Boundaries of Your Dyad (12+)


                         Having great reception is a lot like being a concessioner or retailer. "Transactional Analysis" and "Games Theory" allow for modeling all human relations as business. Mutual benefit is at the core of all intentional dyads. (Dashboard Dictionary says;

                           dyad |ˈdīad|
                           :noun technical
                           something that consists of two elements or parts : the mother–child dyad.
                           • Mathematics: an operator that is a combination of two vectors.
                           • Chemistry: a divalent atom or radical.)

                         In, "Turning to Face Your Sensitive Boundaries" May 25th, 2013, I talk about how people see personal differences as separating boundaries and barriers. These can be differences of; age, status, gender, politics, religion, language. Almost anything can seem like an insurmountable boundary, keeping people apart and unable to communicate.

                         Yet, we can look at said boundaries as planes of contact. Not just one surface of separation,  but we see shared points of contact between two surfaces of connection. Those differences act as a topological duality. Opposite sides of the same boundary. Experiences and differences between any two different people creates a new language, unique to each and every two people.

                         Taoism allows for a very dynamic model. Communication between polarities in a simple way means, a communicator and a receiver. This type of simplistic modeling however, when over generalized is the cause of so much misunderstanding. Sexism has always been exploited gender politics. The male brain is not well known for linguistic sensitivity. Men through monotheistic history have feared and reviled women as the source of all Original Sin. Being the bearer of life, but also is seen as the vessel of all that is tempting. This has been blamed on women, as if women were innately evil.

                         Fortunately, when we talk with each other, our polarities can reverse. If I talk, you might listen. When you need to communicate, I can listen. If communication is a charge dynamic, then listening is positive reception and the "Charge of communication is alternating. It's not about gender per se. It is generally more common with the female brain that you will see women listening and talking simultaneously. With age, I now too can do this a little. But my brain has freakishly good reception for a guy. And although I must never try to multitask, (I have a one track mind) listening is my luxurious privilege.

                         As an active communicator, I never let anyone waste my time. I wont waste yours. I believe in the sacredness of a receptive audience. I don't waste time. Taking the initiative means I almost never expect others to understand everything I say or do, no matter how much I want to be understood. But I do try to always make good sense. I make myself understandable.

                         Having great reception is a lot like being a concessioner. A "Transactional Analysis or "Games Theory" allows for modeling human relations as business. Mutual benefit is at the core of all intentional dyads. Getting to speak with you is just one of these kinds of "Dyad" relationships.
