And as we find our way to live in the troubled world story of the present, ultimately we find it in our own story. Nothing really means anything outside of the context of our own story, for this is the only context in which we are present, move, breathe and act. Great wisdom traditions tell us that our words are key. The esoteric traditions tell us that the chakra, the energy center, in our throats is the center of creativity. Forming language is the beginning of all things.
Words have a concrete, organic reality.
Each pronunciation calls forth an image with a sound to become a sensually felt whole. The words mean something to us, and that meaning calls up our full sense of the realities they symbolize. The symbol forms a reflected reality within our mind, and we feel it physically and emotionally. To form patterns of words into an unfolding context is to create. Making a story is the essence of creation.
