Abraham-Hicks: Vibration and manifestation

The thoughts that you think will -- wanted or not wanted -- eventually become manifestation if your vibrational accord is sufficient enough... And so, you could say, as you're launching thoughts of appreciation and things that make you feel good, that you're filling your Vibrational Escrow full of all kinds of things that are going to please you when you get there.

Abraham-Hicks, Sacramento, CA, July 27, 2005

This is the Abraham quote for today and when I read it I had an experience: I could feel how some not-so-good-feeling thoughts I have are so familiar - not only from my own childhood, but thoughts my family thought then and now. I work on them, I turn downstream, and yet I could feel how familiar they are. There is much good in this realization though. For one thing I could also feel that they are just thoughts -- familiar or not, they are not me and I didn't feel fear of having them. And I can also feel that I am working on changing them. I don't have to know how the Universe will manifest the change. My work is to just change my thinking until the new desired good-feeling beliefs are the comfortable, familiar ones.

The Abraham quotes for several days now have been about vibration so I'll include those below. I find it fascinating to think that everything is vibrating and by choosing thoughts that have the vibration of our desire -- we allow manifestation.

Whatever you are giving your attention to is already vibrating. And when you give your attention to it, if you maintain your focus for as little as 17 seconds, you begin to include its vibration, whatever it is, in your vibration. 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. In this vibrational world, which is everything, you are far more vibrational beings than you are verbal beings. You are communicating with everyone far more on a vibrational basis, than you are on a verbal basis.

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

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

You are on the leading edge of thought, taking thought beyond that which it has been before. Who cares what thoughts have led up to this. You're standing in the fresh now, and many of the thoughts that you vehemently oppose are the very thoughts that have given you the desire that has attracted the clarity of where you now stand. No matter how awful you think they might be, all were of value in the evolution forward. Every one of them.

Abraham-Hicks, Philadelphia, PA, April 14th, 1998

Within the seed of your desire is everything necessary for it to blossom to fulfillment. And Law of Attraction is the engine that does the work. Your work is just to give it a fertile growing place in order to expand.

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

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

Bashar: Everything we desire is contained in following our excitement

I've loved the work of changing my thinking in a deliberate way, but now I'm looking for something quicker and even easier. I've asked this loving Universe for a more flowing way of co-creation and the answer came in several ways -- one important one was a YouTube video of Bashar, Finding your Highest Excitement.

Bashar is a wise and loving being from our future who has very high, positive energy and speaks with humor about how we manifest. I'm working to change my thinking to thoughts that are flowing with Well-Being in areas like job and health where I interact and co-create with others who have different beliefs. I was delighted to discover Bashar's "how to" guide to creating all that we desire in a very practical, easy way -- following our excitement.

There were several "aha's" for me:

• What is exciting in the moment is connected to the bigger desires we have.
• Following our excitement is the shortest path to manifest what we want.
• Excitement contains everything we need. We don't need to worry about any other considerations.
• Even if the same conditions manifest around us, we will know we have changed because we respond differently. [This is SO helpful because it provides that bridge for any lag time between the old pattern and manifestation of new beliefs. Abraham would call this a sign post on the journey that lets us know we are going in the right direction.]

This is my transcript of key ideas from Bashar's YouTube video, Finding your Highest Excitement. Bashar is answering a guest's question about what to do with all the things she needs to consider to make decisions.

Bashar: [You think you need to consider everything, but you don't.] You see, when you understand what excitement is, you'll realize why you don't have to always look at every single detail in order to know what to do. Now, let's talk about this on two levels primarily.

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.

That's what you want. You want that passion. You want that vibration. You want to understand the excitement. What you translate as that feeling. That love, that passion IS the vibration of your true, natural self in the way you were actually created. That's why it's always the beacon to move toward. You're actually moving toward yourself, and more and more and more of yourself every time you are willing to take a step toward your excitement by acting on the situation that contains the most of it without cluttering it up with other things that actually are not a part of that excitement.

But, if those things come up, you don't deny them. You recognize they're there for a reason and the reason they're there are for you to understand what information they have for you, by processing them, that will tell you more about who you are so that in learning more of who you are you can continue to act more and more and more every day and every moment on more of your excitement.

I guarantee to all of you this is how life works and this is how it will become an ecstatic explosion of excitement and synchronicity the more that you trust it. The more that you live it. You will see that it is so. It will prove itself to you, but you have to take the first step. And remember: It is "believing is seeing." Not seeing is believing.

And the belief does not have to be foundationless. You will understand that what we are talking about here is simply pure physics. What you put out is what you get back. The more you demonstrate in your behavior to the Universe that you're willing to believe that what excites you the most IS what you're all about by your actions, the more the Universe will reflect more of that back to you.

But. Here's the polarized aspect of it. When you start acting on your joy, don't assume with expectation that you MUST see things outside of you change. They can and often will, and often very rapidly. When you change your vibration the outside will often change. However, if it doesn't immediately do so, don't assume you've done something wrong. Don't assume that you are not seeing a representation of your excitement.

Understand. Every single thing in physical reality, every single situation and circumstance serves double duty. They are all neutral props. They have no built in meaning.

So, you know that when you're following your joy you might still see the very same scenario all around you manifesting. The difference that let's you know there's a difference is that you respond differently to it than you did before. Not that IT looks different, it's that you ACT differently toward it than you did before.

That's what lets you know your reality has changed. No matter what it looks like, you're only going to get a positive effect out of it. No matter what anyone else's intention in that scenario may be toward you, the only effect you will get is the meaning you've given it. Even if it looks the same as it did a moment ago.

Abraham-Hicks on the world financial crisis

It's getting better. It's getting better. And it's going to be all right. It's better. It's getting better. And it's going to be all right.

And the sooner you can convince yourself that it is better than you thought it was and that it is getting better than it is right now -- and that it's not only going to be all right, it's going to be REALLY all right -- your prosperity can begin to come to you immediately.

Abraham-Hicks, Philadelphia, PA, 10/7/08 (from the YouTube video below)



Each of us gets to have our own perspective from which we desire or prefer, and Source Energy answers every single one of us. There's no shortage of Source; there's no shortage of answers; there's no shortage of substance. There's no shortage of all of the stuff or non-stuff that any of us wants -- there's no shortage of it. It expands proportionately to our ability to desire it.

Abraham-Hicks, 5/3/04

How do you ever get the truth to be more the way you want it to be? You've just got to start beating the drums of truth the way you want it to be -- and when you do, you will immediately feel good. And there are those who might say, "Oh, you're not facing the fact." And we say, we would never face any fact that was taking us to a place we don't want to be. 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, 7/12/03-B

The Universe can please all of you at the same time. "Well, how can that be? If I want to live in the mountains and she wants to live at the ocean, how could the Universe possibly please us both?" And we say, as each of you gets to the essence of why you want what you want, and are not pointing at the other and saying, "No, no, not that, please not that," the Universe can fulfill both. Be playful. Know that it's going to be alright no matter what. Have as much fun as you can. Be as easy as you can. Don't take anything very seriously, because everything blows over, good and bad. You can't stand still. So nothing lasts very long. The best of experiences you must move beyond -- and the worst of experiences you must move beyond. Don't make where you are too big of a deal. Let it be what it is: It's a moment in time where you have the choice to feel good or feel bad. That's all that it ever is.

Abraham-Hicks, 5/8/01-B

My own turning point

Leaping dolphins by Zest-pk.
My last post was on the Winter Solstice - a turning point in the season. Today I've experienced my own turning point - turning downstream to wellness.

Abraham advises us to focus on feeling good. What I have been working with lately is guidance on feeling good when "what is" is a physical feeling that I feel with every step or when I sit.

What I was wondering today was what to do when I feel it? I could tell I was focusing on and practicing the physical feeling when there was pain. Since it happened when I walked or moved there's no surprise that it was increasing.

When I am comfortable and feel good I can visualize myself moving easily. My question was what to do to feel good in the moment that I had the sensation.

This morning I was thinking: we send out our preferences and desires all the time so when I experience the physical sensation I must be sending out a positive desire. I didn't feel good emotionally though and when I listened to my thoughts I couldn't even pick out the positive desires. There was a jumble of thoughts and feelings about the sensation and my new desire to understand right then.

My Inner Being answered that in the very moment of sensation, I can choose a good feeling thought and send it out. I've been practicing this morning and when I do it, I can sense a beam of warm golden light shining through the middle of the physical sensation.

I was working here at my computer a few minutes ago and I had another thought that is very delicious: In the midst of the physical sensation I can enjoy sending out my desire for well-being!

I'm practicing this new awareness and I can definitely say I feel better emotionally. Whatever thought we choose the Law of Attraction begins collecting more thoughts around it. As we turn to our Inner Being, it becomes easier to hear those loving thoughts. With the choice to send out a positive desire I feel uplifted. I feel hope. I have had so many experiences of this Loving Universe answering me and I know it does now. I love being in control of my thoughts and my experience. I feel excited!

So excitement serves as a "compass" - to let you know when you're "on course" - when you are doing or contemplating doing exactly what your Higher Self would just love to have you be doing.

Bashar - Follow your excitement! Finding your Purpose in Life

As you begin telling the story differently, it is our promise to you that the Universe will back your story up with evidence.

Abraham-Hicks, Los Angeles, CA, February 3, 2008

Your Inner Being is always right there with you and your Inner Being is rooting for you and encouraging you.

And sometimes we think it’s strange that you do not hear more often, these encouraging words.

And if you have discouraging words playing in your mind, more than you do encouraging words, these are words that you've picked up along your physical trail that you've begun to practice. And you've made them your more dominant words.

But we really want you to start listening for those encouraging words because your Inner Being is always offering them....

Your Inner Being loves you so very much and wants you to feel that love for yourself, you see.

Abraham-Hicks, San Diego, CA, 2004

Winter Solstice

Blessings to you on the Winter Solstice. This is a turning point for Mother Earth when the day is at it's shortest and the night the longest. Here in the northern hemisphere the earth lies snug under it's blanket of cold. Tomorrow the light is on its journey of return and each day will be longer as we travel to spring -- but for now, we are snug and warm as the cold winds blow.

The YouTube video below, Winter Solstice, is a lovely gift from Joanna Colbert Powell and her husband Craig Olson presented in the journal on her web site, Gaian Tarot.

Abraham-Hicks and long-held desires

I read some Abraham this morning before I got up and then was laying all warm and cozy in bed thinking. I was musing lazily about what made me happy and realized I feel happy when I feel like I can have what I want. I feel unhappy when I think I can't have what I want.

Is it really that simple for me? I think it is.

When I read Abraham this morning this stood out:

...Many people on their way to wellness get half-way there, and get discouraged because there is not manifestation, and turn around and head back toward illness. Many people on their way from financial disaster get nearly to where they want to be, where the manifestation is nearly about to show up, but because they take score about the manifestation, they get discouraged and turn around and go back to not enough money.

...you have been launching preferences...and Law of Attraction is lining up around them. And your future experience is being made for you before you approach it -- that's why 99% of creation is complete before you begin to see the physical evidence of it.

So, most of what you're doing is the Emotional Journey....

Abraham-Hicks, July-Aug-Sept 2005 Quarterly Journal, "An Emotional Journey from Fear to Hope."

There are beliefs and their manifestations that I've had since childhood that I want to change. This is the answer for me for those times when it seems that I've been asking for a long time -- that part where Abraham says we get almost there and then turn around. I turned around when I looked at what-is and thought I couldn't have what I wanted.

I wonder if that part of the journey just before manifestation is a birth like our physical birth? If we have a long-held desire or one that is really important to us perhaps we sense that our life will change in a big way and there is unconscious resistance that causes us to choose to turn around and go back so that we can practice aligning some more.

This morning was a reminder for me that the end of the journey -- the part just before manifestation -- is still just part of the path. I don't have to turn back. I can make an oasis. I can be creative. I can contemplate. I can enjoy the feeling that what I desire is close and coming to me. I can choose to believe that I can have what I want.

Source Energy is intimately, infinitely, always responding to your requests, no matter how great or small they may be deemed by you or anyone else who is observing them. There is nothing so big that Source Energy can't get its thoughts around it-- and there is nothing so small that Source Energy isn't willing to get its thoughts around it.

Abraham-Hicks, Los Angeles, CA, August 4th, 2001

Above all I can ask this loving Universe for whatever I need at that time to align --comfort, guidance, signs, good feeling thoughts. I can enjoy every part of the journey.

Reid Stowe's voyage of allowing well-being

I love the sea, but only have one experience with sailing, just one short journey across the Ruddy Inlet in Virginia Beach in the 1980's. I thought it would be fun to learn to sail and rented a little one-man boat. They showed me how to turn the rudder and hold the rope for the sail and sent me out across a small inlet crowded with boaters. I quickly decided this was the wrong time to give it a try and cut a wide swath through yelling sailors on motor boats and sailboats as I headed back to the safety of the pier.

I was immediately hooked when I found 1000 Days at Sea, Reid Stowe's 1000 day journey non-stop on his schooner Anne. He began the journey with his first mate Soanya Ahmad who disembarked before the halfway mark for the birth of their son. They both posted about the spiritual journey at sea as well as the physical one, and as Reid sailed on alone, his spiritual journey has taken on new depth.

There are many things about their voyage that capture my imagination, but I think most of all I am drawn to the simplicity of their lifestyle. Reid is incredibly busy with repairs and maintenance, but this voyage is very much a spiritual practice for him and he goes deeper and deeper into mindfulness as he sails.

As Reid attempts to explain his inner experience it is clear that more and more he lets go of restrictions and resistance. Sometimes it's difficult for me to relate to him, often I am moved and inspired. Using the concepts of Abraham-Hicks, what I thought of when I read his latest post is that he is in a very powerful place of being and allowing. Thank you for taking this journey, Reid, and for sharing it with me.

Here's Reid and then Abraham:

Day 596 - December 8, 2008

Wind SSW, 5 knots, Drifting, Position 26*59s by 116*05w

Annihilating East and West

As I live here on the sea I let my mind go free. I try not to live in my intellectual rational mind so I can experience awe and wonder without judgment. In this way I see the ocean again and again as if it were the first time; a million sparkles in patterns of waves weaving liquid fabric through eternity. Even on my spiritual quests I have always had the tendency to look at the compass and orient myself with the cardinal directions, my planetary guides and the far away land masses. Now I have had the opportunity to abolish all direction and annihilate the rule of east and west. I cover my compass and reside in my heart. When I climb out of my hatch I let the sun and the sea be as they will be. I resist minimizing them by calculating and I expand gratefully accepting out in all directions. There are some clouds. The sun is up there somewhere often shining warmly through. The waves come from every direction and merge together and this tells me nothing of what direction I am looking and drifting. Like this I go about my daily work, which becomes my art, my meditation, my love of life, my love of God. The search for the meaning of life just becomes living. This is my art, how I add love to the world and how I learn and grow. My desire to be disoriented helps me be flexible and learn new things. In the revealed chaos I quietly dwell centered and I stop trying to control what is around me. Then I enter the awesome realm of the divine. I know I am far enough out to sea for the wind, waves and universe to take me where they will.just for awhile. Then I will look to see where I am and set a course again and resume my migration around the world.

Reid Stowe

The only thing that makes the difference in the way you feel right now is the thought that you are thinking right now. It doesn't matter how much money you've got; there are joyful people with no money, and there are unhappy people with lots of money. How you feel is about how you are allowing the Source that is You to flow. So when we talk about the Art of Allowing, we're talking about the art of living; about the art of thriving; about the art of clarity. We're talking about the art of being who you really are.

Abraham-Hicks, 7/20/02
