The ‘Art’ of Conversation.

Have you heard conversation referred to as ‘Art’?  And it is our creativity at its very best.

To Be human is to create, and our brain is the size it is for our creativity, and particularly our creation of our speech.

It is a true game of skill to enable another’s creativity for their benefit, while enhancing our own verbal time with another, so that we bring into reality, that which we ourselves wish to create. Hence the term, the ‘Art of Conversation.’ To ‘make’ something come to the mind of another, for their sharing. 🙂

I use the term ‘verbal table tennis’ for that all too common question and answer habit, stemming from ignorance, that disables our own creative ability with our words, and distracts us from the very point of speech. But this isn’t conversation…

And Present moment sharing, is putting a voice to what comes to mind ‘to share’.  This can come from a zen state, a thoughtless space, a mindless space, and is not the space we need to enter into to retrieve something from our ‘data files’, via the mind, as when to answer a question.  This isn’t conversation either…

‘Conversation’ on the other hand IS a creation. Removing us from just the Present moment, yes, as need be, for examples and explanation, or as our creativity requires of it, but it is our own creation all the same.

Direct questioning, or direct answering of one another, is not, and is where we are giving our focus, intent and creativity completely away.  In ‘conversation’ – an invention of ours – we are still not designed to be asking questions of one another, unless invited to do so on a topic.

The true art of conversation involves the skill of bringing to the mind of your listener, for their sharing, what it is you wish to hear or learn of, or have them share with you, for their pleasure.  This is a skill.  Or maybe you only wish to keep them near you, for their vibe or pleasure you get from looking at them, but want them to enjoy time spent with you.

Questioning one another directly as though we are encyclopedias, is ‘lost’ behavior, 😉 symptomatic of our creativity gone wrong, from where we enabled those with authority greater power of questioning, so it began to be something desired, to seem to hold a greater respect, or higher position in society.

We are vast and we are magnificent, and we are designed to be completely in the driver seat of where our consciousness is directed, as we direct it.

What we think of or focus on, is where our creative power goes for that moment. To be able to control the attention of another, their consciousness, their entire creative ability, is an honor and privilege.

It is a true game of skill to enable another’s creativity for their benefit, while enhancing our own verbal time with another, so that we bring into reality, that which we ourselves wish to create.
Hence the term, the ‘Art of Conversation.’ 🙂

About C'mon Be a Human Already!

Lover of life, love, joy and music and all that brings clarity to a planet in need. Author, transformative/self mastery educator, sound healer, & singer songwriter. I am particularly interested in all languages, history, bringing an understanding to and mastery of, our feelings and thoughts; helping people attain inner peace; healthy sexual expression, development of consciousness, and in so doing, bringing a balance of our true selves operating in harmony on earth. I can provide the answers, my life has given me this. We have just gone off course. ;) I was born into a living hell, where I was not allowed to speak -even to learn how- and I needed to employ military survival tactics as a toddler just to get around the house unharmed.;) I was forced to figure out life, or I was not going to survive, and I did so with completely unbiased eyes, as I could trust nothing that I was told by family who intended me harm. I started meditating in early childhood as just a natural instinct to run away as far as I could, behind my eyes . Figuring out what had caused my mother not to possess any natural maternal instinct, and why she couldn' t love me, enabled me much insight and gave cause for intense, undistracted research. Now it has been given the name Antisocial Personality Disorder/Narcissism/Sociopathy, but as her cruelty and control disorder were always accompanied by historical rules, orders, sayings and beliefs, I learned much of the 'knowledge' leading our species astray at the time. I wanted to be the best Human Being I could Be, and I wanted to know how. I ran away at 5 years old, with my 8 year old brother asking to come with me, but, having no where to go, I sat at the corner sweet shop realising this and returned in secret, unpacking my little case to 'stick it out'. So, living within her cruel, ignorant ways, while secretly studying what life was really all about, I noticed my life as a microcosm of what was happening large scale across the globe, which inspired me to share what I learned. : ) Many Blessings to you on your journey!
