In today’s episode, Live Your Word, Taj explores the transcendent nature of language and the inherent power behind the words we regularly wield. He ponders the significance of language through both evolutionary and divine scriptural lenses. Why do many list public speaking as their number one fear? Why are so many of the inspiring leaders we admire such effective communicators? Taj describes the work of Dr. Stephen Krashen and how languages and modes of thought can be  acquired through repeated and prolonged bouts of exposure. Taj asserts the merits behind continually edifying one’s language palate as it relates to the willful focus and expression of one’s consciousness. He illustrates how Mahatma Gandhi channeled his own consciousness, through his words, to affect massive, transformative change. Taj highlights the importance of nuanced discernment through the works of Aristotle, Ghazzali, and Thomas Hobbes and he examines why it may have been important for God to demonstrate Adam’s intelligence to the Angels through his ability to name the myriad objects that he beheld.
