Being Attentive, Being Aware of our Intentions, and Being Able to Connect.
(Cultivating the sense of "being", without necessarily having to communicate with ordinary words...and not necessarily deriving our main meaning from words and language)

----~~~~~------

We practice mindfulness and awareness by cultivating our skill to direct energies (coming from within, or outside of ourselves) to our community framework and our culture - our steadfast background. Thus, we learn to become an empty channel to all these energies.
(Please see more in Q & A )

Community forms the hub for our meaning, and for a more inclusive culture. Its maintenance can be helped immensely by installing new, more 'community minded', socialization "programs" and allowing these new experimental and explorative programs to reformat our "hard drive" into a softer and more flexible "operating system".

What is needed?

A realization that for us to be able to grow, we need friends - "my community".
We need a willingness to develop a greater level of commitment to practice, change and grow, and to form a more genuine, cooperative and communal mindset, which is less competitve, confrontational and adversarial.

What can be achieved?

Enhanced communication
Improved relationships
A sense of belonging

According to this approach, any practice or meditation, as effective as it may be, can have only a limited sustainable benefit if it is not practiced in an ongoing community culture and framework.
This realisation must be a deep priority for each individual, who will then need to follow their desire to find and help create such a community.

We are social beings.

When we combine our strength with our community culture, we can achieve much more.
It means familiarizing ourselves with our emotional intelligence.
This intelligence is about the psychological morality and ethics of this very moment, what subliminal and semi-conscious signals we transfer to each other while communicating.
Are these actually positive, negative or neutral signals, and do these signals mean exclusion and alienation, or do they lead to bonding and unity?
Often, what takes place in a blink of an eye, we are unable to process properly or address quickly and effectively with words.
In a split second, we may find ourselves in either nirvana or hell. Many of us have a need in these instant, yet cumulative, 'mouse click'' moments to feel and know where we stand in our relationships.
