The word (–not) added beside a given word while working with intentions means it is worth mentioning the opposite as well, or even independently finding and speaking aloud synonyms that come to mind together with their opposites.

For example:

— being poor, sick

It is also good to say the opposite:

— being poor, sick, —not being poor, sick

This allows a given pattern to be approached as broadly as possible in different aspects, including its opposite.

It is also worth knowing that Souls often think or claim they do not possess opposite patterns, for example believing they are not idol worshippers in a given case.

Another example:

A woman’s Soul denies ever having been a bad mother. Therefore adding negation —

not being a bad mother —

may help her understand the state in which she finds herself.

Being a bad mother — not being a bad mother —

“No way, never in my life! These are not my patterns. What I do is my private matter.”
[—A Soul often says or thinks this about itself.]
