They're just words. Aren't they?

I know some people who will say some harsh
things and say they're just kidding.

I know some people who will role play being
humiliated, and it is just for the moment,
so what harm can there be?

I know some people who will say things to
put themselves down, and laugh about it,
and think nothing of it.

I heard quite some time ago that in words
there is power. Interestingly I'd say a
lot of the power comes from meaning we
attach to them, however, it would seem
that they do have some life of their own,
too.

At least according to some.

Now whether or not it is "true," I wonder
if it is something worth paying attention
to. After all, if it is true, we might
want to be really careful what we say and
do, as it might create things we don't
want.

If it isn't true, how would we know?

Putting that aside, is it such a terrible
thing to consider putting ourselves in
situations that are more positive and
affirming?

The next time you think something is
"just" for fun, you might want to step
back and ask yourself if this version of
fun is something that you would want to
be a part of your life. If you are
exposed to something, it is in some
part a part of you. You may put it
aside, but it is something that is alive.

I have seen these momentary seeds grow.

There is a man, Emoto, who did some
studies with water and ice crystals.
The results are explained, in part,
in the video below. If you have a
few minutes, check it out, and see
what you think.

You may think it a bunch of c***,
and if that is the case, good for you.

Life is about choosing what works for
us, and if you have beliefs that work
for you, I think it great that you
never let something tell you otherwise.

Miss USA, Words, Meaning, and Reality

Tara Conner says that lingerie and a bathing suit
are the same thing, just different material,
and I couldn't agree more.

The above link is a response to the Miss USA
Waking Up in Vegas pictures.

When I started out in the erotic world,
I had to decide for myself what I thought
would be acceptable to show. I came to
the same conclusion that Tara did.

I figured if someone could see me in
person in a bathing suit, they would
likely see the same thing, as if I
was in my bra. I also considered all
of the ads that I would see on TV and
in print, and realized that what I was
offering was comparable.

Some bathing suits will even cover less
than what my bra does. It is interesting
how people respond to things like this,
and it reminds me of another point that
Leo Buscaglia brought up.

He mentions Dr. Timothy Leary who was at
Harvard in his book, Love. He quotes
him as saying, "'Words are a freezing
of reality.'"

The idea behind it is that when you learn
words you learn them intellectually and
emotionally, and you're pretty much "stuck"
there, as your world gets built upon the
meanings with the use of labels.

So while some people might be OK with the
idea of bathing suits, as skimpy as they
may be, they may take issue with something
that seems to be more taboo, and considered
more emotionally private, like lingerie.

As a child these associations are early
hypnosis, and the people who react to this
kind of thing, are doing just that - reacting.

The problem (if there is one) is that a person
needs to be aware of what associations s/he is
making (or has made) to be able to alter them,
and often that isn't possible, as the thought
and the person feel and act like one.

Whenever someone reacts, it's a good sign some
form of hypnosis has taken place, and some
association is unconsciously being acted upon.

Interesting to consider how this relates to how
we communicate and live with each other in the
world, isn't it?
