A Journey into the Heart of Love Through the Power of Real Communication…Part Two. A True Love Story
Love and Communication are our soul’s greatest needs…If you want to have a life of ever expanding Love, peace and happiness shared with your close beloveds, develop your ability to communicate.
“To love someone with all your heart
Requires reaching them where they are
With the only words they can understand.”
—Shannon Adler
Though almost everyone can talk, and may
Sincerely believe they are “communicating”,
Few are aware of the higher potential real communucation
Opens up in terms of feeling love, closeness and intimacy
Or have even considered doing the outer and inner
Work necessary to develop their ability for deep communication.
“Honest, open communication is the only street
That leads us into the real world…
We then begin to grow as never before,
And once we are on this road
Happiness cannot be far away.”
—John Joseph Powell
Communication which becomes this open road to happiness
Requires two people who want and are able to the work necessary to
Come into loving alignment with each other…
If two people, who have already have this innate ability,
Meet for the first time in this life, that moment is
Like a light being switched on in a totally dark room
That you’ve lived in all of your life,
Without even being aware that light exists
And is now available to illuminate your world.
“Every act of communication
Is a miracle of translation.”
—Ken Liu
After my own sudden and unexpected spiritual awakening in 1964,
I sensed intuitively that there was a special person “out there”
In the world somewhere, who was my “soul mate”,
Who would recognize me for who I really am and
Be able to be in true communication with me.
Though everyone around me in daily life—
My parents, brothers, teachers and class mates,
Certainly talked with me and some loved me, no one
Really recognized who I am or understood me…
In fact, I was considered by all as the weird
“Black sheep” of the family because, after my awakening,
I lost interest in so many things I had been passionate about before,
Preferring to be in solitude on long nightly prayer and meditation
Walks on the miles of deserted white sand beaches
On the beautiful tropical island where we lived.
For one long lonely year , I put out a strong prayerful call to
The universe that my destined soul mate and I
Would somehow be brought together.
One night, when I was 15, just as the sun was setting,
And I was about to leave the beach and go home,
I saw a girl standing alone, who at the time was 16 years old,
Watching the waves coming in to kiss the beach.
We looked at each other and in that moment had
Instant, full and complete soul to soul recognition,
Which transformed our lives forever in seconds.
As we gazed into each other’s eyes,
We were already shifting into a high state of
Pure love and heart to heart communion…
Such as I had always wanted, but scarcely
Believed existed in this painful world, and had only
Tasted in my nightly meditation sessions with God.
With our eyes already brimming with radiant love,
We shared profound, expansive communication without
Saying a word, for words are at a loss to express
The nuances of two souls in communion.
“Loving words are the voice of the heart.”
—Confucius
When we did speak, we experienced that we understood
Everything said easily and intuitively.
It was delightful to test our ability to use our words
As wings for soaring up into unlimited skies
So sweetly, easily and blissfully together.
Though we later got into trouble with our parents for it,
We broke the rules and stayed out long after curfew,
Delighted in being together and talking ,as if we were two old friends,
In this high state of loving communication,
For many hours into the night.
Being with her is when I discovered the nearly unlimited
Possibilities that can be realized through the power of communication.
Before we met, I lived alone in a black and white reality,
Dreaming of and longing to be free to explore
a much wider and more wonderful world.
After we met, my world was forever transformed into
One of rainbow colors and glowing vistas.
Our being brought together was truly miraculous because
Her family was visiting our island on vacation, and soon
We had to say goodbye when she returned to her far away home.
But the flame and desire to communicate had been lit and
Even though it was the Sixties, long before cell phones or texts,
We kept that flame of communication going between us through
Writing a letter to each other every day for many years,
With a few rare, but treasured phone calls, until we “grew up”,
And became free to come together as we had always longed for…
Our ability to be in loving communion increased and deepened as our
Communication flowed and shifted through shared experiences of living
Our lives side by side until our paths diverged…
We are still close friends to this day and we both know for sure
That the lines of inner communion between us are still active,
Even when we do not see each other and have only random communications.
“Communication works for those
Work at it.”
—John Powell
I am grateful to now
be in a long term relationship with one who chooses to
Live and work with me everyday to create a life we both love
And can thrive and grow in…
It has been challenging for both of us since day one many years ago,
As we have worked to develop our communication every single day,
Facing every kind of trail and difficulty in conscious pursuit of healing
And learning how be the loving, supportive and caring friend we
Both need, deserve and have to have…
Great, lasting, growing relationships are not like the fairy
Tale “happily ever after” kind…
We have to work on developing our ability to communicate every
Day and persevere even when it seems like a hopeless cause,
Because we know and have learned that having good, open hearted,
Sincere communication is absolutely necessary to get through the
Challenges as well as the blessings of life which
then strengthens and empowers us both.
