Spiritual Power of Man's Word Man's word is Spirit in man. Words are sounds occasioned by the vibrations of thoughts. Thoughts are vibrations sent forth by the Ego or Soul. Every word that leaves your mouth ought to be potent with your genuine soul vibration. Words in most people are lifeless because they are automatically put forth into the ether, without being impregnated with soul force. Too much talking, exaggeration or falsehood used in connection with words is just like shooting bullets out of a toy gun, without the gun powder.

Human beings like to think we are superior to animals, but the evidence shows we are no different from animals in this respect. Every generation finds reasons to conduct atrocities and wage wars. The idea that we can coexist peacefully seems for many, like an idealistic, overly-optimistic dream, rather than anything founded in ...
