The affirmation can even be reduced to a single word. This makes it easier to use, and concentrated in effect. Such simplicity is more akin to the Overself than to the intellect; therefore this type of affirmation should not be dwelt on analytically, not examined and probed with a logical scalpel, but merely held closely, repeated slowly and frequently until the mind is saturated with it. It may be used both inside and outside the special meditation periods. In the latter case, it is defensive against attack from lower thoughts.
