‘Consider this thought experiment. Or in the language of communication ethics a visualisation excercise. Imagine yourself in deep-space. Wrapped in darkness except a few pinholes of light from far-away stars. Now imagine you are warm, and naked if you don’t mind feeling that way? Float, glide, do yoga or meditate, whatever you enjoy. Now consider the question, are you communicating. Certainly, for this excercise, no other person is involved, but are you communicating? Plato called the voice in our heads, ‘the dialogue of the self’, which nicely sums up the point. You are a Universal, energetic, interactive, biological, Earth-Being and your communication interaction exists on multiple scales. At least the Stella, the Solar, the Gaia, the Bio and the Nano.Who knows what you are actually doing? Except its beautiful, complex and multidimensional. Enjoy life.’
