Apply the above dream-deciphering method to conflict interpretation. Try to remember that just as with dream interpretation, any perspective I might provide you with is just a “shameless projection” of my own experience. Yet you might see and understand elements of an issue that I have missed. If you are asked to listen to another person’s conflict, first refer to the code of conduct described in the Earth chapter:
-
Hold all you hear in complete confidence.
-
Ask questions in order to gain as complete a picture as possible.
-
To offer your perspective, begin with, “If it were my conflict, I . . .” speaking in the first person throughout your interpretation.
-
Remember that only the person in the conflict will know what is true in her situation.
-
Also remember that each conflict contains multiple layers. A dispute with a co-worker may be more closely related to a conflict from twenty years ago than to the current issue. Each conflict holds rich materials for understanding our physical, emotional, and spiritual aspect.
