Absolutely! Personally I don't have a problem with remedy information
derived in this manner. I regard it as being as valid as any other source.
However, it does vary in quality (just as conventional provings do) and I
wouldn't rely on it as the sole justification for a prescription.

What I find difficult about Madeline Evans' work (Meditative Provings, 2000,
Rose Press) is that it goes beyond the mere reporting of sensations during
meditative engagement with the proving energy and enters interpretive
territory in a very definite prescriptive and proscriptive manner - the
"this remedy is good for ..." type comment; or "must not be given to anyone
who ..."

I certainly have a problem with comments like "[remedies] should never be
used in descending potency. This creates a confused and confusing state now
but, what is far worse, can also fix the remedy state onto the soul for many
incarnations." (Using the New Remedies). This may well have some validity in
some circumstances - who's to know? - but I cannot swallow the idea that
it's a fundamental law of the universe applicable in all times and in all
circumstances. It doesn't make sense to me either rationally or intuitively.
(Experientially I can't comment, having no conscious knowledge of past
incarnations :-)) ... )

So it's the rather absolutist manner of her work, rather than any problem
with meditationally-derived information per se, that inclines me towards
downgrading its quality index and hence usefulness.

I'm definitely with Peter Quenter on this one. I think people who are "into"
meditative/speculative etc. homeopathy are leaving themselves open to
ridicule and will probably attract it more and more as homeopathy becomes
more mainstreamed. My guess, for right or wrong.

Hi Wendy,
Just because I bought the book doesn't mean I have got round to reading it!!
I found madeleine's lecture interesting but too esoteric for my liking as an
ex science teacher!!
