The Influences of US Double Standard in Human Rights in Present World as a Full Metal of Jacket

Introduction

In terms of foreign policy, exceptionalism in the post-cold war era has created some troubling dilemmas:

First: the selection multilateralism as an option in foreign policy, not an obligation.

Second: exceptionalism as a key concept in American cultural studies that means, “American exceptionalism has been historically referred to as the perception that the United States differs qualitatively from other developed nations, because of its unique origins, national credo, historical evolution, and distinctive political and religious institutions”. As you know, this may bread arrogance, because it is being constantly repeated to the inhabitations of the US.

Third: is that exceptionalism may encourage the view that the ends are more important than the means, which in turn may promote hypocrisy and double standards.

Lipset as an American exceptionalism expert has said: “In a country that stresses success above all , people are led to feel that the most important thing is to wine the game , regardless of the methods employed in doing so such as Guantanamo By and Abu- Guriab.

When “Amnesty International” in May 2005 access the use of ” serious human rights violation ” because of Guantanamo prison, vice- president Dick Cheney expressed his disbelief that the United States could be described as a violator of human rights, as though such a charge was simply unthinkable”. (These cases is selected of class argument by Dr. Saeedabadi)

After this summery, I want to start the main argument about US Double Standard policy in human rights especially after President Bush took power in the Republican Party of the US. I start the argument with a philosophical point that talks about the total and the part.

There are three kinds of connection between the total and the part:

In the second part, the total represents itself by suppression and control of all parts the most manifest of which is the conflict between modern rationality and the total structure values and institutions. In this conflict, total structure such as human rights, common franchise in contrast with detail( part), regarding the equality before law are defined in contrast with detail differences such as gender, ethnicity , religion, nationality and it is claimed that all people around the world enjoy those rights independent from ethnicity, nationality, belief and gender.

On the other hand, in order that the total order proves truthfulness, the detail (part) order finally should be punished. This is another definition of globalization, but in third part or post-modern position, the pure and similar total represents through keeping and even aggravating the differences.

But in this time, these differences are inflationary randomly, meaningless and separately parts and don’t have any connection together, as a result these cases are represented with form of ethnical and religious prejudices and finally as a kind of fundamentalism that one of them are meaningless and irrelevant toward modern rationality. This condition that is based on generality insignificancies is increasingly observed in great American urbane especially in “New York” , the place that has different groups together in one general position that means capital market, consumption society and technological and medially culture. This is as an example for US Double Standard policy.

Iraq Abuses as an End of American Narrative

Most of the Guantanamo prisoners were and are deprived of their natural rights and the order and law of Geneva Conventions were not executed about them.

The Bush administration says that those men were all combatant, but has refused to treat them as the laws require.

“Under the Geneva Conventions, combatants captured in an international conflict must be treated as prisoners of war unless and until a ‘‘competent tribunal determines that a specific prisoner is not entitled to that status. The U.S. government chose not to convene such tribunals for the Afghanistan war captives even though it has routinely convened them in past hostilities “.2

But, the United States said that no one of the Taliban group was entitled as POW and most experts in international law opposed this claim and found it as an untenable speech.

In the other war, that is, Iraq war the United States insisted that no members of Al Qaeda deserved Geneva Conventions protection.

Some of these Guantanamo detainees were released but hundreds remain for long time and held without charges.

It seems good that it is talked about three categories of Prisoners at Guantanamo are unlawfully and untenably detained:

“1. The first group is Taliban soldiers. In the war between Afghanistan and America, the Geneva Conventions permitted the United States to hold as prisoners without charges members of the Taliban government’s armed forces. But that war ended in June when the Hamid Karzai government assumed power in Kabul. The laws of war do not permit the continued detention of those soldiers unless they are being prosecuted for war crimes or other offenses. They should be released and repatriated.

“2. The second group consists of civilians who — according to news reports quoting unnamed U.S. intelligence officials — were mistakenly sent to Guantánamo. The laws of war permit the internment of civilians in a war only when such detention is imperative for security reasons. If there are indeed civilians at Guantánamo who have no connection to the Taliban or Al Qaeda and who are not being prosecuted, they too must be released.

“3. At least some suspected Al Qaeda members apprehended far from Afghanistan may have been brought to Guantánamo. Six, for example, were picked up in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The laws of war do not apply to persons who were not captured on a battlefield and who have no direct connection to an armed conflict “.3

President George W. Bush has repeatedly said that the war against terrorism is a war of values. This speech has published by President Gorge W. Bush as starter of Middle East wars, in the time that all people around the world observe the manifest breaking of human rights even rights of nonmilitary and also without any anxiety and worry about is result.

“The mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners by US soldiers was an inevitable outcome of the United States’ long-term exertion of hegemony and power politics in the world,” said Dong Yunhu, vice-chairman and secretary-general of the China Society for Human Rights Studies. He also added : ” The United States always pursued a double standard in the human rights sector, and it regarded itself as the incarnation of human rights, often criticizing other countries’ human right ‘problems’ and forcing other countries to obey international conventions on human rights, while it ignored its own human rights problems and willfully offended international convention Dong pointed out that the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US soldiers ruined mankind’s basic dignity and ruthlessly trampled human rights.4

And also Chen said as a suggestion: “the fundamental solution to the prisoner abuse scandal is hinged on a fundamental change of US human rights policies. The United States should acknowledge its own problems in the human rights sector and give up its human rights double standard when dealing with international affairs “. Also I can refer to other experts who talk about US Double Standard such as Roger Normand who is executive director of the Center for Economic and Social Rights, he said: “(Human rights) violations by the United States, such as the torture scandal in Iraq, have global repercussions”.5

Normand, who is currently working on a book on the United Nations and human rights, told IPS. He argued that Washington goes so far as to deny the very application of international law to its own actions and consistently covers up abuses by allies like Israel.

”This policy of double standards and U.S. exceptionalism poses a threat to the very existence of the human rights framework,” 6

So many of International law experts find fault with Bush’s attack as” war on terror” including interior experts and outer once and had criticized the trend of US foreign policy. In other word, in contrast with the new role of US that is protection of international and domestic security; the US has shifted to great treatment of international security.

Interventionism or Human Rights

“Human Rights” as an objective concept conflict with the principle of moral autonomy, and from an excuse and hegemony justification for oppression. Any oppression and interference with other people can be justified by claiming that it is necessary and useful to respect and establish certain rights and in other word , ” Human Rights” even the other people don’t want it. This is a gift that it wasn’t asked for that.

The things that west, especially the United States, thinks of its own, similar to Democracy, Liberty and other things ; they are seen as a gift, as I said, which the west must bring to the rest of the world that again named ” threat” without any logical reason.

In contrast with the policy of Double standard that American governors and administration in different times confirm and follow, it must be said that universal human rights and sovereignty that is collected by way of military intervention or any kind of intervention which is a kind of intervention in countries’ internal affairs, are two separate issues. But this was and is the standard view among foreign policy elites that possibly believe in universal human rights, but also in national sovereignty.

But it is clear to all that a justification of intervention does not logically follow human rights, even if those rights are violated. The superpowers in the world use various propaganda; for example there is the assertion that military intervention is necessary in the face of clear human rights violations as a kind of emotional propaganda. Some of the events are very clear and don’t need more explanation; for instance, the children that were dead because of ethnical dispute around the world for example in Bosnia; this is wrong and it doesn’t need the reading of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that says:

- Free and equal personhood: all human beings are born free and equal.

- Equal dignity: free and equal in dignity, free and equal in dignity.

- Equal creation or endowment: they are endowed with reason and conscience.

- Equal brotherhood: a spirit of brotherhood.

- Human agency: endowed with reason and conscience”. (Ignatieff, 2001, 6)7 to know it is wrong.

Even, in one country one will observe some behaviors as the torture that is, automatically, a reason of intervention such as military intervention and each of these countries including that the US owns that entitlement.

Each area needs to separate moral justification. I should add it that human rights interventionism is in any case historically recent.

“For centuries great powers justified their wars, with speaking of human rights. The atrocity story is a traditional part of wartime propaganda, but it is only since the 1950′s that it is called a ‘human rights violation’ – And not every legitimating of intervention is formulated in human-rights terms – the Genocide Convention, for instance, simply prohibits genocide. But in the media and political rhetoric, these formal distinctions are often ignored. (Genocide is referred to as a ‘human rights violation’, although it is more accurate to call it a crime in international law). Since the emergence of the mass media in 19th-century western states, it is the emotional impact of the atrocity story which counts”.8

I referred, in previous lines, that western powers try to consider and justify foreign interventionism wars by reference to human rights abuse, and other atrocities, while commit a great abuse in Iraq and established the centers of human rights abuse in Guantanamo and Abu-ghoriab that I referred to in previous paragraph. I should add a human right is an ethical construction used to justify a harmful act against another person, by claiming that undergoing the harmful act is an absolute moral entitlement, and that structurally the harmful action can not be judged morally wrong.

“In organizations like the NATO or the OSCE, the free market and human rights are always referred to together, as if they were the same thing. And because of that, in practice, they are. The long-term geopolitical reality is of an ideological war of global conquest, by a small number of market-democratic states: human rights form part of the ideology of this conquest”. 9

The supporting of human rights is the supporting of trade, free market and to reconstruct similar and uniform thinking. In other word, the glob goes to accumulation of culture and policy in all areas.

The protection of human rights political goal has another result in culture. According to the Max Horkheimer and Theodor. W. Adorner’s approach that talk about Industry of cultural unifying in the “Dialectic of enlightenment: Culture transfers unity to all of the things. It is American globalization. The perspective publishes similar values in the entire world:

Democracy, freedom and human rights-in the world that unifying culture happens all people think similarly and as the result act similarly. I can talk about this position in three areas of economic, political and cultural places.

In the economic area when culture becomes uniform, it is easy to control customer markets and the position of market is always saved.

In the politic area, if we have even any movement in the society because all people think in a uniform way, the government authorities can guess the direction of movements and finally can control conditions, and in cultural area , “all of the details of massive culture is similar”.( Horkheimer and Adorno,211)

The result of this industry (the cultural production’s industry) is the same circle that includes washing of human mind and fictitious needs by which the unity of the system is reinforced. This is briefly one reason of the moral duty and the American main role in the world that is fixed by military intervention and is justified by protection of human rights.

“The armed forces of the western powers have been busier since 1989 than they ever were during the Cold war, and the legitimizing language for this activity has been the defense of human rights. Yet the juridical status of a right of intervention is exceedingly unclear. (Simpson, 1999, 9)10

“Human rights may be universal, but support for coercive enforcement of their norms will never be universal. Because interventions will lack full legitimacy, they will have to be limited and partial, and as a result, they will be only partially successful”. (Ignatieff, 2001, 43)11

So, another area represents the concept of “double standard” policy except for news media is the area of art especially, the seventh art, cinema in virtual art especially in painting so many annually fair is disposed of pop art or new art, that they completely represent the binary characteristics within the American society.

The contrast that promotes and justifies the interventionist war, on the other hand, is a leader in exporting of “Human rights” and “democracy around the world. I want to criticize my approach with the sample of best American movies made by “Stanley Kubrick”. This movie is named “Full Metal Jacket”. This movie is first and last experience of him in war movies area and it is one of the most important of warfare movies in the cinema history. His movie has a lot of dialogs in which each of the characters completely represents American insight out. American narrative is including images, music, places and artists. The movie starts with showing various exercises that enters army and newly arrived riflemen and spectator finds out that in this center only violence and aversion and killing is educated. The commanders camping regularly emphasizes that you are here to kill, killing is your only job. During the education spectator observes different reactions on the side of members camping. There are different and also strong reactions against this position: the soldier that kills himself and also his commander and another soldier with honorable name it means joker is completely the sample of Americans who carry out so many conflicts with themselves. It must be said that dark comedy that there in comparison to his other movies in this movie mocks American logic with most caustic form. In the part of movie one of the commanders who are riflemen chief describes joker to nauseating joke fun. He has written on his camp that he is born to kill and has sewed on his cloth a kind of peace arm! I refer to this part of movie in this page to better understanding the author’s point of view. It means that it shows completely US double standard in international relationship:

“Colonel: rifleman! What is this tuber on your military clothing?

Joker: its peace arm, sir!

Colonel: where did you get it?

Joker: I don’t remember, sir!

Colonel: what is it in your hat?

Joker: it’s a sentence: “I was born for killing”, sir!

Colonel: you write on your that “I was born for killing” and then on your cloth put an arm of peace?! What are their meanings? A kind of nauseating joke?

Joker: no, sir!

Colonel: it’s better then that you’re harmonic, otherwise I’ll throw a big impurity toward you.

Joker: yes, sir!

Colonel: now, answer to my question, otherwise hang you.

Joker: I think, I want to infusion an approach about human’s double position.

Colonel: what?!

Joker: human opposites, it’s a concept of Carl Jung, sir!

Colonel: what is your side, my son?

Joker: our side, sir!

Colonel: do you like your country?

Joker: yes, I do; sir!

Colonel: then, why don’t you come to the team toward a great conquest?

Joker: yes, sir!

Colonel: my son! I want from my riflemen just to obey of my order similar to God order. We come here to helping at “Vietcong” because there is an American inside each “Vietcong”, that want to come out.

The world is very violence, my son!

We should keep our head until this mania of peace come out it.

Joker: yes, sir! “.

The tendency to the peace is described to mania while the goal of this appearance in that county _Vietnam _ is defined as a helping, it was a clear example of “Double standard” policy.

Joker is a complete symbol of this conflict and contrast, while he is a reporter (also, reporter is a symbol of frankness and freedom) he wants also to be first one that has murdered a person between his neighbors:

“Joker: I want to understand that beautiful Vietnam, the bezel of Asia east southern. I want to see the people that have ancient and attractive culture …and kill them. I want to be first person who kills between neighbors”.

It is interesting to know that these personalities are shown justifiable, the symbol of interventionism policy and also pro-human rights. This movie is very successful to show the nihilism system that is up on present organizations.

Finally, I should say that American human rights policy with its interventionist approach in the world is as a” full metal jacket”; the metal jacket that reduces the space for people around the world. If in the past these helps of human rights was supported and justified by” anti- communism discourse”, in present day it is supported by ” war on terror discourse” . In this time, all of the affaires are considered in terms of security and threat, and also the United States leader of world and has a moral duty.

Increasingly, the argument that superpowers have a ‘moral duty’ to enforce human rights is used in the same way as the doctrine of the ‘civilizing mission’ once was used to justify colonialism. Since this was first written, it seems that the civilizing mission _or at least crusades in defense of western civilization_ is not quite dead yet. American reactions to the attacks of September/11/ 2001 have re-emphasized the so-called” Clash of Civilizations”. In that vision of history and geopolitics, democracy, freedom, and human rights are seen as universally valid, and yet historically specific to western civilization”.12

Conclusion

It must be said, in media age, that world goes toward “dual-globalization” and that divides to two parts: one is real world, the other is virtual world. The role of media as a tool of virtual world is very important, the role of cinema is more important. Cinema with its instruments and opportunities justifies and also establishes another invention called: post- colonialism and in present time, all of the social scientists should study in this field around the world especially social scientists in third world. This method and way is the best one to know American empire that is bubbling more and more.

“American human rights policy in the last twenty years and in the beginning of twenty-first century is increasingly being distinctive and paradoxical: it is the product of a nation with a great national rights tradition that leads the world in denouncing the human rights violations of others but refusing to ratify key international rights convention itself. The most important resistance to the domestic application of international rights norms comes not from rogue states outside the western tradition or Islam Asian societies. It comes in fact, from within the heart of the western rights tradition itself, from a nation that, in linking rights to popular sovereignty, opposes international human rights oversight as an infringement on its democracy”. (Ignatieff, 2001, 93)13

Finally, I should say that world society especially super powers that in present day only includes one country that is the United States of America needs to stop thinking of human rights as trumps and being thinking of them as a language that creates the basis for deliberation.

Cost to Build a Home – How Location Influences the “Costs Per Square Foot”

Cost to Build a Home – How Location Influences the “Costs Per Square Foot”

What’s the cost-per-square-foot to build your home? I get questions from people all the time about home building costs. There are factors that make building costs similar but there are even more factors that cause variations.

One such factor is location. Location will have an effect on many aspects of building.

So, why would the location of your home affect the cost-per-square-foot to build it? For many, this simply doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. But, if you break it down, it begins to become clear. And, things that you felt couldn’t have an effect on price, suddenly grab your attention and make you think.

No Difference in the Cost of Building Materials & Labor?

In broader building areas like North America, you could make the argument that materials costs should be basically the same as long as we’re comparing apples to apples. That’s a decent assumption. You might further believe that labor is labor. Hmmm, it starts to get a little dicey here.

Truthfully, location can affect both.

Why Knowing is Important

Why is it helpful to understand the reason for “cost per square foot” variations? Well, for one, it’s to help you make your decisions about where to live, what you want, who you should hire, and what you’re going to get for a finished product. The better you understand, the better your choices will be.

Location’s mighty influence on costs:

 Labor Cost Variations: From one state to another, even from one city to the next, labor costs can vary significantly. This can be due to the quality and experience of the workers as well as labor unions and other factors.

Building Materials Shipping Costs: Whether it’s a packaged home or siding, roofing, windows or any other major component, shipping costs play a big role in the ultimate cost of those materials. Even more if items are imported.

Permits & Fees: An often overlooked factor. Some building jurisdictions have multiple fees that can really add up.

CC&Rs and HOAs: Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions as well as Home Owners’ Associations will often dictate; what you build, how you build, and even the professionals you can use! These can have a big impact on your costs.

Dig deeply into what you’re getting and the value it brings you. Remember, you’d expect to pay more for the Ferrari than the Cadillac, or more for the Lexus than the Chevy. But, remember that you’d also expect to pay more for labor in their repairs and service. The same holds true with home building.

Don’t make the mistake of simply asking for the cost per square foot without digging deeper to see what you’re getting and the influence that location has on a project.

Do your research. Use the industry professionals. And compare wisely.

The following article is one of a series of articles which focus on Personal Development, Self Improvement, Motivation and Empowerment. It is based on research done over twenty years as a personal and business coach. This self improvement article was written in response to questions which I have been asked as well as address common challenges that people have with this subject and all aspects of personal development.I sincerely hope that you find the following information of value.

The Real Power Of Affirmation

“I am, therefore I exist,” is a phrase affirming one’s existence as a being. It may be a simple phrase, but it says everything about the being saying them. It indicates a confidence not commonly found among other beings.

But why do people need affirmation? Why do beings need to be affirmed? Is existence relative to one’s affirmation?

Affirmation is a very powerful technique to empower one’s subconscious. Once the subconscious is disciplined to believe one’s affirmation, the latter is converted into a positive action for the conscious mind. Through affirmation, beings are empowered to do, to work, and to strive for more things. Affirmation allows people to believe in themselves and to put their thoughts into action.

Affirmation is a combination of verbal and visual techniques of a preferred state of mind of a person. Strong affirmations can be very powerful, and can be used by almost anyone to achieve his goals and fulfill his desires. However, the power of an affirmation depends on how strong or weak an affirmation is.

Affirmation is merely an assertion made by a person, about something or about a state of being. A person can affirm those that he chooses to attain, like “I now have a good life.” Being healthy in mind, body, and spirit can also be made possible through affirmation.

A strong affirmation should be stated in the present tense to be more effective. An affirmation of “I am now a happy being” is more effective than an affirmation saying, “I am going to become a happy being.” Affirmation should always be in positive terms because it is supposed to work for you and not against you. Instead of saying, “I am not sad,” why not make an affirmation saying, “I am happy.”

When it comes to the subject of self improvement, I fully understand (through my own experiences) that it is a lot easier said than done. However, you are here, right now, because you have a desire to improve your self or you are at least interested in this subject. Perhaps you are reading this to help a friend or colleague – great. If this article helps you or your help a friend, paying it forward is what life all about so we all win.

An affirmation should be made up of simple but concise words, and it should be short to be more effective. A very long affirmation can work the other way around, instead of creating a positive mindset for a person. A short affirmation can be easily spoken and repeated by a person. It can serve as a mantra that can be repeated over and over again.

To be effective, an affirmation must be repeated. Repetition works and influences the subconscious, which in turn motivates the person into acting out his affirmation. A person who creates the affirmation should be deeply involved with the words he will be using, so he will be able to actualize his affirmation. Writing words that one believes in can be very powerful, and this can be put to good use when creating an affirmation.

However, creating an affirmation alone and repeating them a million times would not make the affirmation a state of mind. The important thing is to live one’s affirmation and to be open-minded enough to do the things that would help the affirmation become a reality. Feeling the affirmation and applying it in one’s life will help in making the affirmation a reality.

While affirmation is generally used to make an individual better, it can also be used to boost or confirm another person’s value. By affirming another person’s existence, you are helping him improve his self-worth.

Affirmation is a very simple thing that can make a very big difference in a person’s life. It can be a great motivator and can make things happen.

NOW is the time!

O.K. you have read the article. Now is the time for action. Without action, this article adds no value whatsoever to your self improvement. But remember, without action, you cannot blame this self improvement article or any article for that matter. So, take action NOW.

Even if only one piece of advice, one piece of information, one tip makes a difference, then the whole article has been worth it for all of us. NOW is the time!

An affirmation is a thought or any judgment we pass. Affirmations directly influences our sub consciousness which then directs it into a certain direction either leading to a positive or negative change in our lives. Affirmations can be related to anything such as weight loss, self-esteem, love or even helps discover artistic talents. Using the power of artist’s affirmations can help you discover your artistic and expressive side, which can help you not only in the realm of art, poetry, and the like, but also in relationships and in business.

Artist’s affirmations are different from ordinary person’s affirmation but you first need to figure out your creative self and what you are good at. Try to bring out your artist self by creating some artist affirmations such as ‘I am very creative’ or ‘I was born out of creativity’. Some are good at dancing, painting, acting and many more. The basic artist affirmation is to feel like an artist and pour out the emotions inside you. Feel the emotions and try putting those emotions in your work. When an artist has any affirmation, they actually love and respect their own thoughts and try their best to turn their thoughts into reality. Generic artist’s affirmations will work for some people, but for others, you need to be more specific when creating your artist affirmations.

To become a successful artist, an artist should get rid of any negative affirmations such as having a feeling of failure. The best way to get rid of negative affirmations for artists is to paint out their negative thoughts and then probably later destroy those paintings feeling that by destroying those paintings all the negative thoughts are destroyed along with the painting.

Secondly feel the energy of success with every affirmation you make. Successful artists always affirm that they is worthy of success. To become a successful artist, affirm on a daily basis to be more successful. This will help bring out true and successful artist in you. Also create works of art which express success, happiness, life full of energy and anything positive. An artist keeps these works to inspire him all the time. A successful artist not only affirms but also visualizes his affirmations. It is also important that very carefully artist hears his affirmations. Thus, make it a point to repeat your affirmations out loud to yourself, because this will enhance the experience.

Artist affirmations can be as generic or as specific as you’d like, however, in general, artistic affirmations should be general. Depending on your regular everyday speech patterns, creating an artist’s affirmation that states “I am creative when I paint” could be potentially harmful. This affirmation sounds exclusive, and as you come to believe in this artist’s affirmation, you may begin to believe that you are only creative when you paint. Thus, ‘I am a creative person’ would be better.

Many examples of artist affirmations are listed below and if practiced these artist affirmations regularly you will not only discover your creative self but also become a successful artist.

‘As I create and listen, I will be led’

‘Creativity is the creator’s will for me’

‘I am truly a gifted artist’

‘Through the use of a few simple tools, my creativity will flourish’

‘My creativity always leads me to success’

‘I am willing to create’

‘I am willing to learn to let myself create’

How to Use Power Affirmations

Anxiety Help

What is the most effective way to use Power Affirmations? Here are a few suggestions.

Pick one or two affirmations and begin using them immediately. Do not wait until you create the perfect affirmations for your specific situation before you start using them. The future is now. Procrastination is the killer of success. Immediate action creates momentum. Repetition of positive thought sustains it. Do not base your choice by whether or not you already believe the affirmation or if the belief seems possible to you at this time. Repeating the power affirmations with emotional intensity and a feeling of certainty will eventually install the beliefs in your subconscious mind. At the very least, pick a generic affirmation like Every day in every way I am getting better and better. Then you can always choose or create other power affirmations later after you set specific goals. Resolve right now to start using affirmations within the next 60 minutes.

Write the power affirmation at least 10-20 times per day. For best results, write it down 10-20 times as soon as you arise and 10-20 times before you go to bed. This allows you to set your direction before the day starts and plant the seed in your subconscious mind before you go to sleep. If you do this consistently, you will naturally find this thought re-occurring in your mind several times per day. You will begin to notice the power affirmations shaping your other thoughts through the course of the day. As the power affirmations create more and more similar thoughts, you will create a direction and build momentum towards the desired results.

After you write the affirmation 10-20 times, repeat it aloud in front of a mirror 5-10 times. Anxiety Help is a process so repeating the affirmations aloud further installs the beliefs into your subconscious mind. It is very important to repeatedly both write and audibly state your affirmations for maximum effectiveness.

As you write and audibly repeat them, feel the emotional power of the affirmations in your body. Visualize yourself as having already created this result in your life. Feel the way you would feel if you already had this result in your life. Hear the things you will hear when this affirmation becomes an everyday reality. Breathe the way you would breathe if this affirmation were already true. Move your body as if this were already a conditioned belief.

Now let your positive thoughts of power and certainty guide your actions. Live consciously. Take complete control of your own mind rather than passively allowing the influences in the media control it for you.

Does this type of conditioning take time and effort? Absolute , on a daily basis. There is no something for nothing. This is where most people fail. They do not follow through with these steps every day for a long period of time. They get inspired for a few days after hearing a motivational speaker or after reading a book. Then, after the motivational high wears off, they fall back into their old habits. Or they get so busy that this is an easy item to ignore.

Event training through short seminars, is necessary and great. But Process Training, training that guides your every day habits, is the real key to sustained results. Process Training is achieved through sustained exposure to the learning material over a prolonged period of time. And it requires constant review and correction until the skill is installed as a subconscious habit (like how you learn to drive a car). Most people who think they can get all the information they need by attending a couple of seminars or listening to a best selling program one time will usually be disappointed. The information just goes by too fast to allow it to really soak in.

Why do you think we see the same commercials over and over again? Or hear the same slogan? It is because that advertisers know if they can get our attention for 30 seconds (or less), to watch the same commercial multiple times over a period of days, weeks, months, years, they know they can sell us billions of dollars of merchandise. Is it not time that you used the exact same technique to condition your mind on purpose? Take control of your mind and get anxiety help.

So, listening to motivational speakers on audio tape on a regular basis. Daily is one effective way to add process training to your life, however, many of the thoughts they communicate race by without having a chance to take root in either your conscious or subconscious mind. And there is often a lot of fluff just to get to the main points that will really change your life. It is much more difficult to take advantage of the power of repetition which is crucial to create long term results.

Any thought we have or any word we say is affirmation. Affirmations are directly linked to our sub-consciousness which influences it to guide our conscious that can lead us to a certain direction which can either bring a positive or negative change. Scientific affirmations refer to healing of the body through specific affirmations developed by professional hypnotists and scientists. While regular everyday affirmations are useful, scientific healing ones are particularly useful.

A book ‘SCIENTIFIC HEALING AFFIRMATIONS’ by Paramahansa Yogananda published in 1960′s thoroughly explains the theory of scientific healing affirmations. This book first explains that affirmations are words or thoughts sent forth due to our ego or soul. Furthermore, exaggeration or falsehood makes words ineffective. Man’s word should be truth and have a feeling of realization only then the affirmations will work. According to ‘Scientific Healing Affirmations’ these affirmations are linked to our sub consciousness which is further linked to cosmic consciousness, or God. By repeating scientific healing affirmations we are sure to be heard by God but at the same time throw out any doubt in God’s power and truly belief that God’s power can heal you or others. All affirmations, in order to reach sub consciousness must be free from doubts and uncertainties. As one makes use of affirmations, the attitude should be complete devotion and clear understanding for example will affirmations should be accompanied with strong determination or feeling by complete devotion. Also while healing others, select an affirmation that is suitable to emotional temperament of your patient.

While the inclusion of God is debated by many scientific researchers, the fact that these scientific healing affirmations work is not. Many mental or physical problems can be cured by finding out deep roots of the diseases hidden within these sub consciousness. The medicines or electrical method that we use only fix obvious bodily diseases.

According to ‘Scientific Healing Affirmations,’ to prevent and get rid of mental disease we must have faith in God and should prefer peace. Free the mind from all negative and disturbing thoughts and get rid of all bad habits. Firmly belief in you new good thoughts and stand firmly against violent emotions. Keeping the mind purer is the most superior form of hygiene and when the mind is pure; a person is kept away from many diseases. For curing of mental diseases one should concentrate on the opposite quality of the disease such as anger should be replaced by peace, fear replaced by bravery and sickness by health.

The author states that to prevent physical disease one needs to have proper diet for example don’t over eat or don’t become a cause of proper diet. During curing of physical disease the primary focus should be on mind as mind weakness is the key behind physical diseases and if mind is strong the healing process will be quick as well as effective.

While ‘Scientific Healing Affirmations” is a groundbreaking book, the fact is, it is not as “scientific” as the title claims. Much of the book is based in eastern religious philosophy, and that does take away from it’s value for those non-religious, and even many Christian readers. If you’d like a less fluffy introduction to scientific healing affirmations (the affirmation style and not the book), find a local hypnotist, or get a more scientific book on healing affirmations.
