I receive your blogs, and often read the ones that apply for that time in my life. This one, “Listen” has made me realize that I need to say thank you. I, am a psychologist. I have two degrees in Psych and have studied at the best, and I can confidently say, hardest University in London. My education is extensive, and I thought it would solve so many of my problems. Of course, my expectations, led me down the wrong road. I’ve recently had a crisis in my life, I almost lost my marriage. Why? I couldn’t listen. Since reading your blogs, I have climbed back to my adolescence when I studied martial arts, with a very heavy emphisis on meditation, zen and awareness. When I started reading your blogs, and realized I needed to reach back to my basics of understanding and calm, my life took an amazing turn for the better. Now, even though my wife and I are in the midst of immense struggle from the outside world, we know that we have each other through all and for all time. Going back to the purity of realism, patience and calm, combined with inner meditation and balance, I am whole again. I cope, help, support and can reach out to all those around me. Finally, my life is moving in the only way that brings me true happiness. THANK YOU IVAN. And, I’m still listening……

Thanks for your blogs. They keep me going. They are articulate and soul-brimming.

Hi Ivan. That is such an important post, and a point I forget, then occasionally remember, over and over again. I guess we Westerners are brainwashed to thinking we have to be DOING something all the time, which keeps us out of the NOW, and also stops us from receiving too.

How are you doing with the floods in Thailand? If you ever come to Japan (I’m in Tokyo) lets meet up.

Hi Ivan,

It’s been a great experience to drop by here and read some wonderful post like this. Listening can be part of our daily learnings and progress. By listening, we can get ideas and knowledge with other people.
