“Am I going to let what comes out of my mouth be of the frequency of worry, doubt, fear, hate, and resentment, or am I going to let what flows out of my mouth be the vitalizing frequency of infinite possibility?”
~ Michael Bernard Beckwith, 1/11/2015 ~

“… the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare…”
~ Isaiah 42:9 ~

“Be impeccable with your word.”
~ Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements ~


Whether consciously or subconsciously, we are forever using our word of power by telling ourselves ‘what’ would make us happy, i.e., a healthy body, financial security, a fulfilling career, a loving relationship, etc., etc., etc. The Love-Intelligence within us knows exactly ‘how’ to bring about the specific thing described. It’s as if we have an agreement with the Creative Force of the universe that asserts, “I know what, and God knows how. “

As social beings in the world, we have been told that ‘our word is our bond’, and that when we keep our word, we show commitment, dependability, and responsibility. Of course, these qualities make good friends, neighbors, partners, coworkers, and leaders when they are in alignment with the highest good for all. Therefore, it is important to be awake and aware of our motives and intentions. Otherwise, it is so easy to fall into the trap of commiserating with someone about whatever the state of affairs appears to be at any given time. While much of the “ain’t it awful” dialogue may be based on empathy or sympathy, it is, nonetheless mis-directed, therefore missing the mark of the true intention and, inadvertently, a new agreement may be established.

As spiritual beings in the world, we are endowed with the attributes of The Divine, i.e., Peace, Love, Wisdom, Harmony, Beauty, and all that is Good. These qualities are the Word of God within us. When we realize these qualities are the very essence of our sincere intentions, they neutralize all opposing ideas. Actually, these qualities are the good we seek in all of our affairs.

When Ernest Holmes said, “Find me one person who is for something and against nothing, who is redeemed enough not to condemn others out of the burden of his soul and I will find another savior, another Jesus and an exalted human being”, I do not believe he was suggesting that we ignore the facts of life.  I do believe he was speaking about the power of living in the solution, and the courage to break the mental agreements that no longer serve us; and in so doing, we may be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Begin to notice how our energy begins to shift from fear, anger, anxiety, and doubt when we no longer agree that failure and doom are the expected future, no matter how many times we have successfully predicted otherwise by our downward gaze.

We may begin today, right now, breaking agreements that were made out of ignorance, e.g., ones that yield blame, shame, and fear. In an awakened state of unity with all beings, let’s make new agreements, e.g., ones that yield love, harmony, peace on earth, and good will towards all beings. In so doing, we join the enlightened ones of the world whose consciousness of oneness corrects human errors.
