Hand on the wall..........homeopathic Gold........... Belshazzar [book of Daniel]......Rembrandt

Before we start to explain the words in the title, we need first of all a short explanation of the principles of homepathy.

I will try to keep it simple.

Homeopathic medicines [called: "remedies"] can be made from anything on this earth, from plants,animals [even such creatures like snakes  scorpions and cockroaches ],minerals,from any man made chemical..........,anything found or made on this earth.

Lets give an example of homeopathy made from a plant tincture. 

So what is a tincture from which many homeopathic remedies are made?

A tincture [ often called mother tincture=M.T= T.M ] is a preparation made by steeping plant material in a liquid, a mixture of alcohol and water for up to one or two weeks. The advantages above a tea made from the herb are: easy to use [drops in a glass of water], a long shelf life[years] and a much better extraction of some constituents then the tea. The proportions are in general one part of the herb ( weight) to five parts ( volume) of the liquid, although 1:10 may also be used. The proportion of alcohol in the liquid varies from 25-90 per dependent on the herb used and often 25 per cent alcohol is quite satisfactory.

The difference between a herbal remedy, for example chamomile tincture and homeopathic chamomile is that homeopathic chamomile is made from the chamomile tincture but is diluted many many times stepwise [even up to 100.000 !] and every dilution is shaken many times vigorously.[formerly this was done by pounding the bottle on a book and in our days it is done  mechanically]

So: strong dilution and shaking repeatedly and vigorously.

This high dilution AND the shaking makes that the remedy works as an homeopathic remedy.

So one may start with a dilution of 1;10 of the mother tincture.......... This is called the first decimal [D1 ] dilution and then from this D1  one part is taken and again diluted 1:10,which gives a D2 dilution and so on  [so D3 is 10 times more diluted then D2 and every new dilution is vigorously  shaken.The dilution may go up to hundred thousand times if necessary!!

If the dilution is high enough [ from D24 and higher] on may not find anymore any material/molecule of the original substance in the homeopathic remedy.

Now you may ask: if there is no substance anymore in the homeopathic dilution,how can it work?

Well,nobody knows for sure.

It has been shown that the water structure in which the an homeopathic remedies is prepared changes  by the shaking............like foot steps in the snow when no foot or shoe is anymore visible ,but the 'inprints" of the steps only!

Not every material is of course simple solvable in water and therefore metals like copper,gold etc have to undergo a special procedure to make them fit as a remedy.

How does homeopathy work or better: what is the purpose?

Every natural substance is a possible homeopathic medicine, as long as it can produce symptoms in a healthy person.

So; if a certain plant,mineral,poison etc give certain symptoms when given to a person [being it just given once or sometimes it has to be given for a longer time to cause symptoms] we write these symptoms down and call them homeopathic symptoms.[also called a proving]

Let'give an example: a child eats a piece or more of a berry of belladonna ,one of the most toxic plants.

If he survives this,the may develop the following symptoms:

Dry mouth,extremely thirsty, high fever [skin feels"scalding hot" to the mother who touches the child],flushed face,dilated pupils,violent delirium , hallucinations [hazayot]  [devils ,dogs etc] talking non-sense,laughing,crying,twitches,heavy abdominal pains, craving for sour things[lemon] etc

Now we see a child with some or more of these symptoms:

suddenly ill with high fever,hazayot hallucinations],dilated pupils,hot ,all symptoms coming on very suddenly and very violent etc

In this case we may recognise that the symptoms of this sick child are very similar to the symptoms of a healthy child who was poisoned accidentally by eating belladonna berrie[s] with the only difference that this suddenly sick child was not poisoned by eating any berries but just got a disease[can be any acute disease,even a meningitis] where the symptoms look very much alike with the poisoned child!

By giving belladonna in homeopathic form we may now be able to heal the sick child.

But even  a single symptom may make us think of belladonna, for example a sudden throbbing violent headache,which get worse if one lies flat and better by lying with the head a bit higher [2 cushions]

Therefore on can imagine that homeopathic belladonna is often used for diseases which start very sudden,with high fever and with violent pain[abdominal pain] or symptoms of the nervous system[twitches,convulsions,frightful hallucinations and so on.

This last idea: what makes a symptom better or worse[lying higher with the head,weather,position,food,at sea, in the mountains etc etc] is one of the very important cornerstones of finding the right homeopathic drug and is called in homeopathic language : modality .

An example of a combination of modalities are: better by sleeping on the stomach,better at the seashore,better from damp weather: !n this case we may have to do with the homeopathic remedy: medorrhinum and the modalities helped us finding the right remedy.

Some babies fall asleep only when put down on their stomach [this is potentially dangerous and had found to increase the chance of crib death]

I have seen cases where medorrhinum may help in these cases so that children can fall asleep on their back,even after a single pill of medorrhinum

Another example :coffee taken in excess may give the following symptoms::nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremulousness, muscle twitching,insomnia, headaches, and heart palpitations etc

If a patient who hardly know what coffee  is shows up with these complaints we may have  to think about giving homeopathic coffee.

We have seen that homeopathy can has even hallucinations in the picture.

Lets now go back to the title of this story:
Hand on the wall..........homeopathic Gold........... Belshazzar [book of Daniel]......Rembrandt

File:Rembrandt-Belsazar.jpg 
Rembrandt's depiction of the biblical account of Belshazzar seeing "the writing on the wall"

Now I would like you to to read some of the story of Belshazzar [ especially Daniel:5:5]
The story of the writing on the wall is beautifully painted by Rembrandt
One of the opinions in the Talmud is that the letters were written "vertically".
How did Rembrandt knew[he was not Jewish]?
Probably by an intensive contact with the Jewish friends and the some rabbis of Amsterdam [Rabbi manasseh Ben Israel and Dr. Efraim Bueno]
I read that Rav Kook T"z"l called Rembrandt a Tzaddikwhich brought forth the or ha-ganuz [ the hidden light at the time of creation].................no idea how true this is :   [see for this:  http://wapedia.mobi/en/Abraham_Isaac_Kook]

It is written that Belshazzar drank a lot at his feast,  1000 cups from the [golden ]vessels.
Also is thought that ONLY he saw the hand on the wall butall those present saw  the writing and not the hand..

How astonished was I when I was searching  in an homeopathic book under the rubric of hallucinations for a colleague and saw something I was not specially looking for:       AURUM METALLICUM = Common Gold:  hallucinations : sees dogs, a hand on the wall.

This is the only remedy mentioned for this most UNUSUALphenomena: "sees hand on the wall".

As Belshazzar drank so many cups I wander if -Bore Olam-may have used pure nature[which He created himself] to make Belshazzar see a hand on the wall.

Maybe some gold got "free" from all this pouring of wine [and certainly it should have been "shaken" after 1000 glasses]  and this caused the homeopathic picture of gold in Belshazzar as a hallucination: sees hand on the wall.

Nobody else saw the hand, only he, but those present all saw the writing but this[writing] is not mentioned as a  symptom of homeopathic gold as"writing on the wall", only "hand on the wall" is descibed.

I find this absolutely fascinating, maybe you are able to see the beauty in this as well.

And maybe we may see also mida ke-neged mida in this: sinned with the golden vessels.........saw his fall announced by G-d by means of sign on the wall caused by drinking from the golden vessles, by means of an homeopathic symptom of gold : a hand on the wall .

May we all have a good month and may apply to us the other side of the golden coin, especially towards Succot:

ha-nechmadim me-zahav rav um'tukim mid'wash we-nofettzufim
