Who Really Chooses the Words We Speak?

May 23, 2026 · 21 min

In this episode, we’ll explore how speech happens. What is the process behind speaking? Who Really Chooses the Words We Speak? 

Because speaking comes so naturally to us, we rarely give it much thought. Yet, as we will see, the process of speech is remarkably complex and is guided and managed by intelligence in the mind. 

One of the most striking insights is that we do not consciously decide every word we speak; rather, the intelligence in the mind makes those choices. We will see that this intelligence is a gift from Awareness to the mind.  We—or the ego—serve mainly as the gatekeeper.

We look forward to hear back from you!
