 Homeopath Misha(Hpathy  Oct 2009)
Misha Norland is one of the founding fathers of the resurgence in homeopathy in England. He has written two books in which he gathers together and fuses ancient wisdom with contemporary ideas. These ideas, some of which he himself has helped to develop, are currently enhancing the success of classical homeopathy. Misha, drawing on 35 years in practice and 30 years as a teacher, shows how we are able to view symptoms not as isolated phenomena, but as interrelated segments of a developing pathological process. Misha’s thinking show the reader how we can see into the very heart of an individual’s pathology, guiding us to understanding what is to be cured and finding the homeopathic simillimum.

Linking the dynamic disturbance in a patient to the remedy source, or signature, is at the core of these works because the uncompensated, primitive state of the disease can be matched up with the signature of the remedy. The signature provides us with the surest way, the most direct route to finding the simillimum.
 
In the beginning, when the disease entered the patient and made a take-over bid for control of the vital force, attempting as it were, to impress the host organism with its will, then the host submitted more or less passively to the disease. This is represented by the primary, acute response, which, should the disease be congenital, is experienced by the mother and may result in miscarriage, or at a less drastic level of response, distorted functional changes such as unusual cravings or aversions. If the patient survives, then secondary action, unaided by remedies, should vanquish the disease. However, because of innate susceptibility, due to miasmatic and congenital factors, this exteriorisation does not occur often enough (indeed is usually suppressed by drugs and inoculations) and so the slate is not cleared. Then, the disease remains within. Now, both it and the patient struggle to be in control. The disease state may be viewed quite literally, as a spirit possession. The dialogue between the two entities express as symptoms. Of these symptoms the most idiosyncratic (SRP) are our surest guide to a curative remedy. As we know, this was pointed out by Hahnemann in paragraph 153. However, this symptom, to be fully fledged, should be an expression which originates from the unconscious, and is therefore an automatic, pre-verbal response of mind and body at 4 levels i.e. Level 1, vital energy; 2, image; 3, unconscious gesture; 4, sensation in the body. When at least two of these levels match up and are expressive of the same state, then we may be pretty sure that we are witnessing the SPR disease entity. This entity is best known by its signature, because this is what it is before the complexities of secondary functioning (active and passive) and compensation set in.
 
It may be envisioned that the distortion, which as homeopaths we recognize as the simillimum, is that which activates incarnation. This is because, in perfect health, the being is there, aware and responsive to its surroundings; however, that awareness is not attached to a past while it is in the present. It is not that the awareness does not have a past, for obviously it does, memories are there, and however they do not present themselves as an imperative requiring action. Action, if such a response is required, arises spontaneously, without reference to past trauma or happiness. As a corollary, we note that this awareness does not project itself upon a future: it is free of miasmatic constraints, free of anxiety, desire or aversion. Because this awareness does not project itself upon a future, it creates no future, in other words, it does not require an incarnation. Tibetan Lamas explain that their Rinpoches consciously choose reincarnation as an act of compassion.
 
This vision of health and the genesis of disease may be of value to a homeopath because it helps to unscramble the frequently voiced dilemma of whether we should treat constitutional symptoms or disease symptoms. This vision leads us upon the route of treating them as a conjoined pair because, in health, the person and the awareness exist together in the present, while the disease is that which deviates that awareness. So, disease is indeed similar to a spirit possession by the spiritual potency of the simillimum, which once eliminated leaves the awareness free to fulfil the higher purposes of its existence without being divided between pleasure and pain, desire and aversion or loves and hates, as Kent put it.
 
With regard to the higher purposes of existence, Hahnemann makes no specific commentary. Perhaps in his day and culture, this was not necessary, because seeking God was considered the norm. Without this spiritual quest, only the gross material realm remains in a person’s awareness – an impoverishment of the soul. When there is no conflict spontaneous action arises AND it is beyond the dipoles of pleasure and pain, desire and aversion. It is, as we might say, beyond the miasms. But that is the topic of my book, ‘Signatures, Miasms, AIDS.’ Suffice it to say, that ‘beyond miasms’ implies freedom which steers an individual along paths of wise, truthful action leading to manifestations of beauty and compassion through grace. This arises because freedom operates as does light vanquishing darkness. Open a door to sunshine and shadows naturally dissolve. This is the state of being in grace – our spiritual birthright – true health.
