TLP – Written over a period of 3 ½ years of intense affliction, this is the most secularized account is the output of the use of framing exercises when combatting affliction. Originally intended as a letter from a very ill father to his sons, this was published just hours before the contact events that began 5 days before the 4/20/14 Easter Sunday.
TLP2 – Knowing the benefits of framing exercises and now fully aware of what they really represent, this is an overview of the task ahead.
Starting with AN updated TLP that clarified some minor details combined with a contact account that speaks to the emotional magnitude of the framing exercise that needed to be constructed. From my context, all I really had to do was develop and practice the framing exercises appropriate to the events preceding 4/20/14 and those that followed.
TLP3 – published after my move from Michigan to Appalachia, it begins to document the magnitude of state sponsored hostility to these realities and what kind of attitude is required to overcome them. The intensity of the experiences requires one to allow the peace “which surpasses all understanding” to be part of their faith walk because staying calm as manifestations occur is normalcy. Dialoging with others is an important part of framing exercises because, as a process, it helps others identify deceptions of which they are unaware.
TLP4 – an in progress account of the medical kidnapping, court action, and other manifestations of the hostile and threatening environment commonly constructed to obstruct legitimate dialog on TLP topics. It is an unfortunate reality this kind of hostile behavior is common within our so-called medical system. It is also behavior that is rapidly expanding in America as legislatures deliberately erode personal rights in favor of pharma profits.
TLP5 – an in-progress account that attempts to cross references TLP 1 to a Narrow Path practice using the assumption the 4/15 and onward experiences were & are nothing unusual. The key assumption here being these experiences would be common to anyone living in and among a functional church-community. Using framing exercises in that context challenges common definitions of critical words like Faith, Belief, Worship, Baptism, etc. Because I never claimed to have anything more than a huge clue, dialog is important to uncovering the rest of the story.
In order to attempt to explain this active practice, I describe Narrow Path framing exercises that are, in practice, much easier to construct and use than secular ones. But, because they do employ active confrontation of uncomfortable emotions most people are unaware of them.
In a Narrow Path exercise practitioners invoke the Power of the Holy Spirit. In a secular framing exercise a practitioner’s courage is limited to whatever their personal philosophy and biases grant them. Therefore the Narrow Path takes all secular limits off whereas secular practices can’t take these same limits off.
