Communication is Outsourcing Responsibility?

[Keryo Koffa]

Every time I want to send a message or start a post, I am overcome with the feeling that I'm throwing some info out there into the world in order not to have to resolve it myself. Whether its a meditation idea, a philosophical notion, a motivated experiential drive, to write about it feels like I'm deliberately indulging in self-doubt instead of just doing it myself right here and now.

I can see how from a higher perspectives that integrated lower, this role reverse and one learns from interacting with the world and seeing oneself in others, which are proxies to different aspects of oneself and interacting with oneself and helping a different self on the way, while becoming more whole.

But I am on the path still, and my need for self-assertion is fading, I can see posts and others as aspects of myself more, and don't need to throw the base proxy of my own ego into the mix. I see ever more directly how much I project. I can also see how by letting go of ideas and old notions, I'm really just uniting them with the greater self, the world and the void from which I took them and attached myself onto. There's infinite things that are part of me, but I am even without any of them.

Communication manifests in infinite ways. Despite that, we tend to take communication for granted.
 

Examples:

• journalling about a very vulnerable experience
• coughing when you’re sick
• recovering from an illness
• responding to someone who’s pissing you off by trying to piss them off back
• avoiding talking to someone you’re attracted to
• approaching someone you didn’t expect to approach
• having a mystical experience after discovering the death of a loved one
• a breakup

Conscious communication is key. It’s not about communicating in the “right” way based on strict expectations (e.g. from spiritual beliefs). Set those rules aside. It’s more to do with communicating authentically, intuitively, and holistically.
