“Speech has power,

Words do not fade.

What starts out as a sound,

Ends in a deed.”

— Abraham Josua Herschel

Words are spiritual truths that are imprinted within the blueprint of our DNA, and the bridge between the inner and outer worlds. The spoken word travels through an ocean of waves and energy that never ceases to exist. In emotional irresponsibility, words can make us weak, holding us captive until we free ourselves. During our silent conversations with words, we are offered suggestions tied to emotions that need to be deciphered and interpreted to unlock their understanding and power.

The spoken word is only the beginning of human communication. Body language and silence also hold within them the spoken word. The spoken word can be translated as the spoken world.

Every thought, feeling, and emotion becomes a creation. Without clear intentions and obtaining awareness, a person cannot move into the first stage of creation and become the maker of worlds. The other side of the coin is that we can also become the destroyers of worlds. Family and culture gift language to us in a box with labels, titles, and preconceived notions of authenticity.

The spoken word is divine and a direct link to our higher power. Language is not subjective because it is not something that we have created ourselves. There are consequences to being irresponsible with words. Every word gets stored in our cells with a signature that holds a vibrational frequency. When we open our mouths to speak, a command is uttered and an agreement is made. Words summon a sacred and ancient sovereignty.

Words alchemize, forming vibrations and frequencies. A baby in the womb receives vibrations from the mother and the surrounding environment. The infant who does not speak yet understands the language being spoken, but does not know its intention. The source of the spoken word is not revealed in its definition, our bias, or from higher learning, but in the very structure of its incantation alone.

“Language is the foundation of civilization. It is the glue that holds a people together. It is the first weapon drawn in a conflict.” — Arrival (2016 movie)

The spoken word transforms and evolves the human species and enrolls us in a new school of thought and becoming. Allow your words to take your life to places you never thought possible. Learning how to use our power not only will save our own lives, but those around us also. The conversation is the place where one lives and dwells and cannot be escaped, but only in surrender and intentionality. Every word we choose can be tailored to offer liberation.
