Unprejudiced Observer
2
Hahnemann

• This individualizing examination of a case of
  diseasedemands of the physician nothing but
  freedom from prejudice and sound senses,
  attention in observing and fidelity in tracing
  the picture of the disease.

3

• Let us understand the word unprejudiced observer
  as I understand it.

4

• Witnessing with participation in passively alert
  way.
• Witnessing with penetration and participation in
  passively alert way.

5

• Let us understand the each component of these
  quotes in detail.

6

Passively alert
7

• Passive means
• completely free from his learnt memory, past
  experiences, and knowledge.
• Completely free and empty mind which is not full
  with knowledge.
• A mind which is free from the known.
• A mind which is ready to take each experience as
  completely new one.
• Such a mind is more receptive and take everything
  as it is.

8
Highly alert

• In order to observe and perceive whole phenomena
  as it is.
• To pick up all the expression gestures, body
  language, and the whole phenomena happening
  during the case taking.

9
Witnessing

• A witness is a close observer who gives a first
  hand account of something seen.
• To observe as it is without adding or subtracting
  a word.
• Observing a phenomena as it is without coloring
  it with your judgment.

10

• This is what they do in Buddhist meditation. They
  say meditation is nothing but witnessing your own
  self, witnessing the whole process as it is.

11
Witnessing/case analysis

• Analysis
• To draw an inference by adding, subtracting and
  judging the data and give a name or meaning to
  the experience or phenomenon.
• This is the job of psychoanalyst and not
  homoeopath.

12
Look at what is

• During case witnessing process look at what is
  rather then what it could be, should be, may be.
• Rule is What is- is

13
Penetration

• Meaning
• To enter something, in something and not just
  stand out side of it.
• Penetrate into the patients feeling, delusions
  and sensation.
• Penetrate in to all levels of patients in
  passively alert way.

14

• In the sutras of four foundations of mindfulness,
  the Buddha recommended that we observe in a
  penetrating way.

15
Participant

• To involve, to take part in.
• Match your wavelength, vibration, frequency with
  the patients frequency.
• Our questions should match with the patients
  words, frequencies and tone.

16

• Even nuclear scientist says the same thing. when
  you enter the world of elementary particles, you
  have to become a participant in order to
  understand about them.
• You can no longer stand outside and remain just
  an observer.
• Today many scientist prefer the word,
  participant to the word observation.

17
Monologue/dialogue

• Do the dialogue with patient and not the
  monologue.
• Dialogue means when one is talking other is
  listening and vise-a-versa.

18
Freedom from the known

• Be completely free from the known in order to get
  the complete case.

19

• So, Unprejudiced observer in its complete sense
  is

20

• Witnessing with participation in passively alert
  way.
• Witnessing with penetration and participation in
  passively alert way.

21

• The mere perception of what is, is the beginning
  of breaking down of the measurement of mind, of
  its frontiers, its patterns. Just to see things
  as they are. Then you will find that the mind can
  come to that freedom involuntarily without
  knowing.
