This week the Undercover Homeopath analyses Giles Fraser's psychological profile according to homeopathy principles, and prescribes a homeopathic remedy.
Giles Fraser, a man of the Church, is my choice as the Celebrity in need of attention this week, so he is my couch!
The cannon chancellor of St Paul’s Cathedral has just resigned.
Now, there are resignations and resignations.
Often when we hear the word resignation we are compelled into thinking of someone corned into a tight spot when their improper behaviour has finally been found out, or someone with a large ego who is offended because they feel they have not been given the respect and recognition they deserve.
This is clearly not the case with Rev Giles Fraser. He has resigned because he couldn’t conciliate his ideal of what the Church should be and what it really is in a particular incident of Occupy London movement. As he puts it: “(…) I feel that the church cannot answer a peaceful protest with violence”. And then he becomes deeply moved, tears in his eyes when he mentions how he loved his work at St Paul’s. He also mentions how he feels “terrified” about being out of work because he has a family to support, he has children… he also says that there is no question about his leaving the Church of England.
He comes across as a man of integrity
He puts his moral values before his own interests. He cuts a figure of consistency as we have not often seen, either in the church or in politics. And even when he talks about his concerns for his future, it is really the welfare of his dependants he is concerned about.
Giles Fraser is a great example of a Natrum Muriaticum homeopathic constitution.
This is a very well know homeopathic remedy in homeopathic circles. Some homeopaths even claim that the British as a population are of Nat Mur constitution.
Although each individual will then have their own constitutional remedy type too depending on many factors, there is a general trend of stoicism when faced with personal difficulties, a refusal to indulge in self-pity, a desire to carry on their duties to society and to their families. They can sometimes be perceived as cold due to their “stiff upper lip” – they won’t cry when faced with extreme emotional hardship and yet can be moved to tears while watching a sad movie – they supress their own emotions but they allow themselves to be moved by other’s plight!
Nat Mur is the remedy of the carers, the volunteers and the charity donors. They are selfless, and they tend to support those weaker than themselves. They are the people we refer to as “the salt of the Earth”, the “pillars of the community”. And Giles Fraser has just joined the ranks! As he says he didn’t set out to be a hero or a revolutionary. He didn’t invite the protesters to camp at St Paul’s. In fact he even asked them to move their tents back a little, to clear space for church goers and tourists to enter the Cathedral. But he also asked the police to stand back and to not use violence in the church’s name for removing the protesters. When asked if the protesters would be allowed to attend the service he said that everyone was welcome – isn’t that what the church is supposed to be about?
I’m not a religious person myself, but I can see that Giles Fraser with his spontaneous gesture of tolerance, inclusion and high values of social justice might have done more for the church’s public relations than any PR campaign could have done. That’s what I call “Christ Consciousness” – something I definitely believe in!
