1) The Importance of Words

Words are the most important thing in our daily life and life in general. We express our thinking with words, and the words we use convey emotion and mood to others. We give excitement or despair to other people. We have to know well what important works the words are doing.(91-73)

People use words to express themselves. It is the words that prove the personality of the person instead of what he or she does. The Chinese character which means "believe" is interesting, isn't it? It consists of two parts: one part means "person," the other part means "words."(66-242)

2) Words with Love Inside

When we speak centering upon love, then no matter how badly we speak or whatever we speak, we inevitably prosper and develop, and the universe will rejoice.(91-91)

3) Words and Action

Thinking is important. All human activities and all human words start with thinking. So you have to have the right thinking, and when you speak, speak from that thinking. \ Here exists the universe and God. You should speak representing the universe and representing humankind. (126-20)

You know that in this world we often say, "That person is good with words." We know for a fact there are those who are good with words. But it is not good if the words alone are good. Those who are good not only at words but also at behavior or in their actions are those who pass the tests in life. We think that way. Whether it is better to have more words or more deeds is a very important issue in our life.

Centering upon this issue it is decided whether a certain person is a good person or a bad person. The value of good and evil is determined. When we speak, what should we speak centering on? What should we center upon when we act? It is not good if words are only words and actions are only actions. We should stand in the position of the sons and daughters of God and speak and behave as God's sons and daughters.(91-73)

When you speak and act, you should do so in such a way that everything may belong to God, everything may be supplemented by Heaven. When you talk to your friends and brothers and family members, you have to do so in such a way that you can move their hearts. (91-96)

4) The Harm Words Can Do

Those who have faith, those who are true, and those who want to live truthfully should not make a mistake in speaking words.(45-247)

You may use words instantaneously, but if you make mistakes in using one word, that influence will last for one year. In other words, if you misuse one word for one second, you will be put in a situation where you will have to pay the price for one year.(43-111)

You should not use the words you don't have in your mind. Absolutely not. You will be accused by heavenly law. (91-97)

5) The Posture of Listening

\When somebody speaks to you, then there is a triangular relationship established between the person who speaks, God, and yourself. In this triangular relationship, there is necessarily a purpose between God, myself and that person on three points. The question is whether those three points are in accord with the points of purpose for God, yourself, and that person, respectively. Unless they are in accord, that relationship will get twisted and destroyed, no matter how hard you try. Unless that is in accordance with the will of God, the heavenly fortune will depart instantly.

You should develop a habit so that you can understand these things without prayer. You have to evaluate these things, centering upon your first impression.

In that case, if God is not pleased with what that person has said, there will necessarily occur some phenomena of discord. For example, you will feel angry at the person you see for the first time and some bad words will come out like thunder. You have to reach that state, but to reach there, you need to make preparations.

Therefore you must not stand in a position where you always criticize others. You have to examine what kind of impression you give to others in the first moment of meeting without saying a word. Also, when you listen to the first word of that person, you should notice how your heart moves.

You should examine those things. In other words, in the relationship between subject and object, you have to examine whether that relationship goes well by you. By adjusting the angle of that feeling, you should examine your position by drawing a line that God seeks, and see if you exist as a plus or as minus. If it is a plus, you should move in accordance with that point. (40-82)

The important thing is not the content of a person's words. The important point is the impression, the first feelings of the person who listens to those words. You should always think about this by yourself. Therefore, when somebody speaks to you, you should ask yourself what kind of feelings your mind and body have in listening to those words, before you think about the content of those words. If you get accustomed to that kind of thinking, then no matter what may happen, you know whether it will be good or bad, plus or minus for you.(40-68)

You should realize that in the past Adam and Eve failed because they were not able to distinguish the nature of the words which they heard horizontally. So, you should become perfected persons who have perfect personalities and who can make distinctions.

If Adam and Eve had been able to distinguish the words of the Archangel with the original nature given by nature and Heaven, they would not have fallen. (3-162)
