Information from the cover or publisher

"The mind is an epiphenomenon of the body, and the body is an epiphenomenon of the mind. We operate as body-minds. The body is the visibility of the soul, and the soul is the life of the body. You cannot deal with everything by sheer will power or mental approaches. We are embodied in a physical cosmos, and we have our bill to pay to physical existence. And that includes our relationship to the physical aspect of the earth; it means to plants, stones, and animals." -Edward C. Whitmont On Psyche & Substance: "Drawing upon the works of Paracelsus, Goethe, Planck, and Jung, these essays by Edward Whitmont spanning the past 25 years indicate a profound grasp of the issues fundamental to the current transitional period of modern medicine. Through the essays is an emphasis upon the dynamic interplay between allopathy and homeopathy, psyche and soma, inner and outer ecology which are resolved in the wisdom of the eternal tao. Above all else, Whitmont's life-affirming philosophy places these archetypal patterns in a historic context extending from medieval alchemists to molecular biologists and restores a sense of balance to the dynamic which is life itself." -Kenneth R. Pelletier, Ph.D., Associate Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute, University of California, San Francisco. "Every page of this book questions our basic assumptions as to the nature of mind and matter, and challenges us to take a fresh look at old, familiar concepts. No serious student of homeopathy can afford to neglect thoughtful study of these writings." -Maesimund Panos, M.D., former President, National Center for Homeopathy. "As in his remarkable work The Symbolic Quest, Dr. Whitmont demonstrates his ability to penetrate through what is visible and tangible to grasp underlying truths by the symbolic method. This volume will be of value not only to those with a specific interest in homeopathy, but also to readers with a psychological orientation and to those simply interested in the connectedness of mind and nature." -R. James Yandell, M.D., Ph.D., C.G. Jung Institute, San Francisco.

Commentary

A series of essays by a Jungian trained homeopath, about symbolic ways of seeing homeopathic remedies through the archetypal images of the remedy sources. All but two of the essays appeared in the Homeopathic Recorder between 1948 and 1955. The thinking presented in this book served as the base for one of the leading edge of modern homeopathy. A 2nd edition, of 238 pages, was printed in 1991. This commentary is reprinted from The Heritage of Homoeopathic Literature with permission of the author Julian Winston
