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...

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.
I`m about to prepare for supper. I cooked rice and mushrooms...
Do you know the most dirty parts of humans? His toe nails?No! His thoughs...
