Making a Mental Equivalent To create what you want involves creating a “mental equivalent” of what you desire. You need to FEEL that the desired result is here now and is yours now. And it will be. This is the LAW. It manifests what we accept. This is Faith. It is helpful, once the mental equivalent is formed, to put it into words and speak them forth.

A declaration is an affirmative statement made with spiritual awareness, with understanding and acceptance. This is a spiritual process of making yourself receptive.
