The work of transformation is about creating a new life, about creating a new self. This self, as we know, exists in language. Who we are is our thought, our beliefs and what we say, our Word. To transform, to alter our existence has to be done on the level of our Word, what we say and put out into the world, as that is what will come back to us, what will show up as our experience.
This work that I refer to is exactly that, work. At first the work will be merely an idea that we are contemplating, not necessarily doing. Then we will take on doing it, saying positive words, putting them out into the world. Shortly after we generate positive words we will probably go back to what we did in the past. The tendency in the beginning of the transformation is to keep what we have in existence, to not give it up immediately. It is only through constant staying with this work of generating positive language, of continuing to generate positive words, even when we go back to being negative, that the work actually starts to happen, that actually starts to show up in our life.
