“2011 is a prosperous year for me
All my good reaches me quickly and easily.
My life is Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams.”
In high school I was a sweet talking angel. Well,…I really didn’t talk much, but when I did nary a harsh or disparaging word escaped my lips. And never did I resort to profanity. Never, ever.
Then, I decided to get a job driving trucks. Oh my, how things changed. I took a job with a maverick (non-union) cartage company working on the docks loading and unloading trucks.
I don’t remember eating dinner my entire first week. I’d come home to a late shower and fall asleep. My 17 year old body was pushed to the limit.
Unfortunately my stamina was challenged by more than the hard physical work. My ears were assaulted hourly by some of the most vile language imaginable.
I remember my ears ached painfully every minute of every day. I know that sounds silly, but my ears hurt physically from the words. I have this mental image of a steel door pounded constantly by a massive battering ram. I almost quit because of that horrid language. But I was young and really wanted to drive a truck.
So one day this one particular dock hand who was built like a fullback and armed with a pirate’s tongue started in on me as usual and I just couldn’t take it any longer. That steel door collapsed and sprung open with a vengeance.
I didn’t know I even knew all the words that came pouring out of my mouth. I am embarrassed to this day that I gave in to the corrupt and disgraceful behavior.
But I did.
On the good side my ears instantly stopped hurting, but at what cost? Bad language has plagued my life ever since.
That “my steel door” was a protective veil that kept me safe from the ugliness and often harsh rewards of profanity. As long as I resisted, that talk held no sway over me. Just a little ear pain; nothing more.
Now, this language occupies a special place in my brain. And deleting it has become terribly difficult.
My doctor pointed that out one day during stroke rehab. I was trying to explain my problem in a barely understandable garble when all of a sudden F bombs and worse started dropping as clear as the bells in St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
Apparently profanity is stored in a place safe from strokes. Heck of a thing to find out after a stroke. I couldn’t bless folks clearly, but boy could I curse them. He said any time I was frustrated I was likely to spew forth all manner of trash.
This led to a rather troubling experience with a police officer trying to warn me about a broken tail light. Boy could I have used a miracle healing right then.
There’s a lot more to stroke recovery than walking straight.
The doctor called it stroke turrets. I’ve tried looking that up, but all I could find was a reference to potty mouth syndrome.
So, here’s my WARNING! Choose your words carefully. They build your life…for good or bad.
And believe me bad language is minor compared to the effect your words can have on whether you get the rich life you deserve. Or a lifetime of pain and struggle.
Every word is a command. If you say, for example, “my life is a mess I’ll never have the things I want.”
Then you won’t. You’ve just guaranteed it.
If you curse your fate or someone else in a moment of pain and frustration, then you are asking for exactly what you do not want.
And we do it all the time. Self deprecation seems more polite than positive, winning confidence. Besides who wants to expect something that doesn’t happen.
Unfortunately, negative talk is a sure fire way to keep your requests from reaching you.
Positive talk on the other hand speeds delivery of the good life you want.
Oh, as you recognize and accept the good you ask for, the whole process gets easier.
This year I resolve to establish new neural pathways and banish my bad language forever. I further pledge to speak only positive, healthy commands guaranteed to attract the rich, happy and gentle life I constantly strive for.
Will you join me? Together we can change the world one word at a time.

Have one of the best years of your life in 2011!
God of heaven and earth, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, may He cause His spirit to fall afresh (on you, melt you, mould you, fill you and use you) enkindle in you the fire of love to renew the face of the earth. And to ask God that you may fully attain to the knowledge of His will, by being given spiritual insight and understanding so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and give Him entire satisfaction by perennially bearing fruit in every good enterprise strengthened with all power according to the might of His glory. Now unto Him, that can do all good things through His mercy and love which surpasses more than any thing you think, keep you strong to the end so that you will be blameless on day of our Lord Jesus Christ- Amen
Hi Tom,
I to tend to fall back on rough language when my emotions are up. More than the words themselves, I think the real issue is the actual process of Thought + Emotion + Spoken Word (positive or negative).
This is the actual process of creation. So when you’re angry you have some sort of mental image (usually not good) you have a rush of emotion while imagining that mental image and you blurt out a word corresponding to the emotion…that is a powerful process for creation.
What then agitates that process, is after the word is spoken we then continue to hold whatever image is upsetting us in our minds. By holding the image while speaking the negative words, that thought form gets lodged in our auric field and the high emotional content magnetizes that thought form. Once that thought form is magnetized, the law of attraction kicks in and other, similar vibrationally matched thought forms are drawn into our field.
And the day just gets worse…lol
Awsome and so true! Yes i also want a good positive life and have all the fruits of the spirit flowing from me. It so pay off to be humble and nice to others and keep the path moving and legasy till death do us part. What comes around goes around so true!
God bless always

I am with you Tom.
I very rarely use bad language, but as you said, the words are in my head. They tend to jump out of my mouth on occasions totally unexpectedly – mainly when on a busy road if other drivers get too close or carve me up.
I resolve to build new, cleaner neural pathways this year.

Good description. Now lets turn that creative energy loose on good. Getting a handle on anger is tough.
Hi Tom,
You see, you are not alone. From time to time I find myself in that number too. The difference is, I know that when I allow something, or someone to upset me, I give them power over me. So, when I start to feel myself getting upset, I say to myself, “I will not give you my power!” Most of the time it works along with a lot of prayer; still much work to be done in this area also.
Thank You Tom for share a valuable lesson.
I have not need to speak bad language. However, I find myself saying them to myself and that even worst. I will be careful of the words that I tell myself. My wish for each person is joy, peace and love. This is a great way to start 2011. Tom, thanks for sharing.

EXCELLENT MESSAGE! Excellent analogy!!! AMAZING Experience.
Yes, I’m with you, in commitment. I don’t have a background of a foul mouth, BUT I do have a background of pity parties and victim thinking that needs to stop. So, I pledge that this day.
Your message is SO timely for me. It’s great encouragement.
Thanks
Hi
This is so timely for me too. I am living my life as much in the Law of Attraction as I can and it’s great. I love it. But just recently my nervous system has been on red alert and a few certain people just triggered such an imense power of emotion in the pit of my stomach that I just let rip …. the worst language just came pouring out of my mouth. It was awful. It’s all ok now and we are all friends again. But when I get pushed this seems to be happening. I must learn to control it!!
Bri,
That’s the right attitude
All of us have work to do Yvonne. If we could somehow remember that we are never victums. That we always have access to the greatest power in the Iniverse…but alas we do tend to forget in the heat of the moment. Maybe Penelope and I could do something an this …devise a plan for clearing deep anger.
Victims. The word is victims.
Tom, WOW!
I can relate to that! – My ears burned and tried to close themselves every time I heard foul language until one day at 18 I was driving to work in traffic and someone did something stupid and I let loose. Since then – it pours out way too easily. I tried prayer, reading the meanings of the words and trying to use them only if they fit the situation – (that doesn’t work – as you can imagine), studying new vocabulary – to use more appropriate words. I’m with you!!!!! If there’s a way to eliminate that garbage and create new neural pathways let’s do it!!!
Here’s my take… words are just words…. you (or someone else adds the meaning (or emotion) to them…. the reason its working is because (and you forgot this – I read something in your book) you’re getting bloody pissed off – and you should – damn it. Not all negetives are negetive – not all positives are positive – sometimes you have to wake up, blame the fucking universe for doing you wrong and demand it be set straight and right. And trust me, when you get that mad, it does. That’s my experience. I doubt if you read these so I won’t go on – but there’s more where that came from.
LB, I do read all these things. This post seems to have created a bit of a storm. Yes, we all get angry and letting the the frustration out is like a release valve. That way we don’t explode. All I’m saying is it’s too easy to dismiss bad language as having no effect. Yet all causes have an effect. And the effect of bad language, negative language is counter to what we truly wish yo attract in our lives. I know it hurts me, so i am resolving to change what i can change.
No judgment. Just seeking the best i can be. Thanks for the comment
Tom,
This is a great teaching story, I’m thankful that you shared it even though this issue pains you, and obviously brings up pain for others.
You’re right about this being said not to judge others, you are explaining from personal experience a foundational energy healing issue. You’ve gone to the other side and back, you have something of value to share with anyone who will listen.
I’m listening.
Because most of us are familiar with your work of asking, my suggestion is that anyone with similar experiences humbly ask that the “pirate” thought-forms of the past or any others that still lurk be removed from wherever they are lodged in the etheric memory envelope. Ask for the cause, the core and the memory be gently, safely and easily removed.
The etheric is the layer of the human bio-energy field closest to the physical body, including the brain. It is also between the emotional envelope (where clairvoyants see changing colors).
Just as the etheric field energizes the physical body, so does the emotional field energize it. Sometimes the energy of traumatic experience and our response to it forms blocks in the etheric field.
Just as there is always an etheric equivalent to the trauma or block that the brain or other part of the body carries, there is also a Divine equivalent in the outermost field, the spiritual envelope. That “outer” envelope contains infinite spheres of beauty: all the positive divine qualities derived from all our good experiences and our connections with the divine spheres of others.
The spiritual field contains the fruit on our “tree of life” that carries the exact antidote required. That field is the part of the “heaven” that we reach when we ask for our own or another’s healing..
We are human. We each carry our own blocks. And thankfully we are built so beautifully that we can each learn about the nature of our energies, and access the means to clear them as they come up for transformation.
My love to you and all interacting on this wonderful blog. Tom, thanks most of all for all you do and putting yourself out there. To love so fearlessly is the greatest privilege of life. To know those who love so fearlessly is my greatest joy.
Kindest regards,
Donna
Great thoughts Donna. Thanks. I’ll try it.
Thank you Tom for sharing its in all of us great reminder though to keep renewing our minds blessings
