Hi Charlotte,
Yeah, I participated in one proving- a good experience for me..
There will always be quite a few viewpoints on "the state" of a particular
remedy, for the simple reason that NO INDIVIDUAL will perceive nor express
"the state" exactly as another.. though we do need to attempt to know each
remedy as part of "the living materia medica" (as I've heard it
expressed) -I find that for myself, I don't really feel that I have a good
feel for a remedy until I research it for a case (& better yet, where it is
actually the one used in a case.)
Many MM's exist; reading a number of them will help us to understand the
idealistic "state" - "of the remedy" (itself) - and will reveal
"Strange/Rare/Peculiar" (SRP) or "Strange/Exceptional/Unusual/Odd" (SEUO)
symptoms ... as discussed in Organon, Aph 153:
"In the search for a homoeopathically specific remedy, that is, in the
comparison of the complex of the natural disease's signs with the symptoms
sets of the available medicines (in order to find among them an artificial
disease potence that corresponds in similarity to the malady to be cure)
the more STRIKING, EXCEPTIONAL, UNUSUAL, AND ODD (Characteristic) signs and
symptoms of the disease case are to especially and almost solely kept in
view. THESE ABOVE ALL, MUST CORRESPOND TO VERY SIMILAR ONES IN THE
SYMPTOMS SET OF THE MEDICINES SOUGHT if it is to be the most fitting one
for cure. The more common and indeterminate symptoms (lack of appetite,
headache, lassitude, restless sleep, discomfort, etc.) are the be seen with
almost every disease and medicine and thus deserve little attention unless
they are more closely characterized."
