	https://psychcentral.com/blog/why-positive-affirmations-dont-work/ "Why Positive Affirmations Don’t Work" (excerpt) see full article By Sophie Henshaw if affirmations don’t work, what does? The good news is that there is a simple method you can use, apply immediately and have instant and excellent results. A recent groundbreaking study holds the key. It sheds light on the effectiveness of declarative versus interrogative self-talk (Senay, Albarracín & Noguchi, 2010). Declarative self-talk is about making self-statements, either positive (e.g., affirmations) or negative (e.g., core beliefs). In contrast, interrogative self-talk is about asking questions. In the study, four groups of participants were asked to solve anagrams. Before completing the task, the researchers told them that they were interested in handwriting practices and asked them to write 20 times on a sheet of paper either: “I will,” “Will I,” “I” or “Will.” The group that wrote “Will I” solved nearly twice as many anagrams as any of the other groups. ___________________________________________________ full research article title, type in quotes in google " Motivating Goal-Directed Behavior Through Introspective Self-Talk: The Role of the Interrogative Form of Simple Future Tense.

	It is unwise to do it alone for the first time, no it is not safe. You need a comfortable environment and a sober, trustworthy, calm person to be with you

	repetition of information awake or asleep will ingrain that information to an extent just like a popular song you hear played all the time can become ingrained. Writing down something repeatedly is also an effective way of doing this 553 x 67 x 5 = if you write this down 50 times or play it on a loop recording as you sleep the next it's likely you will remember 553 x 67 x 5 = However that doesn't mean your brain will give you an answer but it might. So test this. Write down the above or a similar math operation 50 times before you go to sleep to a loop recording of it (but it must be set to end before you wake up) It should not be something you know how to solve by a math shortcut you might know Then when you wake up see if you can both remember the problem and see if you awake with a solution The percentages Bruce Lipton speaks of are made up and exaggerates things However he is right that repetition can be used to ingrain information. You might decide you want to have a loop in your mind of something. It won't play all the time but you can spark it to if you concentrate for a moment. It may help you to remind you of something and it could be something you build on. However if it's something you sees as negative or useless you may recall it but your conscious mind will reject it.

	  Nak Khid replied to Alex bliss's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God no there isn't one ounce of truth in it. It is a collection of personality descriptions randomly associated to people's birth dates In reality there is no similarity whatsoever between people with the same birth dates that is caused by them having the same birth dates. It's a lie and a huge business. An entertaining delusion for some

	  Nak Khid replied to Cody_Atzori's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God If someone because enlightened and then decided to start a business starting a business is a skill taught in business classes schools and if you learn it on your own it entails learning many things which here you are referring to as "bullshit" . Another option is to become a monk. That can be done on a temporary basis, a year perhaps

	  Nak Khid replied to Michael Paul's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God Here you are using a relatively much more secular word "The Absolute". I have seen you use similar words said in other statements that you have made using the word "god" and then for a moment switching to "The Universe" and "The Truth", relativity secular words You are speaking here of consensus. The consensus in America of what "God" means is that it is superior being that watches over us, judges us and cares for us, most perceiving it to be a part of a biblical dualistic paradigm. The consensus is that it refers to a being described in the Bible. The word "devils" , by consensus also has a connotation of the Christian or Islamic tradition (but if it is in the same speech as the word "god" probably not connoting Islam since they would be using the word "Allah" ) So if you use the word "god" in America or Europe and some other places, the consensus is that you are referring to "god" as described in the bible. But if you then have to explain to each stranger you meet when you said "god" you mean something else or you tell them "your are god" you would be going against the consensus and expressing you " willy-nilly" variation of the word So why do you ever use the word "God" instead instead using the word "nonduality" or "everything" or "consciousness" or "actualized" or "the universe" or "the Absolute" or "The Truth" or "The All" or "It" ? You do switch to some of these other words at times but you are still using the word "god" much more Instead of using these much more secular words why would someone not referring to a Biblically described God use the word "god" and have to explain to each new person, going against the consensus connotation that you in fact don't mean the biblical version? One reason might be that the word "God" (capital G noted) evokes a sense of authority and these other words don't or are less personal feeling

	Are you asking this because it is impossible for you not to be alone doing it ?

	How beneficial has the self-actualization work been, it sounds organized and you spent a whole 3 years on it

	  Nak Khid replied to Alex bliss's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God Suppose I wrote 12 personality descriptions. different types, nothing too exotic or strange but each different to an a extent Then if we took the U.S. population as an example 329,769,902 then give each if them a card at random with one of the 12 personalities described Randomly some millions of the total group will say "that's not me" Some millions will say " that's kind of me" and some millions will say "that's me exactly" The millions where it's a match or near match if they did not understand these probabilities they might include "Astrology is accurate, I read my chart and that's me to a T " Again we have 329,769,902 . Let's say Astrology has no merit whatsoever. Even if that's the case their birth dates will get assigned astrological personality attributes. Even if that assignment is completely at random a certain percentage, millions, will be a match. Suppose you are rolling dice hoping for 7 you roll and you don't roll a 7. Oh well Now ask 50 people not aware of each other to roll the dice and you will use your mind to make 7 appear. A percentage of then will roll 7 and may think you made it happen with with your mind or used a trick yet neither was employed. Random probabilities sometimes result positively but people misinterpret the cause.

	  Nak Khid replied to Michael Paul's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God I think most of the world that say they believe in God do not mean it means "everything" However for those that do, why not use the word "everything" or "consciousness" instead of "God" and with it's capital G has heavy religious connotations. Why use the word "God" and then have to explain to people you don't mean a separate being that watches over and judges us when if you used another word "nonduality" , "everything" , "consciousness", "The universe" , "existence" may not be perfect but do not have the religious baggage attached like the word "God" does? Trying to align others with your conceptualization is absolutely unnecessary, enforcing words is trivial, having the similar understanding is enough.

	  Nak Khid replied to Michael Paul's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God It's not empty just common. It includes kangaroos. kangaroos are God duct tape is God, jellybeans are God, fleas are God, air is God etc. The wold is full of this stuff, not empty. Everything is not empty it's full. "god" is an English word. All words are God. So why pick this particular one to be special?

	  Nak Khid replied to Vaishnavi's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God Morality is a decision one makes to try to avoid doing harm to living things and the environment ____________________________________________________________________ "if we adopt the principle of universality: if an action is right (or wrong) for others, it is right (or wrong) for us. Those who do not rise to the minimal moral level of applying to themselves the standards they apply to others—more stringent ones, in fact—plainly cannot be taken seriously when they speak of appropriateness of response; or of right and wrong, good and evil." --Noam Chomsky

	  Nak Khid replied to Michael Paul's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God QUOTES FROM SPINOZA'S ETHICS Nothing exists but God God is one, that is, only one substance can be granted in the universe. [I.14] Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived. {I.15] God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things. All things which are, are in God. Besides God there can be no substance, that is, nothing in itself external to God. [I.17] God is the force preserving things in existence Although each particular thing be conditioned by another particular thing to exist in a given way, yet the force whereby each particular thing perseveres in existing follows from the eternal necessity of God's nature. [ii.45] Individual things are expressions of the attributes of God Individual things are nothing but modifications of the attributes of God, or modes by which the attributes of God are expressed in a fixed and definite manner. [i.25.] There is no evil The perfection of things is to be reckoned only from their own nature and power; things are not more or less perfect, according as they delight or offend human senses, or according as they are serviceable or repugnant to mankind. [i. Appendix] Knowledge of God is the highest good The intellectual love of the mind towards God is part of the infinite love wherewith God loves himself … The love of God towards men, and the intellectual love of the mind towards God, are identical. [v.36] The mind's highest good is the knowledge of God, and the mind's highest virtue is to know God. [iv.28] The human mind has ideas from which it perceives itself and its own body and external bodies as actually existing; therefore it has an adequate knowledge of the eternal and infinite essence of God. [ii.47] Our highest happiness is in … the knowledge of god … We may thus clearly understand how far astray from a true estimate of virtue are those who expect to be decorated by God with high rewards for their virtue … ; as if virtue and the service of God were not in itself happiness and perfect freedom. [ii.49] Learning to see God in all things The mind can bring it about, that all bodily modifications or images of things may be referred to the idea of God. [v.14] The more we understand particular things, the more we understand God. [v.24] He who clearly and distinctly understands himself and his emotions loves God, and so much the more in proportion as he more understands himself and his emotions. [v.15] Our mind, in so far as it knows itself and the body under the form of eternity, has to that extent necessarily a knowledge of God, and knows that it is in God, and is conceived through God. [v.30] Acceptance of destiny In so far as we understand the causes of pain, to that extent it ceases to be a passion, that is, it ceases to be pain; therefore, in so far as we understand God to be the cause of pain, we to that extent feel pleasure. [v.18] The wise man … is scarcely at all disturbed in spirit, but, being conscious of himself, and of God, and of things, by a certain eternal necessity, never ceases to be, but always possesses true acquiescence of his spirit. [v.52] The mind has greater power over the emotions and is less subject thereto, in so far as it understands all things as necessary. Proof: The mind understands all things to be necessary and to be determined to existence and operation by an infinite chain of causes, therefore … it thus far brings it about, that it is less subject to the emotions arising therefrom, and feels less emotion towards the things themselves. [v.6] Nature does not work with an end in view Nature does not work with an end in view.For the eternal and infinite Being, which we call God or Nature, acts by the same necessity as that whereby it exists… . Therefore, as he does not exist for the sake of an end, so neither does he act for the sake of an end; of his existence and of his action there is neither origin nor end. [iv. Preface] God is indifferent to individuals God is without passions, neither is he affected by any emotion of pleasure or pain . . . Strictly speaking, God does not love anyone. [V.17] He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return. [V.19]

	  Nak Khid replied to Michael Paul's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God I ADMIT I AM GOD I am God, Hitler is God, Pee Wee Herman is God, a piece of dog crap on the street is God. It's all God However I more commonly go by the name "EVERYTHING" which is more accurate. YOU ARE EVERYTHING There is no other more accurate word for your true nature although "THE UNIVERSE" is also pretty good I only call myself "GOD" when Christians and Jews are around. It has a little more punch to them (but I have to explain it sometimes, not the dualistic version, not the bearded guy in the clouds, so it can get a little sticky)

	  Nak Khid replied to Nak Khid's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God 1) please quote of there is a quote 2) The statement everything = nothing is similar to duality = nonduality Devil = God oness = duality one = all big = small hate = love 3) Given the fact that I am God and everybody else is do the most well known people who speak on and consider themselves nondualists consider themselves theists or atheists? Do most do the most well known people who speak on and consider themselves nondualists use the word God? This is not a rhetorical question I don't know and am not saying that whatever the majority of them do is the correct thing
