If you agree with an outside person's interpretation of you, that's a happy bit of affirmation. it means you're communicating externally what you believe to be true internally. if you disagree, it helps clarify how you understand yourself. and maybe makes you productively question how to improve your communication skills.

More From Heidi Julavits

For a very great many years, i asked this question: ‘to communicate or not to communicate?’ if one got himself in such thorough trouble by communication, then of course one should stop communicating. but this is not the case. if one gets himself into trouble by communicating, he should further communicate. more communication, not less, is the answer.

Sometimes i have experienced at the start of a film you're very excited and enthusiastic and you've done all your preparation internally and externally and you start the film and it's all go... then your attention goes somewhere else. your energy goes into telling the story, so you don't have the same amount of energy to be objective, and that's okay because sometimes you become a subject of the story and you're inside it so much that you don't need to keep on looking on the outside.

Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.

I think what happens in a religious life is that we have those experiences of affirmation and that one starts to live a christian life or a jewish life or a muslim life or a buddhist life, by affirming that affirmation each day. each day you say 'yes' to that yes. so the life of being a christian for example, is always a life of double affirmation, that you each day say 'yes' to those counter-experiences of saying 'yes', even when you're not experiencing them at that time, you're remaining loyal to that experience.

The most dangerous type of atheism is not theoretical atheism, but practical atheism -that's the most dangerous type. and the world, even the church, is filled up with people who pay lip service to god and not life service. and there is always a danger that we will make it appear externally that we believe in god when internally we don't. we say with our mouths that we believe in him, but we live with our lives like he never existed. that is the ever-present danger confronting religion. that's a dangerous type of atheism.

If you're brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you.

I think it's appropriate that we simplify, clarify and strengthen, so instead of this nebulousness, we have clarity and authority invested in teachers once more.

[the strike in 1968] brought us together with teachers and also with progressive whites. all of us came from diverse backgrounds, but at the same time the reasons why we were at san francisco state in the late sixties was because of the agitation and movement building that had occurred within our communities. we saw ourselves not separate from the community but intimately connected to it.
