The masculine feminine...

The masculine feminine interplay in relationships. If you are with a partner who has a masculine essence or masculine sexual essence as most men do then to communicate with that person it will be more effective to use requests or statements of your needs and an implied way which they can help you with that need rather than command as to what you ultimately want to happen because the masculine energy is that energy of a command of direction and in the intraportive(?) masculine and feminine it's like magnets. You also don't want to be speaking to your woman with a feminine sexual essence and ask... listen

Life is either adventurous or simple...

2008-04-07T12:17:00.001-07:00

The way I see it, your life is either more adventurous or more simple. Generally, the more exciting you want your life to be, the more of variety to want there to be in your life, the more you're going to have to deal with more complexity and that's just natural. Now, organizational systems will help you to manage the complexity so that it leads you into overwhelming. But beware that if you want to have an exciting diverse life, it's going to be more complex. If you want more simplicity, it's going to be less exciting.

I'm thankful for difficult people...

2008-03-22T14:12:00.001-07:00

Remember that in your difficult circumstances in communications with other people, there is an immeasurable opportunity to grow and learn to become a better communicator and more compassionate person. So when somebody with whom you come in contact is having a bad day, remember that at some point in life, you have probably acted in the same way. Find gratitude for the opportunity to grow and remember not to take anything personally and just have compassion.

In intimate relationship,...

2008-03-09T09:04:00.001-07:00

In intimate relationship, really in all relationship. It crucially important to recognize our own and the other person's individuality, their independence, even within the interdependence synergy that we seek to create.

There is an individuality, which must never be given up, because if that is given up then your relationship becomes entirely co-dependent. If that is given up then you no longer have the capacity to be seperate. Neither of you are whole any longer.

This is the conception that we have about our selves when we lose our individuality. This is a point of view, a box that we put our selves and our partners, parents and friends into. We need to be aware of this, and we need to let go of it and see our selves as the individuals that we are.

This then allows us to be truer to ourselves and everyone else as well. We become more useful and enjoyable for ourselves and everyone else. We become authentic.

Empathic listening...

2008-03-07T19:47:00.001-08:00

Stephen Covey talks about empathic listening in his 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. He says one of the habit is seek first to understand than to be understood. Well, if that's true and it is, the best way to do that is to listen and empathic listening is the best listening we can do. Really hearing the thoughts and the feelings of another person, listening with both sides of your brain. And he says that the way to do this is to reflect the thoughts and the feelings back to the person for each statement that they make.

Know your purpose in...

2008-03-07T15:11:00.001-08:00

Know your purpose in any moment. It's surprising that we don't realize that we always have a purpose. We're always up riding(?) under some purpose. If for example were on our way home, our purpose is to get home. If we have a headache, our purpose is to feel better. In fact, most of the time, people are operating(?) under the purpose of feeling better than they do right now. Alleviating some emotional pain, alleviating some physical pain, alleviating some mental anguish, something. So bring a conscious awareness to the purpose you're operating under and be extremely empowering. listen
