Cheating Faith
[Legacy Site Article - September 15, 2006]
So, I mentioned a couple of times before that faith is an incremental process. I spoke a little of it in my e-book, The Secrets Of Manifesting Your Reality. In the text I said that you should practice magick towards goals that you can believe in. This in turn affirms your faith and causes it to grow a little, which allows you to set a bigger goal, which in turn will cause your faith to grow a little, which… and so forth.
That sounds like kind of a slow process, right? Well, it is, but if you’re in no big hurry, it works beautifully.
But what if you are in a hurry?
Well I have good news - there is a way to cheat faith! You can create faith much more quickly using the method of suggestion. It has been proven that when a human mind is exposed to something repeatedly, it eventually accepts it. Such is the case with suggestion.
Suggestion can take the form of mantras, but really it’s more about having a focused intent on thinking about your desire/goal many times a day - keeping focused on it and not being affected by adverse thoughts. If you begin to think negatively about your goal, as soon as you notice, catch yourself. Then think positive thoughts again - visualize yourself as having already achieved your goal. Stir up the feeling that achieving your goal will bring to you. Bask in that for a moment, and then resume what you were doing.
This will allow you to undo any negative thoughts that may be working against your manifestation, and also further affirms your goal to be manifested.
In fact, let’s make an exercise out of this. You can remember to affirm your goal many times a day easily if you simply decide that each time that you catch yourself thinking negatively about it (let’s say, if your goal is money then you catch yourself thinking negatively about your finances), do the exercise explained above. Now you have affirmed your creation and stamped out the negative thought all in one blow. By the time you tame your tendency to have negative, undermining thoughts related to your desire, affirmation and suggestion will be a habit. In fact, it will be so ingrained that it will be a regular part of your mental processes.
By that point, you will already know what a powerful creator you are. From that point on you will be able to generate faith very quickly, simply by knowing that that which you desire will absolutely come about.
