A spoken monologue emphasizing the creative and causal power of spoken and written words. The speaker argues that human vocalization uniquely carries energetic frequencies that can uplift or harm people, animals, and plants, and urges listeners to choose words consciously—especially when parenting or interacting with living matter.
Speak it, learn to speak in to people. So you already know, if you've heard me talk about this before, that this world is created with a great deal of sound in it. Sound waves. The universe is like a giant portal for the transmission of music and sound. God gave us vocal cords that, unlike any mammal on the planet, allow us to be able to control with conscious precision. And even when inhaling and exhaling the sounds that come out of our mouths. Parrots and monkeys and whales cannot truly speak or sing with any semblance of complexity. But you certainly can. When you speak something, it means something. Similarly, when you write something, it means something. When you express anything, it means something. See, words and sounds are not just words and sounds, but rather they're ideas that theories, philosophies, worldviews, blessings, insults, and energetic frequency carriers that can rapidly shift the emotive state of a human being, or in the case of sound, even change the states of an animal or a plant or a plate of food in front of you that you're blasting with positive frequencies from your mouth. You can look up experiments in which living organisms are exposed to positive sound frequencies and energies like prayer or words like love, and compare the results to those same entities that have been exposed to negative sounds, like death met music or words like hate. The results cannot be denied. The good sounds cause good things to happen and the bad sounds cause bad things to happen. It's that simple. And yeah, that means that the saying loose lips sink ships is not just a saying, right? Entire wars have been fought over written and spoken words. The tongue is sharper than any two edged sword, says the Bible. So you need to be forthright in your conscious communication when it comes to the power of both your spoken and written words. So what will you choose to speak into your surroundings today? Well, speak and sing uplifting words into the people that you meet, the food that you eat, the plants that you water, and especially if you're a parent, the buttressing and the strengthening and the encouraging that you can gift to any young human as they navigate this awkward and vulnerable stage of their life. Remember, every word, written or spoken matters. So pause and choose what you say, choose what you sing, choose what you write with a pen, choose what you type, and choose everything very, very carefully. And then if you want to take things one step further, speak into people, speak into living matter, speak into organisms. Never underestimate the power of everything you've got going on right here. Very powerful, very powerful. Use it.
