Looking for a way to lessen the amount of conflict or drama in your life?  Here are four perspectives we can take into account when speaking that can help lower the amount of conflict or disagreement we experience in our relationships.

As we move forward in raising our vibrations and light quotient, we’ll naturally re-define and re-create alot of what we do and how we approach our lives.  One of the new ways of being I’m looking forward to is a greater emphasis on creating true win-win solutions, instead of those based on the old paradigm of “compromise” which always involves each party giving up something they want in order to get along.   As we make greater connection with the higher vibrating aspects of our multidimensional selves, we’ll have access to a greater amount of information and a bigger picture, that I suspect will increase our ability to fashion creative, true win-win solutions for any dilemma.

Some time ago I was saying that two ways of being that cut down on a lot of disputes and disagreements between lightworkers are (1) stating the status of your knowledge and (2) speaking in neutral language (sometimes also called Perro, the ancient, intergalactic diplomatic language).  (1)

Disputes and disagreements also often arise because we overlook what I call the Rule of Four.

What is the Rule of Four?

When two people are discussing doing anything together, they need to consider four perspectives and when they drop out on even one of the four, or when they don’t stand up for themselves on one of the four, bad things start to happen. They are:

(1) What I want.
(2) What I don’t want.
(3) What you want.
(4) What you don’t want.

Let’s take a really simple and mundane example. Where shall we go to eat tonight? You want Chinese food. BUT you don’t want a Chinese restaurant that uses MSG.

If we go to a Chinese restaurant, but one that uses MSG, you won’t be happy.

I’m a vegetarian (not) but I don’t want to go to a restaurant that simply takes the meat off the plate and serves me the rest – vegetables and potatoes. There has to be some interest to the meal. If we go to a Chinese restaurant that simply removes the meat from any dish and serves the rest, without having some special vegetarian plates, I won’t be happy.

Every time a decision is made, all four positions on the relationship compass need to be considered. Watch how often an argument arises because one of the four positions has not been considered.

The most common form of this argument occurs when someone simply says: “Let’s go out for Chinese tonight” and we agree without looking at the other three positions.

This was a very simple, straightforward example, but watch what happens when we begin our complex projects together if we don’t see that every decision has been considered from each of these four perspectives.
