Once again I have been reminded of the fact that we all live subjectively, and we select out and resonate to songs, nature, whatever in idiosyncratic ways. This is great fodder for the existentialists: No one can truly rise to absolutely complete empathy with another, even if we try. While we may become truly close, yet the truth is that we live in different worlds. The miracle, the game, the celebration, is how well some of us do meet.<\/p>\n
When the rapport is good, we can perhaps love each other, and we do, overcoming the essential strangeness of a few of our roles. When there’s compatibility, in my scheme, the ratio of compatible (C) to incompatible (I) is high. (High C\/I). In situations in which loneliness and desperation are significant, people sometimes settle for far less of a ratio. A high C\/I ratio is a great blessing.<\/p>\n
The complexity of the mind is far greater than anyone, even the greatest of professors, can begin to encompass. It involves innumerable permutations and cross-influences of temperament, interests, abilities, cultural influences, and so forth. Each of the aforementioned categories in turn have innumerable gradients and sub-types. There are people who can communicate with plants and sense what they need\u2014folks who have a \u201cgreen thumb.\u201d Others do the same with animals, \u201chorse whisperers\u201d\u2014and other animals. We have no sense so far over what subtypes of sensitivity there are. We hardly know that others are really different in ways that we can\u2019t define, and often ways they can\u2019t define, too.<\/p>\n
It should be emphasized that in all likelihood a number of subtly psychic talents are also on this list, and the mainstream culture pooh-poohs this possibility. The point is that those who have been confirmed in \u201cknowing\u201d often cannot fully express how their knowing works. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
