TheDynamic Thinkers
Hahnemann prescribed the reading of theOrganon to his patients. It is not just the words written by genialminds but the configuration of the thought content itself thatbegins to work on the mind of the reader to bring about subtletransformations. Such is the case with all works of Genius.
The Basic Foundation
- The Logos - Inspired Scripture - "In the beginning was the Word"
- Sir Francis Bacon 1st Baron Verulam and Viscount Saint Albans (1561-1626), English philosopher and statesman, one of the pioneers of modern scientific thought. Bacon's Novum Organum successfully influenced the acceptance of accurate observation and experimentation in science. In it he maintained that all prejudices and preconceived attitudes, which he called idols, must be abandoned, whether they be the common property of the race due to common modes of thought ("idols of the tribe"), or the peculiar possession of the individual ("idols of the cave"); whether they arise from too great a dependence on language ("idols of the marketplace"), or from tradition ("idols of the theater"). The principles laid down in the Novum Organum had an important influence on the subsequent development of empiricist thought.
The Differentiation
- The Morphology
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), German poet, dramatist, novelist, and scientist. According to the 19th-century English critic Matthew Arnold, Goethe must be considered not only "the manifest center of German literature" but one of the most versatile figures in all world literature. As a phenomenologist he demonstrates the living embodiment of his statement - "the factual is already theory"
- The Methodology
- S. T. Coleridge (1772-1834), English poet, critic, and philosopher, who was a leader of the romantic movement.
- The Nosology
- Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) - German physician and founder of Heilkunst.

- The Physiology
- Richard Saumarez {1764-1835} - A surgeon and honorary governor of Magdalen Hospital, London. The theme of his book,New System of Physiology (2 vols 1798; 2nd ed 1799; 3rd ed 1813) can be briefly stated: Life is greater than the sum of its parts. It is rendered possible by something that goes beyond mere chemical and mechanical laws, and when this vital "power" is lacking, "living matter" decomposes, separates, and putrefies. A radically different dynamic orientation occurs when one reads Hahnemann through Saumarez's work.
- For a taste of this work read Saumarez's Comments on the Brunonian System and on the Living Principle and Power , concepts that were present not only in the mind of Hahnemann but in other dynamic thinkers of the day.
The Developing Awarenessof the Dynamic Realm
- John Hunter (1728-1793) English surgeon, founder of pathological anatomy in England, and early advocate of investigation and experimentation. He also carried out many important studies and experiments in comparative aspects of biology, anatomy, physiology, and pathology.
- Antoine Bechamp (1816-1908) French biologist whose work stands in counterpose to the work of his contemporary, Pasteur who defended monomorphism: one germ gives one illness, eliminate the germ and the illness disappears. Bechamp on the other hand developed the theory of polymorphism; he identified extremely small corpuscles known as microzymes which are always present but are tranformed into a pathogenic state when the system becomes imbalanced. Pasteur, the materialist became famous with his theory and Bechamp, the dynamist fell into obsurity.
- Dr. Abrams (1863-1924) and Ruth Drown (1892-1963) When Hahnemann wrote in the Organon, " §286.2. But the sure manner of employing... the so-called electro-magnetic machine, still lies way too much in the dark in order to make homeopathic use of them, " his genial insight was providing room for the development of radionics which works by the principle that all matter radiates. Dr. Abrams began developing instruments that could both diagnose and treat conditions. Ruth Drown continued to perfect the technology so that the diagnosis and treatment could be done "even at a distance" [§288]. The sensitive human operator is the indispensable factor.
- Leon Ernest Eeman (1889 - 1958) An Englishman who discovered that by connecting the polarities of the body with copper wires he could balance the body energetically and heal many diseases.
The Spiritual Side
- Phineas Parkhurst Quimby (1802-66), American mental healer who is generally regarded as the founder of the New Thought movement. Originally a student of mesmerism and practitioner of hypnosis, Quimby subsequently claimed that he could heal by mere suggestion. Quimby believed that illness originated in the mind and was a consequence of erroneous beliefs. He taught that the receptive mind, open to God's wisdom, could conquer any sickness. One of his patients and, for a time, a disciple was Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science. Quimby became a controversial figure when Eddy rejected his healing method on the grounds that healing came through the power of God, not the human mind. His lectures are a direct continuation of the mesmeric tradition, transforming the notion of "universal fluid" into an imaginative conception of fluids without becoming hypnotism. Living fluids can be directed by the mesmerist for purposes of overcoming the disturbances based on its disequilibrium. He would sit with a patient and without speaking to them, feel their state and see the belief that was holding them in that state. He would then "mentally" convey the message that would release them from their erroneous belief.
- Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), Austrian philosopher and scientist, who founded a spiritual movement he named anthroposophy. His book Knowledge of the Higher Worlds focused on the development of the organs of higher knowledge. In his later years he turned his spiritual insight towards the subject of health and disease in a series of medical lectures.
Physician's Association for Anthroposophical Medicine
The Sexual Side
- Friedrich Anton Mesmer (1734-1815) An Austrian physician who worked with a vital, moving "universal fluid," present everywhere, allowing no vacuum, capable of penetrating bodies. It was the basic, primordial "ocean of fluid" which directed and controlled all natural processes and was responsible for the progress and outcome of all diseases. It could be activated by any magnetized object and manipulated by any trained person. Disease was the result of "obstacles" in the fluid's flow through the body, and these obstacles could be broken by "crises" (trance states often ending in delirium or convulsions - through the processes of "perturbation," "coction," "evacuation") in order to restore the harmony of organismic fluid flow.
- Alice Bunker Stockham (1833-1912) She was among the first five women in America to receive a Medical Degree. She published several works at the culmination of the Victorian era. "Tokology" urged 'natural childbirth.' In "Karezza", we find an exposition of a tantric technique (from the Italian for "caress") to revolutionize the use of the generative power. As I read her books I felt I was reading a complement to Wilhelm Reich, but in an American New Thought setting.
- Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957), An Austrian Physician, as a student of Freud he continued the development of the theory of the sexual etiology of disease. This led him to the factual and verifiable discovery of Orgone energy (biophysical and cosmic energy). His research revealed that life abides by the orgonotic formula of "tension, charge, discharge, relaxation." Dysfunction is brought about through the blockage or cessation of this flow in the form of "armor" (energy stricture) or "anorgonia" (energy diffusion) which ultimately leads to cancer. Regimenal Orgone therapy is the quantitative re-distribution of impounded orgone energy through conversion, accumulation and stimulation by which the orgone energy is restored to free circulation in accordance with the orgonotic criterion of health - "full orgastic potency."
Cancer Cures from the DynamicRealm
- Wilhelm Reich - In his book "The Cancer Biopathy" - he demonstrates the direct connection between sexual dysfunction and cancer - the presence of which can be detected before its physical manifestation through the Reich blood test.
- Max Gerson (1881-1959) A German physician who developed a diet and therapeutic regimen that was able to successfully cure cancer.
- Royal Raymond Rife (1888-1971) An American that developed a light microscope that could visualize the live pleomorphic organism and determine the precise electrical frequency necessary to sucessfully destroy them.
This listis in no way complete and will continue to grow and evolve asthe consciousness that is recording it progresses and time allows.
Sincerely - Anna Quinn, Webwife.
