PREFACE You will find in this book the practical point of view of the law of “creating thoughts”, of how to handle the power of thoughts, as I have experienced it during a quarter of a century now. That approach has proven to yield awards, looking back, amazing awards even. In view of efficiency I wish to share my approach without much scientific basis, without having to refer to the theories on which it is based. That is why I am confining myself to what I consider essential. The key issue is that the people applying this, will create a certainty for themselves, the certainty that it works.

This is not about my selection of literature – that is why there is no bibliography included – but about my own experience. That is why this book is not just another copy of the books being published at a high pace. The thought that what really helped me, could be useful to others, urged me to write this book.

Since I wanted it to be a true-life book, I wrote it from memory and the “affirmations” mentioned in chapter III, which I partially apply, have already proven their effectiveness. They already exist for quite a long time, but they are still of much use. I have added some affirmations so that they can be used across many areas. When writing this book I found it quite difficult not to consult the books on power of thoughts I started to buy ever since 1979, first because I was interested and from 1983 onward because I used them as a source of inspiration.

However, I have made some references, for instance to the work of E. COUE or to the card scheme drawn up by Shirley Mc Laine; in chapter III there are also some affirmations, which have at the time been selected and adapted from the books of Joseph Murphy, Louise Hay or Florence Scovell Shinn, drawn from their enormous practical experience. I am very grateful to

6

Michael Losier for explaining in a practical way something that remained a big question mark, in his book “Law of Attraction”.

But that made it all go faster and I felt quite comfortable about it being so authentic. Even if it is all about age-old truths.

It was already written in what is usually called to be the World’s most read book: “Your Word is Law””.

So many have described it : “Nous aurons le destin que nous aurons mérité” (Albert Einstein).

I. PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES 1. The process of creation by guiding the power of thoughts: affirmations 1.1. Description of power of thoughts and affirmations Affirmations are among the most powerful instruments given to us to master our lives. There is no wish inside us that cannot be realized. An “affirmation�, as it is used in this book, is a consciously chosen and continuously repeated expression of a wish. This book describes the way to do this and the results yielded from it.

1.1.1. Thoughts are creative is a Law of Nature Thoughts are creative: this is a Law of Nature, as is gravity or as it the principle that seeds, when planted, produce plants. The complete Universe is energy. We have at our disposal an unlimited field of energy, which gives us what we want it to give us thanks to our power of thoughts. The Power of thought concentrates this energy.

Nothing is lost, nothing is added, only the appearance changes. Thoughts are energy, energy always has a destination in the Universe; energy does not disappear into nothingness. So it is a fact that each thought has its effect. On your own life and on the lives of others/all the others.

But in any case it always has an effect on you. This effect is not linked to time nor space.

We are all constantly thinking; it needs a lot of practice to be able to think about nothing for a couple o minutes. Most people do not pay attention to whether or to what they are thinking, they certainly are not aware of whether these thoughts are

8

positive or negative. It has to be stressed that it is characteristic of thoughts that they materialize, that they work, whether we want it or not. Being conscious of this fact means that we can guide thoughts and being conscious of this fact as much as possible is the key to controlling the events. This law apply both to the individual and the collective level. The collective level refers to thoughts present in the mind of individuals of a nation or even of the whole world. These can be thoughts about war, about the origin of certain illnesses, but it can also be about an increasing awareness. The future of a country is already present in the collective subconscious. The collective mind will be discussed later on in this book.

1.1.2. Thoughts are acting from the subconscious We have a consciousness, which allows us to think, but we also have a subconscious where all thoughts are being saved. It has an infallible memory and it accepts what it is told without protesting. It controls the functions of our bodies, but also our actions. When there is a conflict between our will and our subconscious, the latter conquers.

Just like a computer our subconscious has a certain saving pattern. Similar thoughts which are being thought, expressed or written down will – when repeated - become fixed in our subconscious, which is in fact our hard disk. From there they act autonomously, even when we are not aware of this. They act upon our environment since the others unconsciously catch these thoughts and act according to them, unless they want to realize other things through their own chosen thoughts. These have priority because the own mind has its free will and this will is of course more powerful in the own mind.

Saving these thoughts is done in clusters, in patterns of thoughts. Thoughts of a certain theme, a certain event, a certain emotion will attract each other and will bundle up. That makes them stronger and they can act better on what they represent. When there are many thoughts about the same subject, these become concentrated around that subject forming a hard core. This core can be fed with many or only negative thoughts or by many or only positive thoughts or by

9

thoughts of both kinds. Whether it is a positive or a negative core thus depends on which kind of thoughts prevails.

When it is a negative core and when it gained a fixed form, it will start to attract its equivalents, this means the negative things integrated in it. The same happens with a positive core.

As a core of thoughts is being formed, it becomes more and more powerful and able to realize clearly and firmly what it represents, in accordance with the thought with which it was built.

All thoughts that were once saved remain there until we decide to erase them and that is why they can be seen by others. Thoughts always materialize, do not forget that, unless we intentionally decide to change them.

1.1.3. Thoughts create their equivalents in the material world It is a Law of Nature that, as we said before, that each thought is a form of energy, each thought will provoke a corresponding reaction in the material world, meaning in the world of our sensory perceptions. It is a fact that a positive core of thoughts can never provoke a negative reaction in the real world and vice versa. Thoughts or cores of thoughts always manifest themselves, however, one does not know when this will happen as we do not have a clear idea of the intensity of the core of thoughts versus the totality of our subconscious on the one hand and the factors influenced by the thoughts in the material world on the other hand, either in relation to the human being or to the circumstances in which the thoughts are being materialized.

The more a group of thoughts is fed with ideas, the stronger it becomes. Each new idea is like hammering a nail down and fixing it.

10

1.1.4. There are two fundamental thoughts There are in fact only two fundamental thoughts: fear and love. All the other thoughts can be traced back to those two thoughts. It can be quite illuminating to discover the real origin of our and other people’s thoughts. When the fundamental thought is fear as it is for jealousy, anger, resentment, arrogance, etc. and when we recognize this fundamental thought in someone else, this helps us to realize that the other one in fact only expresses his own fears and that e.g. his outburst of anger is based on the fear of not having (not having love), not being (not being loved) and that it is not anger as such. When we are afraid, there is no love at that moment and vice versa.

Fear cannot be banned by fear, but by a loving approach.

Loving in the broadest sense of the word, since it is impossible to ask us to love someone we do not love. However it is at that moment possible to try to achieve a situation of rest, for instance by sending the thought: “I wish you harmony and wellness in any area”. When even that is too much, and this is perfectly possible, one can then send a thought such as: “I bless you and set you free” or still “We leave each other’s lives in harmony or we are both free”.

1.1.5. Love is always more powerful Love is more powerful than fear as the vibrations number is higher. We can opt for it at any time, it is our choice.

Consequently, thoughts borne by love have a stronger power of realization. These thoughts correspond to the truth of our existence. They offer protection.

11

1.2. Phrasing 1.2.1. The importance of the personal pronoun The affirmation which in principle only refers to yourself has to be expressed in the first person. The phrasing “I am... (followed by whatever you wish”) is commonly considered as very powerful. Using your own name in an affirmation is also very good. You can do that when erasing a condition, so when you created for yourself a truth, which you want to erase from your subconscious (see “underlying patterns” below), it is very effective to make the affirmation using the three personal pronouns and to mention the first names: I, X, are …; you, X, are.. ; she, X, is…. This way of making affirmations, as if you are talking about someone else, is also advisable when you have some doubts about your affirmation.

Phrasing an affirmation can also be done for someone else, however, when the wish only concerns that one person, you cannot do this without his consent. When the wish concerns one or more persons, for instance you and your partner, the wish always has to be phrased in a positive way and without harming what you know or think to know about your partner’s wishes. An innocent and very simple example: your partner wants to visit a friend and you do not want this, then you would go against his wish when you express your wish. To solve this conflict you can then use a phrasing ending with the following consideration “this is done according to the cosmic harmony; when the wish is good, it will be materialized, when not, it will now be cancelled” or “this is what I wish and I leave it to the cosmos”.

1.2.2. The importance of the present tense A wish has to be expressed in the present tense; a wish in the future tense will be interpreted by the subconscious as if we want it to be far away from us in time. So that will happen. The Law of creativity is very precise. A wish can only be materialized when it is felt and experienced now, at this very moment, because in the energy flow of the Universe between the mental creation and the material creation there is no difference and

12

there cannot be any difference: thinking and observation must not be anything else but identical.

material

However, it can be that because the wish is expressed in the present (now) and the fact that “now” indicates that the wish has not been realized yet, gives us a negative feeling, namely that we are fooling ourselves. When you feel like that, use for your phrasing point 1.3., which handles about the way you can express your wish.

In other words, the phrasing has to express the desired result as an accomplished result: “you are” and not “you will be”.

1.2.3. The importance of accuracy and dimension Your wish has to be : - As accurate as possible, each word has to be chosen carefully and all nuances you find in them have to be considered; the more accurate, the better - As short, as concise as possible; the pithier the affirmation is, the better it is; then it takes less time to repeat it

- It is advisable not to phrase it as a plea since the tone of it is not “affirmative” enough.

1.2.4. The importance of positivity It certainly has to be stressed that the affirmation has to be phrased in a positive way; as a rule it cannot contain any negations. Eliminate words such as “not”, “no”, words with a negative connotation or words which make you feel bad, such as “angry, sad”. It is better to replace the formulation “X does no longer make me sad” by “From now on it is fine to experience that X always makes me happier”. Whenever you affirm something, your feelings react to the words you express.

13

So do not make the affirmations “I do no longer want (this or that).”

Make the affirmation: “I speak frankly”.

Always reverse the negativity: do not talk about “no pain/fear or whichever problem you have” but formulate the positive equivalent.

When you conclude your affirmation with the words “I trust it will happen” or start with “I believe that”, it is a very efficient and positive approach.

You give a lot of materializing force to your affirmation when you start with “I love it that…”.

The subconscious takes everything literally “at heart” and it also wants to materialize the words that are negative since it cannot distinguish between what we do not want or what we want and it only listens to the order as it is given. You can also compare this part with a computer. In that sense such a processing unit is easier to control since the computer, when a wrong command is given, will not react or give an unwanted result, while the input in our subconscious does not give a (direct) evident result since it needs some time to manifest itself.

1.2.5. Last but not least : the importance of the “Golden Rule” Your wish has to answer to the “golden rule”, which means that you cannot wish something for somebody else which you do not wish for yourself, so the wish must no harm anyone. A wish like that will materialize as well, but it will have a boomerang effect, it will harm something or someone very close to you. Hatred or revenge are not solved by that, but by sending the person or the circumstance peace and harmony, by setting them free and by redirecting your thoughts after having sent that. In that way you yourself will find more peace and harmony. You are what you think and when you think negative about something or someone, this will surely show in your own life. So you also hurt yourself when you think bad about someone else.

14

1.3. Method for phrasing affirmations 1.3.1. Think about what you want This is a very important item. You must first decide what you want exactly. Not what someone else wishes, no compromise between existing situations, but what you wish, deep in your heart. When you have doubts, when your wish is vague, continue to think about it until you are sure about what you really want and about the – at least a minimum - of feasibility of it. Then the phrasing of your affirmation will be more convincing.

You can also determine what you want instead of what you have and so define an unwanted situation, which you can then change in its opposite, namely a wanted situation. It can be for instance, that you feel you are being neglected in your relationship because your partner does not take into account what you want. You can then define precisely what it is and write down the opposite concept, something you do want.

Refer also to the chapter on “underlying patterns”.

You can aim high, even very high, but your wish should remain realistic, not something of which your are quite sure that it is impossible to realize. In general you yourself can establish whether it is a real wish for you. Still you have to try to discover whether this wish is of any use for your personal development. The wish can be situated in any area. You do not have to be afraid to wish something situated in the material area.

Do not talk about what this wish could be precisely unless that person wishes you all the best and has a very positive attitude (that means that you very rarely can talk about your wishes before their realization).

Wishes can sometimes be used as a cover to get out of a certain situation or they can hide a lack of love or be a compensation for something that you do not have and that can

15

be more fundamental. It is necessary that you should think thoroughly about this phase. Do not be afraid of what you might discover and of the real problem. Imagine that you have accomplished your wish: does this make you happy? Does it make you feel good? Is the motive behind it really good? Is it something that is really yours? We must answer the question whether something feels good for us, only for us and we are the only ones that can give an answer. Even if objective experts already have given us an answer. There is no absolute expertise in the field of other people’s wishes. Nothing is impossible if it feels good for us.

Do not ask for something that is not specific : if you wish to have more wealth, then do not ask for a highly paid job, but ask for what you truly want. If you want to travel, do not ask for the money to go on a trip, but as for the trip itself. It could be that even if your wish for money is materialized, all kinds of obstacles prevent you from making the trip.

1.3.2. Forget what the others want When expressing your wish forget for once totally that one has to be altruistic, that you do not have the right to wish exclusively what you want. Do not take the wishes of other people into account. Just consider the following important condition that your wish must not harm anyone to any extent.

Consequently you do not have to ask the permission of somebody else, do not ask what he thinks about it, only ask yourself about it. Your deepest self. You know for certain what can be harmful for others, so you yourself are perfectly able, in all openness, to determine what you can “stand up for” by means of affirmations.

1.3.3. Eliminate what does not feel right When thinking about what it is you really want and writing it down in order to create the affirmation form, it can be that you write something down that goes against your feelings. When a wish does not feel right, then leave it. Feelings are a very good standard to determine whether a wish is good for you or not. Reasoning alone is not sufficient, because you Discover the powerful " Theta Frequency Based Program " which can manifest spendable cash for you within 24 hours !!

need to link it to the feeling you need in order to realize your wish as soon as possible. So you have to be happy when you see what you have written down. So happy that you shout with happiness when you image that your wish will accomplished.

When this is the case, then it is alright.

Feelings are also a good standard to measure the energy of an affirmation. When you wish to be slim and use the affirmation : “I am now slim” while you are looking unhappily in the mirror thinking that you are not slim at all, that will make you feel bad when expressing your affirmation. The energy to materialize the affirmation will not be very high or even negative, in other words it could even give you more of what you do not want.

This is because your conviction conquers.

That is why it is important to redirect when you are not feeling so good, either by eliminating the underlying patterns, the negative convictions, either by persuading and convincing yourself of the fact that what you wish has already become true so many times for other people, by imagining your own affirmation and possibly by making an index card (see the 21 days index card below).

1.3.4. Reverse doubts In the process of writing down it can happen that you are expressing your wish, but that at that moment the following thoughts pop up: - Do I deserve this?

- Is it realistic ?

- I do not have enough talent for that - I am too old for that - I do not have enough time for that - Shall I still be loved when I have this or when I am that?

- Won’t I lose it right away ?

And so on. Thoughts occurring to you when phrasing your own wish are connected to the way you see things. Possibly without you being aware about it. They show you the point you need to “work on”. These inner resistances are good standards to learn about the way you feel about yourself, your self-

17

respect. Eliminating those resistances is a process that may be more important than materializing your wish. They are in any case a tremendous improvement. They show you what you need to clean up on your way to developing your wish, in other words, yourself. As we have seen before, your wish is a part of you. It is the guide to the more complete person you can become. The perfectness within your reach. Otherwise, I want to repeat it, you would never have that desire. It would not have been put inside you. Wishes are not arbitrarily put into someone’s heart, but only if they are meant for that specific heart.

How to do the cleaning up ? Writing an affirmation expressing the opposite of the “thought of resistance”. For instance when you have doubts about whether you deserve it: “I deserve (e.g. to be love or to earn X Euros)”. Or when you wonder whether you can still do this on your age: “Age does not matter, now is the right moment. Or in order to erase a feeling of uncertainty: “I always feel peaceful and calm”.

When such an affirmation provokes another thought of resistance, in for instance the example mentioned above “I always feel peaceful and calm” and you suddenly think “except when X says something specific or when he gets angry”, you have to change this into something positive for yourself: “I feel peaceful and calm also when X says this or that”.

So, at the beginning you can, along with the new and chosen affirmation, also write down the opposite of the convictions hindering the accomplishment of your wish. Maybe you can put right opposite each other. This may lead to another “cleaning up process”. So leave enough place to write down new fears or emotions. Then you have to make new affirmations expressing the opposite of these fears, emotions, negative considerations.

These “provoked” affirmations have to be made until these opposite thoughts stop popping up, until you are completely at ease with the new positive thoughts about your wish. So that you no longer stand in the way of your wish. Underlying patterns of thoughts can be very deep.

18

It goes without saying that when you are expressing an affirmation without thoughts of resistance occurring, you can go on with it. Then you have to feel that what is in your affirmation can become true, even more, already is true for you and as we have seen before it important that you feel good when expressing your wish. In that way you can really believe in it.

So in the hypothesis mentioned above, the doubt or scepticism arising is a reflexion of what is in our subconscious.

Doubt based on a lack of believe in one’s own possibilities, due to situations in the past or to comparing oneself with others instead of responding to your own unique self. So listen to your own unique being, formed by your own unique abilities and skills, by the completely unique form of energy of it.

So when your subconscious “protests” when you express a wish, phrasing the affirmation is not enough. After all, we are always the sum of all thoughts saved at some time and these continue to produce their effects. So, there should not be any contradiction between what you phrase as a wish and what you think might happen. In that case you do not believe strongly enough and it could have an opposite effect. As we have seen before, opposite convictions neutralize each other and the strongest conviction always conquers.

On the other hand, doubts which are in fact the nonconformity between consciousness and subconscious, can have an opposite effect as well, which is in fact in line with what we said in the previous section. It can be that what you feel, that your subconscious, your intuition tells you that it is best not to take that new job, but another one. Still you have doubts because you think about prestige, wages, etc. Your conscious mind tells you that it not reasonable not to choose the well-paid job as from the objective point of view, that job will give you many advantages. When you do not choose the job in accordance with your feelings and intuitions because your reason tells you that the other one is much better, this would do your own deep wish much wrong.

It is also a fact, even if that appears impossible at that moment, that allowing that incredible opportunity to pass, may create possibilities for an even better bargain. You remain true to yourself. You being conscious of that allows you to realize your wishes faster.

1.3.5. Make changes whenever necessary : when your wish changes So your phrasing always has to be identical in order to anchor a strictly defined image in your subconscious. Thoughts that are being expressed in one and then in another way, will lead to a vague equivalent of which the materialization will of course take longer or show the same vague pattern. When you give your computer contradictory commands, it will crash at some point.

However, you shouldn’t be too strict. Nothing stagnates. When you have already strictly and consciously defined and phrased your wish, but quite some time ago, you may feel that it is necessary to adjust your wish since it has changed and then you should do that. Thoughts in all serenity, yes, obsessive thoughts, no. Your wish should at any time correspond, very precisely, with what you desire in that specific phase of your existence.

That is why it is extremely important to know well in advance what you want. However, do not change it too often or this will confuse your subconscious.

However, when you notice that what you affirm or visualizes no longer corresponds with what you wish to obtain, accept this change in your desires and change, or more radically, drop that wish. Be grateful that you became aware of it in time. In that way you can distinguish the real from the fictitious wishes.

It can also happen that certain circumstances put your affirmation to the test, for instance when we make an affirmation to get more inner peace. In that way the affirmation can maybe be strengthened or refined. What is important is being able to recognize what hampers your affirmation. It is also a fact that the more skilled you become in this process, the

20

deeper and the quicker one is “put to the test”, namely circumstances occur which we have to ignore in order to remain focussed on what we desire. Our skills in pursuing the faith in what we affirm will thus evolve.

1.4. Discipline when pursuing the affirmations 1.4.1. Each day - moment : recommended in the morning and in the evening At these moments the “distance” between our consciousness and our subconscious is smaller and it is easier for thoughts to penetrate into the subconscious.

This is about the so-called alpha zone, where the right half of the brain is involved. The right hemisphere can also be reached by meditation, autogenous training methods or by other methods and is also addressed in the phase between sleeping and awaking.

Making affirmations while you are quiet is also much more efficient.

- Do not skip making affirmations during the first 21 days, unless the wish has already been materialized, of course As I recall, Shirly Mc Laine argued that it is a scientifically proven fact that our subconscious needs maximum 21 days to absorb a thought and to save it in the subconscious (refer to chapter III, the scheme). In my own experiences, sometimes affirmations were materialized within a couple of seconds and sometimes it took two and a half years. However, it is my opinion that this has been modified slightly due to the increased vibrations number of the Earth : a couple of decennia ago, the materializing power of affirmations was not the same as it is now. We live in a time where wishes are materializing faster and faster.

21

1.4.2. Do not pay attention to situations which do not correspond with your affirmation It is also important that in order to solve a problem, one does not have any feelings of revenge or hatred or another negative emotion. One should pretend not see what one sees and try to avoid any vibration that is not positive. It is no use trying to ignore the fact that one bears hatred, because then you confirm this hatred. Hatred is a force just like love is: one is attracted to whom or to what one hates. It can help to remind oneself that the principle of harmony is always active and that it cannot be stopped by anything, except by ourselves when we have different thoughts.

Not seeing in your mind’s eye what your senses observe is one of the hardest things to do. You have to deny, but without resistance, whatever is contrary to your wish. When someone is hostile to you, then in your mind you see a friendly person.

When your living conditions are poor, you see wealthier conditions in your mind. As long as you allow yourself to be stopped by clinging to the reality you see and which you deem to be impossible to change, you take away your affirmation’s force. Give it new power by deleting all negative thoughts ever again, until they stop popping up and replace them with your own wishes.

1.4.3. Be persistent until you achieve the materialization, for years if need be I never stopped affirming once I had started. It would not have been possible. You choose whether you do something or not and then you have to persevere. This is essential. When you go for it, when you believe in it and by consequence, when you know that only time remains between your wish and its materialization, you keep approaching its materialization, in full faith that your wish will come true.

Furthermore, you have to keep making affirmations to avoid that one relapses into the old mental patterns.

22

This point is where many people fail: they do not persist. The affirmations have to be repeated, every day – at least during the first period (3 weeks) – until they are materialized. This can take three hours, three days or even three years. But they always materialize, at least they always have some kind of effect. Most people repeat the affirmations for a short period of time and then they fail to do so, or they only do it once in a while or they skip days. But the system does not work like that.

Only enthusiasm drives you. Do not consider affirmation to be a tough job. Do not try to force things, this will slow you down.

Some of my most important affirmation have taken months or even years. But they came true, every detail of it. Literally.

Totally, even when they covered a whole page. Or even those sometimes linked to another affirmation.

You can choose a certain moment of the day to write down your affirmations. I for instance wrote them down when I opened my laptop in the morning on the train. It was a kind of routine. A start of the day. It becomes a real habit so that you do not have to think about it, you just start writing down your affirmations. The only thing I saved on when I had a loaded timetable was the number of times I wrote. But never on regularity.

Making a special computer file for it, has the advantage that the affirmation can be rewritten in the same way and that you can protect it by password so that nobody else can read your affirmations. When you write it on paper, be sure to hold on to the different papers.

As we have said before, it is better that no one notices the fact that you are making affirmations and their nature. Only people who think exactly the same way. In other cases: the more reticent you are, the greater the power of the affirmations.

Even if one is sure that he will persevere, suggestions of other people and especially of people playing an important role in our lives are not entirely without risk.

We can ask ourselves whether we have to continue or whether we can stop after 21 days and “release” the affirmation and leave it to the law of attraction.

23

I always continued making affirmations until my wish materialized or at least a part of it. I think that Ernest Holmes already described at the beginning of the previous century how a bond was being made between the wish and the thought, a bond stronger than iron, which became stronger with each confirmation, thus bringing the wish more and more within reach. That convinced me to keep on making affirmations, once I had started to do so.

In theory it is possible that one affirmation is enough to materialize the wish. But then our faith has to be extremely pure and strong and it should not be hampered by anything. I, however, think that the current “constellation” of our subconscious does not work like that and that underlying patterns can be present.

Letting go of something sometimes appears in literature and the Universe will realize what we entrust it with, in full confidence about its result. I for instance have a couple of examples of my own (in my case it were some secondary wishes, which means that there was only little or no resistance against them) – but the materialization will be slower when affirmations are not constantly made.

Additionally the normal pattern of thoughts will in the meanwhile (after the wish has been released), continue and daily thoughts will be added, which means that what has been “sent” can be eroded. Continuing to make affirmations will retrieve the existing or additional patterns of resistance so that these are visible and can be eliminated by making affirmations until these thoughts stop popping up. It is a fact that the wish comes true when nothing hampers its materialization.

1.4.4. Keeping affirmations for yourself Do not mention your wish or the way you want to achieve it to others unless they wish you the best and do not oppose to your affirmations. It is possible that someone really wants your wish to come true but that he in fact does not have faith in the method you are using. By interference of minds, he can transfer his doubts to you slowing down the outcome of

24

your wish. You are the only thinker in your mind but the less resistance, the better.

Suppose that you want more revenue, but your partner is convinced that wealth is not meant to be for you. He or she of course wants to have more financial resources, but inside he or she is convinced that it is impossible. Then it is harder for you to manifest the contrary, as you have to overcome the negativity of your partner. People living together have closely related auras. Unwillingly we capture and absorb thoughts of other people. So this means that you have to take that obstacle.

But, on the other hand it can also prove to be useful. When this is not the case, talking about it can be an additional obstacle. It is also true that the more you keep a wish for yourself, the bigger the energy load. By talking about it, the wish is being “demagnetized�. The force of materialization spreads. So concentrate your forces and keep your wishes to yourself, even if this proves to be difficult. Once your wish has become true, it is also advisable not to talk about it as the result is then visible.

1.4.5. Minimum number of times the affirmation has to be used Twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, that is the minimum. Changes are made faster when your make more affirmations. It would not have to be like that should we have absolute faith. Then one affirmation would do. It is my experience that 30 times a day always gives result. But half of it is fine as well when it feels right considering your time schedule.

Some even recommend x 30 times a day. The more, the better of course, but you have to be able to keep that pace up.

1.5. Interference with the collective mind when making affirmations 1.5.1. What is the collective mind?

We have already mentioned that people living together influence each other’s minds through their subconscious. They Discover the powerful " Theta Frequency Based Program " which can manifest spendable cash for you within 24 hours !!

25

have common goals and make each other stronger. But as said before sometimes their convictions about these goals may differ. In the same way, they are a group of persons constituted by country borders or by a common goal, urged by the same convictions. They thus make each other many times stronger.

These convictions can be positive.

But maybe they are not. Why are we subject to a process in which our physical body does not keep its normal form? Why are animals subject to the same process? Why is it possible that a group of people suffers in the same period the same kind of health problems?

People take some collective opinions as being true, for example that colds are caused by draught. They then become collective convictions, of all kinds due to the fact that a massive number of people believes them. They are very strong. So strong that repetitive personal affirmations are necessary in order not to succumb to them.

1.5.2. How can we protect ourselves ?

We can protect ourselves with a general affirmation of protection or with a specific affirmation. For example in a group, when everyone has a cold, one individual can escape from that cold when he is convinced that he is not liable to colds. There are many examples to protect oneself writing the corresponding affirmations. They can be connected to those fears against which you are not protected, according to you.

Refer to the last part.

1.5.3. The affirmation can also be used for collectivity As the subconscious of all individuals are connected, there is a kind of collective and universal subconscious linking all parallel thoughts. There is a constant manipulation. Thoughts of peace, joy and kindness have their effects. No thought goes back to its creator without having had its effect. Energy going unfailingly to its destination. Thoughts of harmony for all people always have a positive effect, thanks to interference.

26

As a person with kind thoughts has at that moment a stronger energy flow than someone with negative thoughts, the persons with harmonious thoughts already has a certain protection against negativity. It is only when he goes along with a thought opposed to love, that this thought can be strengthened by the negativity sent by people on the same wavelength. At that moment it can seem hard to get back on ones feet, away from sadness and fears.

But as we said before: a thought comes before the feeling and by thinking about something else, for instance a pleasant event, a wish, positive things in general, the negative feeling can make room for a better mood.

1.5.4. An individual’s wish, providing that it corresponds to the universal principles of love, kindness and peace, is favourable to us all The Universe and everything being part of it seem to be a combination of precisely tuned wishes. A wish stimulating your own growth, also stimulates the whole. There is no competition. To be aware of this, can create a deep serenity where isolating egocentricity does not exist. It is not like that there is not enough for everyone. There is plenty, so that everything can be materialized by mental power. Wishes come to us when we have the power to materialize them. They do not come to someone else in the same way. Being convinced of the fact that your wish is unique and that you do not have to fight for it with someone else, but that it is also favourable to that other person, enhances its materialization. On the contrary, when you continuously compare yourself with others, you can hamper your own progress.

1.5.5. When you do not know whether you wish is good for you and for all, terminate your affirmation with an affirmation of general welfare It is not about the doubt within yourself, for instance whether your wish is worth it, but about the doubt whether it is a good wish for you and for the others.

27

The question may arise whether it is a real wish, a true desire or whether it is inspired by some negativity, for instance a kind of rivalry or aggression. This question only arises when after having done everything possible in combination with a long period of affirmations, nothing seems to happen, when one seems to be paralysed, when no changes appear to be possible.

Then you have to let go, stop focussing on it and say in full faith and without hesitating: “This is now solved in the most harmonious way and in the public interest. When the wish is good for me, it will come true, if not, I will achieve its equivalent or even something better”.

Taking into account the interest of others we can be sure that what we do is right and this gives us peace. Peace gives more strength to the formulated wish since doubt is no longer present. It can be that Universe has a similar thing in mind for you, even better, with more quality, more tuned to what you truly desire. The kind of doubt described here differs from the one that has to be eliminated based on other patterns within us. Here it is about the fact that the wish may be bad for us, without us being aware of it and not about the fact that a negative pattern inside us should not cross our wish.

Furthermore the attitude created by the affirmation mentioned above, will always continue to yield in the long term.

We are all part of the whole and as said before, what is good for someone else, will be good for us. It should be stressed that our ideas always have a – sometimes small – impact on all people.

When we tune to the universal energy, ours will be so much allembracing.

1.6. Interference with a third person involved in the affirmation 1.6.1. Repetition of the “golden rule” This refers to point 1.4.5. “Never do something to another when you do not wish it to happen to yourself”. Only Discover the powerful " Theta Frequency Based Program " which can manifest spendable cash for you within 24 hours !!

28

positive thoughts provoke similar reactions. When affirmations are used to manipulate, to gain something of which one knows or suspects that the third party does not want it, the affirmation will have its effect, but it will act as a boomerang and have a reverse effect in a field deemed to be very important by the one making the affirmation!! Florence Scovil Shinn writes that a woman made an affirmation to have a certain house. She wanted that one specific house and not a similar one, which would have been her right. The house she wanted belonged to someone else living in it. She got what she had wished: the man died and she could move into the house. But it so happened that her husband died soon after that. This real-life example quoted by Shinn has always stayed in my memory.

That is why I think that one cannot make an affirmation to marry a certain person when one has doubts about the fact whether the other person wants it as well or even when one does not know it.

Nor can you use affirmations to make a certain person love you: this would be an attempt to limit the liberty of others. You could use affirmations to have more love in your own life and to increase your ability to love.

I do think that you can make an affirmation so that you have a growing harmony with a certain person. Because this is good for both of you. The effect will go its way.

1.6.2. Time needed for materialization When another person is involved in the affirmation you might get resistance by obstructions in the subconscious of that person. It can also be that the circumstances in which the other one lives, have to change first. For example you are looking for the ideal partner, but that person first has to take care of his own business or he has a relationship with someone else he or she wants to end.

Nobody knows when a wish comes true. It depends on the intentions of the actors taking part in the process. The

29

free will always exists and when the mental power of the individual or of the parties involved focuses on another point of interest, the materialization of the affirmation may take longer.

But, as said before, nothing is static, unless one intentionally chooses to continue making the choice he once made.

Traditionally it is said that the time needed for materialization may vary from a couple of hours to a couple of years. A rather small wish, such as finding a parking space at a certain place, can take little time (and it should be like that) while obtaining a harmonious relationship, which furthermore was really blocked, can take a long time. In that case the affirmation has to “take effect” in the subconscious of the person involved (see below).

In my own experience my affirmations were materialized as soon as a couple of seconds or as late as after two and a half years. However, it is my opinion that this may differ slightly now as the number of vibrations of the Earths is increasing: some decennia ago the power of materialization of affirmations was not the same as it is now. We live in a time where material is much more easier to “manipulate”.

It goes without saying that you cannot see what your affirmation does in the energy field and how the parts of the puzzle are moving, it is a matter of trust in the “law”.

We have said above that obstructions in the subconscious of third parties – which are totally beyond our control – may hamper or slow down the materialization.

But of course the same is true for ourselves.

That is why we paid so much attention to eliminating those obstructions in the section “Underlying pattern”. It is a fact that the less resistance there is in our subconscious, the quicker a wish will come true. These two data are proportional to each other. When there are many doubts, the manifestation will take a long time. When there is no resistance, manifestation is nearly immediate. We wrote

30

before that, strictly spoken, an affirmation only needs to be made once when no resistance at all is present.

When resistance remains, the materialization will take a very long time or will not take place at all. This means that even when you follow all the rules concerning the formulation, the number of times to formulate, the objective belief, etc. it is always possible that your wish does not come true or that it will take too long.

1.6.3. Building in guarantees A special formula can be used when choosing the best way in the knowledge that the affirmation is good for the other person(s) implied. Also here the explanation given in the section “a collective mind” applies.

It can happen that by using the affirmation: “this or something better will show in accordance with the Cosmic Law” or “I am grateful to receive this if it is in harmony with the Universe and if it only brings good things to everyone””, the thought is being directed correctly and that when it would be harmful to others, which cannot always be known by the one making the affirmation, it will not be realized in that damaging way. A built-in guarantee, as you wish. It is very important as one always has to direct oneself, not only to what is good for oneself, but also to what is not harmful for others, for anyone. An affirmation that does not respect this and that has been realized, often does not last or it harms the person making the affirmation in a domain not known beforehand.

1.6.4. Distance or time are not important Thoughts originating in Australia, can be captured in Europe. The same invention is then created without having communicated the concept by means of the senses. When someone with whom you are close, thinks about you, you can feel it. At least, you feel it in an unconscious way and that person does not have to be with you. It is the same feeling like when someone keeps looking at you. The power of focussing.

31

Thoughts travel faster than light and nothing can stop them.

1.6.5. Transmission without being aware of it It is a fact that we are not always aware of having received thoughts. It is only when we investigate our acts and our social environment, that we know what is controlling our way of thinking and which thoughts we have emitted.

An example is the partner who fears that the other one is no longer interested in him or her, but fails to tell this to him or her. However, this persons does lead the interest of the other one in one or another direction, since these thoughts of fear are being received by the subconscious of the other one and in that way they can be realized. A process which occurs entirely beyond the consciousness, the awareness of the other one.

This means that the concept of guilt, as we have already mentioned, has to be considered in a different way. The only guilt the partner would have is that he or she has no knowledge of the laws ruling our subconscious.

32

2. Why using affirmations?

2.1. For oneself 2.1.1. In order to grow Is all this really useful ? Wishes are put into us because their materialization is good for us, because they make us feel good, enhance our development, make us move along. Wishes make us feel alive. As we have said before, a tricky issue is to know whether our wishes are really our own true wishes and not inspired by fear or similar feelings. Examine the motive of your wish.

Learning the affirmation technique helps us to retain the state of happiness, to make us less susceptible to changing moods. Affirmations can be used to feel more serene, to be able to see the unity with others. Each step is permanently acquired. Thanks to this technique you have the means to cope with all kinds of situations that first appeared to be insurmountable.

2.1.2. In order to purify and increase the energy one has Affirmations have the ability to undo what has been hammered into our subconscious for years by negative thoughts, without us being aware of it. Do not be surprised or desperate when an affirmation does not instantly become true. It first has to face and erase all the negative things in our subconscious impeding the realization of the affirmation.

Furthermore, there can be a lot of obstacles around us, of which we have no idea.

Having faith that everything is for our own good is an indispensable basic attitude.

33

Affirmations can block unwanted intentions : “I am in any way protected from damaging influences of others”. This can be useful to protect us from people stealing our energy, mostly unconsciously, which happens more often than one may think.

2.1.3. The future The future is determined by our current thoughts, which are as we have said before, embedded in our aura. When our pattern of thoughts continues to be parallel, we can identify a future event based on how we have created it. This means that we have the power to change our future at any time by changing our thoughts. Nothings remains constant, nothing stagnates, everything is constantly evolving.

The question whether our complete course of life can be change, in other words how much of it is predetermined, is one of the most difficult issues. It appears to me that everything is a result of our own choice. A choice to materialize a wish or a choice not to materialize it, a choice not to believe that it is possible. It is due to the lack of belief that undesired circumstances in life occur.

Such circumstances are often referred to as “it is my destiny”. Affirmations saying that “it always happens to me, I am always the victim, etc.” materialize a self created so-called “destiny”, which can at any time be changed.

Is there a general lot, a predestination ? In the sense that no wish can be put into us without us being able to materialize it, which also means that the capacity to do so is present and at the same time in the sense that no wish is the same, that everyone expresses it in a unique way, that he in fact has to do this and that wishes never can be contradictory in respect to both the individuality and the collectivity of individuals, there is the predestination that wishes harmonize with each other. This means that that wish is good for all of us. Departing from this basic principle means that the wish will be materialized in a way that meets the ancient principles of harmony, peace, joy and Discover the powerful " Theta Frequency Based Program " which can manifest spendable cash for you within 24 hours !!

34

good will. If not, there will be chaos and all kinds of negative circumstances, including disputes.

The complete machinery is based on one fact that was given to our consciousness. Freedom of thought. We cannot change the law that thoughts become things, but we can use it.

Freely. Always freely, for right and for wrong.

However it is not really necessary to know how everything works, it is even not necessary to know that it works.

Without individual choices on the one hand, the collectivity of thoughts on the other, the different situations in which individuals are living, are born, die, would not occur.

These conditions confirm the pattern.

Can one argue that, when one is not familiar with the power of thoughts, he is forced to go along or to peacefully accept the realization of his own wishes or the negativity in the world? And that he is not the cause of a life with our without complete self-realization? We can only answer this by saying that also ignorance has its effects. Also ignorance is a choice.

Although currently this is being addressed more and more.

What it is about is that everyone is the only conscious thinker in his or her life if he or she wants it and that he or she can go beyond the unwanted circumstances. History gives us many examples. People have managed to go from bitter poverty, both material and spiritual, to great wealth, also both material and spiritual, by realizing great accomplishments and inventions, by become great leaders, be acquiring great wealth, by all of that at the same time.

When we want another future, it is important to stop focussing on the past. I repeat that by focussing our attention on something, we strengthen it. We can use for instance the following affirmation for this: “The past does not longer exist.

From now on, I create a present and a future as I want them to be�.

35

It is also important that we realize that each day is a new beginning. An eternal possibility to start again. We do not have to carry the load of previous experiences. We have the power to erase them when we do not want them to be part of us.

Your “lot� is in fact your mental attitude: the way you feel, believe and think will mould your future.

2.1.4. In relation to others Just listen to conversations: when someone says that he always has bad luck when... or that he always has bad relationships or that he always attracts the same type of partner or that he is always lucky when doing this or that, etc. , what you hear are clusters, hard cores formed by repetition in the subconscious and these clusters will express themselves repeatedly and fiercely in that person’s life and they will then be the confirmation of what he told before.

It can be useful to have a closer look at the circumstances in which that persons lives: that is the mirror of his mental patterns. It can help us to understand him or her better, to help him to build up or to break down something in that respect.

When there is someone in our world, for a short or longer period of time, it is useful to wonder why that particular person is there. He reflects a certain aspect of us: an aspect that we have or have not recognized before. How someone behaves in our presence, is an answer to what is inside us. That is why no interference between persons occurs in the same way, as it is principally based on the emission of the thoughts and the reaction of the other person is the answer to the emitted thoughts. Also animals have this reaction. An animal reacts correspondingly to the fear or kindness of human-beings. Like the human-being, the animal also captures the thought about him. One will for instance not have the wanted effect when one is acting friendly while at the same time he is having negative thoughts about someone.

36

2.1.5. To realize that guilt does not exist The world around us is the reflection of our own mental image. It is the expression of what is present in our depository (our subconscious). The reason for this is that, as said before, things around us are made of matter, which eventually will be energy. That is why “matter” – any matter, also the hardest one – can be changed as to its form and in fact it continuously changes its form. Nothing remains unchanged, it all changes in one way or another. Nature has no blanks and no stagnation.

Inside and outside us, there is always the “mental equivalent”.

It is important to know that matter can be changed when we want to change it. It can be that the house we live in, the car we drive, the relation we have, the work we do, is not what we really want. These circumstances are a consequence of the own creation through the power of thoughts. No one bears any guilt, except for the person living in these circumstances. But the wish to change these circumstances, is the motor behind human progress.

2.2. For others Failing to accomplish what we really want as a kind of compromise, is not good for anyone or anything, not for us, not for other people. It may happen that the universal scheme is unable to put a true whish into our mind that is at same time good for us but not good for others. It can of course be that our true wishes are not materialized because we prefer not to make “all those efforts” to write down affirmations, but this means that were are stagnating or not progressing very quickly.

That is of our own free will.

2.3. For the collectivity There have always been people whose aim it was to send thoughts of harmony without precise addressees. With the aim of bringing good things wherever necessary. And there are still people doing this.

Discover the powerful " Theta Frequency Based Program " which can manifest spendable cash for you within 24 hours !!

37

But some people aim at something specific. They seek to increase harmony in the world, so that the positive elements would prevail. And as said before, love is more powerful than hatred.

Also individuals can act as a group when expressing their wishes. If a group strives for independency, they can bundle their wishes to achieve their aim. If a group aims at peace and another group not, the intensity, the amount of energy in one direction or the other, will prevail. As everything on which we focus is also present in our auras and multiplies, sending harmony and good will to others will increase our own positivity and thus our capacity to manifest. Hatred is destructive and may harm our potential. Making an affirmation for good health and hating a person at the same time, can cause a conflict. The collectivity can take advantage of the mental power of individuals. History has given us some examples.

2.4. To have (and recognize) the effect on all aspects of life Affirmations can change life much faster when we use them than when we don’t. A wish can come true much faster. When one does not materialize a wish (quickly) – although affirmations always have results – it is a sign that what you wish is not really meant to be or that you will have something better or that it really takes that much time to achieve it (for example when a third party is involved and when that third party has to go through a mental process). But it is a sure fact that your affirmations have effect, that you will achieve what you want (much) faster and that you will achieve what you really want instead of floating on the waves of existence. It is a law of Nature: nothing compares to the focussed use of affirmations.

3. How to use affirmations ?

3.1. Affirming in thoughts How converting words in reality ? The more the wish differs from what your world shows you, the longer or stronger the “affirmation” will have to be. Once you have found a sentence, a formula that translates your wish completely and truly, you can say this formulation in your head. Once or repeatedly. It goes without saying that it is better to repeat the wish. Coué recommends to say the affirmation repeatedly and very quickly.

In his method this was : “it passes (ça passe)”.

You can also, when formulating your wish in your head, move your lips, which is more effective. Sometimes it is just not possible to say your wish out loud.

3.2. Saying the affirmation out aloud Saying the formulation out aloud is more powerful than in thoughts; in literature we find that it is very effective to say the affirmation out aloud before the mirror while looking yourself in the eyes.

You can also do this in a low voice, you can do it without stressing and it has to be done without effort of the will. As monotone as possible Coué confirmed. However, I think that saying a wish out aloud with enthusiasm must increase its power, due to the tension and emotion this expresses.

You can also listen to the formulation on tape. When you let it play at night, the affirmations go directly to the subconscious, which increases their effectiveness.

3.3. Writing down the affirmation Writing down the formulation is the most effective way. It is the most powerful formulation to engrave the thought in the

39

subconscious. As said before, thinking is less powerful, saying your wish out aloud is more powerful and writing it down is the most powerful way: it is a combination of visual and locomotory aspects and it leaves something tangible.

You can save the affirmation in a computer file so that it remains the same, because it is necessary to use always the same text (unless you sense that another text reflects your needs better, then you have to change it and keep to these changes, see before).

You can write the affirmation on a card and look at it whenever you have the opportunity (refer to the index card).

3.4. Visualizations There is another way to make “affirmations” and that is to visualize them. This means that you have to keep the image in mind of what you wish, as clearly as possible while imagining yourself in the situation that you see, that you experience. This inevitably means that imagining the wish goes hand in hand with emotions, with the joy one feels when seeing the fantasy and this is a good thing. The more senses involved in the process, the better. When it is hard to see the wish in one’s mind’s eye, it can help to combine it with smelling and feeling things, to see the joy on the faces of other people, to hear them say how happy they are.

To make visualizations – a strong way to change reality quickly – work, it goes without saying that you do not have to see the reality in one’s mind’s eye, but the changed and wished reality and to imagine oneself in that reality, as if it were true. As true to life and as illustrated as possible. Concentrate this in an image with the essentials, a picture of the results obtained.

Then you can always evoke that picture during daytime. What one can image, can become true, as it seems that no one can image something that cannot exist.

Here the same conditions apply as for affirmations and we wish to recall some here, namely: Discover the powerful " Theta Frequency Based Program " which can manifest spendable cash for you within 24 hours !!

- having faith in the method is required – it even makes your wish come true faster than the mere use of affirmations; the combination of both things is perfect - when your faith has not yet been strengthened by proofs of the method or are you still a bit sceptical, then you have to concentrate on goals that are easier to achieve - the fact that what you wish should not hurt anyone or thwart someone else’s wish - create a very precise image in one’s eye’s mind, an image that can be retrieved easily - ‘look’ at this image especially in the morning and in the evening and try to retrieve it during daytime as many times as possible, when you are relaxed - do not try to unravel the way a wish becomes true - do not waste your time on the question how long it will take, as this reduces the power of the wish

3.5. Index card As I recall, Shirly Mc Laine has developed a practical system.

She made an index card of her formulation, with the affirmation on top and she drew 21 boxes referring to 21 days, 3 x 7 days (see the example at the back). Each day you make the affirmation, you have to put a cross. You cannot skip any day of the 21 days or all your “efforts” made before will lose their power and you will have to start again or add days. She based this theory on a scientifically proven fact, namely that the subconscious requires 21 days to save something permanently, which means that from then on the materialization will start.

The index card can also be replaced by a computer file, where the affirmation can always be completed in exactly the same way.

41

3.6. Various affirmations at the same time?

It is recommended to have one subject per affirmation, unless it is a very general affirmation, aiming e.g. at success.

It appears that it is not effective, in view of the realization, to try to solve simultaneously family problems, professional issues and health problems. It definitely has to be avoided to put three different formulations one after the other.

When it is about a general formulation, like the one made by Coué, “things keep going better and better, day after day and in every respect”, then these formulations can be combined.

However, non-specific formulas will need much more time to materialize when one wishes to change specific circumstances.

Wait some time – one day is amply sufficient – before phrasing specific affirmations concerning a different subject. It is my opinion that the subconscious is able to store thoughts there where similar thoughts have already been stored, in order to enhance their effects. It is also true that each wish has a certain vibration; only one vibration can be emitted at a time.

3.7. Concentration Even if it is a fact that nice manifestations occurred when the affirmation was rattled off, without any emotion, I feel that concentration and immersion, which originate other similar feelings, will speed up the materialization.

It is also recommended not to be restless or to make nervous movements when making affirmations. A relaxed body and mind stimulate the affirmation’s force.

As said before, an affirmation should not be made when you are in a negative mood, for instance, when you are angry or furious or when you are in a big hurry and make your affirmation really quickly in order to have it all over.

When making affirmations, impatient thoughts will push away the realization and they will confuse the aura since they reveal a lack of faith in the “effectiveness of the system”.

42

4. What may hamper the effect of an affirmation ?

4.1. Abstract formulation : need of accuracy The aforementioned formula of Coué, “things keep going better and better, day after day and in every respect”, is fantastic, but as we said before, it will not lead (directly) to the realization of a specific wish. The formula will accomplish what it says and being so general it is complete and effective at the same time because every aspect is involved in the formulation and because the words “better and better” will neutralize any resistance in the subconscious.

But if you want something specific, be as accurate and clear as possible or else its accomplishment will take more time.

4.2. Contradictory phrases or contradictory thoughts Mind your words. When you want to travel to a certain country, which you have mentioned exactly in your affirmation, do not say during daytime to yourself or to someone else: I would like to go to that country, but it will be very difficult. I try but I really do not have the means. Etc. Mind your thoughts.

Next to the fact that you have to be calm when thinking, saying or writing down your affirmations, without any fear (refer to point 3.7.), you also have to neutralize any feelings of fear and restlessness immediately by saying: my affirmations are being accomplished right now or X and I live in an increasing harmony, I believe in the mental power, I am capable of doing what others have accomplished or even better, things are like that now, etc. … Or you will destroy the power of it partially or even totally – you will erase the positive elements – and that would be a pity.

43

It has to be stressed that minding your thoughts requires a lot of discipline and a lot of mental efforts. Try to recognize your thoughts and to abandon them immediately when they oppose your wish.

When they keep popping up, replace those thoughts by something that makes you happy. Apply the law of substitution.

You can only think about one thing at a time. Try not to stay too long in a depressive mood. Think intentionally about a positive situation in order to change your energy. When these negative thoughts keep coming back and you do not manage to suppress them, clear your mind by using general formulas and by repeating “everything is working for my own good”, “chaque homme est un maillon d’or dans la chaîne de mon bien”. Think and even better, be convinced that what you say and feel, each circumstance, how difficult it may seem, will eventually bring good things for you. Do not wonder, be convinced.

4.3. Wondering how it works Once you have made your affirmations, do not ask questions about how they will be accomplished ! Making the affirmations works independently and has its own growth. It is the same as for a flower you plant: it grows automatically when you water it from time to time (just like repeating your affirmation, possibly in combination with visualization). When the seed is still in the ground, it is not necessary to go and look whether it is shooting or not, because this will slow down the growth process or even stop it: wondering when it will come true and why it does not happen sooner, is harmful. One thing is sure: the affirmation is working, even at a distance. And sometimes, when one least expects it, it will come true. And it won’t have a reduced effect, because at that moment all resistance will have disappeared.

4.4. Resistance A good method is to break the resistance of the subconscious, as said in the point about the general aspect of affirmation. You can do this by using in your affirmations words like “always

44

better, always stronger, etc...”. The subconscious hears then very clearly that a certain direction has to be chosen.

This can be important when a person is unable to stand aloof from what he or she sees. When he sees a lack of comfort around him and when he wants more comfort, his consciousness can tell his subconscious that the affirmation he made is in fact nonsense, since it is the contrary of the situation he is living in. The subconscious will register these thoughts of disbelieve – these are linked to conviction, which is a feeling and to visual observation – and as a consequence there will be no improvement. Whereas when this persons adds to the formulation that there will be improvement, maybe slowly in his conviction but also closer as for quantity, time and intensity, his subconscious will react correspondingly.

So add to your formulation, next to the inversion of your limitative convictions, in order to avoid resistance, that what you wish will happen in a way that is “always more, always more intense, more often, quicker, etc.”. We often know that when making affirmations we deny reality, but the mere fact of knowing this, leads to it that what we consider to be reality happens faster than what we formulated in the affirmation. This is due to the fact that what we know at the back of our mind, goes hand in hand with a stronger emotion or to the fact that we have more faith in that reality than in the affirmation.

Emotionally charged affirmations tend to materialize quicker, as we said before. In order to erase resistance you can also make the following affirmation: “I leave this to the law of the mental power, which attracts everything necessary to realize my wish”.

4.5. Doubts Having doubts about whether your wish will come true is what hampers the materialization of a wish or stops the creative process, as we have mentioned before. This is an important

45

obstacle, which may arise when the result of the affirmation is delayed.

When such a thought occurs, make an affirmation to cancel that thought and replace it by the affirmation. Always remember that you are using a law of Nature. You can for instance make an affirmation that you leave the materialization of your wish to the law of mental power, since it knows the perfect solution for your worries, for the realization you wish to accomplish. You can add to it that you will recognize that perfect solution and react to it.

Also very pressing affirmations making use of your will, may give the signal that you have some doubts about the outcome of the affirmation. Will is not appropriate here, quiet conviction is.

4.6. A negative mood, a lack of faith It helps to realize your affirmation quicker when you are happy, especially when making your affirmations. When you have a depressive mood, your energy is negative and you cannot be a magnet for the positive elements you want to attract. At that moment you keep these positive elements at a distance. Try to attract positive energy by having high hopes, by being happy and then you are ready to receive it.

Your energy condition attracts similar energy. Also this conversion will require your attention.

Examine your mood and change your mood, or in other words your vibration, by changing your thoughts.

Examine the amount of faith you have and if necessary make an affirmation to increase your faith. Faith is essential. If possible, do things in the direction of your wish in order to show your faith.

4.7. Disability to forgive and resentment Being unable to forgive makes people unhappy, steals energy away from us and more important, it ties us to those whom we do not want to forgive. We are bound by love, but also by hatred. Thoughts of love and hatred create ties between Discover the powerful " Theta Frequency Based Program " which can manifest spendable cash for you within 24 hours !!

46

people, which are stronger than steel. Hatred can hamper the materialization of affirmations.

For your own progress: ask yourself whether there is someone you haven’t forgiven and talk about it with that person, at least in your own mind. Try to forgive: if you fail to do this (immediately) and as we said before, you do not have to blame yourself for this, because you cannot force this, then try to say: I set you free. Or write it down in affirmations. Because as long as there is a bond of hatred, love cannot come into your live as you would wish.

As long as we have resentment and we cherish the idea that our resentment is justified, we harm ourselves, sometimes even more than what caused the resentment. Hearing this may cause resistance, but it does not imply that the behaviour of the other one is approached with kindness or even with some kind of approval, we only said that the rule is that what gets your attention, becomes larger. Larger inside yourself, larger in your own life. There is no room for two things at the same time.

We are not always able to identify (immediately) the cause of the circumstances occurring in our lives. What we can do, is to stop feeding the thought of guilt and to accept, affirm, that what happened to us, will finally be good for us. Approaching this in such a way means that your new thoughts will bring you better conditions and that you will (eventually) benefit from this situation in the form of personal development, love or wealth in your life. The formula of “being good for you” can come true whenever it is necessary.

Forgive yourself in particular and examine your thoughts to see whether there are no feelings of guilt left, since this may make you very unhappy and hamper your growth. Feelings of guilt accumulate inside you. They bring you less love and by consequence you will meet less love in your life.

When you forgive yourself, then it is immediately forgiven in the absolute, in the collective mind. This means that you are your own “saviour” to use this word for he who uses this

47

terminology. You are then your own guardian of your ‘karma�, to use this term with its many meanings.

What is called karma is in fact nothing more than an unsolved programme, which hunts you until you have erased it by replacing it, so that it is deleted, by having accepted and abandoned it. But each judgement or prejudice, criticism, in short each negative thought in the present creates a new karma because it is able to install a new programme.

That is why being happy is: not building up karma. Everything that doesn’t feel right, is karma. Living in the present in a way that feels good is the best you can do to avoid installing new programmes. Being skilled in feeling good today gives us better skills to feel good tomorrow.

4.8. A lack of gratitude for what you have When you are thankful for your current situation, you create space for new things. By thanking you accept what you have, you accept yourself, you do not have resistance against what already exists and you do not strengthen it. You know that this is the result of what you created before. You thus express your conviction that you know that and how it was realized. By doing so you remove the obstacles to realize more wishes.

Affirmations starting with an expression of gratitude for what one asks, are the most powerful ones. They bring you in a certain state of susceptibility and positive energy. Also ending the affirmation with thanks for what one received, is very powerful.

4.9. Letting go This arises from the preceding paragraph, it also means that one commits his wish to the power of materialization without trying to control it, without trying to force it in any way; when thanking for the ongoing materialization, you do not have to be concerned about it and you can leave it to the Universe, which has its own laws of manifestation. Exactly according to the instructions of your mind. Until you make other affirmations.

Everything requires time. All negative feelings you may have

48

about the time needed to realize your wish, have to be abandoned.

It is also easier to let go when you know that there is no reason for concern. There are thousands of channels the conscious mind is not able to think about and which can still bring you what you asked.

4.10. The will Even if we have talked about this before, it is approached separately here. The will combined with efforts and thus tension must not play a part : the will is not capable to convince the subconscious, this has to be done by imprinting the “instructions” gently, without stress.

Trying to make the affirmations more “powerful” by using your will can harm the effects or even destroy them completely.

When you want to get rid of your sleeping problems with the formula “I want to sleep”, this will most probably not be achieved. This forced expression causes inner resistance in the subconscious. When you want to use your will to suppress your stammering, you will not stammer less, but by putting emphasis on it, you may make it worse.

II. ON YOUR WAY TO PRACTICE: a summary of some essentials CREATE YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE The first part contains a description of the technique and a short explanation. Here we want to recall some important aspects.

Virtually nobody has perfect control of the technique of making affirmations. Start with wishes that are within easy reach for you and with short periods of time. But do not forget to say a general formula, like the one of CouĂŠ, every day. Next to this you can make an affirmation about one of your big dreams. Part III gives you some examples of affirmations and visualizations.

VALUABLE TIME Time spent on affirmations is extremely well spent time; ten minutes per day can accomplish quite a lot, can reverse years of negative thoughts.

We often think about things that are not so positive : this has to be countered ! Since scientists say that we have about 60.000 thoughts every day and that we do not control all of them in a conscious way. By replacing the negative ones immediately by positive ones, our feeling has given us the means to do so.

OUR FEELING IS THE TOUCHSTONE When we are not feeling well, we need to replace our thoughts. This is the test. When you are in a good mood, this means that what you are thinking and by consequence what your are manifesting in your life, is good for you.

50

YOU CAN CHANGE ANY FEELING WITH A THOUGHT This is very important. When you are sad, you can think about something else right away and make your sadness disappear. It is impossible to about a nice experience and be sad at the same time. The power to control this, gives you the key to cope with depressive feelings. To avoid that you drown in grief. To stop being afraid of melancholy. With a lot of practice you will soon be able to replace sad thoughts by joy. Do not give up when you have a setback, when it does not work right away.

Each skill requires exercising. Ever again. No one can do this right away. We must not judge ourselves, we just have to observe how we are doing and be conscious.

CONSCIOUSNESS This is the centre of it all. Your consciousness makes you realize, examine, know which thoughts you have and by consequence why you act, with all the corresponding feelings involved. Often you will automatically slip into thinking without control. The more often you examine what you are thinking, the more often you will remind yourself to do this.

IT IS OUR ONLY KEY But also the most difficult one. It is much easier to float on the course of life, on the rhythm of conversations, on what your way of thinking brings you. To go along. This can be good.

Daydreaming is good, provided that it are good daydreams.

When you know it and accept them. Then you can only get more good moments.

51

BECAUSE THE FUTURE DEPENDS ON THE PRESENT The more good thoughts you have today, the better tomorrow will be. Tomorrow is not today and it will never be.

But tomorrow seeks to repeat today. The established patterns of thoughts want to become permanent. That is their nature, that is what they do, unless we decide to change this. To do so, we have to break our resistance and change them.

BE AWARE NOT TO CHANGE YOURSELF IN RESISTANCE Thoughts creating stress, carry this emotion in them. The result is more stress. Thoughts carrying rest in them, will automatically create more rest.

Affirmations made when stressed, will be registered together with a factor of fear. Because fear arises when we have doubts about the outcome. Uncertainty deprives affirmations of their push. Think about the fact that all of this is based on an age-old element : a law of nature which we cannot change. We can only use it.

USE WHAT WE HAVE AT OUR DISPOSAL Without being ignorant. Do not go along with all those stereotypes about love, money, society, about how to be, about how nothing can be changed and about that it will be like that for ever. Because it won’t.

NOTHING REMAINS THE SAME, EVERYTHING CHANGES Change is the essence of life. Change means that nothing remains the same. And when it does not remain the same, Discover the powerful " Theta Frequency Based Program " which can manifest spendable cash for you within 24 hours !!

52

there are two directions: more or less. That is our choice.

When we want more of something, we have to focus on it.

ATTENTION IS THE CENTRE OF THINGS What gets our attention, becomes larger. The more attention we give it, the larger it becomes. The object of our attention does not escape from that rule. Impossible. We would be unable to change that.

FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WISH Find out what it is you give your attention to. Do you want that? If yes, keep focussing on it. If no, make it disappear from your area of attention. How? By changing your thoughts. By thinking about what you wish, in combination with joy.

FEELINGS LINKED TO THOUGHTS WILL CHANGE YOUR WORLD MUCH FASTER Scientists can prove what feelings cause in the etheric plane, so that energy is easily converted into something tangible. That is much easier than when you put what you would like to be converted, in other words materialized in your world, only in words, which are rattled off without emotion, without enthusiasm.

BECAUSE IT ALL HAPPENS IN THE MIND The mind controls everything. Everything we do not have to be concerned about, like the functioning of our organs. But what we are concerned about, is whether our life works out the way we want it. The motor of the course of our life, is the mind, our subconscious. It controls our life. And we have the power to direct our mind.

53

WE CONTROL THE MIND With what ? With our freedom of choice. Which we can form when thinking consciously. This choice we make consciously will be planted in our mind, provided it feels really good. It goes faster when the insertion is well-defined.

PRECISELY DEFINED WISHES Give the mind a clear order. One it cannot misinterpret.

Because the mind does not reason. It merely accepts. And it starts immediately to work on the execution. So, do not give contradictory instructions.

DO NOT FORGET THAT OUR SUBCONSCIOUS OPERATES LIKE A COMPUTER You do not give a computer consecutive contradictory orders, do you? When you want it to breakdown, that is what you have to do. You can give it a larger RAM memory, but that will only increase speed. It will not enable it to recognize messages that you do not want to be executed. It will try to execute everything. When you give too many orders at the same time, it will stop execution. Or it will take a very long time.

FOR MATERIALIZATION TIME IS NONEXISTENT That is a very difficult concept. What we wish and the time needed to materialize it is a concept we need in our way of thinking. In essence, there is no time between it; what we want, already exists, right now and right here and we only have

54

to “harvest” it with our thoughts and feed it with these thoughts until it becomes tangible and visible. Here and now.

NOW Now is the only existing time. Thinking about the future is in fact stealing from the current moment; thinking about the past is letting the past continue in the present and experience the same thing. That is a choice. When the past was great, it is nice to do it all over again. That thinking about the future is in fact failing to honour the present is not contradictory to the technique of making affirmations. Affirmations aim at changing the future, but they make use of the present. The “computer” gets the order now – as the order is something we want and by consequence it is something we would want right now – and by putting the wish in the future tense, the computer – being our mind - will start to execute the order then instead of now.

EXECUTION The mind or our subconscious does not know any other method. It is unable to reason. It does not know time. It does not know the difference between right and wrong. Does not know any nuances. But it does listen very carefully. The better the order is defined, the easier it can be executed. The hazier, the more difficult. Then our subconscious has to search for some time. When there are contradictory instructions in our subconscious, these will neutralize each other and nothing will happen.

ONE BIG QUESTION : WHY IS MY AFFIRMATION NOT REALIZED? Because it conflicts with an order, an affirmation taking away the power of the affirmation to a greater or lesser degree.

Discover the powerful " Theta Frequency Based Program " which can manifest spendable cash for you within 24 hours !!

55

Then one has to make an effort to eliminate the existing order saved in our mind, to erase it.

BELIEF IS NOT INVOLVED, DISBELIEF IS NOT INVOLVED, NON-BELIEF IS NOT INVOLVED Everyone is subject to the laws of nature. Anyone thinking consciously has a mind executing orders, whether this person knows it or not; whether he wants it or not; whether he believes in it or not; whether he want to believe or not; whether he is sceptical or not. That is why life is so just. For some people it does not seem like that. It even seems incredible for them to accept that they give instructions to themselves to bring them the circumstances in which they are living. It can be at the same time confusing and relieving to realize that. Then a question pops up: if I can change it, why doesn’t it happen ?

My description has absolutely nothing to do with philosophical or religious convictions; it is the simple application of what has been proven scientifically and/or empirically. An atheist, an indifferent person or a devote person, in any religion, will benefit to the same extent when applying these principles, since the “law of creating thoughts” is totally impersonal, just like all the other laws of nature. One does not have to believe, to hope (but nor must one despair).

One only has to know what the consequence is of a certain action.

BECAUSE THE TECHNIQUE ANSWERS TO THE PATTERNS OF THAT TECHNIQUE And we cannot stress these patters enough. You find them below. The speed and perfection of the materialization of the wish depends on it. Everything has to be taught. Everything needs exercising. And the technique of giving one’s life the desired form takes a whole lifetime. Practice makes perfect.

Patience is not really necessary. One just has to “know”.

56

IT IS COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT IT IS “LAW” A pattern means that we do not have to fight it. We can adapt ourselves to what this law can offer us, we can use it. To have electricity or to make a plant grow, we do not have to fight for it. We know that it is like that. That gives us faith.

THE LARGER THE FAITH THE EASIER THE MATERIALIZATION Because it then has to remove less obstacles. When people go many times to look at the seeds they put in the earth in order to see whether they are shooting, it can be that the seeds will be obstructed in their growth. What appears to be clear, is not that clear where the law of nature regarding the materialization of wishes is concerned. Give yourself up.

BE GRATEFUL Gratitude gives wings to the affirmation. Say: I am so grateful that it is like that, that it will be like that, so that it will be realized. Thankfulness and joy and positive emotions go hand in hand, they express that wish in the best way possible.

Let’s be thankful for that : an affirmation asking the materialization and thanking for it makes the affirmation very powerful. One can never give enough thanks. The more thanks are rendered, the more reason you will have to say thanks.

FOR ALL PARTIES INVOLVED This is very important. Because what is good for you, necessarily has to be good for the other one. That is why we recommended many times to formulate your wish that something better will come along to the benefit of everyone or of all persons involved.

57

IMPORTANT FOR THIS TIME Affirmations are always more important in this time where the number of vibrations of the Earth is increasing, due to which the wishes will come true quicker. By consequence it is very important to acquire skills in doing this.

ACTION AND REACTION In the Universe nothing comes into being just like that, action is always required.

After having made your affirmations, you have to take action; you have to do what your intuition tells you to do. Being quiet and wait until something happens, is not the appropriate way to make progress. Take as many steps as possible in the direction of what you want to achieve, but do not rush; be alert for signals and ideas. Write them down, they are volatile.

The action we mentioned before also refers to the making of affirmations, they require constant “efforts�, which means that we constantly have to be alert and watch our attitude of quiet faith. Affirmations require that you, through your own imagination, words, thoughts, bring your wish closer and closer within your reach. Every time closer.

III. EXAMPLES OF AFFIRMATIONS 1. About relationships I.I. With a partner I.I.I. A partner has not been found yet I am glad to attract a person who is meant for me and harmonizes with me in any respect. I can give him/her everything he/she needs and he/she can do this for me. We are united in love, freedom, respect and honesty. We enhance each other’s growth and love each other as we really are. Our relationship makes us both complete.

I am so grateful to be busy bringing the man/woman in my life harmonizing with me in any respect and to see a growing harmony between us.

Formulated for someone else: She/he, X (name) is now grateful to find the love she/he is longing for and needed by her/him now.

I come closer and closer to a satisfying and fulfilling relationship with my perfect partner, with whom I can live in complete harmony in any respect.

These general affirmations allow you to attract and find the partner suitable for you in any respect.

A more specific affirmation – in case a certain aspect of the relationship is not what you would like it to be – can be : I am now grateful for honest love I say thanks because x comes to me now or gets in touch with me in an increasingly spontaneous way (or more and more spontaneous way or easier and easier).

59

I am grateful because x is more and more communicative towards me.

I am grateful because x shows more and more interest in what occupies both of us.

I am grateful because x acts more and more lovingly towards me.

Next to thanks – a powerful word – it is equally possible to say that one is glad : “I am grateful and glad that ...” (and then the correct ending).

A more specific affirmation aims at stopping to attract a certain unwanted characteristic in a partner. As a result of this affirmation that characteristic will disappear or another partner who does not have this characteristic, will be attracted. It is not unthinkable that when trying to eliminate something that you do not want in a relationship, Universe will show you the way to another person, who will be a better match. It is indeed so that the best situation for your personal growth will be found for you. However, it can be useful to see whether you do not have the same characteristic you want to eliminate in the other person. We are in fact each other’s mirrors.

I.I.2. A partner has been found but he/she is difficult to approach Here it depends whether both persons agree with the relationship, in other words, whether they want the relationship to continue.

- If yes : I am glad that bonds between X and myself, Y are tightening and this is for both of us stimulating and elevating.

X (the name of the woman/man involved) has more and more faith in himself, in me and in love. Her/his faith, honesty and love are growing. Our mutual harmony is constantly growing. Our contacts become more and more frequent and affectionate.

60

- If not both of the persons involved have the same wish If X and me are suitable for each other, our relationship will grow day by day in all its beauty, love, respect and all qualities that may help us both and make us develop/evolve. If not, I will get his/her equivalent or even someone better. I am very grateful and have peaceful faith that my wish will be materialized.

- If you want to terminate an attraction, a crush I couldn’t care less about X and my feelings toward him/her. X is a man/woman like all the rest and he/she will only bring something good in my life in accordance with my will to wish him/her all the best.

1.1.3. A partner has been found but you doubt whether it will last It goes between X and myself, Y better and better as for honest communication. I continue to offer him what he is looking for and so does he in relation to me. We are always together in faith and belief and we are able to express that.

When there is uncertainty because one of the partners is not convinced by the relationship, the following affirmation can be used provided that it starts with : When X is the right man/wife for me, things will be better and better between us in any respect and we will not lose each other. On the contrary, we help each other to make progress in the area of what we both truthfully wish.

When there is uncertainty because one of the partners fears that the other one will lose his interest in him/her and/or when the other partner shows interest in someone else, see point 1.1.4. below. It is a fact that doubts are “planted� in the subconscious of the other persons, who will start to act correspondingly to this doubt. When someone for instance doubts whether his/her partner still loves him/her, the partner Discover the powerful " Theta Frequency Based Program " which can manifest spendable cash for you within 24 hours !!

will capture that doubt. He will have to face that doubt and he himself can also have a vague feeling of doubt about whether his/her partner still loves him/her. This creates a vicious circle, which cannot be broken by them as long as they are not familiar with the laws of the mind.

I.I.4. A partner has been found but there is no harmony I wish x and our relationship without reservations and sincerely all the best. I know that his success is also my success, that love and jealousy cannot coexist. I stress that love fills my whole being and that there is peace in my mind. Each time I see the image of X I shall say in a state of peace and goodness that he and we are totally protected and that we will be guided at any moment of each day. I am grateful for the evolution of our relationship toward sincerity and growth for both of us.

X and I have found our balance, we feed each other and we give each other energy. If it is not like that, I am grateful that he/she will disappear from my life in full harmony.

I.I.5. A partner has been found but there is a new partner I am grateful that my subconscious will show me the right way I have to follow in the interest of all parties, including myself. I shall recognize the clear signals that will be given to me and I will act correspondingly in full faith that what is good for someone else, also will be good for me and vice versa and that the best for both of us will soon manifest itself.

I.2.2. A child is on its way I have now a perfect bond/relationship with my child/daughter/son I see, in any respect (here you can mention mental and physical characteristics you want your child to have). Or I have a perfect relationship with my … (fill in adjectives) daughter/son/child. When you are saying it out aloud or sing it, your child will be able to hear it even better.

I.2.3. The first years The first years of a child’s life are very important for its mental development. The suggestions it receives in that period determine its behaviour in life until the moment the child manages to control the laws of the mind and is able to choose which suggestion it wants to keep or not.

The negative or positive ideas of the parents will be adopted by the child. When you see in your child a negative attitude that you recognize in yourself or in your partner or in other persons, you have to make efforts to erase it from the subconscious of your child.

1.2.4. Coué Coué recommends to make suggestions while the child is sleeping, for instance “you fall asleep easier and easier and you do not wake up”. These suggestions have to be whispered in order not to awake the child, at a distance of a couple of meter away from the child. These suggestions will be taken up by the subconscious immediately because the consciousness cannot offer any resistance.

2.15. Emotional disengagement Shirly Mc Laine has established a programme of emotional disengagement, which according to her does not erase the feelings but helps us to be more objective and calmer in relationships so that people listen to us.

Start to read slowly, if possible aloud, during 21 days : - I shall not be concerned - I shall not worry - You will not make me unhappy - You will not cause me pain - I shall not have fear for you - I shall keep my hopes up and not blame you for nothing - I shall not criticize nor judge you - I shall remember in first and in last instance, in other words always, that intuition enlightens - I shall leave you to it, so that it shows you the way and fulfils your needs - I shall be patient with you and have faith in you - I shall support you with my belief in you knowing that you will find any help you might need - I only have good intentions for you, I am willing to let you lead your life as you want it - Your ideas are not necessarily my ideas, but I am confident that you will be guided along the way that is best for you - I wish you all the best, 24 hours a day.

Shirly Mc Laine writes that she herself did not develop this programme – which I have translated quite freely – but that she has copied it form a diary, without mentioning the author. She writes that she has used it for someone with whom she finds it difficult to control her feelings and that she guarantees its effectiveness.

2.16. To be informed by the subconscious “The infinite intelligence of my subconscious knows everything and it will reveal the correct decision to me. When the answer comes to me, I will recognize it”.

EPILOGUE Writing this book did not take much time. Even if I only helped one person with it, it would not have been written in vain. As it is completely based on my own inspiration and experience, it was quite pleasant to write it. From the point of view of durability it is easier to write on paper what you want to transmit and with my mother in mind, I most certainly want to transmit this to my daughter. I would like to save her many years of searching. Also she has freedom of choice. But I was able to accomplish a part of a wish : to transmit this to her. And I am grateful for that.
