Communication

Practice with this motifPractice

Definition

The synonym for creation itself, through which mind joins with mind in perfect sharing, and the Holy Spirit’s fundamental function to restore the communication that guilt and separation appear to have disrupted.

Arc in Brief

Communication starts as prayer-like bridging to God, is purified into mind-to-mind joining beyond symbols, and culminates as the Holy Spirit’s message in the holy relationship.
