Deliberate Reality Creation

Abraham-Hicks: Breaking free from addiction, 12 steps

2011-11-29T16:07:00.063-05:00

I just listened to a couple of sections of the Beyond the 12 Steps DVD. Abraham is pointing out that addiction to substances are an attempt to regain control of our experience, when our true empowerment comes from realizing that we have the power to change our thoughts and feel better.

There were some soothing thoughts that I liked and wanted to share. Abraham describes what they would say to someone who was addicted and wanted to break free.

The first thing we would say to them is, you have greater control of your life than you know, but it’s all right if you don’t know it right now.

That seems like the perfect stance for any situation in which we feel overwhelmed or can't find the better feeling thoughts. I also liked the thought that the addiction is the desire to feel better in a world where the person doesn't feel in control.

If you could separate your body from this substance for as short as three days, the cellular calling would cease. No matter what it is, the cellular calling would cease. But we don’t think it’s the cellular craving that is at the heart of these addictions. It’s the vibrational imbalance and the insatiable desire to feel better in a world that you can’t find a way of feeling better because it feels like it’s in control of you. So you have to come back into your personal power, before, before you have control of what’s happening in your experience....

Do you know that when we address an audience like this it is very common to find these students and teachers of Abraham to also be in the classification of addicted to some sort of drug or alcohol. And the reason is that you came forth with such intensity of wanting to uplift. The knowing within you of who you really are is vibrating so powerfully within you that when something in your society or in your family or up close to you caused you to see life or see yourself as different than who you really are because your stream was flowing so powerfully you took it really, really hard. In other words, you’re sensitive and it’s painful and then you want to do something to mute the pain.

Abraham-Hicks, Beyond the 12 Steps: Breaking Free of Addiction DVD

There are as many paths to empowerment and alignment as there are people. Appreciation and loving self are lovely paths.

We wish every moment of your experience to be joyful like it is for us. We want you to look around your world and not worry, but to revel in its beauty. We want you to look around your own life and not worry, but to revel, in its magnificence. We want you to look at your own body and not nitpick about a wrinkle or an extra pound, or 20 or 30 or 40.

We want you to look at yourself and adore yourself. If you will make this small effort to appreciate you and what is yours now, you will soften, so quickly, any resistance that has been keeping you apart from the things you want. It is the magic formula that you’ve been looking for. It is the key to your blending. It is the key to your allowing. It is the key to you getting what you want. It is the key to your abundance, your clarity, and to your stamina. It is the key to your energy. It is the key to your vitality. It is the key to your flexibility. It is the key to your wellness. It is the key to all things that feel good to you.

Make some small effort, every chance you get, at looking at where you stand now and doing your best to soothe and appreciate you now, to soothe and appreciate your Now.

Abraham-Hicks, September 1, 2004, Albuquerque, NM

Intentions: The process of becoming and being

2011-10-24T14:51:00.007-04:00

I've written many times about my favorite deliberate creating tool, intentions, and how powerful they are for me. I like to start my day by sitting down and just listening inside to what I would like to create each day. As I do this I write it down in a spiral notebook. When I'm doing this listening and writing I feel like I'm looking inside my body and summoning who I am into my conscious awareness. Vague desires about what I would like to be or have become much clearer to me.

When I first wrote intentions they were for things I wanted to get done during the day. I might have written that I wanted the energy and enthusiasm to clean the kitchen. I realized how powerful they were when I found that I walked into these creations during the day and all of a sudden I would find myself easily and energetically getting things done.

I became more interested in writing desires for states of being than for getting things done. As a matter of fact, I've been exploring the desire to merge with my extended self and live in a blended state of balance in this physical experience. I would ask myself what that would be like this moment, this day and listen for the answer. I was just looking through a notebook filled with daily intentions and realized my process for working with intentions has been the merging and blending I asked for. When I listen and pull forth the desires, they are my desires for "becoming." As I clarify, my extended self becomes my desire immediately. And during the day I have been walking into and "being" what it is I asked for. I've been feeling like I've been creating myself every day. It's like I've been writing a story of who I am and then living it. Very interesting!

I'm very excited about this new awareness and feel I can really begin to play with creating. I feel like anything is possible!

You have not come here to prove yourselves worthy. You've come here because you saw physical life experience as delicious and you wanted the experience. You wanted the environment, you wanted the data, you wanted the process, you wanted the sensualness, you wanted the physicalness of thought, you wanted the combination of that which you are from Inner Perspective and that which you are from physical perspective -- because the combination is so very, very good.

Abraham-Hicks, May 2, 1992

Trust your desires, they are good and they are who you really are

2011-09-27T12:38:00.082-04:00

Abraham often uses the analogy of traveling from Phoenix to San Diego to explain the value of our feelings. Emotions are sign posts on whatever journey we are traveling in the same way the mile post signs point the way to San Diego. Our positive feelings on the subject tell us we are going in the direction of our desires. Source Energy and our Inner Being go immediately to our desires so our negative feelings give us the measure of the gap we think is there between us and our desires.

One journey I am on is turning around some thinking about my body that came from experiences when I was very young. The conflicting beliefs are those I heard or chose to think from my experiences.

I feel strongly about the direction I want to go, natural health and thinking my way to Well-Being. When we feel strongly about taking a certain path in spite of what others think or say, even doctors, it's important to see our desire as positive. It is ours. Our Inner Being IS our desires manifested in spirit. It is who we are.

And Source does lead us in the way we want to go. It’s a matter of listening to the emotional guideposts in that direction and following the impulses to take action. It may be supplements or eating a certain way. I have been guided to wonderful doctors and healers in my life.

I have been back around family for several years now and those old beliefs were activated. This area doesn't seem to be as rich in the open thinking and healing resources I had before. I felt conflict between what others (doctors and others) said and what I wanted to do. I realized that even here, the choice is to believe in my desires and all else will fall into place.

This post is meant to be an encouragement to you if you have a desire that doesn't seem to fit what you have been taught in the past or that others don't agree with now.

Faster than you can speak it, the Energy begins to flow and circumstances and events, in an orchestration that we cannot begin to describe, begin to take place in order to give you exactly what you want -- and if it were not for your resistance, it would come really fast, you see.

You don't have to keep telling the Universe what you want. You really only have to tell the Universe once. The advantage of continuing to talk about it is that you get clearer about it. In other words, usually you cannot speak everything that you want with your first statement, and so, the more you talk about it the more you fine-tune it.

But as you say, I want it, the Universe begins it, and then you say, I would like it to be this way, and the Universe modifies that, and then you say a little bit of this would be nice, and the Universe...you see what we're getting at? And once you are clear about what you want, once you have zeroed in on it and you know what you want -- it is on the way to you. It is done. The manifestation of it will probably follow later, because there is, most often, enough resistance so that you don't have it instantly.

The Universe will never fail you.

The Universe will always give you what you have asked for. The question is, how soon will you allow it?

Abraham-Hicks: What it means when we "read" another's vibration

2011-09-20T20:00:00.100-04:00

In Abraham's Syracuse, NY workshop, October 1, 2003, the gentleman in the hot seat told Abraham that when he is interacting with others he's beginning to feel their vibration.

I'm paraphrasing Abraham here who answered that it’s like a reading about the person, but it's more about this man's relationship to where he wants to go. It gives him a reading about how that person's vibration is affecting him. As he focuses on another's vibration it becomes part of his vibration. In this way he can tell the people who are a good match for him.

Abraham was saying to be willing to read others, but don’t make it too important. You have already asked the Universe to match you. So if someone is before you who is not a good match, don’t delve too deeply into the reading because then you try to explain why you’re getting the reading. “I’m not making this up. I can really feel that they’re not going to do what I want them to do.” All that does is hold you in that vibration longer which makes that distance all the further apart. [end paraphrasing.]

I don't have the quote, but in another workshop Abraham said if we had a bad feeling it didn't mean something bad would happen, it was just a measure of the distance between our beliefs and where we were focusing our attention and where our extended self was focusing attention.

I have had intuitions since I was in high school and always thought of it as guidance from Spirit. I like this information. My feelings are not a prediction of something outside of myself that I have no control over, it's still a measure of the distance between my Inner Being and my focus and how I'm thinking -- that's something I have the power to change.

One thing I've always liked about Abraham's information is how empowering it is. We really do have control over our experience this way. We have control over how we feel and that's what it's all about.

Contrast helps you to identify desire. Desire is summoning. It's always flowing through you. You have the opportunity of opening to the harmony of the vibration of your desire or not. As the desires are being summoned through you, and you go with the flow, you thrive, but if you use things to be your excuse for not going with the flow, you are arguing for your limitations. We want to show you how to go with the flow. Which means nothing more than finding vibrational harmony with your own desire, and letting the Universal Energy that your desire is summoning to it flow to it through you. It is optimum creative experience.

Abraham-Hicks: Decluttering and manifestation

2011-09-12T21:47:00.003-04:00

I really enjoy the process of decluttering and have been going through my stuff looking for things no longer needed or wanted. Things I don't need just seem like dead weight taking up space.

As I pick up each item I listen within and ask if I'm going to need it or not and ask what to do with it. Thoughts of people who might like it pop into my head. Any action I want to take has become clear. Years ago I held yard sales, but it doesn't appeal to me now. But it's so useful, I might get money for it! Well, the thing is that money comes to me easily in other ways that are fun. When I first found out about Abraham I found a $100 bill on the sidewalk -- not near a house or car -- just laying there smiling at me. Is this loving Universe playful or what!?

I have the opportunity to let go of old beliefs, too. This time I'm noticing that a lot of the things I've kept were "just in case they might come in handy some day." The pull to keep them is still there (but it's so useful!). I notice it's getting easier and easier to let go of that belief as I go along and it's becoming fun to choose thoughts that feel better. As a matter of fact I feel an impatience with it. I have a growing feeling of confidence that whatever I need is provided for me right now. What manifestation of a new desire will I have today? Every day is like Christmas!

I was listening to a 2004 workshop where Abraham said this:

You'll get so good at manifesting that ten years from now we'll be holding seminars on demanifestation. What to do with all this stuff that I thought I wanted that now I have to dust.

Abraham-Hicks, San Diego, CA, February 7, 2004

When I heard that I realized that decluttering is an experience of abundance. I wanted those things and they came to me! I think having more than enough, so that it seems like clutter, was just part of a lack consciousness I had at the time. But I allowed and received in abundance. It's really fun to feel free and let go realizing that I have different desires now and things will still come to me in an abundant steady stream.

Are you interested in decluttering and simplifying your life? I highly recommend Leo Babauta at Zen Habits, an optimistic man who has made life-changing transformations one step at a time. I am so attracted to his way of thinking, but it's so different from my old beliefs that I hadn't embraced it. I feel ready and eager now!

In his Simple Living Manifesto, Leo gives 72 easy to implement ideas to get us started. He begins by saying:

A simple life has a different meaning and a different value for every person. For me, it means eliminating all but the essential, eschewing chaos for peace, and spending your time doing what’s important to you.

It means getting rid of many of the things you do so you can spend time with people you love and do the things you love. It means getting rid of the clutter so you are left with only that which gives you value.

However, getting to simplicity isn’t always a simple process. It’s a journey, not a destination, and it can often be a journey of two steps forward, and one backward....

The Short List

For the cynics who say that the list below is too long, there are really only two steps to simplifying:

Identify what’s most important to you.
Eliminate everything else.

Above all, enjoy the memories, enjoy letting go or finding an old treasure that was forgotten. Keeping things because they are useful or beautiful, uplifting when you look at them. It doesn't matter if we keep it or let go, only that we find joy in the journey. @>----

Abraham-Hicks: You are doing extremely well.

2011-08-28T16:34:00.001-04:00

I just listened to a workshop from Billings, MT in 2003 and there was so much good information there. Newer workshops are more focused on the vortex because more people are aware of it and able to move into it easily. The earlier workshops were more often about people learning deliberate creating techniques like pivoting or asking basic questions about how it all works. I always learn so much each time I listen to any of them. There were many things I heard that I thought would make good posts, but Abraham's closing statement is especially important and a good reminder to me.

...you would all do just fine if you never heard a word of any of this from us. You are natural thrivers. And a little bit of appreciation is all that is needed to be added to the recipe of that which is you....

Nothing's broken here. We know this has been an environment of fine-tuning. And the most important thing that we are wanting to leave you with is: You are doing extremely well and it is only going to get better and better....

We know that over time you convince yourself that there are things that need to be brought back into alignment. But we are here to remind you that you are born aligned and that alignment is an easy thing for you. Your emotions will guide you incrementally into your alignment.

Just relax and be easier about it. Be more playful. Work less hard. Recognize things to appreciate and criticize less often.... Let relaxing and feeling good be more important to you than getting something done. Say to yourself on a very regular basis, "I'm going to savor more and fix less." And we really want that to be the mantra of these gatherings. These are workshops to enhance joy, not workshops to fix trouble.

There is great love here for you....

Abraham-Hicks, Billings, MT, June 21, 2003

A Note from the Universe

2011-08-10T16:39:00.002-04:00

I need your help with this one.

Please, just for a second, hold out the palm of your
hand and give it a quick glance. Now imagine a
miniaturized version of a loved one carefully and
comfortably resting in it. Feel waves of your love
blanketing this precious being. Imagine seeing the
life of this loved one playing out in your palm and
feeling their every joy and sadness. Imagine reading
his or her mind and wanting nothing for yourself
except to see their dreams come true.

Then you smile radiantly, filled with pride and joy,
knowing that they are always safe, always provided
for, never alone, and inescapably destined to learn of
these truths for themselves. You smile because you
know that the day of their awakening swiftly
approaches, as does their own sublime joy and the
manifestation of their boldest dreams.

Okay, that should do it.

Now, can you also imagine that "someone else"
right this very moment is smiling down at you as
you play out your life in the palm of their hand?

Yours truly,

The Universe

Feel what it's like to have that desire

2011-08-07T14:27:00.001-04:00

Hooboy, I have a shiny new deliberate creating tool. I've been writing about my journey to close the gap and feel good about long-term goals for several posts. In my last post, Abraham-Hicks on Winning the lottery pt 2, I was watching a video of an Abraham workshop where they asked how it would feel to win the lottery. I immediately felt it: Powerful! I could do anything!

Last night I was listening to an Abraham workshop tape and got in the Abe zone. I have a desire to walk easily and effortlessly and asked myself how it would feel.

FREE!!!!

I could go anywhere anytime I wanted to. I could walk for miles. I could walk in museums, walk along a beach, walk in a forest, climb hills, jump from stone to stone across a stream, dance, hop, skip, jump, run like the wind!!!

Free. Free. Free. Free. FREEEEEEEE!!!!!! Free. Free. Freeeeee. :)

Oh, boy. I like practicing THAT feeling! :)

When I had the realization last night that I would feel free I instantly flashed on how much I had practiced not feeling free in my life. Almost every day when I was working. Anytime I went somewhere or did something I didn't want to do. Anytime I told myself I should do something instead of what I felt like doing. I'm retired now and I still do it. My home is cluttered with things I am sorting to sell or give away -- things I "should" do something with. I haven't felt good at times and it's not clean. So what?!! It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what other people think. It doesn't matter if someone else thinks it should look a certain way. It just doesn't matter!!

Today, it just doesn't matter!! I do whatever I want whenever I want to. I'm free!

@>---- @>---- @>---- @>---- @>---- @>---- @>---- @>---- @>---- @>---- @>---- @>----

Want some more inspiration? Artist Annie Coe, the Blissful-Bohemian, was inspired by a dream to leap before she looks . She's been taking chances with her life and art and is inspired to new paintings and techniques she's shown us here and here. I told her this must have been what it was like for those who watched Paul Klee develop his work. She has set herself free and it's great fun for me to see what she comes up with next.

Abraham-Hicks on Winning the lottery pt 2

2011-08-05T16:44:00.002-04:00

I talked about Part I of the Abraham video on winning the lottery in my August 2nd post, Abraham-Hicks: an example of bridging the gap in a long-held belief.

I just watched Part II and the pieces fell in place. Abraham is asking the same man what it feels like to win the lottery and my immediate response was POWERFUL!! I felt powerful when I said it. Filled up with that feeling. I wrote it down and then went on a rampage of what I would do with this river of money and how much fun it would be.

What does it feel like to win the lottery?

I feel powerful!

I feel free.
It’s fun! It’s playful!
I don’t have to worry about anyone or anything. There is an endless river of prosperity that is mine alone. Everyone has theirs too so they can all play, but this is MY play time!!! I get to choose what to do with my river of prosperity and I do. I can spend endless amounts of money doing things that are fun to me....I pull in money to do all of this easily and effortlessly. I am guided to the exact right, loving people to help me manage this money and manage these programs. We all work together in integrity and cooperation. It’s fun all along the way. It’s exciting all the way. I am in the vortex regarding my body. I attract all the right people for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING I want to do, be or have. I have SO MUCH FUN!!! I take trips to exciting places. I am a powerful influence of Well-Being....I make dreams come true because my dreams come true through them as well as theirs. I am a force of Love in this physical experience of mine. I walk easily. My body is strong and healthy. I am safe, snuggled in my vortex on every level of my being. I have so much fun playing in this abundant stream of prosperity and new things open up for me all the time. I am guided and protected and safe and comforted by Well-Being every step of the way. This is me creating in my universe and all is well here. All is well everywhere.

I really got it. Abraham is saying we have to be in the vortex and be the vibration of our desire to allow what we want to manifest. I get it! I love the thought of being my expanded self in this experience. I love feeling good. I am so excited to create as I intended when I came into this physical experience.

Everything we want to be, do and have really is ours. It's who we are. We can't miss. All we have to do is keep turning to our desires. Sometimes I can turn from the contrast to my vortex easily and then other times I might turn or pivot my thoughts 50 times in succession and then use other methods until I find something that works. Even when there is extreme contrast, the more I practice pivoting the easier it gets.

These are some of the ways I turn to well-being:

I listen to one of the Abraham meditations every day
I choose better feeling thoughts
Set intentions
Listen to what I'm feeling and ask myself what I want
Distract myself with a book, movie, take a drive, appreciate nature, do something intellectually interesting or creative
Listen to an Abraham tape or CD or a YouTube video
List appreciations
Sometimes chocolate's the thing!

We were comfortable with the vibration of what we were looking at before and now it's all about becoming comfortable with the vibration of the expanded self that we really are. We are asking for our desires because of who we want to be if we have them. Not for the things themselves, but for those delicious feelings.

I feel so much love. I thank the man that asked that question. He was absolutely perfect. So honest about where he was and so willing to allow. I could see in the second video where he accepted his desire.

I appreciate the contrast in my body, my life and those around me for being the springboard for me to send off my desires and seek and find clarity.

I love and appreciate President Obama and I feel so much appreciation for him and for the mix of contrast in our country and our world. It has been very, very powerful for me to look at the contrast around him, send off my desires, and to do the work every day to turn to the love and solutions in my vortex.

I think of all the desires shooting off from everyone and that huge vortex of Well-Being that has grown because of it. Abraham says it is bigger now than it has ever been. As we each allow, we bring that golden light of creativity, love, understanding and solutions into manifestation. As we join together, we open this physical experience more to loving manifestations.

I embrace and focus on the love that moves in all things and all people, knowing all that while that I am responsible for myself and my own alignment and balance no matter what. How gloriously freeing to know that.

I have been listening to a YouTube playlist of Secret Garden while I wrote this and the video below was just playing. Their beautiful music seems part of this post and I include Prayer by Secret Garden:

Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true

Abraham-Hicks: an example of bridging the gap in a long-held belief

2011-08-02T21:37:00.000-04:00

In this Abraham workshop video, the questioner has a long-held desire: he had a dream years ago that he would win the lottery. Today it is $93 million dollars and he wants to win it today.

Like the questioner you may believe that your desire is there for you in your vortex, but just not know how to get there from here. What I really like about this workshop is how Abraham is showing how to pivot from observing "what is" to our vortex and our desires.

Abraham says “....we know that it’s yours and we know you can find access to it. You don’t know that yet because you haven’t practiced it enough to know it. Because you’re still, human being that you are, you’re letting the evidence that manifests be the criteria that lets you believe. We’re letting what’s in the vortex be the criteria that makes us believe, you see.”

The questioner says he believes it is there and that there is a gap. Then Abraham goes on a rampage of bridging statements.

Abraham: “I believe there is a gap in my expectation. I believe I can close the gap in my expectation. I believe my emotions are the key to closing the gap in my expectation. I believe that hopeful is in the vicinity of the vortex. I believe that believing is inside the vortex. I believe that “knowing” is in the vortex in a chronic consistent way. I believe that I have access to these dollars. I believe that these dollars are there for me. I believe that there is a path to them that will be an easy path for me. I believe that the path is through the vortex. I believe that the path is through my emotions. I believe the path is through the alignment with Source Energy that is really the larger part of me. I believe my emotions tell me truly. I believe that when I’m frustrated I’m not there. I believe that when I’m hopeful I’m closer. I believe that when I’m happy I’m there. I believe that when I appreciate I’m there. I believe that when I make peace with what is I’m there. I believe that when I appreciate the processes of my life that caused me to put that solution there that I’m there. I love every struggle that I’ve lived because that’s been the fodder that put this there. I believe that the well-being that I’ve lived and the well-being that hasn’t felt so much like well-being has put it there for me. I know that I’m the creator of my own reality. I know that these things are true. I know that I get to live the manifestational version of all of that. I believe that I can live the manifestational version of that. I think there’s evidence all over this planet of people who stood right where I am standing in terms of finances and had a vortex just like I do that was all queued up for them and they just found the way in. And I don’t have to find the identical way in. I don’t have to run around and look for people and say, “how did you get your money? How did you get your money? How did you get your money?” because it’s different for every one of us. But one thing that is a common denominator who has succeeded in anything they’ve been reaching for is that they found a way to be a vibrational match to what they were asking for. And that’s all I’ve gotta do. That’s the piece I’m looking for.

[When we come back from break] ....we will show you that the abundance you have put in your vortex. Talk about a jackpot. Talk about a jackpot. If you could see the veritable fortune that you have gathered that is vibrationally queued up for you. That you have immediate access to. But it’s not through action. It’s through the emotional journey. And once you train yourself into emotional alignment with the energy of your vortex until it feels more normal to expect good things than to expect bad things. Until it feels more normal to feel prosperous than to feel shortage. Until it feels normal. You’ve got to practice the feeling of normalcy. And the tricky thing is how can I feel something that I don’t have evidence to support? And that will really be the subject of this afternoon’s discussion. How can I train my vibration apart from the reality that I’m observing to comply with the reality that I’ve created? That is deliberate creating at it’s best. Good time for segment of lunch.

I haven't watched Part II yet, but I'm looking forward to viewing it. I can work on my thoughts and I'm getting better and better at pivoting and turning to Well-Being.

These are my intentions for the next step: I have such a clear understanding of how this all works that it is easy and fun to observe the contrast and even appreciate it as I turn to my vortex and enjoy the good things there. I am absolutely at home with my true self in my vortex. My life is a delightful dance between observing contrast and turning to my vortex to enjoy the instant solutions there.

As I said, I haven't watched part II yet, but here's the link:

Update on manifesting long-held desires

2011-07-31T17:58:00.003-04:00

Since I wrote the previous post about long-held desires I realized, in my thinking, there was a big gap between me and the desires. I knew they were possible to have. Other people had what I wanted. I believed that when I asked it was given and they are in my vortex, 99% created as Abraham has explained. But I could tell that I didn't think they were possible for me as I was then and that I thought I would have to be a different person to have them. I would have to be "more."

My previous post describes how I merge the physical and spiritual. When I described listening inside, I am listening to Source Energy in my vortex saying, "Come this way," as the next steps for my desires are given to me. By listening and taking action I become more confident. I open up to the "more" I thought I needed - more of who I truly am. I practice the vibration of who I am and it becomes familiar to me instead of looking around outside of me and becoming familiar with what is outside.

When you see something you want, and you give it your attention, and you say yes to it, you are including whatever its vibration is in your vibration. When you see something you do not want, and you shout no at it, you are including whatever its vibration is in your vibration.

Abraham-Hicks, Portland, OR, July 11, 1999

So, the trick is to look outside at the contrast to inspire our desires, and then turn to the solutions in our vortex.

I can see that this intentions, list-making technique works for me because it makes the next-step desires very short term -- just for that day or for a morning or an hour. I make the steps as small as I want them to be for me to be able to take action and feel good. If it doesn't feel good I don't do it. If it doesn't feel good to do the list anymore, I throw it away. If making a list doesn't feel like fun, then I don't make one, but I am aware that every day there is an interest inside me for action(s) of some type or another. When I take action on those feelings things get done easily and quickly and I feel good about it. Sometimes I step on my own toes in deciding what to do and when, but basically there is a dance between these impulses from within and new desires I have during the day.

I've been intrigued by my vortex and have spent time just listening inside and exploring. Abraham says my desires are answered instantly and I played with asking and then listening for the answer which did indeed come instantly.

If I ask for a feeling or clarity or a "thing" it is there in my vortex. Allowing becomes feeling that feeling I want or having the clarity or thoughts that I wanted. Those are manifestation just as much as things are.

My vortex contains the manifested desires, but most important to me is that this is my expanded self. It's the self that I want to be when I send out my desire.

I don't have to please anyone or fit into society or look a certain way to be who I am. Other people don't have to understand why I do what I do or believe as I do or understand me. I don't have to do the right thing or pay my dues to have what I want. The outer world is old manifestation and old energy. The action is the new, vibrant energy in my vortex and the only thing I have to do to live in that new exciting energy is relax and be myself.

Put all your attention on where you are going and all your angst about where you were or where you are just fades away.

Abraham-Hicks, West Los Angeles, CA, January 31, 2004A

I'm having exciting results with something physical in a few short days. But more importantly, I'm feeling more like myself. Whole. I am strong. I am healthy. My body is wonderful! I now know that what I want is possible and it's so exciting. I feel at peace about all of it and each day is an adventure. What new exciting impulses, thoughts, desires and manifestations will I have next?! I feel like anything I want is possible.

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

We love seeing you here in these physical bodies recognizing the guidance system that is within you. And we want to talk about that here today because we see so many of our friends who are physical humans, who are setting aside the guidance that comes forth from within and trying to replace it with someone else’s version of what they ought to be doing....

Nobody’s perspective matters more than yours because nobody can tend to your vibrational countenance. Nobody can adjust the vibration of you. Nobody else has their hand on the lever or on the valve that controls the degree to which you allow your alignment or not, and when you let someone else guide you, so that you’re not paying attention to your own alignment with Source, you can get mixed upside down and all around to the degree that you do not know what to think about anything, and then you’re just listening to the loudest voice....

And we’re wanting you to understand, it’s not the loudest voice, it’s the consistent voice. It’s the voice that does not waver. It’s the voice that never stops saying to you, “You are worthy, and you are love, and you are well-being, and you deserve to live well.” It’s the voice that never stops saying, “Well-being abounds, and Source Energy flows,” and if you will work to align with the vibration that feels like that, you must thrive. And no one can ever take your thriving away from you. No one can take your freedom away from you.

How to feel better about those long-held desires

2011-07-19T21:37:00.000-04:00

I was listening to Abraham's introductory comments on a workshop tape and had an insight about my long-held desires. Abraham is talking about the newly hatched desires feeling good to us. For me they definitely do. I love when the ideas just come into my mind like fireworks on the 4th of July, one after another. I'm caught up in them, enjoying them for their own sake. I realize that all my life I've enjoyed the creativity of new ideas and planning them more than maintaining them once they are manifested. As a matter of fact my jobs have often included setting up some new process for a company or learning new software.

You are enjoying the evolution of your desire? You are feeling the freshness of a newly hatched desire? You are enjoying the continuation of not so newly hatched desires that have not yet manifested? (audience laughs) It's easier to feel good about the newly hatched desires isn't it?

~~Abraham-Hicks, October 11, 2003A, Tarrytown, NY

I do have some long-held desires and I would love to feel better about them. Abraham goes on to say if they become unpleasant:

So, you have two options. You can either let it go altogether and have a truly emotional break. Or you can change the way you feel about it.

Being a deliberate reality creator means choosing thoughts that feel good and they will feel good because they are in alignment with our desires. We can also use action to feel better for conditions like pain that we can't avoid. We can distract ourselves with any pleasurable activity that feels good and helps us relax -- like a funny movie or book, a craft we enjoy, being in nature, getting a massage, a hug or talking with friends. It softens the resistance to the pain and fear. The action we choose can walk hand-in-hand with better feeling thoughts.

When I was listening to Abraham I realized I could try something new using the deliberate creating tools I enjoy the most. I can transform those long-term desires into new ones. I like the idea that I can come at the desire from directions that already feel good to me and that I have used successfully to manifest before. I know they work for me.

One technique is setting intentions and the other is making lists. Each morning I sit down, listen inside to my desires and write the intentions of being in alignment. It feels very good and I can really get on a roll. Any time during the day when I start feeling down I write some intentions or think them and I feel better.

When I feel overwhelmed with many things to do, I write lists. Intentions focus energy and I create a list in the same way. I listen inside to hear my desires and create lists for everything I want to get done in a room, or what I want to do on my computer, or what I want to create right then or anything that pleases me. I break out the tasks into steps and do the tasks that feel good in the moment. I have the pleasure of crossing out finished tasks and getting things done. It's a way for me to focus. If I start feeling driven by the lists or if they feel unpleasant in any way I toss them and listen inside again. The pilot of a plane is rarely on course, he or she is constantly correcting their course, but they are amazingly accurate in reaching their destination. I listen and correct my course to Well-Being during the day. It helps me be aware of negative thoughts and feelings before they build up.

So, getting back to the topic of long-held desires. It's only resistance that is holding back the manifestation. When I was listening to Abraham today I had the realization that I could use these techniques to soften resistance. I know all things are possible, but what I want may seem unattainable to me. Instead of pushing for the full-fledged manifestation I can start where I am and write intentions to transform limiting beliefs on the fringes. I can listen and write lists of actions, breaking them down into the smallest units that begin to feel good.

I set intentions, work to choose better feeling thoughts and make lists anyway, but this is more deliberate and more focused on those desires that seemed complicated and just out of my reach. One desire I have had since I was a child! It feels possible to me now. I can start where I am and I will get there. I know it.

We step in and out of the vortex easily every day

2011-07-07T12:09:00.001-04:00

Like all of you, I've had wondrous, loving peak experiences. I'm not talking about being in love with someone, although that may be when it happened. I'm talking about that magical feeling that nothing matters, everything is all right, no worries at all, comfort, peace, joy -- just the warmth of goodness and Well-Being inside and out. Insights, intuitions and ideas come easily. Things click into place. It's more than having a good day and something that you know when you experience it.

I thought peak experiences were the vortex and it was something I could and should be able to reach and sustain by my deliberate creating. Then I was watching a video of Abraham's recent Houston workshop and while the questioner was talking I could actually see when she was in the vortex and when she stepped out. Here's my transcript:

Q: My question is, my husband and I own a rental property on the beach that we share. Rent out. And we bought it under a mortgage that was not a good one with some friends and that did not go well for us. So we’re in the process of doing a loan modification. I really love this property and this space and the sun comes through the windows and how we love it and share it.

Abraham: That’s interesting because what you said just now put you in the vortex. Your other comments weren’t there, but when you focused on it you went right in. [to the audience] Did you see it? Did you see it on her face?

Q: My husband on the other hand…

Abraham: Now you just left. It’s so interesting because when you focus on what his – what you perceive his approach to be which you don’t agree with, you lose your connection with what you want. Isn’t it interesting? And wasn’t that vivid?

Abraham-Hicks, Houston, TX, April 30, 2011.

She was a lovely, happy looking woman, but when she spoke about her husband we could see some of her worry and when she talked about the house she just glowed with love. Everyone watching could see it happen.

My big realization from that was that I'm in the vortex much, MUCH more often than I realized. When I look out the window and lose myself in the sunset for a minute or anytime I lose myself in happiness or joy for even a moment, I am in the vortex. It's not some lofty place. It's very, very reachable. And she showed all of us how easy it is because she was out, went in and was out again in a few sentences!

Let’s talk about what it feels like to be in the vortex. Sometimes it feels like interest. Like, “ooh, I want to think more about that and talk more about that. Sometimes it feels like love. [Sighs] Just kind of turns you inside out [sighs] that feeling. Love. Sometimes it feels like passion.... So, the feeling of the vortex is, it’s a variance of feelings, but it’s always empowering. It’s always confident. It’s always well-being. It’s always a feeling of exhilaration – somewhere between exhilaration and comfort. It always feels good....

Abraham-Hicks, Houston, TX, April 30, 2011.

And how do we get there? Whatever feels good. I mentioned in the previous post that I like to write intentions. Appreciation is a great way to do it.

I'll tell a funny story about myself. I discovered Abraham about seven years ago and just a couple of weeks later I was having one of those days when one thing after another went wrong. Then the toilet jammed and started running over. It was the last straw!! I knew enough about this information to know that appreciation was a way to feel better so as I plunged the toilet I was angry and crying and saying my appreciations. I love nature and this apartment complex had a duck pond so I talked about how much I appreciated the ducks and plunged. I really do love them and can still remember that blossom of love in my heart as I talked about them. The toilet quickly unplugged and I soon realized I felt so much better. Abraham talks about working up the emotional ladder and that it's easier to do appreciations when you're emotions are closer to good feelings, but it worked for me then because I felt so much love for them. Even small experiences can be such powerful lessons.

The "should" I mentioned about peak experiences and how I should be able to sustain them and be in the vortex was resistance -- a little left over perfectionism that rolled off into the sunset. Bye bye!! I do believe that we can reach a place where we can easily be in the vortex or step out to gather data to shoot off our rockets of desire and then work our way in again easily and that's my path.

I'm fascinated by the vortex. So excited to be in it more and more. So interested in being in the vortex and deliberately creating there. You'll be hearing lots more about it here.

The journey continues....

2011-07-03T17:25:00.042-04:00

And so my journey continues.... by enggul

Hello! I'm back after an extended break from blogging. And what have I been doing? Well, I have always been intrigued by this Abraham quote:

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

I wanted to sort out what it meant to create my personal reality and what it meant to create in the world that appeared to be outside of me. I examined it from all angles and worked with it during the last year and have a comfortable perspective. Now I'm learning more about my vortex and the value of contrast. I have to smile because I'm telling you that it's getting more fun all the time and yet I'm sure I've said that many times before.

For those of you visiting for the first time, I want to give you a little background. Like you, I had manifestations of my desires all my life. From the beginning of working with Abraham's information about creating deliberately, I had manifestations and the way they appeared was obviously because I sent off that rocket of desire Abraham talks about. But I didn't really connect the dots and really get the feeling of connection between the work I was doing and manifestation until I began working with intentions. I would write intentions in the morning and then notice that I seemed to walk into the manifestations during the day. I still write intentions and just love them. The posts below will give you an idea of what worked for me.

Good feelings call to me

2010-03-11T11:16:00.004-05:00

make a wish... by alicepopkorn
As I send out my desires to this loving Universe, they are fully created. They call to me in the good feelings of joy and love in all of it's magical forms. Today I listen. I walk the path that feels the best to me right here and now, trusting that as I do, I enter the realm of the living Spirit that creates all that is. The things to do, be and have are only a means for me to experience who I truly am, a spiritual being having this physical experience. By choosing this path, I choose who I truly am.

All is well.

And so it is.

The most fundamental level is this: When we talk about the idea of acting on your joy to the best of your ability we mean in every given moment on anything. It doesn't have to be a career thing, but they're connected. So, in other words, if right now out of all the options you have when you leave this discussion with us. Out of all of the options you have available to you that you could choose to do. If you look at all the options and you realize that simply taking a walk or driving your car or calling a friend is the most exciting thing out of all the options -- that's the thing to do. Just because it's the most exciting. You don't need a reason why. It's the excitement that tells you that's the next thing you need to do.

And, here's the other level: It's the excitement in the simple things that tells you what simple things are actually connected to the bigger things that excite you. And will actually get you there in what may seem to be a round about manner, but by following the excitement is actually the shortest, fastest, straightest path.

So, every moment, if you simply choose the thing that excites you the most at that moment -- out of all the things that you have available to you that you have the best ability to actually take action on -- do it. Take action on that thing. When you can take action on that thing no further, look around for the next most exciting thing you have the greatest ability to take action on and do that. Whatever it is. Even if it doesn't seem connected to anything else, do it. Because the excitement tells you it is connected.

Now. Once you start doing that, once you get into that pattern, you will sensitize yourself to the idea of excitement. You'll become a better sensor for the concept of what does excite you and what doesn't. And you won't create so many things to consider before you will simply be willing to take action on your excitement.

Not only because of that, not only because you become a better sensor of it, but also because you begin to understand the principle that excitement is it's own self-contained kit and it's own driving engine. When you act on your excitement to the best of your ability every moment, you begin to experience synchronistically that the exciting thing you're doing actually contains all of the things you actually need to consider. And what it doesn't contain, you don't need to consider.

It's a self-contained kit that always perpetuates more of the same -- more excitement -- and brings with it the things that actually are important for you to look at in that process of continuing and expanding your excitement.

So, what doesn't come with it isn't part of that kit and has no business taking time in your life.

Lists: a quick and easy way to change thoughts and feelings in intense situations

2010-03-03T17:36:00.004-05:00

I am a joyful thought by alicepopkorn
The most valuable skill or talent that you could ever develop is that of directing your thoughts toward what you want -- to be adept at quickly evaluating all situations and then quickly coming to the conclusion of what you most want -- and then giving your undivided attention to that. There is a tremendous skill in deliberately directing your own thoughts that will yield results that cannot be compared with results that mere action can provide.

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

I love that with Abraham's information there is no need for introspection. No need to spend any time remembering or understanding where a disturbing, unpleasant thought came from. All I need to know is what I want.

Deliberate creating is meant to be easy and I appreciate short cuts. I've posted many that I've found and now have a new one.

About a week ago I had several experiences happen within two or three days that stirred up an old, stuck cluster of beliefs and feelings from very early childhood when I was one or two.

As I worked with my thoughts I was riding an emotional roller coaster through fear, worry, anger and stress -- all the time using the deliberate creating tools I like and moving the feelings around -- just not getting to a stable place. Probably in answer to something I had been asking Abe for -- I discovered something new for myself.

I carried a black and white school composition book around with me for two or three days. Whenever I had a distressing thought or feeling I noted the time, then wrote down a few words that described it, then a few words of what I wanted.

It could be like this:

angry
trapped
afraid
furious
I want to feel and be free
I want the problem to be worked through with good will and cooperation

or like this:

fear
worry
stressed
sick to my stomach
I want to feel and be safe
I want relief from pressure

I listened inside and wrote whatever I felt as often as I felt it. At the beginning I would put the composition book down and then pick it up quickly to write more. This process helped me focus on what I was feeling exactly and to clarify what I wanted. It didn't have to be elegant, just honest.

Each time I wrote I moved my thinking along a bit more and I could feel the relief of having some distance from the unpleasantness. I know these techniques work so I wasn't stuck anymore, just moving along. I also knew that when I said what I wanted the Universe answered, "YES!"

I still used my other techniques when I felt the urge, but really appreciate the ease and speed of changing thoughts and energy using this technique -- after about two or three days I got into a stable positive frame of mind and didn't need to use it all the time. It's in my toolbox though and I'm in a new place that's a lot more fun.

As for me, I've put the trigger situations in the loving hands of the Universe. As I have to write letters or make calls or talk to someone in person, I list any concerns and what I want to happen beforehand and am having very positive experiences.

Above all, instead of feeling off balance by outside conditions as I go toward resolutions, I feel calm and am standing on the solid ground of the Well-Being that flows in me and through me.

We want you to relax into the rhythm of your life. And we want to work on feeling the perfection of where you stand. And we want you to make peace with where you are, this glorious vantage point that has been honed from what you've lived that helps you understand clearly where you are going. But we want you to make peace with the journey between where you are and where you are going because the satisfaction of life is on that path.

Abraham-Hicks: How to enjoy the journey

2010-02-27T13:35:00.011-05:00

Via al Mediterraneo… by antonychammond
This blog is a place where I can express the purest positive energy I can access at the time. I like the process of creating, and yet, I haven't been writing about what I'm doing. I'd like to continue creating here and whether I write about anything personal or not, I always appreciate adding Abraham's beautiful energy anytime I can. So, I think I'll give it a try to post Abe quotes for awhile and see how that works out.

I do have a desire to enjoy the journey all along the way and, of course, the first Abe quote I opened talked about our journey. Thank you, Darling Abraham! @>----

If we were to say to those of you who have your hands in the air, "you have the power within you to bring yourself into alignment with your own desire," what would you say to that? So, if we were to say to you, "we are deliberately not calling you to the chair because we know that you know," what would you say to that? Do you believe that you know? Do you believe that you have access to all that you need? Do you believe that you need to know it all now? Do you believe that on your journey to where you are going that you need to know every place that you will ever be or is it enough to know the next place you are going? Do you believe that you have to get to the ultimate end of all things in order to be satisfied or is there satisfaction along the way?

These are important questions because you have come forth to enjoy the journey. Friends, you're eternal! Do you get what that means!!?! We so much want you to hear that. You act like you don't know that. You act like you think this is the only moment and this is the only desire I will ever have and so you've got to help me find a way to fulfill it.

We want to say to you that you are eternal beings. You have to get used to the idea of being incomplete. Incompletion has to be alright.

We don't want you to take your end-all vacation tomorrow. We want it to be out there for you to savor and look forward to. We don't want you to find all of the money that you are ever looking for immediately. We want it to flow to you incrementally in response to the desires that you have offered. In the same way that we do not want you to breath all of the air that you will want for the rest of your life, now, or eat all of the meals that you will enjoy, today, we don't want to have all of your desires fulfilled simultaneously. Then we would hold seminars on demanifestation.

We want you to relax into the rhythm of your life. And we want to work on feeling the perfection of where you stand. And we want you to make peace with where you are, this glorious vantage point that has been honed from what you've lived that helps you understand clearly where you are going. But we want you to make peace with the journey between where you are and where you are going because the satisfaction of life is on that path.

We would not transport you to the manifestation of what you are reaching for if we had the power to do it. We would not for a moment deprive you of this journey.

It is only when you have been beating the drum of lack that you feel that you cannot stand where you stay. In other words, if where you are standing feels unbearable it is only because you've too long been looking at where you are and you've not been looking enough into where you want to be.

Spend more time talking about what's coming and less time talking about what is except for the parts of what is that just give you thrill bumps when you mention them.

Spend more time thinking about what is becoming and less time about what is unless what is makes those who hear you speak about it smile and hug you in response.

Spend more time thinking what is coming and less time talking about what was unless what was is something you want to be contained in what is coming.

Do you your best to speak about the best feeling things that you can find. And even if they are not as good feeling as things you've felt before, still speak about them. Even if they are not as good as what you think others are speaking, still speak about them. Because as you keep reaching for the best feeling thought that you can find you're point of attraction shifts and the thoughts that are then accessible by you appear before you. It's like running down the stream determined to keep your feet dry, seeing only water before you, but with each leap into the air a stone surfaces for your next step forward.

The Universe is not magical, it is realistic and based on law. It is not whimsical. It will not trick you. It is not indefinable. It is understandable.

You have guidance within you to help you know where you are in relationship with all things. Let the way you feel matter more to you than life itself and reach for the relief of the best thought that you can find and watch how quickly manifestations of all manner take shape appearing before you like the rocks in the stream to surprise and delight you, but more importantly, to confirm the worthy, deserving nature of your Being.

The love we feel for you cannot be defined in words. We flow it to you intensely and steadily, but sometimes you cannot feel it because you are vibrationally too far apart from it. But it is always there and it will be ready for you when you are ready for it. And if the closest thing you can get to the feeling of love is anger, then go for it. If the closest thing you can find is pessimism, then beat the drum of it if it feels better than where you were.

But make a decision today that you are going to make steady improvement on the way you feel. And check in with us every year or so to announce to us the steady progress and the amazing things that are unfolding in your your glorious experience. We never take our eyes from you. We are aware of every desire you hold and it is thrilling to see what lays before you who are in this room. Universal forces are yahooing down the canyon even as we speak.

There is great love here for you. We are complete.

Abraham-Hicks: How to get from where you are to where you want to be

2010-01-28T10:05:00.014-05:00

Endeavour STS-118 on Pad39A by jurvetson
Where you are

We really want you to not ever again beat up on yourself about where you are. It does not matter where you are. Everybody is in a different place and where you are is where you are. And the Universe knows where you are and knows where you want to be. There is no judgement about where you are. There's no reason for embarrassment about where you are.

Abraham-Hicks, San Antonio, TX, November 22, 2003

You don't have to go where you don't want to be to get where you want to be. You can go from where you are to where you want to be.

Abraham-Hicks, Napa, CA, February 28, 1997

How you get to where you want to be

You don't have to go the hard way to things, but you do have to go from wherever you are. If one good thing happens today and a hundred bad things, talk about that good thing a thousand times -- and talk not about any of the bad things. Play the good-feeling things over and over in your mind -- emphasize everything that feels good . . .

. . .You've just got to get happy -- that's all it takes.

Abraham-Hicks, San Diego, CA, February 15, 2003

So how do I get happy about where I am?

Look for things about where I am that make me happy and make up the rest.

Abraham-Hicks, Boston, MA. October 5, 2002 tape 3

It is our promise to you that if you will decide today to think more about what is coming and less about what is, do more virtual realities that please you and less awareness of realities that don't please you, what happens is incrementally your vibration shifts and without you even aware of how it comes about, your life takes on a shift.

Abraham-Hicks, Boston, MA, October 5, 2002 tape 4

How it works

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"

When you reach for the thought that feels better, the Universe is now responding differently to you because of that effort. And so, the things that follow you get better and better, too. So it gets easier to reach for the thought that feels better, because you are on ever-increasing, improving platforms that feel better.

Abraham-Hicks, San Francisco, CA, March 11, 2000

Accept it and it is yours

The contrast no matter how it looks in any moment is contributing mightily to your expansion. And the thing that you call, things going wrong in your life experience, are actually only the distance between the things that are so right and your current perspective about it.

In other words, if you could just accept that you have amassed a huge vibrational fortune that is ready for you to begin tapping into immediately and all that is required in order to tap into is a willingness to look in the direction of what you want which will cause you to no longer look in the direction of what you don't want. Life will begin to get better for you right now.

Abraham-Hicks, Vortex Book CD Set, CD No. 8, Track 7

What you want is already done! It's not missing. You are not in the process of creating it now, it's already been created. .

The marketing campaign that you are launching is not to attract the millions to your product, they've already been attracted. The marketing campaign you are launching is to attract YOU there. And the way you do that is by talking about the beauty of it, talking about how wondrous it is, talking about how good it feels, lining up with it, pretending it's already done.

The universe doesn't know if the vibration you offer is because you are imagining it or you're living it. It just responds to the vibration of it.

Abraham-Hicks, San Francisco, CA, March 22, 2009

Feel your way

Many think success means, getting everything I want. And we say, that's what dead is, and there is no such thing as that kind of dead. Success is not being done; not being complete. Success is still dreaming and feeling positive in the unfolding.

Abraham-Hicks

Be easy about this. Be playful about it. Don't work so hard at it. Let your dominant intent to be to feel good, and if you don't feel good, then let your dominant intent be to feel relief. Feel your way through it. If you think your way through it, you can get off on all kinds of tangents. If you feel your way through it, you can come quickly to your Core Energy, and when you do that only good can then flow to you.

Abraham-Hicks

All is well.

January 6th, The Epiphany and The Return of the Light

2010-01-06T17:44:00.071-05:00

Ray of Hope by Temari_09
I'm back from taking a break while I aligned to an experience of the Now that I wrote about on November 8th.

I've been exploring spiritual ideas since the mid-1960's and one thing I've noticed is that when I make an energetic shift, things in the material world let go. As a matter of fact, that's how I used to be able to tell how big the shift was: mechanical things breaking, physical illness, car accidents missed in dramatic ways. It gets my attention and there's no way for me to go back to a routine. It's either go forward or keep experiencing it.

To me the way this works is: as I come into alignment with the new, the old beliefs unwind from their attachments in the physical world. I had a lot of unwinding going on during this break -- sometimes two or things happening in the same day. Sometimes one right after another. I think almost every mechanical/electrical thing I owned had at least one turn at coming to a halt along with different manifestations in my body, too. The repairs and healing came, but at times I felt exhausted with all of it and it took a lot of work for me to keep turning my face to Well-Being. It's the only place to go so I would eventually do the work and quickly experience the benefits. I also want to say that I don't think anyone has to have things fall apart in order to come to a new perspective. I love Abraham's information that it gets easier and easier and I'm up for that.

But this time I did indeed have a two-month intensive in deliberate creating techniques and the importance of deciding how I want to feel and choosing the thoughts that support me.

That's done.

I'm ready to turn my face to new things and ready to blog. As I signed onto Blogger I realized this is January 6th, the Epiphany. I've never attended a church that celebrated this time, but it's always felt very special to me -- more spiritual than Christmas. I've always been drawn to the Magi and some churches celebrate January 6th as the date the Magi brought gifts to the Christ child.

For me it is a time when that lovely new born Light was first honored and acknowledged here in this earth experience. As I write I feel that golden Light shining through the timeless ages of our experience. We can renew this awakening in every moment of the eternal Now, but sometimes rituals, like a date and celebration, provide a reminder.

Today the Epiphany reflects my desire to honor the Light within by expressing the gifts I can give in this physical experience. And one of those gifts is my self. My very human self with the Light shining through.

So, here I am!

The grand adventure continues. :)

Often you are looking for love in all the wrong places!

In other words, you are looking for the purchase to make you feel better. You are looking for the love of another to make you feel better, or the accolades from the public.

When all along, what you want and need in order to feel better is to find vibrational alignment with the point of view that Source has about the same subject that you are focused upon.

That's what you are looking for. You want to see the world through the eyes of expanded Source.

Now, hear this: the expanded Source who has just newly expanded, because of YOU! That's why you are so hooked into it, that's why it feels so personal. It IS personal, you caused Source to expand and when you don't take the expansion, you take it personally.

You feel empty, too strong at word.
You feel disconnected, still too strong.
You feel resistant, ahhhhhhh, better word.
You feel resistant to the becoming that life has caused you, and us, to become.

Abraham-Hicks, Los Angeles, CA, March 29, 2009

When you launch a rocket of desire you send it our way. And we see it and embrace it and know it and become a vibrational match to it.

We focus upon it and law of attraction responds to it which means what you want is in the process of becoming but it means something ever so much more important.

It means YOU expanded to be more.

And that's the thing that so many of you are missing in this business of creation. You think you're creating a car; you're not creating only a car. You're creating YOURSELF as the holder of that better vehicle.

IT IS YOU WHO IS EXPANDING.

Life gave you the idea of expanse and even though your ideas are about things you want or relationships you want YOU ARE THE EXPANDED PART OF THIS. Can you hear this?

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

All is well.

Awakening Part IV: There is only Now

2009-11-08T14:45:00.055-05:00

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

Thank you, Darling Abraham, this loving Universe, and my vibrational Family and Friends in Spirit. @>----

Abraham-Hicks: Some thoughts for this time of transformation

2009-11-08T14:24:00.001-05:00

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

2009-10-24T09:08:00.058-04:00

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.

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

2009-10-21T15:50:00.025-04:00

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

2009-10-15T16:32:00.045-04:00

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.

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

2009-10-14T22:52:00.026-04:00

~ 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

2009-10-07T20:08:00.020-04:00

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

2009-10-07T18:45:00.043-04:00

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

2009-10-03T22:22:00.056-04:00

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

2009-09-30T22:27:00.033-04:00

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.

2009-09-23T17:53:00.033-04:00

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

2009-09-16T14:27:00.012-04:00

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.

Awakening Part II: Blending with my Inner Being

2009-09-14T17:34:00.031-04:00

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

2009-09-09T13:14:00.019-04:00

~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

2009-09-07T11:15:00.026-04:00

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

John Denver and Placido Domingo: Perhaps Love

2009-09-04T07:22:00.001-04:00

Something lovely for you: John Denver and Placido Domingo sing "Perhaps Love." They make my heart soar!

May your heart be filled with joy. @>----

Perhaps Love
Lyrics by John Denver

(Placido Domingo)
Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

(John Denver)
Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

(Placido Domingo)
Oh, Love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel

(John Denver)
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel

(Placido Domingo)
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know

(John starts joined by Placido)
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

(Placido Domingo)
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go

(John Denver)
And some say love is everything
Some say they don't know

(John starts joined by Placido)
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

Wednesdays with Abraham: You're creating YOURSELF

2009-09-02T08:00:00.011-04:00

Apophysis-Lotus by HocusFocusClick
When you launch a rocket of desire you send it our way. And we see it and embrace it and know it and become a vibrational match to it. We focus upon it and Law of Attraction responds to it which means what you want is in the process of becoming but it means something ever so much more important.

It means YOU expanded to be more.

And that's the thing that so many of you are missing in this business of creation. You think you're creating a car; you're not creating only a car. You're creating YOURSELF as the holder of that better vehicle.

IT IS YOU WHO IS EXPANDING.

Life gave you the idea of expanse and even though your ideas are about things you want or relationships you want YOU ARE THE EXPANDED PART OF THIS. Can you hear this?

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

You are the subject of your creation. Your state of being, or the way you feel, is the subject of your creation. If you will seek ways to observe your state of being, you will have a clearer understanding of how you are doing in the creation of you. If you will deliberately identify the way you want to feel or be, you will be more effective in achieving that which you came into this body to achieve....

Indeed, you exist to find your joy through a multitude of experiences, but you must SEEK that which is to be found. If you are not willing to, first, seek your own joy, you can not possibly find it, and if you do not find it, you have it not to give to another. … You are, right now, in this very moment, in the process of creating.

Abraham-Hicks, From A New Beginning II, 2001 printing, p. 112 and 113

You are the most specific, most active summoner and utilizer of the energy that creates worlds, that exists anywhere in this always evolving, eternally becoming Universe. You are creative genius expressing here in this Leading-Edge time-space-reality for the purpose of taking thought beyond that which it has ever been before. Even though it may seem odd to you at first, it will be helpful for you to begin to accept yourself as a Vibrational Being, for this is a Vibrational Universe in which you are living, and the Laws that govern this Universe are Vibrationally based. Once you become consciously at one with the Universal Laws, and gain an understanding of why things respond in the way they do, all mystery and confusion will be replaced by clarity and understanding. Doubt and fear will be replaced with knowledge and confidence, uncertainty will be replaced with certainty and joy will return as the basic premise of your experience.

Abraham-Hicks, “Ask And It Is Given,” p. 29

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

Have some fun with a video about office camouflage techniques

2009-08-27T20:16:00.010-04:00

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

Wednesdays with Abraham and Suzanne: Lining up with the Awakening

2009-08-19T17:20:00.027-04:00

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!

2009-08-12T18:06:00.029-04:00

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

2009-08-10T16:02:00.023-04:00

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

2009-08-08T01:11:00.003-04:00

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

2009-08-05T07:17:00.002-04:00

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.

Wednesdays with Abraham: Creating with your imagination

2009-07-29T11:39:00.014-04:00

land of fairiesWhat makes your heart sing with joy? ...may your wishes come true... by alicepopkorn-busy
Abraham:

How do you use your imagination?

Well, first of all, you put you in the picture and then you live as you would like to live from an inside feeling place. You feel how your body feels; that's a good place to start. Now this is your call, you are the architect, you are the creator, so you can be as vital and alive and youthful and flexible and good feeling and slender and eager and happy as you want to be. And so, stand in your body, and put yourself anywhere that pleases you, on the golf course, in a swimming pool, on an airplane, in your motor coach. Put yourself in any environment and feel how good your body feels.

Since it is a virtual reality, make the temperature exactly as you want it to be; make your clothing exactly appropriate to that and breath in the deliciousness of the air that it there. Make the sky blue, put clouds in it if you want, make it sunrise, make it sunset, make it the middle of the day. You get to do whatever you're wanting to do.

Be there by yourself, or bring your favorite person in. Take a look at your favorite person. Give that person the mood you would like that person to have. Make that person playful, make that person beautiful, make that person happy. Make that person in perfect vibrational harmony with you and together go someplace you know the two of you would adore being. Have a conversation with that person; say what you would say under those conditions: bask, applaud, praise, appreciate, approve, listen, receive compliments, blush with them, return them, adore, be adored, move your body, see delightful things, have stimulation relative to the conversation, relative to anything that you care about.

Get on a subject that is really important to you. Solve problems. Find solutions. Sit with your president. Talk to anyone on the planet that you would like to talk to. Bring them in, give them the mood, give them the attitude, give them ability to hear you, you get the sense of this.

Some say, "Too much work."

We say, "Its your life."

You are walking into the future of whatever you do with your mind. So where is your mind? Is it perusing the puzzles and problems of the past? Is it perusing the problems of the world? Is it looking for reasons to feel good? Is it looking for reasons to feel bad? In other words, you get to focus wherever you want to focus.

Abraham-Hicks, Orlando, FL, December 15, 2001

In other words, suppose you're standing in a place that's less than what you want. No problem, it's not done.

And better still, as you're standing in this place that you do not want to be, rockets of desire are being born -- which is the promise of the Universe.

And now that desire, has been offered by you. And Source Energy is answering it.

And the fairies of the Universe, all of the Inner Beings, your family of consciousness, all that is non-physical and AWARE OF YOU goes to work on visualizing your happy outcome.

And all you've got to do, is ride that Stream by aligning with that energy.

Abraham-Hicks, Atlanta, GA, May 4, 2002

Let the rockets soar! And let it not matter that there is a rocket born that I have not yet achieved because I cannot help but achieve it. If I can contemplate it, if I can imagine it, then the Universe surely can deliver it to me. I could not imagine something that could not be.

Let it be. Let me relax and let …it …be.

You summon with the clarity of desire. And, we say to you, just relax and trust. That if you can want it, the Universe has yielded it and now its time for you to just relax. Not watching for evidence but trusting that the evidence will show up everywhere you turn ... and it is our promise to you, that it will.

Abraham-Hicks, Boston, MA, October 5, 2002

Carol Look: Attracting Abundance --I'm a subscriber of her free newsletter which includes coaching for using deliberate creating and EFT for abundance.

We're rich!!!!

2009-07-26T11:01:00.027-04:00

Melba McMullin, a friend who explores Abraham and creating, asked a great Abraham kind of question in her new blog, an eager soul's journal: Conscious Living:

How does money make you feel?

This was my answer this morning:

Hi Melba,

I really appreciate your thoughts and your question. I read this several days ago and have been letting it roam around in my thoughts.

You are asking how money makes me feel -- not how I think about it. So, for me, money is very playful and fun. A few days after I discovered Abraham I found a $100 bill on the sidewalk and had $100 bills come to me in other playful, unexpected ways. I've changed my thinking about how much money I need. I've realized that I spent money on things I didn't really need because I thought I would feel better having it or I might need it "some day."

I've changed the way I think of having "enough" money. I love to pay my bills and spend money on things I want to have or that are fun. It is fun for me and I feel rich if I have enough, even if I have one penny left or have just enough. I'm rich!!!

If there isn't the money there I give it to the Universe and usually think of another way to do it or discover I really don't want it after all, there was some other reason I wanted it -- like to feel free or feel relief. I've found some homesteading blogs that have good recipes and frugal living tips and am changing my habits.

I don't feel deprived, I feel like I'm just in a process of changing my relationship to stuff. Or more importantly changing my relationship to myself. It's all about trust for me, gaining an understanding that I am enough as I am. Letting go of family beliefs that worth was in dollars and prestige, letting go of guilt that I didn't want the high pressure job and brand name stuff that looks a certain way -- and understanding that my desires for freedom and time and health are good.

Abraham says that we are standing on the banks of a Niagara Falls of abundance for each of us and there is plenty for everyone. So, it's great if someone wants to spend millions on anything that they want. It's just for me, my process now is more about finding what is really important for me.

And I trust that the money flows as I come into alignment whether it's from finding some frugal way to do something or realizing I don't need it or winning gazillions in the lottery. But the most important thing is learning to love myself just as I am. Right now that wouldn't look prosperous to someone looking in from the outside, but I know people who have many, many more times money than I have who aren't as rich in their thinking.

I love moolah, cash, Benjamins, the green stuff, like having it, like spending it, like buying gifts and I enjoy the heck out of it!

Thank you for this wonderful post, Melba! May money dance up to you and throw itself in your arms, sneak into your purse and yell boo when you open it, and may you feel joy in every dazzling day.

Love you,

Suzanne

Money is a laugh riot. Money is fun! My experience is that the Universe loves to have fun. Look at this face. This is the Universe looking back at us.

so happy by katrinket
That is you and me. We looked like that. We felt like that. We still do. That's what we are all reaching for -- what we knew when we came here.

It is the nature of the Great Love to give and It knows there is more than enough -- knows that resources are infinite. Source Energy is Love and gives of Itself. Love is the creative force. Love wants you to have every good thing. Not only abundance, but fun and play and happiness and delicious experiences that send your soul soaring with joy.

About being in this human experience:

I am more than enough. You are more than enough. We are more than enough.

About money, moolah, cash, dosh, dough, greenbacks, Benjamins:

I'm rich!! You're rich!!! We're rich!!!!!

Yahoo!!!

Affirmation: I am everything I need to be

2009-07-23T11:35:00.000-04:00

so happy by katrinket
I am everything I need to be. Everything. I send off my desires into the wild blue yonder with trust and joy. I am enthusiastic and excited as I follow the vibration of Love calling me to fulfillment of this good thing..and another...and another...and another!! I play and learn and am creative. I have so much fun! I am healthy, fit and strong. My mind is filled with thoughts of Well-Being. Love shines through me and into the world in everything I do. My day flows beautifully from one moment to the next. Thank you, Beloved Presence, for this delicious day.

Wednesdays with Abraham: The Universe has infinite resources

2009-07-22T18:05:00.018-04:00

Earth Day Embrace by jurvetson
Guest: So, there is really no such thing as greed?

Abraham: Most people would define greed as taking more than I need, or getting more than my fair share. And we would say to you, this is a Universe that has infinite resources. People quarrel with that, but it is our promise to you that if you have the ability to define it as a desire, this time/space reality, in which you are focused, has the ability to yield it to you, no exceptions.

Now, whether you’re talking about money or something else, here’s what’s at the basis of the shortage thinking: most people have this distorted view that there’s just one pile that’s being divvied out. And if I, this rich old bugger, go with my big dump trucks and I carry away a great big piece of the pile, then others who show up with their wheelbarrows or tea cups will be deprived of what they would have gotten, because the pile would, after all, be drastically diminished by the hoarding that I have done from my greedy perspective.

And the reason that we wanted to put it in that dramatic way is because all of that is such hogwash. When you ask it is always given! But, as you do not allow yourself to receive, nobody else gets it.

When you think about physical well-being do you ever say, “I've been healthy for so long, I think I'll be sick for a few years to let other people be well"? You understand the resources that you would call clarity are yours, or not, but you don't say, “Oh, I've been so confused today, there must be a really smart person running around here somewhere.”

The only thing that ever holds anyone apart from something that they want, is that they are choosing to focus upon the lack of what they want, and therefore they are a vibrational match to the lack of what they want and therefore that is their reality, or that is their creation.

Here you are, on the same planet that you've been on for more years than you have the ability to count. And just in the last 400 years, look at the difference in your economy. And it’s the same exact planet. Nobody has been trucking in or piping in any resources. There are not more resources present today. You are just vibrationally lining up with the utilization of them.

And, oh, this planet’s ability to yield to you: you have not even scratched the surface of it. It is a continually replenishing environment. And you would never be able to get your planet imbalanced by utilizing more of its resources than it could produce. It just cannot happen.

So we would go back to your earlier question and say to you, greed is a non-issue because it is an impossibility. It is not possible for someone to get more than their fair share.

Abraham-Hicks, Houston, TX, January 5, 2002

So now, is it starting to make sense when we say to you, "Seek joy"? Joy is the purpose, because in your joy, you connect to the Energy that makes things happen. Aren't you knocked over by this Earth? Isn't it awesome -- this massive space? This big chunk of matter? Don't you find it remarkable? Now try to find action in any of that. Who built it? Who scooped up that much dirt? Who used physical action to scoop it up and make it be? This is not the nature of Creation. Creation is not and has never been about action. It has always been about alignment of Energy. So when you focus upon alignment of Energy time becomes irrelevant. And when time is irrelevant, it will be so expansive that you will wonder where it always was.

Abraham-Hicks, Tarrytown, NY, October 18, 1998

This physical experience is the leading edge of creativity. This physicalness is the application of thought to matter -- it is the fine-tuning of creation and it is essential to growth -- even from Non-physical perspective....

Wednesdays with Abraham: Deliberately creating with emotions

2009-07-15T10:25:00.008-04:00

There are as many paths of deliberate creating as there are creators. I love feeling good. I like to pay attention to my feelings and then adjust my thoughts to feel better. When I choose to feel better, it seems like manifestations happen like magic.

Here's a bit of Abe with a focus on our emotions, vibration, and how we pull our desires to us.

The vibration that you interpret as vision, the vibration that you interpret as sound, or the vibrations that you interpret as smell or taste or touch, these are all vibrations that you have learned to translate through your five physical senses. But there are other vibrations that you cannot decipher through those senses. And so, you must use another sense. Some call it your sixth sense; we are calling it your emotional center, that feeling that you get in your solar plexus. Those emotions that you feel are also interpreters of vibration.

Abraham-Hicks

You live in a pulsating, vibrating Universe of advanced harmonics. Everything that exists, in your air, in your dirt, in your water, and in your bodies, is vibration in motion and all of it is managed by the powerful Law of Attraction.

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

Whatever you are giving your attention to is vibrating, and as you give your attention to it, a reverberation between you and whatever you are focused upon takes place. You are like your wireless computer....

Abraham-Hicks, Boca Raton, FL, 12/13/03, July, August, September 2004 Newsletter

Most think in terms of thought affecting the world: You think about transmitting outward: "I'm going to affect the world from my outgoing signal." That isn't the way it works. You affect the world by achieving the vibration that brings the signals to you. You create a nucleus that Universe has to respond around. That is how you are the creator.

Abraham-Hicks, Albuquerque, NM, May 9, 1999

Your emotion, your indicator of vibration, is indicating the ratio between your currently focused desire and any other belief or thought that you hold about same. When you feel negative emotion, anger about something, or fear... the name of the emotion does not matter, it always means that there is a desire within you that, in this moment, you are contradicting with some other thought.

Your emotions are always about your relationship with your own desire, and nothing else.

Abraham-Hicks, El Paso, TX, February 17, 2001

There are many things that are absolutely true that you don't want active in your vibration because you don't want to live them. There are many things that other people say are right that you don't want live just because they say are right... and truth doesn't mean diddly squat, it just means it's that's somebody's indicator of how they held their thoughts...

And we would say, 'We would not give any of our attention to any of those things that are true unless they felt good when we thought about them.'

Abraham-Hicks

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.

Abraham-Hicks, Napa, CA, February 27, 1997

Never mind what-is. Imagine it the way you want it to be so that your vibration is a match to your desire. When your vibration is a match to your desire, all things in your experience will gravitate to meet that match every time.

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

Just love everybody that interacts with you no matter how personally, or how peripherally, involved with you they are. The efficiency of the people who deal with you... everything is orchestrated by the manager called Law of Attraction. And your vibration is setting all of it into motion. Everything affecting you is a reflection of the vibration that you are emitting. Spend more time focused upon your dream than upon the reality. The reality gives birth to the dream -- but the dream is where you are wanting to put your attention.

Abraham-Hicks, Houston, TX, January 13, 2001

Love and appreciation are identical vibrations. Appreciation is the vibration of alignment with who-you-are. Appreciation is the absence of everything that feels bad and the presence of everything that feels good. When you focus upon what you want -when you tell the story of how you want your life to be - you will come closer and closer to the vicinity of appreciation, and when you reach it, it will pull you toward all things that you consider to be good in a very powerful way.

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

When you remember that everyone who asks is given, then how wonderful and appropriate it is for you to make the choices for YOU -- for the Universe operates much more efficiently without a middleman interceding on your behalf. No one else knows what is appropriate for you -- but you do. You always know, in the moment, what is best for you.

Abraham-Hicks, Perpetual Flip Calendar ~ May 19th

We would begin saying, “I'm not ever going to get it done. I'm an eternally expanding Being, and I'm doing great where I am, and I'm so eager about what’s coming.” That’s the essence of the vibration that keeps adventurous things coming, keeps you feeling always excited, stable and secure, keeps you feeling in love with life. All day, every day, count your blessings! All day, every day, make your lists of things you appreciate. And as you keep activating what is working in your life, then more pleasing things on all subjects will flow to you.

Abraham-Hicks, March 5, 2004A

All is well

Having fun deliberately creating with delicious intentions

2009-07-14T21:08:00.002-04:00

~free~ by alicepopkorn
I woke up this morning with a new gut-level understanding. For a moment I could see all my beliefs formed a very large structure. There were no walls, only naked girders linked together in an organized way. The vision came with a realization that everything I've taken on as a habit or belief, dysfunctional or not, was to feel good. From childhood on -- in interactions with parents, siblings, schools, friends, jobs and society -- I made choices of how to think: to fit in or not, to stand up for my truth or not, to believe what I was told or not -- and my intention was to feel good in some way.

Many of those same beliefs provide the conflict that I've been working through as I've explored deliberate creating. They have been the blocks to my new desires.

I don't remember the question I was thinking about when I was waking up, but that vision was an answer to it. There is compassion for me in that answer -- I did my best at the time.

I do have a different perspective now. I have felt a new energy being born in me since an experience I had sensing the life energy of my being -- gosh, only three weeks ago.

The pieces of the puzzle have been coming into place and this morning when I had that experience I also knew I didn't have to do anything with that structure. I don't have to figure out how my beliefs are connected. I don't have to detach them and mull over them and fine-tune them into better configurations. I let them go and the Universe will take care of them for me. All I have to do is listen to my feelings and make a choice to feel better in every moment. I like the feeling of freedom -- my awareness that I don't have to spend any time or effort sorting through the past.

The new perspective

I would say my new perspective is more of a hands-on, in-the-moment sensation of deliberately creating. It's less and less about things in the world and more and more about what I'm feeling. I'm beginning to connect what I'm deliberately choosing to think and feel and what I am receiving. I'm definitely having more fun with it.

It started when I noticed that intentions I wrote went before me during the day and seemed to create in a magical way. For example: on a day when I wrote about intentions to have fun I later wrote the post Money throws a celebration for me. The idea of the post came to me suddenly and it almost wrote itself -- the picture seemed to leap out of Flickr at me. I just look at that post and all that fun floods through me.

I set them for my day and am amazed at the way they manifest. And I'm beginning to do them as I go about my day or start a new task. I just listen inside and intend until I feel complete. I'll do that right now and show you what I mean:

I am at peace with myself and every area of my life. I am filled with loving Energy that flows through me and into everything I do. I am creative. I am happy. I am successful. I look at life with eyes of love and life smiles back at me. All is well.

I set intentions before I go to sleep and wake up feeling better and better every morning. I say something like: When I sleep I merge joyfully with my Inner Being. My Inner Being flows warm liquid love through my body and every level of my being. The cells of my body and the processes of my body are bathed in this love and their every desire is answered. When I wake I feel refreshed, relaxed and at peace with myself and my world.

When I write them my energy is uplifted whether I write a large paragraph or a few lines. Somehow they feel very personal -- like I can read the words of the energy of "me."

When I write them for the day I follow with at least 10 things I appreciate and I feel even better after that. Then I think about what I want to do that day and begin where I want to begin.

There is feedback happening. The more I set intentions the better I feel and the more interesting experiences I have from them. And then I feel more eager to say them and see what new things I will experience and so on. I feel like a kid with a new toy.

And it just gets better. :)

Wednesdays with Abraham: Coming together in harmony to co-create

2009-07-08T08:00:00.057-04:00

Apophysis-Garden Party (2) by HocusPocusClick
Although Abraham is responding to a question about sexuality, I really like this quote because it can be applied to any co-creating we do together on any topic. Although sexuality has a physical ecstasy, there can even be ecstatic states of being in creating with another person or with non-physical when we are in harmony. "...it is more of a psychic thing than it is a physical thing."

You see, you come together, as two, for the purpose of co-creating. In other words, any time that two minds come together, then there is a greater pool of thought. That is the reason it is so satisfying to come together as a group. And that is the reason that sexuality can be satisfying, or unsatisfying, just as coming together in thought can be satisfying or unsatisfying. You are seeking harmony. And a truly gratifying sexual experience is one where two come together for the purpose of that harmony, for the purpose of each being uplifted by the physical expression, you see. Anytime two come together for any experience, it is infinitely more satisfying than one, because as uplifters, it is wonderful to be happy, but is it not even more wonderful to be with others who are happy? Do you not find your joy even more magnified when you are having joy with another? And so, in that sense, sexuality is a way that two physical beings can come together and, in a physical way, experience more than one can experience singularly. And the reason that there is that climactic point, that point of ecstasy, is because one coming together with one in harmony, one plus one is many times more than two....it is more of a psychic thing than it is a physical thing.

And so, when you have the pleasure of coming together in harmony with one with whom you are tuned with psychically, emotionally, as well as physically -- then you have ecstasy.

Abraham-Hicks, A New Beginning II, pp. 246-247.

If you would like to join with other like-minded souls, here are a few of the many co-creating global communities:

Gaia Community - "Our reason for being is the same as yours: to discover and realize that which we're truly meant to become, and, in doing so, to encourage and inspire others to do the same."

Powerful Intentions - Co-creators who believe in the power of intentions and the Law of Attraction -- and who come together for joyful creating.

The 100 Day Reality Challenge - Participants declare their intentions for attracting for the next 100 days and support each other in manifesting. Groups formed for support include Abraham-Hicks, EFT, The Secret, Open Heart and many more.

Turning downstream with Abraham-Hicks: All is well

2009-07-03T08:00:00.001-04:00

and yes I said yes by It'sGreg
If I start feeling fussy about something I remind myself that I don't have to be perfect. In the past I've gotten what I wanted when I was in the midst of emotional storms.

The things that we would be asking ourselves is, "What proportion of my day am I in vibrational harmony with my desires, which means, how much of my day am I happy, glad, eager, fulfilled, satisfied, complimentary? And what percentage of my day am I ornery, irritated, frustrated, or blaming?" And you don't have to do 100%, you don't have to do 90%, you don't have to do 80%. If you could even get around 55% feeling better, than not feeling so good -- you'd have significant movement in what begins to happen in your experience.

Abraham-Hicks, San Diego, CA, August 11, 2001

When I feel lack I turn from thinking about what isn't here to thinking about what I desire. I remind myself that it's a sure thing:

The key to living happily ever after is in understanding and therefore trusting the process....

And we think that the reason so many of you stand in a place of discord between when you've launched a rocket and when it's manifested fully in your experience is not because you understand that it's coming. The discord is because you're really not sure that it's coming. You think it might not come and in your awareness of the absence of it you can hardly stand that!

So the work that we offer, what we're always wanting to assist you in understanding is: IT'S COMING! IT'S A SURE THING!.

Abraham-Hicks, October 13, 2001

I remind myself that each of us exist in our own Universe of unlimited abundance. In this moment, all any of us have to do is reach for a thought that feels a little bit better, savor the moment, and enjoy sending our desires out to this loving Universe that says, "Yes!"

All the resources you will ever want or need are at your fingertips. All you have to do is identify what you want to do with it, and then practice the feeling-place of what it will feel like when that happens. There is nothing you cannot be or do or have. You are blessed Beings; you have come forth into this physical environment to create. There is nothing holding you back, other than your own contradictory thought. And your emotion tells you you're doing that. Life is supposed to be fun -- it is supposed to feel good! You are powerful Creators and right on schedule. Savor more; fix less. Laugh more; cry less. Anticipate positively more; anticipate negatively less. Nothing is more important than that you feel good. Just practice that and watch what happens. There is great love here for you. We are complete.

Abraham-Hicks, March 22, 2003

And above all I remember what Esther and Jerry add after each loving quote of Abraham's:

All is well.

I realize my world really is a reflection of myself

2009-07-01T12:10:00.079-04:00

Water Nymph by jurvetson
As a deliberate creator I accept intellectually that I create my world through my thoughts. Really understanding it is a different matter. I seem to always be experiencing changes to my perspective and realizing something new about deliberate creating and how I view reality.

I woke up this morning in the midst of a conversation with non-physical Guidance. During the conversation I really understood on a gut level that my world is a reflection of myself and if I see lack in the world in any way, it is only because I see a lack in myself.

Wowzah.

It's not that there is a lack of money. It's that I see some lack in myself and it expresses as money. Or relationships. Or anything that I perceive as a lack.

I have to laugh because I've come to this realization so many times over the years: the best we can do is just to love and accept ourselves. It's a matter of detaching my old way of thinking which has been some version of job = money = pay bills and changing it to: love self and dream = alignment with Well-Being = delicious manifestation. And it happens day by day as my understanding grows.

As I was writing this I realized that if I see beauty in my world, it is beauty within me. How literally is the world a reflection of me? Am I a beautiful sunset? A hawk soaring in a cloudless sky?

The adventure is within. The path is to listen to my feelings and follow the good ones -- they are Love itself calling me. This physical life is mine to co-create by sending out my desires, to enjoy manifestations and to come to peace with who I am in this experience.

The process is like hard layers and patterns keep dissolving into more flowing, free forms of thinking. And when I think about it, it's as if my thinking is becoming more like my non-physical self than the physical world I see around me.

I see intriguing possibilities of more magic yet to come.

The Epiphany really works: I love you I practice this new technique - I say I love you to myself and a crying child quiets down.

Abraham-Hicks: Abundance

2009-06-27T21:02:00.011-04:00

Niagra Falls by Silent Light
Once you are able to achieve and consistently maintain your personal alignment, a great deal of money will flow into your experience (if that is your desire). Do not let others set the standards about how much money you should have or about what you should do with it for you are the only one who could ever accurately define that. Come into alignment with who-you-really-are, and allow the things that life has helped you to know that you want to flow into your experience.

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

If you were standing at Niagara Falls and someone explained to you that this is your source of abundance. Wellness flows in this amazing flow. Wellness, clarity, dollars, is all flowing to you in this Niagara Falls, and these falls are yours and yours alone to use in whatever way you are wanting in this lifetime.

Oh wait, there is one other... see way over there in the distant bank, and you look way over there and you see a tiny little figure of a thing there in the mist and you are told that other one person and you share all this abundance and energy and you say "Oh! There is more than enough than either of the two of us could ever use."

You would not find yourself worrying about what he did with it. You can barely see him anyway. You would not worry about what he would do with it or what he wouldn't do with it because the abundance is so enormous.

Instead you would get focused on how you would utilize it, and you would begin to understand that even if you gave it every waking moment in this physical experience, you could not even begin to make the slightest difference in this stream... so finally when you get it, that the stream is enormous and eternal and ever present and always flowing, finally once you get that, then you stop worrying about what anyone else is doing with it or about it and you just develop your relationship with the stream.

Abraham-Hicks, March 4, 1998

Abraham is responding to a questioner who wants to know thoughts that will be a bridge for him to abundance:

"I know that there is not one 'pot of gold' that everyone must dip into. But that we are the creators of abundance, and that the Universe will supply all that is wanted by all of us who will allow it.

And so, I see this never-ending waterfall of abundance and, while I have gone to the waterfall most of my life, with a very little container, I am recognizing now that it has only been that I have taken a very small container. There is enough for all of us. I am not depriving another if I take a larger container. It is not that it is not there, it is that I have not taken a large enough container to allow more. And so, now I am! I am opening a wider passageway for the receiving of more abundance.

And while there has not been enough in the past, there will be more than enough in the future, for that is my current desire and I am creator of my experience. There is more than enough. There is more than enough. THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH. THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH! THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH!" ....

Do not take a truck or a barrel. Open your passageway. Open your passageway and allow it to flow in a never-ending and continuous stream. All that you are wanting!

From Abraham-Hicks A NEW BEGINNING I, Ninth printing, pp 205-207

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.

Welcoming the Summer Solstice

2009-06-21T09:00:00.043-04:00

Trilithons Silhouette by NickFitz
Instead of the ancient rituals honoring the summer solstice, today we often welcome summer more playfully: strawberry shortcake, picnics, and swimming at a lake or beach.

Summer is about bounty. Richness. Abundance. Play. Fun. Yesterday I was fussing about something that "might" happen four months from now. I realized it really is better for me to just take it one day at a time. The Universe handles the details, it's just up to me to enjoy this eternal moment. I would like to honor the summer solstice and offer you some treats to enjoy this day.

From Abraham we have a reminder to have fun:

"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..."

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

You are joy, looking for a way to express. It's not just that your purpose is joy, it is that you are joy. You are love and joy and freedom and clarity expressing. Energy---frolicking and eager---that's who you are. And so, if you're always reaching for alignment with that, you're always on your path, and your path will take you into all kinds of places. We will not deny that you will not discover miracles and create benefits and be involved in creation, and that you will not uplift humanity and we will not say that you will not find satisfaction in so many things that you create, but we can't get away from the acknowledgment that you are Pure Positive Energy that translates into the human emotion of joy.

Abraham-Hicks, Boca Raton, FL, December 13, 2003

To me, every season is about my love of nature and all the wild things that live there. I offer you two travelers who share their appreciation and love for the woods and rivers of this beautiful world we live in.

Today I asked spirit what would be good to add to my post and my search terms led me right to Powerful Intentions. I feel ready for them now and I offer them to you. This is a loving global community of like-minded souls who are manifesting their intentions using the Law of Attraction.

It's time to know it's a sure thing. It's time to have fun. It's just plain time!

Abraham-Hicks: To follow your bliss, keep dreaming

2009-06-09T12:23:00.032-04:00

Trebuchet: 1208 by Trée
In the quote below Abraham is talking about the empowering effect of saying why we have our desires. When we begin taking action, saying why keeps us focused on what we want to create instead of what is in the here and now. It's a reminder to keep dreaming while following our path of bliss:

Questioner: .... for example, I was taking voice lessons and in the beginning it was fun and now it isn't fun any more. And I don't know if it’s not fun because I'm afraid that I'm not any good or it’s because....

Abraham: Well from what we can feel from you about that.... in the beginning your vibration was pure because you were hopeful, you were anticipating fun things, you were anticipating wonderful things ... always, when we’re watching someone... whether they’re building an empire or a relationship or anything really... the majority of the energy flows while it’s still in the dreaming stages. Because there’s a tendency once you get in the action stages to get bogged down in the parts of it that you do not like. And so we would say that all that’s happened with your new music is that you've got thought focused upon where you are, instead of on where you’re going....

We've noticed as we've watched all of you that your energy is always pure when you’re thinking about what you want and WHY you want it than it is when you’re thinking about what you want and how you’re gonna get it and where it’s gonna come from or whose gonna help you -- because you don't have answers to those questions. And so all it does is activate the vibration of doubt and worry. Where if you’re thinking about what you want and WHY you want it, it’s usually a vibration of allowing that allows the Universe to open more doors for you.

Abraham-Hicks, Salt Lake City, UT, June 29, 2002

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 2/15/2000

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.

Part II: Sensing my being unfolding

2009-05-25T12:06:00.031-04:00

Hibiscus by allegra

It's never too late to change our future -- we're the ones we've been waiting for. ~Unknown

I had a sudden and powerful experience of awareness of Life Energy which I wrote about in Part I: powerful, golden, positive, alive, aware, intelligent, creative Energy. The experience began unfolding into my life immediately.

I was exploring the Energy and thought of the doctor appointment I had the next morning. I realized that I wasn't going to see them tomorrow morning, I was going to see me! It's all a reflection of me.

I could feel how worthy I am because I am the only thing in my Universe. There was no need for old ways of thinking and reluctance about the doctor and nurses because there's no "them" that I might feel better about or less than about. It's ALL me! So, right then I realized that it would serve me to just love them all, because in doing so I am loving my self.

I wrote a letter to the doctor and nurses, family, and others that I felt any resentment or negative feelings about. I told them that I loved them and listed all my appreciation of them. If I couldn't feel it right then, I didn't put them in the letter -- that will come. I didn't mail this, but I sent it from my heart.

My desire for each doctor visit came true in really charming and specific ways last week. It feels very playful to me.

I have felt more relaxed and secure. I have trusted my feelings and desires more. I was working a job I felt done with over a year ago. It's short projects and this time I had a wonderful boss and work that is so easy for me to do. I'm very good at it by now. Next year it won't be necessary for me to go in, but for now it was money that I desired. The thing is that I was very done with it and Thursday I left the project. It felt right and I had an experience of myself coming into focus with the feeling of freedom and abundance I had about next year -- like someone adjusting a camera lens until they could see the scene clearly. The "sometime soon" is right here and now.

Deliberate creating is becoming much more fun for me now. Results are coming quicker and are very obviously answering my desires, like the doctor visits. This has helped me realize that the Universe really does answer our desires right now. Say I wanted to win the lottery because I wanted to feel free and secure. I can choose those thoughts of freedom and security right now. The Universe brings me coupons, and gifts, and sales, and job opportunities to provide for what I need right now. I feel more secure, I "need" less, and the future becomes a place for visualizing delightful things to do, be, and have. The "here and now" is where I practice, play and enjoy. It's where I send off desires and see how it all works.

I'm interested in doing what feels good right now and less interested in trying to stuff myself into any kind of pattern to get things accomplished. I set intentions. I listen to my feelings and work my way back to good feelings when there is grumpiness. Abraham says we never get it done, so there's no hurry or rush. I'm just taking it day by day.

This energy of Source is so immense and fast that I knew there was no way I could dance fast enough to take action and bring my desires into manifestation. I was wondering how I worked with It to create. I'm getting the idea that we are, in a way, magicians or alchemists -- we set our desires in motion and enjoy them when they arrive.

Source creates for me and this is working in an unexpected way for me. When I began setting intentions I noticed that creating seemed to go before me and I would catch up to it during the day. The thoughts would be there that supported my desires or I would suddenly feel enthusiasm for a chore I had intended and it was done easily, quickly, and joyfully.

This week it's happening even faster. Instead of happening sometime during the day, my own thoughts seemed to rearrange themselves almost instantaneously to support my new desire.

Just to give a very small example: I was meeting my friend Gina Saturday for lunch and was pushing myself to go to the bank first to get money. I didn't really want to go though, I just wanted to relax and meet her. Thoughts supporting relaxing came into my mind -- zip zip zip. I could actually feel my thoughts rearrange like puzzle pieces and with them were several ideas of places to find money around the house. I found plenty to pay for lunch, met Gina, and she later treated me to a delicious chocolate soda on a very hot, steamy day.

As I look back, what seems to be happening is that I am aligning with the free, unbound vibration of that Energy that I felt. I set intentions and my day flows before me. I have a desire and my thoughts rearrange themselves to fit it. Worry, reluctance or any fussing is too draggy and slow.

I do use my deliberate creating tools when I get in a muddle, but my life work now seems to be to look around me and decide what I want and to do those things that feel good. I have more forward thinking creativity to do rather than rearranging manifestation from the past.

It seems like the Universe is rolling out a red carpet before me. The more I accept it, the easier and more fun life becomes. I "do" less, but more gets done.

There is so much more that I could say, but this is enough for now. It's amazing to me to realize that there are as many paths as there are people. Some of you are already in this flowing mode and exploring it through blissful living. I've come at it from the deliberate thinking side and am finding that easy, joyful way to live.

It's amazing to me to think that life is eternally and joyfully unfolding for you and me. There will always be new discoveries and more good feelings. Abraham says there is even relief from joy. There is no end to the good feelings we can have and the delight we can experience.

Each person, critter, bird, crystal, and cloud seems eternally new. We are each wondrous and offer so much to the world just by being in it. We are magnificent in our anger which is better than the feeling of helplessness. Break a dish or two! Adorable with our irritation which feels better than anger. Toss it in the waste basket! Delightful with hope and joy. Delish! It's all part of allowing ourselves to be the flowing expression of Love that we are in truth.

All is well.

And so it is.

10 ways to turn downstream to Well-Being

Part 1: Sensing the Life Energy of my being

2009-05-24T17:46:00.168-04:00

Sioux enjoying a romp in the snow by pmarkham

Five days ago I had gone to bed. I had a doctor's appointment the next morning that I wasn't looking forward to and was just laying there feeling my way on thoughts of health and Well-Being. Suddenly I had an experience of "I" observing Life Energy. I quickly had quite a few realizations.

The truth of so many of the things Abraham has been telling us were suddenly clear. I often say All Is Well and think of Abraham telling us there is only Well-Being. Now I could feel it. That Life Energy I felt is unbound and free. It is intelligent. It looks forward with total positive golden living awareness. It is that joy of life that flows through all things.

I felt amazement -- it was clear to me that Source Energy really is in charge! This is immense loving energy and intelligence. I knew It has the responsibility to "do" and my responsibility is to make choices and "be." My power is to either let life energy flow through me or block it. I choose my state of being by making decisions and selecting my thoughts, always with the option to choose being at peace with myself and my world.

I felt eager to play with this new realization. I didn't know what to do then, but as I sensed and felt around in the experience it was clear that what I could perceive of my physical world wasn't nearly fun and joyful enough for that energy. Much more appreciation would be called for and more experiences that are fun. I am the flow-er of the energy and so it will be my work to find ways to allow that flow.

I knew it didn't have anything with the actual things I did, but with the way I approached life. It meant trusting that what I really want is good and coming into alignment with my own desires. When I am in alignment with myself is when I feel good! The money will flow. What I desire will be provided. It means trusting myself and Life itself.

This experience has unfolded with gifts each day. I really enjoy having my hands on the controls of deliberate creating. Spirit hears my desire and has provided understanding and awarenesses each day. I'll write more about that in part II.

This is what I think about now: That what you and I desire is not only good, but contributes to the Well-Being in the world. When you allow yourself to have fun, others feel permission to have fun. And in such an elegant way, this loving Universe orchestrates experiences so that you not only have your delights, but you become part of the joyful music of life that goes out and enriches the life of others.

Happy Easter! by Butterfly Sha

While I can't hand you a basket filled with jelly beans and chocolate Easter eggs to take home, I can offer you a sweet treat from darling Abraham:

Take the worthiness that is yours, and let the "Fairies of the Universe" assist you. Stop taking so much responsibility upon yourself, and live happily ever after. Shorten that crevasse between where you are and where you want to be, on every subject, to now, now, now, now, now. Ride the wave. Just pluck the fruit... You don't have to be the one who puts it in the ground any more. You can just skip across the top of things and pluck the fruit of all of the things you want. "Oh, fruit. Oh, delicious this, delicious this, delicious this, delicious this." In other words, it's all right there for you....

Abraham-Hicks, Boston, MA, May 21, 2005

You are all connected to Source energy and well-being is what is natural to you. And as you come to expect that things will always turn out right, then things will always turn out right....

So look into the mirror, look into your eyes and say, "Inner Being, are you in there?" Your Inner Being is in there. And then say, "So what do you think about me? What do you think?" And your Inner Being will look back at you with love so deep and so sure that maybe you'll hear. Your Inner Being adores you. Your Inner Being knows your value. Your Inner Being is YOU.... What we're saying is, "Accept you and love you and accept that all is well with you and watch the benefits that will come to you from that."

2 quick ways to align with Abraham- Hicks: It's a sure thing!

2009-04-05T12:59:00.021-04:00

The key to living happily ever after is in understanding and therefore trusting the process.

In other words, feel the difference [between] when you're on your way somewhere and you know it's a sure thing so the anticipation is just delicious anticipation, and then that feeling of wanting to be somewhere and you have no idea if you'll ever get there.

And the thing we're wanting you to keep practicing is, know that it's a sure thing.

In other words, you will never be let down. Know that it's a sure thing and in that knowing that it's a sure thing then you don't have to 'this red hot minute' make it manifest.

It is only when you finally really get it that whatever you want is an absolutely sure thing, it's just the timing of it that you're not in control of, that you really start enjoying the savoring of the unfolding.

And we think that the reason so many of you stand in a place of discord between when you've launched a rocket and when it's manifested fully in your experience is not because you understand that it's coming. The discord is because you're really not sure that it's coming. You think it might not come and in your awareness of the absence of it you can hardly stand that!

So the work that we offer, what we're always wanting to assist you in understanding is:

IT'S COMING! IT'S A SURE THING!

It's just a matter of how long any of you are going to hold yourself vibrationally apart from it!

And once you really get that and stop torturing yourself with thoughts of lack and you start soothing yourself with those thoughts of anticipation, then you begin to be the savorer that you've come forth to be.

Abraham-Hicks, October 13, 2001

I just love this quote! It's become a mantra for me lately whenever I feel unease of any kind. I just feel a gentle of wave of relief whenever I think it.

Abraham is advising us to practice positive thoughts about our desires to come into alignment with their vibration. One easy way I use is creating a document in Notebook to keep quotes, notes or anything else I want readily available on my computer desktop. I enter the quote in Notebook, then create a shortcut and drag it from Windows Explorer onto my desktop. Notebook is such a small program that with two clicks on the shortcut the quote pops up for easy viewing. I don't need to open it often though because I get an alignment boost when I see the name of the file, "It's a sure thing," whenever I glance at my desktop. I use this technique for new quotes or notes whenever I want to align with a new desire.

Another easy way to align is to make a creation card, tip #5 in my post 10 ways to turn downstream to Well-Being.

Tip #5: Make a creation card. One time I had a little glossy card advertising a play I wanted to attend. I didn't have the funds to go, but every once in awhile I would touch the colorful card and smile. I went to a meeting a week later and a woman gave me two tickets to the play because she and her husband couldn't attend. What fun! Last week I got a plain note card and wrote the affirmation that was just what I wanted. I drew colorful stars and decorated it so that I felt good when I looked at it. I would touch it briefly or read it every once in awhile. On Friday I received exactly what I had asked for. It was a wonderful feeling! I'm definitely adding creation cards to my deliberate creating toolbox.

You are blessed beings, who deserve Well-being, and Well-being is making its way to you at all times. If you will relax and find a way to allow it -- it will be your experience.

Abraham-Hicks: A rampage of Well-Being about a "difficult" relationship

2009-03-26T14:40:00.006-04:00

I just ran across this Abraham quote about a "difficult" relationship. It's such a good one I had to share it. I was enchanted by Abraham's clear and brilliant example of the tennis player near the end of the quote. It's so helpful for me in turning around my perspective of people I considered difficult before and can now see give me the opportunity I wanted to become more of who I truly am. Thank you, Abe!

Here is Abraham with a great example of deliberating choosing good feeling thoughts and ramping up energy about relationships:

Abraham: You're less resistant now than you were before. You feel less trapped, you feel more in control.

And if now, some thoughts that move through your mind might be: Well Abraham you guided me, it's not so easy for me to do it. But that would be escalating something that you don't want.

So as you find a thought like that beginning to come, then you offer the other:
Well, with some practice I know I can get good at it.
And I know my life experience very clearly.
And I really know what I am looking for.
And there are so many aspects in my life that are going well.
And I have so many dynamic relationships that are working with so many people.
And it is a good indicator that this matters so much.
It must mean that there is something that I really want here.
In other words. otherwise I would just walk away from it all together.
There is SO much more in balance that is of value for me here than there is not.
And I am very good at directing my own thought.
And I am very clear and decisive in my life experiences as a whole.

And isn't it nice that somebody has activated something within me that has been present for a long time, and that as I really now want to move into a better feeling place, and as I work deliberately to do it, and as I achieve my connection with myself relative to this subject, isn't it wonderful that there will never be another relationship on the planet no matter where that it is, that I will not be in the utter control about.

And, am I not really grateful for the opportunity to interact with this person and find this desire within me? I've shot off a rocket that would not have been there if it would not have been for this relationship, and this is a desire that really goes to the very core of my being, as I reach for those things that feel better and I align with who I really am OH how its gonna serve me in every aspect of my life. Am I not grateful now for all of the grief that she has given me?!!

Asker: That was really good.

Abraham: You see, you attract these dynamic relationships because you want to evoke more clarity. It is like the tennis player does not go out onto the court and ask for someone who is new at it to play. In other words, the better you get at everything the more opportunity you want to sharpen who you really are. And you have a player here who is evoking dynamic things from you.

And now what you are wanting to say is: The best of me is being evoked here. And while I might for whatever reason tend sometimes to not be the best of me, I sure know when I am not, and that is worth a lot, isn't it? Yes.

10 ways to turn downstream to Well-Being

2009-03-23T18:34:00.068-04:00

A new path by jervetson

....there is a lot of real life that's wonderful and there's a lot of real life that sucks, and it's all your choice. Focus wherever you want, and take your path wherever you want it to be.

Abraham-Hicks, Ashland, OR, July 23, 2005

I'm a deliberate creator who happens to enjoy learning how it all works. One thing that has become clear to me is that it just doesn't matter what has gone before. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or thought -- even if it is a surgeon or any other authority. It doesn't matter what I did or what I thought -- even if that thought was one second ago. I have the ability to allow what I want and nothing else matters.

All I have to do is work right now to change my thinking. I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to know everything. All I have to do is keep turning in the direction I want to go and keep walking. Sometimes when there are strong negative feelings I use different techniques and turn and turn and turn and turn...and finally it becomes easier as I learn the new feeling that matches my desire. Abraham calls this turning downstream.

Here are ten ways I used last week to turn downstream:

1. Setting intentions. I intend health. I intend feeling peace of mind. I intend whatever. I've discovered that I feel responsible for what I desire when I say intentions. I say them and then I feel a gentle pulling sensation of movement and somehow magically it usually manifests fairly quickly. Relief giving thoughts for peace of mind come to me or I think of a way to do something that I want to accomplish and the energy is there.

2. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). EFT is a way to move negative energy by tapping on accupressure points while making emotionally charge statements about the issue and then tapping in positive thoughts. EFT is used by millions of people around the world by laymen and professionals. It's one of many techniques for transforming energy, but it's quick, easy, and effective so it's one I prefer.

3. Listing appreciations. I write my intentions that I want to create for the day and then make a list of ten things I truly appreciate. I usually end up writing more because I get on a roll as my feelings lift by doing this.

4. Call Unity Prayer line: 1-800-669-7729. This is pure, positive prayer that is in alignment with Abraham and deliberate creating. For more information about Unity find the welcome page here.

5. Make a creation card. One time I had a little glossy card advertising a play I wanted to attend. I didn't have the funds to go, but every once in awhile I would touch the colorful card and smile. I went to a meeting a week later and a woman gave me two tickets to the play because she and her husband couldn't attend. What fun! Last week I got a plain note card and wrote the affirmation that was just what I wanted. I drew colorful stars and decorated it so that I felt good when I looked at it. I would touch it briefly or read it every once in awhile. On Friday I received exactly what I had asked for. It was a wonderful feeling! I'm definitely adding creation cards to my deliberate creating toolbox.

6. I ask myself what I want. This is the fastest way to turn downstream. Fears and worries seem to always be about something other than the present. So, right then maybe I want comfort, or I want a sign that all is well, or I want a better way to think about the condition, or I want guidance, or support...or I could think of any number of things I might want, but basically -- I want a feeling. There is a feeling of discomfort and I want to feel better. By asking what I want I focus downstream and the answer (and feeling) comes quickly.

7. I say "All is well" and I have a feeling of relief. All is well is my belief about the Universe and I'm reassuring myself that the fabric of everything I see is Love itself.

8. Enjoy nature. Spring is here, the air is fresh, and the birds are making their spring sounds. Just opening the window, taking a deep breath, and enjoying the view is turning downstream for me.

9. Watch comedies and read good books. My library has a great selection of DVDs and I started watching the Frasier series again. I love their second season -- every show was a gem.

10. Daydream. I think of a good daydream that I can pick up and continue whenever I want. I spin yarns where I am the heroine and have delightful adventures.

There are many, many ways to feel good -- swimming, walking, loving pets, friends, and family, a good meal, crafts, giving a hug. More ways than I could count. All we have to do is know what we want and enjoy the ride as the faeries of the Universe take us to our dreams.

Chief Joseph: Appreciation and creating miracles in these changing times

2009-03-05T09:48:00.027-05:00

I was drawn to this message from John Cali and Chief Joseph last night and it was, as usual, perfect for me. In the past I've written an uplifting set of intentions and a list of 10 things I appreciate each day, but haven't been doing it for awhile. I was thinking of it yesterday, but kept putting it off until this message reminded me of it's power.

This is John Cali and Chief Joseph on the topic of Thanksgiving last November, but the message itself and the information about changes occurring is more timely than ever:

Here’s Chief Joseph.

Even though your cultures celebrate the giving of thanks, many of you individually do not. It’s a powerful process, this thanks-giving, one you could practice daily to your great benefit.

Your world, and all of you individually, are going through major changes and energy shifts. You do not need us to tell you it can be pretty scary. Your planet is in the midst of a financial "meltdown." You’re still waging various wars on many fronts.

The recent presidential election in the USA has been heralded as a new era, an era of dramatic change. Indeed it is that.

But the change you yearn for, to be fully effective, has to happen not only on a national or global scale, but also in the hearts and minds of each of you individually.

When you can raise your own personal vibrations, miracles will happen. At least what you call miracles.

If every person on the planet could create a vibration of peace in his/her own personal life, you would create peace on earth instantaneously.

It doesn't even take every person. It takes only a few powerfully focused and loving beings among you.

You can contribute to this transformation, to this global movement back into the light, simply by giving thanks for, and appreciating, all the good you have in your lives. You all have much.

Focus on the good. Be grateful for it. Give thanks for it. Appreciate it. Love it.

Then you will be a powerful force in creating the change and growth you seek for yourselves and your planet.

1. I love to write and appreciate how easy it is to create blogs and share ideas.
2. I appreciate the wonderful birding and nature blogs like Kayak Paddle Tales, Saskatchewan Birds, Nature, and Scenery, and Country Captures -- all the creative people who share their love of nature and critters.
3. I love trees in all their glory: in winter bare branches dark against the snow, spring green and flowers so full of life, the full richness of summer, and wearing their blazing colors of autumn finery.
4. I do love birds and animals. I especially appreciate geese and ducks -- wild beings who share our world. I love to hear the geese honking as they fly over to their evening ponds.
5. I appreciate my good friends, especially my metaphysical friend Gina, who explores the information of Abraham and Seth.
6. I love that feeling when I start coming into a new balance on an old or challenging condition using deliberate creating. It's that place where the condition might still be present in the physical, but I've been doing my work and I can tell my thoughts and feelings have changed. It's on it's way out of here!
7. I love having money to pay my bills, get delicious food, and shop for some things I'd like to have. Whether it's $100 or $5, I've discovered the Universe has lovely things just waiting for me.
8. I adore asking Abraham and my Inner Being for help and having the loving thoughts come into my mind or being guided like I was to Chief Joseph's message. I like the comfort of feeling that loving connection.
9. I have so much appreciation for President Obama and his desire for unity and to create a better world for all of us. I appreciate the powerful stream of Well-Being he is summoning that will benefit all of us and that all we need to do is focus on Well-Being to ride the stream in our own lives. I love his green iniatives and care for the environment.
10. I appreciate you and the opportunity to share our journey.

May you be blessed with unexpected moments of delight and delicious thoughts today and always.

Abraham-Hicks: Desires are 99.99% completed vibrationally before we see it physically

2009-03-04T14:34:00.019-05:00

... and when you’re beating the drum of something that feels good, you’re marching marching marching marching marching towards something that when it manifests, and it will, you will like it.

99 and then some, 99.99% of every creation is complete vibrationally before you see physical evidence of it. That’s what we mean when we say, your life experience has caused you to ask and Source has become it.

AND IF YOU COULD JUST GET A SENSE FROM US HERE TODAY, OF HOW TRUE THAT VIBRATIONAL CREATION IS, YOU WOULD NEVER AGAIN DOUBT IF YOU CAN HAVE IT.

You'd just start pointing yourself in the direction of it and keep going till you got there. And if you knew that, you'd go steadily and you'd get there fast.

As Jerry and Esther travel from Phoenix to San Diego, it’s easy, 400 miles point west, keep going, not long. Quantifiable. They never ever get half way, Yuma, and freak out because they’re not in San Diego, and then get all disoriented and turn around and go back to Phoenix.

It never happens, Phoenix-Yuma, Phoenix-Yuma, Phoenix-Yuma, Phoenix-Yuma, Phoenix-Yuma, how far did they say it was? We've got 25,000 miles on the car and we’re not there yet.

They never get half way out there and then announce that San Diego is an impossible dream, or that it is incurable, or that it is only there for others and not for them, or that they weren't born under the right star or to the right parents, they never ever ever ever feel that way about that quantifiable journey and we want you to understand, that in exactly the same way there is no place that you cannot get to from where you are.

Abraham-Hicks, North Los Angeles, CA, February 18, 2006, Side A

I just pulled this one out of my Abe sorting folder and it's one of my favorites. I just love this quote! I'm fascinated to know that our desires are completed so thoroughly in non-physical and it just takes that little extra joyful expectation on our part to bring it home.

And I just love the Phoenix-Yuma-San Diego analogy because road signs are so clear: 30 miles to Yuma...next exit for Yuma...100 miles to San Diego...50 miles to San Diego. We know what those signs mean so what are the clear road signs for our desires?

The first road sign has to be how we feel. If we feel good we are on the road and we are building to a vibrational match to our desires. If we were already a match we would have had it, but now we are coming into alignment, allowing ourselves to feel better about ourselves and seeing Well-Being everywhere we look.

The second road sign is having fun looking for things to appreciate about our desire in the here and now. Say, if we want a certain car and we see one we like -- all of a sudden we are seeing that car on TV and on the street and parked next to us in a lot. We want clarity and open an Abe book or listen to a workshop tape and the answer is right there. We're not feeling good and want a better feeling and see a bumper sticker expressing it or hear an actor say it on TV or in a movie. It's like they're speaking to you and me and they are -- our Inner Being is answering. The more we appreciate these signs the more they flood into our experience. They are the same vibration as our desire -- they are the road signs telling us our dream is right here, right now.

The third road sign is things that are like our desire, but not quite. It's a vibrational match to our fuzziness about our desire and gives us a platform for clarity about what we want as well as the chance to clean up limiting beliefs. Ok, that guy was good looking and we got along, but I'd like something more. I'd like to share my love of outdoors with my man, for us to have the intimacy of friends as well as passion. I'm ready for this now. Please take care of that for me, Abe. :) Either that fellow will start getting interested in hiking or he will fade out of the relationship letting a joyful hiker join us on our path.

There might be other road signs, but those come readily to mind. The main thing is to enjoy the Energy we have summoned. Abe says this is why we came into this experience -- to see contrast, send off a desire, and then ride the stream of Well-Being we have generated.

May you enjoy the delicious Energy of your desires today and always.

Abraham-Hicks on desires and loving self leading to my reflections on decluttering

2009-03-03T13:41:00.021-05:00

Letting go, rearranging, changing: it's happening with my thoughts, beliefs, and behavior as well as in my home and projects I work on using my computer. I must admit I love decluttering. I like getting rid of the old stale energy of things I no longer need and finding things I put away that I enjoy getting out and using. I love the feeling of freedom and relief of letting go of outmoded stifling beliefs most of all.

I have a folder full of Abe quotes I've saved and am working with a long term project putting them in separate folders like contrast, appreciation, Inner Being, etc., so they'll be easier to find. I read a few each day to transfer them to the right spot and it is such a perfect thing to do right now. I've been working with Abe's information for about five years and I'm deep in a state of transition where I'm feeling the intimacy of how I create relationships and everything in my life. I can feel how it is all me -- not them -- me! My old ways of being with others is on the way out and my new perspective is emerging -- in old family relationships and everywhere.

I feel all over the emotional map sometimes and I can see a reflection in the way people seem to be right now about the changes happening in our economy and world. When I read Abe I feel in balance and always find a message that speaks right to the heart of my desire to feel better.

I just ran across a quote that I enjoyed and wanted to share with you. It fits with the ones I picked to post yesterday. When I am in the midst of negative emotions the information is much more powerful to me than when I'm just reading it. I appreciate this reminder from Abe that I am summoning the energy of my desires every moment and all I have to do is enjoy it -- and the quickest way to enjoy it is to appreciate and love my self.

You know, I think this decluttering has to do with letting go of things that weren't loving to my self. It's clearly that way with letting go of limiting beliefs, but I think also with "things." For example, something I am keeping because "I might need it some day" instead of trusting that I am always provided for and I can source whatever I need at the time. The decluttering process is from the desire for freedom and another step in trusting that all is well.

I moved into a good place reading Abe this morning. May you float gently on the stream of Well-Being today:

What is a desire? A desire is a natural product of living in a diverse environment. Desires are born naturally within you. And when the desire is born, the desire is the promise of the future. The desire is the summoning of life.

Although many of you do not understand what you’re saying when you say it, you say “Ask, and it is given.” The asking occurs through the desire that is born within you. When contrast helps you conclude a new decision or desire, that desire is a vibrational summoning of Energy.

The desire is the asking. The Life Force that comes in response to the desire is the answering to that asking.

“What am I doing with my vibrational countenance in the moment of desire summoning through me? Am I allowing the Life Force to flow through me in a non-resisted way, or am I pinching it off?” You can tell by the way you feel: If you feel good, it means you’re allowing it. If you feel not so good, it means, to the degree that you do not feel good, you’re not allowing it. Severe depression means really not letting it flow. While passion means really letting it flow.

Whether you feel passion or strong rage, both of those emotions mean there is strong, strong, strong summoning of desire. If it feels good, you’re letting it flow, but if it feels bad, you are not.

There is another part of you, your non-physical inner being. And that other part of you, that God force within you, adores that which you are. And the sooner you get to that *self adoration*, the sooner that you will allow the Energy that is really you to flow.

Abraham-Hicks: The only thing holding you back is the lack you feel when you don't appreciate yourself

2009-03-02T23:07:00.011-05:00

Almost all of you, right from the beginning, relative to self, were taught that you are inappropriate beings, here to prove worthiness to something that moves around so much you can't even really figure out what the rules are -- because everybody has a different interpretation of what's right and what's wrong. So, we could put it very simply: The only thing that has been getting in your way, the only thing that has been holding you up, the only thing that has been troubling any of you, is one thing: you have not been appreciating you. You've been looking at you, seeing lack and vibrationally closing down the Energy that allows you to get what you want. That has been it.

Can a person who doesn't appreciate self suddenly start appreciating self? We don't think so. We see, every time you try, you fall back into these same old ruts. Every time you try to get outside of yourself to look at yourself, what you see is the same thing you've sort of trained yourself to see. That's why you've said and you have heard others say, "I can't see myself as others see me."

Well, you do see yourself as some others see you. In other words, everybody sees you a little differently depending on where they're vibrating. A connected one thinks you're magnificent. A not connected one doesn't think you're so magnificent -- but it doesn't have anything to do with you. It has to do with where they're vibrating as they are perceiving you.

So here is a process. Some say it is a trick that works. It's not a trick. It's a utilization of the Laws of the Universe. Remember that your goal is to find an object of attention that makes you feel good while you find it. Well, some objects are easier than others, aren't they? Esther looks at her little cat, and she cannot feel other than appreciation for this pure positive Energy beast. You look at someone misbehaving, and it's less easy to find appreciation. So what you are wanting to do is look for objects of attention to which you can flow an Energy of appreciation. Now, here's the reason that this is sneaky. By choosing an object of attention that causes pure positive Energy to flow through you, guess what happens to the vessel through which the pure positive Energy is flowing? You thrive. When you try to look back at yourself most of you shut down, because you already have negative thoughts about self that are hard for you to overcome. So what we would encourage you to do, for about 30 days, is get your eye off of you and get yourself on a blitz of appreciation. Make a decision that you are going to do as much appreciating in any day as you have physical time and Energy to do.

Abraham-Hicks Workshop

So the big question is, "Well, do I just dump all those unwanted things and try to start fresh?" And we say, no. You just set the Tone, where you are, by looking for things to appreciate. And by setting your Tone in a very clear deliberate way, anything that doesn't match it gravitates out of your experience, and anything that does match it gravitates into your experience. It is so much simpler than most of you are allowing yourself to believe.

Abraham-Hicks, Boston, MA, October 4, 1997

The basis of your life is absolute freedom, the goal is joy, and the result of that perfect combination is motion forward, or growth. Your goal is to find objects of attention that let your cork raise.

Abraham-Hicks, Virginia Beach, VA, April 12, 1997

Are you understanding that appreciation and self-love is the most important tool that you could ever nurture, that the appreciation of others and the appreciation of yourself is the closest vibrational match to your Source energy of anything that we have ever witnessed? When you are appreciating or when you are loving or when you are acknowledging the value of something, you are in that moment a vibrational match to the Source that is truly you.

Do not worry about where you are at any point in time. Don't take score and beat up on yourself. Just make a decision that from right here where I stand I'm going to reach for the thought that feels the very best of anything I have access to, and understand that your Inner Being is adoring you, always….

Abraham-Hicks, wellness, and realization I am an evolving being

2009-02-21T19:21:00.026-05:00

You never intended to create your world through action, you intended to enjoy through action what you had created through thought.

Abraham-Hicks, San Francisco, CA, February 24, 2007

The point of this quote is that we create through our thinking, not through our action -- but when I read it I realized something else -- why resist anything? Everything I see in my life is what I created.

This doesn't seem like it would be an earthshaking realization for someone who is working with deliberately creating reality, but there are still old perspectives to shift -- for example, with my physical body.

Starting in late November I felt I was walking through heavy old energy and emotions. The shadow of this old energy was physical conditions happening one right after another for about three months -- including a few days in the hospital. Each condition was one that I've had more than once in the past.

I've had a desire for wellness since childhood. With any desire, if I don't have any resisting thought then the desire comes to me quickly.

If there are feelings, thoughts, and beliefs that block a desire -- whether from childhood or more recently -- they come up for me to experience and release. If I give those old thoughts power then I experience the results, don't let them go, and it's something I will work on again. If I work on them, the results get less and less intense each time. The illnesses weren't a bad thing at all -- they were "do overs" where I had the chance to let go of old thoughts and beliefs that were resisting my desire for wellness. Each condition was successfully released. I felt like I was taking a final exam for a deliberate creating course!

This time I became more aware that I am an evolving being. I don't have to be perfect -- even as a deliberate creator! I don't create from past thinking, but from present thinking so it will never be the same as it was. Whatever I do to feel better is perfect. I don't have to wrestle my mind and every thought into submission. I can let thoughts flow by in my stream of consciousness -- I don't have to sail them into my harbor and give them a home.

I'm getting more aware that I really am creating right here and now. Everything really is all right and, yes, I never get it done! This is what it is to be a deliberate creator.

There are no permanent, long-standing solutions to problems. There is only the constant reaching for vibrational balance.

Let’s say that you went to the guru of all gurus who zapped you with his magic wand and brought to a place of absolute, in-this-moment perfection, or let’s say you stood before Jesus or Buddha or one of these masters who was connected to source energy, who just blitzed your energy field and brought you to a place of pure, positive connection and in that moment you were well, and if any doctor examined you they would conclude this is a body in perfect wellness we would say to you it is only there in your moment of allowing the energy to flow, and if you go home and talk about what happened before or remember how you were before, your energy shifts immediately and you are less well than you were.

Your wellness or illness, your allowing or resistance is something that’s happening in the moment.

Chief Joseph and John Cali on the spiritual awakening in this time of change

2009-02-05T23:44:00.024-05:00

There is a great deal of beautiful information available to comfort and guide us in these turbulent times. Let's start with Chief Joseph and John Cali who share the positive meaning in the change we are experiencing:

Chief Joseph

Friends, your modern world is obsessed with power. Worldly power, that is. The power you perceive resides in money, governments, churches, armies, etc. Those entities did have power at one time, considerable power. But their "heyday" is done. It’s over with forever.

You are seeing evidence of this all around you. Your stock markets are plunging. Your governments are struggling to regain their old power. Your churches are losing their credibility. The world as you’ve known it seems to be falling apart. But it is not.

This is the beginning of your rebirth into new life, individually, as a planet, and as a race. New beginnings are often scary but always good.

You will see the truth of that in the coming days and months. You will not have to wait long to see further momentous changes in your lives and your world. The political election happening in the United States today is but the barest beginning of a brand new, and grand new, planet. All is well.

So how can you, individually, move into this new era with ease and joy?

It is critically important for you, especially now, to get consciously connected to Spirit. There is going to be chaos in your world the next few years. But you do not have to get sucked into it.

You are not victims. Claim your power. Get connected to Spirit. You will make it through this time of change if you remember who you are, trusting who you are.

You are all part of All That Is. You are all God. And you know, at the deepest level of your being, this time of change and challenge is but another step on your eternal journey of growth.

You know the old regime, the regime of worldly power, is on its deathbed. That’s the reason for the chaos you’re seeing and feeling all around you. But it is not the end. It is a new beginning.

This new beginning will preside over the death of old-world power. And it will officiate at the birth of new-world power.

That new-world power is your rebirth into conscious awareness. Taking responsibility for your lives, for your choices, for the paths you choose to follow. Conscious awareness of who you really are -- that’s what it’s all about.

This new conscious awareness has no need for worldly power. Because it knows it possesses the greatest power in the Universe -- the power of knowing who you are and why you are here. Knowing you are God.

More and more of you are waking up to this new power, and just letting go of the old power. You are helping the world, and all your sisters and brothers, move through this time of great change with more ease, grace, and love.

All is well. Be at peace.
