The abundance of the heart the mouth speaks...


Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks...


So many times we do not realise that we've spoken what is on our hearts until we see the effect the words have taken upon another individual. Of course, even moreso in the situation between a guy and a girl as he comes to grips with telling her what is on his "heart" this becomes challenging. This is so, since dealing with such intimate emotions in humans even though in the heart are suppressed and almost into none existence. Conversely no one wants to be professing every single thing that he/she has conjured up, to another, but - we digress a bit.



There is something called paralanguage, which refers to the non-verbal elements of communication, which when one really looks at it, is the tell-tale sign even before one speaks, as to what is in their heart. If one is keen on identifying these non-verbal elements, then it is very easy to read what is in the heart. Sometimes what is on the heart is so intense that the mouth literally spews the information content out. However the mind must be taught in many circumstances to think before speaking, yet there are instances where this threshold is broken before the thought process has been completed. I would suggest that there are many times whereby the mouth should speak exactly what is on the heart. Look at the infant. When an infant thinks about something - he'll quickly acknowledge and openly ask a question as to why or make a comment. It is this raw openess that is so pure about the innocense of the child. Ask a child exactly what he's thinking and without hesitation or fear of victimization he'll tell you. ask an adult and they'll hesitate...see the difference?


So, in this chapter, you should be asking yourself, what has been conjured in my heart? Recently I've had the crazy opportunity to have dealt with some "church" people. If I could have spewed exactly what was on my heart to the group, they would immediately be highly offended. However as per the instructions garnished about the various situations, had I gushed the thoughts to these persons, then they would not have been able to handle it. Furthermore, the minds of the consorts seem so small, that they would dwell on the postman rather than the letter which he brought. I therefore would indicate that one should analyse the situation first if at all possible and under the best of our judgement decide the best way to express the abundance of the heart.


Personally it took about three weeks to complete this particular leaf, since it caused me to try to wrap my head around this particular subject, so much so that I don't even think that we have scratched the surface properly...


However - till next chapter...Remember if its in your heart...it will come out - either verbally or in your body language. If you doubt me - as the psychologists.
