Neon de Jeremy Sherr, Critique

Review of "Neon" by Jeremy Sherr

Neon – Jeremy Sherr’s new book of the Noble gases series, presents a new standard of MM as well as being a demonstration of how to convert a proving to MM: possibly it should be called ‘MMM’ – Multidimensional Materia Medica.   Sherr starts off with the analysis and synthesis of Neon-proving, as you would hope a good, concise and clear MM would do, going neatly from physical affinities through generalities and emotions to the main themes and a range of totalities of Neon; to name a few, sensation, function and structure.

But that is only the very beginning. Next come annotated Neon cases collected from around the globe, then a thorough differential diagnosis of Neon compared with remedies such as Helium (the previous book in the series), Ozone, Iridium, Polaris, Oncor-t. and others, contrasting Neon with insights into the heart of those remedies based on their proving information.  Sherr then takes off to create a multidimensional view of Neon by opening vistas to encompass the remedy, presenting (proving-based) points of view of Neon ranging from Miasms to the periodic table and  to the bible, dimensions and quantum physics through Cabala all the way to the stars that conceived Neon and beyond, really beyond. Neon is made further multidimensional by the poetry, citations and illustrations that constantly support the ideas presented.

The levels of perception of Neon are highlighted by the chapter names that use ascending potencies going all the way from Neon 12c to Neon CM while the level of analogy of symptom interpretation is matched to the corresponding chapter.

Some of the chapters towards the end (further than CM) will call for your concentration, being very logical as well as analogic, but then the clarity and economy of the text supported by the straight forward illustrations will have you sail through.

Full of analogies in a true homeopathic spirit, and beautifully creative in suggesting possible connections between inspiring realms, all through the lens of Neon, this is a highly-recommended, practical and inspiring read for the serious student of MM, seeking a window in to the world of the noble gases, a solid understanding of the relation of remedies in first and second rows of the periodic table, as well as insight in to the Psoric miasm.
While soaring to inspiring realms Sherr keeps his feet firmly grounded in the proving language of Neon so strap your seat belts and enjoy this new Multidimensional proving experience.
