> It is a life journey to learn to really communicate with others, but do we really achieve this state at the peak of our lives? You probably think that if you read a lot and you’re an experienced speaker you have dominated the art of communication. I challenge you, if you think you have reached this stage that you are only at the tip of the ice berg.
> In our recent history we have taken a step in our evolution by creating a standard of communication known as language. It has taken many centuries to create a common language for a large population. We have a long journey ahead of us if we are to create an Earthly accepted language. And even after that we have a longer journey to create or adopt an even more powerful communication means with beings beyond our mortal environment. This might be fantasy or science fiction for some. So let’s talk about our current surroundings.
> It takes you at least 16 years to complete your basic education. For many years after you continue to learn and practice your communication skills with others. Continue to go beyond that and your skills are challenged in marriage where you keep learning and practicing communication techniques. Sometimes these learnings have more to do with local rituals and habits. For example, when asking for something always say “please”. Another example, if someone sneezes, you must answer “bless you”. If you do not, you are seen as a rude person. Do you see that if you do not play the programming that most people have, you are seen negatively? I’ll give you another example where you will fully understand. Where I live when a person passes away, you would share your feeling with the grieving by giving them a hug. I know that in most of USA, people would find this awkward. They would feel they are getting congratulated on a sad day of their lives. It’s all about social programming (rituals, habits, etc.).
> Taking you back to communication skills. Let’s approach this in a dramatically different way. I want to demonstrate that the ultimate communication is actually silence. Let’s imagine a man and a woman that have just met. They will talk for hours, days, and months to learn how to communicate and share ideas, feelings and more. I believe this couple will learn after they master their communication skills to share a life of knowledge and feelings by just looking into each other’s eyes accompanied by a smile.
> Let me be romantic and give you the actual example of what one of them would say in a very brief text. “I love you very intensely and without any conditions.”
Even shorter: “I love you freely” (shorter with similar of more feelings).
Even shorter: “I love you” (emotional intensity is increased).
Even shorter: <sigh> (powerful).
> In order to understand this example you need to put yourself in the mode of a person lost in love.
> It is a very brief summary of that achievement. From extensive use of limited language (after all, language is very limited if you want to describe a very basic emotion), to the ultimate transfer of one’s essence through the art of silence.
> I am not talking about silence to hear the words of the other person. I am talking about a mutual silence and connecting of the souls. Must the souls involved need to be that of a man and woman in a strict relation? Mankind will some day evolve to this ability with each other without the use of electronic devices.
