An affirmation (from Latin ''affirmare'', to assert) is the declaration that something is true. In Logic , an affirmation is a positive judgment, the union of the subject and predicate of a proposition. In must take a special oath or affirmation for the purpose of sitting as the tribunal for Impeachment ; in Article II, the president is required to take a specified oath or affirmation before entering office (see Oath Of Office ); in Article VI, all state and federal officials must take an oath or affirmation to support the U.S. Constitution; and in Amendment IV, all Arrest Warrant s and Search Warrant s must be supported by Evidence given under oath or affirmation. In Spirituality and Personal Development , an affirmation is a form of Autosuggestion in which a statement of a desirable intention or condition of the world or the mind is deliberately meditated on or repeated in order to implant it in the mind. Affirmation could be viewed positively as a mobilization of one's inner resources, or negatively as a kind of self-induced brainwashing, depending on the psychological depth and wisdom of the affirmation. For example, "I am making more room in my life for success every day" is a much wiser affirmation than "I will win the lottery today!" Affirmations can be a very powerful means of reprogramming the Unconscious Mind . They appear to be most effective when repeated in a quiet and restful state of mind and body. Perhaps the most often used and well-known affirmation is the word " Amen ," which can be translated simply, "so be it," affirming the truth of whatever was written or said immediately prior. While often used to conclude Prayer , the word itself is neutral as to its context and exemplifies a logical affirmation more than a spiritual one. REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS
