A Creative Process

Most people don’t know how to communicate. We share information, sometimes in very sophisticated ways, but we don’t really communicate. Real communication is a creative process. Human beings evolve only through interaction, so enlightened communication means engaging in a developmental process at the top level of our consciousness. Enlightened communication can occur in a disciplined, controlled context, where the content of the dialogue is kept in the realm of the impersonal. If you hold yourself and other participants to the biggest philosophical and spiritual concepts, without swerving into abstractions or deviating into personal matters, you will discover that the liberating depth and clarity of the Authentic Self will spontaneously emerge. The instant you or anyone else becomes too abstract or personal, this new context that you have created together in consciousness will disappear, the evolutionary tension will dissipate, and you’ll lose touch with the Authentic Self. But if you diligently avoid mere opinions, theoretical abstractions and the personal dimension, your words will become one with the inspired passion, focused intensity and evolutionary tension emanating from the Authentic Self. Once you become grounded in the Authentic Self, you will be clear enough to be able to slowly widen the content of the dialogue to embrace all of your humanity, including every aspect of the personal domain, without swerving from a truly enlightened perspective. Enlightened Communication is communication beyond ego.
