WE ARE GOOD LISTENERS
Teacher: “Dear child, our morning time together is so meaningful to all of us. It is the time you dedicate daily to get some valuable orientation for your day. It is so important to set daily intentions and to consciously activate your awareness at the beginning of each new experiential day.
“A well run organization holds many such meetings. Its staff gets together in order to issue some progress reports and to discuss weak areas—areas in need of improvement in order to progress towards the company’s mission statement. Without such periodic evaluations, much precious time could be squandered by allowing disharmonious elements to get rooted in the organization.
“Watchfulness is a much needed element from the part of the heads of the organization so as to retain a handle as well as maintain a hands-on attitude about what is happening within their company. All the staff shares the same intentions and works toward the same common goal—to have a successful association that rewards each individual for their performance and loyalty to the common goal. This is how success comes about—by concerted and harmonious efforts.
“Our morning get-together is what sets the tone for your day. By coming to us before you reenter your active life; you open your mind and your heart for our loving input and influences. By asking, you receive. We listen to what you share with us from the authentic core of your being and we help you in that process. We are great listeners as we know that it is a prerequisite to understand you. How could we claim to be of assistance to you, if we were not privy to your inner world? This is why the ability to listen at all levels is so primordial in helping one another. Good listeners do not immediately jump to conclusions. Good listeners take time to process the information revealed to them. By not interrupting, they ensure that the person sharing his/her heart is fully able to do so.
“They can then suggest an action plan. A good doctor listens to the data provided by his patient. He then observes the functions of the physical body in order to pinpoint more accurately the area in need of healing. A generic advice would not be sufficient to address the individuality of the patient. His family history is of great importance too in the establishment of a correct diagnosis.
“We listen to our human charges with the same attitude of wanting to understand them. We cannot walk in your shoes. Yet, we can feel compassion and empathy for your life and we can also pull from our own experiential data in order to provide you with sound advice. This process may take time. Yet, once you initiate it by your asking, we answer—we get back to you one way or another. Whenever an answer comes forth, you truly feel enlightened and happy as another grey area has been dissolved by the light of truth and understanding.”
