhere, discuss with people, have many interests, are very inquisitive and studious The main reason is: being able to adapt A virus needs an organism to live and procreate, the patient wants to know everything about the other on order to be able to empathize, ‘enter into’ the other They talk in length about influences, the arrival, intrusion, the conduct, behaviour, ideas of others, any kind of influence from outside The sensation is: after that you are not the same anymore In can be expressed as a fascination (active reaction) or a fear (passive reaction)
