Four Types Of Listening

During the Spring meetings of the Global Ecovillage Network in Switzerland I always come into the realm of the fourth level of listening. Indeed GEN meetings are for me an island of spiritual recovery. Sacred Story Telling really...like what Leah Lamb teaches too. Unfortunately in my current day to day living situation, my husband is stuck in the paradigm of downloading and object focused listening. Attempts to influence anything more, result in aversion. Bridging the difference between his needs and mine are deeply challenging. I tend to defend myself by using the last promise of the 4 promises of ZEN as a mantra: The Path of Experience is Unsurpassed.
