the words themselves. Face to face we convey so much by expression, body
language, tone and inflection. Even on the telephone, our tone of voice and
inflection convey volumes. IMO, real communication relies on feeling connected,
on a deep level, with the people we are trying to communicate with. The more
strongly we identify with being an ego walled-off by various boundary-lines
from other egos, the more difficulty we will have in connecting with others.
The more we are ablw to see through the imaginary boundary-lines to our shared
Buddha-Dhatu, the more will be able to feel deep bonds of sympathy with others,
which will naturally facilitate empathetic communication. IMO.
