“Beyond the Veil of Delusions” is more than just a simple homeopathy or psychology book; it is also a tool for your own personal expansion since your newfound awareness can help you break your old patterns and transform your life. This book is basically a key to understanding homeopathic psychology, your relationships, your problems and yourself.
This book is, first of all, a homeopathy book. My love for homeopathy inspired me to look as deeply as I could into the remedy profiles for the purpose of understanding how each constitution truly perceives their reality. Once I discovered this, everything became predictable and logical.
Psychology is all about understanding the logic of the psyche, but the logic in this book is nothing like what you will find in a normal psychology book.
And last, but not least, the book wouldn’t be complete unless we can also touch upon what we can do to free ourselves from the bondage or our heritage. This book is therefore more than just a book about homeopathy or psychology; it can also be used as a tool for our own personal expansion. As the understanding of our personal life journeys grow deeper, our newfound awareness can help us find ways to leave our stuckness and misery behind so we can, eventually, discover how to live our lives in simplicity, freedom and joy.
Excerpt
Introduction
The first couple of pages...
Life isn't always fun. Good things happen, and bad things happen, too. We live in a dimension of duality, where good and bad are just two sides of the same coin. When good things happen, we are at ease, and when bad things happen, we become stressed and troubled. We often wish for only happiness and joy, but the fact is, it is often the more difficult times that allow us to "rise to the occasion" and expand to new levels of consciousness in order to find a way to move beyond the misery we are experiencing.
It was one of those difficult times that actually inspired me to write this book. As every woman knows, when we feel miserable, it always helps to talk to a girlfriend, so that is what I did. In fact, I talked to three different girlfriends that day, and every one of them had a different response to my story. After the first one heard what I had to say, she looked around and said: "Well, at least you still have a nice house." The second girlfriend listened to the exact same story and said: "I don't know why you are so miserable. You didn't even have to pay out any money!" And after I told the story, again, to the third girlfriend, she took my head in her hands and looked into my eyes and said: "Whatever happens, try not to be bitter about it!"
As I thought about their comments, I wondered why their responses were so totally different, when the story I told each one was exactly the same. All of a sudden, I could clearly see why. The first girlfriend was a Calcarea Carbonica, and in her perception of reality, life is extremely scary if you don't have a house. I still have a nice house, so she couldn't see any reason for me to be miserable. The second girlfriend was an Arsenicum Album, always worried about money issues, so in her perception of reality I was fine because nobody took my money. And the third girlfriend was, of course, a Natrum Muriaticum. She was feeling my pain, and she gave me the best advice she could, based on her own perception of reality: "Try not to get bitter about it!" I thought to myself, whoa! This is probably what we all do, but why do we do this? And why do different people perceive the same thing in so many different ways? I wondered if I could find more answers if I studied the mental and emotional symptoms associated with each remedy profile, and I also wondered how much these different perceptions of reality affect our lives and our relationships. As I delved into my books as deeply as I could, with great interest and determination, one thing led to another, and before long, I found myself in the middle of writing this book.

Brings homeopathy to a new, exciting dimension!
Beyond the Veil of Delusions - Understanding Relationships Through Homeopathy by Mati H Fuller is a fascinating psychological and homeopathic study of human nature and its inner relationships.
Mati's understanding of psychology and her proficiency in homeopathic medicine merge together in this delightful, easy to read and easy to understand book.
We all have a need for water, food, and a hospitable climate where we can live and thrive comfortably. We all have a need for love, attention and affection, but our love relationships and interactions have always been a source of mystery to many of us. How often have we heard, "What does he see in her?" or "They seemed like such a nice couple, why did they split up?" Or, even, "Why do they stay together?" These questions have never been adequately explained, but Mati's insights remove the mystery. This book sheds light upon the motivations of many constitutional remedies and it enlightens the reader to the needs, desires and fears each remedy exhibits. Now we can understand the glue that hold relationships together or the repelling forces that might precipitate a separation.
Beyond the Veil of Delusions is fascinating reading, not just for the homeopath, but for anyone who is a student of human behavior, or for anyone who wants to achieve a better understanding of what makes relationships work or not work. Through Mati's understanding of human needs at the more elemental levels of security, image and delusions these remedy pictures come alive.
Mati Fuller brings a rich background to the homeopathic table. Her study of homeopathy and her clearness of vision and understanding of human behavior make this a unique but solid compilation of her knowledge. Her book is over 300 pages, but I do have one complaint: it was so good that Mati left me wanting more. I scoured the index hoping for just one more remedy, well maybe two more, or even three more would be nice…
Mati has opened a door for us, a door that many homeopaths can now pass through, she has brought our literature and understanding to a new, exciting dimension, and I look forward to her next book as time allows her to continue her project into the future.
This book is a classical piece of literature; it will take its place prominently on my book shelf right next to Catherine Coulter, Robin Murphy's Workbook, Gibbson and Bailey's Psychology. I am always delighted to have another reference book that I can use to refresh my knowledge in a particular area and Mati's book has done that - taught me more in an exciting, refreshing way.

Very insightful!
I just received the book yesterday; have been reading and re-evaluating life ever since. It helps so much to have your examples to learn from. I already see myself and my relationships, and also some family members in the example portraits/descriptions. I thank you for sharing those, and for writing this book for all of our benefit. It helps to untangle some of the mysteries inherent in relating to others.
I appreciate your including the core issue concept, ideas on how to work with these; and your suggestions for compromise and solutions are very practical and welcomed. Also, the progressive flavor of the book, with examples of spiritual and personal-growth successfully demonstrating value within the relationships is most welcomed and timely I'd say.
Thank you!

Bravo!
It was easy to settle into this book. As soon as I had read my remedy profile, I was just as eager to read the rest. There is an underlying theme of compassion in all of Mati's work, which is exactly what I am looking for in my own relationships. Extremely insightful. Well done!
