Worlds of Words and Wonder

Summoning Back the Sacred Power of Language in the Age of AI

Introduction

The idea that words carry an energetic and sacred imprint is not new. It appears in ancient wisdom and mystical traditions, it is traceable to the teachings of Hinduism and the Vedas, the Kabbalah, Sufism and Islamic mysticism, Daoist and Chinese medicine traditions, and various Christian mystic lineages. While each tradition holds nuanced views, they mostly agree that every word carries vibrational significance, resonating with frequencies that align us with the divine.

Some traditions also suggest that words are capable of influencing reality itself. Language, then, is not just a tool of communication but a life force that can be directed. For example, Masaru Emoto, and more recently Veda Austin, have popularized the idea that words, music, and intention can influence the structure of water. There has also been considerable interest in how words affect plant life. Contemporary thinkers like Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, and Dr. Joe Dispenza continue to explore how language, thoughts, and beliefs shape biology and the quantum field. Similar insights also form the basis of methods like neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). I would add to this lineage the work of Laurel Airica, who invites us to see words as living vibrations—spells and shapes that impact mind, heart, body, soul, and society.

The list of contributors to this field is long, and their voices span across cultures and centuries. Mainstream science once dismissed such claims as speculative, lacking rigorous methodology. However, recent technological advancements are beginning to confirm what the mystics have always known.

Lastly, I want to acknowledge my own journey through the work of Systemic Constellations following the profound contributions of Bert Hellinger, the father of Family Constellations. His work (and now ours, the work of his followers) continues to reveal that the power of language goes beyond psychology. We now know that words are the language of the soul. Words can arrive in the mind seemingly out of nowhere- we call that intuition. And when used with awareness, they have the power to restore balance and catalyze deep transformation.

The notion that words bear an energetic imprint lives in every prayer, every spell, every poem, and in the shaman’s chant, the Vedic mantra, the mother’s lullaby.

You may be well aware of all this, or perhaps not yet fully conscious of it.
Whichever the case, in this era of language models (read: AI), we are being called to dive deeper into the sacred power of words. I am adding my voice to many others, including also a sense of urgency to it.

This is not about learning yet another new language.
This is about remembering the one our soul never forgot.

The Sacredness of Language

Books could be written about this but that is not my intention here. Rather, I want to offer a few reflections from my personal experience in the hope to inspire your own inquiry into remembering language as a conscious, soul-led choice.

But first things first.

Language Emptiness

Positive Psychology, through the works of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and others, has illuminated the importance of positivity and the power of words. But social media, and the Internet in general, have taken this to another level, bombarding us with “positive” quotes and curated affirmations scheduled by algorithms to appear at certain times on certain feeds.

I put the word positive in quotation marks because these words—no matter how profound on theory— when mechanically posted, lack the sacred power they were meant to carry. At best, they are hollow; at worst, they are toxic.

Why? Because…

The sacred power of words exists only when there is vibrational alignment between the words and our inner state. Only then do they become vessels of real energy, capable of traveling across time and space.

How do I know this? In Systemic Constellations, words can be spoken in any language, in the presence or absence of the person they are meant for. Regardless of whether both people speak the same language, or are even physically present, the words still do their work.

That’s because the actual word is less important than the vibration we program it with.
A simple example we all may have experienced: in the heat of an argument between spouses, someone might say, “I hate you.” But depending on the vibration, what’s truly felt may be: “I love you.”

Likewise, when we speak online or in real life, we encode our words with energetic meaning. The words vibrate not with their dictionary definitions, but with the frequency of our inner truth.

When we copy-paste without presence, our words become as empty as the ones generated by AI. And that brings me to an important point.

The Hollowness of Language in AI

The words “spoken” by AI do not carry vibration and sacredness. They may influence us because we read them and interpret them through our own internal programming. But that resonance doesn’t come from a conscious sender.

AI extracts words from real humans who once spoke them with a living vibration.
But when AI reuses those words, it cannot preserve the sacred frequency. It analyzes surface meaning using algorithms, but it does not sense their essense and the truth they carry.

Similarly, when we repeat things mechanically and without checking how they resonate with our inner truth, our words become hollow echoes.

Language as an Engine of Creation

Language, when attuned to our essence, doesn’t just describe. It moves. In Systemic Constellations, when a name or another word is spoken aloud, the field shifts.

When language aligns with truth, it becomes action. The word becomes an invocation. It summons presence. It opens a doorway. It has a creative force.
So does silence when filled with sacredness.

What I’ve learned is that this inner truth rarely needs many words. The more we explain, the more we speak from the mind. Our soul uses a few words but they carry immense power with their vibration. And the mind, when chattering, displaces the subtle vibration that was just beginning to rise.

Therefore, to feel the real vibrations of words, we need to speak less and listen more. We also need to carefully choose each word we use depending on how it feels on the inside. When unsure, we can test. Then we wait for the word that lands. That resonates. That remembers.

And here is one example. The following phrase spoken by a child to their mother (not in the mother’s presence but to her image or a representative): “You are my mother. I am your daughter/son” carries unbelievable power. These simple and profoundly true words can bring tears and crumble walls built over a lifetime. They resonate and tell truth that cannot be questioned no matter what happened later in life. And I've seen this across nationalities and languages…

When words are spoken sacredly, they do not require translation or proximity of presence through neither time, nor space. They have the capacity to shift lives fuelled by the power and resonance of truth. And vice-versa, when they are not encoded with this inner truth and vibration, they are just empty vessels.

Summoning Sacredness and Wonder Back

As Laurel Airica beautifully says, words are not just spoken—they are cast.
“To spell” is to enchant and encode.

Language is a living vibration, imbued with intention and transformative power. Our words are a sacred offering to ourselves, to each other, and to the universe. But only those words that resonate with inner truth carry true alchemical potency.

Easier said than done, though…

Years of copy-paste culture, and now AI, have created a dead language, devoid of sacred truth. This empty language hypnotizes us into separation. It has made us numb to the difference between hollow words and those infused with spirit.

And yet, my work tells me something else:

We have not forgotten the language of the soul. We still speak it…

Although we’ve outsourced so much of it to the machines, and we often fail to see that their language is hollow and devoid of truthfulness.

And how would we know when we are not conscious of the sacred power of words, and in general, our Human Advantage?

We are being summoned now, to remember.

In an article I read not long ago here on Substack, there was a provocative question. (My apologies—I can’t find it now to quote it.) It sounded something like this:

If we cannot differentiate between words spoken consciously and those generated by machines, does it matter what is said consciously and what is not?

Yes.
It matters deeply.

Just as it matters whether a tomato is grown in real soil, kissed by real sun, and tended with human care, or whether it is produced under artificial light, in a pot of chemicals, with no trace of human touch or true nourishment coming from the earth.

Or wait, perhaps that metaphor doesn’t land, because some of us no longer remember the difference between a real tomato and even the most expensive today.
And I don’t just mean taste.

I am talking about vibration. The vibration of something that’s alive, something infused with the sacredness of life.

Tomatoes devoid of sacred vibration make us sick, and keep us endlessly hungry, for they lack the nourishment our bodies truly seek.

Similarly, words stripped of sacredness leave us empty, driving us to chase meaning we never quite find, starving for something deeper that remains just out of reach.

Words full of sacred vibration, on the other hand, help us remember forgotten truths, restore connection where separation once ached, summon us home to our true essence, and invite wonder back in our lives.
