Not all conversations are dialogues.
Dialogues are more challenging and more illuminating than common conversations. They are harder to choose and rarer than social conversations.
There is always exposure. Nothing hides. There is always change or nothing moves, nothing evolves. For both participants.
They are uncomfortable only when blame and defense, guilt and shame hijack consciousness. Only when preservation hinders growth.
They reduce noise. They don’t over-analyze, over-explain or give answers that didn’t come from the essence within (the core perceiving, meaning-making self that exists prior to, and after, roles, adaptation, or self-presentation).
They offer presence – one that isn’t afraid of silence.
They are not linear, progressive or additive. If anything, they encourage subtraction – loss of everything that weighs on the self, limits sight, clots the heart.
Those clots need to move.
Sight needs to expand to integrate.
Weight has to lift.
And all that requires energy (cost), time, and space. One’s own timing and spacing that another doesn’t control but respects.
They are also always a mirror of one’s own inner dialogues with one’s essence; the real self behind the identity-attachment construct.
So, they move accordingly.
As the inner relationship becomes conscious and deliberate, and the inner bond is established, so the external dialogues flow, illuminate, become priceless.
