Disagreements and Arguments

I don't have arguments with people anymore. I do still have disagreements. I just don't have arguments. What is the difference? A disagreement is a natural occurrence that springs from the inevitable experience of two or more people seeing differently on some idea or construct and then expressing those differences in some way, shape or form. An argument is the experience of two or more egos creating strong mental positions on an idea or construct and then further, creating even stronger identities out of them.

In order for an argument to truly occur all parties must be coming from an emotional-psychological-mental place of taking a mental position and creating an identity out of that mental position. What exactly does this mean? It means the mental position is what is doing all the talking now, not any Human Beings.

Is it possible for there to be two people having a conversation and one person is having an argument and the other person is having a discussion/disagreement? Yes. This is the closest I get to being in an argument anymore. These type discourses can be very tricky. It is very easy to instantly go from discussion to disagreement to argument. Often, when I realize the other has gone into the energetic landmine space of argument, I bail from the conversation as quickly and gracefully as possible. This it because the only thing less beneficial than two mental positions pretending to have a conversation is one mental position and one Human Being pretending to have a conversation. In this instance the Human Being recognizes the human-ness of the other. Mental positions however, are only able to recognize other mental positions. So even though the Human in this equation is not arguing, if she/he is in a conversation with someone who is, the person who is arguing/defending his/her mental position will wholeheartedly believe the Human Being is arguing as well/with them. Essentially it is the same as talking to oneself at that point.

There are however, some instances where all this can be occurring and one or even all people are in argument mode and grace somehow intervenes and a new consciousness is instantly created. I would say if one witnesses this happen at anytime, pay very close attention. Try to bring your full awareness to what has just happened. Indeed, a miracle has just occurred and you directly participated in it. I have experienced this. There are few experiences I have had with other people that I can remember as being so powerful. When this happens, it is truly a beautiful, magical and amazing thing. Om Shanti Shalom.
