Everyone touts the importance of communication. There are classes taught in how to communicate to your children, to your spouse, your customer, your boss, your employee, the bill collector. Communication classes teach you to set yourself aside a moment, but even so communication has often become self-serving. It is self-serving when you communicate with an end in sight. There may well be profit to all parties, yet communication preconceived isn't communication. Communicating isn't meant to be a smart way to get what you want.
Often you are taught listening skills that you do not practice by people who do not listen. The intrinsic value of communication lies more than in what is communicated.
One heart connects with another. That is communication. One soul speaks to another. That is communication. Communication is truly a willing compassion. It may be an awareness that you do not always best represent yourselves adequately, but would like to. Communication is wanting to sit closer to another and be truthful. All the techniques in the world, as helpful as they may be, do not take the place of the willing heart that wants to hear another's.
If minds were innocent, there would be no customers for classes in communication skills. But your mind is on and off, tracking the past and future. You forget that in front of you is a child of God who bears listening to. Let him finish his sentence. Let him open his heart. Let your heart welcome his.
Now let's speak of the communication between you and between Me. There is no better listener than I. There is no one more willing than I. But I am not like your audience in a front row listening to your speech. I will listen carefully, but I am the One bent closely to your ear. I am the One listening fully to your heart independent of your words. I am the One Who looks deeply into your eyes and sees beyond what you see. And then We see together, for We reach a meeting place where Our eyes match, and We share the same vision. You see My gaze quivering your heart, and now you gaze upon the assembly of hearts in the universe, and you soothe their trembling.
Communication is not a meeting of minds. It is an exposure of hearts.
Bare your heart to Me. Bare your heart to yourself. Once you bare your heart to yourself, you have burst the steel bands that held you prisoner. Once bound, you become unbound. Boundless, you free others. What is communicating but breaking the bounds? Get out of bounds. You who are an unlimited Being are not meant to be limited. Unlimit your heart now.
Let Us communicate silently, you and I, right now without speech. Just feel the embrace of My presence. Feel My heart moving closer to yours. Feel yours moving closer to Mine. Feel the Oneness of Our hearts. The truth is that you are always in My heart. Unbounded, you are bound to My heart. My heart is everywhere, and My heart holds everyone and everything. Therefore, My heart is unlimited. I am trying to communicate to you that your heart is the same unlimited, boundless, rising all-pervading glory as Mine.
