Was writing detailed notes for a Dharma@Cinema session We too are like wandering spirits Importance of Communication in Relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n The movie (The Sixth Sense) is about the need for communication in various relationships and the lack of it on many levels.\u00a0Without communication, there would be no meaningful relationships.\u00a0But most of all, the story is about how earnest communication heals all involved.<\/p>\n Communication Between Cole & Lynn<\/strong><\/p>\n With an unnerving relationship at first, Cole could not communicate to his mother (Lynn) about his fearful ghostly experiences, which were the source of his injuries, while she could not communicate to him about her worries over his unusual\u00a0behaviour. Both were unsure what each was thinking and did not speak their true minds due to various fears.<\/p>\n Communication Between <\/strong><\/span>Cole & Malcolm<\/strong><\/p>\n Cole had difficulty disclosing the truth to Malcolm that he was a wandering spirit because he wasn’t ready for it, while Malcolm did not find not find it easy to tell Cole that he thought he was very sick. While Malcolm thought Cole needed much counselling, Cole was also counselling Malcolm. They both tried to break the truth to each other gently.<\/p>\n Communication Between <\/strong><\/span>Cole & Ghosts<\/strong><\/p>\n Cole had trouble letting the wandering spirits know he was afraid of their unexpected appearances, while the wandering spirits had problems letting him know that they have no intention to scare him, that they just want some help.<\/p>\n Communication Between <\/strong><\/span>Malcolm & Anna<\/strong><\/p>\n Malcolm did not know how to let Anna know he loved her, while Anna had no way of letting him know the same.<\/p>\n Communication Between <\/strong><\/span>Malcolm & Vincent<\/strong><\/p>\n Vincent could not communicate the reasons for his anguish to Malcolm, while Malcolm could not let him know he was apologetic in time.<\/p>\n [ad#sixthsense]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Was writing detailed notes for a Dharma@Cinema session for NTU Buddhist Society’s anniversary celebration when I came up with the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,79],"tags":[75,178],"class_list":["post-5015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-movies","category-relationships","tag-attachment","tag-ghost","wpcat-26-id","wpcat-79-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5015\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nfor NTU Buddhist Society’s anniversary celebration
\nwhen I came up with the below (as part of the notes):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
\nin the flesh, with flesh,
\nlingering\u00a0in Samsara
\nwith attachment,
\nwhich if we do not relinquish in time,
\nwill bind us here,
\nor to be wandering spirits in our next lives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
