Being Mindful of Full Minds
February 7, 2017
A full mind may be less capable of making inferences or filling in gaps.
A mind that is full is too distracted from what is happening in "real time" outside of its ever jabbering thought processes to make connections that may be obvious to another mind, that is emptier.
When we communicate with others, be mindful of how full their minds may be.
If the individual appears to have a very full mind, then we may want to be VERY SPECIFIC in what we are attempting to express. Otherwise, we may experience communication breakdowns, resulting in unnecessary frustration, for both parties.
The less full the mind, the less specificity is necessary.
The more present the mind is...well...sometimes a look is enough--when a mind is empty, it can receive the gifts of the NOW.
Presence is the gift, the presents come through presence--awareness. A mind that is empty is ready to receive.
No judgement--a person with a full mind isn't "bad"; and empty mind isn't "good". They are different.
Full minds require more detail from the communicator; those details help crowd out the noise enough that they may see what we're expressing with greater clarity.
Individuals with full minds help us practice detailed communication. Yay!
Individuals with empty minds help us practice being present. Yay!
So much slack everywhere. SO MUCH SLACK!!!!
