The Power of Words
What if a superpower that held one of the keys to existence was hidden in both women and men? Our thoughts dictate our existence in more ways than we can comprehend. Essentially, we become what we think. The early records of many scriptures highlight the relevance and importance of the spoken word, which always follows a prior thought. Very few among us have had the opportunity to elevate our consciousness and become aware of the ongoing noise in our heads. That small voice within constantly reminds us of what is or isn't.
What if there was a way to raise our conscious awareness above the autopilot neuronal patterns of thought? Much like a fish in water, unaware at times that it's swimming, we could lift ourselves above the relentless self-talk. I remember vividly the day this breakthrough occurred to me over a decade and a half ago. I had just finished reading 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle. I was sitting in Maurice Gibb Memorial Park in South Beach, overlooking the bay in the late afternoon. The golden sun sparkled on the small waves of the bay. A gentle spring breeze surrounded me as I allowed myself to appreciate the beauty and forget, for a moment, all the painful instances of my existence. To many, including myself, my life was a rat race full of unbearable inadequacies. This revelation happened almost instantaneously, which I attribute to an act of Grace. For the first time in my life, the little voice in my head fell silent, and I peered into the true nature of reality. My senses expanded beyond the normal, and the mesmerizing beauty of the world around me completely captivated me for what seemed like an eternity. It was a preview of what would come over the next decade and a half. The experience of our natural state of being, which some describe as "Oneness," is indescribable yet truly transformative.
That day, I realized in a gnostic way that there was much more to our existence than I can still comprehend, but that my self-talk, positively or negatively, had much to do with the reality I experienced. An interesting empirical fact in my journey has been that receiving Grace is unlike a replicable science experiment. You can do the same practices time and again and attain different results; hence, any practices, rituals, or prayers may yield completely different outcomes even for the same practitioner. However, one of the important aspects is that one must always be open and a seeker until one finds the Divine within. Once found, one must stop seeking and melt into the fiber of existence, as this is the ultimate spiritual act.The acceptance of existence itself is, in fact, the highest manifestation of spiritual mastery.
In the meantime, one must navigate the complex weave of our relationship with reality and the implications of our positive or negative self-talk, fears, and traumas. Each provides a canvas for us to self-define in front of the experiences themselves. Are we going to rise to the opportunity life provides us, or are we going to succumb to the miseries it instills upon us? One may erroneously think that financial abundance would take away most of our life pains. Yet, I tell you, having experienced both ends of the spectrum in these regards, financial abundance is but a mild anesthetic that robs us of the opportunity to fully embrace the forces within us to embody our highest potential. In other words, I know first-hand that my greatest triumphs have come through the embrace of lack and pain, not the soothing of exuberance. Our character and relationship with Divinity are easier to attain when no material distractions exist. The ultimate Truth can only be known to those who find it in the void within. We can’t make the time or space to find the world within unless we are deprived of the outside world. No one can do this for you; one alone must embark on this journey; there are no mentors, masters, gurus, or scriptures that can transfer this wisdom; at best, they can point to the knowledge attained through their own journeys. Wisdom is, in fact, a gnostic experience and, in many cases, the result of Grace and our Father’s mercy upon each one of us. All that anyone can do is point you in the right direction, but the road is narrow and full of never-ending steep inclines.
So, how does all of this relate to the power of words and our thoughts behind them? There is a direct correlation between what we state or believe to be and what we perceive to be. The truth is indeed in the eye of the beholder. One can easily perceive a completely different truth than our neighbor, and, in fact, both are correct. In other words, all reality and truth perceived through our senses are subjective in nature. The only absolute truth I was able to find in my existence has been the Divine itself, yet even this can barely be comprehended in a minuscule aspect by any human mind. All the science I have studied has presented exceptions within the observations. That is all that science really is: a mathematical description of observations within certain parameters and/or accepted definitions, and in essence, it is still subjective. Yet you speak with scientists, and they have such a mental stronghold due to the indoctrination received during their education that it takes only a few great ones to accept how little they truly know; the same goes for many other professions, like doctors, engineers, etc.
It takes a lot of humility and courage to go against the societal norm, think beyond what we have believed to be “true,” and realize that everything is, in fact, subjective and seen through the lens of our senses and preconditioned minds. And what is behind all of this? The words we use. Reality or its definition is constructed in our minds using words. There is no more powerful combination than the words “I am…” Within them is the lock and key of our self-identifications; entire civilizations have flourished or were doomed due to their self-identifications. Every single most atrociously devastating act of humanity, including wars, has been done due to the subjective identification of “I am… followed by an adjective”. Yet the truth is that at our core, there is nothing, absolutely nothing but emptiness, and in that emptiness, one can find Divinity. But unless we gather the courage to completely disidentify ourselves with what “we believe to be real,” we can never find it.
The only reason Jesus stated to let the children come to me, "because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven," was because a small child still has not self-identified with anything. In such innocence, they can still coexist within the natural communion with our Father or, as others call it, The Holy Spirit. One must totally empty oneself to be in its presence. Realizing this, one can rebuild oneself to embody either darkness or light. Through a conscious choice, we are granted our free will to experience reality, which is always subjective based on the eye of the beholder, as even death itself is a mere rite of passage and either be seen as the end or the beginning.
My question to you today is, if you had a superpower that could alter the fabric of space and time itself and, like a small seed, could be planted in your subconscious mind and eventually provide a juicy sweet fruit, would you use it properly, or would you squander it?
I would like to invite you today to do an exercise, if you were to accept the challenge of changing your identifications, why not choose the ones that would make you a better version of yourself. A version that the whole world would turn around and look at you for inspiration? Here is a list of valuable self-identifications, you can read it every morning when you wake up as an inspiration as to how you want to show up in the world today. And who knows maybe if you put in the work, you will eventually find yourself bringing to the rest of the world exactly what you state you are.
