Have you ever thought about the power of words?


One day a King asked his advisor to bring him the greatest gift in his kingdom. His advisor returned with a plate, and on that plate sat a tongue. The King asked, why is this the greatest gift in my kingdom? His advisor replied, because with the tongue comes the gift of speech. The right person with intention and eloquence can uplift your spirits, penetrate your soul, build kingdoms with a whisper, inspire generations, engineer vast technologies, move mountains and manifest miracles.


The King was very impressed with this. He then asked. If this is the greatest gift, what is the most destructive weapon in my kingdom? The advisor handed him the same plate with the same tongue. The King asked, why is this the most destructive weapon in my kingdom?


The advisor said; because with the tongue comes the gift of speech. The right person with intention and eloquence can destroy your spirit, traumatise your soul, destroy kingdoms with a whisper, turn generations against you, engineer vast technologies to harm you, oppress dehumanise and subjugate you, and seek to strip you of your faith, your love and your hope.


The words we intentionally put out into the universe carry's with it its own magic. It casts its own spell, its spells have to be precise. That's why we have spelling. Because words carry with them a vibration or a frequency that can uplift or undermine.


If you knew the true power of words. How would you use them in your world? What intention would those words manifest? It has made me more conscious of what I say, more conscious of how I pray. While I'm human with my own falabilities, my intention is to use the power of words to help others realise and manifest their potential.
