The Power of Words

Notice the power of words.  They point to that which cannot be named.  Be aware of the nature of the words you use and the emotions behind them.  Taking resposibility for life is easier and more straightforward than the mind would have you believe.  The words cannot be you because you exist to give them life, perceive and hear them.

Consider that as you grow aware of your choices of words and the intentions behind them, you have the power to stop using words that do not serve the highest being.  Be mindful.  Listen to your words.  What do they reveal? Watch what happens as you stop using words outgrown.  Your external world transforms.  What do you choose to see?  

Are your words empowering or disempowering? What do they say about optimism or pessimism? Is it your tendency to use the present tense or do use more past and future tenses? Which words reveal who you truly are and which words reinforce what you are not? Notice how your words influence the word choices and life perspective of others.  You are powerful beyond measure.  Every word you utter is a silent pointer.

Join us on Aware Talk Radio with Steven L. Hairfield (The American Monk) and Jeoff Hutcherson on Wed Nov 2 (or Thurs Nov 3 depending on your time-zone) when we explore this subject.  You can also listen to show archives.

"Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill." - Buddha

"Prayers and mantras show us how to express thoughts which are most noble, which are completely beneficial, pure, and good... these activities sow the seeds for good and right things in our mind which will become the basis for the expression of what will benefit ourselves and others." -Thrangu Rinpoche

Words are inherently free and dance together in formation to create information that amplifies a sense of what one is experiencing in the here and now. However, words that have been captured into servitude to fulfill an agenda often creates an emotional response. The words are then sentenced and dictated to fulfill a purpose. One has reactions to that which has been strung together when they are on the verge of letting go of the bonds that holds the string together. A sense of relief and connection or satisfaction is achieved when the purpose has either been fulfilled or when one sets free the reasons behind that which has been seriously set to stone.

The sentencing of the Words then ends when the Verdict has been overturned or when the book has been burned or absorbed back into one's essence never to be referred to or referenced again. This then is not censorship, but a reintegration of one's personal essence. The book then becomes unbound and the words are once more set free to dance to a new rhythm where new combinations are given birth to where this eternal Moment is Honestly Read.

Bern, words are vibrational energy that transform based on meaning we create. They are everything and nothing, filling apparent gaps in the void. Ponder this:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God." John 1:1

"In the beginning was Brahman, with whom was the Word; and the Word was truly the Supreme Brahman." Rig Veda

Hi Liara .. and that classic maxim: Think before you speak ..... gives time to think: should we be saying something, how, and with what words or attitude to the reply ... thanks - Hilary

Hilary, the power of words is immeasurable. Notice the feelings behind or underneath each chosen word. The feelings or emotions point to timeless messages of love and forgiveness that can be overlooked.
