71 - FAR CORNER FINAL CHANCE TO PASS THE BATON

Submitted by Dr. Robert F. Lane on

PLAN AHEAD AND BE INTENTIONAL

The baton passes needs to be planned in the backstretch, then executed with words in the far corner and reinforced with your life throughout. The homestretch should be left entirely for applause. Clearly those seduced by fear and denial, never get to the backstretch or make a good handoff. The Dragon knows that and that is a big part of the reason he keeps throwing them to you........y

67 - BATON PASS & TELLING SECRETS

Submitted by Dr. Robert F. Lane on

It is the time for telling secrets that have held you or others prisoner. It is a time to come out of any "cage of guilt"*26 created at first by a little lie or deceptive omission, but perpetuated by more lies to protect the first making the bars bigger and bigger. It is not just about breakout freedom or divine forgiveness, but it is “…so that the person you're confessing to knows that they're not alone."*14 Small lies and omissions are common in life, but they seldom forecast the entrapment they create.

68 -THE FAR CORNER - PASSING THE BATON

Submitted by Dr. Robert F. Lane on

The FAR CORNER starts when your first relapse occurs. For the vast majority of cancer patients this means cure is no longer possible. Another remission may be but in all likelihood it will not be as long as the first – perhaps half as long, maybe less. With each relapse the likelihood of subsequent remission becomes less likely and shorter. So if with the wisdom you have gained down the backstretch you have anything left in your life you want to complete, it is time to get on with it. If you are blessed with another remission or more time than you need, you can do it all over again.
