THE HIDDEN SOULS OF WORDS
Keys
to Transformation
Through the Power of Words
Its been said that talk is cheap. Yet, people are drawn
to Talk Shows, children love stories and words still make the world go
round.
And even an accidental wrong word spoken has started wars.
Words are powerful, we
knowbut do they have a deeper
meaning than what appears on the surface? Interview guest Mary Cox Garner
knows
first hand the importance of words. Having been a nuclear disarmament
negotiator during the Reagan and Bush I years, Mary knows the
importance of
watching your wordsespecially when sitting across from Soviet leaders
with
their interpreters. One false word, one misinterpretation andwe shudder
to
think.
But going beyond the
negatives of what words not to say
or even taking words at their outer face value meaning, is it possible
that words
go much deeper, even to the point of having souls?
Mary
Garner says, Yes. In fact, she wrote a book on this
very subject.
After hearing
what Mary Garner has to say about words
during your Talk Show interview, you and your listeners will never be
the same.
In fact, if you listen and
take to heart the words Mary
says about the words we used every day, you will never again be able to
use
words casually or without careful attention and feeling. It will give
you a
heightened awareness that our words are symbols of Divine wisdom given
to
assist us in recognizing our inextricable connection with God and one
another.
Mary Garner, author of the
book, The Hidden Souls of
Words, endorsed by Deepak Chopra and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, delves
into the
souls of words we use every day and how each word can enlighten
communications
by opening our hearts and minds to healing, and transformation. The
spiritual
truths for which so many are searching will be revealed or deepened
through an
in-depth understanding of the souls of these words.
It is synchronistic
that The Hidden Souls of Words
has been revealed at this important and decisive moment in our history.
At this
crucial time, many are yearning for spiritual meaning and for ways to
live a
more balanced and authentic life.
On every level and
in every aspect of life, our
words are powerful and determinative. It becomes clear how the
ineffective use,
distortion or misinterpretation of our words have often affected the
whole
direction of our lives and caused us great difficulty. Humanity has
suffered
wars, famine, depression, death and destruction that have stemmed in
large part
from the improper comprehension and use of our words. This horrifying
legacy
has been the basis of our planetary history, both ancient and modern.
The Hidden Souls of Words
will enable people everywhere
to have more peaceful and purposeful conversations; more harmonious and
meaningful relationships; to face and live with the mysterious
dichotomies of
life in a more innovative way. For example, when we recognize that the
root of
the word, anger, has to do with our distress over sorrow and grief, our
ways of
dealing with anger can be revolutionized. As a result, we would be more
capable
of acknowledging and talking out our feelings without fear and shame.
In
addition, making use of the positive aspects of anger will motivate us
to
respond effectively to the injustices and suffering in our world.
This exciting book explores a
new frontier by revealing priceless hidden wisdom found in the deep
spiritual nature of our words. The Hidden Souls of Words draws into the
light whatever has been hidden and brings this light to bear not only
in our personal lives, but also in the larger world of our
institutions, communities, and nation states.
"The Hidden Souls of Words opens the window to the soul..." --Deepak
Chopra, Author, How to Know God
"This is a beautiful book...May we use it to unlock all
kinds of power for the good of life." --Archbishop Desmond Tutu,
Chair-Truth & Reconciliation Commission, South Africa
