organizing for survival

[Tanya Marquette]

I just finished listening to a lecture/discussion by Dr. Manish Bhatia
who operates Hpathy.com website. His focus was on how the
homeopathic community needs to get its act together in an organized
way. It was a pleasure to participate in this discussion which was
broad based and inclusive in trying to address the needs that we
have to get out message out. He expressed the view that homeopaths
lack the confidence to organize and fight back. And he noted that when
an attack is made in one country or on one individual, the rest of the
homeopathic world does not jump in with support.

The in-fighting that occurs here from time to time, for me, is the
reflection of the lack of empowerment that we feel in our 'divided-we-
fall' stance. I don't think it good enough to be intellectually correct
whem we are tearing at each others very human throats. This not
only destroys the possibility of building community, it weakens us
so our destruction will be ensured.

Keeping the bigger picture in mind
