I started on one of my rants in the comment section and halfway through - I thought, you know what.. I think this should be a post on its own.
We tend to experience topics in waves in this subreddit, the wave of the week is affirmations.
Let me just state for the record that there is nothing wrong with affirming, robotic affirming or whatever the hell you choose to do , we all have our preferences.
It would be nice, though, if people actually knew the mechanisms behind what they are doing. I know a lot people who are affirming just because they think the actual method of repeating affirmations is getting them the thing or changing something outside of them. This is not true at all.
There is noone to change BUT self. ~ Neville Goddard.
(Let just state for the record: Self.... means - changing the conception of yourself (aka how you view yourself). What are you viewing YOUR SELF experiencing? Who you assume yourself to be.
I know.. I know.. there's a whole heap of people who think "thoughts create" and that you are affirming to impress some magical subconscious.
That is NOT what is happening.
What are affirmations ACTUALLY doing?
They are a tool to direct your awareness.
Let's go back to the basics that I have talked about a LOT in here:
The life energy force that you feel running your body right now (and everything else in the world) is called your awareness ( the I AM - the god within - source and a thousand other names) It's your creative energy - it gives life to things - HENCE Life force energy.
How do we direct this life force energy onto things we want to experience in our reality?
It's always switched on 24/7 and it's being filtered through SELF.
Conception of Self. (how you are seeing yourself)
Whatever you want to experience in your reality.. You have to direct the life force energy onto YOU experiencing that thing. Whatever it may be. This is called your state of being.
Affirmations are a way of doing that.
***********************************************************************************
Going back to the comment I just wrote a moment ago. Someone wanted more communication with SP by using affirmations. I will copy and paste my answer here.
If YOU were experiencing more engaged conversation.. what would YOU be thinking and feeling about it?
Whatever YOU would be thinking and feeling IS your affirmation.
See yourself in your mind's eye talking on the phone for hours.. texting all day and night.. Whatever you want.. see yourself experiencing it. And while that was happening. you might be mentally thinking to yourself things like - I love how easy it is to talk to them, I love our conversations, I love that we text all night and day or whatever you would be naturally thinking.
YOUR thoughts FROM the wishfullied .. are the affirmations.
Affirmations are a tool to direct your focus of awareness (the energy that creates) onto the thing you want to experience more of.
Right now you are focusing that awareness onto the person being dry. When YOU keep noticing it, it will create more of it. You have to take your focus off it and put it on what you do want. (Power of Awareness)
It's not the affirmations that are manifesting. They are just helping YOU shift where you are placing your awareness (your life force energy).
**********************************************************************************
The last thing I will add is : This is WHY we harp on and on and on about "Affirmations should be about YOU". Because they are shifting how you see your SELF, not the outside world.
You can say "sp loves me" a million times. But unless you see yourself as loved.. It's not going to happen. because the outside world is just a mirror of you.
There is no one to change but self
“By persisting in the assumption that you already are the person you want to be, you rise above all doubt, fear and belief in the power of outside conditions or circumstances; and your world inevitably conforms to your assumption.”
― Neville Goddard, The Power of Awareness
“The great secret is a controlled imagination and a well-sustained attention firmly and repeatedly focused on the feeling of the wish fulfilled until it fills the mind and crowds all other ideas out of consciousness.”
― Neville, The Power of Awareness
