Words as a force of nature?
Talking from the root of psychological attachment to words that can happen in obsessive people. I wonder if words can be used in such a way that the power of their meaning can seriously influence people and events around the user.
Example: Take the word "perfection" in the internal sentence, "I use the resources at hand to steer towards situational perfection" juxtaposed with "decision" in the same sentence, "using bold application of my decisions, I try to do the best I can with any given situation" These can both be powerful sentences depending on the degree to which they are believed. The person who formed the sentence, whether keeping it to themselves, writing it or speaking it, forms the meaning of the sentence overall through the use of a few key words. I only pointed out one word for each sentence as an example, but there are other words that could be the sticking points for the given psyche. A person can attach a lot more meaning to "the best I can" than to the simple "perfection". But you get what I mean? It's about an individual's spiritual literature.

If I understood you well, you were talking about using powerful words to influence one's mind? Well, slogans and famous quotes are all about that. Or you can explain that a little better if that's not what you were trying to say?
