This is just one fragment of a much larger way of thinking.

the most curious, strange and amazing land of Ooo.

«Recuerda que la promesa del deseo es la consecución de lo que deseas y la promesa del rechazo el no ir a dar en aquello que se rechaza, y que el que falla en su deseo es infortunado y el que va a dar en el objeto de su rechazo es desdichado. Si sólo rechazas cosas que no son acordes con la naturaleza y que dependen de ti no irás a dar en nada de lo que rechazas. Pero si rechazas la enfermedad o la muerte o la pobreza, serás desdichado. Aparta, pues, tu rechazo de todo lo que no depende de nosotros y ponlo en lo que no es acorde con la naturaleza y depende de nosotros. Aniquila por completo el deseo, al menos en el momento presente. Y es que sí deseas algo de lo que no depende de nosotros, por fuerza serás infortunado; y si algo de lo que depende de nosotros, aún no tienes a tu disposición nada de cuanto sería hermoso que desearas; así que usa solamente el impulso y la repulsión, pero con suavidad, de manera excepcional y sin tensiones.»

Enchiridion de Epicteto.

El Enchiridion o manual de Epicteto, es un breve manual de consejos estoicos compilado por Arriano, un discípulo del filósofo griego del siglo II.

Aunque el contenido se deriva principalmente de los discursos de Epicteto, se trata más bien de una compilación de preceptos prácticos, aplicando la filosofía a la vida diaria.

El libro se trata de un manual para mostrar el camino para alcanzar la libertad ,mental y la felicidad en todas las circunstancias.

El Enchiridion era muy conocido en el mundo antiguo, y fue particularmente empleado en el periodo medieval para su uso en monasterios de habla griega.

affirmations enchiridion · volume I : self concept.

𐙚 enchiridion: a handbook; manual.ㅤ𐙚 affirmation: the assertion that something exists or is true.ㅤ✸ these posts will serve as a source of reference for anyone looking for reassurance and/or affirmations to use for their manifestations.

· i am the one in everything:

i am god. i am the sole creator of this reality. i am the operant power. i am an infinite being. i am a master manifestor. everything that surrounds me is my creation. all existing things owe their presence to me. i am the stem of the flower, i am the roots of the tree. i am the one in everything. I AM.

why would it be hard for a god to get what they want? i am all-powerful. i am omnipotent. i can create anything, i can bring anything to life. i can have anything i want. my mind is limitless, my imagination is the source of all existence. i place all of my faith upon myself for i am the onliest god.

i am not the three-dimensional body i am now occupying, i am my mind. i am not this empty shell. i am greater than what its senses perceive. i am awareness and i am aware of what is true and what is false. my consciousness is the only truth. everything outside of it is of my conception and therefore mutable.

· i am free to feel:

i am worthy of my desires, i deserve whichever it is i want. i have no reason to feel guilt or hopelessness when it comes to my manifestations. no matter how hard life can get, it does not come in the way of my desires. i am free to feel whatever emotions arise from the outer world and its situations, i am a god but i am a human too, and i know that gloomy feelings, whichever their nature may be, have no effect over my desires. i am gentle with myself and i let myself feel whatever it is i need to feel when things get hard and the world seems like too much, because i know it won't last forever and i have the power to make it all better when i am ready to do so.

· i am all-powerful:

once i become aware of a desire and assume its end result is now mine, the desire comes to fruition. there is nothing left to want, there is nothing to wait for or hope for or expect. my desires are not separate from me, they do not exist in a realm separate from the one i inhabit because there is nothing and nowhere but my self. my desires are god-given for i am god and i gave them to me myself. my desire is alive in my consciousness and since my consciousness is the only reality, my desire is real and already in my possession. what i have in my mind is what i truly have.

there is no time delay to my manifestations because time does not exist unless i want it to. there is no resistance to my manifestations because nothing can oppose my power. there is nothing that i cannot have. there is nothing that is impossible.

all i have to do is affirm and persist in it because, how could it not come to pass? how could i possibly fail? how could a god ever face defeat? that is the only impossible thing: failure.
