We Humans ....

..... have two floors in our life
Ground Floor where we invite our friends, the gas man, the milk man, the neighbour ....
Attic where we dump stuff.
Upstairs and Downstairs.

When things are worn out, eyesores, unsightly - they are understandably placed out of sight in the attic.
We don't have to see it up there.
Others won't see it there.

When we don't like certain parts of ourselves
attitudes
some ugly events
a spoiled relationship
hurts
vulnerability
an uncomfortable emotion
or an error of judgement .......... we put them in the attic
out of site
out of mind
buried
but
not
dead
buried alive ........... in the attic.

The attic will eventually become full
overloaded
we will become scared of it all falling in on us
will it collapse on us?

The attic - we all have an attic
The attic is our subconscious
The attic is sometimes called 'suppression'.

If we live our lives with the aim of being authentic
real
we will be willing and able to
display and reveal
some of our
vulnerabilities
hurts
uncertainties
and then
we will not be overloaded upstairs.

Emotional energy will be then available for others and ourselves.
Emotional energy will then not be wasted keeping all that stuff hiding away
Emotional energy will not be wasted on unease about an imminent collapse.

Level Five communication is all about living on one floor
One life


Level Five
L5 communication is all about being open and honest.
It is about revealing ourselves.
It is about self revelation.





"What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret
than our willingness to choose life."
