Location, Location, Location

We are located by our words; let’s choose them with care.

I was visiting a blog site a few years ago during a research-intensive about Heaven, modern-day revelators, and their experiences with the supernatural realm. In addition to reading about the near-death experiences, I also read the comments from the blog’s subscribers. There are many trolls, skeptics, and naysayers in the comment section of any internet dialogue but this often adds depth to a discussion. I encountered a man named Alive Again who cautioned fellow responders who were borderline rude while speaking doubt, skepticism, and negativity. His sentence, bolded above, shut the entire troll universe down.

I loved the statement and the inference behind it. My soul was touched by the implication and the confirmation of what I’ve always espoused. Words have power. We can invite light as well as darkness into our situation by what we say.

We must show care when we speak. One may ask, “Even when we’re angry?” My response is, “Especially when we’re angry.” Scroll back in your memory to all the words you’ve spoken to yourself as well as others. It doesn’t matter if it was an argument or a pleasant conversation. Recall it. Categorize your words. Were they positive and affirming or belittling and non-nutritive? If this means we have to think before we speak, then, by all means, let’s practice this with gusto.

How can we know if our words attract darkness? We can assess the words that we speak. If we are ‘doubt dwellers’ and negative Nans/Neds; then our words may be unsupportive and unaffirming. They are probably not life-giving or encouraging. If they beat back hope and trod on faith; it’s darkness. If they hurt hearts and fracture feelings; it’s darkness. Instead of mean tweeting, mean talking and mean mugging; let’s support, affirm, encourage and uplift one another whenever we can. Our souls will thank us later. 😉
