Communicating Your Truth

Communication between all beings is challenging at this time as all begin to come into alignment with their true nature. There may have been times when you were less than forthcoming and honest with those around you and now that imbalance is being corrected.  All are being called into accountability to stand in the truth of their being and to be held accountable for past missteps.

Beginning today, what can you do to “clean up your act” and come from a place of total honesty in all that you do? How will this affect the way you communicate with those around you? Are some things best left unsaid if they are hurtful to another or they serve no constructive purpose? What things might you have said that really are only reflections of your own insecurities or erroneous thought patterns?

How might you rephrase your speech to begin to communicate things that uplift and empower those around you rather than calling them to task for things you do not like? By emphasizing the divine qualities in another, you empower them to personify these very qualities. Since you give energy to the things you observe, wouldn’t it be more constructive to focus on and reinforce things that ennoble others rather than deride them for the ways they fall short of your vision?

If we wish to direct positive behavior, it also helps to model the things we value in others. Since like does attract like, the more Loving we are to those who may not be demonstrating Love themselves, we plant seeds that when nourished will produce astounding results.  Being the change you wish to see in the world begins to take form when we learn to see through God’s eyes rather than the dirty lenses society uses to separate us by emphasizing our differences rather than acknowledging our similarities and common purpose.

Being able to communicate these simple truths and standing tall in your integrity by proclaiming this higher vision may be uncomfortable but necessary if change is to be realized. Your courage to communicate your truth, regardless of the opinions of others will encourage others to do likewise and help begin the process of changing attitudes and therefore reality.

Now this is not to say that all such comments will be welcomed by those who are comfortable in their rut of complacency. How frightening it may be to some who see life only through the keyhole of experience and are unaware of the greater possibilities of the expanded reality you may be proposing. Rather than making others “wrong” you may find it easier to communicate your own experience, especially your early misgivings and how you overcame impediments to grow into greater understanding. The walk on the upward path is less frightening when one can hold the hand of another who has trod the way before and is willing to share their experience. As more and more step in the experience becomes richer and the way more pleasant for all involved.

Truth once shared becomes part of common knowledge. As more contribute their observances and insights, the vision of a common truth emerges which allows all to be part of the process of revelation. It is through the sharing and evaluating and refining the common vision that the greater truth will be revealed that more clearly reflects the common experience. Without the perspective of the collective observances, your truthlet will be a mere drop in the ocean of truth. Be willing to allow other droplets to coalesce until the greater version of truth begins to take form. There will always be other versions of truth seen from a different vantage point that may or may not alter one’s perspective of truth.

If one is rigidly adherent to a version of truth and unable to appreciate the richness of different visions, one will find it difficult to see as God sees life full of the textures and intricacies of diversity in the human experience.  Step back and observe the magnificence…

Communication

When you begin to interact with others in a conscious way, it is important that you be crystal clear with your message but also your motivation. There is an energy associated with communication and if the underlying tone is one of resentment or manipulation it will be felt by the receiver and skew the communication. In the new era of truth and clarity, it is one of the areas that will require the greatest adjustment for many.
When you interact with those in your sphere of influence, you may have developed a pattern of holding back the things you believe to be true until you feel a modicum of trust developing. It is not always advisable to lay all of your cards on the table for everyone because it may be more information than they are willing or able to process at that time. We are speaking rather that with those that you share intimate relationships with, there should be no hidden agendas or subterfuge. No one should have to make assumptions as to the intentions or motivations of their partners in life because all are united in process and destination. If all are working together in Oneness, there may be different pieces to the action, but there is a common goal that is being approached.


That said, it is a journey that is fraught with many convolutions as all begin to come into resonance with the Oneness of creation. It is most often the illusions of the ego that prevent our seeing clearly the common threads that unite us. Taking time to step back and view a situation in wisdom and clarity allows all to adjust their perspective in order to create a common vision together. By seeing past the actions and reactions of others and sensing the deeper needs and motivations of their actions, one is able to dissolve the resentments and disharmony that the actions are bringing to our attention.


Few in this time of transformation act with malice. It is rather our personal insecurities and areas we have yet to resolve within our own growth process that are brought to the surface for healing. It is within the safety of those that know and Love us best that we feel the freedom to allow our innermost challenges to be revealed. That is the blessing of openness for it allows us to strengthen our bonds of closeness as we come together and share the process of life.


Rather than lashing out or reacting negatively when one reveals their vulnerable underbelly to us, warts and all, how much more helpful might it be if we were to expose our own vulnerabilities as well and together examine the things we wish to transmute together. We may not be our brother/sister’s keeper, but we are certainly mirrors to each other in the process of life. How we show up in the lives of our friends and acquaintances is the opportunity we have to transform ourselves as well as those around us in the process.


If we are willing to step back and examine what these moments of conflict are telling us about where we need to focus our attention in life, we will find innumerable opportunities for growth and transformation. Be thankful for those you have called into your intimate partnerships for they are your handmaidens to growth and understanding…Namaste,

Transparency

In these times of stress and accountability we are called to be ever more mindfully into our communication with others. Are the words coming out of our mouths a true reflection of the situation at hand or merely and edited version of what we believe the other wants to hear? How willing are we to turn on the light of scrutiny to probe the deeper Truths that not only can bring us together but also tear us apart?

Back to those lessons of the ego… How fragile are our associations if we are unwilling to “fess up” and be responsible for the fallout from our actions? To what extent are we operating out of integrity by glossing over Truth in favor of harmony? What are the presumed consequences and benefits of coming clean and expressing our own shortcomings, misconceptions, and misgivings? Do the gains outweigh the losses in clearing the slate and beginning again from a position of honesty? Is “saving face” the greater virtue or is this trumped by the higher value of being seen as someone of Truth and integrity?

In order to feel safe in expressing total Truth, one must feel the other is receptive to the process. If the other is defensive or reactive, the Truth may be partially revealed in the guise of safety. Is it “safe” to operate behind a shield of partial Truth when ultimately disclosure will reveal this to be incomplete and misleading? How do we limit our experiencing the full Truth of others by the shields and reactions we use to prevent us from hearing the very things that can allow us to grow into our magnificence?

As for the tearing apart… If an association is built on partial truths or is fear-based, is it in the best interest of all concerned for it to crumble and perhaps be rebuilt in a higher form? If manipulation of others is the means you have used to create the “truth” you wish to perpetuate, how willing are you to let go of these old tools in order to create more conscious relationships and interactions? If transparency is to be the new modus operendi, how might you go about rebuilding the associations in your life to coincide with this new dynamic?

Consider a world where Knowing is all encompassing. There would be no second guessing those in your association because Truth would be the only language spoken. How does that differ from the world in which you currently reside? How do you intend to alter your perceptions and actions to create this new reality?

What if you made sure that all of your conversations with significant others were in a Loving, open, respectful, stress-free environment and not in tirades, text messages, or in passing? What if you were only to express Truths that you were confident of to a moral certainty and not a product of gossip or innuendo? What if all were to put the ego aside and share from deeper levels of the heart how things show up in our lives, our struggles, dilemmas, and conclusions? What if you were to engage the other in seeing the bigger picture together and welcome comments and criticism with equal warmth as praise?

You are being called into greater integrity with your associations, your words, and your actions. This is the transparency of the new paradigm.

Communicating Your Truth

Communication between those of you incarnate is vital to the progression of not only the species but to the growth and understanding of the individuals involved in the earth school of spiritual growth. If one is unable to find a common ground of interaction, how is Oneness to be achieved? When one assumes to know the desires of the other heart, one negates the possibilities of interchange which would enhance the development of a common vision.

While surprises might be well intended, perhaps they are an attempt to impose one’s will or desires on the other without giving them the opportunity to contribute to the process. Before one moves unilaterally in assuming the at they know the desires of the other heart, perhaps it might be more honoring if time were spent in honest communication with the other in order to uncover the deeper longings and beliefs that are under the rug of complacency. It is often these deep seated hidden feelings of not being heard or acknowledged at a core level that eat away at the fabric of relationship over time, though on the surface the parties may feel that they are honoring each other .


In am effort to “make nice” we frequently do not honor our deep-seated beliefs and desires when they conflict with those of our partners in experience. The Divine Feminine has frequently taken a passive role in interchanges with the Divine Masculine in order to maintain peace in the process. At the same time, the Divine Masculine may find itself searching for clues of unexpressed desires in order to read between the lines of expressed thoughts and repressed ones. The time has come to clear the air and sit together in honest communication of desires and feelings so that all are able to work together in common purpose and expression.


Honoring the other is only meaningful and supportive if the “gift” offered is appreciated in return and not seen as another indication of the other’s will to be overcome. While the element of surprise may be lacking, the heart-felt gift of seeking out the true wishes and desires of the intended recipient of one’s gestures of service and submission will be appreciated far beyond the receipt of the gift. In this instance, the true gift is the one of honoring and sharing the secret wishes of the receiver, rather than the needs for expression of the giver. The underlying motives of both determine whether the interchange of energy has a positive or negative effect. A gift that feels more like a burden may not achieve the desired response.


How might the process be redirected so that the receiver feels honored, heard and seen at a deeper soul level? This can be easily accomplished through communication before initiating action in order to align desires with motives and deeds. Unwanted gifts, though well intended may turn into resentments if there is not an understanding between the parties. This can only be communicated by honest, revealing discussion where one hears and reflects back to the other true feelings, rather than just what the other wants to hear.


This is the challenge and the journey of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine coming together into Unity. When we lay aside the masks of the past and step out of the expectations and blinders society has placed upon us, we step into a rarefied space where our true selves are able to come together in the purity of Truth, seeing and appreciating each other for the unique expressions of the divine that we are. Let the unveiling begin…

Conscious Communication

The resonance of one person to another is largely a matter of matching the vibrational frequency. If one person is vibrating at an octave that is far greater than the other, there will be a difficulty in finding common ground upon which to find harmony. Now this is not to say that they will be unable to communicate, however it will be more difficult to find areas of agreement. The one with the lower vibratory level will simply be incapable of grasping the concepts that the other sees as a given.

This is much of what is going on in your world today. There are those that have achieved a relatively high level of spiritual awareness and those that this is not even on their radar screen yet. While we are not saying that one should give up trying to plant seeds, it will be necessary to find areas of commonality for discussion before any significant interchange can take place. This is what meaningful communication is all about. It is sharing a level of understanding in which one imparts their perspective and knowledge to the other. In turn, the other can exchange their own thoughts and insights. In such both are enriched by the experience and understanding is facilitated.

Without a common frame of reference, there will not be the framework upon which to build a consensus. It would be as if they were speaking different languages, not understood by the other. Much that is taking place between participants in the earth school is falling on deaf ears. Either there is a gulf that separates the participants that is not being received due to lack of basic understanding or the door is being closed before the dialogue begins due to preconceived notions of disharmony. How might you alter your understanding to create more effective communication with those around you?

First we might suggest that you take time to set the stage upon which the dialogue is to take place. When one knows that the other shares similar background, interests or other areas of commonality, there is a predisposition to open to their views and understanding. The breaking down of barriers must take place before one is able to take in what is being exchanged.

Secondly, there must be openness and a willingness to suspend judgment temporarily and to allow the other to share what is in their heart. While it is not necessary to agree in whole or in part with the communication, by allowing the other to lay forth what they believe to be True without judgment or disparagement it allows the free flow of information to unfold.

Being an attentive, nonjudgmental listener is an advanced skill of communication that opens many doors for understanding. Frequently listeners are less concerned with receiving the information that is being shared and more with preparing their response. It is easy to miss subtle nuances that help discern the hidden meaning behind the words when one is concentrating on one’s own reply to the message. Nothing will be more appreciated by a partner in communication than an attentive, thoughtful listener. When one feels heard, one is more likely to hear as well because they are looking for feedback and validation or challenge to their perceptions.

Meaningful dialogue results when two or more can come together in realization of the Truth of the other, whether or not they agree with the interpretation. Real understanding is a byproduct of expressed views and a willingness to hear the other out before passing judgment on the validity of their message. In such the obstacles to understanding are dissolved and the lesser is given a hand up on the vibrational scale.

Difficult times call for those at the higher vibrational levels to make a greater effort in order to bridge the gulf that is preventing awareness. You may not feel that you have all of the answers, but at least you are able to listen to the concerns of those around you. Just your willingness to be a thoughtful listener opens many doors. You do not have to agree or condone what is being said – only listen. Once the other sees that you are honoring them with your attention, they begin to put down their defenses and open their eyes and ears to new possibilities.

Without meaningful dialogue, there is little hope for removing the barriers that prevent all from rising to a higher vibrational threshold. You can help facilitate the shift into higher consciousness through your communications with others in your world. Do not be too quick to dismiss those who seem on an entirely different energetic frequency for they may be looking for a hand up in the area of understanding to grasp. It may only take a toehold for them to begin to facilitate their higher growth and you may be the inspiration to make the climb. By staying in your Truth and finding Loving ways of encouraging them to increase their own divine template, you do more to elevate the collective than becoming a “hero” in wars of the flesh.

Consider how you show up in lives of others, especially those who are the most challenging, and you will see where you fit in the unfolding mosaic of experience. Well done…
