Connee's Notes on the Abraham
Workshop, October 18, 2003, Greenbelt, MD
-
Each fulfillment of each
new desire means a new platform to want from. There will ALWAYS be
unfulfilled desire. Get into the spirit of that!
-
Then you won’t feel
frustration of unfulfilled desires, you will feel the life giving quality of
being eagerly unfinished and incomplete! Learn to be satisfied in your
incompletion, happy where you stand and delighted about where you are
going. Always be happy there is more to come.
-
You are Source energy
focused here. You have an emotional guidance system that lets you know your
alignment with who you really are in each moment.
-
Your emotions are your
indicators. You don’t get angry at your gas gauge because it shows your car
is almost empty. You don’t take a hammer to it. You appreciate the
indicator to tell you that you need to do something about it soon.
-
It’s harder to do
something about it when your tank is totally empty and you run out of gas.
Then you have to call Triple A, AAA. That’s Abraham, Abraham, Abraham!!!
-
It’s easier to bring
yourself back into alignment if you take action sooner rather than later.
-
When you are in despair,
you do not have access to a bright thought. No one can guide you from the
outside. Your guidance is on the inside.
-
Law of attraction can
only bring you the thoughts in the range of where you are feeling. You
can’t go from depression to ecstasy in one step usually or easily. You
can’t receive what is being broadcast on a different station than the one
you are tuned into.
-
Depression is
disempowering, you are disallowing the fullness of who you really are. The
opposite of depressed is free to be you!
-
Betrayal and grief make
you feel powerless. You are not powerless! But in that feeling, which is a
response to the vibration of a thought, you can’t get to happy from there.
You need to reach for improvement one step at a time.
-
From depression, find an
angry thought. Get angry at the dead one, or someone who didn’t help the
dead one enough. Rage feels refreshing after depression, or compared to
suffocating grief.
-
When you go to anger, you
feel you can breath again, but if others disapprove of your anger, you go
back to disempowerment.
-
Say to yourself, “I may
not be bright and fluffy, but I do feel better than I felt before.” In that
moment, you reclaim your power. You can go anywhere from there up the
vibrational scale.
-
At the root of all your
problems is the fear that you cannot feel the way you want to feel.
Suffocating negative emotion is scary. Next time, just reach for the best
feeling you have access to in the moment.
-
“follow your bliss” as
advice does not work when you are in the depth of despair.
-
Reach for anger, and feel
relief. Then you have access to thoughts of aggravation. Reach for
aggravation, and feel relief. Then you have access to thoughts of
frustration. Reach for frustration, and feel relief. Then you have access
to thoughts of overwhelment. Reach for overwhelment, and feel relief. Then
you have access to thoughts of pessimism. Reach for pessimism, and feel
relief. Then you have access to thoughts of hopeful pessimism. Reach for
hopeful pessimism, and feel relief. Then you have access to thoughts of
optimistic pessimism. Reach for optimistic pessimism, and feel relief.
Then you have access to thoughts of belief. Reach for belief, and feel
relief. Then you have access to thoughts of absolute belief. Reach for
absolute belief, and feel relief. Then you have access to thoughts of
knowing.
-
You can start where ever
you are. You don’t want to move back down the scale, but reach to
continually move just a little bit up the scale. Put things in
perspective. If you start in frustration, don’t go down to rage. But if
you start in despair, rage is a step up.
-
Jerry and Esther used to
drive often from Phoenix to San Diego. Yuma, Arizona is half way. Make
sure you keep going when you get to Yuma!!!
-
You tend to beat up on
yourselves when you get angry, and the people around you would much prefer
you to be depressed, so they will encourage you to go back down and be
quiet. They use guilt to disempowers your anger. But blame and anger
represent empowerment compared to guilt and shame. It really doesn’t matter
where you are when you jump on the scale. Just try to make the best of
where you are and go up.
-
Even Esther is sometimes
inclined to make the worst of some things. Few are tapped consistently into
joy. Something “bad” happens, like the death of a loved one or the loss of
a job, and when you observe it, you feel strong negative emotion. You know
that’s not where you are supposed to be. Explaining how you got there feels
important to you. Yet every moment you spend justifying how you got where
you stand is moving to the wrong place on the scale.
-
In every moment you have
a set point on any subject. At any one moment, there is always a step up
where you want to be heading. When you are feeling frustration, you are
wanting ecstasy.
-
Make your new mantra,
“I’m going to make the best of it! I’m going to make the best of it! I’m
going to make the best of it! I’m going to make the best of it!”
-
In all your thoughts,
words and emails, you are activating your vibration, deliberately make the
best of it. Relief is the operative word.
-
You find relief in anger
because it is a step up from depression. Just keep reaching for a step up,
all the way up the scale. All you have to do is make the best of it each
time.
-
Do you know how quickly
you can move from where you are to where you want to be? You’ve find you
have more rendezvous with fabulous people. As you pay attention to the
vibrational meter. You will be empowered to go wherever you want to go.
-
The thing most likely to
trip you up is that you get unhappy with your range of emotion. Just
appreciate that your gas gauge is sometimes on empty and feel around for
what to do about it!
-
Regain a sense of control
about where you are. As you know where you are and where you want to go,
and prove you can choose thoughts that move you up the scale, your motion
forward will be so much quicker.
-
There are people who move
back and forth between self-judgment and anger endlessly. Give yourself
permission to temporarily enjoy an angry thought. Anger is a gateway to
frustration on the way to joy.
-
It’s not possible to be
stuck because energy is always in motion. Things are always changing. But
they don’t always look that way because sometimes they are just changing
again and again to the same thing!
-
This might not be the
best thought you’ve ever thought, or the best anyone has ever had, but if it
is the best you have access to in the moment, it’s the best thought for
right now.
-
When you decide you will
move up, there is no place you cannot go. Your fulfillment is just a few
decisions away. As you start to practice this, you will notice much more
powerfully when you start to make the worst of something, rather than the
best of it.
-
Jerry & Esther had
brought their monster bus in for repair, and things were going from bad to
worse. Esther went from hopeful, not really believing, quickly into
frustration, anger and then rage. She begged, “please get your best people
on this!” but the people who were on it were moving in SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
motion. Her attitude became, “do the top priority things first, since there
isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that you are going to get it all done.”
So the man began to work on the water pump that had been banging and waking
them up, and soon it was quiet – it didn’t work AT ALL!
-
Jerry was equally
frustrated, but he was quieter about it than Esther. She tried to elicit
Jerry’s agreement in her bad mood, “I feel this way in response to
conditions that I cannot control – it’s justified. It’s not my fault!!!”
-
Your range of emotions is
just your range of emotions. Esther can feel very, very bad about a water
pump.
-
Full freedom is the
ability to control how I feel. Once you reach for a thought that feels
better, you can move quickly from deep frustration to humor. _________- part
1 to here.
-
Q: What has the greatest
effect on the outcome of a horse race? Abe: You, the Universe, the horse
and the jockey – everyone has a part in the cumulative vibration. Every
time you have an experience of losing, rockets of desire go forth that you
want to win, to choose better in future horse races. Follow your
inspiration, your hunches or impulses. The less you second guess others the
better.
-
You’d be amazed at how
much is happening at incredibly synchronized levels in every moment. Jerry
and Esther see it as numbers lining up. For example, when he was recording
the third Sara book, when he got to 333 in the book, they were passing mile
marker 333. There is so much that goes into the inspiration of when to
start and stop. What looks like coincidence is actually cooperative
incidence! Ultimately the new Sara book’s file on Esther’s computer came in
at 222 minutes 22.22 seconds!
-
The Universe goes to
something that is not any trouble at all to give you everything you ever
wanted.
-
Just say, “here I am and
I want to win! I love this day!” Look for relief in the feeling, focus on
your love of gambling. View it as a lark, not a heavy vibration.
-
People who are
consistently dong things have to work harder for a clear vibration. When
you are new, the vibration of clear is easier. Treat it as fun, not life
and death. Take it step by step. Say, “I’m lucky at most things. Things
just go well for me. My hunches are inspired.” Let your gut lead you to
the path of least resistance.
-
Abe: Is life a gamble?
No, Life is a sure thing! Wealth is an absolute. Say to yourself, “I get
everything I want!” You should, you know!
-
You could have one
Abraham recording, and it would be all you ever need because all the answers
are there. There is only One answer…
-
The words don’t matter,
it’s the vibration of the words that matter.
-
Guest: I’m trying to
rebuild my home which was lost in a fire. I started hopeful, eventually I’m
down to suicide, just trying to decide what method and if I should take some
of them with me! Abraham: As many as possible… it will be a blessing to
the whole community!!! [lots of laughter]
-
Don’t feel bad about
where you are. Acknowledge that this is simply where you are starting.
Move forward incrementally. At this stage in the game, it will pop quickly
for you. It doesn’t matter where you are now, just start here. Guest: I
feel desperation, powerless and out of control. Abraham: You have a
crevasse established by strong desire and keen awareness of where you are
compared to it. Guest: I need a place for my family… Abe: That’s making
it worse. You are beating the drum of not wellbeing, asking for sympathy.
Just keep rambling…
-
Abe: Anger feels better
than loss of power and despair. Only you will know which thought really
feels better. Say to yourself: I’m stronger in anger. I’m proud to be
choosing a thought that feels a little better. Take your power back. Say:
“I choose to feel anger. It’s my new set point.” Don’t allow yourself to
slide back into self-criticism. Stabilize there. Try to find the place of
the next movement.
-
Abe: It’s no wonder you
are angry! Do you think there is a deliberate conspiracy to make your life
misearable, or are they just inefficient? Good, you see it is not personal,
they aren’t picking specifically on you. That’s a higher vibration.
-
Guest: They are
inefficient and overpaid – they forget they are public servants and I’m
paying their salary! Abe: that’s a step in the wrong direction. What’s
your strongest feeling now? Guest: rage. Abe: so you are up a step from
despair. Can you feel how far rage is from where you need to be to get what
you want? Although you are absolutely justified in your feeling of rage,
you’ve momentarily forgotten that allowing is the path. This is about your
vibrational stance, not bricks and mortar. We’re trying to help you feel
vibrational relief. You think you need to solve the problem, but really you
just need vibrational relief. When your energy moves, people of power and
authority will show up and solve things. But right now, they can’t get to
you.
-
Let’s move up and talk
some more, reaching for thoughts that feel better. Guest makes a couple of
comments. Abe: It’s a drum you are beating here (making a gesture that
implies lower frequency) but you want to be over here (making a gesture that
implies higher frequency.)
-
Guest: Well, every delay
has ended up creating a house that is closer to what I really want… Abe:
You are a bit off the subject of getting permits, but it did make you feel
better.
-
Guest: The house is
absolutely beautiful and almost complete, we have had wonderful
subcontractors, I know it is safe…
-
Abe: Try to find
thoughts that move up more gently. You are not used to feeling your way
up. You are used to taking big jumps you are not really able to get to, or
to having someone else rescue you. Try this: We’re doing all right, not
experiencing any real hardship. I don’t have to revamp all their systems,
that’s not my job. You think your job is to go from not having permits to
having permits. Your goal is paper signing. Our goal is just to take you
from rage to joy.
-
As long as you have
decided they have done you wrong, someone who can help cannot get to you.
Don’t look at what anyone else is doing, look at what you are doing. Until
you break loose vibrationally, it cannot break loose in other places. You
have to change the way you feel about the subject before anything is going
to move.
-
In talking, you just
moved up to resentment after anger. Feel proud in this moment and justified
in your resentment. Then say, “but it isn’t really serving me!” And keep
talking. “I’ll bet there are a lot of people who’ve been here where I am
who are now in their dwellings. It’s not the end of the world, these delays
have given us a better hourse. I like to know I am creative and powerful!”
_________- part 2 to here
-
Are you as selfish as
your cat? Your cat is not offering behavior to win your approval. Your cat
behaves one way with you, differently with others. We want to say, only you
know how you feel. Guidance from the outside is not appropriate. The cat
is following its own impulse as to how it feels about these other
relationships. It is responding to different circumstances in different
ways and that is appropriate. Take your cues from your cat. Don’t modify
your behavior based on someone else’s opinion. Honor your cat’s knowing.
Don’t force it into uncomfortable situation.
-
Anytime you are working
with a friend in need, take little steps. If you try to make them make too
big a jump, they’ll jump backward instead.
-
Cat’s don’t try to please
like dogs and horses do. They are not so easily suckered. You don’t know
the best choice for the cat. Trust your cat’s inner resources. Let the cat
teach you to follow your own inner resources.
-
Abe: It may just be that
someone in the house smells like a horse! Guest: We are moving to a raw
food diet and we hope this cat can be in alignment. Abe: Our only hope for
this cat is that she can run away. You say, “I rescued her!” It says, “She
captured me!” The cat would like none of the attention she is getting from
your roommates, she likes total freedom!
-
Birds make free,
wonderful messengers. The lady saw an owl. It came as a symbol of
alignment. As you acknowledge your awareness of alignment, more symbols can
come. Our beasts would like us to be free and stop making so much of all of
this. They don’t fear death.
-
Geese have intuitive
knowing that guides their migrations. Birds, flying in synchrony in flocks
are flying from the One Mind vantage point. They are not individuals trying
to get along with each other as they fly.
-
You tend to go where you
are looking!
-
Astrology works because
the process causes the astrologer to focus and ask a question that can then
be answered. They sense and read energy.
-
When you put a deadline
date on a project, and you believe it is do-able, it causes you to goose up
your decision to have it. But if you put a date on something and don’t
believe it is possible, it causes your energy to contract.
-
Learn to be guided from
the inside, rather than asking other people for guidance.
-
It can be helpful to
separate your life’s work from money for a time, if you are optimistic and
hopeful about your life work but discouraged about money. If you bring them
together too soon, it can mess up the net average of the energy. Make some
movement on each without contamination by the other. As you move in
incremental steps on each, each will work out and you will up your over all
average of vibration. Stay focused on what is working.
-
Ask yourself, “am I
making the best of this or the worst of it?” Are you justifying something
you don’t want to maintain in your life?
-
As you find a high fast
thought and ride it, the Universe yields rapidly. It takes on a life of its
own. Her business took over her life, and she got more and more out of
balance as she lost sight of the way she felt. New desires were born, time
with friends, walks with grandchildren. Follow the joy factor. Pay
attention to the way you feel. Stop and talk about the way you feel. What
emotion best describes what you are feeling right now.? I feel good or I
feel bad. I feel fulfilled or I feel unfulfilled. I feel on top of life, I
feel like I am reaching for alignment. I feel in control, I feel like I’m
reaching for control. I feel content and reaching for more, Not content and
reaching for more.
-
How you feel NOW really
counts! Now is the set point.
-
The Magellan navigation
system in Jerry & Esther’s monster bus never says, “Where have you been?”
Magellan is single minded. It just says, “here is where you are and here is
where you want to go!”
-
You can always move from
where you are now to where you want to be.
-
What’s the set point for
you, the place where you settle into when you are not focused specifically?
Anger feels better than anxiety. Fear is disempowering.
-
How an emotion feels when
you talk about it is just a reflection of your attachment to the word.
Empowerment is who you are. Loss of freedom and power always feels bad.
-
The story you are telling
is descriptive, but it doesn’t serve you well. Your goal is always to move
you into a place where you feel better. You have the ability to have
anything you desire to live.
-
It’s an advantage not to
do something you don’t want to do. Most of you feel that only a special few
have more money than they have any sensible use for. You are sort of
resigned to the idea that you have to work at something you don’t like.
-
Reach for a thought that
feels better. “I feel dissatisfied that …” Abe: wrong way. Now you can
choose. No matter where you find yourself, once you show yourself you can
move up the feeling scale, you won’t fear anything anymore. The fear that
the other shoe is going to drop goes away once you get conscious control
over your emotions by choosing thoughts that feel better.
-
Soothe the
dissatisfaction. “There are some similarities between the job I am doing
and my life’s work. There is no difference between that and selling bath
towels, (or back hoes) really. In fact, I am feeling some excitement and
resolution here. I’ve made a good choice. I’m appreciative for the
freedom I feel in my job. I can set up…”
-
A different state of
being is only one choice of a thought away.
-
Guest: I hear voices… is
that other people talking to me with their minds? Abe: You are
interpreting vibrations into sentences and words. The question is ‘whose
voices?’
-
Set a new standard for
listening. Since everything is vibrational, you get to choose what you
receive. Esther tunes humorously into the vibration of sitcom writers. She
can predict the punchlines. It’s the same ability she uses in interpreting
for Abraham. The difference is the place she is tuned into. You can read
anything once you know how to read. But you don’t want to read everything!
You want to be selective. Set your vibrational tone on purpose. You can
hear angels, or you can hear the thoughtform of your mother!
-
Esther heard, “I’m
dead!” Jerry said, “We just passed a graveyard.!” Esther was feeling
playful, so she had access to playful vibrations in nonphysical. Our
question back to you is, “is the voice usually optimistic and joyful or
giving warnings?” That which is posistive may be coming forth from
nonphysical or physical. If it is focused and positive, it doesn’t matter
which. You don’t have to know the location of a radio station to decide if
you want to hear it or not. Just see if you like what you are hearing! If
it feels good, let it play on. If it doesn’t, tune in someplace else.
-
The psychiatrists have
judgment about people hearing voices. They would have a field day with
Esther! They’d give her all kinds of dire diagnoses. The levels of energy
moving through her are very high. They’d call her delusional, and try to
medicate her out of it. They don’t know!!!
-
To ask someone who cannot
understand to evaluate this is like asking a blind man if your tie
matches. _________- part 3 to here
-
Her toy poodle broke his
leg and the questioner asked if it came out of her fear that another dog
would hurt him, or from his desire for attention? Abe: We’d assign it to
you not him! Others cannot step on your creative toes, but if you bring a
small beast into a herd of large beasts, trouble may happen. Now he will
use his own resources, he is wiser from this contrasting experience. Don’t
feel bad about co-creations that don’t go well. Guest : He rules the roost
now!
-
Everything that happens
comes from your vibrational offering. The dog has made a decision now not
to get trampled again.
-
Esther’s Party Cat was
fun, when you petted him, he petted you back. He was good at catching
birds. Jerry put the bird bath up on a pedestle to give them a fighting
chance. One day, Party Cat leaped after a bird and Esther flew through the
air after him and took the bird from him. She felt responsible for the bird
bath and the porch cat. The bird was fine, she thought she heard it say
thank you. She released the bird. Party Cat caught him again and ate him
right in front of her! Esther decided she was no longer going to intervene
between Party Cat and his lunch. Since it was no longer part of Esther’s
creation, she never saw PC eat one again! It’s not up to you what anyone
else creates. If you pay attention to it, though, it will be in co-creation
with you.
-
Shift the point of
attraction for you, and leave everyone else alone!
-
When your animals
re-emerge, they often come forth to play again with you in other animals.
They are aspects of Source energy that comes both as humans as beloved
pets. We are all One, continuing to evolve. Pets you adore can have the
same energy, returning to you again and again. Don’t try to control it.
Just appreciate it and be in as much vibrational harmony as you can and you
will attract all kinds of wonderful things.
-
Your point of power is in
the NOW. Ask: Now what am I doing about moving up the vibrational ladder.
-
Everyone is part of your
family of consciousness. It’s just that the intent you all hold in any
moment is different. Your core is the same high, pure, fast vibration.
-
Guest: How can I choose
to feel good when my friends and family live under a totalitarian
government? Abraham: You are asking, “how can I focus on the opposite of
what I want and feel good?” You can’t! Deliberate creating is knowing you
can choose to give your attention to things that feel better.
-
Esther would wake up and
say, “My father is dead. I never wanted to experience it, I don’t want to
now.” And she would feel grief, feeling the absence of her father. It was
the unrealized dream she had – he never learned more of what she knows – and
it felt so terrible she could hardly breathe. She can’t change it. She had
to look at it in different ways until she found one she could revel in. You
must find a way to focus AND allow your connection to Source anyway.
Massage it, work with it.
-
Jerry and Esther had a
chicken Caesar salad for lunch that did not taste good to them. There are
people all over the world who would have been grateful and satisfied with
that food. When you really want something and know what it is, you won’t
stand for less. When you know freedom as you do, you won’t stand for less.
However, you are very free. There are a lot of other people not living in
freedom who are not in the pain you would be in if you were not free. You
are feeling worse about it than they are because your vibrational stance is
so different. They aren’t looking at it as keenly as you may be.
-
How can I feel good
when…? You just gotta keep reaching for thoughts that give you release.
What right do I have to feel good when those I love feel bad? You have to
improve your vibrational stance. Does the Universe have a plan? Collective
consciousness keeps setting forth new objectives – new rockets of desire
about what all the contrast is about.
-
Iraq has diminished day
to day life now. They were not free, and they were vibrating fear, worry
about food and bombs. They have ongoing rockets of desire that Source is
now answering. Their desires will cause a difference for all the people of
the world. Whether they will allow it remains to be seen. Anyone can
soothe themselves and make the best of it. Answers always come in response
to asking. The people are asking, so the Universe is answering. How long
it takes to allow wellbeing depends on allowing.
-
In the US, the standard
of life is increased wellbeing because the majority expects it. The
Universe allows people and countries to choose their own focus. If the
majority of people in a country felt free, the country would have to get
freedom.
-
Things move solely. In
the US, a small band of people originally came here expecting greater
freedom. They had adventure and struggle, but they felt free. As they
began to thrive, the home country tried to clamp down, but they couldn’t
stand less freedom. But billions of people cannot up and move so easily.
However, they can move vibrationally and individually, as you did. In
thinking of them, you launch a rocket of desire from afar. As you live
freedom and feel good, you help them. If you instead focus on their pain,
you do not help them.
-
Abraham invited her to
cultivate some anger. She tried babies killed, and that took her down
rather than up. Then she tried ‘beaureacrats have billions in foreign
banks’ and yet students can’t afford college and Abraham said that was
better. There is release in anger, reclaiming power. Then, allow yourself
to get tired of anger and reach again. “Family members care about each
other and help each other since they get no help from the government.” That
was a thought that felt better.
-
Abraham: Are their any
redeeming qualities in the government? Guest: They are opening to the
world because they have to, things are getting a little better. Abraham:
You got out… Guest: I came as a graduate student and stayed here. Some
can get out. But brainwashing makes the status quo feel all right. They
shouldn’t brainwash people…! Abraham: Don’t you want to give the people
some responsibility for their own experience? Guest: Maybe I should focus
on what I can control? Abraham: YES! Say, “I can control what I look at
and how I feel!!!!” That’s the ultimate freedom.
-
There isn’t anything you
want that isn’t because you think it will make you feel good. And there
isn’t anything that you fear that isn’t because you think it will make you
feel bad.
-
Abraham: How you feel is
how you feel. We don’t have a right to criticize where you are. Where you
are is fine, and you can always feel better. Guest: I have an empty nest
and my baby is going to college… Abraham: Hardly a baby!!! You are
beating a drum that is not serving you. It’s unnecessary and not useful.
There is actually lots of stuff in your nest that you do not enjoy dusting!
-
You have chosen to do
things and judge your value by what is reflected back to you by others. Now
they are gone, and you must reclaim your own connection to Source energy.
It is easy, you are not far from how you want to feel. Try out some words…
unuseful, unnecessary, unfulfilled, permanently? No, temporarily
undirected! Yes. Undirected feels best. Unfocused feels better than
unnecessary. It moves you forward toward fulfillment. Say something like,
“since my three have gone off, I am a little unfocused. I’m getting ready
to make decisions. My children will always enhance my experience. I know I
will be ok. When I focus on the idea of feeling fine, I feel fine. When I
focus on things that feel bad, I feel bad.
-
Sometimes Esther misses 3
and 10 year old Tracey. But she has 30 year old Tracey (and her
grandchildren!) Relationships are continually evolving. You can elicit any
feeling you choose by your choice of focus.
-
Say to yourself: I have
a choice about how I feel. I’m going to be more deliberate about the
thoughts I choose. I can think about the people my children will meet as
they branch out in the world, the children they will have. There is much
potential future joy in my relationships with my children. I can think of
that, or my empty nest. Which thought feels better?
-
Fear is feeling that you
have no control over feeling bad. You tend to say, “if things were
different, I’d feel better” and try to manipulate the situation. But the
world is not here to give you anything you want to make you feel better.
The world CAN give you anything you want as soon as you vibrate there. Feel
the difference?
-
You want your children to
thrive and live in joy, but YOU will be in constant unhappiness if your joy
depends on what they do. Some parents would LIKE to boot those kids out of
their nest.
-
You are wanting to show
yourself you can choose thoughts that feel good no matter what. It’s not
life or death what you choose to focus on. You can always choose again
later.
-
Terminally ill people are
often the only ones who are willing to do the work of changing their
thoughts. They are motivated by desperation.
-
Do you enjoy suffering
over the conjured absence of your children? Do you think you will ever feel
good beating the drum of their absence?
-
Does the success of your
children make you feel left behind? Guest: My daughter’s success amplifies
my feeling of empty me. Abraham: So you feel unfulfilled, undecided and
unfocused. You have used your children as your point of focus up to now.
But now you have decided that you want other points of focus – you do not
want to live vicariously through them. Ask yourself, “Now what?” Say: “I
want my own joy.” You have been saying, “I trained myself to find it in
others.” Let go of saying those things. Stop using that terminology.
Say: “I want to figure out where to go now I have more freedom. I am on
the brink of my new life. I want to find new interests. I like this new
chapter of my life.
-
Abe: Did you
deliberately plan each pregnancy? Guest: No. Abe: You had to make your
own way, adjust as you went along. Sometimes you were shouting, “My nest is
too full!” This is just another chapter. You will make adjustements in.
Say to yourself: “I’ll figure something out. I’ll take pleasure from my
children still.” You can’t figure it out all at once. Not very much
changes that fast. You’ll do just fine.
-
Guest: I want to learn
to channel energy properly, with control. I get excited and start thinking
about what I want to do and I feel my heart is going to burst out of my
chest! Abe: You are drumming up energy disproportionate to your ability to
allow it. It’s like an aircraft cruising through the air vs running across
the ground at 500 miles per hour. The energy is moving too fast for the
conditions in your resistance. You are summoning more energy and your habit
of thought isn’t up to speed with it yet. So it feels like you are hitting
trees. Don’t slow your speed. Get rid of the trees!
-
All hell breaks loose
when people start Abraham work because they try to move everything at once.
You have already launched rockets of desire. Just a little release and
things will start moving more gently. You will do well to say, 1000 times
per day: “Is what I am doing now making the best of it or the worst of it?”
-
Guest: When the energy
is flowing too much, I feel like I want to put a dam on it. Abraham: You
don’t really want to drive more slowly, you want to drive where there are
less trees! There is no limit to how fast you can go. Search for relief as
often as you can. Relief is moving toward allowing. Don’t reach for joy,
reach for relief.
-
Young Guest: sometimes
it feels like my parents’ and other people’s expectations of me are so
heavy, I cannot get in touch with my own guidance. Abraham: You can’t get
in touch with your own guidance for fear someone who has been holding you
hostage will be upset. The Universe never misunderstands you. You are
casting your votes vibrationally. It is only about the way you feel. Those
others don’t get to choose and they cannot vibrate for you.
-
Say to yourself: I’m
going to feel my way through this. I have the ability to find my own way.
When you have aspirations you don’t yet belief, it feels like you are afraid
to fall off a cliff if you try to fly. We say to you, “we know you want to
fly. We know you are capable of flying, but you don’t know it yet.” You
say: “I feel unsure, afraid I might make wrong choices.” You don’t trust
yourself.
-
Here’s some relief that
will make you fly. “I don’t want everyone else to make my choices for me.
The Universe knows what I want. No one else can guide me like that – they
don’t know. I know I don’t want to feel like them. I get to figure it out
as I go by trial and error. It all adds up, I’ll be okay! I feel I’ve
moved effectively in my path so far. I’m right where I want to be now.”
-
Really, you know, people
aren’t all that interested in you. They are more interested in their own
lives. They don’t care as much as you think! Give yourself a break. You
don’t have to figure it all out at once. Just look at right now and what’s
coming next. You are where you are and that’s just fine.
-
You don’t have to justify
where you are – the Ya-Buts. That’s normal, but it keeps holding you where
you are. Keep reaching for thoughts that feel good. Say, “I’m good at
choosing. I can choose again and again and again!” Develop a new feeling
of determination. “I’m determined I’m going to have fun! I’m believing I
can make the right choices. I feel more like I’m flying!”
-
Once you have been doing
this more consistently, you will easily catch yourself when you are beating
the drum of making things worse. Imagine! You are 22 year old and already
fine tuning deliberate creation!!!
