The subject matter of "Power of Words" is a viewpoint in the schools of Wishful Thinking, Affirmation, Laws of Attraction and Religion. These schools of thought promote the doctrine of the effectiveness of "WORD" in prayers, religious or occultic practices. All beliefs that share the view of "Power of Words", derive their energy from a universe which births a belief in the "saying" and "prophesy" or beliefs of "[i][/i][b][/b][i][/i]whatever you say, will come to pass. Many religions of the world have practiced this and have testified its effectiveness. Other pseudoscientific beliefs such as the Laws of Attraction, believe in affirmation - that "anything you say frequently will come to you". Believers of the Laws of Attraction have similar testimony as other universal belief systems. The bottom-line argument is if, the affirmation of "words" is effective or purely deceitful. Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and other religious believers may have different experiences with affirmation of words. Some research have been conducted on persons who prayed for positive things to happen in their life but, probably got disappointed when their answers were not heard. This is usually diffused with statements such as "God knows best". Some believers keep up with the practice, some discontinue. Many actually believe prayers, affirmations, wishful thinking are just "statements" and have no real impact on the physical environment. Some believe religion is ineffective and creates excuses for failed promises such as "do not question God". Believers have defended their religious faith as the "one" that works if persons willingly surrender their hearts to God or a Universal belief - therefore, it is only through blind faith, belief and a relationship with God or a Universe that affirmation and prayer would work on persons. In practical sense, many would want to inquire if casual words have impact on others - for example, persons saying negative comments at each other in arguments - one would wonder if these words could manifest in the universe? In most cases, NO. There's hasn't been a proven situation or sufficient evidence, a person has been affected positively or negatively by words said unto them. Neither have anyone who have practiced wishful thinking or laws of attraction attracted anything they wished for nor affirmed it in practise. Many who may have practiced these affirmative acts through positive thinking, prayers or laws of attraction, never question why these affirmations never worked in their life and some either ignore or continue through an indifferent practised faith. Is there a distinction between affirmation that have "worked" effectively and COINCIDENCE? Persons have always attached the goods in their life to their gods. Others believe events are merely coincidence. We cannot be sure if affirmation is promoted by spiritual effects or events, we cannot also prove "affirmation" as a coincidence. It becomes unclear, when good events are attached to a positive thinking or God, and negative events being attached to the devil and in some beliefs - to God. There is no sufficient physical or spiritual evidence that clarifies this fact therefore, persons accept a truth, believing absolutely in any belief they choose. The subject matter is controversial in some parts of the world and in some regions, the subject matter is already defined based on an unrepentant belief in their faith. |
