Mark M's Razor:
"Of two competing non- or unverifiable theories, the more astonishing theory is to be preferred."
"We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough."
--Niels Bohr
Above is prefatory to the following assertion:
"The waking state as you think of it is a specialized extension of the dream state...
"The waking state, then, has its source in the dream state..."
--Seth/Jane Roberts, Session 898, _Dreams, "Evolution," and Value Fulfillment_, Vol. 1
Frame any affirmation positively:
"I will remain well and healthy"
as opposed to "I will not get sick."
Tell yourself "I will only react to constructive suggestions" and "Every day in every way I am getting better and better" and "I love myself unconditionally."
Say at any time but before sleep gives affirmations an added "boost."
