HOW TO BE A MASTER COMMUNICATOR

—Douglas R. Kelley, PhD, CH, CSL

Upon Completion of this Segment, You Will Know:

• A comprehensive overview of communication techniques.

The basic building block of good communications is the feeling

that every human being is unique and of value. —Unknown

n this course, we have covered a number of valuable communication techniques with a focus on

practical and public presentation skills. The techniques presented so far have focused more on

the most important skills associated with effective communication, but haven’t included a num-

ber of additional techniques that also play a role in good communication. Concepts such as how to

start a conversation, how to end a conversation, good telephone conversation techniques, and others

will help round out your ability as an effective communicator.

In this vein, the eBook, How to Be a Master Communicator, is included on the Course Page for

your review and study. It will provide additional sub-points that support the main concepts discussed

in previous segments. As you study this 43 page eBook, look for new and additional ideas that you can

apply in your own life.

METAPHYSICS AND COMMUNICATION

Perhaps you are wondering what communication skills have to do with a metaphysical degree, and

the answer is everything and on a variety of levels. Regardless of whether your mission is to become

a minister, counselor, coach, healer, hypnotist, ufologist, paranormal investigator, or anything else,

you will be dealing with people (and perhaps others). Your effectiveness as a communicator will have

a direct bearing on your success in your chosen field.

One type of communication we’ve discussed and will continue to discuss is the communication you

have with yourself, in other words, self-talk. This kind of communication involves the mental thought-

words that go through your mind constantly. Whether your internal dialogue is positive and empow-

ering or not will also have a direct impact on your success in life.

Another type of communication is that with your Higher Self in the form of meditation. We’ve

provided suggested meditations and self-hypnosis scripts for you to use in connecting with your Higher

Self. By diligently practicing meditation, you expand your consciousness and awareness, and this leads

to greater enlightenment. Meditating also allows you to “listen” to your innermost thoughts and di-

rection. This is your Higher Self attempting to communicate with your conscious mind. Meditation,

visualization, and focus is explored in depth in Course MHs.M6 of the Doctoral Degree Program.

Metaphysics is about existence and consciousness. Communication is an indispensable aspect of

both. We’ve discussed verbal and non-verbal communication in the form of body language, but an-

other type of non-verbal communication also exists that involves consciousness on a higher level. We

often refer to this type of communication with words like psychic, ESP, and telepathy. This form of

communication allows our minds to “go out into the cosmos,” so to speak, and get information that

is not otherwise available to us. Psychic communication and related matters are discussed at length

in Course G240 including how to develop your psychic ability.

As Master Communicators, capable metaphysicians, and spiritual entities, we must be as proficient

as possible in all aspects of communication, whether that communication is with people or anyone

else. As with the physical world, so it is with the spirit world: Poor communication will strain a

relationship, and lack of communication will kill it. Strive to practice effective communication skills

in all aspects of your life and your life’s work.
