FIVE DISEASES OF HOMOEOPATHY

1)IGNORANCE : our ignorance of subjects is so big
2)IDOLISATION :idolosing people, making guru's
3)EGOTISM: of colleagues and guru's, like the "I know" ,"I will tell you what to do attitude"
4)DOGMATISM:"this is the ONLY way"not bases on facts but on dogma, on opinion. If you think this method is the only way, it has to be based on facts and not only on opinion.
5)DEVIATION FORM THE INDUCTIVE METHOD.
Importance of observation ND not imagination.
Imagination is there to sometimes help you to do a theory, to further observe. Discovery is made from observation.

AN EXCERPT FROM THE LESSER WRITINGS OF Dr. HAHNEMANN - The medical observer

The capability of observing accurately is never quite an innate faculty; it must be chiefly acquired by practice, by refining and regulating the perceptions of the senses, that is to say, by exercising a sever criticism in regard to the rapid impressions we obtain of external objects,and at the same time the necessary coolness, calmness and firmness of judgement must be preserved, together with a constant distrust of our own powers of apprehension .

The vast importance of our subject should make us direct the energies of our body and mind towards the observation; and great patience, supported by the power of the will, must sustain us in the direction until the completion of the observation.
