JANU: We are summoning up that which pertains to your query on models of communication: the use of words, verbal speech, and the graphical representation of such. When relying upon one form of communication, or identification, the faculties for alternatives grow weaker, leaving one limited to the effectiveness of that communication or identifiers. A human being is a human being, no matter what it is identified with or as.
So how does one relate to and understand a part of life unnamed, but exists just the same? And how does one recognize or identify a part of life observed for the first time, and nameless? This speaks to the powers of perception and the range of consciousness that can appreciate a first encounter. So much of recognition is based upon memory, past experience, so much so that identification is compared to these and that which is recognized is similar.
So how does one observe that which is unique, for the first time? It comes through experiencing the nature of that observed, touching it with your consciousness, with no requirements for the character of performance. Such it is, our brother, when being exposed to a new understanding, such as we have accomplished, that is unique to the experience and the memory. When we begin each journey, the very beginning of the understanding and the path to be taken is like this. The words are secondary to this.
But what of unique experience that words do not describe? This is in the direction of ‘direct knowing,’ pure insight. Can you know a thing without words? And you ask, “Why would one care?” Because, our brother, there is so much to understand that words cannot describe. The source, the origination of a mother’s love for a child is beyond words. Many patterns of life are such. They are understood through intimacy of experience.
You ask, “How does one who understands this experience convey it to another?” Words are a beginning, but they are not the experience. There is a reality of touch between beings, not physical but in consciousness, not verbal or graphical but the intimacy of connection. When one looks at another in a caring moment and understands, they experience the life pattern of another and they understand. No words were needed. You observe an animal and its behavior, but more than this, you experience a moment of what is living within, what their experience is, and you get a glimpse of their life pattern. Words are useful, our brother, but don’t let them get in the way.
