Many of our differences are basically misunderstandings, and the reason for those misunderstandings is that we don't listen to each other or attempt to understand another's perspective.

 

How can we learn to see what is true in a world of misinformation and miscommunication? Christian Madsbjerg (@Christian Madsbjerg) shares his expertise on the importance of suspending conditioned beliefs in our minds and genuinely looking at the power of understanding multiple perspectives.

 

“You can't see anything about other humans unless you use your own humanity and your own experience. ” - Christian Madsbjerg

 

Key Takeaways:

• Phenomenology: Wikipedia defines this as a “ philosophical study of objectivity – and reality more generally – as subjectively lived and experienced. It seeks to investigate the universal features of consciousness while avoiding assumptions about the external world, aiming to describe phenomena as they appear to the subject, and to explore the meaning and significance of the lived experiences.” 

• Just Look: Observe without telling the story, release bias, and let go of having to define. Just look, have no opinion or preconceived notions, and observe what's happening. Letting go of any idea of what something is or is not, try to see what is there; seeing what's there may be the most challenging thing. Can you perceive from another person's perspective?

• 3 Types of Attention: 1) The attention you have when you just walk down the street. When you're not focusing on anything, you're just in it/life. You know exactly what cars are, the sounds around you, and so on, and you know how to operate in it; you're not focused on anything in particular. 2) Attention that is laser-focused when you zoom in on something. 3) Hyper-reflective attention, where you see yourself see, and therefore, you can also see how others see instead of having opinions about them.
