THE SECRETIVE HAHNEMANN AND THE ESOTERIC ROOTS OF HOMEOPATHY
by Peter Morrell
In what is a clear reference to his deeper knowledge of Paracelsus, Hahnemann talks of: "...the old mystic number three...triplicity, presented a miniature of the universe [microcosm, macrocosm]...explained to a hair's-breadth..." [Lesser Writings, 490]. Hahnemann’s medical outlook, "like that of Paracelsus, was shaped by his early life…the parallels between their careers, as between their medical doctrines, are striking," [Coulter, II, 306].
