Where your thought is, there you are. What you meditate upon, you will become, for you are your Consciousness.
The I AM decrees and affirmations are formulated consciously and precisely. They are expressed in the first person, in the present tense, and always in affirmative form, recognizing the immediate action of the Divine Presence in the life of the student. Each affirmation clearly names the quality that is being invoked and directs attention toward the energy one wishes to manifest. By stating one’s own name and pronouncing the key word with precision, the student establishes a direct relationship between thought, word, and energy, allowing the invoked quality to act within their consciousness and in their world.
To decree, affirm, meditate, or invoke effectively, the student first seeks to establish an inner state of calm, attention, and clarity. These practices do not consist merely of repeating words, but of consciously directing thought, feeling, and intention toward a specific divine quality. When the mind becomes quiet and attention is focused, the spoken word gains greater strength and meaning.
This inner state can be reached at any time and in any place, even in the midst of daily activities or with people around. What is essential is the ability to direct one’s attention toward the Divine Presence and to hold with conviction the quality one wishes to manifest. When thought, feeling, and word act in harmony, the invoked energy finds a clear channel through which to express itself in the life of the student.
“My Being is greater than my ego.”
The art of being begins when a person learns to know themselves with honesty, to recognize their inner nature, and to organize their life from that deeper center. It is not a matter of denying the ego, but of understanding it and placing it in its proper role within consciousness.
This process involves three fundamental movements. First, self-awareness, which allows one to observe thoughts, emotions, and reactions with clarity. Then, self-acceptance, which recognizes one’s own qualities and limitations without inner conflict. Finally, self-affirmation, through which the individual expresses in daily life the highest possibilities of their nature.
When these three aspects are integrated, the human being ceases to act from reaction or insecurity and begins to live from a broader consciousness, where the inner Being guides and harmonizes experience.
“My change, my inner revolution, is in progress.”
I feel capable of achieving things, of overcoming problems, of moving forward. I trust in my abilities to face life despite my limitations.
Self-esteem is the sum of confidence and respect for myself.
“I feel in harmony with everything that surrounds me.”
We must recognize that only we ourselves can bring about change. In reality, no one else has that responsibility or that capacity. Perhaps some of us think that the best in us was produced by other people.
