The strange dwarf
There once lived a king whose daughter was
always ill. The fairy-godmother of the princess told the king that his daughter
would become well if she ate an apple. The king immediately announced that he
who brought the apple which would do the princess well would marry her. The news
spread across the country. Three brothers, who had a large apple tree in their
garden, decided to try their luck and began harvesting apples.
The older brother filled a basket with apples
and headed off for the palace. On the way, he met a dwarf who asked him what he
had in his basket. The young man, ungracious as he was, replied that he had
frogs. The dwarf, then, told him that as he was saying so it would be. When the
big brother arrived at the palace he gave the basket to a guard. The guard carried
the basket to the princess, but as soon as she opened it, dozens of live frogs jumped
out. The young man could not explain what had happened and run away for fear
that he would be punished.
The next day the middle brother decided to try
his luck. He prepared a basket of apples and headed off for the palace. On the way
he met the strange dwarf who asked him what he had in his basket. The young man
responded that he had mice, so the dwarf confirmed that as he was saying so it
would be. This time the king himself carried the basket to the princess, but as
soon as she opened it, dozens of live mice jumped out.
On the third day the younger brother decided to
go to the palace. He filled his basket with apples and left. On the way he met
the same strange dwarf who asked once again what he had in his basket. The
young man replied that he had apples for the princess so that she would heal,
and the dwarf commented that as he was saying then so it would be. When the young
man arrived at the palace he gave the apples to the princess and as soon as she
ate the first one she immediately felt better. The King's gratitude was
indescribable and kept his promise. So the younger brother married the princess
and the two lived happily.

Language is a shaping force in the field of
vibration. All manifested universe is the gradual unfolding of a primordial
vibration, a first sound - the well-known Aum according to the oriental
cosmogony traditions.
The energy structure of the man is a complex
tool that has the ability to tune in to all the qualities of the universe. The
energy center of the throat (otherwise 5th chakra) is the key to the creative
power of speech.
Through the words we create vibrations. Words
are powerful tools that shape through the vibrations which create our entire
existence. They contain both semantic and energy messages through the vibration
they carry, so it is not only the verbal message but also the qualitative
vibration which the 5th chakra emits in order to support the message. Many
people may feel that they express themselves and say what they need to
communicate but they finally realize that it is like "talking to a brick
wall." They are not heard because the message which underlies their words
does not support what they want to succeed. Often, what they receive from the
recipient is exactly the opposite, because vibration is much more essential in
our interaction than the exact words. For example, a teacher may think that he
has set limits on his students by explaining verbally the rules of the class,
but if his energy body emits lack of respect, insecurity, weakness and
unreliability, his students will read the second message and most of the times
they will reflect it back, informing him at the same time about what kind of
information he carries and externalizes without realizing it.
Words have the power to cause within the
individual the quality of their vibration and the reality they represent.
Through the words we use we define our dominant vibration and thus shape our
entire existence. Therefore, we have to pay close attention to our words
because sooner or later they will affect our inner truth and reality.
The expressional vocabulary of someone is
directly related to his level of consciousness. It is no coincidence that
people with a high level of consciousness use clear, sophisticated, accurate
and beautiful speech. By contrast, people of low level of consciousness use
verbal stereotypes, a "popular", coarse language that lacks
expressive precision and elegance. The use of ugly words, even if this is done
automatically, awakens low vibrations inside us and builds negative characteristics
- their accumulative influence is very significant even though we do not
realize it.
The word builds universes. With the word we
build and define our world.
