In glad what I said makes sense. I thought I might have been going a bit off there.
Yeah, that makes sense. "Of" and "from" tend to be used interchangeably, due to culture; environment; media; education; peer pressure; etc. type of things, but what you said does make more sense. Thanks.

It's not just this thread. I made a reply explaining more, but it wasn't approved. It's been in other threads, and also the Yahoo! Groups, and other websites/forums I've been on - that's part of the reason I made my Offence thread, and I expect HPHC666 made his. All the drama (
cough) gets beyond the joke after a while. (I didn't try and dramatise it, but it's inevitable!)
Perhaps we'll agree to disagree (I don't think I've used that term before, or not for a long, long time. Look - I'm growing! :lol
, and kiss and make-up (but not in public because that would upset my fancy piece AncientShadow666 who likes me fondly, plus it might be embarrassing.

If someone says, e.g., "I am not troubled by X", that's a negation; and again - OK, you're not troubled by it, but either
what are you, or
what are you troubled by?
Saying you are free is not a negation. "I am free from X" isn't a negative point - in fact it's very positive! "I do not have illness" vs "I am free from [specific illness]" (each thing has to be done individually, so the things are not watered-down, rendering the working a waste); the first - what do you have, then? The second - you're free from, away from it. Plus also with the first point "I do not have illness", because you specified illness, then it is vibrated and it is the point of the affirmation, whether affirmed or negated; it was mentioned, so the words are vibrated and the energies are programmed regarding illness.

I do not think affirming being free of something is the same as negating something by using Not.
Putting not in an affirmation is essentially the same as denying the truth stubbornly. Say someone is currently poor (Just the stick with the theme of the examples given) and wants to change this, just affirming "I am not poor." is like denying the truth in the same way as an alchoholic could say they aren't drinking while literally holding their bottle on their lips.
You are only fooling yourself, not changing anything,
....
Perhaps the point of the "I'm free of [...]" is to deprogram the mind from a specific situation that has been bothersome. I notice that many affirmations on the JOS, for example, contains BOTH this (as the initial affirmation) and the description of the final outcome. So, in other words, you're first letting your mind know that "everything is going to be OK" (which is often necessary for big problems where a lot of negative energy has accumulated) which then opens up the mind to accepting the final outcome, like "All is good". So the negation, or whatever we can decide on calling it, works to soften up the mind before the actual programming.
I had a brief thought about using both the negation and positive affirmation in the same affirmation wording, but I forgot what I read so I didn't entertain the thought for long. What you said, about like a preparation for the stronger/direct positive affirmation makes sense, as well. Thanks.

Very thorough and precise information! Thanks a lot to you both for elaborating this much and to everyone else who added useful information about this thread.
Helpfulness is over 9000!.. x)
As for myself I don't have anything to add but my gratefulness^-^ ♥
I'm glad what I said made sense, and it seems to be realised also by others.

Nick, I had typed an entire reply but then decided on a short one which was dismissed.
Youre just attacking people with your way of communication as if something that doesnt fit your likes has to be attacked taken apart or dictated to fit your requirements.
You have to learn that we are not all duplicates of one another and that by doing this you are causing unnessary fighting and disputes in the SS community.
Some people especially newer dedicated ones may be on a lower level than the ones who have been here longer.
Fine you do have the free speech to talk to people about stuff but you should also be considerate of what exactly you are saying.
In case that is to me, then notice all of the fighting and crying that I didn't reply to but saw on this forum and in the Yahoo! Groups. Then notice this one here in this thread which I saw and replied to - and because I replied to the
OP thread I also decided to tell people crying and arguing to fuck off - and because I told them this one single time then that means I'm the baddie, but everyone else since the dawn of time arguing and crying are not the baddies because they keep fighting and crying. OK. There must be logic and sense in there somewhere. I also told NaziMan666 to fuck off once for some of the things s/he said which means either s/he is just confused or a very well-trained and careful j00 trying to spread shit. That direct reply to them, yet they didn't respond, yet my reply to everyone was taken directly and personally by one or two. Interesting. As Nick Vabzircnila said, I could have wet numerous people with some water, and the more sensitive ones would be and were upset. That was a good choice of analogy. People arguing and crying are too hot and bothered. I said to fuck off to the group, not to any individuals, to cool the thread and forum down, since I was in the thread. Now I'm the baddie because they want to keep fighting and crying, all hot and bothered, which makes them not the baddies.
As I also said, and I say again - read my and HPHC666's threads; and as I also said, which I say again - take the crying and fighting to email instead of on here. Any further attempt at negation and defence regarding this will tell me that the troll/s is/are too hungry. (Notice only now how I can also be closed-minded - you/them/anyone not listening to me but instead accusing me of a direct attack; me only now, after numerous replies, accusing you/them/whomever of being trolls and ignoring what you say...)
I could have replied to Stormblood, for example, telling him to not start because others definitely would reply...as they did; or go to other threads and name one or more who were involved in that before, but I didn't, either... I didn't reply to anyone directly. Falling on deaf ears (blind eyes) for the umpteen-to-the-Nth-degree-
ad-nauseum time - I replied to everyone, rather that blaming any individual/s.
That's it.
As we say and agree - n00bs coming here see this, and wonder if its a big bitch-tits fest, when actually-important things need to be focused on, instead of crying and fighting. If no-one said to stop fighting and crying, it would continue. People don't like to be around shit for very long, and n00bs probably wouldn't be confident enough to tell you to stop crying and fighting. Instead, they'd just leave here and struggle on their own or go to a church or false-Satanism. So...take it to email, and leave the forum/groups clean.
(Depending on my mood, I could decide whether me continuing to reply after others reply again and again might be me 'feeding the trolls', as it were, because I know you/they/whomever
will continue replying; thus, proving my point you/they/whomever
must have the last word. I wonder who and how many realised that. Therfore, part of my point has been made and proven. Here comes the...well, quite aptly, the negation, which I wait for.)
Take any or all of none of that as a personal attack or don't - but you and whomever, whatever you/they do, make sure you/they enjoy it.
Generally I'm well-mannered, as I've just been told. Thanks. However, though - of course I don't know what people think when they read my replies, but I would have thought many wouldn't think I was well-mannered. I do "swear" a lot and hate and curse the shit way things are and those whom perpetuate it a lot. I said to fuck off to everyone crying and fighting, because there is so much crying and fighting all of the time, and I did not say it to any individual, and then that made me the baddie. Right...
If it were approved, and people were bothered to do so, I'd invite everyone going through our materials and threads to take honest and genuine shots at me, many would agree with me and many would disagree with me. Some may support me and say I'm correct and just, while others would decide they dislike or hate me. It's fine we (you and I, and Nick Vabzircnila and I) disagree about my first reply in big red font (for emphasis, to make it noticed) - but it was not, and it was not, a direct and personal attack. It was to everyone, anyone, whomever to fight and cry elsewhere, instead.
This is going, and going to continue going, around in circles... I know I didn't say it to anyone directly and personally. Think what you (you yourself, and anyone) want to think. As I say - infer what you (you yourself, and anyone) want to infer, believe what you/anyone want to believe, choose to be offended by what you/anyone want to be offended by.
I am very considerate about what I say. When speaking generally, instead of walking on eggshells, I decide to say things and let any individual person choose to be offended or not. I know some people would be upset and offended, but I made that point months ago in my Offences thread. Maybe I'm notorious for being abrasive - yes? No? Honest and direct - yes, definitely, but I can also un-direct...not direct things to individuals personally. I decided (considered) not to name any individual, but reply to everyone. If I went to someone and told them directly and personally all manner of things wrong with them, whether correct or incorrect, that would be a direct and personal attack, and they would be offended most likely, and rightly so. I didn't do that. I told everyone to fuck off crying and fighting, and take it elsewhere, e.g. to email. I've been told to consider things. Maybe people should consider things when other things are said in relation to those things - being offended is a choice, evidently.
Ignorance must be bliss, apparently. The point is to take the crying and fighting off the forum, and I suggested email. Some like to argue just to have a bitch at people, instead of coming to the conclusion that fighting and crying should be done elsewhere, instead of on here. (I might be cynical and say some
do come to that conclusion, but ignore it and continue regardless, just to bitch.) I used the words "fuck off". So what? If there was only one or two fights, the individuals being told would be told to go away. If more fights happen, then more word/more strength of words are used, i.e. "fuck off". (My actual truth is, as I keep saying, that's just how I talk, but that is not being accepted, so you/Nick Vabzircnila/whomever accept this false truth if it pleases or appeases you.) As I said - I await further defence and negation, rather than expecting a realisation (agreeing with me) about taking fighting and crying elsewhere.
I'm the baddie for telling no individual, but everyone, to stop fighting, in a thread which I replied to already. Sorry for wanting to keep things nice and clean.
