The True Way of Affirming Your Power to Create
"Affirmation means saying 'yes' to yourself & to the life you lead, & to accepting your own unique person-hood .... Affirmation means that you embrace the life that is yours & flows through you. Your affirmation of yourself is one of your greatest strengths. You can at times quite properly deny certain portions of experience, while still confirming your own vitality. You do not have to say "yes" to people, issues, or to events with which you are deeply disturbed. Affirmation does not mean a bland wishy-washy acceptance of anything that comes your way, regardless of your feelings about it. Biologically, affirmation means health. You go along with life, understanding that you form your experience, emphasizing your ability to do so. Affirmation does not mean sitting back and saying, "I can do nothing. It is all in Fate's hands, therefore whatever happens, happens."....[Affirmation] is the acceptance of your individuality in flesh. Basically it is a spiritual, psychic &d biological necessity, and represents your appreciation of your singular integrity."
[Affirmation] means saying 'yes' to your own being. It means acquiescing to your reality as a spirit in flesh. Within the framework of your own complexity, you have the right to say 'no" to certain situations, to express your desires, to communicate your feelings. If you do so, then in the great flow & sweep of your eternal reality there will be an overall current of love & creativity that carries you. Affirmation is the acceptance of yourself in your present as the person that you are. Within that acceptance you may find qualities that you wish you did not have or that annoy you. You must not expect to be "per-fect"...Your ideas of perfection mean a state of fulfillment beyond which there is no future growth, & no such state exists.
Affirmation always involves the acknowledgment of your power in the present ... Denial is the surrendering of that power. Affirmation then is the acquiescence to your ability, as a spirit within flesh, to form the physical reality of your creature-hood. "
