Or to reference the bible, great work imo, "Be unto you according to thoust faith". Probably that is not exactly as written, but the scripture essentially reads- Be it unto you according to your faith Seems to speak volumes here. Disconnected states an affirmation- Affirmations don't work- often with unpolluted faith and intent and God/ the universe listens and states- According to your faith: Affirmations don't work. This is true- only because with will, faith, and intent it has been Affirmed as such. I simply let others affirm what they will. It is the ops willful affirmation after all. :hug3: |
disconnected, just cause you don't believe in affirmations doesn't mean that they won't be of help to other's. They probably don't work for you cause of the factor of you dismissing the power that lies in them.

I didn't state that affirmations have a 100% success rate, in the sense that the person will receive what they think they want. When I stated 100%, I was obviously referring and defining "affirmations" in a different manner than you, and I gave clear examples of my understanding of what affirming really is. Your idea of "success rate" is based upon what you see and hear with your eyes in a very materialistic sense, instead of a deep intuitive understanding. I stated that affirmations work by giving people a FEELING. That part you glossed over and didn't really catch. Affirming is really about creating an internal FEELING. Affirmations always work because they work in conjunction with a person's beliefs. I never said, for example, that a person who affirms, "I have a million dollars" will get their million dollars through affirming it in that manner. The person who affirms such a thing WILL receive 100% exactly what they inwardly FEEL they deserve, based upon their predominant beliefs and self-perception of themselves. THIS is how affirmations work, my friend. NOT how you highly erroneously assume they would, if true (which is how many, many people tend to assume). Your definition/understanding/perception of "affirmations" is very narrow. This is largely why you feel so disillusioned and angry about them, on a quest to tell the world, so to speak, how they "don't work." I suggest expanding your definition/understanding of what affirmations essentially are. Well, you spoke of success, let's see how successful you are in convincing people here that they "don't work," when MOST of the people who post in this forum category would tell you that they have indeed had some success with using affirmations (and this is not mere conjecture). If you actually read many of the posts in this category, this alone will show you how little your negative input about affirmations would convince anyone of your "truth" about them in this community. |

The part of that comment you seem to be struggling with has more to do with this I think: "It propels people to act and create in loving and highly beneficial ways." If you're unwilling to concede that life is meant to be a conscious exploration of loving action, for the benefit to all, then of course you will oppose any thoughts or beliefs along those lines. So this whole thread and dialogue isn't about affirmations and whether they're true. What it is, is revealing, via your own words, your intent and the actions you take, and whether they're loving and of benefit. Are they? Do you think they are? |

I didn't read a word of what you said. . .I'm looking at the sexy new picture you put up! :love8: But really I did read it, and it is full of deep heart wisdom, sister. Awesome. |

So we must have faith that affirmations work and all will be well? I'm a little confused with your statement... does God have an agenda or does the universe just let us conjure up anything we wish for... sorry i meant to say affirm. |

And your original post is all relative, my friend. What is your point with that? The ideology I gave wasn't really all warm and fuzzy. . .but yes, what I just stated there is relative. (The ideology simply says, as its basis, that people create/manifest based upon their core beliefs about themselves.) What you're doing is also a form of affirming desire/belief, and you're basically claiming not to be doing it, warning others that it is a "waste." You are also posting messages that are "all relative," yet are telling me that my post was relative. Again, what really is your point, my friend? |
