Conversation.
The forgotten art. Have you noticed that we have so much hate in the world that we have created a barrier in our communication skills. We choose to walk away rather than come together and have a meaningful conversation.
Hate leads to anger, and anger leads to suffering. Division weakens us and the conflicts that ensue distracts us. It is in this noise that the truth gets buried with created chaos. It turns brother against brother. It turns us against those people who were never our enemy.
The cure is an awareness. By pausing and reflecting on the scenario and looking at all angles, we begin this process. It is done through conversations. When we sit in the shade of a tree, it is because of a seed that somebody planted years ago. It is wise to remember that as in each conversation a seed is planted through understanding the other person’s opinions, and making space for the context to transform from hate to gratitude and love.
The ideas and ideologies in the conversation allows a “shade” of reason and intuition to come together and grow into meaningful actions. This is how a world is created and civilization sustained. Not by shutting down conversations and resorting to violence and hate-speak filled with noise that are the seeds of destruction and indoctrination.
The problem with starting a conversation is to admit that we could be wrong and maybe somebody has another point of view. We tend to neither hear nor listen and speak to be heard, and not stay silent to allow the natural flow of time and space and energy to take place. Such is the trouble with conversation. Both parties speak, louder and louder to be heard, yet neither actually have the ability to listen to their own hearts. it is the noisy minds that do the talking from faulty perspectives ( if one cannot see the whole picture) and not the hearts which obtain the energy potentials.
Staying silent is a novel approach for both sides, to allow the space, the divide to shrink and to come together and when ready and only then with coherent thoughts, then converse not spew. When we heal our own traumas, our nervous systems relax and we can then feel safe to speak. It is when we stop conversing that tragedy strikes. Perhaps it is when we can openly say “ I dont know” that the real journey begins through admittance.
Hearts that connect with the energy of love are able to make a difference. Those heart filled with doubt and fear, seldom create unity, instead strife. The greatest conversation begins within ourselves. An inner accountability of reality. This also is the hardest conversation anyone has ever really had, as the mind’s chaos prevents this from happening. Don’t believe me? Try it. Shut up. Quieten the chatter. And just listen. Respond and not react, but when the time is right. Trust the intuition to guide you in the conversation and when to open your mouth to let your voice be heard.
Only the most open of hearts wait patiently to listen to the other person. That is the nature of love.

I love you
