"Nothing is more important than feeling good" "Everything is unfolding perfectly according to a divine plan, even when we can't see it." |
In The Beginning,
There Was The Word Click here to hear an audio version Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. What crap! Who wrote that? And why, for God’s sake, do we keep SAYING it? There has never been a more UNTRUE statement written. Like me, I’ll bet you have encountered a few sticks and stones along the way. And like me, I’d bet that they have healed pretty well. Yeah, you might have a scar or two to remind you, but scars are places of strength and the pain is usually gone pretty quickly. But words…now that’s a different story. Words have a way of cutting deep, so deep that the wound may not heal. Think about it, are there words in your head that someone said to you 20 or 30 years ago that have NEVER gone silent? Have you spent years in counseling or therapy trying to make the words go away? If you have, you are not alone. The book of Genesis in the Bible states that, “In the beginning, there was the word.” So what does that mean and why are words so powerful? So what is the word and why does it matter? Simply put, words are the first level of manifestation from the unseen realm into what we refer to as reality. For anything to manifest in our lives, it starts with a thought. That thought comes into our body through the top of our head from the unseen realm. Once we get that thought, we roll it around in our head for a bit. We can play with it, change it, watch it, and even dismiss it if we choose. If we choose to stay with it, however, it will make its way down in the body, moving toward the mouth. At this point, the thought is still pure energy. You cannot see it and you cannot measure it. If, at this point, you choose to dismiss it without ever saying a word, it will just go back into the neatherealm. If however, make a commitment to this thought form and you choose to speak of it, you literally take thought (energy) and you transform it into form. The thought now has form. This is the power of creation itself. Our words are perhaps our most powerful tool as humans because with our words we have the power to bring ideas into reality. Our words start a chain reaction in the universe that is beyond our comprehension. Through the word, we give birth to ideas, making them a reality. Once we say the word, however, the universal forces expect us to KEEP our word. That is never truer than when the word makes a commitment to action, especially if that commitment is in conjunction with a larger vision. For instance, lets say you have an idea to create something new, let’s say, you’ve been given the vision of starting a new business. It’s everything you have ever wanted to do or be and you can just see yourself having this new business. You know where you’d like it to be, what its name will be, what it looks like and how much you’re going to charge. You have fallen in LOVE with this idea. It has been rolling around in your head for the last few months or years and you’ve decided that you want to do it. So you tell your friends. And maybe you write a business plan. And the idea takes on a life of its own. It just grows and grows. Now instead of having one location, in your head you have 20 locations all around the world. You have millions of people who are interested in your new product instead of hundreds. The idea has taken on a life of its own. And then what happens? You get scared. You start to think that you can’t possibly do all of this, that it will never work, and blah, blah, blah. And so you start to talk yourself out of it. So, you say, at least you didn’t make a huge mistake! At least you didn’t get into something that you can’t handle! At least you’re not into debt up to your ears with no retirement fund! After all, you were just TALKING about it. Thank God you didn’t actually DO ANYTHING about it! Sorry to tell you folks, but from a universal perspective, when you spoke the words, you DID something about it. You already gave birth to the idea and now, from a cosmic perspective, you are anticipated to raise that idea to full maturity. And if you choose not to follow through with your commitment, particularly if it is done from the perspective of fear, you have committed what may be considered a cosmic crime, and you are setting yourself up for illness or disease. It’s important to note, however, that this is not a form of punishment that is handed down from the divine for not keeping your word. Rather, it is a form of self-punishment because the word has now taken form in your energy field. It has become a part of who you are. Until it is either birthed or aborted, it will affect distress in your system because it is bringing up your greatest lessons. You see, the bigger the idea, the more power it has to transform your life. Inherently, you know that. And you know that if you follow that idea, everything in your life with change. Now this sets up an internal conflict. You have been asking the universe to bring stuff. Perhaps you want more money or a job you love or to follow your soul path or to make a difference in the world. It doesn’t matter what it is, you have been asking for it and now the universe has delivered. It has brought you an idea that will fulfill all of your hearts desires and put you right smack dab in the middle of your life’s mission. BUT (here’s the hard part), now you are expected to DO YOUR PART. You are expected to keep your word. And often that requires looking your greatest fears in the face and letting go a lot of things you don’t want to let go of! If you choose to follow your fears instead of your dreams, your body will experience conflict. The body will prod you to follow your highest potential until such a time as you either act on your vision or you abort it completely. If you decide to abort your vision, make sure that you do it COMPLETELY. It must be released from your body entirely for you to be able to heal. If you still dream about it and certainly if you keep talking about it, you will very likely have physical pain. It is the body’s way of helping you. If, however, you release the word completely, take solace in the fact that sooner or later, you will be downloaded with another idea and you will get the opportunity all over again. So what is the moral of the story? Simple. Through your words you are a creative being. You take energy and you transform it into something tangible. This is an awesome responsibility and one that deserves respect. So take heed and choose your words carefully. ©2005 |
