A friend recently shared a “good morning” meme with me on Facebook, and it stirred something I’ve been exploring for years—the way everyday words shape our inner world. I felt moved to write this and share my reflections along with the wisdom of Laurel Airica. 💛
Why Language Feels “Designed”
There’s a question that lives in the back of my mind:
Why would there be conscious manipulation of our language?
Who benefits when people speak without understanding the deeper meanings of the words they use? A quote often attributed to Peter Kreeft sums it up:
“Control language and you control thought; control thought and you control action; control action and you control the world.”
Whether or not every twist in language was intentionally engineered, the effect is similar: if we don’t know what our words once meant, we may not realize how they are shaping our beliefs, our relationships, and our sense of reality.

Thank you to everyone who means me well when they wish me a good morning. I receive your kindness. 
A small share from my journey: after a life-review experience, I saw how the subconscious is shaped by sound and symbol. Since ‘morning’ echoes ‘mourning,’ I choose greetings that uplift my inner world—‘grand rising,’ ‘bright day,’ or simply ‘good day.’ For me, words aren’t just labels; they’re little levers in the mechanism of creation—reminders that thoughts become things.
One more reflection: we’re taught words and even how to think, yet I don’t remember ever being introduced to etymology—the roots and journeys of our words. Discovering, for example, that ‘smart’ once meant to cause sharp pain and that ‘nice’ originally meant ignorant (later fastidious, then pleasant) made me much more deliberate in how I speak. Knowing where words come from helps me choose ones that align with life, love, and clarity.
This isn’t about correcting anyone—only to bring awareness, share my journey and my practice. If you’re curious about language and resonance, this short piece by Laurel Airica offered me “food for thought” (more in comments): https://youtu.be/mJTpwe3OiV8?si=6X_u82kBqNSbWXkl
May our words be born of grace—gentle spells—our hearts open, and our days bright.
Much love,

Why would there be conscious manipulation of our language? Those that do this lack spiritual insight. “What is hidden is language?
“Control language and you control thought; control thought and you control action; control action and you control the world.” -Peter Kreeft
If we understand the secret of language can we harness the almost ‘magical’ nature of words to influence our reality?
Most of us overlook how the spelling and sounds created by words might actually be manipulating how we think and act. Laurel Airica is one of those people who has recognized the immense power of language and has dedicated her life to upgrading the codex in order to enhance our collective existence…..”
