The PANE CLINIC

This is NOT the PAIN CLINIC

That We’re Used To;

Nevertheless, It Is The PANE CLINIC

It’s Called THAT to Bring up

The Image of Windows…

The Cleaner It Is, The Clearer It Is!

Sometimes, When Spotless,

It Is Hard To Tell

There is a Window, There!

We Liken This To The MIND

When It Is Clean, and Clear

And as Spotless as can be

When Things Are Seen That Way,

Resistance For The Concept...Is Low

Pain Is Hard To Find!

We Can, Actually, Say

When The Pane Is Clean + Clear

The Pain Is NOT Found!

The PANE CLINIC Has Done It’s Job!

In ALL Actuality

The PANE CLINIC RESIDES

In The THIRD EYE…Itself!

OUCH! A Smudge -

COMPASSIONATE LISTENING MODEL

Compassionate Listening Model

Compassionate Listening helps us to awaken to what the mystics from all of the great faiths have known for centuries: that cultivating the wisdom of the heart is the key to real peace from the inside out. The intention of Compassionate Listening is to access our deepest wisdom to transform separation and conflict into an opportunity for connection, healing and peace.

Compassionate Listening is

​

• A personal practice – to cultivate inner strength, self awareness, self regulation and wisdom
• A skill set – to enhance interpersonal relations and navigate challenging conversation
• A process – to bring individuals or groups together to bridge their differences and transform conflict
• A healing gift – to offer a compassionate listening session to a person who feels marginalized or in pain

Compassionate Listening was conceived by Gene Knudsen Hoffman (1919 - 2010), international peacemaker, founder of the US/USSR Reconciliation program for the Fellowship of Reconciliation, and student of Vietnamese Buddhist Monk, Thich Nhat Hanh. The concepts were further developed by Leah Green, Carol Hwoschinsky, and a group of dedicated individuals who are now facilitators of the work.

As Gene originally conceived it, Compassionate Listening requires non-judgmental listening and deepening, non-adversarial questions. Listeners seek the truth of the person speaking, seeing through ‘masks of hostility and fear to the sacredness of the individual.’ Listeners accept what others say as their perceptions, and validate the right to their own perceptions. In this way, listeners seek to humanize the ‘other’. Compassionate Listening can cut through barriers of defense and mistrust, enabling both those listened to and those listening to hear themselves in new light, to change their opinions, and to make more informed decisions. Through this process, fear can be reduced, and participants will be better equipped to discern how to proceed with effective action. 

We honor Gene as the originator of Compassionate Listening and invite you to learn more about her in

HEARING WITH COMPASSION

COMPASSION + KINDNESS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!

WILL THE ''REAL'' F - word... PLEASE, STAND-UP!

Will The ''REAL''

F-word...Please, Stand Up.

CLICK TO ENLARGE

---From the standpoint of behaviors, it makes sense that I would choose FRUSTRATION as my F-word of choice. I think I have made a case for it, and since we ALL seem to be flirting with being frustrated, it seems a viable choice.

---We, also, have FASCISM, to be part of the mix. If we take it broadly, we can define it as imposing our will on others. My way or the highway, comes to mind. The dictator, itself, could be the idea that things have to be done in a certain way...with some kind of violent repercussion, for those who don't cut it.

---The Catholic religion was taught that way to me...with Hell always hanging in the balance. I could ''earn,'' an eternity in Hell, for the slightest infraction. It was ALL so unreasonable. Fascism fits in here, somewhere. The misunderstanding of Love, has made God, Jesus and the Pope out to be dictators...with NO room for development. [Some of the popes, actually, acted the part, and greatly promoted the idea that God and Jesus were dictators, first. They never actually said that God, etc., were dictators, they just portrayed, taught and, I would say, believed this, themselves.] That is what happens to those who don't really understand LOVE. Everything tends to be FEAR BASED. That is when ALL the rules + policies on how to act...come out.

---I, myself, do not see life this way. I had to break my ties with the church to find out who I am...and to see what Jesus, et. al., were talking about, throughout the ages. I found that if one truly finds what LOVE is, himself, then he/she finds that many other interpretations are NOT necessary. BE LOVING, KIND and COMPASSIONATE. It is still the finest thing around.
---It, truly, then is NOT so complicated. In this way we can see that the way Catholicism was taught to me makes it to be another Fascism...and makes Fascism another F-word, I have had to deal with. The dictatorship of thought that I had to deal with, has created much of my FRUSTRATION. Eliminating one has eliminated the other. Take Care.

He sings with the Ace of Cups, a women's group from the sixties who were quite popular locally.

HUMAN NEEDs Not Met!

HUMAN NEEDs Being Met!

CHARTER OF COMPASSION

---If we build a bridge, a building or a structure with shoddy materials and workmanship, eventually, it will come crashing down around itself. If anything is built without the proper foundation to withstand ALL that life will hurl at him or her...we will find ourselves in the same boat. Having our Food, Clothing and Shelter needs met adequately are important.  But, many folks stop at this point. I don’t think most folks realize the importance of being appreciated, being valued, loved, supported, cared for, being kind, etc. Without these BASIC HUMAN NEEDs being met, their lives are built with the same shoddy materials that will make lives (themselves) fall apart, eventually. These HUMAN NEEDs are the building blocks of human life. And, along with our food, clothing and shelter needs being met, are very, very necessary.

CLICK THOUGHTOON!

---To quote JK Rowling, the author of the ‘’Harry Potter Series,’’ rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.’’ Before writing the Harry Potter Books, she wasn’t doing the kinds of things that helped get her total needs met. That’s the boat that many of us are in. Many folks don’t realize that a life without the key elements of being valued, being appreciated, being supported, etc...are like building a structure or a bridge with shoddy material and/or workmanship that won’t be able to withstand the weight and endure all the things the structure itself will go through during its’ existence.  Really, it can’t do anything, BUT come crashing down around itself. A skyscraper built on sand, bridge abutments built in quicksand...will yield the same results.

---After one gets his food, clothing and shelter needs met, the recipe of life has a healthy portion of the ingredients of love, support, being valued, being appreciated and being kind in it. There is NO scrimping on the materials (ingredients or building blocks) necessary to create a good, solid individual able to withstand all that life throws at him or her. Any scrimping at any time will jeopardize the project AND will hasten the whole thing to fall apart. Each time he/she interacts with love, being valued and being appreciated, in other words – All the Right Stuff, that ‘Right Stuff’ includes ALL the construction equipment, too. The foundation ITSELF is strengthened and becomes more solid and as strong as it needs to be. Everything works better that way. 

---Herein lies the rub - If these needs are not met...and met convincingly, then we are usually faced with an individual who is seeking to get these needs met. And, those things he gets himself addicted to as a substitute to having these human needs being met and helps him to NOT face himself, are sitting right-around-the-corner. We DON’T want to go down that road, again. We make sure we learn to accurately identify our real needs more clearly AND we now know how to get our needs met on a regular basis. We are ready to upgrade our lives in ways that benefit all we do and we find that we are very glad that we did. Be Well.

WHAT IS MEANT?

''We ALL Love One Another; We're Just Working Out The Details''

CLICK THOUGHTOON!

---What do I mean when I say this? As a matter of fact I tell folks that this is my personal philosophy. It seems that it isn't as obvious to others as I thought.

---We must break it down a bit, first. We ALL love one another. That in itself seems ludicrous. I can give a list of people that I don't love...or CAN I? Let's go into this slowly. People usually give me a quick list of different world leaders who were the cause of much suffering, death + destruction. How can I possibly love them. They can be outraged at me for even suggesting that.

---I have to break it down a bit further. LOVE is treated as a FACT; NOT a FEELING! LOVE exists whether we feel it or not. Whether anyone feels it or not. LOVE is always present...potentially. To test this, be truly loving and kind in a situation and watch people respond to that. Or, when there is a cut or broken bone and it's allowed to heal after being set properly, it will. Doesn't the way we feel about how folks generally BEHAVE govern how we feel about the people themselves. We'd feel differently if instead of doing things that promote suffering, death and destruction...people fed all the folks that are hungry AND helped people get things they need while footing the bill in most cases. If folks behaved in a way that spread kindness and happiness, we would think very differently about things.  Well, that really is potentially there all-the-time! We just have to act on it.

---Unfortunately, most people BEHAVE in a way that reflects their ATTITUDE and hence, their VALUES - which then tend toward being self-oriented and greedy. People who act this way tend to be fearful of NOT having enough for themselves - hence are self-oriented and greedy. If they were able to see beyond their fears, they would see that having values of being kind to one another and brother + sister helping each other, because we are all in this together...gets more done and hence provides enough for all. Those crying out, ''what about me?'' haven't learned to be team players...yet! BUT, THEY CAN!

---A big problem that I see is this; folks for the most part are waiting to be loved and are not loving. They may think that they are, but self-concern and greed with saving face, runs the show. They are, usually, busy TRYING to get what they think their needs + preferences are, met. But, their method really is, usually self-concern and greed. This is ALL based on FEAR!

PEOPLE TEND TO USE A BACKWARDS APPROACH (THAT DOESN'T WORK):

---Because of this backwards approach (if you will,) folks end up waiting to be loved instead of being loving. And, when they do something loving or kind, they have some type of self-concern tied to it. I see this as being the real problem...but, that is, then, hence its solution.

---We must be TRULY loving for this process to work. If we wait around to be loved, FIRST and are NOT being loving – we then have the process backwards. If we wait to feel love first, we just MAY wait forever (a long, long time.) You will wait as long as it takes for you to learn that it works the other way. AND...THAT IS WHAT MOST OF US ARE DOING!

CLICK THOUGHTOON!

---''To FEEL LOVE, YOU MUST BE LOVING.'' The other way doesn't work. It is like waiting to be perfect before you act. It is one thing to get your act together, but waiting to be perfect FIRST will not work. Too many semantics and interpretations to concern yourself with before you can declare that that has indeed happened AND you are now perfect. (Ask your mother, wife or sister to weigh-in on the subject...if you are getting too full of yourself.) Husbands, in general, if smart...won't answer that or just will not truthfully know what you're talking about.

---The second half of that statement - working out the details...comes into play in the fact that many, many have still got it BACKWARDs and COMPLAIN  so much and so loudly and wonder why it doesn't work? Some folks have a lot invested in its being the other (wrong) way AND they belligerently insist that it does indeed work the other (wrong) way...even when they may NOT realize what it is that they are really doing. 

CLICK THOUGHTOON!

---Folks go to war over the fact that they have this backwards...instead of simply realizing that they must love first. Many relationships go sour, because of faulty logic. A lot of time is spent on trying to see eye-to-eye before love is even considered. Then the next thing you know it becomes an eye-for-an-eye! That, once again is CONDITIONAL LOVE and NOT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Instead of being loving...you love only those that see things as you do. The DETAILS are KILLING US in this way.

CLICK THOUGHTOON!

Love has to be treated as a FACT...NOT JUST A FEELING. Act accordingly. 

Be Well.

The saying now changes to:
''We ALL Love One Another; we are simply + gently working out the details''

PSYCHOLOGY 101 - HUMAN NEEDs

PSYCHOLOGY - HUMAN NEEDs

1.     HUMAN NEEDs (MASLOW HIERARCHY of NEEDs) – Being Appreciated, Being Accepted, Being Understood, Being Loved, Being Valued, Being Treated Kindly, Being Supported, Being Cared For, etc. These are the very needs we ALL have...including us.

2.     WEST SIDE STORY (Officer Krupke) – Deprived and Depraved. If one is DEPRIVED of his needs being met…he acts DEPRAVED (negative in some way.) Argumentative to Violent. Nip it in the bud.

3.     The more deprived that one is in getting his/her HUMAN NEEDs met, the more depraved (negative) he/she will act.

4.     The less deprived that one is in getting his/her HUMAN NEEDs met, the less depraved (negative) he/she will act.

5.     All needs that someone may have can be traced back (root-cause) to his need for love and understanding, etc. ‘’Pay ATTENTION to me. Could be his/her need to be loved and accepted.’’

OCCUPY THYSELF - OCCUPY The SELF

Occupy Thyself

(Most of this article was written in 2011.)

CLICK THOUGHTOON!

---A natural offshoot of the Occupy movement seems to eventually be that we learn to occupy the self. Through the occupy movement as it now stands, we see a movement toward the occupiers themselves becoming more aware of their own needs and preferences. Each citizen is discovering who he is…and THAT is very valuable.

---Though there will be some who only scratch the surface of who they really are…and STOP! There will be others who will glimpse what is contained within. They will find the greatness that is in there…and be changed by it all.

What is GLIMPSED?

GLIMPSED – To be UNDERSTOOD in the twinkling of an eye.

---We understand that WELLNESS is a fact that there exists an energy that we ALL have access to…THAT MAKES US WELL.  Those who have the eyes and ears to see it…they will understand that this IS the LIFE Force or LOVE Energy, The CHI, The PRANA, The VIRIDITAS…that we speak of. Within everyone exists a situation that heals mind, body and/or spirit. When we have a wound or cut –  we know that it will heal – that's ALL we really need to know. Everyone has access to it, because - WELLNESS is within us ALL.

---The reason we are NOT immediately healed all-the-time is because we don't allow the healing to take place. We interfere with the healing from happening. Many times we are NOT even aware of what we are suppose to allow. Many times we are not even aware that there is a healing going on. There is much confusion (in American Society as to how to act in these situations.) We unwittingly interfere with it. It is the same as picking at a cut not knowing we shouldn't do this, and in the process, NOT allowing it to heal. We interfere with it being healed. But, if we learned to allow it to happen in every case we would have a completely different quality of life. AND - the kicker is - One finds that he interferes much, more often than he is aware.

I HOPE THAT THIS MAKE SENSE TO YOU AS THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!

They will realize that they have stumbled upon their true home and as quick as you know…they will move in.

---They will recognize that all is contained within and it is preferable to stay there. You are able to negotiate a way to bring your home with you wherever you go. You can live your life from an optimal spot and real living has transformed itself as being your life. CONGRATULATIONs!

SAVING THE WORLD IN TWENTY MINUTES

Saving the World in Twenty Minutes

I think all of us are hitting rock bottom in this whole affair—
I mean the bullying of Mother Nature, of course.
It was even on TV as I recall. You can’t fool
Mother Nature, but, of course, that didn’t stop us.
Nature has no rewards or punishments, just consequences.
What’s going on now is causing many of us to become very serious.

It’s difficult to be as frivolous as we once were.
These times don’t call for it.
I still maintain that being kinder to each other
and kind to the earth itself will turn it around completely.
Don’t deprive anyone of kindness.
We all need it. We really don’t know what others have gone through.
I know I said in 20 minutes,
but eight letters will do: k-i-n-d-n-e-s-s.
