Words are magic because they define and create our next experiences.  Yes, I know that most people’s experience doesn’t bear that out but that’s ONLY because we have become habitual masters at unconsciously denying our power and freedom.

For example:  What would be your response if I suggested that you could make a million dollars easily if you begin saying the following affirmation?

“I make a million dollars easily in passive income this year.”

There are two categories of response to that.  One is agreement and one is denial of agreement.  If you agree that such an affirmation will work then you are already conscious of the power you wield and you wield it consciously.  If that is the case, you undoubtedly already have your millions of dollars that you received easily.

If you deny that there is any power in that affirming statement, you are conscious only of your powerLESSness (at least in the area of receiving millions of dollars), and you are calling that “reality.”  Your language will be full of defining your powerLESSness.  You’ll say things like,

  • That won’t work.
  • There’s not enough time left in the year.
  • I’d rather just trust God.
  • Millions of dollars doesn’t just appear as the result of a stupid sentence that I say!
  • You’re crazy if you think that’ll work.
  • I don’t know how to make a million dollars in a year so it won’t work for me.
  • That can’t work in this terrible economy.

Do you see how your mind and conversation will fill up with denials of the creative power you wield with your language?  It will feel like you’re only reporting on reality as you see it.  That’s because you’re unconscious of the most fundamental role language plays in creating your experience. 

In that state of unconsciousness people don’t realize that their “report” is actually creating the reality they believe they are simply reporting.  Of course it feels like “that’s how reality is” because they are continually reinforcing that reality by putting their power into it, via their spoken and silent words, and unconsiously preventing their power from creating a new reality.

It’s easy to feel the resistance and denial in a statement as big as the one above.  However, it’s the everyday “little” unconscious reports that make our daily lives fill with struggle and stress.  Things like,

  • This is hard.
  • I wish I didn’t have to be here.
  • I hate going to work.
  • My neighbor is annoying.
  • I don’t have time.
  • I wish life could be easier.
  • I’m confused
  • I can’t do (whatever).
  • I don’t know what to do.
  • This is a mess!

If words really are magic (and they are) it’s easy to see that the above list of “reports” are about creating a reality that is against you.  Not a soul on this planet would consciously choose to create such a reality.  And that’s the key – we aren’t doing it consciously.  We are doing it because we are largely unconscious of the power we wield with every word we speak and think.

I know this is true because I have been studying and testing the role of language in my life for over fourteen years.  I have thousands of examples where I changed my reality on a dime.  That wouldn’t be possible if I were not wielding an amazing power with only my choice of language, both silent and spoken.

You can go to my website at http://www.LanguageOfAttraction.com and listen to a free 45 minute audio presentation called The Eight Words That Will Change Your Life.  In it you’ll hear two stories that make it easy to see the creative role language plays in our lives.  You’ll also get a lot of suggestions about ways to begin using this astounding power consciously.

Nearly everyone in our society thinks that our creative power is about belief but I have not been able to demonstrate that in my life.  Language as the creative control point, however, is easy to demonstrate and prove.

For those readers who have read the Ringing Cedars book series, what is your language doing for you?  Is it working for you or against you as you think about creating your kin domain and transitioning to a life supported by nature and all that is?  Are you speaking your success or your struggle?  Are you speaking your support or your need for support?

On the English Forum (www.ringingcedarsforum.com) I read a LOT of entries where people are creating against themselves instead of in support of their joy.  Begin paying attention to what you’re creating when you thought you were just reporting.

Wishing us all the best we can imagine and speak,
