Dialogue With RCS: About the Nature of Our Dialogue
Our
dialogue talk is designed to create areas of coherence in the vastness
of misunderstanding. Often a major benefit of our dialogue is to give us
a better chance to experience the power of collectively shared meaning
which we have created. Most ordinary talk in our society may be called
incoherent. To learn to do our dialogue talk, takes ongoing practice.
This practice we have called Dialogue for Peace, Magic Table Dialogue,
and just The Dialogue. The Dialogue has rules which call for practice.
The rules need not be rigid, but they do call for practice which is
important.
The
Dialogue is aimed at learning to think together coherently. Thinking
together coherently calls for sustained practice. An early practice may
be called a listening practice, but calls for some use of your voice as
well as of your ears and mind. Thinking together is both satisfying and a
great power. We believe that it is well worth the effort.
This
thinking together is a learning and growth process. It occurs on
various levels of consciousness. It occurs in one, in mental talk to
one's self, or even on unspoken levels. We could just say that a lot of
learning goes on in dialogue our practice.
