People may be speaking clearly and others may know how to listen---yet there be no real listening. Listening may be blocked by collusions which make it impossible to hear with understanding any messages which would undermine the collusions. Focusing upon the technologies of speaking---writing, listening, and reading---will not remove the blockages to listening if they originate in collusions. Blocked listening is not a technical problem and can not be solved by technical means. Blocked listening is best responded to in non- technical ways. Collusions which block listening originate in social conditions which generate perverse coping behaviors. To deal with blocked listening one must listen to those whose listening is blocked---and come to understand reality as they understand reality---and so learn how blocked listening may best by dealt with by unblocked listening on the part of people who are free to listen, because they are free of collusions which block the needed listening. It is important to recognize that taboos, traditions, collusions, customs, languages, presuppositions, laws, etc.---often act to block listening as well as acting to block speaking, writing, publishing, etc. Communication may be effectively blocked at any of a number of places in the total process: subconscious articulation, consciousness of articulation, expression, perceptions of expressions, perception of meaning, internalization of meaning, etc. Agents of blockage may undermine communication by blocking at any of these places, including at the level of listening. Listening to certain messages may be made illegal, taboo, improper, terrifying, etc. Thus people may not listen due to a fear that is so deep as to be unknown, rather than for lack of technique in listening. Blocked listening is not unblocked by techniques, but may be unblocked by the power of love through unblocked listening which open doors to mutual awareness and mutual understanding without fear.
