Affirmations Don’t Work

Affirmations don’t work.

Nor are they even necessary.

Just like every other method, tool, strategy and process.

Because if “all creation is finished”,

and you knew yourself to be what you truly are,

why would you need to affirm what is?

You wouldn’t do such a thing.

The supposed ‘need’ to use affirmations and other methods / tools / strategies / processes to ‘get’ A, B, C, D,

arises from a false premise to begin with.

That something doesn’t already exist.

And you are not already all that is.

And you are trying to bridge that illusory divide — that absolute lie — by affirming something you ultimately don’t believe you have and are.

And that insane split keeps that perceived split in place.

And…

while there is zero power in any tool, method, strategy or process,

(it’s only in you — projected onto the thing)

there is still a place for every tool and process

IF that is what ‘helps’ you ‘believe in’ your innate power to choose what it is you truly want to experience in each moment.

And…

rote affirmations,

though useless on one level,

are useful in that they keep you selective and focused in this moment.

But they are not the ‘creator’ of what is.

You are.

And…

You can’t think or affirm or strategize your way to BEing.

You either experience yourself as IT in this moment or you don’t.

And when you don’t,

you search for ‘ways’ to ‘get’ HERE

(the place you’ve always been)

and then you praise the things

that ‘brought’ you HERE —

the place you never actually left

except through your own delusion.
