One of the key steps in creating the life you choose is understanding the Language of Manifesting. The words we use every day are incredibly important tools in creating our reality. Spoken words are made of sounds, of vibrations that we literally cast before ourselves and then walk into. Learning to guard our language allows us to take control of the spells we cast upon ourselves all the time. When we speak aloud, we render our thoughts, ephemeral things both of this world and the spirit world, into material reality. With every sentence, we are translating non-substance into substance and this alchemy has great power.
It is up to us to decide how we will use this power. It is up to us to master the Language of Manifesting to draw the experience we choose into our lives. Transmutational Meditation can be a powerful tool to move out of the language patterns of lack, into the language of power. Meditative states give us access to our unconscious minds. They give us an opportunity to rewrite the messages we have running in heads that control much of what we manifest outwardly.
The power of the word is referenced in every ancient text. In the Bible it states God spoke “let there be light” and light was brought into being. In the Quran, Allah need only say the word “be” and it becomes. The story of the Tower of Babel states the languages of the world were confused to prevent the people from using language to create. The Hindu traditions work with the word Ohm as the source of manifestation.
In more recent eras “my word is my bond” was a common phrase. In the Middle Ages to break one's word, to become an oath-breaker, was often punishable by death. Oaths in the Pagan traditions were often bound not to your lifetime but to your soul, following you through time. This is the power of our word. The importance of what we give our word to goes back literally to the beginning of human understanding. In the book The Four Agreements on the Toltec (Ancient Aztec spirituality), the first agreement is, be impeccable with your word.
In modern magical mythology, wizards speak magic words to render their Will upon reality. (From Hermione Granger to Merlin in the Sword and the Stone.) "Bibity Bobity Boo" will never leave my childhood memory, Cinderella’s fairy godmother’s words
