Yes, listen deeply and you will read someone’s heart. It is an ART that needs to be taught to most people. Mostly people just wait until they can speak never really listening. Like a tennis match.
My mom was a mystic. That is the soup I grew up in. A one on one with a mystic. When I came to her with a personal reality, a problem or challenge her answer was esoteric. “You must change your state of consciousness or this pattern will keep repeating.”
How does one change ones state of consciousness?
” By meditating. By realizing the world is an allusion. By not buying into the world of mind. By connecting only to the divine.”
She had fallen trap of the spiritual bypass or spiritual senile.
It took me 5 decades to figure this out. That’s how brain washed I was. No wonder I went off and studied shamanism & became an herbalist.
