The gift of listening

Once a man came to a psychiarist. Doc, he said, nobody wants to listen to me!

Nurse, the next please...

Over the years I have discovered that listening is more precious than talking. And in the same manner we have to train our skills in talking, listening needs exercise. Like talking, listening is not simply done by nature.

Listening is a divine gift. If talking is like an opening of a stream of words falling upon someone, listening is opening a stream of nothing thus creating a room of presence. Listening is allowing presence by interrupting words and thoughts. Listening is a case of feelings and practicing patience.

The room of presence creates a special communication. You look. You smell. You feel. You mirror. You challenge.

By listening you learn to get aware of little signs and expressions. You discover the unnecessarity of always talking much. Many problems find it`s own solution without special interference. The rpoom of presence is a room of possibilities to become real.

Often listening needs courage to say nothing. Our urge to talk is to a high degree compulsive. It is like a force wanting to beak free. By talking we basicly interrupt the other one. By listening we create a room letting the other come forward.

This is my main point to level criticism at those many channellings - they rather talk than listen. Would it be bad if a medium is asking for a break in order to listen? Is it bad if a channelled entity aknowledged the value of listening rather than permanent talking thus finding it`s better to shut up for a while?

Finally I have to admit that I have no general system of values I prefer in evaluating humans. But surely I would look whether a person is able to listen if I had to evaluate certain people...

I do not judge I experience. This is what I have seen. If you are different than the one whose life I am about to influence again than I suggest that you follow the advise and suggestions of the individuals you are counseling. Take no notes, no recordings and just listen, do not even suggest hints at what the individual needs to do, they know it already. Also do not take orders from a corporate office to do your counseling that may lead you to finding someone with my abilities. All parties except this man that influenced aspects of my life have quit, been fired, or retired. He is next. I plan to take away his license. He broke professional protocol, I hope that you do not do this to anyone. Or the judged will return their own judgement. My brain does not think in insulting or judging, every thing I say, write, and do is determined to create a response. They are nothing but whims.

Yep. They hide in their boots and within their mind judge how others should act based on the view of yet another individual. They do not listen nor care for the wellfare of others. They are a cost to the economy and a drain to the society. They do not even get dirty in the mud while the boots do. They sweat, get fungus, and are downright displeasing. They are toe nails, worse than my even most nastiest thought. Their toenails are like they are, an excuse of an attempt to hold a job that helps the people. Counselors help corporations to tear down people and downright insult them. They are not needed. This is my opinion.

Do you know the most dirty parts of humans?

Their toe nails.

I believe that counselor's are not listening individuals and are like toe nails.

Once in a while you have to trim them down.

Awesome wisdom share! I can certainly relate with this.....people have accused me of having diarrhea of the keyboard because I type such wordy replies...I am trying to squelch that tendancy some, as I would be better off just listening sometimes and saving my comments from the hapless captive audience of the forum. This is a wonderful post....And I have to totally agree that the dirtiest part of a human is indeed thoughts, lol. So very true. The end, lol.
