* Aaron: Learning to feel comfortable in the silence is such a blessing to realize. In your current society, so many fill up all the spaces with sound, with chatter, music, and more, and it leaves little time for contemplation. I am Aaron. Good evening, my friends.
As you think about how you communicate with others, recognize the spaces of silence accentuate the thoughts and do not need to be rushed with other thoughts. Take time to hear, to contemplate what you have heard, and to formulate responsive dialogue or interpretations that you can incorporate into meanings for yourself. While the silence may seem awkward at times, often just a bit of a pause can elicit some nugget of understanding from another that may never find expression if you are not comfortable with allowing silence to happen. Even our communication with you follows similar patterns. There is no need to rush enlightenment, no need to have the answer in an instant, but allow time for you, each of you, to formulate your thoughts, just as we formulate ours for you when you give us the time. And so it is with your friends, your family, in your professional lives, and with strangers. Sometimes taking a few extra moments to let there be silence, can bring about a completely different outcome to the circumstances you are in.
As we are recently having you feel extended periods of silence in our dialogue, we have recognized that it is sometimes awkward, but it is also necessary. There are lessons in the silence that sometimes go beyond what we can tell you. As you listen for our words and ideas shared with you, don’t ignore the silence and the thoughts and the feelings and impressions you have during those times, for we are not the only personalities and pre-personalities attempting to communicate with you.
I hope my thoughts this evening have provided some insight and contemplation for you. I am open to questions if there are any, my friends.
Q1: Thank you Aaron. As you were talking about leaving pauses during interactions with people, to allow formulations and input and maybe come to some completely different outcomes, I was thinking of some of the dynamics that I find myself at work. When pauses are allowed they are immediately jumped on and filled. There isn’t the opportunity, sometimes, to express or share. I’m not disagreeing with you. I am wondering how to better achieve both ends of remaining active in a conversation and providing pause.
* You are correct that there can be challenges in communication. One technique that can be artfully utilized is asking for your space as a preface to your communication. Initiate your desire to dialogue, followed by a pause, and then completing your thoughts. Perhaps this could work, but it is true that communication requires cooperation between personalities and some may not be inhibited from infringing on another’s space. There are human elements you must sort through yourself in your relationships to your colleagues, but perhaps finding a way to ask for it may help to open the opportunity.
Q1: That was helpful Aaron. I saw opportunities thinking back. So thank you for your guidance.
* These are difficult scenarios, at times, but I feel you have the intelligence and wisdom to negotiate and perhaps incorporate some of these thoughts with those elements.
Q2: Aaron, you used the word pre-personality and immediately I thought in terms of our Spirit Fragment as being the only pre-personality I know that I have contact with. Were you referring to the Adjuster when referring to opening up to the pre-personalities around us? I don’t know.
* Yes, my friend, I was referring to your Indwelling Spirits collectively, rather than referring to there being multiple pre-personalities trying to communicate with each of you, although when personalities share, there are moments when the Adjusters of multiple personalities communicate with each other and thus there can be some cross fertilization, as well.
Q2: It seems like there’s an opportunity there that I’m missing and I don’t know what it is.
* Just a recognition, perhaps, that those around you have their Adjusters in communication with them, but also potentially communicating with each other. Therefore if you are finding someone challenging to the extent that you feel you may not be able to get through to them, you can always place a sincere thought out to their higher self, their Adjuster, who can potentially at some point in the future, communicate your intention when that personality is more open to reception.
Q2: Thank you Aaron. I have actually sometimes prayed that a person’s Thought Adjuster could open up some sort of a communication with that person. So thank you for verifying that this actually might work and be an opportunity. Thank you very much.
* Yes, you live in a cooperative universe within cooperative universes, and thus, all work toward the goal of benefiting the whole, but also the individual, and so your sincere intentions play a part in that, as well.
(Pause)
* Yes, my friends, the silence is a fitting conclusion of my dialogue with you tonight. I appreciate your efforts to be here and present in our mission to enlighten and inspire. Thank you, each of you, for your continued commitment to the ideals set forth by our parents and administrators. We enjoy this communion with you and the higher personalities involved. Good evening.
* Daniel: Greetings, my dear friends, I am your guide and teacher Daniel. There is an element I wish to underscore that my fine colleague Aaron addressed, but in his address, he focused on the pause, on the stillness, on the opportunity to receive redirection. I wish to underscore the element of listening, listening with the intent of hearing not only the words, not only the emotion, but reaching beyond to attempt to grasp the intent, the desires of the heart, the fears, the motivators behind words that are spoken. If you can listen with this intent and then you allow the pause, communication can, indeed, be much more satisfying, more cooperative and understanding can result. You, as mortal beings, have far more in common with one another across races, gender, socioeconomic divides, demographic divides, and political divides than you are remotely aware of. Listening is about seeking to recognize these commonalities and respond from the heart, a place of love.
My friends, please know that you are valued, that your individual growth contributes to the whole. The world can only heal and progress as rapidly as its inhabitants heal and progress, and your commitment and embrace of this process is a more powerful force than you can imagine. You all do well. Be at peace.
