heartfelt evaluation and by trusting your listeners to be gentle, to hear that
which you intended them to hear, and to add no more.<SPAN

risk that your intention will not be perceived accurately.<SPAN

</SPAN>Clear communication requires, first, that you understand yourself.<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You understand the reasons behind it
which requires, again, an understanding of yourself and from whence you have
come.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Next, clear communication
will require the unknown quantity in dealing with your listener, the one or ones
for whom your communication is intended.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>If it is clear, and you say exactly that which you mean to say, it might
bring a variety of reactions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If
your listener does not have self-awareness, a desire to be self aware,
connection to—to use the term from last week—“the Great Conductor,” then they
may completely misperceive your intention, despite your clarity.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For they bring to the party their
background, their filters, their desire to hear or not, and so forth.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As you think about this you may begin to
understand what we perceive as we observe Urantian communication.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are wide gaps between the hearts
of those involved and the outcomes.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
