Bird and Bird-like – Susceptible to or Being the Unseen Force

Summary

Presented here is the first of two cases (the second to be published in the next issue – the editor), one a bird and the other “bird-like”. They share a similar depth of injury, one that includes multiple levels of trauma. Each case stands on its own as a contribution to our clinical understanding of both Cathartes aura and Magnetis polus arcticus but, in addition to this, there are interesting features to be understood through comparing the bird and the bird-like. Primary among these features is the concept of unseen force. With the Turkey Vulture case a mode of operating in the world as the invisible yet powerful force is revealed, and (in the second part) with the North Pole magnet case we will see how being susceptible to an overwhelming unseen force has limited the patient's life expression and healing.

Key words

Cathartes aura - Aves - Bird remedies - Bird-like remedies - Unseen force - Invisible - Actaea spicata
