How Our Words Impact Our Spiritual Growth By Janet L Erickson At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

We are able to show the world our true nature by the words that we use. Our words reveal our emotions and our emotions reveal our thoughts. This article will briefly discuss how spiritual growth is related to the words we use.

The process of attaining our ideal state is facilitated through spiritual growth. Our ideal state is when our true nature 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. Are these filters made of some mysterious substance? The filters are made of our thoughts and emotions. Our words are what expresses both our thoughts and emotions.

The question is, why choose words as the main focus of my attention? Why not choose thoughts and emotions. I decided that words were the easiest to observe so I decided to choose them for observation. And our words are the easiest for our friends to observe and comment on.

When someone comments on your emotions it is easy to disagree with their viewpoint. 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. If you want your life to change then simply change your words.

It is difficult to directly change your thoughts because thoughts are so fleeting. I am sure you have noticed how your thoughts roam from topic to topic. To catch them in any act is very hard.

The same is true for your emotions. I am sure you have been surprised by your emotional reactions. By the time we recognize that we are in a strong emotional state, it probably is to late to change it.

Observing words 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. 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. Our thoughts and emotions will become more uplifting the more our words become uplifting.

The more we clear away the negative the more the positive grows and the more our true nature shines through.
