Metaphysics is the science of looking beneath the surface of what is or seems to be. It is the study of the underlying energy of life and the creative process in all things. Our words and the intention behind them create the force that sets the creative process in motion within our world. Simply put, our words create our world. Our thoughts and emotions define our world and ourselves within it.
I love exploring the energy of words, the energies behind them and the energy often left in the dust of our words and how they affect not only our life, but the lives of those around us. Our words are powerful and very often misused. Words are not only creative, but destructive as well. They can build up or tear down. It is not only the words, but the charged energy behind them that creates the trail of dust that strongly influences and affects the energy of others.
As an example, the word encourage may be backed by love or someone holding a vision of something great for us…She loving said, “I encourage you to get out there and live your life.” On the other hand the energy backing the word may hold threat or control…She angrily said, “I encourage you to get out there and live your life.” The dust left with the first statement may be that of inspiration or a feeling of support. The dust left with the second statement may be a feeling of threat, less than or failure. We can charge our words with love, kindness, compassion and good intention or charge them with lesser energies.
As I have looked around the world, listening to the media over the last year (opinionated political view points, news, social media, TV sitcoms and movies), reading diverse sites in regards to current events, and speaking with people-friends of all color, race, and gender, I asked myself how I would currently describe the energy behind the words and the aftermath created over the last 12 months.
The energy behind the words of the Political arena and the Media, including social media, in the process of trying to create something new; Charged, Fight, Accusatory, Damning, Generalizations, Insincerity, Exclusive, Sensationalism, Self Justification, Manipulation, Intolerance to alternative Opinions, Lack of Education or Educating Truth, Condemning, Sarcastic, Self-Serving, Sensationalized, Indignant, Half-Truths and Misinformation, Self Centered, Inciting, Greed, Dark, Judgmental, Hopeless, Doom, Right-Wrong, Lack, Owed, Fear, Opinionated, Negative, Dramatic, Arrogant, Belligerent, Juvenile, Anger, Controlling…
The aftermath or dust I see with those in my life and community varies from individual elevation of Mistrust, Fear, Emotion, Division, Strong Opinions, Arrogance, and Anger. I find many people very Misinformed, Indifferent to the Whole, Lacking Compassion, Kindness and Empathy. Some have Lost Faith, Lost Hope, Lost Purpose, Questioning, Feeling Separation, Lonely and Insecure. They are experiencing more Stress, Anxiety and Depression. Others have experienced an increase in the energy of Fight, Hate and Rebellion. As the Dust has settled, some have stepped back in the growth process, while others have soared forward ignoring the dust, having held their faith in Spirit and Humankind with elevated Love, Family, Giving, Caring, Community, Kindness, Compassion, Faith, and Growth.
What words do you feel describe the energy of communication in our world currently? Listen to the energy behind the words. What words define the energy in your individual world? Our thoughts and emotions define our world. Our words create. Listen with awareness this week.
Our words can be used to inspire or bless our world and humanity or to breakdown and destroy. There is no distance, time or space in the world of thought. Our thoughts and words have the ability to hurt others whether they are present or not. It is time to choose a new way of communicating. It begins by Letting Go of Gossip, Judgment and Hurtful Sarcasm. It begins by Letting Go of Blame, Division and Drama. I believe that we can all grow through a kinder way of communicating.
Higher Communication begins with choosing what we really want to create and express in the world as well as the energy in which we want to create and express, realizing that fight, control, greed, drama, manipulation and anger amplify. Love, kindness, giving, joy and compassion amplify. The energy we put out always returns to us. What imprint do you want to make on the world this year? Align your words with your desires. Be aware of the dust you create. Do not let the words and dust of others define your world.
