I Want That......

So, your bills are mounting, your weight is not ideal and your career is floundering?

You tell the Divine, "I need more money, I want a better car, I must have the love of my life and very soon."

So, the Divine has given you all that and you still complain?

In order to do affirmation work effectively, you must understand the language of affirmations.

Every affirmation has two parts. The part that is written or spoken and the part that quietly precedes it.

When you make a request of the Universe, the Universe goes into its "wish granting mode." 

Like a giant computer program, it prepares itself to receive the command you are about to give it. In a time before time, you helped to create it this way. 

It works like this:

You open the "Grant my wish" program. Click on the button that says, "Make a request." A window will open and you will see three words: I want that_______________.

Type in your request and hit "Send."

If you believe you have done this without a good result, then think about how those three words affect the meaning of your request.

This is the reason it is important to word your affirmations as though they have already happened.

You are not lying or pretending when you say, "I have enough money to pay all my bills and a surplus to spend for recreation" you are being very precise in your request and asking for exactly what you want.

If you say, "I want that.....I need more money." The Universe instantly grants your request. A need for more money. In fact, the Universe is so efficient, it will probably create more expenses and unpleasant financial surprises that will positively guarantee you a "need for money."

The fact that you become frustrated with the Universe over your affirmations is more proof that they work. 

You see, the program is always running. Every time you say, "I want, I need, or I desire," the Universe is listening and responding. 

If more of your words and thoughts say, "I want" then more "want" is what you shall have. The Universe will make  you more frustrated about not achieving your goals because that is what you have requested.

You are a powerful and amazing creator. Perhaps you should use your power now to create something you really want. It is just our suggestion. ~Silas

Choosing Words of Love

Words, words,words....your language has so many, and yet you apply meanings to older words and expressions that they were never meant to have.

You, then, turn a neutral word, into a bad one.

Our, "for instance" for today, is the term "politically correct." Having watched your politics, we might note that using that word in the expression was probably dooming it to fall into the "bad" category.

Words are neutral. All words. It is the thought intent you put behind them that makes them good or bad. Either way, they will manifest when repeated, so use them cautiously and immerse yourself in the best language you can.

The words, "politically correct" were designed as a way to show respect to all people of different, races, religious beliefs, physical and mental abilities and political affiliations.

When you say, "I'm tired of being 'politically correct' what you are saying is that you do not wish to show respect to those who fall into these categories. 

Not what you meant, perhaps? The words have been so watered down and overused that they have lost their meaning. 

Or do you mean you do not respect those of different religions as yours, but it's not ok to make fun of people with physical challenges. 

We would encourage you to drop these words from your vocabulary. Say what you mean. If you do not care about women's rights or the feelings of those born with Down's Syndrome then say it. 

You will not get as much respect if you do not preface it by saying, "I know it's not 'politically correct' to say this, ....." but at least you are being honest about your feelings. 

You may be prejudiced, you may be racist or sexist. Most of you are to a small degree. It is the result of your belief in separation. You lash out at those who have qualities you do not like about yourself so that you don't have to deal with resolving your own issues. That is hard work. Much easier to blame these people or those. 

When you find yourself being "anti" this or that, ask yourself what qualities of this or that, you possess and want to eliminate.

Standing behind words or spiritual or political beliefs with others who feel the same way does not absolve you of personal responsibility. When you leave this world an have to be accountable for your life, you cannot get out of it by saying, "my pastor said, or my congressman said....." When you open your mouth, or type words on your keyboard, ask yourself, "Are my words helpful and kind, or mean spirited and self-serving?"

One day, when you have to defend them, you will find yourself standing alone. Will you still be as bold?
 
When you find yourself being a "pro" instead of an "anti" you will have a lot more peace in your life and feel good about who you are and what you stand for.~Silas

Your Reality Belongs to You

It can be hard to always keep a positive attitude. You want to visualize the best possible outcome, but those around you are telling you it’s just not likely or not possible.

When this happens, keep smiling. Honor the resistance and know that if you feel affected by it, there is some block or negative place within your consciousness that needs to be moved.

Think about what was said. Why did it bother you?

If you are constantly complaining that those around you are negative, look within. If you are noticing and feeling, then there is something inside of you that believes it to be true.

Take the feeling inward. Try to locate it. Don’t fear it, you are not bringing it to life, you are cleaning it out and releasing it.

Does it stem from a childhood fear? An early work experience? Something said to you by an authority figure you trusted?

That is their reality. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to make it yours.

Release what you don’t want, think about what you do want. Enjoy the feeling as you would a gourmet meal.

Feel all of the grandness of the experience. Touch it, smell it, taste it! Walk around behaving as you would if you already had it. 

What kind of posture would you assume? What attitude would you have? How would you feel when you walked into a room full of people, knowing that you are living your dream?

Do this daily. Remind yourself often. 

Do not let the realities of others invade yours.

Let them enjoy their dramas. Perhaps they like a good challenge. Don’t judge, just thank them silently, for the information they have given you about yourself. 

Use it to create the life of your dreams. Then if they ask, you can share your reality with them.
