If we look closely at the problems in the world today, many result from our incapacity to get along with one another. And most of our non-relating has its roots in our inability to communicate. We talk but we don’t express that which is significant; we listen but we don’t really hear; our words confuse instead of illuminate; and in trying to share ourselves to become more intimate we all too often create walls, distance and disharmony and friction. 

Most of us grew up in families that were non-functional in terms of communication. We learnt not to express our real feelings and instead learnt to use words as veils to deceive. We became indirect in our speaking, doing everything but speaking the truth. We never learnt to express ourselves in healthy ways where we say what we really feel and in ways that can be heard by another.

There is hidden dimension to communication based on energy. We might say the word “Hello”, but it is the energy behind that is what’s really communicated. Image the way your boss says, “Hello” when you’re late for work, versus the “Hello” you hear from the lover you haven’t seen in a week.

Imagine being able to communicate directly from your essence instead of masks and patterns. Imagine being in touch with your deeper truth in each moment and having the ability to authentically express it. And imagine that you can do this in such a way that the other can really hear it, and that they too can be heard by you. If we could do this with each other, what a different world it would be.
