I don't know a lot about this but for sure with every person we relate to, whether it be a friend, a family member, a student or otherwise there is always 'the particular' implied.
Each relationship is an art. If we know how to paint we can make a work of art out of a relationship. Whichever relationship that be.
If we know how to live, how to suffer, how to die we can make our very own life a work of art. Knowing this first teaches us how to make relationships a work of art.
Everyone has their particular psychology and their particular psycholgy is different to ours. I mean that different to ours! To not see this is to be silly. We can see it but we also have to accept it. Accepting it is better than knowing it, because we can then live.
Everyone has a particular way that works best to get through to them... to talk to them to help them or lead them...or work with them or do this or that with them.
We may like or not like their way but after all its the way of their nature. What can we do? Adapt ourselves, see what is good and true in that nature and maybe modify certain ways we take with them for the better or understand it, know it and use it to work with them? Or just reject it which may be right for us in some moments or in other moments very unwise, well we just have to see...
Gurdjieff called the foruth way the way of the cunning man...
Once m.m.m told me that the Christ is very astute in the sense that it knows the ways to catch essences for the light, what those ways may be, who knows, but that He knows and can employ a variety of means to bring essences to the light, perhaps ways above the relativity of good and evil.
Jesus said in the gospels to be as wise as a serpent but as gentle as a dove.
End (4126).
