Dear K and Friends:

Re Homeopathy

Much of this work centers around the medical work of Paracelsus. It also
relates of course to Alchemy, and a great deal is a result of the ever
on-going study of herbs and simples. .

The homeopathic system can be approached through their literature, and
MATERIA MEDICA.  

Very little is public or widely considered (in Allopathic and bio-chemical
orthodox circles) to be factual. 

This is precisely because the "physical side" (the molecular) can be shown
by quantitative chemical analysis to vanish (as a mere physical substance)
leaving behind an indefinite, but potent "influence" -- which so far as our
physical instruments are concerned, are not yet able to precisely detect or
determine their nature.  

Additionally, many of the "cures" are specific to a particular person and
are not to be handled in a mechanical fashion. A good homeopath makes a
thorough analysis of the patient in terms not only physical, but
psychological. 

The correlates or analogs may be in considering that a "thought" or a
"feeling," while intangible, yet direct and control a human's interests and
actions. 

After all, consider that the "Real Person" is not a mere interactive
spasmodic series of synapses in a living brain. And what makes the
difference between the substance of the living, intelligent man or woman
and the same brain matter after their "death?" 

No one has yet ben able to weigh the human "Soul."( Although some
experiments conducted years ago were reported as having seen a quantitative
loss of a small amount of weight that suddenly occurred several hours after
physical death was pronounced.)     

And the "SPIRIT" is to many, merely an ideal and a delusion. But to the
philosopher as well as the ordinary man and woman, both their "Soul" and
their "Spirit" are facts. (Though they may use other words, labels and
names for them.) 

In this study (of homeopathy) it seems that much is centered around the
power of prana and the resulting effects on the astral currents in and
through the astral body. Not much is given on this.

What Paracelsus, and his school and followers have pointed to, was the
pranic (life-giving) power of some substances. I do not have further
details to offer.

But those who are interested will find on investigation that the science of
Homeopathy is still alive and used.

Best wishes,

Dallas

Subject: the nature of the energy: 

According to theosophical teachings which kind or type of energy is carried
from one homeopathic solution to another by these dilutions/powering in this
case?
Etheric?

" Essentially, remedies beyond the 12C or 24X strength statistically 
contain no atoms or molecules of the original substance. "
