[Ailist] Re: Connecting with Others

[Kevin Kervick]

Hello Cheri:

Thank you for asking.  Before I do so and because the moderator and others are concerned about focus I want to be sure this is appropriate for this listserv.  It interests me and apparently you but it may be off base for others.

  Prevailing notions of peace-making often entail tiptoeing around differences

  without authentic communication, these efforts are pseudo-mutual and achieve 

  little.  The underlying beliefs embedded in this approach are that access 

  and authenticity are the only routes to durable change and that attitudes 

  are often influenced by emotion - the mind is changed when the heart is 

  moved.

   

  Can you define for me "authentic communication" and say more about what you mean by "access".
