Conversations


Our individual, community, and global conversations influence (create) our experiences. The words we speak become the body/ house/ community/ city/ country/ world we live in.

 We don’t live in a set of circumstances. Our world and our circumstances get created in / through our conversations. When our conversations focus upon fear, terror, revenge, anger, retribution, jealousy, envy, comparison, competition, sexual abuse, rape, murders, terrorism, pollution etc, that is the world we begin to inhabit. Conversely, if our conversations are about possibility, hope, inspiration, beauty, joy, gratitude, and appreciation, then that’s the world we begin to inhabit.

(More often than not, our conversations contain BOTH stories, and we continue to experience both the worlds.)

 Most people think that the words we say/ write simply express our innermost thoughts, but the truth is that our innermost thoughts (and our public conversations) create our circumstances/ life conditions/ relationships/ challenges - our whole world.

Our present world needs healing/ cleaning/ over-hauling, because we need healing/ cleaning/ over-hauling. And this process can begin with being aware of our conversations and if need be, change them. This can only happen when we choose to remember that the words we speak, influence/ create the world we live in.

Whatever thoughts/ feelings/ beliefs we express in our conversations, become our experiences in life- our self-fulfilling prophecies.

 It is time now to examine our conversations with ourselves and others and ask, “Do our conversations in personal, professional, and community life reflect what we really want from life? If not, how can we change them?”

 While it is tempting to please the ego-personality that feels justified in carrying negativity, we can always change that if we want to. And the point to power as always lies within us.
 One simple way to improve our conversations is by asking better/ right questions, especially about life’s inter-connectedness and inter-dependence. Simple questions like, ‘What is the possible solution? What might work? What will make it right? What would be ideal? How can I help to make it right?’ carry the power to change our world.

 Today, let us pay due attention to our conversations and make a difference to the world!
