BEAUTY NEEDS A WITNESS…UNDERSTANDING HER & HIM 

By Joseph P. Faust, Founder LoveLife University

 

She is beautiful. He notices. BEAUTY, MEET CONSCIOUSNESS. Beauty needs a witness. Life is to be celebrated.

 

Understand her? Understand him? People have a desire to be understood. Is it possible…to fully understand her or him? People are complex. There is so much to us. We are miracles.

 

UNDERSTANDING A PERSON can be different than, UNDERSTANDING WHAT A PERSON IS EXPERIENCING.

 

We all have…

desires, needs, values, beliefs, fears, hopes, and dreams.

And, we have assumptions, expectations, filters, agreements, perspectives, and experience.

So, fully understanding a person is a complex process.

And, empathy is difficult to achieve, and compassion difficult to communicate – through text or email.

In-person, communication is often needed for complex relational dynamics, especially after misunderstandings have occurred, and feelings hurt.

In-person, understanding how someone is feeling, can be simpler…

it’s a matter of EMPATHY for another’s perspective,

and being fully-open to sharing in AND INTO

the feeling-space, that is present.

 

And, sharing the point-of-view,

perspective, viewpoint, that another is PRESENT TO.

 

So, understanding is more than conceptual,

it’s also a sharing of an energy-feeling experience.

 

Getting someone’s CONTEXT (their current-feeling-thought-perspective on reality) is key to understanding.

 

Part of UNDERSTANDING SOMEONE’S CONTEXT is having the INTENTION

and ability TO BE WITH underlying factors…

such as the other person’s BELIEFS, VALUES, INTERPRETATIONS, FEELINGS, and ASSUMPTIONS.

 

When we get what someone’s DESIRES & GOALS are,

their level of empowerment – to shape their life,

and their PERCEIVED OPTIONS (DETERMINED BY THEIR BELIEFS), we begin to understand what they hope for.

 

Is there a desire to repair, repeat, transform or grow?

 

“Relationships grow…when we INVEST in ourselves, and others.”
