where is the love? why are you being so negative?

i'm not here to convince anyone of anything... my belief is that affirmations don't work... and i don't see how that makes it an affirmation

and just because my belief is different to yours doesn't make it negative... you have simply framed it to be that way to force your argument

Actually I am enjoying my interacting with you, disconnected. The love is in my heart.

You are caught up in words. Affirmations, by the way, are not about words. They are about feeling/vibration. Everything is energy. Again, basic physics at work here.

You are entitled to your belief, of course. Remember, you were the one who came online and started a thread telling people what NOT to do, disregarding the fact that most people here OBVIOUSLY feel positive about using affirmations.

You think what you did is positive? Be real. It's all fine, though. I am sharing insights just as you are. We are equals.

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 believe "for the benefit to all" is smart marketing... unfortunately the facade is exploited for tyranny and absolutely atrocious behaviour by many preaching the whole "conscious exploration of loving action"... i'm not pointing the finger at you... simply an observation of the world... yes i believe my actions are loving and for benefit... otherwise i wouldn't bother commenting

the point is that affirmations don't work as per original post

That is a much more honest approach. Getting right to it, instead of posting exaggerated messages about a practice not working. Your initial post lacked that honesty. It was like a short rant, without deep substance.

I kept responding in this thread, so as to see more depth of what you are sharing, and I sincerely believe and feel that you have much depth to share.

I truly am loving this interaction, disconnected.

I actually agree with some of what you related to Baile. There is indeed quite a bit of dishonesty in the marketing of such things, and your bringing this to attention is something that many people in this community who may read this thread might want to consider, if they aren't very aware of this.
