Title : Beyond the Veil of Delusion: Understanding Relationship through Homeopathy Authors: Dr. Mati H Fuller, D I Hom (pract) Publisher: Bigger Vision Books Reviewed by: Dr. A.K.Srivastava. Author's website: http://www.homeopathyonline.biz

"Beyond The Veil of Delusions," is a fascinating psychological and homoeopathic study of human nature and its inner relationships. Mati’s name does not need an introduction in the field of homeopathy. Her insight into human psychology and her proficiency in homoeopathic medicines have merged together to present this exquisite work. The book is easy to understand and imbibe; the presentation of psychological profile of homoeopathic remedies is delightful.

This book, which is a cross between homeopathy and psychology, is written for those who are interested in understanding the deeper levels of the psyche from a homeopathic point of view. Not just for the homoeopaths, but for anyone who is a student of human behaviour, or for anyone who wants to achieve a better understanding of what causes the wheels of relationship to turn or stop. This book is just as essential for those who want to let go of old patterns and expand to higher levels of consciousness, as it is for the homeopath to understand his clients well enough to pick a good remedy.

"Beyond the Veil of Delusions" is divided into four sections, guiding the reader to deeper levels of understanding human nature:

Part I^st: Perceptions of Reality.

Part II^nd: The Remedy Profiles---the Deeper Levels of the Psyche.

Part III^rd---Relationships---Predictable Patterns.

Part IV^th—The Bigger Picture- Conclusions and Reflections.

The first part deals with what delusions are, and how understanding them is vital to know the personality of a person.

Second part deals with the remedy profiles. The book sheds light upon the motivations of many constitutional remedies and it enlightens the reader to the needs, desires and fears each remedy exhibits. As you go through the portrait of a medicine, you become friendly with their characters. You know their weaknesses, their strengths, their fears, their needs and desires. The remedy pictures come alive.

Third part deals with the relationship issues, (personally speaking this was the section I enjoyed the most). Just by going through it we can understand the bond that holds relationships together or the repulsions that might precipitate a separation. Some of the kinships explained in detail include:

Disappointed expectations,
The relationship between Natrum muriaticum woman and Lycopodium man.

The almost perfect relationship,
 The relationship between Natrum muriaticum  woman and Arsenicum album  man.

Independently together,
The relationship between Kali carbonicum woman and Nux vomica man,
and many more.

On the needs and desires of the medicines from relationships Mati has given an insight into inner sphere, “....Natrum mur is attracted to someone who is physically or emotionally like her father; Arsenicum will look for someone who can take care for him; Staphysagria, who hates his mother, is looking for a mother figure he can hate, so he often picks up someone who reminds him of his mother. Causticum wants a mate who can help him save humanity or make the world a better place; Calcarea carb wants a mate who can provide for her and make her feel safe; Phosphorus wants a mate who will love her forever and think she is eternally beautiful; Pulsatilla wants a mate who will never leave her or die.......”

In the fourth part she has explained the significance of meditation in dealing with the relationships. “In a relationship, the priorities are simple: Each person needs to focus on his or her own spiritual journey. The problems we experience in our relationships should simply be seen as opportunities for further spiritual growth. Instead of focussing on all the things they don’t like about each other and constantly convincing the other to change, they will eventually realize that the only person they can truly change is themselves. This perception can then turn the relationship from being a battle of egos (selfishness and separation) into a place of love, nurturing and compassion (togetherness and oneness)......Our whole journey here is about finding a way to reconnect, and eventually become one with, the Ultimate Source, and everything we experience, including relationship problems, are only stepping stones in the process of continued spiritual expansion. All it takes, to be able to see everything in a whole new perspective, is just a small shift in perception.” She has even touched the controversial subject of “The Changing Constitutions” She has just poured her views and left the reader to ponder about the unravelling of the mystery. Fourth part includes Mati’s insight into the ever widening issues which she realised while writing the book.

One thing I can assure you, if you get hold of the book, just flip through the pages and you will feel so magnetized to it that you won’t be able to rest until you have exhausted the last drops of the nectar from it. You can take my words for that.

It is my hope that the readers will also find the content interesting, inspiring and thought provoking. Mati has opened a vision for us, the vision expanding the spheres of understanding of not just homoeopathic medicines but also of human behaviour. It leaves us craving for more. This is not just my wish, but the wish of anyone who reads through the book. We are waiting for the next plunge into the vast ocean of remedy profiles.

Our esurient soul craves for more; Mati, when can you provide us with the next course? To which her response is,

Don’t worry, more will come. I am currently working on the next book, which I think I will call “Straight to the Core.” When it will be finished, I don’t know, but I do promise that I’ll let you know as soon as it happens.”
