2. My background…
I’m not: a physicist, chemist,
biologist, doctor… But I am:
• A homeopath
(www.impossiblecure.com)
• A computer scientist /
mathematician… with expertise in
logical modeling (e.g., for artificial
intelligence applications)
• I’ve been interested in
consciousness-related subjects
since long before my Homeopathy
days…

The Noetic Journal, Volume 2, Number 1 (January 2000).

4. Let’s sort out what we know…
(also see: Chapter 7: Impossible Cure)
• Clinical studies show that Homeopathy is not
working because of the placebo effect [see meta-
analyses -- e.g., Linde,et al, “Are the Clinical Effects of
Homoeopathy Placebo Effects? A Meta-Analysis of Placebo-Controlled
Trials,” The Lancet, Volume 250, pp. 834–843 (September 20, 1997).]
• Well-done clinical studies (including some
replicated studies) show that Homeopathy works,
beyond placebo effect, in humans and animals. [e.g.,
Jacobs, et al., “Treatment of Acute Childhood Diarrhea with Homeopathic
Medicine: A Randomized Clinical Trial in Nicaragua,” Pediatrics, Volume 93,
Number 5, pp. 719–725 (May 1994)]

5. What you have already learned in this series…
There is something in those remedies!
Medicinal properties are carried within homeopathic
remedies (even beyond “Avogadro’s number”
levels of dilution) due to the structural properties
of water and other substances. Chemical
molecules are not necessary because structure can
carry information too.
Physical chemistry studies have now shown that
unique signatures can be found for different
remedies and even different potencies of the same
remedy. [E.g., Rao, et al, The defining role of structure (including
epitaxy) in the plausibility of homeopathy, Homeopathy (2007) 96,
pp.175-182 (2007)]

6. What you have also learned in this series…
Scientific studies have shown how the information
embedded in remedies spreads throughout the body (and
vital force) -- and quickly too
The medicinal properties of remedies are quickly
carried throughout the body water (80% of blood,
60% of body) likely due to the electromagnetic
transmission of information. In fact, allopathic
medicines probably work this way too. The
signatures of potentized substances can even be
sent electronically and transmitted into water and
still work in laboratory settings.
[E.g., Benveniste, et al, Transatlantic Transfer of Digitized Antigen Signal
by Telephone Link, J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 99:S175, 1997.]

7. So we know remedies work,
and we know how their information may be encoded and
how this information gets to its target…
But why the Law of Similars? How does THAT work?
What do Homeopaths say about this?
Theory 1. Action/Counteraction (Hahnemann)
We know this is general mode of operation of the physical body for
maintaining homeostasis.
So, if a remedy somehow produces an action on the physical plane, the
body will produce a counteraction on the physical plane.
We do see this manifested in homeopathic treatment -- e.g.,aggravations.
But it is not the whole story, since we don’t always see physical action,
just the counteraction. Something is going on beyond the physical
body as well. Perhaps Action/Counteraction occurs in the vital force as
well? Or…

8. What’s going on beneath the surface?
Theory 2. The remedy is a counterfeit
disease and “replaces” the disease
state in the vital force.
(Hahnemann)
This may be getting closer to the truth.
Hypothesis:
Vital Force = Qi = Etheric plane
Baron Karl von Reichenbach (mid
1800s) - Odic Field:
Like pole attract
(instead of opposite poles).
So, do similar diseases attract and
cancel each other? Or operate more
conventionally and repel each other?

9. Hahnemann was pretty clever… because he intuited
Chaos and complexity theory (Bellavite and Signorini)
The body is a complex system.
Although chaotic, stable patterns can occur due to attractors.
Such systems can also be extremely sensitive to very small signals
e.g., “The Butterfly Effect” --
especially if the signal is extremely precise.
“… the quality of information is far more important than the quantity…. The
nearer one is to the bifurcation point, and the greater the freedom of choice, the
lower will be the energy needed to shift the system in one direction or another”
Disease = pathological attractor
Remedy = high quality attractor that gets the body unstuck
because of its similarity to the disease-producing pathological
attractor.

10. But there is probably even more going on at
deeper levels…
There is evidence that Homeopathy may be working
at quantum levels -- because it exhibits some of the
same properties as Psi [e.g. time/space anomalies]
Hypothesis: Qi (etheric level) IS NOT Psi
(Because Qi can be blocked by some materials…
but Psi cannot).
Therefore, homeopathy (and Psi) is probably working
at even a deeper level than Qi=etheric level

11. Quantum Levels and beyond -- the spooky stuff
Transcend space and time:
- distance is irrelevant: non-local effects, no
material contact required, how far makes no
difference -- same effect.
- time is irrelevant: precognition, actions can
even affect the past.

12. We do see these properties in homeopathy…
even if we don’t like to admit it!
• Paper remedies (no material required)
• Proving phenomena (manifesting symptoms
immediately upon intention to participate) -- may be
retroactive causation?
But all of this may even be true for allopathy too (no
surprise!) -- e.g, the placebo effect, doctors beliefs
about their medicine makes a difference too….
The quantum is leaking over into the macro level
(McTaggart, The Intention Experiment), especially
in medicine, because we humans are connected to
the ZPF too -- via our higher bodies.

13. Similarity in vibration is very important at the
quantum level…
• Things that are most similar have the most intense
connection in the ZPF (Laszlo, Science and the Akashic
Field)
• Within the proposed Morphic Field communication is also
probably accomplished via similarity of vibration -- e.g.,
between members of the same species. (Sheldrake,
Presence of the Past)
• Synchronicity (rather than causality) is likely a key
mechanism of the ZPF. Can be viewed as the meeting or
attraction of like patterns of meaning. (Jung, Whitmont)

14. Obviously, similarity is what homeopathy is all about too.
• We manifest the pattern of meaning that represents
our state -- as does our simillimum.
• The key contribution of homeopathy:
Bringing together like patterns has a meaningful
effect.
The Law of Similars may be a fundamental
property of the ZPF.

15. Whitmont saw the same phenomenon in psychiatry as in
homeopathy…the replacement of like patterns.
“..with mental and physical symptoms
synchronistically, not causally, related, one may
substitute for another and appear to be able to
cancel it. Thus we get a first glimpse of an
understanding how illness and ‘similar’ drug
energy, as synchronistic entities of the same ‘field’
sharing a functional likeness, may perhaps
substitute for another and thereby functionally
cancel each other.” (Whitmont, Psyche and
Substance)

16. Towards a higher dimensional model of quantum reality
In the mid 1990s I developed a model of consciousness that
uses higher spatial dimensions (4D+) that can transcend
3-D space/time. This model can be used to explain psi
phenomena including: precognition, retro-causation, inner
viewing, remote viewing, distance healing,
psychokinesis, and even teleportation, visiting alternate
realities, etc.
Over the years I have also explored: Qi Gong, Barbara
Brennan and other hands-on healing systems like Reiki,
Gurdjieff, Steiner, EFT, homeopathy, etc.
Serendipitously, my husband did some software
development for Dean Radin on precognition
experiments.

17. Hypothesis: Humans have access (perhaps via the higher
astral, mental, and causal bodies) to at least 4-D space.
The 4th spatial dimension was a big topic of interest in the
late 1800s. Its existence could easily explain paranormal
phenomena. To understand higher dimensions (hard!),
read: Rucker: The Fourth Dimension.
Higher spatial dimensions (up to 10) are used mathematically
in physics to come up with a unified field theory (Michio
Kaku).
Bohm: the implicate order (4-D?) manifests itself by
unfolding in our (3-D) explicate order… Things wink in
and wink out at quantum levels…
We humans may be able to actively affect how our lives
unfold into 3-D space/time as well…

18. Flatland… Our 3-D view of a 2-D world --
the life of a 2D object is a 3-D shape

19. A 4-D view of our 3-D world --
the life of a 3-D object is a 4-D shape

20. At each moment -- the NOW -- you are at the gateway to
many possible futures in 4-D space. Which will it be?
• The human-machine will follow the most probable,
predictable course. The body will continue to regenerate
in the same way. The “laws of the universe” (which may
also be mutable -- see Laszlo, Sheldrake), will be followed.
• Human-higher-consciousness can affect things so that less
probable paths are followed. For example, a path in which
healing occurs.
• Human-higher-consciousness may also be able to
“foresee” which path will lead to a desired goal.
• Our sense of affecting or “choosing” our path is our sense
of Free Will.

21. NOW

22. The Secret / Abraham-Hicks / etc.
Reframe your current state in the NOW to be
as similar as possible to your goal state.
Resonance with this goal state will lead
you to it.

24. 99%
1%
disease

25. Law of Similars
If a person is in a state of disease and is given a
substance that mimics this state, that person will
be thrown out of the state of disease.
PERSON&D + D -----------------> PERSON
Why/how does this happen?

26. Hypotheses…
• Action/Counteraction. By echoing the
disease state back, it increases the chance of
moving away from it.
• Similar Vibration. By confronting disease
energy with similar energy, the chance that
it will be neutralized/replaced increases.
• Information. By informing the body about
what’s going on, its attachment to the
disease is loosened and it is reminded of its
true original self -- its non-diseased state.

27. A similar phenomenon --
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
See: www.emofree.com
While tapping on acupressure points:
“Even though <I have D>, I deeply and
completely love and accept myself”
ME&D + <I have D> + <I Love ME>
-----------------> ME

28. 99%

Retrocausation?
Even though I love
disease
EFT:

29. Hypotheses…
Adding the remedy disease (or performing EFT)
increases the chances of throwing off the disease
in the next state because of --
a) Energetically repelling it in the current state
b) Retroactively detaching it from a past state by
recognizing its presence as a separate entity
c) Pulling you toward the goal healthy state by
“remembering” and resonating with it

30. What’s next?
I am currently writing a new book that presents
these ideas and more…including meditative
techniques.
The seed for this book was written in 1996:
