Relationships are developed by communication. And therefore we must first review the science of communication.
We are all linked together in some sort of a magnetic symphony. In fact all creation is linked to each other in the same fashion. The all inclusive Nature exists in multi-dimensions. And the various links originate from the core of each created form. It is this link that allows communication between various members of the same kingdom or at an advanced level, between members of other kingdoms.
This then is the basis of limitless relationship potential that exists for human beings to explore, understand and then assimilate. Communication is then the way of creating such relationships and maintaining the link alive, healthy and strong. Obviously at the coarser level there are a lot of interferences from external sources and therefore the communication is not always clear and precise.
On the emotional level communication is hindered by our emotional hang-ups, likes dislikes, lack of discipline, and polluted environment. On the mental level, the obstructions are due to prejudices, our mental capacity and development, hate, fanaticism, separativeness, selfishness, material attachments and many other qualities that we inherit, develop and absorb due to our ignorance.
It is possible that the objects that we presume are inanimate, also communicate. For example, the spread of diseases in the plants are easily spread to a vast area, even though the infection is initially in a particular tree. Another example is that of a cell that refuses to cooperate with the body organ and becomes a tumor. Later this tumor become cancerous and has to be eliminated. This is mostly because the cell refuses to communicate with others and therefore does not get adequate and total nourishment.
And we can think of many other examples to illustrate that communication is essential from the micro level to the macro level. There are human beings who have made tremendous efforts to discover and establish communication between the micro-organism and the macro-organism.
Such ability requires lots of efforts and can be achieved by the spiritually advanced members of humanity.
There are examples of human beings that can communicate with birds and other animals. And the animals themselves communicate with each other during times of danger, by making sounds and with their body movements.
Another interesting observation is that animals and birds are able to ‘learn’ many activities. For example, your pet knows how to get in and out of the house; or the bird knows how to get its food that is apparently hidden. We dismiss such behaviors as animal antics. But in reality it shows a tremendous ability that is developed due to repetitions and curiosity.
The great personalities in human history, such as Buddha, Christ, Moses, Socrates, Plato and many others, created a wealth of written philosophies that were meant to wake up the communicative abilities. These great ones knew that the communication is not limited to our physical existence. There is emotional and mental communication also. And just as a child starts out by learning the basics of talking and writing, so also the growing being has to discover ways and means to develop emotionally and mentally.
The lack of such development is evidence of discontent, misery, suffering, wars, pestilence, starvation, criminal activities and corruption of morals.
Communication is hindered not by the lack of proper mechanism, though it does play a part in the process; the flow of information, feelings and mental thought is often not clear or the other person to whom we are speaking may not be open to what we say, or we shut off, create a barrier between our own being and others. Further the power to communicate means to have a two-way flow of insights, understanding, and appreciation. All that can also be blocked.
That is why Great Sages and Saints did not instruct by telling people. They were so wise that they found a method of creating the flow of their philosophies through inter-active methods. For example, in The Republic by Plato and the discourses of Socrates we can see the ingenious framing of questions to the student by which the student through introspection was able to arrive at the right answer and this resulted in the student’s increased consciousness and wisdom.
Today, we live in a world in which communication is at the forefront of our livingness and beingness. But this is often limited to verbal communication, which has its own limitations. For example, such communication depends upon the health, environment, emotional stability, mental acuteness and external influences. We sometimes use the wrong choice of words, or improper enunciation or that our communication is with words that have a different meaning to the listener.
