The Power of Words as Manifesting Commands
By Anita Briggs, DCEd, MSc, DAc.
Words are a manifesting power that is one level closer to manifesting in form than is the power of thought. A next level that is even closer to form is the manifesting power of deed or action. A ‘closer level’ does not mean it has more power, but rather, it is another step of the process of making manifest our intentions that gets closer to the manifestation. Intention is expressed first in emotion, and then in thought, followed by word, and lastly in deed, which is the step that completes or ‘receives’ the manifestation.
Our emotions arise on our intentions in a manner akin to dreaming. Our thoughts, when not consciously directed arise out of an inner necessity bound to our personal past and the past of the collective mind. Word and deed are the completing steps that bring to manifestation our evolution or ‘devolution’ according to our intention (love or fear) and level of conscious awareness. When we are not evolving, we are devolving; there is no standstill in life. While word and deed are the most ‘conscious’, when we are not consciously choosing our experience, all steps are carried out at various levels of unconsciousness. You may picture a cycle—from intention to emotion, through to thought, then to word and deed— that can spiral downward into degeneration or upward into evolution according to whether we are conscious or unconscious at each step of the way.
At every step along the evolutionary spiral of conscious awareness (a step being either intention, emotion, thought, word or deed), we are required to exert power of intention that is consciously willed. And so at every step, there is an element of choice that can lend greater power to the process, and on the downside, the potential to fall into default mode and weaken or cancel existing momentum. In other words, it’s not enough to set intention consciously; you have to follow through and monitor emotion, thought, word and deed and bring clear intention at each level. (As Wattles puts it “that clear mental picture you must have continually in mind, as the sailor has in mind the port toward which he is sailing the ship”.) Our power of manifestation comes from all of these components, and at each step of the way we have an opportunity to correct or renew the momentum we have created. All these steps support the time lag of physical manifestation, and so long as we are semi-conscious creators, this drawn out process is a blessing.
Conscious intention drives the will, which sets the process of manifestation into motion as an upward trend of conscious evolution. In the upward spiral, love is the ingredient that ensures expansion and alignment to a Higher Will—imbued with love, thoughts become wisdom, emotions merge with the Creative Principle, and words and deeds become powerful manifesting commands.
Words are manifesting commands to the subconscious mind, which responds by finding what is a vibrational match to those words. The subconscious mind learns by repetition and so word habits are a powerful way to reprogram it to ally with you in manifesting your desires. Although the subconscious mind has far greater power than the conscious mind, it does not have control; it is the conscious mind that must initiate change. This may be likened to a CEO presiding over a large cooperation. The work force has greater power but relies on the wise direction from the CEO. It is thus advisable to target for elimination all negative or limiting word habits. You must learn to say what you intend, or rather, learn to intend consciously and speak words aligned to that, in order to have this level of manifestation work in your favour, because the subconscious mind will take you literally. Several word habits to be reprogrammed are discussed below.
Reprogramming Limiting Words
Trying
I heard somewhere that “trying is lying”. Saying “I’ll try” is a very weak commitment that has an escape clause that “I may not succeed”. So when we say we’ll try, the subtext is that we may well fail, or “don’t count on it”.
Whenever you catch yourself saying, “I’ll try”, stop and decide what your real intention is. Then either commit one way or another: “I will because it means a lot to me”, or “I won’t because my desire for that is not strong enough to overcome the inertia that exists around the issue”. Be honest with yourself and you won’t have nearly so much pulling you down in terms of failure. When you commit to others, either say no or “I’ll do my best” and mean it. It’s much better to say you won’t, because then your energy is clearly disconnected from that thing, and may be directed into something you are willing to commit to. When you ‘try’ your energy is connected, but it’s not creating a clear forward motion, which ends up acting as an energy drain and becomes fodder for the ego’s guilt.
Can’t
Saying “I can’t do” sends the subconscious mind searching for supporting evidence. And it will supply you with all the reasons you can’t, deepening your sense of being incapable. The subconscious mind never fails you. The more you use “I can’t”, the more you will perceive and experience limitation. When you say, “I can’t”, pause and tune into what’s going on. You may be afraid to and feeling incompetent to the task, or thinking of past attempts where you did not succeed, or thinking of current circumstances that are preventing you…whatever the case. Ask yourself if you would like to be able to. If so, do some exercises to open up to new potential. Write a list of all the ways in which it might be possible for you to do. Write all the feelings that ‘being able to’ would engender in you. Write down all the traits or energies you feel you would need to be able to give it your best shot, or would need to allow yourself to ‘can do’.
Example: “I can’t afford it.” Would you like to be able to afford it? If so, do the following:
