Self Talk: Creating Worlds with Words

The power latent within the spoken word is a concept our post modern culture rarely considers, let alone puts into action. Yet, the ancients understood this well; having drawn their example from the most sacred of texts that described in full detail this creative force known as the Spoken Word.

On parchments dating back to the time of antiquity, scribes arduously penned with exacting detail the act of creation as being set in motion by the mere words of the Creator. Regardless of our stance on religious or spiritual matters; there is something about the ancient texts that awakens within each of us an insatiable hunger to know more!

The Spoken Word, was coined from an ancient Hebrew word known as Logos; which by definition means: "thought, concept or essence". In simple terms, this same Spoken Word became the very thought, concept and essence of the source from which it was derived. Hence, the Spoken Word became the embodiment baring the life-giving, creative essence of the one who spoke it!

Scribes understood the implications of this ideology well. To them, it encompassed more than even the single act of creation in all of its grandeur and majesty. The Spoken Word was to them, an active, creative force that once unleashed, continued creating; which may very well explain the mystery behind our galaxy expanding at an ever-increasing rate.

Even more compelling is that these scribes in all of their diligence and relentless quest for knowledge came to understand another, often-ignored principle behind this creative, spoken word. They discovered that this "creative" force still worked, albeit on another level. People began to adapt this mindset and concept of the spoken word and started putting it to practice!

One scholar and prophet of old declared that "God calls those things that be not as though they (already) were." But, the most renowned of them said it this way: "If YOU say unto this mountain be thou removed and cast into the sea, it shall obey you." What does all of this indicate? 1) That the power of the Spoken Word still works 2) Impossible situations are turned into possibilities 3) This power is given unto individuals who believe in it and exercise that belief by "saying" or "speaking" the Spoken Word and thereby, unleashing its creative power.

This is why I make it a practice to say this simple phrase every day: "I am blessed, I am wealthy, I am a success!" Though simple in concept; it carries deeper, more profound significance. "

I am blessed" means that you are endowed with favor and giftedness. It also entails having a grateful heart. Grateful hearts lead to happy, productive lives and success and good things always seek to make their abode in a habitat of happiness and productivity!

"I am wealthy" by definition indicates financial prosperity but in actuality; it means so much more. It can mean having a wealth of knowledge, of close family members, of dear friends or of talents. The person who has the wealth of family and friends is far richer than the monetarily rich individual without them.

"I am a success" is the summation and all encapsulating term defining what most people seek- success! This could mean in business, in education or in living out the life of one's dreams! Announcing that you are a success is reaffirming your self-confidence and confirming your faith to believe these things are not only possibly but that you are deserving of them.

When you speak these things outwardly, you unleash the creative force that can make them a reality! By openly declaring your dreams and publicly announcing your goals and aspirations as if they have already occurred; you invariably welcome them into your life. By speaking present tense of those things you desire most in your life, even though in appearance they seem to be anything but "real", you invite a miracle from the future to traverse backwards in time to the present and thus, blow into your reality!

People who constantly pronounce the negative or declare the contrary heap those very things unto themselves. This is not to say that we deny current affairs or live unprepared; but our state of mind becomes our state of being. Individuals who constantly speak of their bad health conditions; not surprisingly, have bad health. The reason is; they have invited the negative into their lives by constantly creating a negative world with their very words! The negative, just as does the positive seeks out a place of habitation to exist and flourish in. When words are spoken of a pessimistic connotation; this activates the negative charge and causes the negative to be attracted to the source of the negative: YOU! Yet, the good news is; this can be changed by simply speaking good things; positive things so that the positive can hone in on the source: YOUR LIFE!

You can control outcomes, change circumstances and welcome the kind of life that you dream of and deserve by simply "calling" what is not yet- into existence! You can turn negative and contrary circumstances into something positive, progressive and full of purpose by simply speaking to those "mountains" in your way. Those negative situations will have to obey, move out and allow the positive and blessed circumstances back in where they belong!

When you speak the Spoken Word, you unleash the very thought, concept and essence of that word, in whatever capacity. That Spoken Word becomes the embodiment of the source from which it came; which happens to be you. In other words, your Spoken Word is an extension of yourself; bringing the essence of all you hope to become- now into existence!

If your world is to have a life of purpose and abundance or favor, simply speak the Spoken Word and its creative force will begin to create your reality accordingly!
