Communication as a bridge to the Truth

Photo by Andrew Hyslop
In a world filled with sales pitches, mass-emails, marketing campaigns, political messaging, corporate spin and sound bytes many of us have learned to be immediately skeptical of whatever we are being told.  We often assume that we are being lied to or at the very least that manipulation and coercion are being employed to get us to do, say or react in some way that we may 'regret later'.  While this may be true regarding the information we receive from unknown or untrusted sources, this does not necessarily mean that there is no way to validate or find trusted sources of information.  Additionally, there is no reason why we have to fall into this trap and get caught up in the 'spin' ourselves... but many of us do.

I have talked previously about such concepts as Unavailable Time and how to limit and filter some of the energetic bombardment - these are valuable first steps in helping you to find your own vibration in the world.  But unless you choose to permanently live 'off the grid' or on a deserted island, you will likely be faced with the challenge of connecting over this energetic gap on a regular basis.  It is your Communication that can accomplish this, making connections where chosen and 'bridging the gap.'  You can either create elaborate bridges with ornamentation and frillery or you can just 'get it done' - it is your choice.  However, if the Truth is where you are going and where you want to connect with others, then your Communication can act as that bridge or the HOW you are going to get there. 

A solicitor came to our door yesterday at dinnertime.  I opened the door and he started in on his pitch but I told him that I was having dinner with my son - he just smiled, said 'Have a good night' and went on to the next house.  After I returned to the table I thought briefly about how I could have told him that it was not a good time and that he could come back another time, etc., etc., but that would have taken away from the Truth of the statement and the feeling that went with it.  "I'm having dinner with my son" was the Truth - and he got it.  We had a nice dinner.

All the Best,
