In fact a person in a valence, can talk forever all about every problem the valence has and merely loose havingness until he has nothing left at all except a problem starved valence madder than hell. Talk needs to be directed to in valent issues that will as-is. These often are highly alter-ised creations that were then subsequently not-ised and pushed off to the side, so if you ask the person 'What's up Doc?' he will *NEVER* come up with the answer, as he will always choose to run his havingness down rather than own up to infinite joy. Thus 'listening' needs to be balanced by a surgically acute ability to cut short waste of time valence droning until the valence is broken and the being has nothing left to talk about except for the underlying stuff. It is for this reason that not just anyone can do good auditing, it takes skill, experience and being able to be in valence oneself. Homer
