The speaker argues that words mediate imagination and implementation—communication is essential because speaking frames beliefs that guide action.

The words that are in your mind are your thoughts. The words that come out of your mouth are your speech or your talking. It matches the four levels of value. Yeah, right. The lowest level is implementation. The second level is unification. If you think of communication is the third highest level. Imagination is the highest level. So if you think about it like that, what we're doing is we're taking ideas from our head. That's the imagination, turning them into words that come out of our mouth. And those words are unifying our mind with our body. It's amazing how even though imagination is the highest level, communication is the most essential level, or a content is the most essential level. What does that mean? Well, you can speak without thinking, but you can't think without using words. So words are essential to communication is essential to imagination. Right. But communication, the words that I say, cause me to frame a belief around an action, whether future or present, that gives me the belief. Moving in this direction is a good idea. Now, my words unify the implementation with the imagination, brings it together, and then a result can be produced.
