Consciousness and Communication on the Planet

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my first blog. I would love to hear any responses you might have. My goal is to forward consciousness and communication on the planet.

Do you realise that language is only about 40000 years old for humans? Before language our ancestors would grunt and use gestures or non-verbal communication. Some researchers even say that non-verbal communication still conveys the bulk of the message.

Some of the figures floated suggest that only 7% of the meaning of communication comes through words. 38% of the meaning of communication comes through the tone of our voice and 55% through our body language.

You don’t believe me? Imagine someone growling at you with a scowl on their face “Yes I am happy!” What are you going to believe?

Consider then that we created words and language. We decided what was important. The Eskimos for example have over 70 words for snow. We in Bathurst Australia have only a few.

The words and concepts ‘right’ and ‘wrong ‘ have been very important in our history and development. And a new model of communication is being developed where ‘there is no right or wrong – just different’. I can very clearly remember being instructed in this when we hosted teenagers from other countries.

Moving away from blaming others is a big step for many of us. Yet it is important if we are all to work and live together in harmony.

If what I have said is of interest to you might like to focus on the distinction GENEROSITY for the coming week and do the following activities.



Generosity
Take on listening for what people are committed to. Listen beyond their words and hear what deeply motivates them.
Take on being Generous in your listening of others even when you don’t want to or disagree with them.

Take on being Generous with yourself, notice what new openings for action occur and what results did you produce by doing this.

Practice being Generous during your conversations with people today/tonight. What does this provide for yourself and for team?


Actively bring the distinction Generosity to your conversations for relatedness.

Create 2 practices to take into your life using the distinction Generosity.

What does it look like who you are being is Generous , what does this provide for you, your life and others.

Distinguish how being Generous makes a difference when you are stopped during in life and share how this will make a difference in your life.

Write on the blog and let me know what you have created.
Till next week
Ciao
