#41: Why Every Word You Speak Carries Weight

The Hologram, the Gram, and the I Am

In this episode, I explore how words carry weight, how programs can shape the stories you tell, and why awareness is the key to reclaiming your true voice. If you’ve ever wondered why repeating affirmations doesn’t always bring change or how to shift the hidden patterns behind your words, this conversation is for you.

We often think of affirmations or “I Am” statements as quick fixes for change. But the truth is deeper. Every word you speak is more than just sound; it’s a mark, a gram, that shapes your identity and leaves an impression on your being.

Words as Marks and Measures

The word "gram" comes from the Greek grámma, meaning a mark, a letter, or a record. To mark something is to give it shape. To weigh something is to give it value. Every word you speak carries both.

When you say “I am tired,” “I am broken,” or “I am enough,” you’re not just describing a state. You’re inscribing meaning into your hologram, the complete record of your being. That meaning becomes weight, a frequency that shapes how you experience your life.

The Program Before the Meaning

Here’s the catch: many of the words we carry weren’t chosen by us. They were handed down through family, culture, algorithms, and the very act of survival itself. Trauma and conditioning cloud our field and plant beliefs before we ever have the chance to discern for ourselves.

So, when you say “I am,” what follows may not come from your essence at all. It may be the program speaking. That’s why affirmations sometimes feel empty: repeating “I am whole” while carrying the belief “I am broken” only reinforces the old mark.

Choosing Presence Over Program

Every “I Am” is a bridge. The question is: who is the “I” that’s crossing? Presence, your essence, your wholeness, or ego and inherited program?

When you slow down, you begin to notice:

• Which words feel heavy because they were never yours.

• Which words open you to possibility and align with your being.

• Which “I Am” statements solidify old patterns, and which ones invite new creation.

Awareness is where the shift begins.

Reflection for You

What’s one word you’ve been carrying that feels heavy, and what would change if you gave it a different weight?
