"NEVER deny a diagnosis, but ' do' deny the negative verdict that might go with it."

Physicians have no right to do so, but many try to take charge of a patient's life, as well as the technical details of treatment...much like a grown-up dominating a child.  The sad truth is that many of us let them!

This past Thursday at 2:45 PM, I showed up for my appointment (along with my wife, Dawn), underwent some additional testing, and then waited (forever) in the room for the Oncologist to come.

                    DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES ?

I know I'm suppose to write on Memorial Day, being a Veteran  and all that, as I have over the years...but...as of right now, I don't feel like it , OK ?

Do you believe in Miracles ? Parameters are interesting; almost as interesting as how people keep score in life ! (But we'll deal with "Score Keeping" down the road, if time allows, as stupid as that is to engage in !

     I had lunch with a  Wife seeking to become a Chi Gung Student, a Student and his Brother this past Friday afternoon.

Michele, asked me why people who once learned Chi Gung, and develop a practice, simply stop practicing. I thought on this over the weekend, but then I remembered that Energy Arts had allowed me to send out this very Answer from Master BK Frantzis way back in 2005; and since I certainly could not better the following answer, I felt it would be a true service to once again expose us all to it once again. I also believe that many in our Energy Arts Family are new, they would and could glean much from this particular Blog. 

 The following is an article written by B K Frantzis, Ph.D,  initially printed in the March 2005 Energy Arts Newsletter ; and used by permission from Energy Arts, Inc.

  One of my Certified Teachers asked me why students stop practicing Chi Gung or Tai Chi Chuan.   THE TAOIST PERSPECTIVE: Enlightenment is Not Easy.  The Taoist perspective is that people are either on the road towards life or one the road towards death.   People move towards destructive energies to pay off negative karma. They have inner compulsions, based on natural inclinations and habits that will lead them to making choices that are not in their best interest. These people have karmic propensities that lead them more toward the road of death. This is one underlying reason why people stop practicing.       

I was at the doctor's again today.  Got more blood work and some specialty tests.  We'll see...maybe and may I say "OUCH"...not for the needles, but for the TAPE, since I'm allergic to it!  While waiting for my turn, I picked up a copy of TIME Magazine  with 100 faces on the cover.  HHHMMMMM...100 "most influential people of the year".  Many on the Times list I did not know, but many do great work.   And regarding many on the list, I could hardly believe my eyes!
