Chatter

1. incessantly converse about trivial matters

2. to talk or converse rapidly and informally about unimportant things

To chatter, babble, rant, and speak gibberish are one in the same, pure non-sense; they all get in the way of us communing effectively with each other. I used the word commune instead of communicate to place more importance on what I am saying. Usually when someone hears the word communion it gives the appearance of something that is sacred, because of communion in the church. Our conversation with each other is sacred. The definition of communion says it is a feeling of emotional or spiritual closeness, an association or relationship. Other words and terms associated with communion are unity, spiritual union, close association, and relationship. So in essence to communicate or commune with another is a very serious sacred action. Yet most people do not take it that way and end up with a moth full of dark powerless chatter.

When someone chatters, they are like a wind-up toy that has a mouth the just continues to flap open and closed non-stop. A person who chatters usually does not hear a single word others are saying. It is a form of an addiction, they must be saying something, it does not matter if what they are saying is accurate, true, or relevant to the conversation they are in, they simply must babble on and control the conversation. Such a person actually does not need another person to be present, because they are not listening to anything that is being said outside of what they are saying anyway. We must learn the art of listening in conjunction with the art of communion; one cannot exist effectively without the other. If we truly listen to those we commune with, most of our verbal exchanges with each other would be tremendously shorter. That is due to the fact that the answers we are seeking usually are addressed early in our conversations, the major problem is we simply failed to hear them in the beginning because we weren’t truly listening.  To truly listen to those we are speaking with, is one ultimate way of respecting them. In doing so, we are telling them the following; I honor and respect what you are saying, even those times when we agree to disagree about something.

We must stop speaking to each other, and start speaking with each other. The time for Oneness and Divine Flow is at hand.

Affirmation:

My communion with others is a Sacred Act. I completely cherish that act of communion as a gift from Infinite Source. I never take advantage of or disrespect my communion with my sisters and brothers. I have communion constantly with Infinite Source.
