Dear GOD! What's happening to us? (Page 3 of 3)

There was some talk about giving positive affirmations just once.  But, do negative forces affirm their negativity just once?  No, whether they originate within or without,  they never accept defeat... always probing the weakest link in consciousness... again and again.

In order to get the full benefit from positive affirmations you need to give them 'religiously'.   A daily ritual if you like.  Popeye ate spinach every day to defeat Brutus.  When Brutus turned up to give him a whoopin',  Popeye opened his mouth and poured the spinach in.  Even when Brutus seemed to have him licked and Popeye was on the brink of disaster the can opened and the spinach made it's way into Popeye's open mouth... even defying gravity sometimes to renew Popeye's strength.  If you don't like spinach try opening your mouth and giving positive spoken affirmations to defeat the negative forces in your inner and outer world.  Experiment with using them daily, not just once.  Like Brutus, the dark forces in the astral plane, and within self, can mount a new thrust against our best intentions at any time.  This is something that is definately sensed as some level of anxiety, depression, spiritual and physical lethargy, sadness and a sense of frustration and unfulfillment.  Everything that Brutus tried to bring upon Popeye comes upon us as we cycle through our karmic and astrological cycles.

A wise philosopher once said:  "The wise man governs his stars"  ... ie... by the science of the spoken word.   We are not meant to be governed by lower forces [inner or outer] ... [psychological or astrological] ... [economic, religious or political]

So...

A corresponding thrust of one's inner forces must be the answer to the negative forces and our inner thrust is most effective when it comes from the power center.... which is the throat chakra.  Given daily,  the repetition of positive affirmations in the power of the spoken word is the key to building a victory consciousness over a consciousness of defeat.   This is exactly the power behind the science of mantra as it has been practiced for millenia.  Some people 'can' this sort of thing calling it new age clap trap... or old age mind control.  But it's not at all.  We know even from the work of Masaro Emoto and his water crystals that sound is a powerful creative force.  This has been known for aeons and practiced 'forever' east and west. 

It is a liberating power because the spoken word can unlock the spiritual force of the "lost word" within.  The "lost word" is the christ consciousness which is the spiritual Self.  That self is depicted as the conqueror on a white horse in the Book of Revelation.  And out of the mouth of the rider proceeds a sword.  An S- word.  A sacred word.  It is sacred because it is spoken by the inner warrior... the christ Self.  THAT is the creative power to defeat all the enemies in the subconscious arrayed against the soul... anxiety, depression, hopelessness, anger, greed, hatred...

It is also written in the Book of Revelation that  "whosoever would harm the Two Witnesses, fire proceeds out of their mouths to consume their enemies"   This is another reference to the power of the spoken word when aligned with the inner Self with divine intention.

Falvion, I'm so glad the thead came up at the right time for you and that you had such an interesting experience reading them.   I had odd experiences of energy coursing through my body for a few hours after reading the affirmations.  I had had some energy movement sensations before but this was unique.   A few weeks later I read them a second time as I was feeling uneasy, but there was no energetic sensation drama that time.

Nexus, what I got from reading the book was making the statements was like ripping up a contract one had signed so that's why you only had to say it one time, apparently (hopefully?) once you rip it up it stays ripped up.   I found what you wrote of the power of the word and throat chakra inspiring as well....
