Predilection for different modalities

[Ellen Madono]

Hi,

I either "get" a modality or I don't. I get homeopathy. The literature makes sense to me, I can use the tools, and applications of those methods are effective. Homeopaths like Doctor Roz Paul Herscu, Will Taylor, George Dimitriadis or George Vithoulkas suggest meaningful methods that I "get". These are the people I look up to. Even Five element and analysis makes sense and is useful.

Gobbledygook talk about science is not in the least bit helpful to me. Mainly, I don't get it. I am very practical and I'm interested in what leads to better treatment. I'm not offended if I don't get it. I have certain predilections and that's just fine. Other people have their own predilections and I have no problems and I have no problem with individuality.

About astrology, I don't really get it. I know I react strongly to the phases of the moon, and I use an acupuncture method that uses Kepler's calculations of the orbits of the planets. The Mythology of the planets seems to fit universal human themes and they are useful for this methodology. But, I have never been able to tune into the calculations of astrology. I don't get it, but someday I would like to get it. Until then, I certainly am not going to argue about its scientific value relative to homeopathy.

I have a very good imagination. So, I can make tarot card selections meaningful. This "high" imaginative ability also makes me very distrustful of purely intellectual interpretations. As a result, methods of it analysis in homeopathy are very important to me. I don't want choosing a remedy to be like choosing a tarot card. If astrological calculations made the same kind of good logical sense that homeopathy makes, I would be much more impressed. My guess is that I have just never met the right teacher in astrology. This problem has nothing to do with the science that the pharmaceutical companies use. Each system has its own logic. You have to "get" that logic, or you can even talk about it.

That said, for a group devoted to homeopathy, it would make much more sense to me to be discussing the relative values of different analytical methods in homeopathy. I have no idea why we don't focus on homeopathy. I guess I'm just odd.
