Understanding

We are all different. Everybody sees and acknowledges each other's differences but you can't tell a book by its cover. The more differences between us, the less we understand each other. Misunderstanding leads to troubles. Most of troubles we solve in two ways: peace or war; and both need understanding. You need to understand one whom you want to be your friend and you need to understand one whom you want to defeat.

Understanding is not a simple task; it’s used to think that one can’t know the inside of a man's mind. And the problem here is the difference between us. But the problem can be overcome. Difference means separation, which is right in everyday life, but just there. There’re parts of us we all share. I don’t talk about something transpersonal like egregores now but I talk about parts of psychology we all share. Some of them can be used for telepathy but it’s not simple. There’re techniques much simpler, one of them is approximation. The idea here is changing the point of view similar to one of the man you want to understand while watching the interesting subject.

Close your eyes. You must see now something like gray screen. Now imagine the person you want to understand; the image comes from some point around you, find this point (well, you can train on other objects or people :) ) and move to it. You should notice now some change in your feelings, your perception changes to one like of the man you want to understand. If it didn’t happen you did something wrong. Now, from within this point try to look at the “gray screen” and recall the subject you want to understand. See the difference in perception?

That’s it.
