REFLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS
Dr. Case pushed me to see: “You’re a dictator especially when you’re reporting the news. You have to look the audience in the face. If you’re just two-dimensional, there’s no substance to you. Why do you think people come and go as anchormen and-women? When someone learns to be reflective and asks, How do I see that other person in me, and how do I see me in that person? they’ve found reflective consciousness.”
I got it then. Reflective consciousness is a lot like empathy. It’s about not being judgmental.
Dr. Case told me, “You need to see yourself in all the people you talk about—a dictator, a homeless person, a single mom, a president, an embezzler, a mortgage defaulter, et cetera. And conversely, you need to see all those people in you. If you can do that, then you can speak to a national and a world audience, because you’ll own bits and pieces of all these traits.”
Of course she was right. And when I could really think, What’s a dictator, and how am I a dictator? in front of the camera, I would no longer think two-dimensionally.
“There’s something about you that whirls, and whizzes, and buzzes, and vibrates,” she said, “and people will want to look at you. They’ll feel something, because there’s something pure and divine inside of all of us that looks for a reflection of ourselves—someone who has already learned, and who can teach us how to love ourselves. Those are the great leaders of the human spirit over so many millennia.
“Now,” she went on, “on the other hand, if you stand there in front of the camera and you’re judgmental, you can’t glow. And what people are looking for is somebody who glows—somebody who’s magnetic. And you can glow if you can see life in all these different forms in you, because your sphere of influence becomes the whole earth. People will want to tune in to you all over world.”
