What should our way of speaking be like? How important is the use of the verb?

Answer from the V.M. Samael Aun Weor.

Socrates demanded precision of the word as the basis of his Dialectic.

In our Revolution of Dialectics, we demand precision of the word as the basis.

The word, a distinctive human characteristic, is the instrument of individual expression and communication between people.

It is the vehicle of external language and the discharge or externalization of the complicated internal language, which can be used by the Self or by the ego.

Plato, in the dialogue "Phaedo," expressed to one of his disciples a concept famous for its depth and moral delicacy, as a human principle of linguistic propriety.

He says: "Know it, my dear Crito, that to speak in an improper manner is not only to commit a fault in what one says, but also a kind of harm done to souls."

Answer from the magazine "The The wisdom of the Being.".

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God…” is what we read in the Gospel of Saint John, to show us how sacred the Word is, since Saint John links it to divinity itself as the origin of the universe.

If we want to approach divinity, we need to unite its attributes; therefore, if the Word is the origin of all that exists, it is essential that our way of speaking be gallant, beautiful, and precious.

Our way of dressing, behaving, and speaking must be full of beauty; this is indicated by the teachings of the third arcane in the science of numbers. This is the way we can truly be part of the path to that which has no name, nor ever shores.

In pre-Hispanic Mexico, we find these ideas manifested in the sign of the Flower (Xochitl), but it often appears in the mouths of various gods, for example, Xochitl in the Borgia Codex. It helps us understand the beauty that must exist in the way we express ourselves; in not lying, not blaspheming, not criticizing, not using obscene words, not raising falsehoods; this attitude is what leads us to express what Beethoven said.

"Peace and joy float gently like the movement of waves, which rush brutal and fiery, as if transformed by great excitement."

Master Samael tells us: "A gentle word calms anger. Persuasion has more power than violence," and Beethoven confirms this here. It might seem that peace and joy would at one time be weaknesses of character; however, it is quite the opposite; they are forces as powerful as the waves of the sea that can overcome everything that is thrown at them.
