Can you flow with me?

Meenakshi said Jan 5, 4:38 AM:

 

One of the amazing gifts of an online communication is the flow that it provides us. I  can't REALLY know the other person beyond what hän is writing or not writing at a moment; and what I understand or assume from that. It is only through the quality of interaction that we can get to know each other.

At first glance, this seems contrary to conventional wisdom which dictates that we use all that we know about a person when interacting with  them, so that we can maximise our interaction.

However, if we can allow ourselves to use this gift, it actually will allow us to use all that we know, which is: very little for sure, and a lot that is evolving. As they say, the more we know, the more we realize how little we know. AND that when I assume, I make an ASS of U and ME. [The same when u assume, I guess!!!]

We don't REALLY know the other person. So, we can take the other to be whatever hän is presenting to us with the post that we are reading. That allows the other person to explore different ways of interacting. It also allows us to do the same.

We are here, on a community whose mission is stated thus:

“Our reason for being is the same as yours: to discover and realize that which we're truly meant to become, and, in doing so, to encourage and inspire others to do the same.”

As we don't fully know ourselves or the other person,  we are all becoming. As I become more fully what I am, I am unsure what it will be, and how it will seem to you. I am unsure who will read it, and with what understanding, insight, response, reaction. As you become more fully what you are, you are unsure how it will seem or be responded to, by me.

I am willing to be in awareness that I am flowing with you.
Are you willing to be in awareness that you are flowing with me?

I couldn’t resist this little reverse as its all she here but could easily be he as the words carry the dream she is performing.

Enjoying the flow of thoughts here…to start, all that is needed, is to be present with the wholeness from where you and I are writing. No need of anything else. Just in this moment, do so.

In this space, actually we dont need to add any other nom de plumes, really! Just start from wherever we are at any moment. Give ourselves that freedom to be not stuck in preconceived notions. Very difficult sometimes, a little heady, a little scary to let go the notions we feel define us.

But very freeing. And isn't that what is needed for change? Or even further, transformation?

As I worked today, Meenakshi, I was rather ecstatic with the sensation that arose with involvement in this space. I realized this flow is not a blending (as I said before) but rather reuniting , a non-action as it comes about by relinquishing the action of maintaining a segmented identity.

blessings, dear one,

It is true, Kathy, that Gaia is a community of a very unique personality.
