"I am the sum total of my own thoughts.”

So the question is, how are we going to entertain only the good thoughts and reject the evil ones? At first, we can't keep the evil thoughts from coming, but we can keep from entertaining them. The only way to do this is to forget them — which means, get something for them. This is where the ready-made affirmation comes in.

When a thought of anger, jealousy, fear, or worry creeps in, just start your affirmation going. The way to fight darkness is with light: the only way to fight cold is with heat, the way to overcome evil is with good. For myself, I never could find any help in denials. Affirm the good, and the bad will vanish.

I built up ten affirmations for myself, taking the strength, qualities, attributes and positivity, I most needed and affirming for myself over and over again. From the list below, I kept up this affirmation, always the same, never varying, till I could wake up in the night and find myself repeating. It was the last thing on my lips at night and the first thing in the morning.

“Spirit is who I am, ever present.

My Mind is an attribute of my Consciousness.”

– Divya Vinai Shah

Not only did I affirm it for myself, but for others that I knew needed it. I want to emphasize this point. Whatever you desire for yourself, affirm it for others and it will help you both. We reap what we sow; when we send out thoughts of love and health, they return to us thousand fold; but if we send out thoughts of fear, worry, jealousy, anger, hate, etc., we shall reap the results in our own lives multiplied hundred - fold!

If there is anything you require, it will be well for you to make use of this affirmation; it cannot be improved upon. Use it just as it is; take it into the silence with you until it sinks into your subconsciousness so that you can use it anywhere: in your car, on the bus, in the office, at home. The advantage of spiritual methods is that they are always available. All that is required is a proper recognition of MIND’S omnipotence and a willingness or desire to become the recipient of its beneficent effects.

“Thoughts are causes and Conditions are effects.”

The thought is creative and will automatically correlate with its object. This is a Divine Law, the law of Cause and Effect. Recognition and application of this law will determine both beginning and end. It is the law by which in all ages and at all times the people were led to believe in the power of our MIND.

Affirmations to be said as many times a day as possible:

1. Anything that I need will be given to me.

2. Anything that I need to know will be revealed to me, at the exact time-space sequence.

3. My life is full of energy, health, wealth, joy and happiness.

4. I change easily when the need to change arises.

5. All is well in my world. I am rich beyond my dreams. I am constantly increasing my income wherever I turn.

6. I get the exact job that will fulfill my needs at the exact time.

7. I use my creativity and talents to earn a living, and I am rewarded highly.

8. I enjoy an abundance of everything in my life.

9. I am fulfilling my divine purpose on this earth, and am an instrument for world service.

10. I surrender myself and life's purpose to the highest Divine source - the Almighty Authority.

11. In the eyes of GOD, I am so complete that HE is incomplete without ME!

12. The Godly Father gives abundantly; I receive thankfully and give again generously.

"Most people believe the mind to be a mirror, more or less accurately

reflecting the world outside them, not realizing on the contrary that the mind is itself the principal element of creation."

Rabindranath Tagore
