Bashar teaches that 'I AM' is the most powerful phrase in any language because it is the declaration of existence itself. Whatever follows 'I AM' becomes a command to your subconscious and to the universe. 'I AM happy' programs happiness; 'I AM abundant' programs abundance; 'I AM worthy' programs worthiness. Conversely, 'I AM tired,' 'I AM broke,' 'I AM unlucky' program those realities just as effectively. Bashar advises crafting affirmations that are: (1) Present tense—as if already true. (2) Positive—stating what you want, not what you don't want. (3) Believable—stretching but not so far that you reject them. (4) Emotional—accompanied by the feeling of the desired state. He recommends speaking affirmations aloud while looking in a mirror, writing them repeatedly, and placing them where you will see them throughout the day. The repetition is not to convince the universe (it already knows) but to reprogram your own belief system. Bashar notes that the most powerful affirmation of all is simply 'I AM'—the recognition of your existence as consciousness, prior to any definition.
