Have some fun with a video about office camouflage techniques

The speaker is Russian, but we don't have to understand the words. It's hilarious. Enjoy!!



If you have a problem viewing it, the YouTube URL is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0FTBKXl2CA

There was a comment on YouTube translating it loosely: The guy is on the phone saying he can't find the address -- then he sees an 8 on the dumpster and the name VigVam. He finally finds the office and says he's looking for required state insurance. Everyone bails. It ends saying if they don't want a problem with this insurance then they should go with a reliable company. He adds that it's amazingly accurate!

Wednesdays with Abraham: A little magic and a whooole lotta kissin' goin' on

summer is dancing by alicepopkorn

We're asking you to trust in the Well-being. In optimism there is magic. In pessimism there is nothing. In positive expectation there is thrill and success. In pessimism or awareness of what is not wanted, there is nothing. What you're wanting to do is redefine your relationship with the Stream. We do not ask you to look at something that is black and call it white. We do not ask you to see something that is not as you want it to be and pretend that it is. What we ask you to do is practice moving your gaze. Practice changing your perspective. Practice talking to different people. Practice going to new places. Practice sifting through the data for the things that feel like you want to feel and using those things to cause you to feel a familiar place. In other words, we want you to feel familiar in your joy. Familiar in your positive expectation, familiar in your knowing that all is well, because this Universe will knock itself out giving you evidence of that Well-being once you find that place. We have enjoyed this interaction immensely. There is great love here for you. We are complete.

Abraham-Hicks, San Rafael, CA, March 4, 1998

You are an extension of Source Energy. You are one who loves, and you are one who loves to think, and you are one who loves to create, and you are one who loves to contemplate. You’re one who enjoys stimulation of thought. You’re one who enjoys choosing; you enjoy considering; you enjoy pondering; you enjoy fashioning. You enjoy putting things together. You enjoy figuring things out. You enjoy knowing. You enjoy not being sure and then becoming more sure. You enjoy the evolution of a thought. You enjoy the expansion of an idea. You enjoy the expansion of life experience. You enjoy the pleasure of being this genius focused in the most creative environment that has ever existed, for the fulfillment of things that satisfy you.

You are liquid love in physical bodies, wanting, more than life itself, because it is life itself, to adore the vessel that’s you through which this Source Energy flows. You are God. You are Source. You are creator.

You always feel good from your Source Energy perspective.

You don’t feel regret; you don’t feel doubt; you don’t feel worry; you don’t feel shame; you don’t feel guilt; you don’t feel anger; you don’t feel hate… You feel joy; you feel appreciation; you feel worthiness; you feel eagerness; you feel passion.

You feel like the little kids feel—watch them: they’re sure; they’re arrogant; they’re not afraid. You say, “They’re not smart enough to be afraid.” We say, they are still smart—and not afraid. You say, “But they don’t know enough to worry.” And we say, they know everything—and they do not worry. The children are still more vibrationally imbued with that feeling of passion and joy—and that is what this work is about. It’s to assist you in returning to the natural state of Well-being—the natural state of being that is really You.


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

...We are right back to what we are talking about earlier, you have to selfishly daydream. When you were children, oh you daydreamed so easily, you went to those places so easily, and you took such pleasure from them. And it was hard for physical people around you to get you back from that, you naturally went there! And why did you go? Did you go to get work done? Did you go to fix things that were broken? You went because it was the most natural, pleasurable thing for you to do, for you to exercise your creative mind in those ways you see. And that's what the work still is, exercising your creative mind. But your personal pleasure must still be the reason, not to make a business, not to fix something that is broken, you must visualize for your personal selfish pleasure. And that’s a whole other workshop isn't it? Being selfish enough to do anything for your pleasure....

Abraham-Hicks, February 3, 2001

[A woman asked if her grandfather kissed her cheek when he passed away, as it seemed he did. "Is this correct?" she asked.]

Abe: It is. The most significant thing is that you were in a place of allowing yourself the translation of the energy that was that. And it doesn't have to happen just at the time of transition, ­angels are kissing you all over the place all the time!

In other words, you are getting all kinds of nudges and pats on the back and expressions of encouragement and feelings of pride and soothing in times that you are wanting soothing. Those nonphysical energies are fully aware of you. The question is, are you letting it in.

And as you say, oh that’s silly, that could not possibly have been. The wind must have blown my hair across my face…. And we say, so be it. Let it be whatever you are wanting it to be. But there’s a whooole lotta kissin’ going on!


Abraham-Hicks, Chicago, IL, 2001

All Is Well

Wednesdays with Abraham and Suzanne: Lining up with the Awakening

Well, I had an idea of what I wanted to say and the quotes I was going to choose, but I'm getting firm inner guidance to post these and in this order. I'm a bit surprised, but when this happens there has always been a good reason. There is a vibration to the energy of the words and I trust that this is the vibration that matches Well-Being so I send it out to you:

We are wanting to communicate further to you on the topic of the Holy Transformation that is now taking place, for all of you are affected by it whether you participate consciously or not. We want you to know that it is good. This transformation is the Second Coming that was predicted. It is not a mystery, but had been hidden due to the fears of man about the experience of Oneness. For the transformation is the Grace of experiencing your true nature -- your Holy nature as a child of God. It is nothing more or less than your natural state of joy and love expressing in these bodies and in this world. It is more than expressing though, it is a joining with the natural state of all things for there is naught but Love, naught but Grace, naught but the Glorious Presence that fills all hearts with Joy, that expresses as Life itself. We wish to speak clearly for this message has been given in mysteries down through the ages to keep it alive in the hearts and minds of men and women. Please know that this has been coming before the age of Christ. It is an ancient truth that has been lived on the earth before and will again. There have been other civilizations that were aware of their spiritual nature and followed the path of Truth in their own way. But this time it is for all. It is for the earth. It is for all of life in this space time continuum. It is not the ending, but the beginning of a greater expression of life and a true experience and enjoyment of the purpose of living in these bodies and experiencing the physical plane. From this clay great things will be created. Greater than you can imagine. Your brother Christ expressed it saying this and more that you would do. This is the truth. The Light has come into its own in every heart and mind. It is there. It is expressing. Have no doubts. Be at peace for it is good.

You are loved more than you could ever know with an everlasting love. We feel much joy in your presence and in the life that you are. We are your brothers in spirit and in truth. We are the Brotherhood of the Fifth Dimension.

By Suzanne, Words of Well-Being, February 6, 2007

There's power in the words "What does it feel like?" You see, you can generate the feeling just by wanting the feeling. Most of you go about it the hard way. You try to create a circumstance that will then generate a feeling response, but by going right for the feeling, the Universe will take you at your feeling vibration. The Universe doesn't ask for any justification. If you offered a feeling of being slender, The Universe wouldn't say, "Aah, aah, aah. That's not justified. You're not slender yet."

The Universe does not know whether the vibration that you're offering is because of something you're observing or something you're remembering or something that you are imagining. It just receives the vibration and answers it with things that match it. And every part of the Universe including the cells of your body begin to respond to that vibration.


Abraham-Hicks

"Is it reality, or is it not reality? All things are reality. Even if only one is imagining it, it is a reality in that the thought has been offered and someone, who has the ability to translate that vibration, will perceive it. It must be fair to say that anything that can be perceived must be reality. Because, as creators, your reality depends upon what you are willing to imagine and allow.

Abraham-Hicks, August 19, 2000

You understand the game of inclusion relative to some things.

Pretend that you’re standing in front of a cookie counter, and there are many kinds of cookies there -- just about every kind you’ve ever heard of is represented in this magnificent bakery.

When you stand there, inclusion comes natural to you doesn’t it. You say, ‘Well I’d like one of those and I’d like one of those.’ You don’t say, ‘Oh, look at those icky peanut butter cookies.’ You don’t say, ‘I worry that those peanut butter cookies are going to take over the counter.’ You don’t say, ‘We’d better get rid of those peanut butter cookies because you know how they spread. If we don’t nip it in the bud, they will take over.’

In other words, you don’t play the game of exclusion when you’re talking about cookies, and what we would like you to understand is it’s all about cookies.

You live in a land of contrast because contrast is essential to decision. But if you will become includers of what you do want rather than excluders of what you don’t want, you’ll purify [not contradict] your Energy. And when you begin to line up your Energy, you will be amazed at how fast the Universe responds to you.

Instant manifestations will become a daily occurrence for you when you, yourself, are not contradicting your own vibrational desires.


Abraham-Hicks, June 6, 1996

It isn't WHAT you eat, it's how you feel when you eat it.
It isn't WHAT you say, it's how you feel when you say it.
It isn't WHAT you do, it's how you feel when you do it.
It's ONLY how you feel.

Wednesdays with Abraham: The Vortex. Say Yes!

Apophysis-Starfish In Seashell by HocusFocusClick

Jerry and Esther's daily quotes have included excerpts from their new book, The Vortex: Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships. The quotes I've seen give more details about how it all works and I love understanding that. I have lots of pre-publishing excitement built up!

The Law of Attraction Assembles all cooperative Relationships... So here is this Vortex of becoming - a Vortex that contains all of the requests, all of the amended requests - each and every detail of each and every asking that has emanated from you - and the Law of Attraction is responding to that. Envision this swirling, swirling, swirling Vortex and the power of attraction that is amassed as the Law of Attraction responds to this pure, nonresisted, focused desire. The Vortex is literally drawing in all things necessary for the completion of every request it contains. All cooperative components are being summoned and are coming for the completion of these creations, for the answering of these questions, for the solutions to these problems.

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

You can control the direction of your thought. Therefore, you can control the way you feel.

And when you do that for just a little while so that you consistently allow yourself on the verge of, or into, the vortex, now you're in there where the cooperative components are. Now the manifestations can begin to show up in your experience.


Abraham-Hicks, San Antonio, TX, April 18, 2009

Say yes to whatever it is. Because if you say yes to it and then you get in the middle of it, and you say, "Uh oh, this isn't really turning out the way I wanted it to," then out of that is born another desire. And as you say yes to that, then it turns out. And you say, "Well, it's still not quite right." So you have another desire... Until eventually you get it exactly right. You cannot get it wrong. No creation is ever complete. Just do it.

Abraham-Hicks, Tucson, AZ, February 15, 2000

All is well.

Update August 15, 2009: Epiphany

I just wrote a reply to Annie's comment and realized that even the title of The Vortex: Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships gives me a new perspective. "Assembling all cooperative relationships" are all of the Yeses to the Universe, including ours!

I can see how powerful it is when we say yes to the Universe because it moves us into our vortex and the Law of Attraction gathers us up with the other cooperative relationships saying yes. And the more we say yes and the clearer we are the more we fine tune the stream of our desire. As we thought about a desire, we have wanted many different things. We are actually choosing which good stream of ours we will join when we say yes. We are saying how much good stuff we will allow ourselves!

That's why it's so important to visualize what we want and let our minds play -- because we allow ourselves to open up to more good than we could imagine as we look around us in our physical experience. The Law of Attraction is doing the assembling of what we desire and we don't have to know how it will happen. All we have to do is imagine it and enjoy the feeling.

Saying yes is following our bliss. And the more we follow it the easier it becomes. The more we are used to feeling good, the more we allow ourselves to feel even better. We become comfortable with that good feeling energy.

Our vortex is a place of harmony, of cooperative relationships. We are like a fine instrument and when we are in the energy of our vortex those delightful feelings are the song we are playing. You know what it sounds like when someone makes a clunker or a wrong note in a song. The clunker is lack thinking. The clearer we are about what we want and the more it is in alignment with our intentions, the more our song is in harmony and the better we feel!

And when we say yes to lack of love in any way we are also joining a stream, but it is the mass consciousness which is created by others in this physical expression. It is outside of our vortex. When we let go of that physical mass consciousness stream and say yes to Love -- to the Universe -- we join in with the loving Source Energy that creates worlds.

Wow. This is powerful stuff!!

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

Part I: This is the time of Awakening

White Rose NoID by van swearingen

This is one of the most remarkable times of physical man being physically focused and Non-physically intertwined. It's the reason we call it time of awakening. So let's begin by saying, you wouldn't have missed it for anything. Every Non-physical Energy of good report, praiseworthy and eager to be of value to the Universe and to the All-That-Is, is present in some form or other on this planet at this time. We don't know of any intense Energy that is not represented by one of you. In other words, we are here in all of our fanfare and all of our glory to experience the remarkable planet Earth experience.

Abraham-Hicks, February 12, 1994

I've had the desire to write posts about the time of awakening for many weeks. Now is the time. It feels to me like the flower has opened and the Energy is being expressed clearly in all aspects of our lives here on planet Earth.

I've always been interested in change in society. I was an earth mother, flower child in college in the late 60's and early 70's. What I wanted then was to create a world where we worked out our disagreements and war just wasn't considered an option.

I saw that it wasn't possible to change the whole world and explored many New Age and spiritual ideas. I found Jane Roberts and Seth when I lived in Virginia Beach in the 70's and 80's. This gave me an intellectual understanding that I created my own reality, but I couldn't get my hands on the wheel and make it work for me. Abraham gave me the information I needed when I found them in the fall of 2003. I dove in with all four feet. Thank you, Abraham!

I'm so drawn to the change that is happening in society now. I've observed the appearance of chaos and felt bad. And I've also observed how much communication is going on, how people are drawing conclusions about how they want to be and what they want in life and I've felt very good. I see so much that is good!

What I've been doing is working to understand how to be a part of the change and stay in balance and be clear about what I want. This is clear to me: a river of swift energy flows through me in response to this change and it's joyful to follow. So, I'm in!

I feel like I'm just catching up with myself where the energy in the outer is matching the inner -- that this is why I came here in this particular physical experience. And now with Abraham's information, I have deliberate creating tools and ways to come into emotional balance that I didn't have before.

One thing I understand now that I didn't in the 60's is that each one of us is a powerful creator. I don't have to change anyone else's mind for me to have what I want. We don't all have to agree. No one is "broken." I don't need to be fixed. No one needs to be fixed. The earth doesn't need to be fixed. And above all, it doesn't matter what anyone else does, we each create our own world.

So, why am I who I am, and why am I born to who I am born to, and why is it set up the way it is set up?" We say, "For the fun of it. For the joy of it. For the expansion of it. For the growth of it. For the difference in it. For the desire producing value in it."

Abraham-Hicks, Tarrytown, NY, October 17, 1998

All I need to do is follow the joy within me. I've been exploring that in my personal life, but I also find this time in the United States right now very exciting. It seems as chaotic, fluid and creative as when our country was founded. We have a president who cares and solicits our opinion, who wants us to say what we want, who wants us to take part in creating what we want and the Universal energy, the change in consciousness of the awakening, is here for us to access more easily than ever before in our history. We can use it to follow our personal bliss and by deliberately creating we can also use it a new way in co-creating the world we desire. That's powerful stuff!

We have seen all of the humans who have lived all of the lives and we have never seen anything with the potential of what you all stand on now. The potential for joy in this time/space reality is beyond anything that anyone has ever lived.

If we were standing in your physical shoes (i.e., big suggestion), we would be milking it, we would be using every excuse that we could possibly find to connect to the energy that is really you.


Abraham-Hicks, San Diego, CA, 2004

Abraham has advised us to realize the value of contrast because it is from this contrast that we launch our desires. The Energy that creates worlds flows through us to our desires and we came here to ride that current. Each generation has allowed more freedom and now we have a time when we can blend with our Inner Being --to be non-physical beings living a physical experience. We are free to create socially and in our personal lives like never before. This is a powerful time and I'm eager to be with others and extend Well-Being into this beautiful world.

There are those who believe that the world is getting more and more desperate. We are here to tell you that the world is getting better and better, and better, and that every experience you have causes you to launch rockets of desires, and Source comes in response to those rockets. And the best thing about your birth and death is that the resistant ones die and the allowing ones are born. And with this combination of contrast that keeps you launching new and new desires, it’s no wonder that the Universe is expanding in this marvelous way and that life is getting better, in every day­ and in this moment­ for everyone who insists on focusing there.

Abraham-Hicks, Portland, OR, July 12, 2003

It's a very good time.

More later!

Abraham-Hicks: Let the vortex have its way with you

Sunny Side Up by code poet

Abraham uses a slightly different wording about following our bliss which gives me a new perspective:

You are not a do-er. You are a be-er. You are an offerer of vibration, you see.

That doesn't mean that we want you to stop having activity. Activity is delicious. We just want your emphasis to be upon your vibrational countenance. And if your emphasis on your vibrational countenance, now Law of attraction is arranging action and activities that are blissful and delightful in nature, you see.

Most action that you offer outside the vortex is hard work, it's struggle. It takes a lot of effort because you are bucking your own current. It takes all you can do just to maintain your status quo, you see. But when you let go of that struggle and you let the vortex have its way with you...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...


Abraham-Hicks, Albuquerque, NM, April 7, 2009

All is well.

These are the words: "when...you let the vortex have it's way with you...." This is Love Itself they are talking about. When we follow our bliss we let go and let Love have it's way with us. To lead us to our desires. To delight us with gifts that are more than we imagined. More fun. More loving. More magical in their manifestation. More!!!

And we let the vortex have it's way with us when we surrender to love. By loving ourselves. By loving what we see. By having fun. Source Energy calls to us with good feelings that get better and better and better as we follow them to harmony with who we really are.

There is only a stream of Well-Being so love is everywhere. Beauty. Abundance. Last night there was the most amazing sunset and I've been remembering it with pleasure this morning: golden rimmed rose beneath lavender clouds.

For me, deliberate creating has been a process of trust. Of learning that I don't have to be watchful. I can trust this Loving Universe and when I do, not only are the results magical, but I experience the most wonderful feeling of freedom and love.

Wednesdays with Abraham: All you have to do is feel good

Lapis dream by zenera

You have control over all things. Control isn't a word that we are really wanting to use because it really is in the releasing of your attempt to control conditions and circumstances that you really relax in the flow of Well-Being. When you give up trying to control conditions and you instead just go with the flow of what feels best to you, then the conditions take care of themselves.

Abraham-Hicks, Washington D.C., May 13, 2005

You set it up so well before you got here. You are an extension of something so wonderful and it is inevitable that things go well for you.

Your life extracts from you clarity, and the resources of Source assist you all day every day. This little bit of conscious awareness will serve you all the days of this physical life.

Be easy about it, don't make a big thing about it, don't seek healing, just seek relief.

Don't seek improvement, just seek relief.

Don't seek solutions, just seek relief.

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.

But it won't be the end of your dreams, you greedy little buggers! For each new thing that comes will bring with it a vantage point from which you will want again. And so it will always be. It always has been and always will be.

There is Great Love here for you. And for now we remain, incomplete.
