My good friend Denise gave me this wonderful book called the Four Agreements. WOW..it is INCREDIBLE!

The first agreement is the most important and also the most difficult to honor:

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD

It sounds very simple, but it is very, very powerful.

Why your word? Your word is the power that you have to create. Your word is the gift that comes directly from God. Through your intent, regardless of what language you speak. What you dream, what you feel, and what you really are will all be manifested through the word.

The word is a force; it is the power you have to communicate; to think, and thereby to create the events in your life. The word is the most powerful tool you have, but like a sword with two edges, your word can create the most beautiful dream, or your word can detroy everything around you. One edge of the sword is the misuse of the word, which creates a living heck. The other edge is the impeccablility of the word which will only create beauty, love and heaven on earth.

The human mind is like a fertile ground where seeds are continually being planted. The seeds are opinions, ideas, and concepts. The word is pure magic; we plant a seed, a thought, and it grows. Every human is a magician, and we thoughtlessly cast spells on each other all the time with our opinions. Someone gives an opinion and says "Look, that child is ugly." The child listens, believes she is ugly, and grows up with this idea. It doesn't matter how beautiful she is; as long as she has that agreement, she will believe that she is ugly. That is the spell she is under.

These types of spells are difficult to break. Whenever we hear an opinion and believe it, we make an agreement, and it becomes part of our belief system. The only thing that can break a spell is to make a new agreement based on the truth. The truth is the most important part of being impeccable with our word. Only the truth has the power to break the spell and set us free.

Now let us see what the word impeccability means. Impreccability means "without sin." Religions talk about sin and sinners, but let's understand what it really means to sin. A sin is anything you do which goes against yourself. You go against yourself when you judge or blame or reject yourself. Self-rejection is one of the biggest sins you can commit. Being impeccable is exactly the opposite. You take responsibility for your actions, but you do not judge, blame, or reject yourself.

Being impeccable with your word means using your energy in the direction of truth and love for yourself. If I see you in the street and I call you stupid, it appears that I'm using the word against you. But really I'm using my word against myself, and your hating me is not good for me. Therefore, if I get angry and with my word send that emotional poison to you, I'm using the word against myself.

If I love myself, I will express that love in my interactions with you, and then i am being impeccable with the word, because that action will produce a like reaction. If I love you, then you will love me. If I insult you, you will insult me. If I'm selfish with you, you will be selfish with me. If I use the word to put a spell on you, you are going to put a spell on me.

You can measure the impeccablility of your word by your level of self-love. How much you love yourself and how you feel about yourself is directly proportionate to the quality and integrity of your word. When you speak with integrity, and say exactly what you mean, you are impeccable with your word; you feel good; you feel happy and at peace.

Being impeccable with your word also means to refrain from spreading gossip. Gossip can be compared to a computer virus. A virus is a piece of computer language written with a harmful intent. This code is inserted into the program of your computer without your awareness. After this code has been intorduced, your computer doesn't work right anymore. In the same way, one little piece of misinformation can break down communication between people, causing every person it touches to become infected and contagious to others.

If you make an agreement with yourself to be impeccable with your word, just with that intention, the truth will manifest through you and clean all the emotional poison within you. When you follow this agreement, you begin to see all the changes that can happen in your life-first in the way you deal with yourself, and later in the way you deal with other people, especially those you love the most.

Impeccability of the word can lead you to personal freedom, to huge success and abundance; it can take away all fear and transform it into joy and love. You can attain the kingdom of heaven from the one agreement; Be Impeccable with your word.

Very very powerful words Tracy. It really makes you stop and think!

I, too, have the same issue with thinking about Tennessee. It was quite the event and I can't seem to put into words what it meant to me. I definitely know God is leading me down a road "I" thought I wasn't ready for. :)

Love you Sweetie ~

I really liked that book - I read it a month or two ago and still am struggling with it, especially, the second one of taking nothing personally.
