Thank you O.a.l. for the replies. Really intriguing that I'm not harming the outcome with using such high and mighty positive clauses, if anything I'm generating a better template either a pre-constructed scenario or a new scenario.
Also personalizing I see how important it is. I'll add "way for me" for the sky blue fat loss.(Not fat quite skinny in fact, just want to avoid some build up on my belly.)
Final questions:
1. When stating a affirmation, it's mentioned by both people and the JoS website. Affirmations are short, present-tense to the point. Just how short do they have to be for maximizing their effect? How well or how badly illogically sounding should the affirmation be created compared to grammar logic?(I know it's not proper grammar but it sounds really weird that energy understands affirmations in such manner)
Just how short should an affirmation be?
2. I asked this before but wasn't satisfied with the answer. But present-tense only correct? or can past-tense be used?
(Ex: My center Ajna chakra is eternally opening and empowering [insert positive clause] vs. My center Ajna chakra is eternally opened and empowered [insert positive clause]. One is present-tense (opening/empowering) the other is past-tense (opened/empowered). So which is appropriate? present-tense and only present-tense or is past-tense allowed?)
I've seen some people post past-tense and while present tense doesn't sound right opening and empowering because it sounds to me like it is in the act of opening and not opened already. When WILL it open completely pops into my head.
3. Does the positive clause extend the affirmation?(In other words how careful should I be with positive clauses and length of statements)
Ex: Been using for Hatha/K-Y; (My witchpower is eternally raising and the powers of my soul is eternally amplifying in the most happiest, most beneficial, and most healthiest way for me). I guess I can shorten it to (My witchpower and powers of my soul are eternally raising and amplifying in the most happiest, most beneficial, and most healthiest way for me.)
4. I spoke to Shael over email and he mentioned when directing the energy you should visualize the end result. He mentioned the energy embeds itself into the World and materializes the end result on it's own way or ways. Is this the correct method to visualize(direct) the energies? Visualize the end result, ignore how you get it?
(I'm assuming since we aren't advanced like the Gods pointing the energy to the end result allows it to work better rather than coming up with a specific scenario since we are ignorant about advanced knowledge and materializing something specifically.)
5. It's mentioned by the JoS webpage. Directing should occur during programming. So when I'm stating affirmations either outloud in normal, voice or in my mind. I should be directing at the same time. Is this the correct way to use the remaining two steps of witchcraft, programming and directing?
P.S.: I just want to point out I've never delved into my creative(Yin) side of my brain. I'm a thinker, I use my brain a lot and often lose myself in daydreaming quite often. I'm sure being mindful with mindfulness(void) would help a lot. But doing it on and off over the years, it never impressed me or anything. I'm aware the point is thought control albeit I wish not to control my thoughts just experience the fun and enjoyment of mindfulness(void).
So I hope you understand my questions are logical(Yang)-based questions and not creative(Yin). In other words by pure logic not by intuition. There is feeling, intuition, and logic applied but mostly through my brain.
