In the beginning was the Word…

Whether you take this verse literally or not, I urge you to consider its profound truth.

Language is the foundation of our reality. 

We, as a society, celebrate with great fanfare when a child utters their first clear word. Whether it’s “mama,” “dada,” or, as in my sister’s case (thanks to the influence of my uncles), “sh!+”—we react with joy or astonishment as this cherished moment unfolds.

Instinctively, we recognize that this milestone marks a dramatic shift in the individual’s life. 

It enables them to demand a popsicle or, later on, to ask for a hand in marriage.

But the power of language doesn’t stop there. 

Our language shapes our very existence, manifesting itself in both verbal and thought-based expressions.

“The individual’s whole experience is built on the plan of his language.”

— Henri Delacroix

Was this a divine plan, ensuring that we all wield great power with the words we speak? That’s for each of us to decide.

My dear friend Jesse certainly thinks so. 

When I began working with her using PSYCH-K®️, she had just escaped an abusive marriage and was relocating across the country with her children. 

Her ex-husband’s legal troubles made the move easier, but it was still a leap into the unknown.

Having lived in the area before, Jesse had friends who offered support. 

Throughout that time, she consistently expressed gratitude to God for guiding her out of her dire situation. 

She used her language to affirm that she was being supported and that everything she needed would appear at the right time. 

And it did—Every. Single. Time. Whether it was a car gifted by a friend or a new place to live, her needs were always met.

She transformed her life from fleeing an abusive situation with nothing to closing million-dollar deals as a realtor, all within just a few short years. 

Witnessing her journey has been one of the most inspiring experiences of my life, and the lessons I’ve learned are only now coming into full clarity.

How the Brain Works

The words we use in our daily language profoundly affect our ability to create the lives we desire.

If we say, “I’m lazy” or “I’m a procrastinator,” how can we expect to summon the energy needed to create change in our lives? 

These messages seep into our subconscious mind, sabotaging our goals.

Language is a key contributor to the formation of our emotions, making it crucial to our overall emotional well-being.

By choosing to use language either negatively or positively, we shape our perspective.

The Reticular Activating System (RAS) in the brain functions like a filter. It helps us focus on important information and ignore the irrelevant. 

It sorts through everything we see, hear, and feel, deciding what’s significant and what isn’t.

Imagine it as a personal assistant for your brain, spotlighting things you should pay attention to and filtering out the rest.

Here’s how it works with language: if you frequently talk and think about positive goals, your RAS highlights related information and opportunities. 

Conversely, if you often use negative or pessimistic words, your RAS becomes more attuned to negative events happening around you.

In essence, the language you use programs your RAS to focus on certain aspects of your environment that align with your thoughts and words.
