+ cheif of pineal gland function
We use a test kit that contains 75 of the Core Emotions that are typically engaged when we start to script a narrative of resistance, victimization, or a self-critique of damaged goods. An early recruit and hire into the Oval Office is a faculty or mechanism that is adept at editing and sequestering the pineal gland. This is relevant in that the pineal can be seen, metaphorically, as a pie with multiple pieces that would make up its wholeness. The pieces are the EMOTIONS that should constitute the entire profile of feelings that are available to us. Mal-adaptation provides short-run relief at the expense of long-term dis-association and biasing. The head of this department can cut out the pieces of the pie that are unpleasant, which might assist in getting us through the day, but also sets up the "La La Land" effect, similar to the expression one exudes when one has resorted to anti-depressant pharmacology. When this is set in motion, there is a price tag, with the pineal gland now compromised by the excision of emotion(s), the other pineal functions will also take a hit. INSOMNIA and HORMONAL ISSUES are close at hand, as is a reduction of the body’s ability to maintain strong deterrent to chronic illness like cancer, alzheimer’s disease, etc.
+ Head of HEAD/HEART RATIO DEPARTMENT
I had the privilege of learning a body of work known as Sonar Cardiography. It involves a protocol for assessing kinesiologically, the heart sounds and a set of inferences that can be made as to just what is going on between a power struggle between the HEAD and HEART. Ideally, in a one cook kitchen, or an Oval Office with no bias from lobbyists, the consciousness resides predominantly in the heart where there are massive resources available for our intuitive and inner guidance mechanisms. Our inner scan should come from here as should our communication and empathy systems. The head should be a loyal soldier and be involved in implementing the insights generated by the heart. (If this has come up for you when we do a mal-adaptation scan, I encourage you to read "The Heart’s Code" by Paulsen). When we take on this coping strategy and relocate from heart to head, we get a short-term repreive from our inner narrative, but pay a large price for the bandaid. The qualities of intuitiveness, healing codes, coordinates of compassion, etc., are left behind and the head takes on new assignments for attitude, justifications, categorizing, and canstantly schemeing to be right. (Ponder the slogan, "Would you rather be right or happy?"). Clinically, when the patient listens to their own heart sounds (which can be a profound experience in and of itself!), the body produces a file on a variety of conditions that coerce consciousness into the head and asks for therapeutic measures that shift various dynamics so that we are naturally beaconed back to residency in the heart.
+ HEAD of OBSESSION and COMPULSION
By definition, any ancillary cooks in the kitchen or lobbyists in command central will exert their influence in ways that will be carried out compulsively and with a narrow focus. The point is to see that this all comes from a mal-adaptive VIEWPOINT and is functioning not in accordance with our integrated, higher interest. Rather, it is the folly of our narrative that seeks so-called repairs for itself. Revisiting a perceived point in time where we felt we were knocked off our feet and survival was threatened can set up a beacon that attracts us with full throttle compulsivity if we carry the delusion that we can "re-do" that juncture in CONTROL and on our terms. All lobbyists in one's inner "cabinet" are there because they get paychecks from our subconsciousness that is so aligned to our NARRATIVE. If our story contains aspects that say we could be annihilated, enter a deep abyss, or be hit by a tsunami of emotional pain, and that a given lobbyist can safeguard us from the actualization of these apprehensions, the game is on for that mechanism to be paid top dollar. It can then run amok and hijack our VIEWPOINT. Upon resolution of these underlying defects that the body prioritizes and shows us exactly how to repair, the racket of obsession and compulsivity sputter to a halt, as logs are no longer thrown on those fires.
+ HEAD OF PROJECTION/EXTERNALIZATIONS
The coping mechanisms of projection and externalization are other adverse infiltrations to our prime directive. If an interpretation is running that is not necessarily comfortable, when an individual's threshold is met, this lobbyist will save the day by activating its physics apparatus that externalizes the problem onto other people or situations. A second layer of camouflage makes a fix that's much more elusive as we start to champion a cause against the very thing that is an unresolved component within ourselves. Projection of a positive is also a problem. We see this in sports arenas as well as over identification with nationalism. When we see guys in stadiums come to life when they beat their chests and yell, “Go, Packers”, or “Kill the son of a bitch” for example, this person needs to reclaim their own personal power. This projection department reached its peak of audacity a few years back when the funeral industry teamed up with the NFL and sold countless caskets covered with the team logo. Pretty sad when a whole life is memorialized by a token of displaced power. The body usually exhibits an elegant personal protocol for a reintegration of power to take place, often setting up an outlet for expression in advance, before the inner merge takes place, knowing this is essential for maintaining the correction.
+ HEAD of ADDICTION
Unfortunately, this graphic compensation to underlying weak links is showing up at epidemic levels in our society. The lobbyist comes on board with a pledge to do whatever is necessary to keep the persona out of pain and perception of misery or a feeling of uselessness. In 12 step work, they refer to this mechanism as being “cunning, baffling, and powerful” in its resourcefulness to keep the drug of choice available and fully effective in producing inebriation. Kinesiology will almost always go upstream and cut the paycheck to this department by reformatting ones personal story so that inner misery turns to wisdom. When this happens there is no need to make payments to a team of inner disassociators. One no longer sees the drug of choice as life-saving when a new sense of self starts to savor its integrated version of itself. The addict temporarily feels ripped off in that attaining a fix no longer rings the bell. There is an indifference to the notion of acting out the addictive mechanism. An entire collaboration with the Law of Attraction crumbles and the individual exits the culture that has been established with other addicts, and moves into healthy association, inwardly and outwardly. When this lobbyist loses his job (or even better, his cleverness is harnessed toward a new, positive purpose), one walks away from the culture of addiction with a sense of victory and inner mastery.
+ HEAD of DIVERSION
This lobbying bureaucracy operates multiple subdivisions. It mixes and matches and is clever enough to keep itself subtle and societally endorsed so that it flies under the radar and is seldom perceived as a mechanism of error that needs to be amended. An example would be the new access through technology of tv shows where season after season of shock value entertainment can be consumed on a binge basis, the diversion literally running endlessly. Second tier endorsement takes place when we converse about the latest developments with our network of friends and it gives us a sense of community as we relate about the characters. The same thing happens in the world of retail therapy when it is a bridge into the world of “keeping up with the Jones’” and we feel connected and possibly ahead of the game as we discuss the latest and greatest commodities and can boast our ability for ownership. One has a hard time breaking these types of lobbyist cajole when it is tied to a sense of self esteem. Computers can be used diagnostically in a Kinesiology setting. We can isolate our inner chinks of the armor and weak links in the chain when we see the overview of what soothes us with online diversion. It’s hard to climb out of a rabbit hole if we don't know we’ve gone down one. Kinesiology is always trying get the core being to break out of its trance. Realigning these time wasting affiliations is the first step to a more fruitful use of attention and time. I remember hearing as a child that if someone were to take all the time spent watching tv and used that to play piano, for example, he or she would play at concert level easily. When this lobbyist can no longer exert influence, we can gravitate to endeavors that bring out the best of us and free us from this chronic placating. If we are being guided by our own creativities and purposes of life, the notion of binge consumption of diversion seems absurd.
+ HEAD of NEURO-CHEMISTRY
In more of an assistant role to our growing list of ill-motived saboteurs, there is mechanism for altering the brain's bio-chemistry that is activated to perpetuate the constancy of a given lobbyist’s objective. Many of the primary mechanisms that send memoranda to this department intentionally solicit the support of altered brain chemistry like DOPAMINE, SEROTONIN, ADRENALINE, CORTISOL, etc., as well as molecules that promote HABIT and ADDICTION. (Often big business will meddle with these internal chemistries in an effort to sell more bad foods.) Often when one is trying to use our system to reclaim a singular, unified persona, the physics might get clear, the belief systems reformatted, emotions converted to favorable context, and narratives now ensconced in an attitude of gratitude, yet the sense of completion eludes us or is not sustainable under the stress of certain provocations. The residual patterning of cycles of DOPAMINE SURGING and the cellular memories of ADRENALINE RUSH, for example, sabotage the fix, by wanting us to recapture that feeling. At Viewpoint Wellness, as part of any visit, the body is queried about the biochemistry and will lead us to the remedy, if it is on board. One avenue of resolve is to check in with the department of genetics and see if the person may have inherited a gene that results in the deficiency of a certain enzyme(s) that hinders the body’s ability to break down and clear various fight-or-flight and stimulatory neuro-transmitters. The body will respond kinesiologicaly when it has what it needs to arrest the imbalance of molecules and have a revitalized pathway for ongoing equilibrium and homeostasis bio-chemically. This is a very solid fix within itself but also lends significant support to the other issues that have been addressed in regard to the other mal-adaptations.
+ HEAD of CONSCIOUS VS SUBCONSCIOUS REGULATION
This inner strategist is almost never unemployed and works 24/7 in an effort to maintain an adaptive stability in the body by operating as a gate between the conscious system and the subconscious. In the discernment process from this office, if anything appears to be of a disruptive nature, it will likely be shunted to the subconscious before it even enters the person’s conscious awareness. This can be a useful faculty if it is programmed for a favorable discernment of material to assist the core self, but it is often taken over by the lobby system and undergoes its editing function to make sure we stay unaware of just how many cooks might be in our kitchen. Some very useful techniques are available to reboot the system and make sure the faculty itself allies with the pursuit of wholeness and breaks rank with serving the mal-adaptive pursuits of a crowded kitchen. It is my experience that when this comes up specifically for a patient, that he/she will have accompanying TMJ problems. This is the result of the recruited masseter muscle, which when the subconscious wants to mitigate with the conscious by way of the dreams, causes the jaw to clamp down to deny access, thus stressing the teeth and TMJ. This can then compromise any or all of the five acupuncture meridians that pass through this complex and result in downstream illness and deficiency. To deny the paycheck to this staff person, a change of context will render the whole department irrelevant: when it becomes a conscious INTENTION that we want the conscious and the subconscious to always be merged and integrated vs suppressed and segregated, this gatekeeping has no purpose whatsoever. A key endeavor in our clinic is to shift enough context and create enough self-propagating wholeness, that the 24/7 function is on the lookout for renegade processes and is designed to reel them in like a rancher brings a stray sheep back to the herd.
+ HEAD OF CONTROL
When we are in a process that makes us feel like that something happened that we had no say in or that we were (or still are) denied some critical resource, a mal-adaptive mechanism is incepted as a retaliation to the ongoing narrative. There is a script writer and a gyroscope that team up and work 24/7 to concoct a “re-do” of the narrative, returning to the scene of the crime over and over again in an effort to relive it, this time from a context that we have CONTROL of it, have POWER to deflect the adversity, or devise an overcompensated degree of resource to atone for the scarcity. This cycle is by definition compulsory and and relief is short lived, and like in addiction, there is usually a return for more. At Viewpoint Wellness we breakdown the mis-associations, and flawed narratives that fuel the cycle, and restore a new set of associations and install a story that is one of silver lining. When this is achieved, this lobbyist leaves the building and authenticity and integration is reclaimed. Loss of thought and worldview, the shutting down of emotions (mitigated by the pineal gland), the shift of VIEWPOINT from heart to head, a mental alchemy that changes verb experience into noun pigeonhole (in an attempt to reclaim CONTROL), the establishment of defense mechanisms, finding preoccupations so that there is little room for the story to plague us, disassociative processes, addictions, projections, minimizations, etc., ceases. It is the sum total of these processes that when each takes on a life of its own, enslave us and lower the bar substantially in regard to quality of life. Before we know it, we consider a given day to be a good one that spared us from calamity or attack. Long lost is the anticipation that love, connection, trust, creativity, and purpose might permeate our being and express through us. I feel it is worthwhile to explore this political cabinet that taints us, so we might recognize ourselves when under their jurisdiction, as it is out of this Viewpoint of seeing ourselves in this mire, that we can liberate ourselves from it.
