Subject: “Listening and Understanding.”

Received by Lytske.

The Beloved One: “Even thought we have broached the important subject of listening before, it will be useful to revisit this art once again, as true listening is so very seldom engaged in on this planet. Mortals are often too quick to formulate answers in their minds, so important parts of the conversation escape them.

“True listening is an art, which can be learned when both heart and mind are engaged at the same deep level of understanding, and I add that understanding is part and parcel of listening.

“I desire for you to engage in this art when conversing with others as there may be deeper levels of expression to be understood, which may give more insight, so this exercise of listening will have greater meaning.

“Remember that in listening the self must take a back seat, and it is the level of engagement with others that must be considered foremost. There is so much to learn and understand, therefore to listen intently is a worthy exercise to engage in for it to eventually become a most desirable and valuable habit.

“You know from experience how it is when someone else gives you her or his undivided attention when you speak, and how you feel valued as a person and worthy of their attention.

“In these modern, busy times, there is a great need to value people by giving them the attention they both require and deserve. The opposite so often happens, and so many humans feel ignored, even unworthy to be heard and understood.

“It is my hope that this short lesson on listening has given you the insight for a different take on this very important subject.”
