Communication

I am starting to see that most all our dishonesty can be seen in our starting point of communication
When we want to communicate with another, or even when we do not want to communicate with another.

This to me has been the practical part of what we are doing.
There is also self communication, when we talk to ourselfs
Like try to figure out something or are going around and around in our head with self judgment or blame.
But the outward act of communicating to another is very revealing to what is going on inside of us and it is also an "action" that we take.

It is fascinating really.

If you can stop yourself before you talk to someone, you can ask yourself why am I going to say this to this person.
What do I want to get out of this conversation or words that I am going to say.
Sometimes it is practical things. Like I am going to the store do you want anything, or what should we have for supper.

But what about all those other times?
This goes along with what Dimensional Diary's have been talking about really.
And it is also about being the living words.
This goes with posting as well because it is also communication.

What is the starting point of a post, what are we looking to get out of it.
Even what is the starting point of not wanting to post.
So the action part of practical application is in how and why we communicate with another.
Or how and why we will not communicate with another

What is the starting point of that "reason"?
But what is fascinating to me is that all this process is really about
self honest "communication" with others.
lol

Because that will develop self honesty within ourselves
All this has been said, this is just another perspective that came to me.
If I can slow myself down before I communicate and ask myself why and what I want to get out of it, I can see myself.

Is it for validation
Is is for manipulation
Is it for self expression
