Afformation
af = to
+
formation = form
This brand-new word delights me. It is a coinage of my friend Noah St. John who had a marvelous realization about the human psyche. Humans, like Google, function much better by asking questions rather than through the use of affirmations, which are positive thoughts designed to produce intended results.
When we use affirmations, the subconscious mind in one form or another calls us liars. “I’m thin.” Yeah, right? You get the picture. An afformation, on the other hand, asks a question designed to keep our minds on what we want rather than what we don’t want. “Why is it so easy for me to be thin?”
The roots of this word come from the Latin. An afformation gives form to what we want. It lets us use our subconscious minds the way they’re designed to be used: as a servant to answer our questions. Ask: How can I keep mind my on the forms of what I do want rather than what I don’t want today?
Infinition: Afformations set me free from what I no longer to manifest in my life. I work with my mind to create the life I do want from now on.

Thank You Susan,
This really is one to ponder. I truly believe the power of affirmation is in the frequent repetition of it. I also think it is the conscious mind calling us liars, as we are told the subconscious does not make value judgments. The effect is the same though, the conscious is messing with our subconscious programming. Again it is the regular and frequent repetition of the command which overrides the counter commands. In time our conscious wearies of the struggle and ceases to say, Yeah, Right! This is how television created consumers. We all see commercials and say, Yeah, Right! But over time, our resistance to the message fades and we simply accept the same information we once resisted.
I suspect the afformation is effective because it does not meet resistance and we might manifest our desires with much less repetition or manifest more quickly with much repetition. If we look to the first chapter of Genesis, we see the key to creation and manifestation is in allowance. Let us. I think this plural form also implies the support of the collective, as in the Lord's Prayer – give us. So my view says we might modify Deepak's every day, in every way, I increase in health and fitness, to: every day, in every way, let us increase. I see no conscious resistance in allowance. No, Yeah, Right!… I don't know when I might have made this discovery without the assistance you provided by this post, so I thank you for a powerful blessing by provoking some clarification.
Let us daily increase in: wisdom, love, gratitude, reverence, healing, peace, joy, happiness, laughter and prosperity.
