"The story so far"...the Catalyst: Finding My Center

Image
I've replayed our story countless times, searching for a different ending, a different path I could have taken. Yet, each time I do, I come to the same conclusion: the way things unfolded was the only way they could. I know it was messy and it must have seemed heartless, but that was never my intention. The truth is, I never stopped loving you. How could I? You were the most important person in my life, and in many ways, that was the root of my struggle. I needed to change and grow, and I had to do it on my own. Leaving you, as painful as it was, was the only way forward for us both. When we met, we were two wild, impressionable kids. But I was carrying a lifetime of bad programming, living with a forced perspective that contradicted my deepest truths. You were the catalyst who broke through those walls I'd built.

A Primer on Classical Homeopathy

Image
Classical homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine that operates on the principle of "like cures like." The core idea is that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can, in extremely diluted forms, be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. A key part of the process involves dynamization, which is the belief that a remedy's potency is increased through a series of methodical dilutions and vigorous shaking. This shaking, called succussion, is believed by some practitioners to release "immaterial and spiritual powers," making the substance more active. The final product is a highly diluted substance, often to a point where no original molecules remain. Homeopathic practice has evolved over time. Some modern approaches include using substances based on their chemical relationship or natural classification, such as the periodic table. While some in the homeopathic community see this as a promising way to organize remedies, others conside...
