Compiled by Konrad Jaszowski

Technical issues concerning the idea and the building of sentences when working with intentions.

The word (–not) added while working with intentions to some word means that it is worth naming it as an opposite, or even independently, during the process, finding and speaking any synonyms that come to mind together with their opposites.
e.g. — being poor, sick, it is good also to say it with its opposite
–being poor, sick, –not being poor, sick
This allows one immediately to move a given pattern as broadly as possible in different aspects, also in its opposite. It is also worth knowing that Souls often think, claim, that they do not have such opposite patterns, e.g. that they are not idolaters, as in a given case, with a given word.
Another example:
A woman’s Soul denies having once been a bad mother. So adding the negating word – not being a bad mother may allow her to understand the state in which she finds herself.
Being a bad mother, –not being a bad mother–
“Oh, absolutely not, never in my life! These are not my patterns. What I do is my private matter.” [-Very often a Soul says or thinks this about itself
