The Guidelines

 All that said – here are the things that I have found that have made the greatest sense to me in working intuitively. I do not imagine this a complete list by any measure, as I find new ways all the time that help me, so I anticipate that improvements in my intuition will continue to occur right up to my graduation from this level, but it is as complete a list as I could come up with for now. Perhaps at the 50th Anniversary of NET there will be a Guidelines II from me, but don’t hold your breath, though I’ll probably have some other papers to give instead.

Ego

I wanted to do this one first because it is so short.

Ego is counterproductive to intuition. That is all you  really have to know. The greater the ego, the less the intuitive accuracy. That is simple, is it not? Put another way – Fat head, no intuition. In most cases these practitioners will think they are the greatest gift to the patient since disposable diapers, and usually they will be full of the same material. You can usually spot these practitioners because their ego arrives five to ten minutes before they do. They are a danger to patients and should be avoided at all costs &/or quietly taken out and put to sleep.

Being Centered

I never do any work with someone without centering myself first. I call myself forward into the Light of the Universe, asking for assistance and guidance for the highest good of all concerned (you can do whatever works for you). This allows me to anchor myself firmly so that regardless of what happens, I cannot be moved off my personal foundation. This also opens me up to the other levels of consciousness so more of me is available. All the levels of consciousness can then line up and are present – right now – for the session.  Centering anchors me in Present Time Consciousness (see below). This allows for more options and directions from which information can flow during the session. Centering offers an opportunity for the mystical (that which is a mystery) and the metaphysical (the other than physical) to be a part of the session. If we accept that the Zero Point Field is the source of all information, then it only makes sense to be as available as possible to receive what it has to offer from all the levels possible. Centering myself allows for this.  
  

Intention

Intention means to have a preconceived notion or idea about what you want to do. Setting an intention is to have a plan of how you want proceed. It is a very powerful tool in your intuition arsenal. From Dorland’s Medical Dictionary (25th Ed.) intention is, a manner of healing. Without it nothing can be accomplished in an organized manner. With it you can move mountains, open hearts, and manifest destinies.

Setting an intention, after centering yourself, can be extremely powerful in aligning your consciousness, improving your intuitive ability and your resourcefulness, because the centering opens your levels of consciousness – expanding your inner levels and maximizing the effect of your stated intention (your manner of healing) throughout all your inner levels, strengthening the overall work and result. 

Neutrality

Neutrality is an important key. Neutrality allows empathy to raise the vibration of the session. Empathy – according to Dorland’s – the recognition of the entering into the feelings of another person – is a powerful tool for us to have at our disposal, as opposed to Sympathy – which is – again from Dorland’s – is the influence exerted by one individual upon another, or received from another and the effects thus produced …(as) in the transfer of hysterical symptoms.” [Emphasis added]. Isn’t that just what you want to have happen in a session – hysterical symptoms? Ego people do sympathy, which means they usually do NET to people, not with them. See why they should be taken out &/or put to . . . well, you get the idea.

Being neutral can be tough, especially when we want to help someone so much we will do almost anything to be of service. That is the warning we are entering into sympathy – we will do anything to help them, i.e., take whatever time it takes at the expense of another’s appointment time, reduce or give the visit free – “because this is so important for you” – when really it’s our own ego that is so insecure we will sell the farm to be sure the patient knows how great we are and how much we care – oh, how much we really care. Spare me – Are you the doctor, doctor? Act like it.

Neutrality requires a tough stand in empathy. We must be ruthless and impeccable in our honesty and integrity. As Scott Walker says, we must be the patient’s champion. We can go into the patient’s feelings, but we must be very sure none of their emotional do-do sticks to us. We cannot be the patient’s champion if we too, are sucked down into their emotional whirlpool. Our emotions cannot enter into the fray. We need to have what Carl Rogers said was, a feeling of unconditional positive regard for the patient – or what we would call today, a feeling of unconditional loving.  Unconditional Loving serves as our compass to guide us and Neutrality is our rudder to steer, both us and the patient, a healing course home so that both of us can return safely to the shores of reality regardless of the emotional maelstrom of the patient.

I have found that by observing myself with the patient, almost as if I were a third person in the session – objectively just watching it – gives me this neutrality. Just observing the scene you are in with the patient leads to neutrality. Step back – just observe the two of you together. Sense the Big Picture of what is happening. Since all is perfect anyway, it really does not matter what happens in this session. When you have that sense and then you apply your NET skills – miracles can happen – because you have now gotten out of your own way. 

Awe, Wonderment, Gratitude and Innocence

Be in awe of the patient’s process. I cannot say how many patients I have stood in awe over, after hearing their story. I find it amazing they are still alive after what has happened to them. Awe allows for a deep appreciation of another person. It opens the door for the wonderment of being in the presence of another soul and the actuality of their existence – the strength and commitment they demonstrate to their process – to life itself. I never cease to marvel at the human’s ability to keep on keeping on through God knows what. Each person with their own stuff, their own life lessons, their challenges, their Karma or whatever else you want to call it. And they show up to face it and keep showing up – just like you and I do – day in and day out – doing life to the best of their ability – breathing in and breathing out until they graduate from this place and breath is no longer necessary.

Awe and wonderment of what I see in that person takes me into gratitude and innocence, that place Rumi referred to when he said, out beyond ideas of rightdoing and wrongdoing there is a field. I will meet you there. When you can go to that place, that heartfelt existence of where Souls mingle, innocence overcomes you. Being so centered opens the Universe to you. It is a place of no time, a place of right now and a place of forever was and ever will be – all at once. You stand in great strength knowing you are safe, standing there in complete Knowing (as opposed to knowing with a small k as in, I am knowing this because I read it somewhere):  Knowing, truth, beauty and joy as absolutes and with infinite compassion for all. This is not doing, nor is it simply being. Rather, this is the state of the I-Thou relationship that Maslow referred to in his writings. Such is one’s awareness after the application of awe, wonderment, gratitude and innocence with the patient.

Present Time Consciousness (PTC)

Ram Dass spoke of being here now, as does the popular Eckhart Tolle in The Power of Now.   The Buddhists speak of mindfulness. Jimmy Parker and Victor Frank spoke of Present Time Consciousness (PTC). PTC is that state of right now – not yesterday, nor tomorrow, but right NOW – when everything that ever was or will be – is. When you are in a state of PTC with the patient, there is a limbic connection with them that allows for magic to happen, for you are standing right on the ZPF beach, in the Quantum waves that are breaking into reality. You focus on nothing and yet are aware of everything. Soft focus – easy does it – alert and aware.

Centering yourself (see above) is very helpful in establishing PTC. You are not worried about the check book, the kids, how many new patients we have on the books – none of that! It’s just you and the patient as they are. There is a subtle immenseness to this state, when you are in the Zero Point Field. It is as if you are the smallest droplet of water in the largest ocean that is the Universe, and you are aware of every aspect of it. From here the application of NET Protocol takes on a different aspect. From here you and the patient have access to all levels of consciousness, to the All There Is, and everything is present to assist. PTC allows you and the patient to do your best – maximum efficiency with minimum effort, as the Founder of Judo, Jigoro Kano would say.

On Intuition Part 2 of 4 By Dr. Michael Kudlas

The Zero Point Field

       Scientifically speaking, quantum physicists have also discovered a field of infinite possibilities:  the Zero Point Zone.  This is the field from which possibilities can be actualized.   —  As Lynn McTaggart notes in The Field,  in today’s arena of consciousness research, with its many theories of how we perceive reality, one that appears to have received general acceptance is Karl Pribram’s holographic model, according to which “reality” is actually something we create in our minds.  Based upon mathematical precision—and confirmed by 700 experiments undertaken by biologist Paul Pietsch, who actually sought to discredit Pribram’s theory—Pribram’s holographic model of reality claims that “we don’t see objects per se, but only their quantum information and out of that we construct our image of the world”(McTaggart).  That is, we construct the three-dimensional reality we think we merely perceive.  This concept, in fact, was a foundational principle of quantum physics when it first emerged nearly a century ago!

       So, how do we do that?  Pribram not only states that the brain interprets reality holographically but also, and more importantly, he shows that quantum waves have the ability to store enormous amounts of information in totality and in a three dimensional form from which the brain, through a series of mathematically predicted cycles, can read this information and create the world as we know it.  So in effect, seeing the world is really a matter of transforming it from the spaceless and timeless wave forms of the quantum field into a discrete space/time reality we all generally accept as the world.   In so doing, we have tuned into the Zero Point Field (McTaggart), the field of infinite possibilities from which we construct our world and then perceive it to be what we have constructed. 

      Crucial to us as NET practitioners is the quantum concept that the reality we all construct includes the Self.  Equally crucial is the notion of the Zero Point Field as the arena of consciousness.  Well-designed experiments undertaken by some “frontier scientists,” as McTaggart calls them, “suggested that consciousness is a substance outside the confines of our bodies—a highly ordered energy with the capacity to change physical matter”—including cells, “and indeed, entire multi-celled organisms like human beings” (The Intention Experiment, p. xi).

     Thus it is in this Zero Point Field, or “zone,” that our consciousness can meet that of our clients, and do our work. 

      According to quantum physics, sprinkled with a dose of logic, we can never create an “accurate” reality, because there is no viewpoint from which we can determine what is or isn’t accurate.  As NET practitioners, though, we can see whether our client’s sense of Self is quite functional, thank you, or not so functional.

     Clearly, being disoriented within the Field, as by an NEC, can seriously undermine and disrupt one’s ability to individually interpret reality, including the reality each of us calls the Self. Since it has been clinically proven that NEC’s can disrupt our perception of reality, being able to assist the patient to the greatest degree possible within the ZPF would allow for the greatest opportunity for an efficient NEC correction. So, for the practitioner to understand the ZPF better makes it easier for him in helping the patient. 

       If neuro-emotional complexes can disrupt our ability to decode the interference patterns of the universal field of information to such a degree as to cause resultant physical, emotional, mental or unconscious trauma, then having a clinically practical, reproducible and reliable technique that eliminates such a distortion lens of dis-ease seems to me, to be enormously beneficial to mankind. Look at this as sort of a nonviolent clinical dope-slap; a way of shocking (in a loving way) a patient back to reality – a reality that is a more accurate interpretation of their world. NET may literally re-sort the brain’s ability to decode the interference patterns of the Zero Point Field. Pretty cool, huh?

      For example, it has been my clinical experience that people lose their place in reality sometimes, just like one might lose one’s place in a city. Things look familiar, but just aren’t quite right and the person does not know where to turn. In over 80% of the time, the main distortion that occurs is one with time. In terms of the patients’ reality they really don’t know what time it is. That is to say, their brain is interpreting, operating in, and creating a present reality, based on decoded interference patterns, on one level, but that resultant reality is not in sync with the time reference they are creating on another. As a result, they are in sort of a time warp – usually it’s from the past to the present that leads to noncongruence. The remaining 20% of the time, one of the other referencing locators – who, what, where, etc. – will allow us to expose the noncongruence. They are just off in relation to who, what, why, where, how or when. We have all experienced this noncongruent phenomenon, because each of us expresses it the same way – as an NEC. Yes – Rod Serling is our friend and we all are – or have been – in the Twilight Zone.

Levels of Consciousness

      In my Eagles 1998 paper, On Working Before Conception, Some Precautions, and again in my 2002 paper, Self-Forgiveness – A Powerful Application of Loving to a Place that Hurts, I discussed various levels of consciousness (LOC) that are a part of everyone’s reality. These LOC – physical, imaginative, emotional, mental, unconscious, and energetic – all are neurologically  connected and therefore susceptible to an NEC. If we are aware of these levels, which can be accessed in the Zero Point Field, we are able to pinpoint the NEC to a greater degree and be more accurate with our intuitive applications. B. J. Palmer said, Chiropractic is specific or it is nothing, and he was right. The more specific we can be within the ZPF concerning an NEC, the more accurate and efficient we can be in helping the patient release it. The following descriptions of the LOC are verbatim from my 1998 Eagles paper, Levels of Consciousness & Working Before Conception.

The Physical Level

      The physical level deals with this world and the physical universe. It is the densest level you will work with energetically. Various types of energy work are performed here. Our NET entry level is here, as are the adjustments we make. All other levels have dominion over the physical.

The Imaginative or Astral

      The astral level is the level of imagination. It is sometimes referred to as the creative visualization level. How wild is our imagination? That is what is here! It has control over the physical level.  

The Emotional Level

      This is the level of the emotions. Most of our Karma or Life’s lessons are seeded here. You know the power of the emotions. Well, that is the power of this level. It supplies the energy for the physical action of our mental thoughts. It has control over the levels below it. Part of the Ego arises out of this level.

The Mental Level

      The remainder of the Ego comes from this level. It is the level of the mind and our thoughts. Thoughts which arise here and are acted upon pick up emotional energy on the way down to the physical, so they can be made manifest in the world as physical reality. Action follows thought.

The Unconscious Level

      This is the level of our non-conscious self. Everything that has happened to us is stored here symbolically, and connected to the collective unconscious of mankind. Working on this level can make you sleepy or tired.

Spirit – Self – God

      This level can be whatever you want it to be. It is the least dense of all the levels and the most rarified. It is sometimes called the Soul level or the first positive level of Spirit, with all the levels below it negative. Negative, not as bad or evil, but rather as poles on a magnet are positive and negative – one balancing the other. 

      These levels are quite straight forward and can be easily entered upon when one is aware of their existence. They will usually show an NEC when the other forms of entry are negative. They basically provide another door with which we can access the patient’s consciousness for NECs. (Eagles, 1998 p.53-54)

ON INTUITION – SOME GUIDELINES

How Do You Know That You Really Know When You Really Know – You Know?

By

Dr. Michael J. Kudlas

      Intuition is about gathering information. With the advent of computers, our ability to access and manipulate information has accelerated with each passing day. Gathering information has been a key to successful work in all areas of endeavor. It often appears that whoever has gathered the most information has the greatest flexibility and the most opportunities. Especially in our work, as healthcare practitioners, the ability to access, gather and manipulate information for and about our patients and with their help enables us to assist them as never before. And as NET practitioners, our ability to utilize information gathered from different levels of the patient’s consciousness further enhances our ability to help them. We gather information in a way different from the standard research methods most people are aware of, so to some it appears strange, odd, weird or just not right. 

      The important thing is the information – how do we get it? – how accurate is it? and how do we know it’s accurate?

      We can use the NET protocol to fill in the data, but it is the data itself that really determines the success for the patient. No information – no data – no NEC processed and corrected.  Our NET protocol assists us in gathering information by the suppositions we pose and how the patient responds, but what about that other process that happens – that Gestalt that occurs when, instead of going from A to B, we go from A to G without processing all the other information in between? What happened to B,C,D,E, and F? In this process, this intuitive leap, nothing is lost, and maybe even greater understanding occurs simultaneously. Such intuitive leaps have probably occurred to anyone actively practicing NET for any length of time, and for those of us who practice NET intent on becoming the best we possibly can, we can begin to rely on our ability to utilize information and data from this intuitive process as it begins to occur more routinely.

      Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines intuition as “a quick and ready insight, immediate apprehension or cognition, knowledge or conviction gained by intuition,” or the one I like, “the power or faculty of attaining to direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference.” “Without rational thought or inference” – oh, oh. That sounds unscientific, some kind of woo woo New Age kind of stuff. Better not go there! Danger, Will Robinson, Danger! Beware! — So golly, gee, do we dare go there?  My answer is yes:  we not only dare go there, we have to, to best serve our patients.

      For me, intuition is merely gathering information directly from the source of all information, and there are ways to do that, ways that can be taught, practiced, and improved upon. The rest of this paper is about those things that I have learned about using the intuitive process and how to know, that I really know, when I really do know – you know?

The Field of Information.

      It may seem odd to some, but information has to come from someplace. We last century folks were used to looking it up in books, using card files in the library, and now we use the computer and the “Great Library of Cyber Space” – Google – the source of the All.

      But actually throughout time there has always been a reference to a “source” of some kind. Even today, depending upon the area of study, this trend continues. If we are speaking in religious terms, we speak of God and His Omnipotence, the all-seeing Eye, etc. If we think about the field of psychology, Jung spoke about the “collective unconscious.” If we talk philosophy, Deepak Chopra speaks of, “the Field of Infinite Possibilities.” D.D. and B.J. Palmer referred to it as Universal Intelligence, As far back as the 13th century Rumi, the great mystic poet said,

      â€Out beyond the ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing there is a field

      I’ll meet you there

      When the soul lies down in that

      Grass

      The world is too full to talk about.

      Ideas, language, even the phrase

      Each other

      Doesn’t make any sense.”

      If we speak scientific lexicon, Heisenberg, developer of the Uncertainty Principle in physics and protégé to Einstein said, “Every tool carries with it the spirit by which it has been created. Since the measuring device has been constructed by the observer, we must remember that what we observe is not nature itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning (Physics and Philosophy). I find it very interesting when a physicist speaks of “spirit” in his writings.

      So, what if there is something or somewhere other than the great Google, Wikipedia, or the library where information can be garnered? Remember Friedrich August Kekule, who discovered the shape of the benzene ring? The shape came to him in a dream of a snake seizing its own tail (known as Ouroboros in many ancient cultures). Intuition has been with us in some form since we have been human – even if we claim to be a rational scientist or mechanistic researcher we cannot escape that information can come to us from a power or faculty… attaining to direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference.” Today, much research and documentation has been made scientifically about the Zero Point Field as a source of all information, (in the pre-Einstein times it was referred to as the Ether). In this paper we will refer to the Zero Point Field (ZPF). I wonder – is this where the Great Google goes for its answers? 

Part 2 will be posted on September 24th…
