Understanding enables us to travel beyond the constraints of
assumption and perception.
In our desire to find Understanding we are seeking to find meaning
and we open ourselves to this possibility.
Developing meaning in life is not just a mental process… it is not
simply a question of thought. A genuine evaluation of any situation
will involve not only the way that we and others think about
something, but also the way that we both feel. We must be available
to listen to both mind and emotion.
When we listen to life through our logical thinking, we are engaging
with the intelligence of our mind. When we listen to life through our
emotions, we are engaging with the intelligence of our heart.
We need both, not one at the expense of the other.
The presence of our emotional voice in collaboration with reflective,
considered thought, creates opportunity not only to hear and
appreciate the position and viewpoint of someone else, but also to
reach an understanding of our own position and present this with a
willingness that overcomes differences and bridges any gaps of
misunderstanding.
Understanding is a dynamic and expansive state of being.
Fueled by respect, Understanding expands our consciousness,
taking our external vision and awareness into new territory, whilst
simultaneously deepening our inner vision and insight.
