Excerpts taken from Magic and Medical Science in Ancient Egypt, by Paul Ghalioungui (1963)

Although most of the medical papyri we know come from about the Renaissance, it is certain that they are only copies, often third- or fourth-hand ones, of older works.  Occasionally stray pages were copied on the papyrus scrolls by scribes with no previous medical training, who paid no attention to continuity of subject.

Long ago, when writing was a secret science, the Egyptian scribe was not a simple copyist.  He had the combined training of a calligrapher, a philosopher, a scholar and a scientist.  Many physicians prided themselves on bearing the title of scribe among their others, and like Hesyreh, had themselves portrayed with the palette and reeds, the sesh, symbol of that learned class.  The actual copying was probably performed in the pir-ankh or Houses of Life that were attached to the temples and where the scholars, physicians, philosophers and scientists of the time used to meet.

We know of nine principal medical papyri.  Read the rest »

Throughout the centuries, many authors had suggested the possibilities of combining music and color in their presentations.  Perhaps Louis Bertrand Castel was probably the first to imagine the existence of an independent art of color-music.  Recognized as one of the most eminent mathematicians of his day, in 1720 he first describes his La Musique en Couleurs.  Castel’s writings cover a wide range of thoughts and he appears to be as much interested in aesthetics and philosophy as he was in mathematics and geometry.

The following information is an excerpt from a lecture presented in England in 1987 by Hubert M. Schweizer. The transcripts of this lecture, containing diagrams and charts, as well as some exercises to develop an awareness of the Calligaris technique, is available from the World Research Foundation.

Guiseppe Joseph Calligaris was born on October 29, 1876, in Forni di Sotto in Northern Italy, where his father was the official community doctor.

It seems that he had a calling to become a natural scientist and therapist.  Calligaris studied medicine, received the highest grades and obtained his medical degree in 1901 summa cum laude at the medical facility in Bologna for his pioneering dissertation titled, Thoughts Do Heal. Read the rest »

Theophrastus Phillippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim, better known as Paracelsus, was born in Einsiedeln, Switzerland in November 1493 and died in Salzburg on September 24, 1541. He was a medical doctor, alchemist and philosopher who provoked controversy during his lifetime and still invokes controversy today when his name is mentioned.

The question his reputation invites is whether he was a man of the Middle Ages or of modern times. If you examine his writings in the context of the Renaissance period, you will find an individual who was well ahead of the thinking of his day. Read the rest »
