Tongue Power

In this episode, Tombo Baldwin dives into one of the most overlooked forces shaping our lives: the power of our words.

Broadcasting from San Carlos, Mexico, Tombo explores the ancient wisdom that “life and death are in the power of the tongue.” What we say—about ourselves, about others, and about our circumstances—does far more than express our thoughts. It creates the framework of the reality we live in.

Tombo breaks down how everyday phrases like “I’m so tired,” “I’m bad at this,” or “my life sucks” can quietly reinforce negative patterns in our lives. Over time, repeated words become beliefs, and beliefs become the environment we live in. But the opposite is also true: when we intentionally speak words of life, encouragement, and possibility, we begin to reshape our internal world and the outcomes around us.

The episode explores how the tongue acts like a rudder steering a ship—a small tool capable of directing the entire course of our lives. Through humor, personal reflection, and practical examples, Tombo encourages listeners to become aware of the language they use and to consciously replace destructive phrases with life-giving ones.

He also offers a powerful practice: start by blessing yourself. Speak life over your own identity, abilities, and future. As you do, negative beliefs and old “poison agreements” begin to surface so they can be replaced with truth and freedom.

At its heart, this episode is about becoming intentional with our words—because when we change the way we speak, we change the way we live.

Your tongue can trap you… or it can set you free.

And the choice begins with the next words you speak.

00:00:25.929 --> 00:00:28.649
Hey, hey, hey, all you yuppers out there.

00:00:28.769 --> 00:00:38.370
I'm sitting in my RV and I'm looking at my little dog Birdie and she is, in her old age, she has taken up this habit of snoring.

00:00:39.049 --> 00:00:41.370
It is, it is super cute.

00:00:41.730 --> 00:00:42.710
Oh my gosh.

00:00:43.609 --> 00:00:48.490
But hey, welcome and I so, so appreciate you.

00:00:48.789 --> 00:00:57.590
Hey, great job living your best reality now as you're working through the struggles we've been talking about into living a life of meaning and purpose.

00:00:57.829 --> 00:01:03.209
That life of yours and that life includes abundance and it includes abundant provision.

00:01:03.730 --> 00:01:05.930
I'm not talking about a Teresa life.

00:01:06.049 --> 00:01:25.969
I'm talking the life that satisfies you more than you can actually know and the path to that life is peace and as you're having gratitude for the things around you and you're living in that best reality now, your best reality continues to get better and so congratulations on a job well done.

00:01:26.390 --> 00:01:29.870
Don't look at the things that you didn't get done and the places you failed.

00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:31.730
Look at what you've got done.

00:01:32.189 --> 00:02:02.950
Take that gratitude and leverage it because every time you exercise your divine hardware muscles, that is putting your logical brain aside, your brain that wants to draw immediate conclusions based on the reality that it sees, which is not necessarily that accurate reality because your reality is the best reality now and it's not necessarily the one that's spoken to you or your brain wants to draw the conclusions to.

00:02:03.150 --> 00:02:29.169
It is the reality that you feel and live in that manifests right now in the moment to moment to moment to moment and you're living that and the conclusion your brain is drawing that says, hey it'll be good when, it'll be good in the future, it's good now and it's good in the now and the now and the now and the and it's great.

00:02:29.389 --> 00:02:35.149
Don't live in the future, live in the now and you're doing it and so congratulations.

00:02:35.649 --> 00:02:39.649
Hey, I am in San Carlos, Mexico.

00:02:39.969 --> 00:02:56.949
Yeah, we're here for probably, oh I have a dentist appointment coming this Thursday where they'll work on my bottom teeth and we may hang around a little bit in case I need some adjustments, but I'm really thinking it's just going to be an awesome appointment.

00:02:57.229 --> 00:02:59.549
I can't wait to go to the dentist.

00:02:59.669 --> 00:03:01.169
It's going to be super exciting.

00:03:01.329 --> 00:03:14.829
I get to go with my daughter-in-law, Becca, which is always an amazing time and when we head home it'll be the right time and it'll be amazing, but totally enjoying our time here.

00:03:15.069 --> 00:03:33.609
I am going to enjoy getting home and using my other podcast equipment, but this podcast equipment has for the hundred bucks I spent has been amazing and I'm so grateful for it and I'm grateful for the podcast down here in San Carlos, Mexico.

00:03:34.549 --> 00:04:24.389
Today the subject we're going to talk about a fun subject and we're going to talk about the tongue and in the ancient scriptures that I like to refer to called the Bible, which you know there's many different bibles around the world and they vary in books from you know 66 to up to close to 88 or even more, but there are some common phrases about the tongue and one of them is life and death are in the power of the tongue, which is amazing and if you think about that what your tongue speaks brings life, which we like life, or death.

00:04:25.009 --> 00:04:40.149
Death to dreams, to hopes, to good things, life to dreams, to good things, to abundance.

00:04:41.230 --> 00:04:54.569
Powerful a few words written in what I believe is manifest of the divine realm instruction manual in many places.

00:04:57.410 --> 00:05:11.670
One of the other things that is in the ancient scripture says we should speak words as we're speaking the very words of God and the words of God do what?

00:05:12.569 --> 00:05:39.390
Well basically life and death, but like they're creative, they create things, there's also a passage that describes the tongue like a rudder on a ship and how it controls a large item and how it can move a large vessel and the rudder is very small.

00:05:41.860 --> 00:05:45.000
It's like a flame that can set a whole force on fire.

00:05:47.210 --> 00:06:08.069
So the tongue is amazing and I was thinking of the tongue, you guys will laugh because I often talk about sex and because I like sex and we should like sex and if you don't like sex then I don't know what to say about you, but I like it within a covenant relationship that is with my wife.

00:06:08.610 --> 00:06:34.890
I believe it is probably the purest, the greatest, the most fulfilling, the best reality now to have a sexual relationship inside a covenant relationship and you can believe what you want, but my experience has been that it's the very best and so I'm going to get a little crass here for a moment and so those of you that are maybe younger you cover your ears for a moment.

00:06:35.990 --> 00:06:56.550
You probably shouldn't be listening to the podcast because sometimes I cuss and stuff so yeah, I don't know what to say about that other than it often feels right and I'm not going to say it's wrong and I've said in the past that it's unintelligent language, but sometimes it's very appropriate language.

00:06:57.629 --> 00:06:59.550
Anyway, back to the tongue.

00:07:00.550 --> 00:07:05.230
So with our tongue we can just tear someone down.

00:07:05.610 --> 00:07:13.550
We can, you know, the old adage sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me is absolutely not true.

00:07:13.830 --> 00:07:48.110
As we've seen in our modern age words spoken online can lead people to commit suicide, to end their lives, to words can affect the outcome of a child if they're always told by their parents they're worthless and they're no for good and being surprised when they're worthless and they're no good and so especially being a parent it's critical that your words are accurate and use your tongue very appropriately.

00:07:49.030 --> 00:07:53.310
But I was thinking the tongue can tear words down.

00:07:54.310 --> 00:08:12.270
It can create a lot of problems but then I was thinking about very wonderful things that the tongue is designed to do and those of you that are married everybody's getting embarrassed but the tongue is the perfect tool for massaging the clitoris.

00:08:16.650 --> 00:31:31.130
And the wondrous amazing best reality now that can come from that action life and death are in the power of the tongue and you're laughing at me you're like that's silly and it's like but it is true the tongue is an incredibly powerful tool and is probably the most powerful tool for your best reality now and you're like Tom you think I should just start licking clitorises I think you should be in a covenant relationship if you ask me and I think you should do it as often as you possibly can and to your partner's enjoyment and willingness to participate in that yes but I use it as an analogy that the tongue is powerful and the tongue is mainly used for words but it's also involved in kissing you can use tongues in kissing and as the tongue within a kiss means a more intimate kiss that allows it to go past what a normal kiss is and say without even saying anything in words more than can be said it's almost okay one tongue goes in and the other tongue goes in and there's an agreement and things progress the tongue is also used to stick out and it can be in kids like to make fun the tongue can also stick out to be like a tease like laughing or joking the tongue is a tool and is mainly with words but it is expressive and it can express things in many different ways and we've talked about some of those but the man that can master the tongue has full control of his body and that was the reference of the rudder in the ship that comes out of the book of James that a man who can control his tongue can control his whole body and so as we're talking this best life now your tongue is a great way to gauge how you're doing your tongue expresses what's inside and when words come out and they're not the words that you want you need to go to that place of metacognition and say why why did the tongue because our tongue isn't just a random source it's that it it acts on its own accord it's controlled by the brain and that which comes out comes through the tongue and expresses itself and it's a great clue so if we're saying words that are doubt-driven binding words that bind us to things that we don't want to be bound to are critical words words of death that are speaking death into our own life and you've heard me say this and you say i'm so sick well your tongue has the power of life and death i'm so tired your tongue has the power of life and death i hate this job your tongue has the power of life and death i'm so tired of kids not taking out the trash i hate my mom my life sucks this car is always breaking down why we can't have nice things stuff like this always happens there's only one kind of luck and it's bad luck okay let me just make clear i'm not saying those words i'm using those as an example and i right now just declare that it's not my belief system those are not my words those are examples of speaking death how many of you have spoken words similar to that your tongue which is controlled by your brain by your spirit needs to be controlled by your spirit and your divine hardware because your spirit and your divine hardware access life and will speak life and your reality will be life but when it's left to how it's been trained in this culture in this world like mine has also been those are words those are phrases that have been trained into us and they're death phrases and so in your life they're death words as i'm maturing in age like getting old sucks and that is not a phrase that i identify with getting old is amazing adrian and i are entering some of the most amazing years we are having the most amazing best reality moments now i'm not agreeing with death words death words are not a part of my vocabulary what are some other phrases i'm getting sick so i bet you are i knew that would happen don't you feel special knowing that was going to happen how do you feel if you made it happen you knew it was going to happen how do you feel that you made that happen you spoke death death came okay tom that's a little heavy whoa whoa this is heavy this is it's not everything but it's a lot this is a lot do you not understand the life and death from the tongue and that our casual words maybe not the first time we've spoken maybe not the second but maybe maybe the first time maybe the second maybe the third over and over and over again oh i just can't learn that's just the way i am i'm just just have a bad temper picture right you have a bad temper you can't get rid of it there are words in our head that we believe if i get fat nobody will like me people with anorexia are just obsessed about their eating and it goes the opposite way if i get skinny men are going to be googling at me so i've got to say fat so so they won't google at me and they won't i'll feel safe and comfortable around because they'll ignore me because i'm fat death of a person there death of someone that needs to be living same way someone that's bound to food but they're skinny they're as bound to food as the fat person is because as soon as they eat something they got to go exercise they got to work out for minutes because they've created a calorie world they've created a scientific world it's by the numbers the quantum reality works different but if you bound yourself to the constructs of that world you've created that calorie world whether you have to have a lot to be fat or if you have some and you have to exercise to be skinny you've created a construct that you have to live in your words your word pictures in your mind have that same power are you getting it this this is not a joke podcast it's probably one of the most serious podcasts because you're you can't not when the scripture and i'm not telling you to be a there are other traditions that talk equally about these words and anybody that's lived any age that has any wisdom knows that this is true and even as you're listening you understand what i'm saying and you experience what i'm saying it's like if your parents and your kid falls in your first reaction oh my gosh honey you're hurt chances are your kid's gonna cry and console me and probably will be hurt if your kid which some parents say this they fall down and you always have that moment your kid looks at you and you you're like you're okay and they get up and kind of shake their things and they're like yeah i'm okay that's such a coincidence i've heard a lot of people justifying bad traits like uh just an angry person or they tout some virtue and they're just like an instant comes up and they're like well i'm not that christian i'll go take care i'll show that i don't even know what christian mean but i think it means something virtuous and people say something like that they speak death to the virtue that they proclaim there are only virtue in certain situations and virtue is a lot more than situational goes through everything i think it's supposed to life and death they're in the power of the tongue you want life you want meaning you want purpose or do you want destruction you want anarchy your words are an expression of your reality they are the creative message of your reality so how do we change our words we have to become aware of them and so just say right now with me i believe i've said this before but i am going to become aware of when i speak words of death and i will become aware of when i speak words of life and words of life will stick to me and i will create a habit of speaking words of life and as words of death come i will nullify them i will remember negative contracts i made and i will nullify them i will speak the opposite and i will bless myself one of the best ways to start dealing with words and the tongue is to start blessing yourself because it's going to feel awkward and say tom i blessed you i blessed your wisdom i blessed your love and care for people tom you're amazing tom i love you it's the best way because there are going to be words that come up and you're going to remember things you're going to be like whoa i'm just going to have to take a day off to deal with all these negative words and you're like why do negative words come up because you're filling yourself with positive words you're pushing the bad crap to the surface to the light and you get a deal with them and you get freedom we're referencing poison agreements an amazing podcast and we're going to the tongue because it is the main manifester of our reality because it speaks our inward thoughts and the tongue also when we're not authentic there's duplicity that comes out and like i was sharing with the fella that said why ain't that person i'll go deal with that person some duplicity and the best reality now doesn't like duplicity and so we will become aware when we speak to a pussy and we will make a decision what are we going to be be one way or another i'm always going to err for virtue be virtuous virtue is good and and choose that and work towards that and and change is wonderful and change is easy you can change you can change incredibly easy and you can learn to speak words of life you want life as i get older life brings so much more diverse experiences i love the experiences of getting older i cannot believe how healthy i am it is amazing i love this i use my body to the max i am amazed that i expended all my energy today and i so look forward to resting and revitalizing that my body will heal itself and revitalize itself you get to choose where you're going to live and where you're going to speak fatigue depression exhaustion aches and pains i'm not saying deny it but you're smart start crafting your words don't just succumb to the negative words to the trap words you can either have time or you can have money but you can't have both well i've got both there you go i'm either super busy or i don't got anything to do i'm productive and i have fun life is a bitch thing you die life is amazing and i'll just keep living right on into the afterlife so i'm just full of stuff and fluff you can believe that and i'll just continue living my best reality now i only share this for those that have ears to hear and if you don't have ears to hear i bless you i hope that you have ears to hear i hope that you wake up and i hope that you find the best reality now and i'm not saying bad things that you're not awake but you're not ready and that's okay if you are ready and if this is uh you're listening to me and you're hearing the phrases and the things you're oh ouch you're there you're ready come on let's do this thing together let's let's start speaking the best reality let's start dealing when the stuff comes out and it does the junk the junk comes out as we have gratitude and we start loving ourselves we start blessing ourselves we start expressing true humility by complimenting ourselves we start forcing that bad stuff out and that's an amazing time because we get to deal with it we get to nullify words and we're just like i no longer give permission we can have nice things because we are a family that can enjoy nice things and we can take care of nice things and we love nice things and we take nice things as blessings and we love blessings i am healthy and whole sickness is scaring of me it runs from me and i do not seek to catch it you can try catching it i'm not catching it it is an amazing journey life and death are in the power of tongue there's also a proverb out of the ancient scriptures that says you are trapped and snared by the words of your mouth so yeah you can be snared by your own words i mean you can be trapped and what are trapped animals usually trapped for their hides somebody something wants your hide well i'm not going to speculate on what that may be but you trapped yourself that's what that's what it says you trapped yourself how did you do that i'm so stupid well you probably made yourself stupid so i don't know that being stupid and trapped yourself you could probably fall into a pit accidentally yeah the words we say about ourselves we're so hard on i'm so stupid i'm so dumb i can't do anything right oh i blew that again i guess i can't say anything right oh they're upset with me again hey we all make mistakes but we don't say words like that wow i made a mistake but i'm a quick learner i won't do that again oh i i learned really fast things are things are easy for me i understand things easily i understand difficult things we don't get trapped when we speak to ourselves correctly we're not stared by our words when we're careless when we're flippant and when we're joking we are trapped and we're snared words are so powerful the tongue can set a whole forest ablaze but the tongue can also bless a nation and a tongue can lift up a downward spirit a tongue can bring life to a troubled soul a truck a tongue can really change things and i love the whole clitoris analogy just because those of you that have been there it just makes me laugh thinking about it because it is and i believe in a creator such a wonderful gift that probably wasn't necessary but that it is a reflection of the divine realm how much we're loved and how our very bodies are built for incredible intense pleasure bliss happiness joy uncontrollable we are built for that and part of that comes through the tongue not just through orgasms but words you could give someone a word orgasm just blast their socks out we're not talking erotic sick but we're talking orgasm in the sense of uncontrolled just wonderful how much can you bless someone how much encouragement genuine encouragement can you pour on another person using everything within you to find genuine blessings compliments to just make them feel like a thousand bucks you're like i think i can do that tom well then do it for yourself first we're more willing to do stuff for other people than we are for ourselves if you're going to become a person of media purpose you've got to take care of yourself also all right my friends i'm going to wrap it up i think you got the point and let me just end with this you are a person that is going to recognize words of life you're going to cling to it you're going to make it like your treasure you're going to have it be part of who you are and that words of death will be far from you you will recognize them you will be able to nullify it you were able to bring freedom you are the game changer and as always hey i got you
