The Roots
A foundation must always be built before the presentation of tools, as the Power of a tool lies in the understanding that precedes its use. The Power is found in The Roots.
An attempt to apply a screwdriver as a wrench will yield no postive results. So it is with the tools of Communication and Connection. Understanding yields efficacy.
The Tap Root
The most important root is the Tap Root. It is the strongest root that grows straight down, and becomes the anchor around which all of the other roots grow, and the stability of the organism is procured.
This is the Tap Root of Connection, around, and into which, all other Roots (Tools) will affix:
Negative Communication will lead to Negative (Non) Connection. Negative (Non) Connection will lead to Negative Communication. This is using a screwdriver as a wrench.
Good Communication Leads to Successful Connection-Successful Connection Leads to Good Communication. Which is to say - Positive Communication leads to Positive Connection - Positive Connection leads to Positive Communication. This is always the desired outcome. This is using a screwdriver for its intended purpose.
The Energy of Communication/Connection
In the Post, First there was the WORD, the Energetic Transfer of Words was demonstrated, both Negative and Positive. These Energies can be transferred into physical objects including our fellow human beings, with the subsquent effect, felt Physically, and within the Psyche (viscerally).
Due to the phenomenon of transferring energy via our Words, Word Choice is going to be very critical to successful Communication and Connection.
We now know that one of the Roots, springing out of the Tap Root, is going to be Word Choice.
That being said, Word Choice, as a rule, is driven by one of two things - either INtention or EXpectation.
The Approach and Delivery
Successful Connection and Communication are inextricably tied to the Approach and Delivery. Enter the role of INtention versus EXpectation in Communication and Connection.
Our “conscious mind,” the 10 percent of our brain that we actually use, will always be the last to come on line, as that is how the brain evolved, and for very good reason. (Refer to the Posts: The Foundation Series - 1, The Foundation Series - 2, and The F-Word) That being said, in ALL matters of Connection and Communication, the 90 percent, the sub-concious and unconscious mind, are the first, and main players in this experience, and you will not outthink them. The 10 percent, has never, and will never, “outsmart” the 90 percent.
Material Consumerism and Advertising figured this out long long ago. It is a principle that is bound so fast in the human psyche, that you can bet billions of dollars on it and win. The most Luxe advertisers communicate effectively with a picture and very few words. They do not need your cortex to get involved.
Therefore, before we ever open our mouths to form Words in an attempt to Connect and Communicate, we have already delivered the message in the energy that radiates from either EXpectation or INtention. It will be written all over your energy. It will be in your eyes, the size of your pupils, your facial muscles, your posture, your breathing, your eye contact, and when you do open your mouth to form Words, it will be in your voice. It will be in the tone, the rate, the rhythm, the pressure, and the volume.
The Approach and Delivery of our Word Choices will reflect either our EXpectation which will produce Negative energy - or our INtention - which will produce Positive energy. It has to. This is how we operate. Everything that we say and do pertaining to Communication and Connection can be traced back to these two Roots.
INtention versus EXpectation
The White Tiger has elucidated the difference between EXpectation and INtention in a series of Posts: Total Control, Use Your SUPERPOWER!, and New Templates.
It is critical to understand EXpectation versus INtention in order to be able to achieve Positive and Successful Connection through Positive and Successful Communication - or stated slightly differently, to grow your Tap Root.
EXpectation begets Nothing - (Non) Connection.
INtention begets Everything - Positive and Successful Connection and Communication.
If your Approach and Delivery, in your attempt to Connect and Communicate, comes from a place of EXpectation, it will fail, and commonly quite miserably.
If your Approach and Delivery, in your attempt to Connect and Communicate, comes from a place of INtention, it will succeed. Your Tap Root will grow deeply. Your life experience will change dramatically.
The Critical Tools for Connection
All of the Tools that will be offered, in the upcoming series of Posts, will always have the Energetic Transfer of Words and the utilization of INtention over EXpectation, as the nexus of their Power and Success.
