Rabbi Anton Bresjkow, was giving his weekly talk to his weekly meeting group, of would-be rabbis, in a small room at his temple.
He was talking about the power of speech, and the use of right words.
He told them that all words have an inherent power within them, that can be tapped into by the user.
Words can stimulate the potential energy, as yet unbuilt-on, in the listener, into life within them.
Negative words tend to activate the negative elements in the listener's psyche.
Positive words build up, and build on to the positive aspects of a person's personality.
In this way, our words can help someone else to develop either more positivity, or more negativity, within them.
We all have both these negative and positive traits within us, but if we do not watch the energy getting attached to one, or the other, of these, we can become either victims of another person's negative talking about us, or about others, or conversely, we can be encouraged more to live from the positive aspects of our being too.
We can influence people for the good, or the bad, then, to be more negative, or more positive, both in their thinking, and in their behaviour.
When we talk from the source of love, within us, we will then always talk upbeatedly positive, but if we talk from our ego-self, our wanting mind, our aggression, or our judging attitude, we will always talk then negatively, or put people down, instead of build them up.
Right speaking depends on it coming from a heart right with God, and harmful speaking will come out of someone estranged from God.
Whether you have God in you, connected to you by love, determines the positivity, and the way of love comes through you, through your speech then to others too, which is then always kind, and compassionate, in its very demeanour too.

Let the way of love in you fashion your words for you.

I agree. If our choice of words comes from the good heart, the outcome will always be good and positive

Yes, a good heart, a loving heart, ensures that our words will come out that way too.
It is only when we move away from our heart, do our words risk getting coloured, or tainted, by our minds, which will try to influence them for its own designs, goals, and ends, to be spoken about instead.

@innertalks That`s why if we don`t feel good, it is better not to say anything until you are calm

@m_audrey6788 Yes, I agree.
At those times, we should take a step back, and try to calm down, and realign ourselves to our heart, again.

I get your point. So, when I speak with God's love in my heart, the words that come out are positive and will therefore build up the other person. Such a nice and enlightening thought. Thank you for sharing this. I hope more people will read your discussions. More power to you and may your tribe increase.

Thanks.
Also, the Christian Bible tells us that if we live from God's love in our hearts, he will put the right words into our mouths too, when they need to be spoken.
Otherwise, we will speak positively, and upliftingly, inspiringly to others, because the love in us inspires us to speak that way too.

Obviously, the opposite has been the way of the world, reflected in endless strife within families and countries.
Love is absent in the way we communicate and act.
It does not pass muster in the real world as people are egged on to take on others with a devil-may-care attitude.
Be the change you want to see in the world - comes to mind.
Hopefully, the tide will turn before we reach the point of no return.

Yes, if the individual decides to live from love, hopefully the change, in their living, will be seen by others, copied, and so change will snowball from there.
Right now, the snowball is moving along, gathering dirt, instead of love, as it moves through the world.

@Shiva49 If only the rats followed the Pied Piper, all might be ok, but when every other part of creation, tries to also bask in their music, and to profit somehow, from their ill-gotten gains too, it is a recipe for disaster, that we are all then forced to have to eat, to survive here too.

@innertalks Sadly, the writ of 99% does not run.
They want peace and not war.
They prefer love and not enmity.
However, the few with ulterior motives rule the roost.
They are the Pied Pipers
1. : one that offers strong but delusive enticement
2. : a leader who makes irresponsible promises
3. : a charismatic person who attracts followers
