TNR Happenings, March 18, 2024
The Tao of TNR
Some of this may sound unbelievable to non-participants, and I don’t blame you, but these things really happened this past Saturday. There were more breakthroughs with participants than I have ever experienced up to the present. The testimonials
brought tears to my eyes. We saw the parent fallacy up close and personal. There were lots of interactive parts for all participants. We talked about resignation vs. recognition; penetrating vs. receiving, allowing, receiving, accepting instead of push, push, push; looking for approval from the disease society or being strong enough like a good parent to demonstrate what is best for them and especially their children; realizing what economics is really about - it’s never about what it’s about, i.e. the tip of the iceberg; experiencing firsthand what moving molecules is all about; alchemy, miracles, and healing that can’t be explained by Western scientific methods; Arcane definition means understood by few, mysterious or secret. No wonder it’s such an uphill battle attempting to communicate to people who think disease is health. No wonder it takes pliers to pry open the wallets of people to get healthy again. Money over health? How can this be? The day the music died, the absence of the sacred, or the neutering of healing, Chiropractic, Naturopathic, and Acupuncture. The mystery, the sacred, and the essence were OUTLAWED by the prevailing powers. From Chairman Mao to regulatory boards, the czars of disease, covid, and government/pharmaceutical deception, the linear was adopted, and the truth or essence was forced underground. The absence of the sacred. Imagine an immature force like science that has only been around for a few hundred years commenting and judging something mature like Acupuncture that has been around for thousands of years. Immature force vs. mature power. The power of restraint. The sending off of a sacred four legged that triggered events ten hours later that will result in giving another a second chance at life. Sacred pipe keeper and lighter, smoking a ceremonial pipe 16 years in the making for the first time. Next time you see the TNR giant, ask him to attempt to describe what he experienced in two days. Jack and the Beanstalk revisited. A kid’s book by a TNR member and Miracle Training graduate. A tear-stained call in from an established once-in-a-lifetime doctor coming out of her cocoon and seeing things clearly for the first time. Ignorance cuts deeper, is invisible, and leaves more scars and wounds than overt cruelty. She is re-establishing family and professional relationships in depth, rather than superficial, Level 1 type chit-chat. A kid in a candy store, plus ice cream. Renewed commitment to our practices, families, and connectedness to others. How you serve your next person is the way we serve the world. Ideas leave not their source. Best effort, or don’t bother. Choice and voice instead of domination and threats.
The Next Big Training!
Blackout May 17 and 18th. It is going to be a Grief Retreat. Don’t judge it as irrelevant or unnecessary until you receive your mailer explaining all about it. This is too important to be emailed. Kenny Smoker is going to be the co-presenter with me. You can’t afford to miss this event. Companion tickets are available so non-TNR people can attend. Invite colleagues, siblings, practice members in big trouble, etc. This is a capped event and will sell out very quickly.
From the Mind of Miyagi
A core to my teachings and guidance of doctors, healers, business people, or people with a death sentence over their heads is their upbringing. It can limit and suffocate the limitlessness of your life. You don’t know it, but there is a governor on your engine, a saboteur in your life constantly sapping your ability to accomplish, achieve, have fulfillment, or have a purpose. It can leave you lifeless and spiritless, and you don’t see the beauty of everything around you. Psychologists, MDs, and other linear-thinking people call this determinism. Your upbringing controls your life. Nature vs. nurture. It’s out of your hands. Society doesn’t want you to be successful, so you will be easy to dominate, and they can force you to do approved things. Think of covid and the treatment of the first people who attempted to breathe sense to the senseless who were manhandled, censored, had their licenses revoked, were threatened, etc. Many mistakenly say, ‘that’s just who I am’ about the difficult things to them. NO, NO, NO. TNR has always been about, and still is, transformation, not having your life controlled by your parents and upbringing.
You, and you alone, are in charge of your life. I’ve seen crappy parents and great kids and great parents and crappy kids. Most of us do our best with parenting with no manual in sight. I was so fortunate and had a dandy of a mentor/second father in Dr. Joe. He introduced me to a dimension of freedom, choice, and voice I did not know existed. I never thought that something like essence, sacredness, and another way of understanding society existed, something that can’t be conquered, dominated, or forced into submission. You had to earn it and devote your life to it, and in return, it insulated you from being mediocre or a face in the crowd, devoured by your parents, regulatory boards, and closed-minded people, just paying bills, standing before truth in front of practice members, having those difficult dialogues with people that won’t come to terms with you helping them or agreeing with disease insurance, and looking the other way when it comes to how society treats our children, the oppressed,, and women.
There was an initiation that happened last weekend. I and all participants were a part of it. It was my privilege and honor to facilitate and be a part of it. There was life and death (as there always is!) all around us, and we went off course and off the menu of our culture and society and chose to journey into the unknown that upholds life instead of worshipping disease and death. Everyone came to Norwood with something they wanted to rid themselves of. Some of it was spoken, and others carried their burdens in silence. It was equally released.
DCME Confidential
Question 1: You have spoken a lot about grief, sorrow, trauma, and loss. You mentioned authentic and non-authentic. What did you mean by this?
Answer: Authentic grief is where something actually happened, like the early departure of a parent, divorce, the death of a sibling, the burning down of your home, or being in a car that ran over a kid. You did not ask to be involved. You continue to live, but the grief was unresolved and not processed, and it affects you in a myriad of invisible and very visible ways. Unresolved grief is epidemic in our society. Inauthentic grief is from your perception of life: examples are you weren’t the favorite, you were compared to siblings and pitted against each other. It still results in all kinds of issues, but it’s based on an individual perception not something that was forced on you.
Question 2: I have a potential DCME/Level 2 and the parents are as stuck as the 14-year of kid is. They want me to see him once a month and see what I can do. They just won’t commit to Level 2 care. What’s going on?
Answer: They are in a state of resignation: pride, they have tried all kinds of things, and there are no options available. They must shift to recognition and surrender and submit to the understanding there are solutions, they just don’t know them. They must have the willingness to be guided instead of being stubborn and giving up. Giving up takes no courage. Putting your life in a once-in-a-lifetime TNR doctor’s care is all about trusting what can only be understood looking backwards.
Dr. Kevin’s Afterschool Program
Miracle Training is again in session. I start at 3:00 p.m. EST. If you need to get in touch with me about anything, please do it before this as I will be locked down. If you have an emergency that needs immediate attention, call my wife’s cell phone, 508. 631.4321 and she will make an appointment that evening with me so that I can assist you.
