The First Affirmation:

Something To Think About While Meditating:

I am more than my physical body. Because I am more than physical matter, I can perceive that which is greater than the physical world. 

Therefore, I deeply desire to: to expand, to experience, to know, to understand, to control, and to use such greater energies and energy systems as may be beneficial and constructive to me and to those who follow me.

Also, I deeply desire the help and cooperation, the assistance, the understanding of those individuals whose wisdom, development and experience are equal or greater than my own.

I ask for their guidance and protection from any influence or any source that might provide me with less than my stated desires. (Monroe Institute Gateway Project)
