What are Cosmic Affirmations?

Affirmations can be used to improve the quality of your thoughts at a personal level. It is not difficult to grasp how a positive attitude can create a more attractive and amenable personality, so that other people respond more positively in return.

However, there is another aspect to affirmations, and that is how positive thoughts are transmitted to the universe. This is an area that requires a leap of faith, although there is also sound evidence for believing that such a form of communication is possible.

Firstly, let’s look at what this deals with. The suggestion here is that we are a minuscule part of a cosmic whole. That cosmic whole is the creator of everything in the universe and it goes by various names. Some obviously refer to it as God or the Divine; others who are not religious call it the Universal Mind, Universal
Consciousness, or Cosmic Power. As we are a part of it, so our thoughts are connected with it, and we can therefore communicate our thoughts and desires to it. As it is the ultimate creator of everything in existence, and continues to be so, it is thus able to reply to our desires and create the exact circumstances in our lives that we have requested. However, just like our own minds, the Universal Mind is an order-taker and so we have to be extremely careful what we ask for, i.e. think of.

It is not unusual for people to balk at this idea. We look in the mirror and see a separate entity, connected to nothing else around us in physical terms other than the ground we stand on. Our border is defined by our skin, and it is therefore easy to doubt a connection to anything outside ourselves. However, your cell phone is also a separate entity, yet you do not deny its ability to connect you with another person on the other side of the world with no wires involved. Why then is it such a leap to suppose there is a form of communication that might allow our thoughts to be sent half way around the world, and to all parts of the world?

There is certainly plenty of anecdotal evidence of telepathic abilities in humans, and many laboratory tests have proven that information can be transmitted from one person’s mind to another in a remote location. Perhaps this is the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps these people are just the select few who are cognizant of their abilities. It might be that we all have this power but are not sufficiently aware of it to bother trying to channel it.

Thankfully, to a certain extent, science can help us overcome our doubts about universal communication. In scientific terms, everything in the universe is made up of just one thing: atoms. The atom is a basic unit of matter consisting of a central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively-charged electrons. Although this matter may take on different forms – solid, liquid, gas and plasma – so that we see different objects all around us, everything is matter.

More importantly, the atoms in your body are actually 99.99% vacuum, which means pure energy. These are the same atoms that are found in everything else in the universe. Energy is in us, flows through us, and is all around us. We may not be able to see it, but we are all connected to each other and to everything else in the universe. Although it is certainly not proof beyond a reasonable doubt, it does at least provide a theoretical reason why your affirmations can be carried far and wide.
