“News” stories about Paracelsus are few and far between, but this one came up on my newsfeed today. It’s from the Fortean Times. The following excerpt, I think, states one of the flaws in modern science:
He may have been a good physician, but his philosophy makes it impossible for Paracelsus to be accepted as a scientist in the modern sense. A seer and mystic, he believed that all knowledge was accessible because all objects in the Universe were represented within the human mind. Everything in the macrocosm that surrounds us is mirrored in the microcosm of the mind, so by searching in the mind all secrets of the Universe can be discovered.
The people on this planet spend too much time and energy seeking outwardly for what lies within.

I love that quote…reminds me of: There’s no place like home…
ahhhhhh…thank you.
pssssst…the cabbage leaves work really well in conjunction with the sage tea (dried sage brewed with my earl gray mixture). There was very little inflamation and pain, and what there was, the cabbage leaves took care of it.
I never knew he expounded this philosphy, but I agree. I have been coming to this conclusion for a long time.
