Ignorance is the way of want. Ignorance of the practice of equality, justice, respect, honor, and love pave a speedy road to want. Want is lack.
Ignorance is the way to degeneration and strife. What is a way to abundant life?
The understanding and and practice of love moves one to abundant life very well. Love is a good way. How is love understood? How is love practiced? It's a process. One could begin by getting clear about some meanings. Improve and extend your understanding of equality, justice, respect, and honor among men. Understanding the the interactions among the practice of law, justice, and equality as components of love helps. Knowing that love includes the best of respect and honor helps. Knowing that the heart of love is joyous nurturance is necessary. Learning that respectful, even reverent, nurturance makes love real, is vital.
A reader of the Bible may find help in getting on this road by noting that Jesus said that his purpose was to bring us abundant life. And then by going on to study the page or two of teachings after he says to love your God. There he points to the nature of love, He points to the knowledge and practice of love. He points to the process of learning to love. He tells the essentials and extent of doing it well. The readers must study, contemplate, and meditate well on his parables and examples. H makes it easy to begin.

Your Kind of Dialogue
The object of this new kind of dialogue is to listen to every one's opinion. The object is not to judge or analyze or even to exchange opinions. The object is to listen and begin to see what it all means. The object is to come to share common content. The object is not to agree or disagree, but rather to simply share an appreciation of the meanings.
You may not have read the 50 some post on this topic on my Magic Table blog or the dozen or so on my Isness blog. If that is the, case you might have a less than perfect understand of what I am talking about. Please ask me to clarify and explain the portions you are not sure about.
In important part the purpose of this kind of talk is to deal with difficult communication which is ongoing. It's designed for face to face communication among forty or more people, but may be beneficially used by a couple. This kind of communication, which we have called dialogue, is for use among equals. Everyone contributes, every one participates equally. It is a democratic process.
Not knowing how much you understand of this kind of dialogue has really thrown me off. I don't know what to say to you. Using the comment section just below for a bit of a dialogue of our own would really help me to write more meaningfully.
Maybe I should just forget trying to blog. Or maybe see if a wiki-blog would help me to get more useful feedback.
If you knew what I was talking about we might aim to look at everything together and to acknowledge a participatory consciousness; each partaking of the whole meaning. We would aim to share all the assumptions in the group.
We would try to leave as little out as possible. We would share common meaning and create common meaning. In a way, a common mind would rise which did not exclude the individual. The meaning of each would be seen.
Each would be free. Individual mind and collective mind both honored. Individual mind would be first as it attempt a harmony with the whole. We would start to move into a new creativity

The Object of Dialogue

The object is to listen and begin to see what it all means. The object is to come to share a common content.The object is not to agree, but rather to simply share an appreciation of the meanings.
The aim is to look at everything together and to acknowledge a participatory consciousness; each partaking of the whole meaning. Everyone aims to understand all the assumptions in the group.
The aim is to leave as little out as possible., to share common meaning, and create common meaning. In a way, a common mind arises which does not exclude the individual. The meanings of each person are seen.
Each is free. Individual mind and collective mind are both honored. Individual mind is firs as it attempts a harmony with the whole. AS move into as new creativity is begun.
