Hi Swan, I like the poetic images of the vis and your referral to your term biopsychosocial. It is diffecult to actually capture what a person is, let alone...
I hope everyone had a great holiday season and that this new year is healthy and prosperous to all. I wanted to share an interesting discussion a good friend...
Hi Tom - I would agree that intention is HUGE in medicine (in everything, but that's not the point here). I've one patient - who has breast cancer - who ...
Hello y'all, I've been mulling this over and have some questions. Thanks Bill for the essay, I remember you describing it this way at the Gathering last year...
I like the way you account for all 3 parties in the room, so to speak, the client/healer, the teacher/guide, and the medicinal medium. Intention of the...
William, I think you have provided an excellent point. The problem here is that the Vis Medicatrix Naturae is not mathematics. I think Bill has provided an ...
Hi Jared, Yes I'd say the Vis is not mathematics. Equations are descriptions of relationships, rather than just numbers. E=mC2 for instance does not involve...
Hi William. I'd say that the vis is always operational irregardaless of the values of the vitality of any system. the good news about that is that we can...
Hi Chance, So interesting to hear stories of Intention in action. Bill From: "Chance Diebold, ND" <chance@...> Reply-To: NDPhilosophy@yahoogroups.com...
I've decided to try articulating the crowd of thoughts I have on this topic. Here's a first pass: However we (individually) think of the Vis is an outgrowth of...
We are faced with an interesting problem. We understand our medicine to be a separate and distinct branch of the healing arts, or so we claim. Of singular...
I remember one of my teachers saying, "sometimes, after you've done all you can, the most important thing to do is get out of the way." So many of us are...
HI Greg. Sure liked your thoughts on the Vis. Yep...it's pretty deep. I printed them out so I can study them further. thanks for sharing these ideas...ideas...
I'll break this all into parts to make it easier to read. I am a bit notorious for being verbose, and this will be no exception, I'm sure. My apologies ahead...

Hi GL, Thanks for your "vibs" on the vis. In doing and teaching yoga, the illusion aspect of existance seems to be more accessable. My question is "Where does...
Where does the idea of life as an illusion come from? What about those dreams that are so real, you don't know you are dreaming? What about waking experiences...
How can we claim as a profession that what differentiates US from other practitioners is that WE aknowledge the VIS? There are many healing professions that...
This is a great discussion and one that makes me happy to see. Understanding the vis is essential to our entire practice of medicine and the way that we choose...
Hello glg242, There seems to be some pretty deep feelings brought out by thinking of the vis as a complex system of equations. "Equation" is meant to be...
Hi all, This discussion of the vis is ever interesting to me. I certaintly have a very limited knowledge of the vis, and yet I like to toy with where thinking...
I'm presently reading "Black Elk Speaks", in which Black Elk, a native elder tells his story of the Vis. As he tells it: "I was born in the moon of the popping...
Doesn't a lot of this intermingle with the very foundations of quantum physics? A friend gave me a copy of an audio seminar called "Dr Quantum presents A...
Hi Bill, ... By that, do you mean, How did anyone come up with the notion that the material world is not real, but is just an illusion? My own best guess is...
Well that's just it. Greg, I think you hit on an important concept here. The way I understand things duality is the illusion - maya of the Vedas - the cloak...
Hi Greg, Duality not being a subset of non-duality is worth a ponder. My own invitation to the idea of "emptiness" for example came from Buddhist studies. The...
