The subject of acknowledgment, however, is an important one. It's important for the person who should be acked, but equally important for the person who ought be doing the acknowledging. This point being a reciprocal to the one I made in my earlier post on this thread.
Acknowledgment is an essential element in the reciprocation of life-force (exchange) between Beings. For the acknowledger, it enables him to keep his relationship lines clean and free of hung-up "traffic" that would otherwise manifest as "charge" . . . even if such charge might not be particularly observed because, for most folks it is so much the norm, it is not seen as being anything other than the "usual."
But I recommend an experiment . . . do some gracious acknowledging, and see how much cleaner you'll feel!

See how much closer to the other Being you'll feel!
Hell, you might even notice your space and reach has expanded!

And, horror of horrors, your control of your environment improves!

And better, the yabber-mouth might likely be less insistent at running on automatic when with you . . . and worse, you might even find you are actually understanding each other more! Heaven forbid . . . nah, that ain't natural!
But the cleverest trick of all, if you want to have a delightful relationship, is to not demonstrate your superior brilliance and knowledge at solving problems.

Yes ack and give big hugs, they are good, but after the ack and hug, things like: "and have you come up with any answer to it yet?" or, "Hmm, that's an interesting/difficult scenario, got any ideas on handling it?"
Gentlemen, it keeps the shit off your lines!
