Why word is power

Words Have Power

Pao L. Chang, Guest
Waking Times

Words are more than elements of speech or writing. When spoken out loud, words transform into frequency and vibration that can be used to harness energy and harm or heal the body. In the occult world, certain words are used along with rituals and sacred geometries to direct and control energy to create certain desired effects. This process of using words, rituals, and sacred geometries to control and direct energy is known as magic. Be aware that I am not talking about magic tricks.

The most powerful thing in the Universe is energy. If you learn how to control and direct energy, you will become one of the most powerful people on Earth. This is why the Dark Magicians/Controllers of the world are so obsessed with the process of controlling energy. The key to controlling energy is magic, which is the art of using sacred sound, sacred geometry, and natural forces to direct and control energy to produce certain desired effects.

Why Words are More Powerful than Swords

Words are powerful because they carry energy, sound, and frequency, which are some of the building “blocks” of matter. Furthermore, they carry information that can be used as knowledge to create or destroy things. When this knowledge is turned into wisdom, it becomes very powerful and can be used to expand a person’s consciousness and spiritual powers. This is why knowledge is power!

  • Did you notice that the term words is an anagram for the term sword? Switch the letter “s” in the term words to the front and you get the term sword. Words are like swords because they can be used to harm you. In a way, words are more powerful than swords for the reason that they can harm or heal you at the deepest levels of your being.

    Many popular religious books have said that knowledge is one of the keys to awakening our spiritual powers and achieving spiritual freedom. One of those religious books is the Bible. In the King James Bible verse John 1:1, it says “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” This verse is talking about the force and information of the Universe, which can be expressed through words. The Bible is written in allegories, so if you read it literally, you are not acquiring the right information.

    The Term Word Means Source

    In Greek, the term word means logos. The word logos is defined as “the source that controls the universe, the written word or inspiration of God, or a logic and rational argument.” In ancient Greek philosophy, the word logos is defined as “the controlling principle in the universe.”

    Today, the concept of logos can be found in every religion, such as Christianity. To find the concept of logos in Christianity, all you need to do is read certain verses of the Bible. In the King James Bible verse John 1:1, it says “In the beginning was the Word“. The deeper meaning of the term word is logos, which is “thesource that controls the universe”. In other words, “In the beginning was the Source“. This is the Source that created the Force of Nature.

    One important thing you should know about the King James Bible is that it was translated from the original Greek, and therefore when it says “In the beginning was the Word”, it is talking about the Source that created the Universe. Remember, in Greek, the term word means logos.

    The word universe is composed of two words, which are uni and verse. The prefix uni originated from the Latin word unus, meaning one. As for the word verse, it means “a line of poetry“. Based on these two definitions, the word universe means “one line of poetry“. A line of poetry usually has words that have allegorical and metaphorical meanings.

    To connect the dots, the hidden knowledge/information within the word universe tells us that the Universe is an abstract reality field made of poetic and magical word/logos/force. In other words, we live in a magical and poetic “play” known as the Universe, and therefore the Prime Creator is the author and we are the co-authors. Quantum physicists have done experiments proving that the Universe is indeed an abstract or dream-like reality field composed of energy forces.

    Another word that has a strong connection to the term word is the term light. Light is sometimes referred to as photon. In physics, a photon is usually indicated by the symbol γ, which is the lower case letter of the Greek symbol Γ (gamma). Some etymologists believe that the Greek word gamma is where the wordgrammar originated from. In English, grammar means “the study of the classes of words, their inflections, and their functions and relations in the sentence”.

    Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia.org that does a great job of defining the occult definition of grammar:

    Grammar is the art of inventing symbols and combining them to express thought; logic is the art of thinking; and rhetoric is the art of communicating thought from one mind to another; the adaptation of language to circumstance.

    The occult definitions of certain words in this article reveal that grammar or the way words are used has the potential to direct and control energy or light/radiation. In the Bible verse Genesis 1:3, it says “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” In this verse, the Bible tells you that God used words/logos to manifest light. Keep in mind that the word light has a strong connection to the term word and grammar. In other words, the Universe was created from light and word/logos. The word logos is defined as “thesource that controls the universe”.

    Logos also translates to ratio, symbol, reason, idea, and logic. The ancient Greek people believed that the power of the logos can be expressed through words and be used to create mystical things (i.e., sacred geometry) through sound. Have you ever wondered why the symbols of corporations are called logos? It has to do with magic and sacred geometry! The process of using logos (source, energy, force) to create things, such as sacred geometry, can be seen in cymatics.

    Here is a quote from the Bible verse Hebrews 4:12 that talks about how powerful words are:

    For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    By now you should know how powerful words are. What most of us do not know about words is that they have hidden knowledge attached to them. The process of using words to hide certain knowledge was purposely done by the Dark Forces to hide their true intentions and prevent us from knowing the secrets of the Universe. It is one of their ways of hiding information in plain sight. One of the reasons why they do this is to prevent them from violating our free will.

    Certain secret societies also like to hide information in plain sight. One of the reasons why they do this is to prevent their knowledge from getting lost or falling into the wrong hands. Like the Dark Forces, the legal system also likes to use words to deceive us. The words of the legal system are known as legal words or legal terms and its language is called legalese.

    The evidence showing that words contain hidden knowledge can be found when you research the origins of words and use the art of wordplay to find their deeper meanings. The process of using words that contain hidden meanings to deceive people is what I like to refer to as word magic. For more information on word magic, read my informative article titled How Words Can Be Used as Magic Spells.

    spell-check-1090781-mWe have all heard the phrase, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Is this phrase true, that words are powerless? I am sorry but this phrase is not true. In fact, I believe it is the exact opposite. Words are powerful. They communicate; they deliver information, express feelings, inspire others, give guiding protection, teach, and so forth. It is amazing that “mere puffs of wind should allow men to discover what they think and feel, to share their attitudes and plans, to anticipate the future and learn from the past, and to create lasting works of art.”[1]

    Indeed words are not mere puffs of wind or sheer sounds with vacuous meaning, but rather they exercise a wholesome power over our souls, not to control and coerce but to form and to teach, to bring our lives to the point where we may speak the truth and thereby engage in the work of thought. And if our souls are shaped by words, then words can give adequate expression to what is in them. Indeed, words are just the thing we need to be human, creatures made in the image of God who speaks the truth.[2]

    This wholesome power of external words is especially realized with respect to the Word of God, for God’s Word “is not a unidimensional, flat, interior, intellectual word. It is a dynamic, eventful Word that goes forth from God into the real world with powerful effects.”[3] God’s word is effectual; God’s Word makes all things out of nothing; the Word is alive and active.[4] The Word of God is “energized by the Holy Spirit.”[5] Yes indeed, “all words are eventful, only the Word of God is fully creative and powerful. The Word of God is theologically eventful because in it God is a work doing what only He can do.”[6]

    Besides giving shape and meaning, words also express a person’s reason within a specific cultural context. They express truth claims and are manifested signs of people exercising their own reason.[7] Thus, words communicate more than descriptive information, they are declarative. Robert Sokolowski comments on the declarative use of speech saying,

    it captures and expresses me, the rational agent, right in the actual exercise of my reason. It is time-specific and indexical. It is a kind of pinnacle in the manifestation of the person, the person at work here and now. It exhibits me exercising my power to be truthful. . . . Declarative speech gives us the primary intuition of the personal in its actual presence, the rational in its actual exercise, and the original distinction of the person from his context.[8]

    As stated by Sokolowski, words are manifestations of a person’s reason. Reason though, is embedded in a particular worldview and sourced from particular epistemological sources. So words are not independent or autonomous, but have layers of depth behind them and in them. For example, the Word of God is not only effectual, but it also supplies meaning to the Christian’s use and implementation of words. Otherwise stated, Biblical words are encoded with meaning. Both the origin of Biblical words and the meaning attached to these words are derived from the Scriptures, accordingly forming the Christian’s Biblical semantic package. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit, through the Word, converts the Christian’s syntax by training him how to talk about God, himself, and his neighbor.[9]

    fomenteu-la-lectura-810896-mAll of this is important to understand because if a person’s epistemological source changes or slightly yields to a different epistemology, the person’s epistemic assumptions will change as well, and thus altering the framework in which language manifests itself from. Otherwise specified, encroaching foreign epistemological sources will impact the semantics of words, which then impacts the syntax of sentences, which then impacts the meaning of sentences, and so forth.

    Different worldviews and epistemologies are also important to note in respect to receiving and interpreting words. As already stated, both the origin of Biblical words and the meaning attached to these words are derived from the Scriptures, accordingly forming a person’s Biblical semantic package. However, a person who adheres or gives way to non-Biblical epistemological sources will advertently/inadvertently use un-Biblical semantic assumptions to decode Biblical words, hence yielding/interpreting different word meanings. Otherwise stated, these different semantic presuppositions will in essence change the meaning of a received Biblical message by recoding various Biblical words with the listener’s own meanings. This semantic reconfiguration has far reaching implications into the realms of syntax, sentence meaning, and so forth.[10]

    Besides semantic reconfiguration, the message of the Bible may also be susceptible to inferences that come about due to a hearer’s supplemental context. Hearers have networks of information, backgrounds of information, and specific contexts of time and place that they utilize in understanding incoming messages from others.[11] Rather than interpreting a Biblical message according to its own semantics, syntax, time, place, and context, a person may regrettably absorb the Biblical message into their own context (i.e., what does this text mean to me rather than what is this text saying), which will result in a change of the original meaning of the message, which then leads the person to “infer something neither explicitly stated nor necessarily implied.”[12]

    Indeed words are powerful and they certainly do matter!

    “Beef bowl please! With normal rice. Oh, and an egg”.

    It’s Asian. There are chopsticks involved. But I have no idea what country it’s from.

    Who cares? It’s tasty.

    I grab what looks like iced coffee just before I pay and then I notice something written on the side of the can. It’s the word “original”, sitting just below its logo.

    That’s weird. I can’t imagine cold coffee being unoriginal. Perhaps it’s to assure me that it’s not fake.

    I know! What’s the big deal? It’s just a can of coffee. Yet it’s these subtleties in wording that bother me. Words can make the difference between success and failure. It’s something I care about because it is what I do.

    I write words for a living.

    We all know that words can have meaning. Yet sometimes, words don’t have to. They can be silly and meaningless, but still work. I’m not against the word “original” on the coffee can. I just don’t think it worked for me. There are examples, however, where silly words do work.

    Think of that “new and improved” washing powder you might have bought. Did you do your due diligence beforehand? Did you google for evidence that it was actually new and improved? Probably not because you have better things to do with your life.

    It’s weird, but this form of manipulation seems to work.

    It can, however, go wrong.

    Take Unilever’s Persil Power which was launched in the mid-1990s. It was a disaster. It worked so well thanks to its manganese catalyst that it not only removed stains, but it destroyed clothes too.

    Words are powerful. They can evoke an emotional response like fear, excitement, desperation or anger. They can frame our view of the world in a certain way for both the right and wrong reasons. The truth is that sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can hurt, harm, humiliate, humble, heal and help you.

    They have a huge impact on your life.

    There are two ways words can persuade. They can either be used to inspire or manipulate.

    I prefer to inspire and create, which is why I chose a picture of one of my heroes for this post – Martin Luther King. Yet, I can’t shrug off the dark truth that words, numbers and images are constantly used to manipulate and distort the reality we see.

    That’s why investors need to be wary. I made fun of doing due diligence on buying washing powder beforehand. Yet, watching my mother destroy our clothes in a repeated laundry wash-cycle should have taught me a lesson.

    I admit the words “due diligence” are by nature, acoustically disagreeable. But sometimes it is necessary to appreciate the ugly to see the deeper beauty of a business you are going to invest in. Studies have shown that it’s worth it.

    The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation (EMKF) study showed that a median of 20 hours due diligence gets better results. Furthermore, conducting more than 40 hours due diligence, sees reported investment returns north of seven times.

    Due diligence helps you manage your relationship with the business you are going to invest in. It helps you evaluate the company properly, understand the risks involved and decide whether to invest.

    We need mundane processes, so we don’t make illogical choices. Decisions making is often an emotional experience driven by inbuilt biases. We justify our decisions with logic, even if they aren’t logical. Take a look at the image below and solve it.

    The answer is not 30.

    It’s 43.

    And, I’m not telling you why. Work it out logically.

    We are constantly being manipulated. Don’t think for a second that you are seeing the whole truth.

    The other day I bought a dual purchase offer of toothpaste and mouthwash. I saved 30%. Now I can brush my teeth with toothpaste that’s clinically proven to whiten my teeth and then rinse them with bright green mouth wash.

    The saving I made was pointless!

    Words are powerful. That’s why you need to be careful. It’s the reason why yogurt is 95% fat free and not 5% fat. You can’t do due diligence on that at the spur of the moment.

    There is one thing you can do though.

    Think twice.

    “Do you love words? Not just speaking them… But the actual words themselves? Do you delight in certain words? Think others are ugly? Do you believe that words have the power to wound, move — even to heal?” J. Engle, The New York Times

    Excerpt: The Sacred Spell of Words By  Jeremy Engle, The New York Times

    “In The Sacred Spell of Words, N. Scott Momaday, an author, poet and playwright, writes:

    “Words are powerful. As a writer, my experience tells me that nothing is more powerful. Language, after all, is made of words.

    Words are conceptual symbols; they have denotative and connotative properties. The word ‘power’ denotes force, physical strength, resistance. But it connotes something more subtle: persuasion, suggestion, inspiration, security.

    Consider the words of Mark Antony in Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”:

    Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war;

    That this foul deed shall smell above the earth

    With carrion men, groaning for burial.

    We might be hard pressed to find words more charged with power to incite, to inflame, to affect violence and destruction. But there are, of course, other expressions of power in words.They can be especially personal. They can touch our sensibilities in different and individual ways, perhaps because they have different associations for us. The word ‘Holocaust’ frightens me because survivors of the Nazi death camps have told me of their suffering. Notwithstanding, the word is intrinsically powerful and disturbing.

    The word ‘child’ delights me; the word ‘love’ confounds me; the word ‘God’ mystifies me. I have lived my life under the spell of words; they have empowered my mind…It may be that the essential power of language is realized by word-of-mouth expression. The oral tradition is inestimably older than writing, and it requires that we take words more seriously. One must not waste words. He must speak responsibly, he must listen carefully, and he must remember what is said.”

    The Power of Words and How To Build Your Vocabulary

    The Power of Words and How To Build Your Vocabulary

    Words have power. Words are power.

    Words can influence others, evoke emotions, and tell stories, but it all depends on using the right words at the right time.

    I don’t think we do this often enough. Many of us have our set vocabulary and we use what we know. We reach a point in our lives where we no longer add new words to our repertoire, which is a shame. There are beautiful words out there that we’re missing out on. Words that describe a situation perfectly. Words that share feelings and tell stories.

    Here’s why words are so important.

    1. Words explain the Complex

    There are ideas and situations that are incredibly difficult to explain, unless you have the right word. When you do, it takes that complex and layered idea and makes it simple.

    Words like petrichor. You know the smell of the outdoors after a rain. The pleasant, earthy, yet refreshing odor that is beyond enjoyable. This single word, petrichor, is able to perfectly explain that complex and beautiful situation.petrichorThere are so many words in the world. English words of course, but also foreign terms like Satori and Shoshin. Words that simply don’t exist anywhere else, yet embody big ideas in a nice little package.

    Words simplify and provide understanding.

    2. Words share Emotion

    When you are trying to explain a feeling or emotion, picking the right word makes all the difference.

    Let’s say you’ve been in a funk, unproductive and unhappy. Some would just call this sadness, which is a start. But if you use more powerful words, words that are more accurate, people understand things better.

    There is a difference between Sad and Somber. Sad and Melancholy. Sad and Grim. The connotation, the depth, the emotions all change.

    A great example from Scott Adams, explains how he reviews his writing to use more powerful words. If we was trying to be funny, he would try to use language that would better evoke that emotion.

    In his example, he talks about the word pull. Pull is a good word, but if instead he used yank, that is far more humorous. Just that simple shift, from pull to yank, gives the situation a much more lighthearted and funny tone.

    Be aware of how your words fit with the emotions you are trying to share. They can either help or hurt it. Finding the right words and shifts in language can greatly reinforce any message.

    3. Words evoke imagery

    Finally, using the right words or combination of words can paint a picture in your mind of exactly what you’re trying to say.

    I’m currently reading Thinking Fast and Slow, which is beyond interesting, and in a chapter about associative thinking, he shares a fun exercise about imagery and association. He shares the following words:

    BANANAS VOMIT

    So what do you think of when you read that? Apparently most individuals think of getting sick from eating bananas. They get a bad taste in their mouth and suddenly that banana bread doesn’t bananalook so appetizing. Or you’re weird like me and actually visualize a banana vomiting (and of course this image exists, thanks Google).

    The point is, words create strong imagery in our minds and strong emotions tied to those images.

    hile words are amazing things, we also shouldn’t overuse them for the sake of it. You know what I mean. The people who write or speak with big, fancy words that make no sense, aside from filling them with a sense of intellect.

    That is not the point. Words are a tool. For the most part, simple language is the way to go, but there are certain situations where that fancy word is exactly the idea you are trying to explain. It is in those situations that your vocabulary is a major asset, because those words can transform a decent piece of writing into a great one or a good speech into a phenomenal one.

    Now how do you find those words and build your vocabulary? Here are some of my favorite ways.

    Reading

    The best way to encounter new words has to be by reading, a lot. Every time you stumble across a new word, look it up (especially easy on the Kindle). Slowly your vocabulary will grow and you’ll learn these words better from seeing them in action.

    Writing

    You may think, if you don’t know the words, how will you be able to use them in your writing? Well a funny thing happens when we write. We come across ideas that we get stuck on and cant’ find the right words for. This is when a thesaurus and Google are your best friends. Hunt down that perfect word and you’ll never forget it.

    Games

    There are tons of word games, apps, and puzzles available nowadays and they all can improve your vocabulary. From Scrabble and the New York Times Crossword to Text Twist and Word Brain, they all help improve and build your vocabulary.

    Urban Dictionary

    This one may seem out of place, but slang words are just as interesting and meaningful, especially to a younger demographic. Often times these are the words that get added to the dictionary every year. If you’re not sure what a slang means, this is the best place to look.

    Word of the Day

    I have the Dictionary.com app on my phone and every morning I get a notification for the Word of the Day (today’s word is affinal meaning related by marriage). Although this is at a slower pace, I love discovering new words everyday. Bonus points if you can manage to use that word too.

    Blogs

    There are some great blogs out there that just share amazing words on the regular. My favorite has to be Other Wordly, but a quick search turns up hundreds that will help you discover words that you didn’t even know existed.

    No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.Robin Williams

    So whether it’s for speaking or writing or storytelling or just casual conversation, words matter. Take the time to learn new ones.
