Spiritual Growth As Seen Through The Language We Use

By Mark Walters
Nov 1, 2009
Our words present to the external world what our inner world is like. Our thoughts are revealed through our emotions and our emotions are shown through our language. How Spiritual Healing is influenced by the words that we employ 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.

The inner beauty of our true nature will shine through only when we remove the filters that block it. What makes up these filters? The filters are made of our thoughts and emotions. Both thoughts and emotions are put forth through our language.

The question is, why select language as the main focus of my attention? Thoughts or emotions could have easily been the main focus. The reason I have chosen language is because they are the simplest to watch. And our Language are the simplest for our friends to take note of and comment on.

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.

The fleeting nature of thoughts make them difficult to directly change. If you were to try to follow your thoughts you would see that they go from subject to subject to subject. It is very hard to stop them long enough to see what is going on.

The same is true for your emotions. 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.

But language are different. Changing your words after you have said something is very easy to do. To either reorder the language or change the language altogether. Instead of saying "You make me mad" you could say "What you are doing makes me mad". It is easy to see that these sentences are very different.

The question is how can this let our true nature shine through. To understand our filters all we need to do is look at our irrational negative emotions. 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.

The positive will grow as the negative gets cleared away which lets our true nature shine through.
