Technical matters concerning the idea and the construction of sentences when working with intentions

The word (–not) added to a particular word while working with intentions means that it is worth also mentioning it in its opposite form, or even independently, during the work itself, finding and speaking any synonyms that come to mind together with their opposites.

For example:

—being poor, ill

it is also good to say this together with its opposite:

—being poor, ill; —not being poor, ill

This allows a given pattern to be activated immediately and as broadly as possible in its different aspects, including in its opposite form. It is also worth knowing that Souls often think and claim that they do not possess such opposite patterns, for example that they are not idolaters, as in the given case and the given word.

Another example:

The Soul of a woman denies ever having been a bad mother. Therefore, adding the negative expression—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—

“But of course not, never in my life! These are not my patterns. What I do is my private matter.”

[This is what the Soul very often says or thinks about itself.]
