Wake up my philosophy friends/colleagues. I hope to spurn an avid
discussion in this forum. So, I will pose some spicy questions. I'm
going to state at the very beginning of this that NOT A SINGLE WORD
OF THIS IS SAID WITH MALICE OR INTENT OF ATTACKING OR HURTING (I know
that affect is hard to read through e-mail)...I really DO want to
start a really nice heated debate, though :). And like everyone
here, I don't claim to have any answers or claim that my opinions are
right...We are all searching, right?

Hahnemann said that, "The high and only mission of a physician is to
restore the sick to health, to CURE, as it is termed". Now, I love
homeopathy...and I love our medicine...but, let us step back for a
moment and examine this statement.

Do I really believe that I have the power to cure... am I really so
pompous as to believe that I can CURE a patient and this is my high
and only mission?

If I examine the the Vital Force and the Vis (should that be a whole
new discussion or should I delve into it abit now?), how would this
apply?

Okay, so I won't wait for another discussion...I'll throw it out now.
How often do we hear people state that they are stimulating the vital
force...or learning the vis? I have a hard time with statements like
these that are thrown around without so much as a thought (yes, I am
intentionally using harsh language to get everyone's juices
running :)). Do I really believe that I can stimulate the vital
force? Or do we just clumsily move around and try to tweak whatever
we can in the physical realm, while the vital force channels that
amazing Vis? And back to that statement "learning the vis"...um, did
I miss that class in school? The class where we were able to
transcend all of our humanness and physical ties to this existence
and actually learn about the intricacies of something that has no
boundaries and follows no rules.

Okay, I'm done ranting...
