Our inner world is presented to the outer world through our words. Our thoughts are revealed through our emotions and our emotions are shown through our words. How Spiritual Growth is influenced by the language that we use will be reviewed in this article.
Our ideal state is achieved through the process of Spiritual Growth. Having achieved our ideal state we can see that our true nature easily shines through. And the creator has bestowed upon us our true nature.
To let our true nature shine through we need to remove the numerous filters that warp our projected inner beauty. Are these filters made of some mysterious substance? Both our thoughts and emotions give life to these filters. Both thoughts and emotions are put forth through our language.
The question is, why select words as the main focus of my attention? Thoughts or emotions could have easily been the main focus. I decided that language were the easiest to observe so I decided to select them for observation. And our friends and associates can simply show us our use of Language.
If your friend states that you appear angry it is not hard to have a different belief. But if they said that you said "I hate everybody" or "I love everybody" that is difficult to challenge. We are able to see our growth by the words that we use. Your life can easily change by changing your language.
It is hard to directly modify your thoughts because thoughts are so fleeting. I am sure you have noticed how your thoughts roam from topic to topic. It is very tough to capture a picture of your thoughts in any single action.
Your emotions are the same as your thoughts. Emotions have a tendency to just appear without warning. Usually by the time we recognize an emotional state, such as anger, we might be to far gone too be able to change what is going on.
Observing language is not the same. When you speak a sentence you have the ability to immediately change it. To either reorder the words or change the words altogether. Instead of saying "You make me mad" you could say "What you are doing makes me mad". These two sentences are very different.
You may wonder how this helps with changing the filters that block our true nature from coming through. Negative emotions are our main filters. Emotions such as fear, hate, jealousy, anger etc... These negative emotions are best replaced with positive emotions such as gratitude, love, patience, kindness etc...
We can replace the negative with the positive by watching our Words and what we say. The more positive and uplifting our words become, the more positive and uplifting will our thoughts and emotions become.
Our true nature shines through as we clear away the negative and as the positive grows.
