EDITOR’S LETTER
Interc
&t
As a student of philosophy I subscribe to the interconnectedness
of all things. Interconnectedness has been
dubbed the 'perennial philosophy' (coined by
Liebnitz) by Aldous Huxley in his book¹ of the
same name. This idea is certainly at the heart
of the ancient Vedic philosophy.

Philosophy. London:

Shantananda Saraswati.

The observable, 'objective' world has been illustrated by chaos theory2 and quantum physics.3 In addition, modern physics began to
debate the role of the observer and how consciousness factors into everything. So while
the interconnectedness of mind-body-soul is
increasingly accepted, can we apply it to the
realm of medicine and ask whether the healer
is a neutral agent that could be replaced by a
highly sophisticated machine such as the Bioresonance device?
Bioresonance machines can precisely locate
the best acupuncture points, and determine
the best combination of supplements and the
precise dosage, delivery mode and timing. It
gives superb intuition and indicates by the
004 | N AT U R A L M E D I C I N E . C O . Z A
words it uses that it 'cares'. It can detect and
manipulate 'energy fields' and much more.
If we accept the concept of unity, then the
healer is also integrally part of the equation and
should recognise and experience herself as
profoundly part of the healing process with her
patients and allow her authority to play a role.
But this is an inner authority. Let me explain.
Here is a practical example in a simple story:
Once an old lady went to seek help from a
holy man to advise her child to refrain from
eating sweets. The holy man asked the old
lady to come back after a week. When the
lady appeared at the appointed time, the holy
man simply asked the child to give up the
habit of eating sweets, and the boy agreed.
The lady was surprised — if this was the only
advice he had to offer he could very well have
done it the first time. She asked the holy man
for his reason. The holy man said that at that
time he himself was eating sweets. Since then
he had given up eating sweets so that his advice could be fruitful.4
NEWS AND NOTES
This example perhaps seems so superficial,
but there is a deep underlying basis. The holy
man, having solved the problem within himself, had the authority to speak to the boy in
such a way as to solve the problem 'out there'.
The concept of authority extends to the 'inner
world', not just the external sensual world, and
this inner or causal world is unified, without
separation or disconnected parts.
It’s important for the healer to develop a
certain authority within herself — and this
authority is very different to the arrogant
and ego-centered approach of most general
practitioners. Authority should come with the
knowledge of training and experience, and not
the authority of 'I know'. This is the worst sort
of authority for it leads to a closed mind. Real
authority is born of 'being', which is accessed
by the work done on oneself.

causing the skin to be sucked into the cup.
