The Value of Listening | Steve Beckow



By Steve Beckow, August 29, 2021

(Golden Age of Gaia)

I need to take my mind off what’s happening in the world, which feels so saddening.

So, as I mentioned yesterday, I’m revisiting and revising my book of articles on listening as a useful but remedial exercise.

Since listening is a big part of what we’ll be doing as soon as the major announcements come out, I regard improving listening skills as important.

I’m also at work on a “manual” on listening, which will go more deeply into what to listen for, do’s and don’t’s, etc.

Introduction



All of us hear of the great orators of our times – Lincoln, Churchill, Gandhi, etc.,

But who hears of the great listeners?

Listening is something we may not do a great deal of but expect to get a great deal of. Many of us may not have tried really deep listening.

It’s the hidden treasure which I think will make many relationships work (the other missing ingredient being real love). (1)

When we listen to another, what we’re doing is allowing them to put all their cards on the table. They get to see the whole picture. Only by seeing the whole picture, are they enabled to see what’s driving themselves and others, make the right decision, respond effectively, etc.

We mimic the process of realization. What takes us time, bliss gives us instantaneously: elevation.

Listening offers the time needed to see the whole picture; bliss elevates us all at once and allows us to see it from height.

Bliss is the turbotrain and listening … well, it’s not quite as quick, but it gets the job done.

But, until we live in the bliss of the higher dimensions, it’s what we’ve got to help extricate each other from confusion and suffering.

I’ve tried to eliminate the repetition in these articles. Sometimes I’d lose the meaning if I did.

As a Sociology grad student who stumbled on listening when others were not buying his therapeutic solutions, I thought I had fallen upon the universal curative.

I’ve expanded my horizons a little since then (I hear that med beds will even cure the vasanas or the suffering caused by core issues that often drive our need for listening).

But I still regard good listening skills as essential in work and relationship.

With that, enjoy yourself experimenting with your own listening. I’ll soon be posting a “manual” on listening which will tell you a lot of things you could be listening for.

After Ascension, these books will be superfluous. We’ll be able to read each other’s aura and there won’t be a need for us to listen to know what each other’s truth is. Our work concerns the time between now and then.
