A Lesson in the Power of Language

The three pillars of Neuro-Linguistic Programming are (1) language, (2) imagination and (3) emotion. In this piece I want to talk about language and how it works to shape our lives. While imagination and emotion are often discussed esoterically, language is this tangible thing that is acting upon us and coming from us all of the time. It shapes our culture and forms the foundation of our relationships with one another and, more importantly, with ourselves.

Yet, how often have you taken the power of language for granted? Like the oxygen we breathe, we rarely give it a second thought until something painful happens to make us reconsider our actions, our words, the messages we have put out to the universe.

Language is the tool that directs our thinking, and whatever you are thinking about-whatever your mind is focused on-will determine your success or your failure. How many times though have you said to yourself “I am going to change my thinking,” but all you did was try to change your thinking?(!) This is an exercise in futility. The easiest way to change how you think is to change your language, both internally and externally.

If you continuously language your communications to align with your personal vision of success and abundance, you are, in effect, directing your subconscious mind toward that goal. The same is true of your negative thoughts. If you are constantly expecting the worst, talking about your fears, imagining the future cloaked in possible failure, you will draw those experiences toward you.

We employ just 10% of our mental capacity while the other 90% lies dormant at the subconscious level. What would our lives be like if we learned how to program the infinite capacity of our minds toward our goals and outcomes?

Here are some little known facts about the subconscious mind:

• Your subconscious mind is programmed by your conscious mind, but often it is power without direction.
• Your subconscious mind takes language literally and personally. Language is one of the most important ways we program this power within us.
• That which we dwell on, feel to be real, and language accordingly, are the principal programming agents that guide our lives’ successes and failures.
• We have CHOICE. We are in charge of our minds and therefore our results. We have all the abilities and resources we require to succeed in life.

 What we require to accomplish is the study of how to awaken and direct our subconscious minds toward our goals. Language is a bridge to this awakening.

The subject on which you are dwelling is the temple at which you pray. Either the God of your negative thought forms or the God of your positive thought forms will answer. Your present day reality is a culmination of answers to your past thoughts. You have brought those answers into manifestation by what you consistently dwelt upon and “languaged” to be real. Because of the delay of time, you have forgotten what you called into being and thus created for yourself.

How will you recreate your tomorrows using the Power of Language?

Question:

It makes sense when you say “In that moment” because that tells us that based on the choices we have made: this is possible.

Gary:

Yes, based on the choices that we have made collectively until this point, this is what is possible out in the future.

Question:

And if I choose to sit in a room for the next 3 years it would be different.

Gary:

Yes, based upon the course of actions we take from this point forward whatever we experience 10 years from now out on our future timeline could take a shift. So that is why I think, the choices we make in each moment happens to become like a really sacred experience, where we have to begin to look at, and I just wrote about this, that every moment in time we have is an opportunity to either solidify the programming that we have already received or to shift the course of action and to shift the course of response to the world in a way that is in alignment with our soul. And we have that choice moment to moment to moment and our relationships happens to be the place where we play that out the most. Like Robert and I when we walk around, we like to joke around a lot, we joke around all the time, so we would see someone and we would go ” hm, who coordinated that accessory.. and we won’t make some sort of comment like that and we are constantly reminding each other, it is like: walk nice-give nice! And we would pass by someone who is really damaged on the street and we would look at each other and we would go: “did you do a prayer for them, as we walked by them?” It is about using our focus on our consciousness in a way that is going to produce that kind of person I am choosing to evolve into. I am not always there. I am there moments of time and it is a choice. So it depends on what we are choosing to do in those moments of time. I could live as easily in fear and scaresity as I could in my knowingness that I can create my life as I choose by focusing on certain things and being relentless until I achieve them. I can either be in fear in smallness and in a sense of victimization as easily as I can do the other of empowerment of choosing to produce my world in a way that is aligned with higher values for me. I could do ether. How many of you know, that when you wake up in the middle of a day you can either lay in bed and eat bonbons and watch TV all day or you can get up and you can write a book. You can literally do either or. And how you experience those experiences is how what you are going to evolve into and what you are going to be more of. I know that there is plenty of days I could just stay in bed, watch movies all day, eat lots of really bad food. I could easily, and I refuse. It is being relentless.

Question:

Do you have any tips, tricks, hints for those of us who are striving for relentlessness?

Gary:

Yes. Run this phrase over and over in your head: “Time is more precious when there is less of it to waste”!

You see, when you watch people die and you know that you could be that person, and for some reason you are not and you know that there is no more time for them, that time is over and the tremendous amount of agony at the things that were not and could not now be experienced, is overwhelming.

So, what I know is that procrastination kills the soul. It just kills the soul. It stifles your dreams. It robs you of your life-purpose and it creates such an immeasurable fear at the time of your death, because you realized you did not want you came here to do and the regret could fill an ocean. And I refuse to die like that.

I mean, some people think I am absolutely nuts for moving to Australia. They go like: You are just nuts, buddy! You are going to be 52 and you take your career that you have built for 20 years and you have it be up in the air for a while and then go to a whole other continent to see what you can create out of scratch? That is nuts! I ought to be retiring. And at the end of the day, you know what I have? I have my stories about what   had the courage to do. I don’ t have anything more than that. So, I figure go do something extreme. And that is pretty extreme, wouldn’t you say? I am a really creative guy, and I figure I can create something fabulous. One day I had a really good gig in Sydney. That is great, I got a corporate training company that is Australia-wide to hire me for two days to come in and training their people. And, so all the big VIP’s are coming to watch me. That could be huge! That could be just huge. Things are just going to happen, and I just have complete faith. What I guess I am suggesting, what I am really doing is, I am following the life speak. I am following the metaphors of how life is opening up doors and closing other doors. And I am following it. And I am following also what I feel and I am listening to life. And life has sent me so many messages about being in Australia for years. Did I tell you guys, the story about that psychic surgeon that did some work on me in Australia? Very interesting woman. My sponsors down there scheduled an appointment with me with this little lady, in sort of the outback of Australia. She has this little house out there in the suburbs somewhere and they booked this appointment saying: You have to go and see her. I was like: Bloody hell, I am going to go, I am going to lay down on this table in the middle of pictures of angles everywhere, the room is going to be pink and she is going to do some little woowoo and cantation. and I am going to look at her, saying ‘yeah that was really great’ and act like I had a big shift and walk out! I will do it for you guys. So, I go there, sure enough the room was painted pink, it was lavender, pictures of little angels everywhere, and I am like ” I knew it”. She is like doing her thing, hands and left hand up and right hand down on my body and going through the centers of my body saying things about what the angels are saying. I am like:’yeah, yeah..”. I kind of looked at that wall clock on the wall, thinking: ok, I am going to have another half hour! I am going through all this. Suddenly she came over to my left side and she says: ‘they told me to do something that I have never done before, so don’t freak out!’. I am like: ‘Oh great!!’. So she comes over and literally it’s like I felt two hands enter through, like energetic hands, spread my ribcage and enter into my body, and then surround my heard like this. All of the sudden there was this starburst of light and went of inside of me. My eyes were closed, and I was like ‘ that feels really weird.’ And I felt like there was these hands around my heart and then this starburst just happened. I opened up my eyes and I said: ‘What the hell are they doing?” Then, I was a believer. She said: “They just replaced your broken heart, because they said: ‘you can no longer do the work you are destined to do with the heart you have had.

I guess, if I could say something about my personality, I am not a happy person. I am basically a depressed person – in the past. I am not one of these guys ‘hey, I am happy, life is great, everything is wonderful..’ I am like ‘life sucks!’ And I am in a lot of pain, and I am lonely and I don’t like it here and I would like to go home, I don’t have to be here and life sucks! That is kind of my disposition. And of course, when I came back from that she sat me down and she said:’ I look at the world and she says ‘the visions I have had is, in 10 years none of the continents look the same, except for Australia. All the continents are different.’

You know the poles are shifting? Science has proven it, NASA has proven it, the poles are shifting. It is in the process of shifting. The poles are, they just are. There is animals migrating north instead of south right now. The world is in a very interesting place. She said to me: “I see healers migrating to Australia”, and she said “you are one of the heavy guns, you have to be here.” And I went “no,no.”

Language is Powerful Choose Wisely

Every cell of your body hears every word you speak.  The same brain cells are connected to every single cell of the body which presupposes whatever you are thinking every single cell of your body is hearing.  How many of you have gotten in touch with your death wish?  We had a young boy at the last Life Purpose training.  He was fourteen.  And it was one of the most powerful moments of my life.  Jesse had just been diagnosed with cancer.  He had a lump on his chest and his parents were there.  Jesse got up on these two chairs, actually.  I was sitting in one, he was sitting in the other, and we began the process that I use with each person I have in the Life Purpose training.  I began to ask him questions and go deeper into his language structure until we finally got to what his death wish was.  And when he finally got to it all he could do was sit in that chair and scream, ‘I want to die, I want to die, I want to die.’  And his choice was because he never felt loved.  It was profound what happened out of that.  What occurred in the process he was led through was he had a huge shift.  The whole room had a huge shift.  I’m still kind of emotional just thinking about it.  It was just a really peak experience for me.  His mother called me up two weeks later and said they had just been to the doctor and the tumor disappeared – because he chose to live.  His statement, which every cell of his body heard and every fiber of his emotional self heard, was, ‘I’m choosing to live.’  He did.  So your language, your emotions, create miracles within you.

Let’s progress.  Isn’t it a nice day?  It’s a nice day.  Won’t you do it for me.  Would you play the piano for me.  Can’t we ever talk.  Can we make time to talk.  Wouldn’t you like to go.  Would you like to go.  Don’t you like broccoli.  Do you like broccoli.  Didn’t we get the loan.  Did we get the loan.  Shouldn’t you stop that.  Would you stop hitting your little brother.  I love you, but…  I love you, and….  Has anyone ever said that to you – I love you, but…  Boy, you know you’re going to get their 411 on all the things they perceive as less than perfect about you.  Doesn’t it bother you.  Does it bother you.  Your subconscious mind takes your language literally and personally. 

Language of disempowerment.  Our subconscious mind takes our language literally.  Because we have been speaking informs that we hear around us daily we are often unaware of what we are actually programming into our subconscious.  Our goal is to use language that is outcome oriented first person accountable moving in the direction of our heart’s desire.  When we use the language of disempowerment we keep our thoughts and emotions in a place of stagnation, non-action, non-productivity.  I will explain.

Once you learn this information you will be speaking less.  I will almost guarantee that most of our collective dialog has been about our story, has been a very detailed description of what we’re moving away from rather than moving toward.  How many of you have known that to be true?  And this takes place not only in our external speech but in our internal dialog.  I will continue to use the metaphor that what you are contemplating, because your language is a symbol of your thinking, if you are speaking it, it means you are dwelling upon it.  If you are habitually speaking it, it means you are habitually dwelling upon it.  The temple at which you are praying is the god that will answer you.

I did a lot of study in India and the master would say to us in the evening, ‘Now, all the treasures of the three known worlds, the astral, the causal and the physical, can purchase even one human breath, that so precious is this breath of ours because only in this form, the physical body, can we make the greatest level of spiritual progress.  Only in this form.  The physical realm is huge beyond imagination.  The astral realm is supposed to be a thousand times more beautiful than the causal realm.  And the causal is supposedly just that much more beautiful than the astral realm.  The masters would say if a master takes a soul up to the astral realm and the soul is able to see what’s actually there, the soul would never leave.  It would just stay there in the lower astral regions because it is so beautiful.  We’re all our ideal weight at the astral realm.  We all just look stunning.  He would say they would never leave because the astral heavens are so beautiful.  And yet this form of ours is so precious.

You know the 7 chakras?  The 7 energy centers of the body?  They are literally the energetic vibration in microcosm of the 7 levels of creation.  This is why they say man and woman are made in the image and likeness of god.  We are the microcosm, energetically, of the entire creation.  We are the model of it.  Only in this form can we make the greatest level of progression in consciousness because we have free will.  Only in this form.  He would say the god for mom, the god that half the world worships, pines for the moment he can take a physical form.  So we’re praying to gods and the gods are saying, ‘hurry up and die so we can be you.’  We’re praying to the angelic realms.  Oh, angels, please come help me and the angels are going, ‘hurry up and get me so I can become human.’  The entire creation is contained within the energetic system of our bodies.

The masters would say, ‘In the realm and the great wheel of incarnations available to us, which is 188,000 different species, millions of different forms that a soul can incarnate to, the human form is the top of the ladder.’  Each one of us is coming to fulfil a very specific destiny.  One that only you can fulfil.  Just you.  No one else on the planet can do what you have come here to do.  If you stay trapped in the emotions of the story you have made up your destiny will go unfulfilled and there is nothing more tragic than knowing that you are leaving your body and you’ve yet to do what you’ve come here to do.  I’ve worked years with people with AIDS.  I’ve seen more people die than I care to remember.  And the difference between magnificently glorious death and a horrific one is the fulfillment that person has felt about what they accomplish in their life. 

So when we step out into our lives and go, ‘I’m the one.’  By this thought I manifest my world, my heaven or my hell.  I know it, I claim it, I do it.  When you take that kind of stand for your life and your ancestry, you activate and actualize the purpose of why you came.  The master says, ‘When a soul reaches enlightenment, it heals 25 generations back.’  You’re choosing to influence your family.  Get on to the very fact in this moment to create a healing rather than a condemnation.  The next opportunity you have to be with a difficult person, leap at it with an open heart so you can demonstrate to yourself something different.  And do it with love and kindness, with the power of thought, I stand in my light for your victory.  Do you more activate yourself?  Do you more step into the purpose of why you came and therefore fulfil the purpose of why your body is?  You do.

See, I have this vision of dancing out of my body.  When I go into the light, there’s going to be this huge party on the other side that says, ‘You finally did it!  You finally came here and did what you were supposed to do.’  All the other countless lifetimes were kind of ….  But this one you finally did it.  What my highest choice is that everyone, because you all have unique visions and unique things to do, that when it’s your time you dance out of your body and there’s a big party on the other side for you because you did what you came here to do.  And that’s what this information is about.

I had this thought once I was with someone who was passing away and it was, in my perception, pretty horrific and then about the last five minutes it was so peaceful and I thought Wow – what do I know what vision that person had or what conclusion they came to about their life.  How do I know that?

PEACE

If you have a flat tire on the side of the road, are you going to sit there and pray God will come along and actually fix your tire for you? Or are you going to use your legs, walk to the gas station, and get your tire fixed, knowing that God gave you the legs to do so?

Whatever you believe the power we call “God” to be, that power gave you imagination, language and the ability to evoke emotions, the key elements to conscious creating. For you are designed in such a way that every cell of your body hears every word you speak.

What if God looked down and said, “YES! Whatever you are dwelling on, whatever you are contemplating, I have no judgment! There is no death, and there is no good or bad. I am just one big ‘Yes!’ Whatever you ask for, the answer is ‘Yes.’ Disease and pestilence. Yes! Wealth and abundance. Yes!”

How weird, right? Or is it?

It’s all a belief anyway, so how do you know for sure? And IF the power we call God is like this-if God is this pragmatic-would it be useful to learn how to direct the mind?

As you observed in my story about the boy with cancer, language and collective agreement create huge shifts. From your emotional states you create an internal reality that affects your body as well as others around you. The question is, how will you manage this dynamic? Will you habitually harness the power of your word, therefore creating better choices around emotionally driven behaviors? Or will you follow the path of least resistance and continue with unbridled language and emotions?

When we think about our language, we require to be aware that our language is a symbol of the way we think. As if in a picture window, every word you speak, every non-verbal cue you give-no matter how subtle-is on display for the world to see. And what you say to others, verbally and non-verbally, deeply affects them. Remember, we live in a human ecology where each individual greatly impacts the world as a whole.

The presuppositions inherent in our language promote self awareness, keeping us focused upon the eternal now. Focused language creates huge impacts, not only on your immediate circle of influence, but on the world at large. It is a creative force in the most literal sense. Take comfort in the knowledge that you walk in this life with a purpose greater than what you may immediately observe.

Disciplining your use of language is akin to practicing urban Shamanism because it takes a great deal of focus to shift and transform it. I invite you to eliminate the practice of speaking to what has happened-to your “story”-and instead speak only to your eternal now. I also invite you to stop speaking of your fears about the future, and begin speaking in detail about the steps you are taking to manifest your desired outcomes.

In summary, conscious creation through the presupposition of language unfolds like this:

 You create small action steps that you can perform on a daily basis.

1. You begin to language your world according to your outcomes, exclusing fear based thoughts and communications.
2. In turn, you acquire greater control of your emotional states.
3. From these more stable emotional states, you acquire the motivation necessary to complete each step to manifest your outcomes.
4. As you begin actually manifesting your outcomes, your self worth increases.
5. As your self worth and influence increases, you begin to attract greater opportunities to yourself.

 It all begins with the discipline to harness the power of your word. By using language that is outcome oriented, you will find that you need to speak less often and with less urgency. When you do speak, it will be powerful; people will listen; and you will become a conscious creator.

Love & Light
