Meta-Medicine is a scientific system which does not explore or incorporate the more sublime aspects of the human experience. Given the long history of mans recognition of spirit and order within the cosmos this article introduces the reader to some of these old ideas as the spiritual dimension is often an intrinsic part of any healing process.
What is a Biological Law?
A biological law is a rule which has no exceptions hence the word law. The word biological denotes that the rule refers to biological life forms. The discovery of Natural Biological laws governing health are a major breakthrough and a complete departure from the accepted wisdom in scholastic medicine. Meta-physics was kept out of the discovery so as not to confuse the situation.
Metaphysics
Is the branch of philosophy investigating principles of reality transcending those of any particular science, traditionally, cosmology and ontology. It is concerned with explaining the ultimate nature of being and the world.
Spirituality
An inner sense of something greater than oneself. Recognition of a meaning to existence that transcends one's immediate circumstances. There is a distinction to be made between spirituality and religion. Often large groups of people in religion follow something outside of themselves, a guru, messiah etc. One could say that spirituality is devotion to the life process and being attentive.
Conditioning.
The way that our experience shapes our behaviour.
What is generally acknowledged is that peoples conditioning determine how they react to life's situations. Conditioning determines what perspective we take on a life trauma. A woman being left by her husband may see this as a loss, she may devalue herself or be angry. There are a multitude of possible responses.
Stanislav Grof ( 1931 - )
A pioneering psychoanalyst who has made an outstanding contribution to expanding the cartography of the human psyche.
His model was developed from clinical experience. Able to study Freud/Jung and co. contribution he was well positioned to shed invaluable insights on the human psyche.
Life leaves a mark on everyone. He confirmed the importance of the birth trauma on the subsequent development of a human being but also realized that inutero and what he labeled transpersonal (beyond the personal biographic) were all sculpting the character. On the face of it Mother Nature has developed survival programs, pure and simple. I believe there are nuances to the five biological laws discovered by Dr.Hamer.
Meta-physical aspects of the human experience confirmed by clinical experience!
Stanislav Grof found that some patients regressed and relived past lives where they recognized characters in their present life perpetrating despicable acts on themselves in these past lives.
On realizing this, if the patient was able to forgive the act from the heart there would be an immediate improvement in their relationship in the present life. It had been noted that these family members had been squabbling since the beginning. The transformation would be stunning.
The term past life has so many connotations for people that a different term was used. The patient would just see it as a memory vividly depicting something from a time gone by so the term past life is as good as any. People who encounter death are often changed.
The experience opens up areas of spiritual experiences that appear to be an intrinsic part of the human personality and are independent of the individuals cultural and religious background and programming.
Consciousness.
"What is consciousness" is the unsolved mystery of our time. A common misconception is that the brain generates consciousness. It seems more likely that we are the product of consciousness and that it imbues everything. Our biological system allows us to express a certain frequency of consciousness.
Just like our technology allows us to measure different parts of the electro-magnetic spectrum, if one uses certain tools one can re-tune the dial so that one perceives new dimensions. With these new perceptions come new ideas about life. There was a time when we had no awareness of x-rays but that's not to say they don't exist.
The quintessence of Dr.Hamers discovery is that dis-ease is a purposeful response to environmental stimulus. This was not a conscious process by humans. These programs developed before we had mastered language and tools. This intelligence represents just the tip of the iceberg.
Divination (from Latin Divinare "to be inspired by God.")
Divination has been around for millennia and is talked of in many cultures. Most people have heard of the oracle of Delphi. The I Ching is famous.
They are all attempts to gain information from the super consciousness which is everywhere. Advanced monks need no medium as they channel directly. In fact the I Ching was developed by monks to help lay people develop the connection. In the modern day an advanced form of kinesiology called Cyberkinetics allows one to tap into the omniscient being in all of us.
Stanislav Grofs contribution to understanding the cartography of the human psyche is outstanding. When there is unresolved trauma festering in the unconscious these leads to tension and effects behavior. The person is considered highly strung.
These people are more susceptible to expressing pathology as there system cannot tolerate the extra stress that a significant emotional trauma brings.
Conclusion
Dr Hamer had to steer away from meta-physics as it was difficult enough for him to convince the establishment that emotions were important. He didn't need to dilute this down. Science is about measurement. Perception is a tool that we ignore to our own detriment.
