A wonderful article by Ursula LeGuin that I enjoyed reading is here. The following is my reflection on the article:
Communication as mutual entrainment opens the door for blossoming of mutual understanding, enrichment, creativity, and bonding. In intersubjective communication words matter. What we say and how we say matter. We affect each other positively or negatively. It depends on how we synchronize the pulses of each other. As the the author Ursula Krober Le Guin says," by getting the beats into a master rhythm, by entrainment." For me, intrasubjective and intersubjective communications are intertwined.When I am in a quiet zone, I expereince such rhythmic communication within me. I am in entrainment with the voice arising in me. It is me listening to me. Such intrasubjective communication clears the clouds of opposing inner voices I may not be aware of. Such intrasubjective communication helps me in intersubjective communications. When I am in quiet natural surroundings, I experience deep connection between me and the sight and sound of nature. This also happens when I am in entunement with music and musicians. What helps me is my deep and total attentiveness, my total presence, my alive quietness. This also happens in my intersubjective communications. It is like the author says an ancient gift. It's upto us to use it wisely. May we cultivate the art of communication as mutual entrainment! Namaste.
