SENSITIZE (Substitute)
In his Untotaled series, Jonathan entertained us with the “steppings” that grew him into the man he is.
Wisdom and stature, my friends. It’s acquisition is not always pretty.
Sensitize Substitute (or Where’s Jonathan?) … September 18th, 2020
Truth is, he’s in the hospital–diagnosed with a spot of pneumonia.
He’ll be back soon–but all Prayerapy and even good vibes are certainly solicited.
So your writer today is Janet Clazzy, long-time partner and friend-to-the-end.
Suspecting that many of you have become fond of Mr. Cring’s daily morning post–his Sensitize videos–I thought I might conjure a substitute.
NOT one I make up (collective sigh of relief).
No, I shall plumb some of the depths of Jonathan’s legacy thus far.
“But,” you might ask, “I am interested in his RECENT thoughts.”
I sympathize. Me, too.
But here’s a bit of insight on Mr. Cring’s work: it’s both historical and evolutionary. In other words, some of the themes are new. Other theses he’s been stumping his whole life.
For example:
When he was eight years old, he pretty much concluded that God isn’t mean. He recently wrote an article about it called “Damn.”
He published a book entitled The Gospel According to Common Sense in 1978, explaining that God meant us to be human, since He made us that way.
In a live performance in 1980, I heard Jonathan say, “All information that comes to you hits your emotions first.” He went on to explain that we are heart, soul, mind and strength creatures. (Sound familiar?)
In 2009, he promoted the notion that No One Is Better Than Anyone Else. (We did two years of touring under that title.)
In 2015 he wrote Within, a short book that shows that the Sermon on the Mount is full of lifestyle coaching.
And in 2018, along came Prayerapy–the notion that prayer and therapy are meant to heal us, if we will spill our emotions out loud in our own private closet.
So over the next few days, with Jonathan being temporarily out of pocket, I shall put out some of his previous works that are still quite, shall we say, “Sensitizing.”
So let’s get started. Here is today’s video:

That Win The Admiration of Everybody (Even Your Enemies)
1. Sharing what you can.
It’s actually the Golden Rule. There’s nothing wrong with taking care of your own needs, but there is something wrong with forbidding blessing to others less fortunate.
2. Pursuing what works.
If you know (or even strongly suspect) that something is going to work, chase it down with gusto.
3. Letting everyone know that you can work with what you’ve got.
A true genius is someone who’s given little and finds a way to make it more.

1 Thing You Can Do to Guarantee that Fear Will Remain … September 14th, 2020

Take it seriously before you take it someplace to determine if it’s serious.
The truth is, your mimicry of a problem is stronger than the problem itself.
In other words, your ability to imitate sickness is often much more astute, and even believable, than the reality of the problem itself.
Although there might be a bone-chilling sadness from finding out the truth, trying to keep up the illusion of fear can be exhausting.
You just have to find out.
Fear is what humans use when they hope God will surprise them by letting them know through some backdoor way that their fears are ill-founded—and they really are okay. And of course, it would have to be a back-door way—because fear is so very creative.
Fear loves fooling us.
Every person who is fearful needs to be honest and realize two things:
1. No person has ever died from foolishness.
It’s the reality—the real thing—that gets you. Which means that the majority of the time, when your foolishness is not a reality, you are legitimately safe.
2. Feeling foolish makes you look foolish,
This is not only uncomfortable, but can leave you defensive and ultimately appear ten times worse than necessary.
Go ahead and find out.
That way if you aren’t what you think you are, you’re safe and sound. And if you are what you fear, you can get started with the comfort and healing one week earlier.
