What Meaning? What Vibes?
What meaning of yours do you want understood? What vibrations do you emit with your words? Why am I talking? Why are you talking? Just for fun, to share, educate, vent, aggrieve, because you can’t stop, need to be heard, don’t like silence, need attention???? Only we know why we talk.
But most would agree that the whole point of communicating with anyone is not just to get words across, but to have our meaning understood. So how do we effectively get someone to understand our meaning? The plain truth is that if no one understands what you mean to say, all the words have been in vain.
Just this word “meaning”, means something to everyone with slight variations so that when we hear or see the word meaning, we get a picture in our mind. Unless the other party has the same picture in their mind as yours, there is a great chance of misunderstanding and hence miscommunication. So for good communication we must get our meaning across.
And one great way to know if they have gotten our meaning is to ask the other person? Or of course, the other person can ask. “What did you mean by that?” In all cases one cannot assume that images will be conjured up in others’ minds that are like the ones in our mind since most of us are not mind readers. But as we strive to get meaning across, we need to have a greater awareness of the choice of words we use and their energetic patterns.
In an era of savvy words used to create realities, it is wise to notice the words we choose and the images they connote to clearly get our meaning across, but as we choose these words let us also enter the awareness that words have a vibration quality that can lift and empower.
In his book, Power vs. Force, David R. Hawkins lists words and their energetic impact or vibration quality created. Words have a high or low energy pattern. For instance, using abundant versus excessive, determined rather than stubborn, empathetic over pitying, giving versus taking. The higher patterns have a positive impact on others in lasting ways.
Those of us desiring to add to the positive impact of an evolving consciousness will be greatly surprised at how much difference the choice of words can make. Having awareness in order to add empowering words to our vocabulary, as we choose our words to share our meaning in our communication is a very inexpensive yet highly rewarding exercise. It is a unique contribution as we choose to evolve to higher consciousness. The very essence of life in this universe is consciousness. Energy patterns of specific frequencies or vibrations are cast into the universe when we author words and by their ripple effect will come back to us. What meaning? What vibes?
