Also, a note of experience on using the word “want” in the affirmation statements, proved to me to be wrong to do, even if stated positive, because the actual word “want” means “lack of,” or “always in a state of desire and never getting.” I realized this when experiencing the effect of the strong magnet Jim talked of, with emotional energy, whether positive or negative, and how I was getting exactly that… continual want, and never getting.

So I quite saying “I *want* this to happen,” and instead say: “I *desire* this,’ or even better yet, state it in the past tense, and with gratitude: “I’m so glad I already have this,” in order to attract more of that, whether it exists or not. I’ve found better results that way, and went through great anguish to realize this.

For me I’m always alone, and fear has not been to fear, but what has repeatedly held me back is needing working equipment that is supposed to be new, to not break down on me, and a habitable place to stay in to get my goals done. I can’t further human kind or develop my potential if I’m constantly stuck in the state of survival. I would think that’s the harder part… making things exist that don’t; where fears are just easily addressed with a mental mindshift. Nothing is created, just looked at differently. That’s the easier part.

When all else fails, and only “hope” seems to be left, it is good to be reminded of your “focus” still being there. My friend laughed at me when I told it her took me 3 tries to get through my ‘How to Focus’ book. I thought the irony of it was pretty funny myself, yet what happened. Thanks Jim.

I have been following you for several years and have always admired your honesty. I have read and followed The Secret, and believe in the law of attraction. But a light bulb came into my head the way you explain positive affirmations i.e. The Attitude of Expectancy etc.

Thank you very much Jim
