“the most incomprehensible
thing about the world is that it is
at all comprehensible.”
― Albert Einstein
The more success the quantum theory has, the sillier it looks.
"We may therefore regard matter as being constituted by the regions of space in which the field is extremely intense. ...There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality.”
Quantum Physics and Homeopathy
By this point you are likely asking what this has to do with homeopathy. I am presenting this information to you of the findings in physics over the last century to provide a base for stating again that medical science has not kept up with it.
Physics has reported extraordinary findings in this last century which have turned our view of the physical universe upside down. These findings have not been incorporated into the world view of contemporary medicine which is still grounded in the philosophy of materialism, the physics of the 1800’s. Physics tells us that all physical substance is a localized manifestation of a field of influence which is its source, its reason for being.
Therefore, by objecting to the basic principle of Hahnemann’s, basically the same statement, that there is a non-physical influence responsible for the manifestation of living forms, they are expressing the old view that there
is only physical matter, as seen by the senses. The concept of a force acting on the time/space continuum, a force that cannot be seen or detected except by its effects, is considered “non-scientific.” Yet physics has established that this is how the world actually is. It does not exist as an objective physical world as we usually think of it.
“Some physicists would prefer to come back to the idea of an objective real world whose smallest parts exist objectively in the same sense as stones or trees exist independently of whether we observe them. That, however, is impossible.” — Werner Heisenberg7
Therefore, physics has come to the very same conclusion as Hahnemann, that there is a dimension from which the physical world is derived. This expression into matter is a movement of an influence, an energy, that cannot be seen with the senses, that will never be made visible to us. Hahnemann said the same thing, that what he referred to as the “life force” or “vital force” can never be seen, only its effects observed.
Hahnemann goes on to describe disease in non-physical terms.
§148 A natural disease is never to be regarded as some noxious matter situated somewhere inside or outside the person. Rather, natural disease is engendered by a spirit-like
inimical potence that disturbs, as if by a kind of contagion, the spirit-like life principle that reigns, with its instinctual governance, in the entire organism. Like an evil spirit, it torments the life principle, forcing it to engender certain sufferings and disorders in the course of its life. These are known as symptoms or diseases.8
Which view then is more in alignment with scientific findings? That there is physical matter, which is the basic foundational matrix of our universe, and that all physical events are the interactions of only this tangible physical substance? Or is it more correct to say the physical world is a dynamic expression of a dimension outside of time and space, the physical aspect being secondary?
Hahnemann says that the medicinal effect is using the influence that is responsible for that mineral, plant or animal to be present in our world. By preparing it as he describes...
§128 Both the recent and the most recent experiences have taught that, in provings done with medicinal substances in their raw state, the substances do not manifest nearly the full wealth of their hidden powers as they do in provings using substances in potentized form (i.e., highly attenuated through proper trituration and succussion). By means of this simple processing, the powers that lie hidden and, as it were, dormant in the medicinal substance’s raw state are developed and awakened into activity to an incredible degree.
The Same Challenge to We Homeopaths
The “common sense” view of reality, one based on the philosophy of materialism, is part of our consciousness, just as it is for everyone. This is the human consciousness we all participate in when we too come into form. Unless directly examined, confronted, it continues its influence, albeit on an unconscious level.
