| The
scientific mind of man has created categories in order to classify
nature. These categories are called kingdoms. There are three main
categories: the mineral kingdom, the plant kingdom and the animal
kingdom. Since homeopathic remedies come from sources of nature, this
classification fits our remedies as well. The three categories carry
qualities that are based on the natural order of kingdoms. Our remedies
carry the resemblance to their crude sources, so our categories are also
based on, but not bound only to, the qualities of substance. Humanity
perceives life in material terms, whereas we know that all around and
within us is energy. Our perception is what creates substance, thereby
enabling us to see, feel, touch or smell these substances. Even though
we are not always aware of the basic nature of these substances, the
energy is nevertheless there. In homeopathy we deal with these energies.
We use the language of our material world as tools to describe what we
feel and what we heal, but it is not on this level that healing actually
takes place.
