The Renegade Doc Comments

A very interesting website, the Abundant Mystic, is holding a Telesummit over the next few weeks.  These are daily interviews by Edward Mills, the site owner, with folk active in and having success with the concept of “mystic business” or, as I prefer, living from the heart and, particularly, doing business from the heart.

The first one played yesterday, May 10.  It featured Bob Doyle, a Law of Attraction guy who teaches the concept and apparently does a lot of personal development type stuff.

Great interview!

Mr. Doyle really pegged the whole concept of the Law of Attraction, and I personally was getting a lot of tidbits and “ah-has” from it.

Here’s one big one:  The Law of Attraction is poorly named.

It should be called The Law of Resonance.

“Attraction” gives the connotation that you sit and “attract”.  Like honey to bees; just be sweet, do nothing and in they come.

Apparently this concept has taken hold and very few are doing anything or seeing any results.

“Resonance” on the other hand implies that one must actually take action and “tune in” to the resonant frequency of whatever they are attracting.  There’s some movement required.  Now, it doesn’t have to be hard and grunting and sweating and all that.  The “dial” just has to be moved to get to the “right station.”

The idea of Resonance is also more in line with the fact that the universe is energy that is constantly everywhere and in everything vibrating and hence made up of frequency.  The concept is much more “scientific” in that it makes sense to the Western mind.  We talked about this one day on our Renegade Heart Radio Show on Talkshoe.

And that really is what it is all about.  Getting in tune.  With yourself, your passion (as Mr. Doyle says), your purpose, Father. 

Once the movement to alignment has occurred (not always so easy and certainly not always without effort – as Mr. Doyle points out there is often a lot of resistance) then the energy can flow in the form of most anything.  Joy, pleasure, satisfaction, money, accomplishment, “success” in whatever way you define it.

This interview is certainly worth a listen.  Unfortunately, if you didn’t get it yesterday you will have to pay Edward for a copy.  In the meantime, sign up for the rest of the cast; if they are even close to Mr. Doyle it will be worth your time.

And, BTW, there are no affiliate links or remunerations for me to tell you about this series, just letting you know about some good stuff.

You see, that is my passion.  I am putting what I heard last night into action.  My passion is teaching people to think bigger and better, to take what they “know” and really get a handle on it to make sense in the big picture.  My passion is also to encourage people to get real with themselves, to get “naked”, figuratively and literally, to shed all the posturing and posing and covering up we do so we don’t have to really see our lacks and needs and dis-eases.  The Garden of Eden is the goal, attainable once again if we only believe.

I’m turning the dial to resonate with that which is me, shedding all my own stuff standing in the way and standing back to see the Law of Resonance work.

See you in the Garden!

Blessings,

Dr Jon

P.S. Another passion is actually doing the garden thing.  I’ll see you in that garden at one of my other blogs, the Urban Farmer.

Suppose you accidentally punctured your hand with a piece of metal that caused some damage to nerves and muscles?

What would you do?

Go the the ER or local doctor’s office and have them remove it, of course.

But suppose things still weren’t right and you had numbness and tingling and weakness in a couple of fingers as a result?

What now?

Doctors are unlikely to go back in, likely to make more problems since the actual problem is probably from scarring and nothing that surgery can really fix.

Here’s a renegade idea:

Assuming that you still have the piece of metal that caused the problem, a souvenir of life, TREAT IT.

What do you mean?

Apply oil, gently massage it, send it love. put healing intention into it, do anything else you can think of that will bring healing.

How does that work – that sounds really crazy!

Here’s what I think.

The metal injury producer (or anything else that causes an injury) vibrates just like you and I do.  When it impacted your body it picked up some of your vibrations and vice versa.  So putting healing energy into the metal is the same as putting it into yourself.

Crazy? Seems so, but can’t hurt.  Give it a try!

Blessings,

Dr Jon

Do you ever have “happenstance” events occur that you know really belong to “synchronicity?”

A couple  days ago I was checking my gmail account and came across an email that has been an amazing door-opener!  This particular account is used to capture lots of business-related things that I mostly discard.  I usually recognize the authors and topics so don’t spend time on them.

This one, however, was different.  Not recognized.  Worth checking out.  Wow!  Was it ever.

It pointed to a lecture given by Bruce Lipton, PhD.  Talk about resonance!  He started out talking about Quantum Physics and how the atom is energy and not mass and how “stuff” is energy vortex and not really “stuff.” 

From there he went on to point out that what shapes our physical “reality” is primarily our MIND, our PERCEPTIONS, our THOUGHTS.  He also made it clear that while most of us are programmed with negative and “can’t do” programs, we CAN rewrite the programs and change our lives.

That’s what I’m talking about!

So today I went to his website to look at some of the methods which he suggests can do the rewriting.  (We may discuss some of those later.)

What intrigued me was an article on the site called “Brain versus Gonads” in which he pointed out that the cell nucleus is NOT the control center, the “brain,” of the cell as we have been taught (and as I have taught).  Rather, the nucleus is the mechanism for reproduction of cellular parts, or, in other words, is the cell’s “gonads”! 

That is a rather Renegade concept, and like most Renegade thoughts is true in direct proportion to its digression from recognized correctness.

He goes on to say that the true brain of the cell is the cell membrane, for it is the membrane which must register and decide and control that which comes into and out of it for its proper functioning and living.

Take the leap with me. 

If we (since we) live in a holographic world where every picture is a picture of the whole and of the next higher level, then what is going on at the cell is probably going on or suppose to go on at the body level.  Hence our real “brain” would be our “body membrane”, our skin!

Perhaps this is why Father put us on the planet naked – to get our true brains maximally in tune, maximally functional.

And, as an aside, isn’t it interesting that we succumb to the thinking that the “gonads” controls cells and to the thinking that  the “gonads” (sex) controls our bodies?  Only because we let them.

Blessings,

Dr Jon

P.S. Dr. Lipton’s site is here.

P.P.S. He also applies the concepts of programming brains with the positive, uplifting messages to the raising of children.  Wish I had known this stuff 30 years ago, before my guys were born.

Times are purportedly tough and folk are looking for ways to generate more cash, even large corporations, one would assume.

We are taught in marketing classes, conferences, videos, blogs and emails that the best customer to sell to is the one who has just bought, hence the concept of the backend sale or upsell.

So I was in Wal-mart today making a purchase and the problem-solving brain kicked in as I observed what went on with my purchase. 

I commented to the clerk what he and his store could do to make more money after the service sale than made by the actual service.  He agreed it was a good idea but didn’t think he had the brains (nor, bless his heart, the motivation/ambition either) to effect the upsale.

This brings up a couple of questions:

• How come Wal-mart isn’t already doing this – it is such a no-brainer even I could see it immediately?
• Why doesn’t a company like Wal-mart provide incentives for their employees to think they CAN do better and generate more cash for their store?

Guess they need a Mastermind group like we have at the business building group in which I am involved, YouCANBuild.it.  We encourage the brain power and the action needed to generate the extra cash.  Join us and see for yourself.

And for those of you who actually read this, when you go to the site avail yourselves of the FREE stuff that will help you.  Audio version of Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich is one of them.  Gotta love it!

Be thinking of ways to help your own bottom line.

Blessings,

Dr Jon

P.S. The next question is why don’t I do it myself?  Been thinking about it.  Would be about a $100 initial investment in equipment and supplies.  Since I am not standing at the actual cash register at the time of service there are some logistic problems in getting names of folk who used the service.  That will be the tough part.  And other places provide the same service – we’ll find those and offer it to them. We’ll work it out!

This question came from a friend yesterday:

Why do you think we are put in situations where we are stripped of our own selves?  Is it out of God’s goodness so we do not rely on our own resources but switch over to His?  I feel like I have been stripped over and over again of my sense of “self”. 

Here was my response:

[Friend],
Now we are getting into the good stuff.

Forget ALL the theological “crap” you have ever learned/believed/studied. It is not “bad”, but it detracts from the “naked truth” about Father.

Go back to the beginning. Father who is the I AM, the ONE, the ONLY – get that? the ONLY; there is really not US or ME! – made man in his imagination, his image, a hologram, an illusion but in which He could experience life in an infinite number of ways as extensions of Himself. Hence you and me. But this is really Father’s life we are experiencing so there is really not ‘ours’. I know, that is a hard one to get our head around.

He put us on the planet naked and unashamed so that a) we would all be one without symbols and concepts that separate and b) we would FEEL and EXPERIENCE maximally the physical expression of his thought. In other words, He wanted to get the biggest bang for his buck, maximize his investment.

He also gave “us” FREE CHOICE to either experience all that we could for him or go off and be independent and play with the “bad” boys down the street (which are also part of His expression, part of the story that all turns out OK in the end).

Over all this is the idea that LOVE will be the cohesiveness, the agent, the medium, the force that woos and draws and brings us into His Oneness again.

We, however, in our choice, like scaliwags given access to the candy store, like to go play in ways that are less than attentive to Father. So He is constantly putting “tests” in front of us, constantly reminding us there is an easier way to get through the current experience, ways of living that are more intimately associated with Him.

Yeshua exemplified this for us and cut right through ALL the religious, social, cultural, and gender structure that kept people separated from themselves and each other and Father. He called it living life more abundantly. We could call it stripped of our own selves.

All of this is just to say, yes, Father will “strip us of ourselves” so that we will intimately, nakedly, unashamedly return to that place where He can speak and we can listen and do and experience Him in the deepest places of our heart, and His! It is so that His imaginations, His images, His creations will bring Him Great Pleasure, just as Yeshua did.

“This is my Beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Yeshua is the first of many to whom it will be said, “Well done!”

I personally want to be in that group, want to let Father experience through my image of him ALL that He wants to experience through me (it will be but a fragment of the Total!). I find it most often and best occurs when I can “let go” of myself, be stripped of myself, and be that naked and unashamed one, free to really just listen and follow the wind, the spirit, that comes from no one knows where but whose effect can be seen by the trail it leaves. That really is Life and Breath.

Hope this makes sense.

Love you,

Jon

Weird, I know. Inverted, as Gerald O’Donnell calls this planet. Confusing. Bottom line – Listen to Father, Lose “me” to gain the eternal.

Blessings,

Dr Jon
 

In a “flash” of inspiration, or something, I realized the other day what it will take for healing to occur.

First, CHOICE.

Yeshua asked, “Do you want to be healed?”  Direct and to the point. To the heart.  No ifs, ands or buts.  No excuses.  In spite of all the excuses offered – no one here to help, too many get there first, etc. – these were discarded, ignored, and not allowed to enter the conversation.  It was simply a matter of Desire.  Want to.  He told the Canaanite woman, “You get what you want.”  We can choose to want healing or we can choose to live in excuses and blame, thereby wanting to stay unhealed – whatever that looks like.

In the final analysis, perhaps choice is the ONLY thing required for healing.

Second, SARNO

John E. Sarno, M.D. has written several books about and practiced a technique which gets you to admit that you have repressed rage which is expressed in your body in some form of dis-ease.  His rationale is that the mind is designed to keep emotional trauma at a manageable level and does so by subconsciously shunting the feelings into physical symptoms that may or may not have actual anatomical correlation.  On the surface this sounds pretty crazy.  The healing comes when you consciously break the shunting process and don’t allow the emotion to manifest in the body.  Instead, you deal with the emotion.  This is powerful and places the source of much if not most physical dis-ease squarely on the shoulders of emotion (where it belongs!)  The conscious effort required to use this technique takes us back to choice once again.

Third, GET NAKED

Naked, vulnerable, transparent, open, honest, real – all words that mean the same thing.  Naked carries the extra connotation of applying the concept to our physical body while the other words apply the concept to our emotion, attitude, and words and leave it at that.  However, unveiling the physical body requires a choice that is a bit more intense, in our culture at least, because we carry so much fear and inferiority and shame and disdain for the body.  We have let the sexualization of the body and the exploitation of that warp our thinking about the body, its worth and beauty, and we have decided that bodies are nasty and ugly.  However, to truly get to a place of openness, even with our body, requires that we release the protection, the fear, the failure, the excuses for being less than “perfect” and thus are open for healing.

So we again come back to choice.

Yeshua, I believe, somehow in asking questions of us and somehow in touching people as he healed them, takes us to the naked place within us where there is no longer any protection or any fear or any shame.  This was the Eden experience and to this he has provided the way of restoration if we will only so choose.

Let’s be healed!

In October of last year I attended my best friend’s daughter’s wedding in Jacksonville, FL.

My friend and I first met when my family moved to northern Florida in 1963.  Three years later we went off to college together – Bryan College in Dayton, TN.  I kicked around through various colleges though he stayed the whole time at Bryan and we went in different directions though frequently interweaving.  He was my Best Man at my wedding and I was a Groomsman in his.  He taught school under my Dad for a couple of years,during a few months of which I took my Dad’s classes while he was injured.  He had two girls, I had two boys.  Once, when the kids were teens, we met in Atlanta and went to a Braves ball game.

He has been the kind of friend that is rare and I count myself extra specially blessed to have had him call me his friend.  Ours is the kind of relationship that no matter how many years may go by, if we only talk on our birthdays, we pick up where we left off.  No maneuvering or posturing, just right down to the meat and let’s get real.

So when he called to say his youngest was getting married, and that he didn’t expect me to be there but just wanted me to know, I had two thoughts: 1) thank you very much for telling me; I really do appreciate it and 2) I am going to surprise you and show up without you knowing it.

And I did.

Except that he was so nervous he didn’t dare show it, but he about fell over when I went up and hugged him right before the ceremony started!

There was just one problem with all this surprise thing that I didn’t think about.

I didn’t get all the notices for the reception, nor could I ask him how to get to the church.  All I had was the address on the invitation!

So here I was, staying with my Sister about an hour west of Jax, having to get to the church on time but not having a clue where I was going.  My days of living in northern Florida took me occasionally to Jax, but not often and not to the area where the church was.  What to do?  Didn’t want to ruin the surprise by letting others know I was coming.

My niece to the rescue!

She had recently been given a GPS (thought I’d never to get around to that, didn’t you?) so she programmed the church address into it, plugged it into my sister’s van and away I went!  I felt like Abraham, going out but not knowing where he was going!

Now I’m the type that likes to have a visual as to where I am heading before I leave on trips.  We call that a Map and Planning.

On this day I had no idea (kind of like I’ve lived my life).  But here I was, on a schedule, driving through uncharted, for me, waters, looking for a place I knew not where.

And I wasn’t worried!

In fact, as I went along, this comforting voice kept talking to me, almost like God from heaven, telling me where to turn and when!  It was awesome.  Just sit back and drive and don’t worry.  This device took me to the exact doorway, after taking me over railroad tracks and through a neighborhood that I don’t think was even on the map!

This was a spiritual experience!  This was faith exemplified.  Traveling the highway of life with only the destination in mind and absolutely no idea how to get there.

This just felt right.  Wish every day would be so real.

Blessings,

Dr Jon

P.S. I raved so much about this GPS thing my boys gave me one of my own for Christmas. Love it!

I just spent an hour with a group of people whom I have come to appreciate though have never spoken to any of them face to face or never shaken their hand.  We are all members of the Focus Society Mastermind and attend the weekly Webinar series hosted by the Focus Society that is teaching us how to Build Our Business From Scratch.

There are two reasons why I am blogging about this:

First, for any who want to build a business or have a business that they are trying to improve, this is a group of people you need to meet and a place you need to go on a regular basis.  I could say a lot more and give you the big sales pitch but I won’t.  If business building rings your bell, go and see what this group offers and find out for yourself why you need to be part.  Here is a link when you are ready:

Business Building Webinar Series

Second, and more importantly, tonight one of the presenters, Brad Parler, showed a video that captured the spirit of what this group is all about and which captures the heart of many of us who really want to see things in the world change.  Whether change looks like people making more cash, becoming healthier, more satisfied, helping others grow and learn, or just becoming who they are supposed to be, this video is an encouragement and a reminder.  That he could take it off YouTube and play it over a webinar was also pretty cool.

Here’s the video.  Enjoy.  Be encouraged.  Live your dream!

I recently enjoyed perusing and making the occasional comment on a forum for Christian Naturists. This is a fascinating website for seldom do I find people so open and caring, though that should be expected with this group since they are already loving themselves enough to be naked and unashamed where appropriate and have realized that this was Father’s original intent and is honoring to Him. So honoring themselves and others openly comes naturally.

In one of the topics discussed the issue of clothes given Adam and Eve got very scholarly and analytical of words and meanings of words and at one point I commented that we put too much emphasis on Knowledge and not enough on just living, being like children living in the shadow of a loving Father.  I was taken to task for the seemingly “anti-knowledge” comment and thought rather than approaching a reply from an intellectual angle, a story would be more helpful.  At first I thought to just drop the whole thing where it lay but this really goes to the heart of our purpose on the planet, as persons and as believers, so is worth some thought.  I also thought writing the story on my blog offered more space and more freedom for others to read it.  Entering forums can be a logistical task for some and others may not want to hang around a Naturist site, Christian or not – though it would no doubt be worth your time and a growing experience.  A link on the forum to here will make it available to readers and friends there.

So here is the story:

Once upon a time a man gave his son a home and all the resources needed to maintain it and to live comfortably for the remainder of his life.  This gift was the result of years of this man’s time, attention and energy and he knew every crack and cranny of the property and how everything worked.  He could sense, before it happened, if anything was about to go wrong or need fixing.  His intent in giving his son the property was to draw this son into the same kind of intensely personal relationship with him that he had with the property.  He wanted his son to be so connected to him that their every move would be in tandem.  He wanted his son to grow to the point that the vision for the future development and purpose for this property would become a part of his son’s life, become his son’s focus as well.  He wanted to pour every aspect of his life into his son and totally and completely reproduce himself in his son to that point that they became a team that moved almost as one entity and would be a thing of beauty to anyone watching from without.

But he was pretty smart and gave his son a choice:  let me tell you everything about this property that I have come to know, let me teach you the ins and outs as we develop our relationship with each other OR learn about this property on your own and don’t develop the intimate relationship with me.  In learning on your own you will discover the good and bad things that happen here, but if you don’t let me teach you it will much more difficult and dangerous.

The son heard these words, looked at the property and was delighted with the future and task laid out before him.  This was perfect!  He also realized there were two roads to travel, but he could only take one of them.  He could take the road of relationship and intimacy and tapping into the knowledge already gained by his Dad or he could take the road of going it on his own, learning the good and bad things that would or could happen both to him and to the property.

The choice at first was easy.  Of course he would listen to his Dad.  After all, his Dad came every day and talked and taught him what to do and how to do it.  His Dad openly shared his heart and wisdom about the details of and vision for the property.  And that look in his Dad’s eye of love for the property and love for his son irresistibly drew the son’s heart and attention.

But after a while the son wanted more.  He got bored, maybe, or things weren’t moving fast enough for him.  He had caught the vision for the future and wanted it now, not later.  NOW became more important than his Dad’s timetable.  He had to KNOW, for himself, everything that might happen so he could get on with it.  Worse, somehow he got the idea that his Dad was holding back, not telling him everything.  One day he found a different trail he had not seen before and he followed it.  He discovered that this led to that other road, that road of doing it on his own, of learning for himself what was right and wrong with the property and with his life.  He took that road. 

His Dad knew instantly there had been a change.  His son was not to be found when he came the next day to continue their life together.  When he did find him, his son averted his gaze and would no longer communicate openly.  The Dad’s heart sank for he knew that the vision of the glorious future together would not now happen.  This property could not tolerate the failed relationship.  So he set the son up on a different property where he had to do the work on his own and learn the good and bad things that could happen on his own, just as he so wanted to do.

Always, though, the Dad left bridges back to the road of intimate relationship.  The only requirement was that traveling across the bridge meant that the entire birth process had to be reexperienced.  Over the years and generations of progeny there was always this vision of the original property and the intimacy of relationship with the Great Grandfather.  A few would find a bridge and come back and tell about the bridge. Whole communities and organizations were built to tell each other the stories of the bridges and how to get there.  They would study and analyze and learn about the bridges and the roads to and from them.  They would study the stories about Great Grandfather and try to figure out what kind of person he was and what his ideas for the original properties might have been.  Some would get open and naked like the first son, thinking that would help them to know what it was like.  Always they encouraged each other to do good and not to do bad and studied how they could do better and worked at learning all the good things that could happen in this newer property.  But it was only the rare one that actually crossed the bridge and allowed the rebirthing to occur, actually developed the intimate relationship with Great Grandfather.  Most were content to simply gain knowledge of such because this need to learn for themselves was so deeply ingrained they could not get past it.  Somehow they could not understand that Great Grandfather was ALWAYS teaching and they were ALWAYS learning when on the other road but it was in context of relationship and not on their own.

Meanwhile, back on the original property, the Dad had another son.  This son was given the same choice but this time he made the choice in favor of intimate relationship and refused to learn on his own or demand control in the now.  He had some rough times and had to put up with some disappointments and even seeming rejection by his Dad, but he remained faithful to the choice and the relationship proved to be strong and intimate enough to bring him to Life.

Let’s choose Relationship, Rebirth and Life with its learning and growing, over Knowledge even of good things.

We did an exercise in Massage Therapy School where you sat in front of a fellow student and gazed deeply into each other’s eyes, just observing, tuned in.  You would then ask a question of the other and just listen, and watch.  You would then repeat the question, again only listening and gazing.  Finally you would repeat the question for the third time and again just listen and look into the eyes.  Upon completion, you would not comment on the other’s responses but only encourage them for allowing themselves to go deeply inside and sharing at that level.

Like many things in massage school and in the personal development world, I found that exercise challenging, frightening and yet very satisfying.

It was challenging because it was hard to sit and gaze into another’s “deepness” (the eyes are, truly, the windows to the soul) and not comment or judge or analyze (I like to do all those things, in case you haven’t figured that out about me).

It was frightening because I would make myself vulnerable, emotionally “naked”, possibly revealing thoughts, feelings, desires I had bottled up for years, not even sharing them or admitting them to myself.  And here I was, spilling them to a classmate “stranger”!

It was satisfying because this is exactly what we are on the planet to do and to be.  Father made us “naked and unashamed” to be totally and completely open with him, with ourselves and with each other, to share our deep thoughts and selves with each other in ways that would be healing and helpful for ourselves and each other.

Needless to say, the exercise brought significant insight and healing and a sense of accomplishment, but also a sense that getting this “naked” was good and healthy.

This idea of “nakedness” and healing is gaining momentum in our culture.

Recently Jay Leno interviewed Robin Williams about his latest movie, “Old Dogs,” and particularly about a scene where Mr. Williams gets nude.  He stated that the nudity was the best way to get the message across and just kind of happened when filming.  Unfortunately both he and Jay went on to make disparaging and comical remarks about nudity in general since our culture cannot handle nudity appropriately (just like I had difficulty getting “naked” with my thoughts and feelings in massage school).

Even more recently Conan O’Brien interviewed Deepak Chopra about his new book.  The whole interview was about Dr. Chopra’s ability to “read” the soul and mind of another, in this case Mr. O’Brien, and what he would recommend to bring healing.  The read on Mr. O’Brien was that he was egocentrical and of low self-esteem, needing to be pleasing to others.  Dr. Chopra’s remedy was for Mr. O’Brien to do his show naked, this removing the external need for approval and to find his approval within himself.  Again, the conversation soon equated “nude” with “sex”, a connection that our culture makes but need not since it is not necessarily connected.

[As an aside, "nude=sex" is like "snow=ski".  While skiing is done on snow, snow could also be the beauty of a mountain range in winter, sledding/sliding/snowboarding, a great way to make dessert, problems for cars without chains, the means to have a fun fight, the guts of a snowman, a ride in a sleigh, etc.  And skiing is also done on water and not just on snow.  We really need to grow up in our attitude about nudity

Back to the idea of getting open and honest with oneself, going deep within, and even perhaps getting physically nude to gain healing.  That exercise in massage school brought some healing to me.  It let me know that being open and honest, releasing old emotions and hurts, lancing an emotional “boil”, was a breath of fresh air.

The culture is beginning to figure out that taking physical clothes off can also be healing. 

There are accounts of sexually abused women who have extreme emotional issues regarding themselves and their bodies as a result, who, in a nurturing and nonsexual social nude environment, have found great healing when divesting themselves of their clothes.  It figuratively and literally allows them to regain the authority for themselves and the self esteem that was ripped from them.

Similarly, many men who have suffered with addictions to pornography and sex, when in a nurturing and nonsexual social nude environment in the company of women have found healing for their addiction.  Rather than objects of sex and control, women become real persons with real emotions and interact with these men with respect and honor.  The men, on the other hand, find themselves free to become real persons, honored and welcomed and not guilty sex perverts. 

Thought counterintuitive to our cultural training, the reality of these situations demands that we examine the possibility of offering afflicted ones, including ourselves, the option of getting spiritually, emotionally and even physically naked to help further their healing.  I have to wonder how much Tiger Woods could have found relief for his dis-ease and avoided his current socially unacceptable “nakedness”  if he had had the opportunity and encouragement to explore his deep self and needs in a healthy nude environment?

For years I have wanted to establish a residential center where people can come and find wholistic healing.  This vision has been posted on my (outdated) website, and would include food, diet instruction, assisting with and learning of gardening, supplements, counsel, massage and bodywork, and other medical helps as needed.  Now, with what I have experienced myself, and the acknowledgement of the healing power of getting truly and deeply open, it would include the encouragement to shed clothes as well as emotional and physical hurts, griefs and disappointments.

And why am I posting this, now, on my blog? Knowing that it is so countercultural and so counterintuitive? 

I honestly don’t know.  I guess it is part of my own growth as the Renegade Doc, part of my own healing, part of admitting my own passion to see people deeply and truly healed as they dare to look deeply within themselves and find the freedom and beauty and potential and healing that lies there, waiting to be brought forth.

Blessings,

Dr Jon
