Communication

Abraham: Pure friendship appreciates others for what they am. It allows another's truth and makes it very comfortable to be direct. There is no hidden agendas. Pure friendship plays no mindal games. It seeks not
to steal from one another, but to give freely.

As humans grow they develop various techniques to acquiring what they want. These techniques are clouded with falsities and have often lost the purity that spiritual brothers and sisters can attain with one another. Assumptions may lead to conclusions that are not clear in our communication. In today's world of wheeling and dealing, manipulation and seeking ego gratification, we have lost the art of communication to a great extent.

As small children we learned that simply asking for what we desired did not work. We learned various techniques to talk others into what we desired. Of course, a wise parent cannot grant their child's every wish because some of those wishes are harmful, nonetheless, the child pads the communication with
impurities. The beauty of simple truth is practically lost.

Many mortals have learned that to request fulfillment of certain needs requires mindal games, such as empty flattery, aloof attitudes, phoniness. We have lost the courage to state the plain and simple truth. The truth that of course is our own. We expect others to be able to relate with what we are saying and fulfill our needs.

A wife who is angry with her husband may not come right out and state her problems. Instead she may choose to be silent or be short with her words, or deliberately do things the husband does not like. The simple art of communication would enable her to state her difficulty with her husband honestly without padding or game playing.

Those who have been married many years have learned to use this communication manipulation, because they feel they are no longer really heard or taken seriously. In a manner of speaking, mortals train one another into using this impure method of communicating. Regarding the couple we are speaking of, the husband knows and recognizes this communication manipulation, and he has his own impure methods he uses back on the wife. No understanding is reached. Resentments are built. The plain and simple truth is lost. The compassion is lost. There are only defenses.

Take a look at the levels of purity in your communication. Attempt not to resort to game playing or manipulating to be heard. Instead, truthfully and with kindness, state what you are really feeling and
thinking. Do this as if you were not only discussing the difficulty with the person, but also their Indwelling Spirit. You would be surprised how many individuals will appreciate the simple honesty and your daringness to be truthful.

Communicate your feelings — for example: "I am hurt when you do this," or "I feel without value when you do that." Do not blurt out your truth as if to accuse, no. For example: "You always speak so negatively about me." Instead say this, "I feel hurt because it seems that you speak so negatively about me. I feel without value. I hurt to be without value in your eyes." The plain, pure, simple, honest feeling truth is opening, expanding, creating healing.

It is unpopular in this day and age to expose any vulnerability. When you do expose this softer side of yourself you speak to people's basic sense of compassion and make them feel comfortable to be open and honest. You literally open their attention and they are better able to really hear what you are saying. To create this ideal Brotherhood on Earth the game playing, energy manipulating needs to cease and pure feeling exposing needs to increase. Communication is an art. To gaze into your fellows eyes and feel a divine brotherly or sisterly connection is connection to the divine.

"Where two or more are gathered there am I also," said Jesus. Communicating should be a feeding of energy, a nurturing of souls, not manipulation to have your way, or to change another person, no. When you observe small children at play they seem to be so honest, so in the moment, so happy to be with one another. When children come in from play, it is not long before they are requesting to go back out again. Friendship is a natural divine energy source and a buffer from the brutality of mortal living.

Remember the pure communication of a small child. Be tactfully honest and appeal to your fellows Spirits as well as their hearts and minds. Seek to feed and nurture — not to rob to gain self-esteem or ego fulfillment

Amanson

Communication is the secret. Communication is the goal. Communication is the answer to the problem of the lack of understanding amongst people - between two individuals or entire nations, which are merely individuals in aggregate. 

The trading of differing viewpoints, the airing of grievances, the simple telling of tales is the oldest and most ingrained activity man as a species has known. This is what language was created for. This is how people see one another reflected in themselves. It is communication that turns the key, opens the door.  But first...

Communication begins with one's Interior Spirit, and once that communication is established, it can move outward. Communication does little good in the outside world if one's Indwelling Counselor has not been connected to and brought into the equation. And all participants - in any human communication - are privy to this same Indwelling Universal Counsel. It is this fact that makes communication possible in the first place. 

So, depth of communication begins 'at home', shall we say. It is the values unearthed 'at home' (within) that are communicated to the outside world. And just as any communication is given credence by its honesty, so interior communication - the first communication -  is the Credence creator, of which all exterior communication is but a mirror. The peoples of the world will not advance - nor live in peace - without communicating, and the 'world' that is each individual cannot hope to advance the aggregate without Communication first taking place within the consciousness, the soul, of that individual. So you see, Communication is a two-way street - extending outward, reaching inward. And it's the inner world's reflections that the outer world reflects on.

And once the Interior Connection has been established, the hospitable alchemy that is worldly communication must be be pursued with a focus, a determination to bring the other person (or persons) into one's orbit in order to explore the differences, the similarities; what might bring you closer together, what is currently keeping you apart.

Communication is the Oneness unveiled, frequencies pulsing with intention brought to the marketplace of ideas. Not for gain or advantage, just personal concerns and considerations - the trading of differing viewpoints, the airing of grievances, the simple telling of tales - threads and strands  woven together in a tapestry of many's-the-making, each strand having been heard from, all present now in a tapestry woven brightly and thoughtfully together on the oldest and most necessary of mankind's tools, the loom of Communication.
