Text: THE SECRET ORIGINS OF HOMEOPATHY Posted By: M-Theory Date: Friday, 30 January 2004, 7:10 p.m. In December 1666, John Frederick Helvetius, alchemist to the Prince of Orange at The Hague, was visited by a mysterious and "adept" stranger. Helvetius referred to this stranger as The Artist Elias, who gave him a piece of the "Philosophers' Stone" with which he would be able to turn lead into gold. Helvetius complained that it was too small, about the size of a coriander seed. The stranger took back the "sulphur coloured" material and split it in half, handing the smaller piece to Helvetius. "Even now," said the stranger, "it is more than enough." This was a turning point in Helvetius' life, which he claimed led him to complete spiritual enlightenment, and he was careful to note down the exact dates and times his "Elias" visited, for their astrological importance. "The operation of alchemy, like true Will," he wrote, "involves the whole cosmos, and that for true magic to work, the Heavens and Earth must be in accord." The lesson Helvetius had learned from the Adept is known as the Secret Magistry, and its teachers were known as Masters (The modern University Masters Degree was originally a degree of initiation). The original latin name for Master was not Magister, but Magester, and was linked with Mage or magician. The official history of Homeopathic Medicine attributes its invention to the 18th Century Chemist Samuel Hahnemann, who like Helveticus, had a Master, and followed Astrological guides within his life. The official theory of Homeopathy is that conditions can be treated with substances which in high doses would lead to the same symptoms or even pathology, but which in highly dilute quantities would actually effect a cure. Far from inventing Homeopathy, however, Hahnemann was only the messenger. The astrological signs had dictated to his Masters that the time was right to reveal this once ancient and arcane secret. Hahnemann, a member of the Masonic Lodge of Minerva of the Three Palms at Leipzig, was able to wrap up this secret in language that would disguise its true meanings from the emerging "natural science" of his age. The secret or "magisterium", was that all parts of the body were linked to astronomical bodies, and that all the substances used in Homeopathy were also linked in such a manner. This relationship is outlined in the Doctrine of Signatures, which maintains that everything has its own planetery or zodiacal rulership. The perfect dose for the "magisterium" was recorded by the 11th century Arab physician Avicenna as one part in a thousand (the dilution process referred to as Trituration), although greater dilutions increased the potency of the magisterium. But the word "potency" itself has arcane meanings within the mysteries - potency = a relationship between the spiritual realm and the material world, with the spiritual coming under the astrological control of seven planets. (An inverse relationship between quantity and spiritual content). For example, Monkshood a poisonous plant linked to Saturn, could be used after trituration to cure Saturnian malignancies. Mugwort bore the signature of the moon and could be used to cure Lunar maladies of the mind. The classical name for Mugwort is Artemesia, also the name of the Greek Moon goddess who seduced the sleeping Endymion and kept him in the dreamlike condition of "the sleepers" from which all adepts must free themselves. Homeopathic doses of Artemesia could cure the "sleeper" condition, and restore the ability for astral projection. Diseases of the human blood, which is ruled by the Sun, are cured by substances under the command of the Sun. The Knights of St John of Jerusalem during the crusades treated wounds with dilute preparations of the sun ruled plant Hypericum perforatum. The Homeopathic system dictates that treatment must be Holistic, (treating the whole person), but what this disguises is the idea that Holistic is a spiritual rather than medical system of diagnosis and treatment. With the British Royal Family strongly advocating Homeopathic medicine in the late 1980s, this system became fashionable and even accepted by elements of the medical profession. M-Theory
