A Journey Into the Heart of Love Through the Power of Real Communication...Part One
If you want to share a life of ever expanding love, peace and happiness with your circle of close beloveds, you must develop your ability to create and sustain real open hearted communication.
This is a story about the true meaning of communication…but it is also a real life love story that I have lived , learned from and been transformed by.
I will share all about that story tomorrow in Part Two,
but first, I want to go over the core truths about communication,
which I am only now beginning to really understand after
a lifetime of close, but often very challenging, personal love relationships.
Every communication is either
an expression of Love…
or a cry for help.
—Course In Miracles
Love and communication are intimately connected.
You cannot have one without the other…
love makes it possible to communicate and communication makes love grow,
round and round in an ever expanding circle.
Every relationship that is growing is growing because you are constantly sharing communication…
Every relationship that is in trouble, stressed and strained,
in a state of constant battle or fails and ends in separation,
even when there was so much loving promise and possibility…
is in dire straits due to the lack of real communication.
Communication is the life’s blood and breath of all love relationships,
without which, they will die a slow agonizing death.
You can not have a great relationship without good communication…
But, as I know from a lifetime of personal experience ,
as long as the two people love and care for each other and their relationship,
and are willing to patiently work for it, you can gradually develop
closer and closer open hearted soul satisfying communication.
.
Real heart to heart communication is the one thing that all of us absolutely have to have in our lives to thrive,
yet, the sad truth is most of us have difficulty communicating—
because most of us have either never had any real communication
or have forgotten its true meaning, power and purpose.
Even with random communication,
Things begin to reawaken.
—Robert Creeley
Almost everyone knows how to talk,
but few know how to communicate, even with their closest beloveds…
and fewer still know how to listen with heart so intently that
the space for communiuon is created.
If you study the root phrases and meanings of the word “Communicatiion”,
you will discover that communication is the ability
to create and sustain the state of pure communion.
If you study “Communion”, you will discover it means
achieving the state of two becoming
one with each other.
Thus, the purpose of true communication is for
two separate beings to achieve union with each other
through conversing, telepathic alignment or heart to heart transmission.
True communication is always loving, humble and respectful…
recognizing and accepting others as they are,
ever positive, appreciative and grateful,
for these attitudes and actions,
especially when Love is their source,
are the doorways to being in communion.
I am sharing all this with you
so you can begin to see the need for communication
from a higher perspective and understand its higher purpose.
I invite you to join us for Part Two tomorrow, here at “The Dawning Light”,
when I will write about meeting my soul mate at a very early age
and experiencing the almost infinite possibilities for greater and greater
love to flow from being in communication that leads into communion…
Meanwhile, practice being fully present and in a state of focused
listening to others with everyone in your life today…
you will be amazed and delighted by the results.
I’m not interested in being a “lover”,
I’m interested only in being Love.
The quieter you become,
the more you hear.
