It is also the aim of such empathy. [see: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=2239\">Empathy in 1, 2, 3 &#8211; Part 3: \u2018Beyond the Conceptual\u2019<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not a simple thing to reach, nor to have reached. [see: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=5383\">Growing towards AURELIS Coach<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frighteningly open?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People may be afraid to lose through <em>your<\/em> Open Communication what is important to <em>them<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rightfully so \u2015 they should not lose anything deeply meaningful through any Openness. Whatever meaningful could they lose? Well, plainly, to start with, meaningfulness itself if this is hanging on a loose thread of socially constructed concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, what could be lost for a primitive tribe performing a necessary rain dance or for a modern subculture in awe of a populist leader? Or anything in-between? In any case, much more than most people are aware of. It may be correct to lose what gets lost, but that is not the whole story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wanted: being able to cope<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this scares you a bit, that\u2019s all right. As an open communicator, at least one needs to be able to handle for oneself what comes up in any open situation. This is not straightforward. It\u2019s a reason why not just anyone should go into the field of open coaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It carries responsibility, also for an Open Leader, for instance. [see: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=4310\">Open Leadership: from Chaotic to Open<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is called \u2018wisdom.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One cannot learn this from a book, a workshop, or even a University course \u2015 unless the professor is a genius in human insight \u2015 which exists. It asks for tremendous humility. Otherwise, chaos is continually lurking in Openness. This should be avoided by building on a solid, in-depth basis. Again, this demands wisdom and a lot of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should appear simple. It shouldn\u2019t be simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Local vs. global minimum in a mental landscape<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/global-local.jpg?resize=449%2C219&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6061\" width=\"449\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/global-local.jpg?w=576&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/global-local.jpg?resize=300%2C146&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Open Communication can be seen as a search for the global minimum in one&#8217;s landscape concerning the topic of communication. Less is more. A minimum lies where little stands in the way of touching the deeper ground. Local minima are avoided by staying open to alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a deeper goal to Openness, a genuine search, and the feeling when something worthwhile has been reached. Therefore, ethics is crucial. Openness is part of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a rule of thumb, Openness should lead to more Inner Strength. This is found in more global minima leading to more stability, thus a more robust foundation upon which a bigger house can be built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wanted: consolidation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The time after gaining new insight in Openness is crucial. If you don\u2019t take that properly into account, the effort may have been in vain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason for this is that Openness is more dream-like. During the morning, you usually forget any last dream that you might still remember. The other ones, you may already have forgotten during the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, consolidation is needed, but consolidation is not incarceration. Instead, in the best case, it is an additional search for what is really important while taking time (= respect) to look again at what just came up in Openness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also a time to deeply enjoy, if possible together.<\/p>\n<div data-object_id=\"6058\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkwrap cbxwpbkmarkwrap_no_cat cbxwpbkmarkwrap-post \"><a  data-redirect-url=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6058\"  data-display-label=\"0\" data-show-count=\"0\" data-bookmark-label=\" \"  data-bookmarked-label=\" \"  data-loggedin=\"0\" data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"6058\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig  cbxwpbkmarktrig-button-addto\" title=\"Bookmark This\" href=\"#\"><span class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig-label\"  style=\"display:none;\" > <\/span><\/a> <div  data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"6058\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap\" id=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap-6058\"><div class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguest-message\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguesttrig_close\"><\/a><h3 class=\"cbxwpbookmark-title cbxwpbookmark-title-login\">Please login to bookmark<\/h3>\n\t\t<form name=\"loginform\" id=\"loginform\" action=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-login.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-username\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_login\">Username or Email Address<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"log\" id=\"user_login\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-password\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_pass\">Password<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"user_pass\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-remember\"><label><input name=\"rememberme\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"rememberme\" value=\"forever\" \/> Remember Me<\/label><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-submit\">\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button button-primary\" value=\"Log In\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6058\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/form><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open Communication \u2015 encompassing the subconceptual \u2015 is like opening doors together with another person and you don\u2019t know what lies behind them.
