We really just don't live long enough, and the brevity of our lives ensures the brevity of our lives.
In the last few years, my main interests have been physical health and mental health. Or, the material and the spiritual, to make it more entertaining.
I have a biology textbook that I love - but it's really just the book for first year bio, and a med student would have to tackle 100x the information in this book. Eight years to get a medical PhD is ridiculously fast, and I think that only gives entry level knowledge of physiology. By the time a doctor is truly a healer, they are old and nearing their end. If even then...
On the other hand, I am borderline obsessed with Carl Jung. He was a psychotherapist who went further than any therapist has ever gone - so far and so deep, academia can't handle it and studiously avoids studying his work. And yet, I think he was only on the doorstep of what is possible. How many of Jung's lifetimes would be required to really enter the mansion of psychic possibility?
Healing the body is pointless without healing the mind - the fallibility of the body is a reflection of the fallibility of the mind. Conversely, healing the mind while the body is diseased is merely a temporal relief before the bodily eschaton. A real healer would have to master both - the intricacies of physiology and the mechanics of mind.
A century of study would only be an apprenticeship. Eight years to a PhD would be considered a joke. Two centuries of practice is probably the minimum for a competent doctor, in a world where real healing occurs and yields the tangible fruit of long life.
I'm kinda pissed off about this...
