The emotional body – this influence upon communication is oftentimes extraordinary, for it delivers to another extraordinary need. It is the emotional body that creates the likelihood of faulty thinking, for all thinking is based in emotion, whether the self likes or dislikes that which is being addressed in the moment. The emotional attachment to any thing, person, results in belief that, of course, is found to be faulty when examined closely, for the belief was founded upon emotion – that which can never see clearly; rather, the issue at hand is seen through the rose-colored glasses. The self’s attachment to a person, place or thing creates the likelihood that the belief will be unsound. Emotion is present within communication, informing the other of the self’s desire to be left alone or the self’s deep need to be loved. It is the emotional body that creates the wall - that which may be identified as a wall of defense and protection, to prohibit others from damaging the self. Communication is impeded, interfered with by emotion - fear that the self will be damaged if the self shares too deeply, if the self provides information that is regarded as detrimental - that may pose jeopardy to the self by drawing forth judgment of another.

It is to recognize that confusion is the goal of the emotional body; confused thinking results in the self’s inability to convey the thoughts so that the self may be understood. It is important for the individual that maintains an emotional communication style to pause, to make connection with the heart and the mind prior to speaking and to ask the other if the self has been understood and, indeed if the self has understood the other. It is the influence of the emotional body that seeks immediate response that provides the same reply again and again and again. The self that becomes cognizant of this influence will listen and will ask, “Do I understand what you have just shared with me? This is what I understand.” Hesitation is critical to the individual whose communication is influenced by the emotional body. Am I understood?

It is Barbed communication that enables the self to easily identify the student of this lesson plan – the individual described by our sister (Student) earlier was an obvious candidate for this communication style; it is to diminish all that are spoken to, it is to put in their proper place all that have been judged to be inferior – which will be a majority of others that are not like the self.

It is important for each to make the recognition that the mind is indeed programmed and that the programming is tied to the communication style. The individual need identify the physical, the emotional or the mental body, to recognize the influence of these bodies upon the mind.

The physical body influences communication in ways that are difficult to separate from ways of being, the personality; it is the animation of the self – the movements of the hands, the body itself, when the self is attempting to communicate with another. It is the decibel level of the voice – very loud or very low. It is the sound track of the voice – the chuckle or one of anger. It is the energy of the physical body that is communicated to another; these energies are placed behind the words, often to the dismay of the individual that is communicating. They are often misinterpreted by the other, for these energies are unrefined, shall we say. The physical body, the energies of the physical body, when placed behind the words, often cause the other to be repelled or drawn to the speaker. As is well known, it is like energies that repel and those energies that are different that attract. To expand upon this thinking as it is rather contrary to that which is commonly accepted, that “likes attract”, it is to state that one who is positive shall draw to the self one that is negative; that one that is positive shall be repelled by another who is positive, for the other will assume that the positivity is false.

It is to make the recognition that communication is critical to relationship with the self as well as with others.

I shall now focus upon the communication style that is influenced by the mental body. This individual is capable of conveying information to another in a fashion that is ensured to provide that which is needed so that each may understand each. The desire of the individual to be understood becomes far more important later in the life, for the self determines that often the penalty is too great when the self shares too openly with another; rather, the mind is being utilized to observe the other to gain the upper hand, to understand the weakness as well as the strength in the other, which is often regarded as the opponent. The individual with the mental communication style often seeks to be recognized as better than, as more intelligent, as preferred above the rest…all others. The mental body fails to recognize the existence of the physical and the emotional bodies - it fails to make connection with the other in a way other than to size up the opposition, to recognize whether the other need be befriended, for their strength has been noted as equal to the self’s, or discarded, for their weakness renders them of little value to the self. It is to draw forth the physical and the emotional that is needed for the mental communicator, to purposefully make connection with the other, counseling the self that all others are not the opponent; rather, they are that which is needed by the self, so that the self can learn to communicate genuinely, utilizing the physical and the emotional bodies.

It is to recognize my brother (Loereve), that communication is also verbal and that it is this skill that you sought to hone in this lifetime. To communicate with the heart was your skill in previous lifetimes through touch - the hands that were laid upon another, healed due to the love that was easily drawn forth from the heart. The heart has been shielded, encumbered greatly by the ego that was born out of the need to defend and to protect the self, for others abused one who was so openhearted. It is to recognize that the heart can also inform the self of another who seeks to take advantage of the self. It was the ego that encouraged you to allow these abuses; it is this that you must learn my brother – the heart is open to all experience but the lesson need be learned that there will always be humans that are present, drawn into your sphere, that have yet to learn the lesson to honor and to respect others.

Recognition that one can remain openhearted and not allow another to take advantage of the self is necessary. Focusing upon the heart, when you are prepared to do so, inform the heart that you are no longer in need of defense or protection – that you have experienced sufficiently, that you shall seek guidance from others who can aid you in identifying those individuals who seek to damage; that you shall banish the ego – that which seeks food, energies, in an attempt to fill the self – the yawning gaping hole that seeks the love of another as the beloved but ignores the love that the self has garnered from others. The inner Teacher will guide you in freeing the heart from its bondage. It is the mind that fills in the hole that has been widened with each individual that has taken advantage of the self; you have learned the lesson, for you hold no grudge against another. It is now time for you to teach those who present the self to you, in hope that the self can garner what the self desires from you without recompense.

It is important for the student to recognize that when the self is not understood, it is indeed the fault of the self; for the self has determined that the other is unworthy of explanation, that the other should understand the self, or the self should care enough to ask the question that has resulted - the lack of the answer has resulted in misunderstanding.
