designer diseases Digest Number 375

[Cl.Mennel]

Dear Co-Minutusists, especially dear Joy, Charlotte, Tanya and Sheila,

just to get the perpesctive right.

When I was a child, whenever I was naughty my father laid down on the
couch saying that his heart was aching and that he would surely get a
heart attack sooner or later. My mother, she was fussing around running
from the kitchen to the loo and from the loo to the kitchen crying that
she had got stomachache, next to cancer, which would have been my fault.
Well of course after some time I couldn't take those "illnesses" serious
- but well, that's life, people do what they got to do, anyway. And if
they feel better with it, why should we judge them, everyone got the
right to make mistakes, to live in delusion, to be decveived - that's
our material world, so what? It's sad, but all we can do is to try to
make them see more clearly.

All we can do is to stick to the truth, without arguing, because the
truth is't of any help when told if people don't want to hear it.
Another value to regard is patience, just to do what you are convinced
is right and wait, wait and wait.
Water is stronger than stone and rock.

Someone wrote: >>So, are what people saying is that we cannot use
homeopathy to relieve
people of their guilt, despair, sense of loneliness? Or is it that we
need
to hone our skills more?<<

Indeed homoeopathy can help to deal with one's loneliness, can set
perspectives right as far as guilt etc. is concerned, of course despair
can be alleviated, no question about that. There are numerous cases, but
it takes time, sometimes more than a lifetime.

It not always us. God is the healer, all we can do is cure. Or as the
Romans put it a bit more prosaic: "Medicus curat, natura sanat."
It's not us alone, not the patient alone, there is God, nature,
life-force and karma, fate, fortune, kismet or however you prefer to
call it.
To overestimate one's own role is some kind of egocentrics or egotism.

Homoeopathy is a way of humbleness ("Demut" as we say in German) and
service. Just to do best, but realize that it's the metatphysics beyond
us, the Cosmic Consciousness that has the greater say. Thus there might
be uncurable diseases, but we shouldn't stop trying, helping, listening,
curing, one should never give up a patient, even if one has to refer
him/her to another practitioner.

The unbiased view of the unprejudiced observer can be attained best
through humbleness and service.

By the way another difference between a homoeopath and an allopath is
that the allopath fears death, fights it with all his means, it his
enemy, whereas the homoeopath accepts death as a fact of life. What
would be our earthly lives without death? Just imagine!!!

Thus my advice is try best, as you have done already, and your trying is
the best help. The rest will be looked after by some greater
transcendental power.

All the best
Claudia
