Sticks and stones may break bones, but words can destroy

[Peace of mind]

A language possibly built for confusing, for instance…We drive on the parkway and park in a drive way? lol

The more I think about the story “Tower of Babel” I can’t help but to think how much we are being duped everyday. Not only does language separate the masses but it also promotes false outlooks on intellect and present disempowerment. Now, I’m no English Major but I do feel I select my words carefully.

At times I feel the language itself was set up to express things in terms of lack-
EX: “How are you?” You see, this short question already implies that you might not be well. We have been tricked into using words that are disempowering. To use the Hopi Indian’s language is to understand that everything is one and inside of you, no need for looking outside of it and the language speaks of no lack…many indigenous languages have no past tense. When speaking, you influence the field around you. Everything is vibration and words do have an impact on your life…probably way more then we know. Maybe certain words unlock and/or lock certain abilities. In some cultures verbal sounds are more important then the actual word. This could be an indication of why certain racial groups respond in various ways to certain words and pitches. Sense I’m into music production, I can see how music affects people thru vibration… so why not words?

Lawyers are a prime example of how the language is manipulated. They literally take your words and twist them into something else, they make fortunes doing this. Why the need for having different words with the same meaning? Or having different words that sound the same but spelled differently? Could this be purposely created to cause misunderstanding amongst the people, especially when it’s been declared the international language. And I’m not going to get into it about the English superstars going around correcting other people’s spelling and grammar, I don’t know why (or care) when they do this, it’s distracting and annoying, and often done to belittle others when their own arguments become weak. All in all…I figure they do this to feel important…meh. Everyone’s important. Ego, ego, ego away

Every day we use phrases and words that corrupt our desired manifestations. Below are some examples…
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, go break a leg, I’ll never get anything done, I’m feeling tired today, that’s driving me crazy, what an awful day it is outside today, I wish I knew, I don’t have the time, the world is such a mess, the fighting in the Mid-East will never stop, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t, better to do nothing, I can’t do it, I don’t know how, It’s too difficult, etc…

I can imagine other outside beings having a hard time understanding us when we use phrases like: raining cats and dogs, bite the bullet, paint the town red, kick the bucket, through the grape vine, etc…

And then we have…"falling" in love? We often get hurt when we fall. Doesn't ascending in love sound more like love feels? Much of the disempowering comes from small talk. EX: “I don’t know but I will try” . When you are trying to do something, you are not doing it. You build in failure by using the word try.
