This is what I always wanted to know: do you HAVE TO say "cancel" (or sth similar) out loud or is it enough to THINK IT? I myself think it because I'm embarrassed to say it out loud b/c I'm afraid that people will think I'm crazy, but I know Linda said that words have to be sent out into the universe in the form of sound to be "heard". But at the same time I can't help thinking that THOUGHTS alone are enough, that your Higher Self hears you if you just think what you think (it's logical, isn't it). So I'm just a little bit confused now. Why did Linda say that you need to SAY IT?

What do you all think?

Speaking out loud sends the vibrational meaning of the word into the ethers to blend with the negative... better yet, to over - ride the negative because the positive intent adds power.

Anyhow, this is my personal belief & why I speak out loud; as an Aquarian, I don`t give a rats patooty what folks think

It gives you the opportunity to cancel what somebody else says (although this isn't as potent as deleting your own sarcasm). When my good friend, a parent, says "Ohhh, I just want to tie up my child and lock her in the closet," I say, "Cancel." Yes, she gives me that look, and yes I am being a bit of a snob by not validating her frustrations right away ... but after the look, she says what she really means. "Oh, I would never do that ... but she can be so exhausting to me." Ahh, true communication of emotions rather than hiding behind brash words. Shouldn't it always be this way?

In a different scenerio: when I say "cancel" in my mind, I would say that most of the time it's half the potency or less. It's far too easy for me to roll my eyes and mutter in my mind, "cancel." There's not always committment in the words.

Saying it aloud gives it the stamp of willpower (the power of my will .. bwa ha ha ha). And it's not like it's particularly hard.

Hmmm, lately alot of people have been commenting on how snobby I am .. and reading this post, I think they mab be right. And if any of you want to comment further, well, you can just go suck an egg!!!!!

OH.

I mean .. "Cancel."

Cool I can't wait to incorporate this "cancel" word into my life. Sounds like it could help if one has a self-defeating or fear-based thought to, just cancel that right out, nip it in the bud

I am glad to see this thread to Morgana

Juniperb,
thanks, that makes a whole lotta sense to me. I thought so myself - if you think it, to your Higher Self it's the same as if you said it, and if you say it out loud, you send it into the ethers. I just like to think sometimes that my thoughts alone are powerful enough to be sent into the ethers...

Grasshopper,
when I think it, I concentrate and really think it, it's very intentional and I incorporate all my will into this act which lasts only for a second or so, but it's none the less powerful. I don't ever do it casually because I know that if you don't give it your serious concentration, it won't work. I think that if you say it, it can also be very casual and absent-minded even. What matters is the amount of concentration you give into this.

I often say it out loud (but in other words, not "cancel") when someone is being negative or speaking badly about anything. I say sth like "god forbid" or "I hope not" or something, to negate the effect of their words, but when I'm alone, I say it out loud very rarely, only if I think that my thoughts are particularly negative or harmful.
When I do this, people often find me very boring as in being so virtuous, it sometimes bothers me, but what the heck (cancel? ), what I think is more important.

Howgh, I have spoken.
