This is a great quality Seminar Recording..David Dobson has such a great voice.. i like to listen to it..What is Other Than Conscious Communication?         The name, “Other Than Conscious Communication” says it all ! Literally, every thing we do, the way we do it, constitutes our communication. As John Grinder is fond of saying, “You can not, not communicate”. It has also been said that only a small percentage of our communication is verbal, that a far greater aspect of our communication is “non verbal”. I prefer referring to this aspect as “other than conscious”™. (This should not be surprising in view of the myriad tasks that our mind controls daily like coordinating our muscles for walking, remembering how to tie our shoes, etc. all outside of our conscious awareness, we are just able to do these things without having to think about them). Since the turn of the century, or the beginning to the industrial revolution, our society and our schools have focused more and more attention on the written and spoken word virtually ignoring the aspects of behavior that resisted codification. From time to time, there have been efforts to recognize the other aspects of our communication process, such as appreciation of an animals “territorial imperatives” and “body language”, but the refinements of the different “modalities” has been virtually ignored and even when it is respected through the teachings of “Neuro-linguistic” structures such as NLP, the overall appreciation of the total communication is not appreciated. Other Than Conscious Communication is real. It can be consciously validated, appreciated, and with this appreciation frees the individual to be even more courteous at both the conscious and other than conscious levels of communication.
