The American Medical Association, (AMA) Have recognised that ALL Chronic disease originates from over stressing our nervous system. Events such as Trauma, Loss, Overwork, Financial Worry, and Uncertainty can lead to the development of physical symptoms. So what is Homeopathy, and how can it help?
The question comes, How do we treat these problems when they arise? With ongoing stress, General Medical treatment will not "cure" the problem, it can only "remove" physical symptoms. This in turn leads to more problems as general medicines produce "side effects' which also need medicines.
Of course what constitutes nervous stress is different for each individual. Some people thrive in conditions that would be seen as "stressful" to others, or adapt to stressful situations easily.
Inheritance can affect how an individual manages the effects of "stress". It can therefore be implicated in the manifestation of disease in an individual. However, it is also now known that DNA can change. It acts more like a library from which the life force extracts information than a fixed block of Data always giving the same result.
Collective Unconsciousness
Carl Jung proposed that there is a 'Collective Unconscious' which is innate and common to all, a psychic energy field archiving all images of every aspect of creation and including all aspects of human experience, thought, imagination and memory resulting in a matrix of potential possibilities which find expression in the human psyche and played out on the stage of life.
Evidence for the same can be seen in the phenomenon that "The TIMES Crossword" is easier to do in the afternoon than the morning when it is first released. This has given time for the Collective Unconscious to receive and process the information from those who first managed to solve the puzzle. It is then available for the benefit of others attempting to solve it.
Thus collective Unconscious is also the source of the "archetypes" of human consciousness. Examples include The Spiritual Cultural Hero, recognised as The Christ figure, The Warrior for Good, or their opposite The Antichrist, or the Black magician who works with the forces against life. In psychotherapy these opposing forces are the Shadow Self and the Spirit, the ego Vs the Id.
Archetypal Wisdom
In Homeopathy, the principle of "Potentisation" traps and amplifies the "Archetypal Wisdom" of a substance, whether plant, animal or mineral. When transported via the medium of water, administered according to the "law of similarity" this Archetype releases the memory of this unconsciousness relevant to the individual at that time. It brings forth moderation and insight, and thereby stimulates the necessary changes that need to me made.
In this way the past is changed by the present. When learning Homeopathy we are told of a patient who fell out with a close relative. Living on different continents, they were no longer talking. Within a day of the patient receiving the remedy, her relative called wishing to reconnect after several years without contact.
Healing & Homeopathy
One of the precepts of Homeopathic teaching is that ALL life moves to heal itself. In order to do this, the soul of an individual has to be separated from the ego self with which it has become intertwined through programming from the past, (karma, family inheritance, etc.)
"Who we are, who we think we are are, how we act and react, is largely determined by our ingrained past. These are distorting filters that produce the idiosyncrasies of the ego-self and represent the disease from which the soul suffers. They are ingrained into a personal time line into the present from the past" (David Lilly, 2017).
Healing the soul requires that this time line is changed. This is achieved through the remedy, containing the Archetypical image perceived to be the closest fit to the idiosyncrasies of the patient's ego self. Homeopathy is the reason you choose the remedy, not the remedy or the method involved, it is purely a principle.
This is why the homeopathic principle, when correctly applied, can produce the most amazing results. Because remedies applied through this method have that ability to change the past. They remove the tendency to respond pathologically when put under stress.
