INTERCOURSE

Children are a product of intercourse and so, are the rich and the poor, in wisdom and in wealth.

What is Intercourse?

Mariam Webster English Dictionary defines Intercourse as the "exchange, especially of thoughts or feelings".

The word intercourse originated from the Latin word intercurrere meaning "to run between, intervene, mediate". 

Running through the years of its specific usage; Intercourse in the 1540s referred to "frequent and habitual meeting and contact, social communication between persons". In the 1560s, it referred to "mental or spiritual exchange or intercommunication". In 1798, the word was interpreted as "sexual relations"- which is the most common usage of the word. The usage of intercourse revolves mostly around communication than in other contexts.

In my own words, I will define Intercourse as "a mingling of ideas at various levels of communication". 

That is, ideas are mingled through the process of communication or interaction. The end and center of communication is intercourse. We can not conclude that communication has taken place if there is no intercourse(mutual understanding). Intercourse and communication are intertwined.

The word “communication” stemmed from the Latin noun communicatio, which means sharing or imparting. Communication then can be said to be "the exchange of ideas between two entities". Everything under the heavens, human beings, animals, plants, atmosphere, weather, insects, things, places, etc interact and communicate at their paces and spaces. 

The end of what occurs between two entities is what I call intercourse. The fruit of intercourse is usually physical. For instance, the interaction(communication) between a seed and the earth results in a big tree, and its fruits are the physical and edible results of the intercourse which happens during the communication between the earth and the seed.

Procreation is another instance of this, the physical contact or interaction or communication between a male and a female results in intercourse, thereby bringing about a pregnancy-a child.

Let us now talk about intercourse among human beings. 

Human beings have the grace to communicate among themselves, with nature, and with the spiritual realm. Hence, I grouped communication among humans into five types, which are;

1. The Physical Communication 

2. The Mental communication

3. The Emotional Communication

4. The Social Communication

5. The Spiritual Communication

The Physical Communication 

Physical communication could be verbal, non-verbal, visual, or written. It is simply a physical interaction among human beings, a process of passing and receiving information.

The Mental communication

Mental communication is the ability to impact and receive specific information or knowledge about a specific idea, especially in academics. This could be through a direct (teaching, coaching, training) or indirect (reading) method.

The Emotional Communication

Emotional communication is the process of transferring and receiving feelings. It involves the mind bonding with people, things, or ideas. This can also be classified as psychological communication which awakens the mind to every bit of signal emotionally. Emotional communication can be verbal or nonverbal, so long it stirs feelings.

The Social Communication

Social communication is the process of interaction with nature. This involves a conscious and unconscious interaction with people and things in one's environment. Since humans are fundamentally social beings, the breath of their existence is in their daily interaction with the world around them.

The Spiritual Communication

This is the interaction between the soul-mind of a man and the spiritual realm. It is the bonding of the soul to the spiritual realm.

Spiritual communication is somewhat intrapersonal communication, it is the willing or yielding of one's soul to the spirit(demonic or holy spirit).

Human beings, endowed with the grace to communicate at various levels- physically, mentally, emotionally, psychologically, socially, and spiritually are a product of their communication. I mean, whatever you see in a man(be it success or failure) is the result of the intercourse he has had so far, at these various levels of communication.

You have the chance of making out your life through communication-whatever transpired will be revealed in your life.

You have the chance to choose who stays in and around your life. Why? Because there's always a mingling of ideas and mindsets, when you communicate physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually with people, their mindset is mingled with your own and that can lay a great impact on your life, it is an automated thing.

 I am often spanked by this biblical statement; He that works with the wise shall be wise. Howbeit, mere walking makes wise. It means what transpired is far deeper than just walking but intercourse. No wonder the saying; show me your friend and I will tell you who you are.

The mindset of the people around you is capable of elevating you or pulling you down, choose the right circle to get the right intercourse.

A man has the chance to choose what spiritual realm he yields his soul to. Whosoever or whatever spirit a man yields his soul to controls his life. If you yield your soul to a demon, you will be controlled by a demonic spirit, and if you yield your soul to the holy spirit, you will be controlled by the holy spirit. Spiritual intercourse is most powerful, in that, one's soul can be bonded with the spirit of whoever he consistently listens to and emotionally bonds to.

You have the chance to choose who and what ideas you bond with, emotionally because emotions are not easy to get rid of, they can wrongly impact a man's life.

To get good results out of life, living demands so much intentionality, hence human beings have to consciously choose who and what and whom they communicate with because you are a reflection of your intercourse.
