Our words show the outer world what our inner world is like. Words are the guardians of our emotions and our emotions guard our thoughts. This article will briefly discuss how spiritual growth is related to the words we use. Spiritual Healing
Spiritual growth is the process of moving closer to our ideal state. When our true nature shines through we have reached our ideal state. And the creator has bestowed upon us our true nature.
The inner beauty of our true nature will shine through only when we remove the filters that block it. What makes up these filters? They are made up of our emotions and our thoughts. Both thoughts and emotions are put forth through our words. Energy Healing
Why have I chosen to focus on the words that we use? I could easily have focused on thoughts or emotions. The reason I have chosen words is because they are the easiest to observe. And our words are the easiest for our friends to observe and comment on. Spiritual Healer
If your friend says that you seem angry it is not hard to have a different opinion. But if they said that you said "I hate everybody" or "I love everybody" that is difficult to challenge. Growth is gauged by the words that we use. Your life can easily change by changing your words.
It is difficult to directly change your thoughts because thoughts are so fleeting. I am sure you have noticed how your thoughts roam from topic to topic. It is very difficult to capture a picture of your thoughts in any single action.
Emotions are just as hard to get a glimpse of. They have a tendency to just jump up and surprise us. And when a strong emotional reaction happens it generally is to late to do anything about it.
Observing words is not the same. You can retract words after you have spoken them. To either reorder the words or change the words altogether. Instead of saying "You make me mad" you could say "What you are doing makes me mad". It is easy to see that these sentences are very different.
How does this help change the filters that block our true nature from shining through. To understand our filters all we need to do is look at our irrational negative emotions. Emotions such as fear, hate, jealousy, anger etc... These negative emotions are best replaced with positive emotions such as gratitude, love, patience, kindness etc...
We can replace the negative with the positive by watching our words and what we say. Our thoughts and emotions will become more uplifting the more our words become uplifting.
Our true nature shines through as we clear away the negative and as the positive grows.
