because I don't want to hear how you think I'm dumb and that this is a load of bullshit.
But along with many people, I believe that affirmations can collect like energy in the Universe and can create/bring your desire. I constantly say my affirmations everyday. Are you able to feel your desire spiritually with you, or is it just me?
Again, don't answer if you think this is bullshit. Thanks.......

Dragonflymagic answered Monday October 5 2015, 3:18 pm: On a scientific level I know there are many who believe this and there are those who've written books and gone around the country doing lectures about this. You'll find this belief in the main stream and also in religious groups...especially there. What the general public has heard about is that there is power in positive thinking and not only thinking but verbalizing those positive thoughts with affirmations daily.
I do not quite understand the wording of your sentence: "Are you able to feel your desire spiritually with you, or is it just me?" You'd probably have to re-word it for me to be able to have a chance at answering that.
What I can do is share what I do believe. The bible says we are created in God's image. I believe that is about physical appearance of our mortal bodies, but concerning our souls within those bodies. I believe we have character attributes very similar to God. I also believe that if God was able to create the heavens and the earth and everything upon it by simply speaking the words, that our souls have to some extent the same abilities, to harness positive thoughts and words or affirmations to speak it out and make it happen. However since God gave a will to everyone, He won't force us to do something against anyones will and will not allow us to use affirmations that attempt to force another person to bend to our will. So it really depends on what your focus of affirmations is really about. I do energy healing and have found that what I visualize in my mind begins to happen to the person as long as they are willing and wanting and accepting of help. The other day, I held my hands a few inches away from the head area of a gal in extreme pain from migraine but she was a caregiver and needed to be helping her client. I had the picture in my mind of healing energy funneling down from the universe into me and out the palms of my hands to enter the person and take away the tension and stuff causing her pain. I was multi tasking and having a regular conversation with her at same time, not on the subject and at one point she interrupted me to say the pain was gone. I can do that because I do not have one negative thought that it might not work. I know it works. So its hard to start doing this without a track record of one success at doing so but eventually you can get there. Speaking your affirmations works the same way. Instead of speaking the words "Pain go away, Be healed" which is unsettling for people with a dfferent spiritual belief and puts a person on the defense feeling its more about me wanting to convert them to my belief. SO if you still have a question, just rephrase it and maybe give an example so I know what you meant. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

There is nothing wrong with anything that is legal; that allows you to function to your fullest and be comfortable doing so. If affirmation is your key to comfort and ability to function in your daily life do not let anyone talk you out of it.
By the way Razhie is correct in what she wrote to you. You can not write a question such as this and expect to get answers when you restrict your answers to those that only agree with you. Doing so does not allow you to learn everything. What I believe is the most important part of daily life that allows us to grow and move on is the ability to learn and prosper from what we learn.
Refusing to learn, even if we do not agree with what is offered to us in the way of information, does not allow us to grow. IF we don't grow we become stagnant. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
Razhie answered Saturday October 3 2015, 2:51 pm: If you only want to speak to people who agree with you, you'd be better off trying to find forums or chat rooms full of people who already think as you do.
It's not polite or respectful to ask a question of everyone in an open forum like Advicenators, while immediately rejecting anyone who doesn't already agree with you. It is very rude to DEMAND people only respond to you in an open forum if their personal beliefs and experiences conform to your expectations and beliefs. Of course no one should call you names, but there is a big difference between people being cruel, and people just not believing the same thing as you.
You aren't going to get honest answers from people when you ask a question in this way. You'll scare away people who want to be honest or share their understanding of the world with you, because they will be afraid you'll get angry with them for not agreeing with you enough.
