    Prologue

    The Little Engine That Could

    We all have our childhood memories. There was no such thing as I can't while growing up.

    tmp_c127e28a19600abfbfc3fc43241672c6_DivEeW_html_4d7cdd03.jpg Those words, I can't, would elicit a rapid trip to the bookshelf by my mother who would read, yet again, of the little engine that could. That meant the mantra for the day was, I think I can!

    As an adult, we tend to forget how this self-talk mantra was valuable. Life weighs heavily upon us and we begin to feel buried, stuck, immobile. The I can't creeps back in. Discouragement becomes the order for the day.

    For those who want to escape this downward free-fall, then look up. Look up to a Higher Power that can lift you to the mountain top, over the hill, and down to the plain below where it is flat and smooth going. The relief the little engine felt when the summit was behind him was exhilarating. His tune changed to I thought I could! when success was reached.

    Affirmations are like that. They affirm, assert, uphold, sustain, confirm and announce, I can! And just like the little steam engine, pretty soon YOU CAN. Think of affirmations like the other little steam engine that was willing to help pull the load. We all have that extra power within us to overcome the burdens.

    Looking to this Higher Power for fulfilling your inner potential is linked to the connection between your consciousness, your sub-consciousness and your super-consciousness. There are ample affirmations to hone in to these parts of yourself. I might even say that affirmations are paramount in gaining access to everyday aspects of your conscious desires.

    In this book of affirmations, an overview to affirmations will be explored in Part I. There are many ways in which affirmations can be explained, categorized, implemented and evaluated. This book is not the last authority on such a huge subject, but should be able to give you a firm foundation to practice affirmations as part of a daily routine.

    Yes, life can weigh us down. Then let's use that weight as an opportunity to look into life and what we expect from it. The nine essential aspirations of life will begin this foundational journey.

    tmp_c127e28a19600abfbfc3fc43241672c6_DivEeW_html_4ed6cdb2.jpg They are the same aspirations found in Feng Shui, an ancient system of dividing up the compass into its four cardinal points, its four intermediate ordinal points, and then the center. Each of these nine places has been called palaces. There isn't an aspiration in life that wouldn't fit nicely into one of these nine palaces.

    While this isn't a book on Feng Shui, the charted compass gives an orderly look at the aspirations and helps to keep each one clear. For those familiar with Feng Shui, you will notice that the numbering will be kept the same as the nine palaces, but the chart orientation will be reversed so that North is on top and South is at the bottom. It is easier for those not familiar with Feng Shui to follow along.

    tmp_c127e28a19600abfbfc3fc43241672c6_DivEeW_html_m63b2bfce.jpg tmp_c127e28a19600abfbfc3fc43241672c6_DivEeW_html_243b6371.jpg

    We begin our journey at the North - Water (1), then travel to the Southwest – Big Earth (2), over to the East – Big Wood (3), then to the Southeast – Small Wood (4). From here we head to the Center – Tai Chi (5). Next we go to the Northwest – Big Metal (6), on to the West – Small Metal (7), across to the Northeast – Small Earth (8), and finally to the South - Fire (9). Our journey is complete.

    Each of the nine chapters in Part II will follow this pattern giving ample affirmations to sustain the journey. Your job will be to find the life aspiration that needs affirming or support, go to that chapter and find an affirmation that will be helpful. Each chapter will also encourage you to write your own affirmations to suit your very individualistic desires. Once you get the idea of affirmations in general, you will have no trouble making up your own.

    As you come across other affirmations from other sources, it is suggested that you find out which aspiration it best fits, and then make a journal to supplement this book's basic foundation. Affirmations number in the thousands, so there should be no end to your discoveries.

    Be that little engine that could!

    Introduction

    Taking Hold of Life

    Applying Karmic Law

    Affirmations are akin to The Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction and Karmic Law are similar in that they basically state, what you give out is what you will get back. Whatever you sow is what you will reap. Every Cause has an Effect.

    tmp_c127e28a19600abfbfc3fc43241672c6_DivEeW_html_mb3325c3.jpg Whatever you give your attention to, or energy to, or focus to, that is what you will get back. It is like a magnet, it attracts back to you that which you put out.

    If you give your time and energy to your impoverished plight, Karmic Law will ensure that you will remain in poverty. If you focus on an unhealthy lifestyle, you'll get back poor health. The good news is that this can be reversed. You can give your attention to prosperity, and then that is what you will get. You can put your energy into good health, and that is what you will get.

    The Law of Attraction is like gravity. Gravity works on you whether you know of it or not, whether you like it or don't like it, whether you believe it or don't believe it. You don't have to know about gravity (like a baby), you don't have to like it (you would rather be free to soar to the heavens), you don't have to believe it (you're sure that levitation is possible).

    tmp_c127e28a19600abfbfc3fc43241672c6_DivEeW_html_32d9211d.jpg But step out of a 20-story building into thin air, and gravity will exact its toll. It doesn't care if you are a baby, an adult, a felon, a philanthropist, a butcher, a baker or candlestick maker. Gravity will take you DOWN!

    However, affirmations are a way of recognizing the Law of Attraction and Karmic Law and how they operate. Affirmations turn not knowing into knowing, not liking into liking, and not believing into believing. Affirmations are sowing positive seeds, so the Law of Attraction can have you reap positive plants. Affirmations are a positive Cause being sent out, so Karmic Law can now send you a positive Effect.

    In this book, affirmations will be explored. These will be looking to a Higher Power to fulfill inner potentials. We are made up of body, mind, and spirit. These are linked to our conscious, sub-conscious and super-conscious self. There are plenty of affirmations to make a connection to the Universe. To understand this connection is to make it a simple matter to then affirm any of your heart's desire. It many times is stated as becoming One with this Power Source. You are not separate from it, but connected to it at all times as One.

    Forbidden Affirmations

    It seems strange to tell you that some affirmations are forbidden to you, but it is true.

    tmp_c127e28a19600abfbfc3fc43241672c6_DivEeW_html_12cd250f.jpg

    If you come across any affirmation that you don't understand, don't believe the basic premise, or think it is down-right silly, then DO NOT do them. For example, if you don't agree with past karmic lives (reincarnation), ESP, or telepathy then those affirmations are forbidden to you. The Universe will know of your disagreement or ridicule of such a subject and will not answer you. You need not waste your time, or the energy of the Universe.

    tmp_c127e28a19600abfbfc3fc43241672c6_DivEeW_html_7890faa0.jpg However, if you look into any subject that seems foreign to you and
