What is Understanding and what are its parts
When listening to someone it is important NOT to grab onto the first understanding you get and go from there. In fact DON'T be so eager to discover an understanding and rush on with that.
There are MANY understandings to be had from one 'listen cycle'. The important one is the one the speaker is trying to convey. If you don't get that one then the connection is weakened, and things could worsen depending on how important it is to the speaker that HIS understanding be understood. See if you have THAT one then continue. It can even help to ask if you have it right.
Understanding is the sense that you have duplicated the source point, you know how it works, how it relates to other things.
Please know that one can have AN understanding of something and still miss the boat or get on the wrong one. There are MANY MANY understandings about a subject. Don't grab the first one and parade off waving a flag. Take the first understanding and set it aside and listen and look for more.
The more you get the more you can see how the different understandings relate to one another and to other subjects.
There are three things that are part of understanding: first is perceiving it, hearing it, listening to it and having the condition of being able to communicate back to it. Secondly is how much or how little you like it. If you like it then understandings occur more easily. If you don't like it then you have fewer understandings about it. FINDING things about it that you like is a pro-active way to increase understandings.
Thirdly is agreement. Agreements you have with others about the subject and its relationships.
Here are six elements taken from another field of study:
Curiosity, Desire, Enforce, Inhibit, No (absence) and Refuse.
Couple each of these with Understanding and one can gain a broader insight.
A Curious Understanding
A Desired Understanding
An Enforced Understanding
An Inhibited Understanding
No Understanding
Refused Understanding
There is no defense against persistent good feeling toward, and acceptance of others.
There is a set number of mistakes, and we all make them sooner or later.
