==Metacommunication==
Metacommunication is the process of communicating about communication, for example, to discuss a past conversation and to determine the meanings behind certain words, phrases, etc.. It can be used as a tool for sense making, or for better understanding events, places, people, relationships, etc.. The ability to communicate on the [[meta-level]] requires [[introspection]] and, more specifically what is called [[metacommunicative competence]]. It is not a distinct form of communication as seen from the five aspects mentioned in the introduction.

(Perfected [[space]] '''communication''' is to be had on all these worlds; and your anywhere reception of such communications is made possible by carrying the "harp of God," a [[morontia]] contrivance compensating for the inability to directly adjust the immature morontia sensory [[mechanism]] to the reception of space communications.)
