CURSE OF THE WICKED TONGUE

wicked tongue is a curse that's plagued the world for centuries, it's destroyed nations, started wars, ended friendships, marriages, and even families, as well as divided us into races, causing us to feud over nothing worthy. The tongue has tremendous power, it's one of the most powerful tools we have as human beings, next to imagination and self-awareness. Ignorance of this power causes immense suffering for ourselves and others. Believe it or not, there are forces who wish to keep your tongue wicked and use your ignorance against you. The media whose job is to distribute information uses the wicked tongue to spread fear, lies, gossip, etc... And calls it entertainment. Beware of what you feed your mind, it becomes what you speak about, and what you speak about you become. Ignorance of the law of the spoken and unspoken word is the beginning of a wicked tongue.

I was once like most careless with my tongue, lying, cursing myself as well as people I claimed to love by holding conversations either internally or externally about poverty, sickness, etc... Gossiping about people I've never met and probably never will, scrolling through social media or Tell-lie- vision making judgments about everything and everyone. Then one day as I sat in meditation observing internal dialogue I realized ninety percent of the thoughts were pointless. It mostly consisted of judgments of people, places, and things that never asked for my opinion.

This observation lead me to ask myself two important questions, is it necessary to have an opinion about everything, and two do these opinions make my life better in any way? I came to realize like most of us I inherited the wicked tongue. My family was full of individuals who gossiped, and criticized strangers, each other as well as me. So it was passed down to me in childhood. And to answer my second question, no it didn't make my life better in any way, it was a waste of time, and a waste of the mental energy I could've been using for myself.
As I became more and more aware of the internal dialogue, I began noticing that the thoughts were also judgmental towards myself, full of self-doubt, fear, and resentment. I started to see a connection between the things I spoke about, how I felt and how I perceived myself and the world around me. I could see clearly my tongue was indeed wicked, but powerful. If I told myself or I am told " you're stupid" and I believe it to be true, I will start behaving in a way I believe a stupid person does, I would limit myself to doing only that which I believe a stupid person could achieve, never challenging myself. This is why in the spiritual community you hear words are spells that bind you, better put create reality. Your word is law, watch what you believe because you'll create it. Be mindful of the conversation you entertain with yourself and others, beware of the wicked tongue.
