Are words forms of energy? Do we attract certain types of energy from the words we use?
Are we bound by energy? Does the energy build more and more with repeated use?
I have my own thoughts on this but am interested in others views.
I notice on the TV. some words are repeated more than others. For Instance Americans use an M word with 3 letters. And lets face it, love them or h*** them, they are a something of a crazee bunch! -This I see merely watching imported TV progs. (no offence intended, from UK.)
There are many books on this subject and I feel that words do have power or at least can augment power and make it more real or more potent.
David Eddings books on the Belgariad and the rest of the series, described "The Will and The Word". The will was inside and the spoken word gave it power outside.
I don't feel this is too far from reality.
Advertisers and politicians use keywords a lot and the way an ad or a political speech is worded, can deflect negatives to produce stronger positives.
In witchcraft or Wicca, the spells are often spoken as without this, the spells remain inert. It requires the spell to be spoken, often a number of times, in order for it to work.
We also project that elusive sixth sense when we speak otherwise we would not have 'reading between the lines' where someone says one thing, meaning another. Sensitive people can pick up on this.
The way we talk to prospective boy or girlfriends can mean more that what we actually say, but yes, I feel words DO have energy.

Inspired by the question is your glass half empty or half full and irked by many attitudes in general, the question or whether or not negative people (people who see the worst or can not promote anything nice to say) attract negative attention?
