Awakening Part IV: There is only Now

Rose & Sunday by oddsock
About three weeks ago I had been having an urgent feeling to declutter and was following that feeling trying to understand. It wasn't about letting go of "things" -- it was something about energy. When I asked for clarity I had an experience that is the next step in the awakening for me: There is only Now.

I had an experience of myself AS my Inner Being: wise, intelligent, ancient -- not blending with, not being a partner with, but me as my Inner Being and separate from all of the energetic "stuff" that is my body and everything around me. In that euphoric moment I realized there is only Now. There is no future. No past. And because there is only Now, everything exists right now.

As I explored this experience I wrote: Decluttering is not worrying about the future. It’s doing what I desire now and letting God take care of the future because there isn’t any future, there is only Now. So there is no need to keep things because they may be needed. No need for obligation in relationships or jobs or any other "shoulds." There is only intuition which tells me what to store or keep, and which actions are in the stream I have summoned. And my intuition is my connection to my desire being manifested. There really is only Now. This whole past and future thing trips us up. So much changes in my thinking if there is only Now. Nothing to protect from. No need to defend. And movement. How does movement happen? Because that’s why we think there is time because we see things change. But it is only our thinking that changes! And our thinking draws to us what we are thinking about. So we are always in our creative Now. We always have everything we need. There’s no "other!" There is only the reflection of me. Somehow when I take away the clutter of time I can see there is only Now and there is only a reflection of me.

Now I feel like I can really play in this physical experience. There is no fear here in the Now. No lack. There’s all this matter around me. I can feel the physical universe around me and it’s not me. There’s no judgment one way or the other of it. It’s neutral. Just stuff. And I can create beautiful, dazzling things that make my heart soar. What I don’t know I’ll figure out. I can feel I am my Inner Being and how much fun it is to be here. This is what I intended when I came in. I feel excited. I can really play in a big way now – a world way. A Universe way. I sit back and conjure with my thoughts. I sit back and relax and conjure worlds. And watch the Universe create for me.

You don't live in one world. You share a dimension and are individually creating in as many separate worlds as there are beings.

Abraham-Hicks, A New Beginning II, Jerry & Esther Hicks, P. 236

There was much more -- it was pretty a heady experience. When I came out of the experience the world seemed so strange and out of focus -- ways I had been used to thinking about the world and the realization I had just had overlapped and didn't fit. I walked around in a bemused, dreamy state for several days and then got concerned and felt I should focus. I tried some of my old ways of feeling good like writing intentions, but they were indeed old ways and not up to speed with this new awareness.

Playing in the physical experience is different than I thought. It really is more like I have a room full of toys to pick from and I can do anything I want. I don’t create the toys. They’re all there for me to pick from. The buffet is laid out and I fill my plate. Now in this physical realm we can actually plant the tree, pick up the wood, and carve it. Plant the seed, harvest, and cook it. Or we can send out the desire and someone will bake the bread and we can buy it or have it given as a gift. We don’t create the seed or the life process that so elegantly provides the process for it to grow. The desire is our choice, the exact means for the manifestation belongs to the Universe.

I've decided to "drop my nets" and follow this new energy. I'm taking a break from blogging. I'm very, very interested in the political and social changes taking place right now and will explore that arena. My home, my body, the food I eat -- everything has been changing and there is a joyful gathering momentum each day. I can feel a new awareness coming into focus.

One time I had an afternoon where I walked in love and everything flowed magically. My intuitive understanding is that is where my stream is flowing -- that's the manifestation that comes from my Now experience.

You can get so in the flow of what you want flowing to you that then your life becomes about a gentle defining of the way you'd like it to flow next. A complete understanding that you are worthy. A complete understanding that it is coming. No question about it. No interest in how or when or where. Just amused awareness that it is coming, and a gentle desire to guide it for the fun of being the deliberate creator I am.

Abraham-Hicks, San Francisco, CA, February 11, 2006

Abraham-Hicks: Some thoughts for this time of transformation

Transformation by Temari 09
The beasts that came before you, who banged around on this planet, denoted, at cellular, conscious and unconscious levels, their preferences. And that is how the atmosphere was prepared for you. They did not write one thing on their "things to do today" pads. They just be'd and perceived and concluded and asked vibrationally. And the Universe expanded as a result of their willingness to have exposure to the contrast. And you are not different from them. You have no greater responsibility than they did. The contrast produces the desire within you, and the Universe expands as a result of it. The only question is, the question that we want so much to answer is, are you letting it in? Are you letting yourself experience the benefit of your precious focus and your vast experience in the here and now? You'll never get it done. You cannot get it wrong. So don't you think it's time for you to lighten up and start having more fun with all of this, and accept that you are Eternal Beings?

Abraham-Hicks, October 7, 2000

This is the greatest message. This will free you from vibrational resistance, as you hear it, and internalize it, and then practice it: The thing that is most hindering: You look at what people are living and you gather your evidence or statistics, and then you claim it as true.

You say, “It must be true. They warned me about that, and sure enough, it happened.” And what we are wanting so much for you to hear, is: What anyone is living—your culture, your environment, your society, your city, your family, your person—what anybody is living, the truth, or the evidence that you are producing is only the truth that manifests in response to the habit of vibration that you offer.

So, when you look out into your society and you see something, wanted or unwanted, and you proclaim it as true—which is the reason that you give that others should think about it, write about it, talk about it, understand, and accept it as truth—do you feel how screwy that is? That’s like saying, “There’s something out there that I do not want, but because somebody else created it in their experience and it became their truth, now I must beat the drum of it, and make it my truth, too.” And we say, fortunately there are a variety of truths for you to pick from.

Fortunately, you are the creator of your own truth. No one can write a book; no one can start a movement; no one can organize a religion; no one can say, “These are the things that are important for you to do, and these are the things that you must not do,” because no one knows the mix of intentions and the mix of beliefs that you hold. You get to choose all of it.

Abraham-Hicks, San Rafael, CA, February 21, 2004

What you want is freedom. That freedom you are seeking is freedom from resistance. You will never find the freedom that you seek by controlling the behavior of others. You'll only find it when the behavior of others becomes a non-issue. Because you are able to focus your mind in ways that allow your connection, and give you that feeling of wellbeing.

We're not giving you this guidance so that you can tune up your vibration to get your relatives to do what you want them to do and get what you want. We're trying to get you to tune up your vibration so that you can understand that the serenity you seek on the mountain is not about having it in the family, it's about your vibrational alignment.

And there are hundreds of thousands of spots on this planet that would give you that feeling that you can go to any day and the Universe will orchestrate so you can go there when others are not there. In other words, you are zigging and zagging in this world. You'll get what you want whether you own the property or not, you see.

But the feeling of ownership, the feeling of guarding or protecting, the feeling of making others come into agreement before I can get what I want, that will render you powerless every single time because you will never get them to agree.

Abraham-Hicks, San Diego, CA, January 12, 2008

....First of all, all of you, without exception, knew that this was time of greater earth changes before you made the conscious decision to emerge into this physical time and place. Not because you wanted to be heroes or martyrs, but because you knew that in greater asking, there is always greater receiving. You simply saw physical planet Earth, that is already an arena of exaggerated contrast, as being a heightened arena of exaggerated contrast...

Now, what do we mean by that? Do we mean, these will be clever physical beings who can run from earthquakes and survive?

No, it's not about the earthquake at all. It's about a mass consciousness coming closer -- mass consciousness means, all thinkers -- and all of you will never come to the same conclusion about anything, nor would you want to.

But this realignment, or time of realignment, is about large numbers of thinkers, or vibrators, simultaneously accepting the Well-being of this Universe.

Abraham-Hicks, February 12, 1994

All is well.

350.org and Abraham-Hicks on climate change and global warming

Love the Planet by \!/ PeacePlusOne
On October 15th Blog Action Day focused on climate change. The stats are impressive: over 31,000 blogs in 155 countries reached 17.9 million people. As a deliberate creator I note that all the posts I read were very positive. I think of all of the desires that were sent out into the Universe and the loving answers that came immediately. What a beautiful stream of energy for our mother earth!

One of the next global events is happening today, October 24th. 350.org has organized an International Day of Climate Action with 5,200 events in 181 countries calling for strong leadership and inspired action to support this blue green planet.

Abraham talks about climate change, endings and calamities and is, as always, loving, positive, and inspiring. This is the Awakening and we came here at this time because we knew there would be strong contrasts resulting in greater desires and a powerful stream of Well-Being. We wanted to ride that stream of Well-Being. All the information from Abraham tells us how to be in the stream from the smallest desires in our life to our biggest desires for our world.

This is not a shrinking Universe, this is not a shrinking world. This is an expanding world. If you have any way of understanding and you do through the power of your emotion.

If you could feel what Source Energy is deriving as a result of the contrast that you are living and what you all of you are putting in your vibrational escrow. Do you understand that?

So Source Energy expresses a part of itself in you. You are like pioneers out here knowing what you don't want, knowing what you do want. And so, with every picture you watch about global warming, you ask for an improvement in your environment. With every thought about things not going well, you ask for improvement.

And as billions of you are doing that, can you imagine the vibrational escrow that's being amassed as a result of the experiences that you are living and have been living?

And do you understand that it's from that vibrational stance that new energies are coming forth? So you don't need to worry about all of these nay sayers. We want you to understand, you have this wonderful thing going for you here out on this leading edge of creation on planet earth and that is the dilution ratio.

And by that we mean, the old disconnected ones are croaking right and left (laughter and applause). And in doing so, they are re-emerging back into pure positive energy where they're getting a full view of things, where they're not pinched off anymore.

And new fresh ones are being born all day, every day who are being born from this vantage point of this furthermost, expanded, leading edge. Do you understand that it is vibrationally impossible for both kinds of predictions to be true.

They defy everything. This is no regression, there is only expansion. This planet is not coming to an ending, it is barely beginning, barely beginning. (applause)

...Don't let shortsighted others discourage you. Their discouragement is about their relationship with their vibrational stream. It's about the gap between who they really are and who they're letting themselves be. We promise you, it has nothing to do with the longevity of this planet.

Good, yes indeed.

Abraham-Hicks - About The Year 2012 - YouTube Listen to this fabulous video and be inspired and uplifted!

What is your work? Is your work to fix a broken world? The world isn't broken, friends. It is an extraordinary, rather well-balanced arena of creating which contains enough contrast to stimulate your awareness of what is wanted. So, as you realize that it isn't broken and you realize that your work is to find your connection to the pure Energy that created it to begin with, your work is to allow the Energy to flow through you as you hold objects of attention -- then you are the extension of that creator.

We want to give you a sort of picture to sort of bring this all together. You've been hearing us, and you reflected it back to us very accurately, when you hold this image of you, the flow-er, or you the perceiver holding an object of attention out there and therefore shooting a rocket of Energy toward that vortex. So you are the creator that launches a creation and then that creation that you have launched begins to pulse, in and of itself, and then, by Law of Attraction, it begins to attract unto itself -- so other things that are like it are drawn to it. And when it gets big enough it will reach back and summon you to action. That's the way it works.

In other words, you perceive of it, or conceive of it, you launch it, you give it birth, so to speak. Then it, in and of itself, begins to attract other things that are like it. Now you might continue to add to it and mold it and shape it, but it is pulsing and growing, in and of itself. Now as it gets large enough, it will reach back and inspire you to it. In other words, that's when you get this impulse or compulsion to take action....

We want you to know that all is well! Some of you are hoping that it is, some of you are wanting it to be, some of you are yearning that it is -- and we want you to know that all IS well. And, in your knowing of it, you begin allowing more of it in your day-to-day experience.

Good.

Treehugger: If We All Just Do Two Things We Can Prevent Climate Change

I just love The 7MSN Ranch blog. Linda chronicles her adventures in New Mexico with the herd: two burros, two horses, a pig, dog, cats and assorted other critters. It looks like a very low climate impact lifestyle, but even there, Linda finds a way to be a part of loving the earth in her post, Trying to make a smaller footprint.

Wednesdays with Abraham: Love lights the way -- and there is always a way

God's Eye by Jan Tik
I keep a journal by my bed and often have insights right before I go to sleep or when I wake up. I was just looking at one I wrote a week ago. I heard this: Love lights the way. Whenever I seem to be in darkness I am not ever, for Love always lights the way. There is never darkness, for Love always lights the way.

I realized this is the meaning of Abraham saying that our manifestations come through the path of least resistance, and there is always a path, there is always a way, there is always another chance. There is no darkness, only Light, and no matter where we think we are -- even if we have looked away from the Light and turned to what we think is darkness and lack -- there is still only Light.

There is not a stream of badness and a stream of goodness, or sickness or wellness. There is only a Stream of Well-being. The question that you're wanting to ask yourself is, "In this moment, am I letting it in or not? Am I allowing it or am I not?"

Abraham-Hicks, Cleveland, OH, July 11, 2000

We are all one Energy Stream, but what makes the separations or distinguishes the differences is perspective. You are a unique and individual perspective.

Abraham-Hicks, Los Angeles, CA, January 31, 1999

When you say, what are you guys doing or what's my inner being or what's the source within me doing when I'm not here? That makes it sound like it would do anything other than extend itself fully. It's always present: in the birds, in the trees, in the wind, in the dirt.

In YOU. It's always present; the most expanded version of you.

Abraham-Hicks, Sydney, Australia, December 14, 2008

Your conclusion that there isn't enough of something­ whether it is enough land, or money, or clarity­ stems from you learning, without meaning to, a vibration that holds you apart from what you want. There is no limitation. If you identify a desire for it, Source recognizes your desire, and immediately begins to deliver it to you. And it will manifest in the variety, in the fullness, and in the way that you, and only you, learn to allow it.

Abraham-Hicks, San Francisco, CA, March 8, 2003

Achieve, first, the vibrational essence of your desire­ and then, through the crack of least resistance the manifestation will be delivered... work on the essence of the feeling of freedom; work on the essence of the feeling of empowerment­; work on the essence of the feeling of Well-Being... And how do you do that? You can imagine it already having happened and pretend what it will feel like when it is that way. Or, you can look for things in your life that are already like that and beat the drum of that until they play a higher percentage of time in the vibrational signal that you are emanating.

Abraham-Hicks, North Los Angeles, CA, March 6, 2004

Many years before I knew about Abraham I had a technique that would help me when I was resisting: I would say, "I am willing." and I would feel it. There were some conditions that I might have to really dig deep to find the place where I was willing, but I would keep going until I felt it. Like this: I am willing to be willing to be willing to be willing to think about being willing. I would say it however I needed to, until I got a feeling of release. And when I did this, I seemed to just let it go and not think about it anymore. And, of course, that willingness worked. In Abraham's language, it created a path of least resistance for Love to work in the condition. There is always a path. There is always a way.

The Energy of your Source - some call it Soul, some call it God Force - this Source Energy is flowing to you and through you at all times. It is the Creative Energy that continues to Create. And you are a Creator, like a vortex or a channel or a vessel, intending to take this Stream of Energy that Creates worlds and funnel it, through your desire, for further extension of Creation.

Abraham-Hicks

You say, "May I have..." or, "I would really like to have..." or, "What I really want is..." and you can name anything under the sun that you can conjure, and the Universe calmly says, "Here it is," because it is known by All-That-Is that anything that you desire -- can be. So, "Yes, here it is."

Abraham-Hicks, September 15, 2004

The way it all works is just so elegantly loving. @>----

Blog Action Day: Deliberately creating the climate of our dreams

A Glorious Day by jurvetson
Abraham-Hicks' information about deliberately creating our personal reality is more than attracting the car or mate of our dreams -- it's about creating our world.

There are as many different worlds as there are perceivers or Beings or individuals. You are not here to create one world where everyone is the same, wanting and getting the same. You are here to be that which you want to be, while you allow all others to be that which they want to be.

Abraham-Hicks, Excerpted from a workshop in “The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham," July 1, 2006

We are Non-physical beings focused in this physical experience. We came into this life to bring the love and joy that we are into physical expression.

If you are to be the joyful beings that you intended to be as you emerged into these bodies, it is necessary for you to understand that what you seek, is harmony with you. And once you find harmony with you, then everything in your world will fall into place.

Abraham-Hicks, June 7, 1991

We summon life by looking around us at the buffet life offers and making the choice of what we desire.

You intended to come forth into the physical realm of contrast to define what is wanted. To connect with the energy that creates worlds, and to flow it toward your objects of attention. Not because the objects of attention are important, but because the act of flowing is essential to life.

Abraham-Hicks, Lincroft, NJ, October 15, 1996

You are extensions of Non-physical Energy, taking thought beyond which it has been before, and through contrast, you will come to conclusions or decision. And once you align with your desire, the Energy that creates worlds will flow through you...which means enthusiasm and passion and triumph. That is your destiny.

Abraham-Hicks, Silver Spring, MD, April 19, 1997

The Universe answers EVERY desire:

Get so fixated on what you want, that you drown out any vibration or reverberation that has anything to do with what you do not want. When you ask it is given, every single time, no exceptions. You are beloved, blessed beings who deserve good things, but it takes a self-convincing before you will allow good things.

Abraham-Hicks

What if some people don't care about the climate, but I do?

"But, what if what I want and what you want are in conflict? If I want rain, and you've just cut your alfalfa...how does that work?" If you will focus upon the essence of what you want (which is a magnificent new crop) and the other will focus upon the essence of what they want (which is a successful alfalfa harvest, or whatever)...and if either one of you doesn't get too involved in the details of how you think you want your desire to play out, then both of you can be satisfied. The Universe has the facility to orchestrate circumstances and events to accommodate everyone.

Abraham-Hicks, September 1, 2004

How do you create the climate or anything else you desire? You have sent off the desire so that's done. The Universe has answered so that's done. All you need to do is allow. And you do that by being the loving Self you truly are. Find ways to feel good. Follow up on your inner prompting. Focus on solutions.

The path to walk is to listen to your feelings. The Universe is calling you to your desires and you will feel good when you follow -- like turning your face to the sun and feeling the warmth. Deliberate creating is choosing the thoughts that feel good, but all you have to do is feel good. I worked with a very positive man who told me he was very lucky -- everything always turned out well for him. He was very unorthodox and coworkers regularly had dire predictions about him, but everything always turned out well for him in magical ways that they didn't expect.

Step one, is knowing what you don't want. That part's not hard, is it? Easy to know what you don't want.

Step two, is knowing what you do want. That part's easy too. It's a product of step one because when you know what you don't want you always, in that moment, know much more clearly what you do want.

Step three - that's the step most of you miss, and that's the most important one. Once you know what you want, you have to feel it.

Abraham-Hicks

You have to feel what it will be like when you have what you want. When you do, you are a vibrational match to what you want and you allow it to manifest.

When you know that you want something, and you give your attention to that which you are wanting, and you vibrate with it -- it always comes to you. When you know that you want something and you notice that it isn't coming, by your attention to the lack of it, you hold it away from you -- it is really that simple.

Abraham-Hicks, August 31, 1993

Working with Abraham's information has changed my life. It's been about five years now since I discovered them and I'm just now starting to see the value of the things I don't want: We came into this experience because the contrast or buffet that life offers causes us to shoot off our desires. And in following our desires we flow with all of the good feelings of Oneness in the Stream of Well-Being.

What I've learned is to trust that when I send out my desire, the Universe answers. I've come to the place where I don't just trust it in small ways, but with my whole life. Now I'm beginning to explore how to be a deliberate creator politically and with this mother earth that I love so dearly.

You and I see what is happening with the climate and environment and we have strong desires of what we want. Now we need to trust that we have been answered and do whatever we need to connect and harmonize with the Well-Being that answered. As we do this, we may be inspired to action, but it isn't necessary that we take action. The Universe does the work and our work is to be the joyful beings that we are in truth. We are to go through life, making our choices, seeing if they are what we want or we want something better, but to always turn our face to that goodness that is in us and around us.

Sometimes physical beings will say, "Well, I'm afraid that I've missed my opportunity. I wanted it, but my window [of opportunity] opened but I wasn't there for it and so my window closed." And we say that window is always open. You may close it for a moment, but it opens right up again. In other words, the Universe never stops hearing you and never stops answering you. You are deserving beyond our ability to find words to explain. And it is your job to find yourself in that place of letting it in.

Abraham-Hicks, North Los Angeles, CA, 8/13/01

Wednesdays with Abraham: How Non-physical and physical work together

~ trust ~ by alicepopkorn
....Back to the heart of your question about Abraham and humor and Abraham and sadness as compared to the physical you: We are just steadier. We've acclimated to that higher vibration. We don't push against anything. The primary difference between the Nonphysical you and the physical you is that all of us, physical and Nonphysical, explore contrast, because without the exploration of contrast, we would not conclude new decisions or desires.

But the difference is, in the Nonphysical realm, we do not turn to what we have not chosen and push against it. We maintain a more even keel. We maintain, from your perspective, what you would call a consistent steady connection to this Stream. We are the embodiment, the Nonphysical embodiment, of the Stream. You are the physical embodiment of the Stream, although sometimes, in what you choose as your object of attention, you disallow the Stream.

And so, every now and again Esther will say, "Well, I think I'll just let Abraham come into my being, and they can just live out the rest of my life. They're always tuned in, tapped in, turned on. They're always looking for the best in things. They are always feeling wonderful." And we say, well that's a nice idea except that Abraham's exploration of the contrast would not net as much desire as your exploration of the contrast. And since desire is the name of this game, desire is what you exist for in order to continue to summon Life Force, you would be defeating some of your purpose.

Abraham-Hicks, Spokane, WA. June 27, 1998

....You've always been the creative genius out here on the leading edge carving the path for All-That-Is to follow. We're all in this together, and as we've said many times today, we seek to blur the line between what is physical and nonphysical. We would like to imbue you fully with the fullness that is us. We would like you to consciously love you as we consciously love you. But we cannot tweak your brain to make you think -- you get to think. That's free will. And that free will is so essential in the contrasting, comparative experience because if you did not have free will you could not conjure a new desire. And if you could not conjure a new desire we could not move forward, you see. And so we would just like you to love yourself more and allow yourself more of the benefit that you are providing for all of us.

You see, whether you allow it [for yourself] or not, the Universe expands and
benefits by your very presence here. And when we talk about Art of Allowing, we just want you in on the fun. Because whether you allow it or not the Universe expands and whether you know it or not you are of value. And whether you know it or not, we all benefit by your existence. When you know it, when you know your value, then you get that warm, fulfilling feeling, that oneness that we think is what you're really reaching for.

Abraham-Hicks, Fort Collins, CO, June 14, 2003

Now as we visit with this magnificent room full of physical human creators, we are talking about manifestations...

This is your creative workshop, this is where the contrast is. You are on the leading edge of thought. There is nothing more spiritual than this leading edge, physical materialization, manifestation stuff. In other words, this is the playground that you have come to play within....

And when you are inspired to a desire and that desire is flowing through you, you are the most alive and most connected to Source Energy than any Entity anywhere in the Universe could ever be.

Abraham-Hicks, Boulder, CO, June 2, 2001

How to be of service to Non-physical? Seek joy, which will lead you to eternal freedom and growth. Be happy. Seek experiences that make you feel good.

Choose a subject that feels good to you and get focused on it and stay focused long enough that you get passionate. And in your passion, that's when you are of the greatest value and pleasure for us.

But at the same time, you are also experiencing the greatest passion and pleasure for yourself, which means that you cannot separate your benefit from ours.

Abraham-Hicks, October 11, 1992, from the Abraham Calendar

Let what you're living right here and now in this environment be the process that evokes the desire that summons the Life Force that provides the creation of anything. Whatever you have the ability to conceive, this Universe has the ability to provide. Anything, without exception. So your work is on the conjuring of the idea, period. The Universe has the stuff to deliver the goods, and will.

Love and wisdom from Abraham-Hicks when someone you know is ill or has made their transition

A mother's love by danklar
GUEST: My mother died about three months ago. And I've been having a lot of experiences that tell me that she wanted to go. She was ready to go. Those parts feel good, and I feel pretty clear about that. But what I want to know about is grief. Sometimes I just feel it, and it's like a missing her and a grief. I'm just wondering. Can it be like joy? If I'm connected to my true self and having Pure Positive Energy, sometimes can it be that feeling of grief as opposed to joy? Does it always have to be a happy thing?

ABRAHAM: Well, we're appreciating your probing here about emotions, because when an emotion is a very strong emotion, it's easier to identify what it is. When you're having a hard time knowing if something is the emotion of joy or the emotion of grief, sometimes probing a little further will help you to identify.

This morning, when Esther awakened, Jerry was in a very connected, good feeling state. He could hardly wait for Esther to wake up and get focused into the day, because he had something he really wanted to visit with her about. He had been reading a paper that someone had given to him some time ago. As he read it to Esther, he could not stop crying. It was moving him on such a deep level. And Esther said to him, "Is this joy that you're feeling, or sadness?" It was hard for her to tell what he was feeling, because he was feeling moved.

When you're talking about the subject of death, there is not much that connects you more to your feeling of Source, or to your feeling of wholeness, than that. And so, we wouldn't spend too much time trying to figure out if it's a feeling of joy. We wouldn't try to label the feeling so much. If it's a feeling that you want to go back to, then we would say it's a feeling of connection. If it's a feeling that you just hate when it comes over you, and you feel relieved when it goes away, then we would say it is a feeling of disconnection.

We would not use the term 'grief' for it. We would say, it is a deeper connection that is inspired by my attention to the passing into Nonphysical of my mother. The reason that you call it 'grief' is because you've been programmed to believe that you should feel bad about death.

GUEST: But I miss her. So then I say to myself, "Well does that mean it's lack?" I just miss her.

ABRAHAM: Well, the feeling of missing someone, that is grief. And it's natural. We are eager to talk about this, because it is something that all of you will experience. Some of you can experience grief just in thinking about it, and any time you are thinking about something that you do not want, you feel negative emotion.

We think it would be helpful to talk about why it is that the death of someone that you care about is something that you do not want. Let's talk about that. You say, "I miss her." Amplify that just a little bit. You said she was ready to go. What did you mean by that?

Let us ask you some questions here: Did you see your mother, in her days before her making her transition, as someone who the contrast was producing Rockets of Desire that she was taking pleasure in focusing upon? In other words, was this physical experience still producing things that...(looking at Jerry) read your Ithaka thing. Hear this, it fits together here.

JERRY: Can you read? Through Esther's eyes, I mean?

ABRAHAM: We can. It is better if you do. We will, if you are wanting.

(ABRAHAM reads Journey to Ithaka by C.P. Cavafy)

As you set out for Ithaka
hope the voyage is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
angry Poseideon -- don't be afraid of them

You'll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.

Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
wild Poseidon -- you won't encounter them
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Hope the voyage is a long one.
May there be many a summer morning when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you come into harbors seen for the first time;

May you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
sensual perfume of every kind --
as many sensual perfumes you can;

And may you visit many Egyptian cities
to gather stores of knowledge from their scholars.
Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you are destined for.

But do not hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you are old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you've gained on the way,

Not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you would not have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor,
Ithaka won't have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become,
so full of experience,
you will have understood by then what these
Ithakas mean.

ABRAHAM: Whoever wrote that knows what we know: It is never about the manifestation. It is about the desire that summons the life. It is about the object of attention that causes the inspiration to move forward. And so, we think that when someone makes their transition into Nonphysical, that the reason that it often touches you at a very deep level that you do not understand, aside from the superfluous missing of them in the kitchen, or whatever, we think the reason that it reaches you so deeply, is because there's a part of you that recognizes that an Ithaka, for them, no longer exists in this physical time/space reality. That this environment is no longer producing the desire that is summoning them forward along this path.

We're wanting you to understand that an Ithaka, so to speak, of much greater proportion is now calling them -- beyond what this format can provide for them -- into the eternalness.

The grief that you feel is usually about it feeling like an ending. At a level that you don't even consciously understand, you understand the eternalness of your being. And you love this feeling of wanting that continues to summon you forward. When someone makes their transition, what that always means, always, always, always, means, no exceptions ever, what it always means is -- this time/space reality is no longer producing the stuff that summons them forward here. But it does not mean that they are not continuing to be summoned forward. They are being summoned by the Broader Knowing.

There is never a reason to feel any grief about the reemergence. It is a new beginning of extraordinary proportion. It is a goal, it is an objective, it is a knowing that is calling, that is so powerful that there is a joyous romping beyond description. If you could feel the way those Nonphysical Energies feel once they have made their transition and they are refocused from that broader perspective, having left behind any resistance that has kept this place from being that for them, you would never again feel that for them.

Now, sometimes in that passing of them, you feel it a little for yourself. Because there is a part of you that is stirred, a Soul part of you that helps you, on even a cellular level, to remember that you are here intending to find things that call you forward. And often a passing of another makes you question, even in ways that you can't consciously put into words, "What is here for me? How well am I
utilizing this time/space reality in calling me forward?" And we think that this feeling of discomfort, that you are feeling, is producing a new Rocket of Desire within you that's going to cause you to begin focusing upon, "Well, here I am. I have many happy years left. What am I wanting to do? How am I wanting to draw Energy through me, here?"

These words are so wonderful that have been spoken to you here about Ithaka, because what it is saying is: When physical life experience causes a focus within you that summons Life Force to you -- then you are alive. And if you are, in your physical body, not allowing that promise of what is new to keep calling through...if you are so aware of where you stand, so that most of your thoughts are about where you stand, so that there is no calling forward -- then it is time for you to be called forward into the vaster Nonphysical perspective. And we think that's what you're feeling.

If we were standing in your physical shoes, we would utilize this negative emotion in a very powerful way. We would say, "This negative emotion that I am feeling, I am calling it grief, but it is about discontent, it is about questioning my own beingness. It's about wondering who I'm about or what we're all about. I'm going to figure this out. I'm going to find more things in every day to give me the feeling of joy. By darn, I'm going to find them. I'm going to find more things to be exhilarated about." We think that's what this is all about for you. And for most.

Abraham-Hicks, Syracuse, NY, October 16, 1999

Sometimes someone will be sick, and a daughter or someone who loves a sick person will say, "Abraham, I'm wanting to help this person." And we say, just hold the image of them in a place of utter Well-being, and trust that through the path of least resistance, either they will recover and Well-being will be restored here, or they will withdraw and Well-being will be restored there. But in either case, whether they stay or whether they have what you call death experience, the Well-being is always restored. Whether it is someone who has just been bipping along in physical experience who has been meditating, who knows the sweetness of Connection on a day-to-day basis, who says, "Ah, this life experience has been so wonderful and I think I will now turn my attention to another aspect of my life experience," closes their eyes as they put themselves in the bed, make the transition, and they are discovered as having made their transition in the night. Or whether they have some violent experience, where at the gun of an enemy, or the gun of someone violent, or a car crash they make their transition. As they make their transition, ultimately it is still the same experience.

Wednesdays with Abraham: Death? Life as Pre-Croaking Blending

Bubble Hop OOB by Michah A. Ponce
I planned to post other quotes today, but last night and this morning I had inner prompting to use quotes about death. I'm going to do two separate posts: this one with humor, the other about grief. Both with Abraham's infinite wisdom and love. @>----

And when you croak, no matter how resistant you've been to Who You Are, we like that word, too: croak. It's so disrespectful. And since there IS no death, we like to be as disrespectful of that ridiculous idea as we can.

So when you croak --it has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? [audience laughter] When you croak you reemerge immediately back into the awareness of Who You Really Are, and you leave behind any resistant patterns that you've picked up along this physical trail. So croaking is the true epitome of blending. You come back together with Who You Are.

But we think it would be ever so nice if you could blend before you croak. Pre-croaking blending. Yes. That's what we'll call this. Art of Allowing was nice for the last decade but what do you think about it: Pre-Croaking Blending? That should get the crowds out! [applause]

Abraham-Hicks, San Francisco, CA, July 27, 2007

...this inevitable thing called death is not a bad thing. We know that you might think we're biased since we are considered dead. (Laughter.)

You are Source energy that had something in mind when you made the decision to come forth into this physical body. None of you said, "I will go forth and stay in this body for hundreds of years." Very often your intention was to come forth, make a big splash, have a lot of fun, and then make another decision. Physical beings have turned this amount of life into an issue. You cannot evaluate the quality of life by the quantity of life.

....So very often, people like your friend actually begin living with the death of someone important to them, because they must get it into perspective to even survive, you see.

....When you show yourself that you can return to joy under those conditions [grieving], there is never ever, ever, ever again anything for you to fear. And wouldn't you all love to be one who has gotten over that fear stuff? Don't you just love to know the well-being, the total well-being of who you are?

Abraham-Hicks, Phoenix, AZ, March 20, 2004

When you understand that you are eternal beings, in other words, you walk into this room, you all come willingly and yet you have not commited your life to being in this room. In a few hours, you're going to get up and you're going to walk out of here and everybody's going to say that's just fine. And yet when somebody makes their transition, which is no different than that -- they just withdraw their attention from one room and give their attention to another room -­- you all act like it's the end of the world.

Jerry and Esther have a new cat that they kidnapped when they were in Louisiana -­ well, the cat really kidnapped them. It sort of appeared at their motor home and said, "I want to live with you," and the owner of the park said, "We want you to take this cat," and ultimately they did. And now this cat -­ Loveable Cat is her name, they call her L.C. -­ she lives at the office. And Jerry wanted her to have freedom, and so in the beautiful new office building the carpenters cut a door for L.C. to come in and out. And the building is very thick, and the doors are metal so they could not put the cat door in the door. So they put it in the building and built a chute, and so there's about this much distance from outside to inside. At first, she did not like the idea of the door. Jerry said it was like trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. (Laughter.) And then he watched her, her first emergence,and it was a very interesting thing because here she's standing in the break room, a very beautiful room inside, and then she leaps up onto her shelf that has been build and she pokes herself through the tube and then out into the bright sunlight.

Well, death is sort of like that. In other words, it's not a bigger transition than that. It is something that is going from one perspective to another, but there is no sense of having left behind something. Instead, there is the exhilaration about what is on the other side. Now the thing that we're wanting you to understand is that once L.C. goes outside,she is equally free to come back in. So she's in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out, and that is the way it is from the nonphysical perspective. In other words, the conversation that you had was a very real conversation -­ nonphysical consciousness is here with you all the time. The question is why have those of you who are still remaining in the break room, why have you limited yourself only to that experience? And that really is what these workshops are about. We're wanting to help you consciously reconnect with that broader self that you know you are. And once you gain that awareness of the wholeness of who you are, then you're like the cat that's back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth, not feeling any big deal about it, having a glorious experience no matter where your consciousness is focused, you
see.

Abraham-Hicks

You die more in your hatred than you ever could in your death. In death there is life, you see. It is in hatred and in fear that there is the pinching off of life.

So we have to say to you that the only place that any of you could ever experience anything death-like, is in your physical body, as you dis-allow the good feeling you - that is you.

Abraham-Hicks, Boston, MA, May 15, 2004

Guest: I died a couple of years ago… (Describes circumstances of near death experience.) Now I don’t know how to feel as happy here as I felt there.

Abraham: …Now you know the goal. You know how happy you are, and you know how happy you want to be. And that’s what you have come to express.

Guest: But the thing is that here is so not… allowing, or something…

Abraham: We know it seems that way. But it’s only the perceptions you’ve picked up. In other words, in that re-emergence into non-physical you left behind all of your limiting perceptions. And so, now your work is about one by one releasing the limiting perceptions. And it is our promise that you can be as happy here as you were there. And now you have this fabulous experience of knowing what you are reaching for. And think about it in light of what we have been talking about here today. It is not about achieving something, it is not about going somewhere, it is not about being with someone. It’s a state of being, isn’t it? It’s the feeling. It’s the feeling!

Can you feel how, as we’ve been moving through emotions here today, can you feel how what you are wanting to do is to move from where ever you are, which is feeling pretty darned good, to that fabulous goal that you now have which is feeling really,
really, really good?

… We want to show you how to step here and step here and step here and step here, and then you say, “Hey, this is as good as being dead!!!” [laughter]

Awakening Part III: Love is All There Is

follow the heart ~ by alicepopkorn
I've had shifts in perspective almost daily since I wrote about blending with my Inner Being. It became clear to me today that something within me is in alignment and I'm ready for an adjustment in how I live in the world. Now I'm just feeling my way with this adjustment as I write -- following the energy.

I can look back on my life and see a path I've followed to learn about how I create in this world. Since August the path has been more and more about setting intentions (Abraham calls it segment intending). I found the intentions went before me during the day and I seemed to walk into the creating I desired.

Almost every day I set intentions and began posting some of them in my blog The Creation Box. The feelings and understanding I get when I write them is loving and complete, perhaps it's where I feel the blended state the most. My Inner Being has been calling me and the intentions were the way that I could feel the call the clearest.

This adjustment I can feel now has to do with letting go of what is not needed to live fully in this powerful now. This time it's not just decluttering by going through closets, it's letting go of a view that saw separation from love. It's an adjustment in the way I express energy in the world -- a new perspective on everything in the physical world and my relationship to it. Letting go of seeing me as my body, feeling free to allow myself the intimacy of the Love of the Universe meeting me in the physical world in everything I experience. To see myself as surrounded by love and being love myself. This might not be the right words to express this, but the feeling I have is when I truly love myself then I love the world. And I allow the world to love me. I allow Love to be All There Is. No separation. No them. No others. Now there is trust. Safety. Love. The Red Carpet to my desires. The Universe says Yes! And I say, whoohoo! That's what's blooming inside me right now like a rose.

Just relax and know that All Is Well. The transformation is happening more and more easily for those of you who understand and allow Love to flow in and through you. This is the easiest thing you can do in this life experience because it is who you truly are. @>----

This is the time of spiritual awakening, part I

Awakening Part II: Blending with my Inner Being

Wednesdays with Abraham: Birds as joyful expressions of Source Energy

Flying Seagull by Paraflyer
Birds, they are the symbol of Freedom. They are the closest thing to absolute, pure freedom you can visually witness in your physical experience. They are so flexible and so mobile and so light and so free and so joyful! They represent the pure essence of your Being -- and that is why you are drawn to them.

Abraham-Hicks, February 8, 1991

The birds of your planet are often messengers or translators of Non-Physical Energy; all beasts are, to a certain extent. But the birds of your planet are used often in that way. Non-Physical Energy, wanting to express something to physical, often finds a bird as a very easy messenger, because the birds are mobile, they are everywhere, and they are willing. And they are vibrationally intuitive, sensitive to vibration more so than most beasts, and therefore pliable to the will, if you will, of the Energy.

Abraham-Hicks, December 9, 2000

In February 2003 I was going through a very difficult time. I was in a living situation that wasn't working out at all, had health issues, hadn't been working and when I found a job, the training was almost more discouraging than not working.

I asked for a sign that I was going in the right direction and as I left training and drove through the large parking lot that cold, gray day a seagull appeared right beside my driver's window. I could have reached out and touched it if my window had been open. I stared at it in amazement as I drove to the end of the parking lot. It flew right beside me the whole time and when I reached the road it flew up and joined a partner that was circling high overhead.

There were several amazing things. One is that I didn't look ahead of me, I looked beside me at the seagull the whole time I drove safely through the parking lot. Another is that I live in the midst of farmland in the midwest, it was winter, and I'm not sure where a seagull could have come from. Maybe a big lake somewhere, but not especially close. They aren't a bird I've seen around here before or since, but I loved them when I used to live near the ocean.

That sweet being that chose to come and encourage me was right. The Universe got me out of that living situation and that job and into much better conditions within a month or two. When it happened it was quick! Started a new job, found a place to move to, packed and moved in 11 days. Things got much better and they get better all the time.

Blessings to our feathered friends. They are so full of joy and life. I love to watch them stretch up on their toes and sing with their whole bodies. Their comings and goings bring me delight.

Angels watch over them and guide us to treasure and cherish them in all that we do. Thank you, Beloved Presence, for Your love through our feathered friends. @>----

Wednesdays with Abraham: Abe's perspective on fear and negative emotions. Just relax. All is Well.

Struck Gold!!_7-13-08 by jimbrickett
This first long quote has so much good information. I've been thinking about negative feelings the last few days. It's amazing to me that all they mean is that I have a strong desire and a strong opposing belief. In my old way of thinking they seemed powerful and I attached them to conditions in the physical world. It's wonderful to realize that they aren't real at all and all I have to do is change my thoughts and the feelings change. I worked on it today and it's magic when it happens!

I have to laugh because I think it was this morning or yesterday I was grumbling to myself about how I wished only my good thoughts manifested. The thing is that I do want to feel better and love that feeling of relief Abe talks about.

And I've also been exploring how I influence the world and how others influence me which Abe talks about here.

Abe says it better. Here are nuggets of gold from Abraham:

GUEST: What causes my fear?

ABRAHAM: Fear is the feeling sensation that is present within you when you have both a desire and a belief that contradicts it. Fear is a response to the state of your vibration. You are a vibrational being, and every moment offering a signal. Your vibration could be called thought, it could be called memory, it could be called fantasy, it could be called imagination, it could be called Energy. In other words, your vibration could be called, "As I stand in my now, and I think about the present, or I think about the future, or I think about the past -- all of that is thought. Whatever it is I'm perceiving is causing me to offer a vibration, and that vibration is being answered or matched by All-That-Is."

So when I feel fear, what it always means is, I am offering a thought that you might call desire and a thought that you might call belief that are contradictory. The presence of fear always means the presence of resistance. The presence of resistance always means not allowing the Energy of desire to flow through me--always, without exception. Same with confusion; same with vulnerability; same with anger; same with unworthiness; same with guilt. All negative emotions mean the same thing. You just call them different things because they play out differently in your experience -- but they all mean the same thing.

The vibration of fear is usually a very strong vibration, which usually means there is the presence of a very strong desire within you. Often, when you feel fear, it is because you have a belief that contradicts basic elements that are natural to you. Your natural instinct, from your broadest Nonphysical perspective, is to know your power. Fear is a vibration when you feel powerless. Your natural instinctual Nonphysical vibration is to know your worthiness, know your rightness, know your value. And the feeling of fear is always when you are contradicting that thought.

We would want you to say, "Quite a bit of the time I feel fearful or vulnerable or limited, and what that feeling means is: I'm in that moment holding a desire that contradicts my past thought, or my beliefs..." Remember that a belief is just a thought you keep thinking, it's just a habit of thought. It's just sort of the way you've always thought it, and so it is the way you are now thinking it.

And so, as you are feeling fear, all it means is, "I've got a desire that my belief is not agreeing with. Now, what thought feels better about this? I've got hold of this stick, where my desire is here, my belief is here. What thought feels better?" And as you just softly talk to yourself about that subject, reaching for the thought that feels better, what happens is you shift the Energy.

It's like the teeter-totter on the fulcrum, and it's clearly down here, and you would like it to be up here. And so, you reach for the thought that feels better, and you reach for the thought that feels better, and you reach for the thought that feels better...and it doesn't look like anything's happening. And then, all of a sudden, one more time, you reach for the thought that feels better, and there it goes! The fear is gone without even knowing it, just by reaching for the thought that feels better. There is so much reward in just feeling better in your "now". Because, so often, you're wanting to reach for the thought that feels better because, "Whoop-de-doo, this is big time good fun!" In other words, "I want to get there! I would like every effort to take me there. I would like every thought that I think, and every time I go to a workshop, and every time I make a little bit of effort, I would like it to take me there!" And it's irritating that it doesn't take you there, to that manifestation.

We want you to not get so hung up on the manifestation, and start taking pleasure in the incremental relief. Pleasure in the fact that this feels a little better. Pleasure in the fact that you can actually, with your own will power and your own determination, choose a thought that feels better.

We offer an analogy, about the cork bobbing on the body of water. It's up here floating, floating, floating. And in our analogy this cork is bobbing in the place of Pure Positive Energy. When you take hold of the cork and hold it under the water, that's what negative emotion is. You're not allowing the natural quality of the cork, you're doing something that does not allow the cork to do what it usually would do. You're holding it in an unnatural place with your attention to this thought of something that you do not want.

But when you withdraw your attention from it, and you let go of the cork, it bobs right back up there. It is natural for you to be in this pure positive place. It is unnatural for you not to feel good. But what happens in your physical environment where you've been trained by other humans who didn't feel so good either is that you've come to accept the way you feel as being the natural way that you feel.

And now, through meditation, or through consciously reaching for the better feeling, you set higher standards. Until then it becomes consciously uncomfortable for you to dip into the lower Energies. You will never be at a place where you won't feel negative emotion. Nor would we ever want you to be at that place, because that would be like shooting Novocaine into your fingers so that you don't feel anything hot or sharp. You say, "Well, it sure is a lot better now that I can bang my hands on things. You know, I can shut my hands in car doors and it doesn't even bother me any more. I feel no pain." But it's not good for your fingers. Pretty soon you have flat, little flabby hands flapping around. You've destroyed your hands, even though it was painless.

And so, that's what that fear is. It's sort of an acquiescence. It's submission to a vibration that's not natural to who you really are. And you're awakening now to those higher standards.

Take mood checks and ask yourself, what is my mood? Well, I'm feeling fearful. And then ask yourself, well overall, do I have reason to fear? And as you reach for the more general statement, you recognize, you don't have anything to be fearful about.

We think what you're doing is sort of very specifically, channeling the worries of a larger mass consciousness. You are susceptible to Energy. And so, for example, if you were living in a retirement community where there were many people who were feeling vulnerable about their money, or feeling worried about what their future would provide, and you are sensitive to Energy, you could very well be picking up on the consensus of the group around you, even though it has nothing to do with who you are.

But you must have a little spattering of that within you, or you could not be finding harmony with that greater consensus. Every thought that has ever been thought exists. And then, by Law of Attraction, those thoughts coalesce, so that there are pockets of Thought Forms. And so, very often, just driving from city to city, if you are sensitive to vibration, you can feel different Energies in different cities. Well, what we are wanting you to do is get so good at setting your own Tone that it doesn't matter what the fluctuations of Energies are around you: you are always holding a steady course!

Abraham-Hicks, El Paso TX, February 12, 2000

There are those that say, if you do the uncomfortable thing long enough, it will become comfortable. But we are really not encouragers of that. We are encouragers of coming into alignment, and then taking the action. We are encouragers always of getting rid of the fear; we would never want you to keep doing things that you feel fearful about. And maybe the path of least resistance is just not get on the horse. Maybe the path of least resistance is to get on a different horse but we would never move forward in fear.

Abraham-Hicks, June 21, 2003

You are always molding yourselves into a better feeling place. And you will never get it done. It will never be completely finished. It will never be absolutely right. You will always have some dominant thoughts that are not a vibrational match to the newfound desire. But that is always what your work is.

And it's time for you to just begin relaxing about it, and not make it a personal issue of your own valor, or your own value, or your own integrity. In other words, it's just, how many times have I thought this thought?

Abraham-Hicks, San Rafael, CA, March 9, 2001

....And so, get clear and happy about whichever choice you make. Because it is your contradiction that causes the majority of the contradiction in vibration.

Abraham-Hicks, Los Angeles, CA, July 25, 1999

Your Inner Being, that from which you came, that Nonphysical Energy, that Source that is really you...that part of you vibrates at a very high, pure, fast frequency. And when you introduce a lower, slower vibration to that higher, faster one, the result of that resistance is a slowing of the vibration, and the way your sensors tell you that you have done that is through the way you feel. When you feel elation, when you feel joy, when you feel passion, when you feel love, when you feel appreciation...when you feel those emotions that you would call positive emotions, those emotions are your indicator, your "sixth sense", telling you that whatever it is that you are focused upon right now is, in this moment, vibrationally up to speed with your Source Energy.

Abraham-Hicks

You live in a state of grace. You forget that when you feel good, only good things can come to you. It's just a matter of relaxing, and things will come.

Abraham-Hicks, January 23, 1994

Wednesdays with Abraham: Just love and appreciate, and then turn that love towards yourself

Aphrodite's rose by alicepopkorn
I Can Always Enter My Vibrational Vortex of Creation... The key to getting inside your Vibrational Vortex of Creation; of experiencing the absolute absence of resistance; of achieving complete alignment with all that you have become and all that you desire, and of bringing to your physical experience everything that you desire - is being in the state of appreciation - and there is no more important object of attention to which you must flow your appreciation than that of self.

Abraham-Hicks, Excerpted from from Abraham's newest book, The Vortex Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships.

We've gotta tell you. Source within you adores you SOOOOO much, that when you think a thought that is other than that, you go right out of range of Source. Source never stops feeling it about you. But you vibrate yourself right out of range.

Then you say, "I feel unworthy!"

We say, "That's ridiculous! Just vibrate yourself back into range. Just vibrate back into range."

You say, "How do I do that when I am so terrible?"

Stop saying that, for one thing! Stop beating the drum of it for another. Start looking for evidence of some wellbeing or goodness within you. It might be buried deeply, but it IS in there!

Look for it!
Look for it!
Look for it!
Look for it!

When you look for it, you always find it, until before you know it, you feel like you are. [worthy]

Esther noticed it right from the beginning. She would bring herself into alignment with Abraham through meditation. And then through the years, she could easily get into alignment just in anticipation of a gathering like this. Even in the early days, she would notice that, when she walked off the stage and looked in the mirror back in her sleeping room, that as she was fresh from the full blown vibration of Abraham, she looked beautiful and lovely and there was a sense of adoring self she was not used to seeing.

Because for years, when she looked in the mirror, she didn't like that and she didn't like that and she felt bad about that and guilty about that...

You trained yourself to stop loving yourself. But when you see ANYTHING through the eyes of Source, you train yourself back into alignment.

Abraham-Hicks, Asheville, NC, May 29, 2009

Most of you have been hard on yourselves for a long time.

It doesn't matter who the object of your attention is when you are loving. When you love, you are in the vortex.

So find a child and love them, and in the vortex you'll go. Find a dog and love him, and into the vortex you'll go. Find a flower and appreciate it, and into the vortex you'll go.

And once you have shown yourself what a lover you can be, then you can begin turning that lens of love toward yourself.

Abraham-Hicks, Asheville, NC, May 29, 2009

Awakening Part II: Blending with my Inner Being

I Have a Secret by Gettys Girl
Since posting Awakening part I I've been exploring what the awakening means to me and what I can do with this new energy.

When we blend ingredients for a cake or a drink we have a new creation and while we may be able pick out and taste separate elements, it is having them together in this special way that makes them delicious. So it is with me and my Inner Being.

I've realized that the awakening for me means living in a blended state with my Inner Being. While I'm still aware of what I think of as "me" and non-physical, there is something intriguingly new. Others like Lester Levenson have attained blended spiritual states which they were able to stay in balance with the rest of their lives. They didn't follow one path to this state of being, but found it in ways that are as individual as the people themselves. The difference now is that the energy is here to support all of us in living in our version of blended bliss.

I have been exploring how I influence the "outside world" and have had a couple of fun experiences riding the energy to meet manifested desires which I'll talk about in other posts. I'll begin with setting intentions.

The blended experience is an interaction

I started working with intentions about the same time as I started this blog. I noticed I felt good when I wrote the intentions. As a matter of fact, they felt so good that I kept working with them in different ways to extend them more into my life.

One day I noticed that when I wrote out intentions I would walk into what I had intended later that day or the next. It was as if they went before me and were waiting for me. The emotions were there that I wanted and all that I needed to take action was provided. It was easy, intriguing, unexpected and kind of magical.

For a month or so I've noticed some changes. I get the intentions started with a few words and then instead of thinking it myself, the words form in my mind almost like channeling or like the authors who say the book wrote itself.

Blending has a vibration of harmony for me

The word harmony has been standing out for me. My intentions lately have included harmonizing with my Inner Being, with my Vibrational Family or with Well-Being. I've always liked the word and used it for years to affirm that I walk the path of harmony in jobs or relationships. Now I feel its vibration as a golden hum that seems to be what the word blending means to me. There's still me having this physical experience and my Inner Being having the broader experience, but we vibrate together most pleasantly.

Blending is a more intimate feeling of creating

It is as easy to create a castle as a button. It's just a matter of whether you're focused on a castle or a button.

Abraham-Hicks, Boca Raton, FL, January 12, 1997

When I have a desire it's getting to be second nature to say it as an intention. At first I sensed the words creating around me like a daydream that's coming to life. The words I'm saying feel real and I feel excited. It's as if I can tell the bricks are being added to the wall, windows put in and someone's laying the sod for this particular castle. And recently I've been seeing images which pop-up very clearly in my mind. I know those things are there for me.

With intentions I'm aware of my part in co-creating

Intentions have accelerated the harmonizing/blending process for me. When I first began saying them I could feel I was taking responsibility for what I was intending. I wasn't sending my desires winging off into the unknown or asking a greater power for it, I was the point of power in that moment and I had to claim it.

While Source Energy does the creating, my personal power is summoning the energy by sending out my desires with belief that they are good and that the Universe is loving.

Blending is the trust in letting my desires fly free and allowing the energy to flow through me as I go to meet them coming to life in the physical world.

Wednesdays with Abraham: Some soothing thoughts about negative emotions

~may you fly free in your heart with confidence and joy~
by alicepopkorn
Our Source Is One of Love, Not Condemnation... When you pay attention to the way you feel, and deliberately choose more thoughts that feel good while you think them, you will begin to recognize the nature of your Broader Non-Physical desires. The majority of negative emotions that you feel are not because the subject of your thought is wrong, but instead, because you are condemning something that your Source does not condemn. Your Source is one of love, not one of condemnation.

Abraham-Hicks, Excerpted from Abraham's newest book, "The Vortex: Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships."

Something we've been observing in you as you've been deliberately applying the law of attraction and deliberately applying your desire to be deliberate creators, and deliberately wanting to allow - what we've noticed, almost without exception among you, is that when you feel negative emotion, you feel wrongdoing in that moment. And we've never intended to imply that to you, we didn't really. You just picked it up because you're used to beating up on yourself. And because your physical training teaches you more clearly to know what you don't want than what you do want.

What we are wanting you to realize is that negative emotion is a wonderful thing, because negative emotion is part of that guidance system that shows you how you are flowing energy. So next time you feel a negative emotion, rather than saying "Agh, shame on me, here I am doing it again, I keep doing this dumb thing" Instead of beating up on yourself, instead feel appreciation for your AWARENESS that you are feeling negative emotion "Ah, my guidance system is working - I can feel that I am flowing energy in the opposite direction of something I want."

Whether it's a flurry or a ruckus you are having with your child - or whether it is an animal you do not understand, or whether it is a mate that doesn't appreciate you, whether it's not having enough money, or whether it's having a body that doesn't cooperate, or whether it's having a dog that is biting you. It doesn't matter what the negative experience you are having in the moment is. The only thing that matters is that out of it is coming a keener awareness of what you are wanting.

Abraham-HIcks

Thank you, Darling Abraham. I love you guys. @>----

Turning back doesn't work: Lot's wife turning to a pillar of salt

This is an excerpt of my affirmation post about remembering for The Creation Box:

I remember that I never get it done and I relax and enjoy the journey. I remember that it's a sure thing and I look forward to the gift of each moment.... I remember that my true nature is love. I remember that I am safe and loved and that this life is meant to be an adventure. I remember that joy is my purpose and I choose thoughts that fill me with happiness.... If I look back Abraham and my Inner Being remind me to turn to around....

When I wrote "If I look back Abraham and my Inner Being remind me to turn around," I had a flash that this was a metaphysical meaning of the story of Lot's wife turning to a pillar of salt. Lot's wife literally stopped living when she turned back, but we all experience that loss of delicious life energy when we turn from love to worry or look back to focus on difficulties.

In Abraham's terms we become one with the vibration of whatever we are focused on. Because the life-giving, ever present Divine energy flows downstream in eternal creating, there is only Now. We are always becoming "more" and life and fun and adventure and all the good stuff we desire is downstream for us.

I'm obviously not a Biblical scholar, this was just the insight I had and I like it because it gives me a physical sense of what happens when I worry or stew about anything. I'm not concerned about stopping worrying altogether, I just appreciate finding thoughts and ideas that make it easy to turn my thinking around. This gives me a sensory experience that makes it easier to look forward to love.

For every pleasing thing, there is an unpleasing counterpart, for within every particle of the Universe is that which is wanted as well as the lack of that which is wanted. When you focus upon an unwanted aspect of something in an effort to push it away from you, it only comes closer, because you get what you give your attention to whether it is something that you want or not. It is up to you to focus upon and attract what is wanted.

Abraham-Hicks, Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness"

What-is has no bearing on what is coming unless you are continually regurgitating the story of what is. By thinking and speaking more of how you really want your life to be, you allow what you are currently living to be the jumping-off place for so much more. But if you speak predominantly of what-is, then you still jump off ­but you jump off into more of the same.

Abraham-Hicks, Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness"

Just hold in your mind the idea of the Stream that is flowing mightily towards all the things that you want and then just figure out how to get yourself going with the Flow. If you'll focus upon that, and that alone, everything that you've dreamed for will manifest so quickly.

Abraham-Hicks, Law of Attraction Directly from Source CD, Track 9

"Could I think too little about my desire, for it to manifest?" Actually, no, because as the contrast launches the desire, and then you do not offer any opposing thought, then you're letting it in, and it will manifest.

.... Let the variety of your life keep balance in your life. You just concentrate more on holding yourself in the good-feeling place where you're letting it in.

Abraham-Hicks, Boston, MA , October 7, 2000

People say, "The joy is in the journey," but they rarely understand what they are saying. You are in this focused time/space reality with goals and objectives that call you because as you identify a desire it literally summons life through you. Life summoning through you is what it's all about --it's not the completion of anything.

Abraham-Hicks, Chicago, IL, November 1, 1998

....there is no end that you're going toward. We are all on a perpetual cycle of joyous becoming....

Abraham-Hicks, Spokane, WA, May 30, 2000
