Words mean things.
Indeed, collected words are amongst the most powerful of tools. When they are utilized in a cohesive fashion, they can lead to a vast array of outcomes - from liberation to enslavement, from manifestation to destruction.
They can bolster a person’s spirit when in deep despair, and drive a person surfing peaceful vibes into the darkest chasms of the soul. Through repetition, and covert and subconscious manipulation, they can be used to reprogram an entire people into submission: “Repeat a lie oft enough, it becomes truth,” to paraphrase the old saw.
They can also be used to inspire those same people to rise once again.
“Mind your words,” parents once taught their children, because before we were culturally (and almost-completely) separated from natural energies, the power of - the power within - them was understood. Words truly are ‘magical’ in an ethereal sense, and how one casts them determines whether the magic they project is of the light… or the dark.
Words mean things… or, at least they used to.
They have been working to change this, however. There has been a concerted effort over the last few decades - by those who wield global power from places like DC and London and Davos - to corrupt our existing language, to redefine words so that they can be deployed to bolster the twisted narratives spun by those with said-power. Academia to news media, advertisements to a variety of cultural vehicles… all, being used to alter our understanding of reality, to coil us into a never-ending state of doubt and confusion.
To strip us of what we know is true… know to be Natural.
It is through this upending-of-language where once-noble ideas are corrupted, and we have all seen examples of this. Laudable concepts like equality, fairness, and diversity have been transformed into weapons used to destroy the livelihoods and reputations of those who do not march lock-step with the new, progressive interpretations.
‘Invasion’ has been transmuted into ‘immigration,’ setting cities ablaze became 'mostly peaceful protests,’ ‘the Patriarchy,’ has been twisted into a laughable catchphrase, and “protecting women’s spaces” now means you must allow biological men into their showers.
We have previously discussed the vile perversion of “justice,” but there is so much more. Science is no longer real ‘science,’ federal agents superseding their Constitutional authority are portrayed as ‘the good guys,’ porn is normalized despite studies that prove its long-term harm to both performers and viewers, on-line censorship is celebrated as a means of fighting ‘extremism.’
Oh, and also? Men can get pregnant, because under the new rules of course we can.
All of these are possible because of the corruption of ‘words,’ with the manipulations of phrasing being so subtle and surreptitious? We barely notice them taking root.
Once they do, however, and are fully ingrained, we oft use them without thought or care. We do not consider the underlying (the subconscious) energy which is embedded within them; we parrot them, because we have been conditioned to do so.
We have stopped, ‘minding our words.’
And while the reprogramming has been insidious and covert… it has not been accidental. Indeed, this has been a very deliberate action; ever remember, these people have over four millennia of experience at this… they know what they are doing.
Just to be clear, these alterations largely have no bearing on my day-to-day life; as an individual who (like many of you) possesses a fairly-cognitive mind, such minutia has no sway over me personally because I have identified the sly propaganda within it. There are still many whom have yet to do this, however - I have known many of them - thus they are susceptible to the programming.
Even more chilling, however? This vile garbage is also being taught in schools, to children whose minds - while highly intuitive - are still forming those cognitive functions, and are oft easily influenced… easily programmed. Easily indoctrinated.
“He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future,” as a rather well-known dictator muttered a few times.
So when you combine the corruption of language along side the treacherous social-conditioning being performed on our children… can you see the potential for damage? While these children’s cognitive abilities may not yet be capable of reasoning out these embedded abstractions, their intuitive minds are most certainly absorbing them; they know instinctually that what they are being told is not right… but without a developed mind to reason things out, they are left feeling lost, adrift, and angry.
Truly, the underlying psychological damage is almost impossible for us to gauge. Now, translate that damage into those children entering adulthood.
And folks wonder why we have an uptick in people 'snapping’ and lashing out.
I firmly believe we are in the final stages of a sinister ‘transformation’ that has been going on for well over a century; we are being torn down from within (slowly and mercilessly and oft without even knowing it) and deliberately separated from Nature and each other. This is being done through the use of phrases we continuously - yet unwittingly - project and absorb.
We collectively never consider the power those phrases may be having on our spirits, or the spirts of our children, because we have forgotten one of the most basic of natural, absolute truths.
Words mean things. Still.

I love that you wrote this. I was walking my friend’s dog just prior to reading this, thinking the EXACT same things. I am and have pretty much always been on the quiet side. I need to think before I speak….even more so because I was raised by people who did not think before they spoke and it was damaging. I read The Hidden Messages In Water and it made a lot of sense. I often think many people speak a lot of words that might not truly be necessary, especially on social media, which I am not a part of aside of a few Substack writers. The older I get, the more I appreciate the value of silence. This was a really great missive. Thank you, sir.
When you read Marcuse and find yourself reading a paragraph for the third time, it’s a sign it’s word salad and cognitive dissonance sandwich. And the weak minded idiots who pretended that A is not A, it’s more advanced to construct so Hegelian Mousetrap because Truth is ever unfolding should be scoffed at and given deep wedgies.
Something that was true - I was asleep - can become untrue - I am now awake.
But Truth remains fixed.
