Open Throats - here to be wise about communication

“People with an open Throat center are not designed to waste their energy on small talk like most verbal gunslingers do.
They are here to be wise about communication.
And this starts with always knowing how to tell the difference between talking and communicating.
Two people can do a lot of talking, and it does not mean they are truly communicating. All there's going to be is a lot of noise, because none of them is listening.
Communication between any two people is only happening if someone is listening. It is actually the listener that makes communication happening. It is the listening that assures that something of what you are expressing is clearly coming across to me.
Good, bad, it does not matter.
What matters is that I feel you through that listening. I hear you. I see you, and I may understand you or not, but I’m listening to you, I’m receiving you.
It is a gift of the open throat, and it starts with loving to be silent and allow others to do the talking. To actually make other people talk: "Hello, how are you?"
As an open Throat center, you are not here to lead the conversation into any new direction.
You are here to recognize if the conversation is interesting for you or not, but you are not really meant to try and change it by proposing a new one.
If the expression of the other person is not really interesting for you and it disturbs you, you simply stand up and move yourself a little bit, and then you relax into the silence again.
If on the contrary, the conversation is interesting for you, then you just keep on listening. It is a bit like listening to the radio, only its real people and the story you are being told is alive.
You are listening to someone else’s movie, to how they tell themselves their own story, how they project themselves onto life, who they think they are…
This is what an open Throat is here for, to listen to others and know who has something to say and doesn't always dare to say it, and who has nothing to say and is talking all the time.
Who is just making noise with their voice, using their expression just to release some old anger, frustration and/or resentments?
Who is like a parrot repeating something that they saw on TV?
Who's trying to convince who of what with their talk?
Who's talking to whom?
And who is listening?
Is there anybody listening?
If you have an open Throat center, you are here to watch the games of civilization, and to learn the game of communication until you master it.
You are here to understand the game of appearances.
Open throat people are great publicists because they are here to know the form that civilization likes to see.
If you want good advice on how to improve your image, you need to ask someone with an open Throat center.
They will tell you exactly what you look like as you move in the world, because that’s precisely their gift, to see the material world as it is with all its noise, with all its cacophony, and to recognize how funny it all is.
Because it is funny, the world is like a movie. The good people chasing after the bad people.
The cops and the thieves. It is all there like in the movies, only it is real.
You know, with an open throat you don't need to pay a digital fee and have Internet connection to always watch an entertaining movie.
The world is like a theater stage. A scenario that is crowded with all kinds of actors and actresses.
And the open Throat is here to see exactly who is who and who knows how to represent themselves and who doesn't.
Who understands their role in public and who doesn`t seem to understand their role.
Who is coming into this scenario in the right moment and who is coming in off beat, and based on that, you communicate with one and not with the other, as you can clearly recognize who belongs to your movie and who doesn't.
That other one coming in off beat must belong to some other movie too different from yours, because you know you don't understand what your part is supposed to be…
In this way you can always be sure that conditioning doesn't decide for you when to talk and when not, conditioning does not impose on you who to communicate with and who not.
You decide who to communicate with, how and when.
And with whom you communicate like we are two people who live on different planets. Two people who speak different languages. It does not matter that we both may speak Spanish.
We may be born in the same country, but when we listen to each other it can sound like we were born in two different galaxies.”
