\nEssentially, our mind does not<\/strong> understand the concept of \u2018<\/em>not<\/em><\/strong>‘.
\n<\/em>What action do you take if I say: Please <\/em>don’t<\/em><\/strong> write your name.<\/em>
\nNothing!
\nI don’t want sickness, I don’t want poverty<\/em> and so on, are absolutely useless statements.
\nYour mind will look at them and see …nothing.
\nI’m tired of being sick and poor<\/em> will, at best, get you agreement that yes, indeed you are<\/span> tired and sick \/poor.
\nBy using Positive Thinking you cannot phrase something in these useless-to-your-mind ways.<\/p>\n
\nI am well. I am rich. I am,<\/em> …etc.<\/p>\n
\nWhat you say has, at its base, the exact opposite<\/span> meaning \/effect.
\nI want money<\/em> clearly states you don’t<\/em><\/strong> have it. (And you are Positive you don’t<\/span>!)
\nI am Healthy<\/em>.<\/em> OK, so if you are<\/span>, then why are you saying this!
\nSee, your basic premise is there’s something there that’s exactly opposite<\/strong>.
\nAnd you try to be positive about what you ‘know’<\/strong> is negative.
\nIt is this \u2018knowing’ that continues the unwanted state.<\/p>\n
