thinking while listening.

¬
Listening with absolute openness means being that we are fully receptive to what another person says, without interrupting or formulating mental responses while the other person is talking. This includes suspending natural tendencies to “react” or hastily “interpret” whenever we feel under attack.

What we often assume as an attack is nothing more than a habitual assumption. By listening fully and defencelessly, we start to hear what others are trying to communicate. This is a vital part of discovering what the situation is really all about. And unless we are clear on this, we never find new knowledge that truly resolves the situation.¬
