Lesson 8: Allow Now

I'm going to close this module with a quick lesson about the Now Moment. 

When we're holding attention on something and slip into allow mode, then we're always in the present. Allowing is a way of being right here, right now, where all is well.

The ethics of this are something I feel quite passionate about. The now moment is all there is. The future, the past, they're all occurring right now, though we're not in the habit of perceiving things that way. This introduces dire conundrums in medicine. 

When doctors forecast the future for their patients, they are inherently telling untruths. This can amount to putting grave burdens on vulnerable people. It's called Medical Hexing and it's exceedingly common.

But as a practitioner, what else are you supposed to do? Your patients come to you for answers. So the common practice today is to try to suss out a mean, a probable outcome based on a scientific collection of past cases. But this never addresses the individual person in front of you in a unique time space with historic, biological, and personality-based particulars. 

The only way you respond ethically to a client is to speak from the now-moment. That involves learning to turn on your right brain faculties,  perceive what's true right now, and speak from there. 

Of course, this has the advantage of also attuning you to the vast field of information that's surrounding you and of which you and your patients are a part. I say that to address the problem that people will perceive with this methodology, which is that the only way you can know things is to do science to ascertain it. There's actually much more information available from the now moment than you can find in science, which is always only ever ascertaining what happened in the past. 

So that's a plug for the ethics of attending + allowing. In the next module, we're going to look more deeply at Processing. Join me.
