Did you know it has been scientifically proven we use only 20 per cent of our brain when communcating? Making deeper connections within our own selves and with other people could be much more profound.
During the 1960s, psychologist, Albert Mehrabian, carried out a set of studies on communicating of feelings and activities.
1967, the pivotal year where Mehrabian noted:

7% of our communication is through words (verbally, speaking)
38% of our communication is through the tone of our voice (vocal, voice, tonality)
55% of our communication needs is through facial expression (non-verbal cues)
Often referred to as the 7-38-55 rule.  
What this does not mean

❌ This does not mean we only use 20% of our brain

❌ This does not apply to all communication (e.g. teaching, writing, theology, storytelling, or reasoned argument)

❌ This does not mean words do not matter

The psychologist himself later clarified that his findings only apply when words and non-verbal cues contradict each other, especially in emotionally loaded situations. Thus creating 'incongruity'.

And heres why it still matters:

🟢 It can highlight something very real and very human:

🟢 We instinctively read or sense tone, posture, and presence

🟢 Trust, safety, and sincerity are often felt before they are understood intellectually: subjectivity.

🟢 Many pastoral theologians, doctors, nurses, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, spiritual directors, and relational experiences in general, later resonate with this—not because words are unimportant, but because truth is embodied. A subjective experience. A human sensical experience.  

From a Christian lens, this fits beautifully with:

“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14)

Jesus didn’t only say truth—He lived it, showed it, walked it, and looked people in the eye.
From a secular world view, we are so much more than the words we speak. And very often, breaking through those incongruencies can shape a clearer writing experience, shaped through trusting subjective process to help reach a truer more fruitful experience.
