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

Summary

Presented here is the second of two cases, a ‘bird-like’ case following the bird case studied in Part One of this article. 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 – in the first case of Cathartes aura and, in this case, of 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 we saw revealed a mode of operating in the world as an invisible yet powerful force. Here, in the second part, we will see how Magnetis polus arcticus addresses a susceptibility to overwhelming unseen forces, a pattern that had limited this patient's life expression and healing.

Key words

Magnetis polus arcticus - Bird remedies - Bird-like remedies - Unseen force
