Abraham-Hicks: The secret behind the secret

It's a wonderful thing that so much information about the Law of Attraction (LOA) is coming into general awareness through The Secret. I first attracted information about reality creation and LOA in the 70's when I lived in Virginia Beach, Seth's concepts, but it wasn't workable for me. The Abraham-Hicks information came to me about three years ago and their information about the spiritual connection in creating our reality and how our emotions guide us was just what I was looking for. I dove right into it and my life has changed totally -- it's worked wonderfully well for me. I love you, Abe!

I've known spiritual people who worked together and one might like Abraham and the other prefer some other source. The minute I read an Abe quote and looked at their web site I knew it was for me. And at an Abe workshop I sat next to a woman who said she knew when she heard a two minute segment of an Abe workshop.

Abraham says they have come in answer to those who are asking for their information. They are Law of Attraction in action so if their information feels right, you know it. If not Abraham, then there are many sources of information about how we create reality and the Law of Attraction. Everyone is attracting what they need at the perfect time.

I received a postcard about some new books and DVDs Abraham has about The Secret and the Law of Attraction and just wanted to post their words:

To call the Law of Attraction a secret is comparable to calling gravity a secret, as if you could keep its obvious results from being noticed. The secret they continue to hide, because of their fear of the response from the general public, is that nonphysical voices have once again, in your time, revealed with precise detail, your reason for being, your relationship with all that is--and the power of your own connection with Source.

By editing out the heart and basis of this message, they have omitted any means of your understanding the affect of the Law of Attraction in your life. Without an understanding of the relationship between you and the Source within you, you are without guidance. And so, the world that surrounds you often seems secretive and ridden with problems beyond your control.

I think other cultures have known and used the Law of Attraction long long ago. Maybe in the past we are aware of and perhaps farther back in the reaches of time. And, while not calling it by that name, writings for hundreds of years have used wording that we create according to the way we think. It's in the Bible and other spiritual works. It's not new, but the time has come in our society and in our time to understand how this loving Universe works and to claim our power to live our life as the loving, joy-filled, positive spiritual beings that we are.

Blending with the flow

I had a week between projects which became two weeks when the start date was moved to tomorrow, April 23. Those two weeks seem like a year to me and I can see why the Universe gave me this time to transform and renew. I don't feel like the same person at all. This energetic transformation is going on with the earth and everyone on it at this time and this is my personal experience.

My energy level changed during these two weeks. One time the gas pedal stuck on my car and the engine was roaring. That's how I felt at times -- like I was about to come out of my skin and fly. I appreciated the new energy and told the Manager I wanted to feel comfortable with it and for it to come in smoother. It did.

This change showed up in my physical life as letting go of whatever was no longer needed, thoughts or things, so that the new stands free and clear. The new was already here amongst the old, more came in these two weeks, more is coming.

I decluttered with mad abandon. You've probably seen the movies of an animal who is digging a new den or hole in the earth. Their legs are planted in the earth, butt in the air, and the earth is flying out behind their powerfully digging arms. That was me sans fur. I was moving so fast when I first started that I was actually panting. I just have a few things left to wear in my closet and that's very ok with me. I'd rather have a few things I really like to wear than things that are useful, but not interesting. I went through paperwork and receipts. Everything was up for review and it was so satisfying to put the bags out for trash pickup.

I've been through the decluttering process many times before. I've moved six times in the last five years and each time there was a lot that I gave away or tossed. One time I gave away several boxes of stuff in my living room and I didn't even know what was in them. Moving really puts objects in perspective -- it takes time to pack and unpack them and costs money to move them. Do I really like it or need it? And I have to laugh because I've helped the process along by moving into smaller and smaller places.

There is outdated energy in books I've read before or ones that I bought and know I won't get to. Projects that weren't completed or never begun. An object kept because it was a gift or reminded me of someone, not because I liked it. Even pictures or art objects, clothes, books, or anything that might have been a source of pleasure at one time, but aren't any more. All these things are old energy -- and the fulfillment of someone else's desire when they are given away.

I've changed the way I eat. I wanted to support the new energy and also cook in a way that gives me more time for the things that I want to do. I'm using spices in a new way and, for now, seem to be cooking really delicious soups that I can reheat and add a side salad or vegetables to for quick meals. I see casseroles in my future. The foods I'm using now were there in my repertoire, but not put together in the same way. I notice I'm no longer interested in some foods at all anymore. When I eat now I have an immediate experience if the food supports my energy or if I feel tired or sluggish. I'm a hedonist and like feeling good so supporting this new energy becomes my pleasure. I notice I feel hungry more often, wanting smaller meals during the day rather than any meal being larger or more substantial than the others. I get involved with something ignoring hunger until I feel ravenous, the food satisfies my hunger quickly, and I go on to other things.

I'm not at all saying what I'm doing is "purer" or I've reached some kind of "stuff" Nirvana. I've been a vegetarian before and am not back to that now, although I can see I'm heading in that direction again. I'm having more fun with food. If I want chocolate ice cream, I get chocolate ice cream and enjoy every bit of it! When I eat that way I feel good afterwards no matter what I ate. And what kind of "stuff" do I really need? A plate, knife, fork, pan, place to sleep, a few clothes, and little more. I could declutter more. There's always old to let go of. Always more new coming in. I've had enough of it. Now on to other things.

I've found it's never, ever about the physical -- not even concerning my body. The physical world is where I play, including my body, but it's not where I live and have my being. So, decluttering and changing the way I eat is more about honoring the way I'm feeling and my desire to change my thinking than it is about things.

The changes in my thinking led me to decluttering and decluttering also supported changing my thinking. When I was deciding what to keep or where to move things I did want, I was able to clarify my desires for the new things I've been thinking about. I made space so that things I want to use are easier to get to. There was a very quick interplay between thinking of something I wanted to do or be and immediate ideas for things to get rid of or move. I noticed that when I got rid of some objects, the experience they evoked flooded and filled me. I let go of attaching a feeling to a thing. Even a small experience is powerful as I posted here. And what happened in these two weeks was that every area in my life shifted to a more comfortable, freer place.

I feel much lighter physically, mentally, and emotionally. I've always enjoyed the experience of communicating with non-physical whether it was with personalities of guides and teachers, my Inner Being, Christ, or the Loving Presence of Source Energy. I've been experiencing the "distance" between me and "them" as being less and less -- they have felt closer and less of a specific personality. I don't feel as much like I'm talking to an "other" anymore although I do still experience a loving, intelligent regard watching over and being present with me. I hope I always have that feeling of companionship.

The hard edges of resisting beliefs about who I am have dissolved in a very big way and I'm softening energetically. I might describe the sensation as blending with the flow. Whatever is happening, it feels very good and natural and right. Like coming home to who I really am.

There is a song from the movie You've Got Mail that started going through my mind a few days ago. I heard the tune, but could only remember one word, "Remember." I got the movie out yesterday and finally found it. It's the scene where Meg Ryan is having that gentle, fun breakup with her boyfriend. He tells her about someone he's interested in and asks her if she has someone. She says no, but there is the dream of someone. Then the song starts as she walks away, "Remember. Life isn't always what it seems. Remember. Dream. Dream. Dream." That song started to play in my mind as I was writing this. This song is such a lovely way to remind myself that what is important is the experience. That's what we are here for. And that dreams do come true. And then another. And another. For as long as we all shall live. Forever.

Chief Joseph: God Speaks

John Cali

Some time back Chief Joseph and I did a private reading for someone going through a hugely challenging time in his life. We ordinarily get people coming to us with tough questions and issues. But this one was far beyond the realm I would call "ordinary."

The details are not important. But my reaction was. It was a wake-up call for me.

I’ve been channeling Chief Joseph almost 15 years now. And I think I’ve gotten pretty good at it. But there are still times when I question the whole process. And I wonder if I’m making it all up.

Shortly before we did that reading, I said to myself, "I wonder what in the hell Chief Joseph is going to say to this person." I had no idea whatsoever.

Immediately Joseph "popped in" and chided me (gently), "It’s not your job to figure out what in the hell we’re going to say. It’s your job just to be the messenger."

Joseph was simply repeating what they had said to me many times over the years -- go with the flow. You don’t have to figure it all out in advance. You don’t have to be able to analyze or articulate it. Just do it!

God speaks to us all. For me, through Chief Joseph. But also through a book, a movie, a friend, an animal. Or an angel. And always through our higher selves. Regardless of the messenger God uses, he/she speaks to us all, all the time.

Joseph told me something years ago I have never forgotten:

When you know, really know, in your heart and your gut God is with you always, and speaks to you always and in all ways, all you will hear is the sound of your own voice.

Here’s Chief Joseph.

Chief Joseph

Friends, you live in a world and in a time that often devalues the worth of the individual. You see this manifested in many ways. You need look no farther than the daily headlines of your mainstream news media.

But when you see this phenomenon expressed in such a shockingly tragic way as the events in Virginia two days ago, that really gets your attention. (Chief Joseph is referring to the mass murders at the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA.)

Though it’s certainly a human tragedy of unimaginable proportions, it’s also a wake-up call for all of you on the planet today. As are all the other sad and tragic human events you see showcased in your news media nearly every day.

So what’s it all about?

Is the human race on a sure road to hell? Are you all lost? Is there no hope for you or your world?

The answer to all these questions is "No!" All is not lost. Although it sure seems like that at times, we know. But all is truly well, despite appearances.

When you listen to your own inner guidance, to your heart, such events cannot happen. They are impossible. But they do happen. Which means many of you are simply not paying attention to yourselves, to your inner guidance.

No one who is really tuned into his/her inner guidance, to the God/Goddess within, could ever do what that young man in Virginia did two days ago. It simply would not be possible.

Being in touch with yourselves -- in other words, with the God within -- puts you in a place of absolute joy and love. From that place of joy and love, it is not possible for you to reach out to others, to any living being, with anything but love and compassion.

You are all having "conversations with God," as the title of a recent movie reads. Where you get lost often is you do not consciously know you are always having a conversation with God. But if you are listening to your heart, if you are always taking care to do only what feels good to you -- in other words, if you are trusting yourself and your own wisdom and power -- then you are listening to God speak.

God speaks to you through your own voice, always and in all ways

Since 1992, John Cali has been communicating with a non-physical entity called Joseph. In one of his many physical lifetimes, this spirit was incarnated as the legendary Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe in what is now the state of Oregon in the northwestern USA. These messages are a blend of information from Joseph, other spirits in the "Joseph group," and John.

I'm ready to play

Ok, I'm ready to play with in a new way with manifesting. I've been going for the feeling of connection and that has worked so well. I've had ecstatic experiences of connection with All That Is when the actions I took or the things that were manifested were very simple and day-to-day. And oh, that is so much fun! Just the pure experience of those wonderful feelings clearly in connection to Well-being and manifesting outward into the world.

I feel grounded in the awareness of my connection and am in the midst of another big shift that is happening rapidly this week. I realize my true energy is what it is and I haven't affected that at all, but it feels faster and freer now. I'm just allowing myself to experience it more freely with less resistance. Abraham advises that we turn our focus to what feels good at all times and the reason is that we align energetically with what we focus on. I appreciate the new connections with people I am making this week that match these good feelings of prosperity and creativity I'm enjoying. All along my path in this lifetime I have met beautiful souls to talk to, learn from, and share ideas with at every level of allowing I've had.

When I know that I live in the eternal Now and that the Universe answers my desires immediately, then I am always prosperous. If something I desire costs $3.99 and I have $4 in my pocket, I am prosperous. What is needed will be given. As far as connecting with well-being goes, this is one of those situations where size really doesn't matter. This wisdom is in many writings. For example, the Course in Miracles says there is no order of miracles and Abraham-Hicks states that it is as easy to manifest a castle as it is a button.

Well, I'm wanting to manifest castles now. I have these delicious desires to write and publish in a bigger way than I have. I love nature and there are many beautiful places I would like to explore and interesting critters to see. I want to nurture the earth that I appreciate so much -- clean up rivers, preserve and provide habitat for trees and animals. I want to play!!

And I'm ready.

The energy of writing and a surprise short short SHORT piece of purple prose

Short short fiction can be a story of few words or a few thousand -- there are no rules. Roberta Allen advises us to follow our energy in her book, Fast Fiction. Her ideas mesh so well with the philosophy I love -- Abraham-Hicks and LOA. I was listening to an Abe CD recently where their advice to a writer was to write for enjoyment and let it attract the market rather than try to write for a market. These ideas are interesting and a lot more fun to explore than the traditional advice.

It is important to remember, especially in the beginning, that the words in an exercise are less important than the energy behind those words. Whenever you have energy, you have the seed of a story or novel, even it is only a phrase or a sentence that excites you. (p. 10)

As I think you realize by now, this book is about playing with possibilities so that ultimately you will make the right fictional choices for yourself, the ones that "feel" right. Energy, feeling, and the writing process are the key words in these pages. If you learn to follow your feelings and go where the energy is, you will learn a great deal about your writing process. When you know a great deal about that, you know a great deal about yourself.... (p. 12)

When I say there are no "real" rules, I mean that they are not carved in stone. I believe rules are made to be broken, but only after they are learned. There is a reason for them. They focus the mind.... So my advice would be to learn as much as you can first. Then go for it. Ultimately, what counts is whether your story or novel "works." How you got there is beside the point. Exactly what happened may never be known. You may not be able to follow your own trail twice. That's the way stories and novels are sometimes. They are words plus a little bit of magic. (p. 14)

A philosophy to live by in any creating!

Ok, and in the spirit of creating I'm going to also include a short short SHORT piece I posted for a Purple Prose contest at AbsoluteWrite (my favorite writing site). We were given a selected sentence and were to pick a genre and rewrite it in purple prose.

I selected this quote from The Old Man and the Sea and chose to rewrite it as a very flamboyant science fiction piece:

He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. (The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingway)

Journal Entry: Some on this planet say the river Styx exists only in mythology, but it runs...oh, yes, it runs...a dark, hellish, fishless stream of energy...winding its long and lonely course in the Stygian darkness of space (both sublime and ominous) to this cerulean, azure globe where the crabby, fussy, stubborn, wizened old man sits hunkered in his small, wooden boat beneath the searing rays of the luminous star lighting this planetary system. This star...spewing millions of protons and rays and stuff into space in violent bursts of radiation, and he, the crusty, ancient mariner of a man absorbing these rays into his very skin, nay even into his brain... dance again as the seemingly endless night oozes into the virulent, blinding day for the eighty-fourth time. Our note log indicates: No sandwiches. No drinking water. No Doritos. No soap. No toilet paper. No deodorant. Probably no underwear, but we really don't want to know. And, as we sit thoughtfully in our fifth dimensional observation post, we must add: No fish. No wonder.

Remembering some wise teachers: Stephen Levine, Shakti Gawain, and Mary Anderson

I'm going through a full-fledged sorting and throwing out fest. I just found some quotes I'd kept from years ago from three truly beautiful souls: Stephen Levine, Shakti Gawain, and Mary Anderson. Just touching on something they wrote evokes peace in me and appreciation for their light which still shines:

Healing, like grace, can be somewhat disorienting in its early stages. It is a breaking through of the old to reveal the ever new. Healing, like grace, always takes us toward our true nature. Indeed, healing is not somewhere we are going, but a discovery of where we already are--a participation in the process unfolding moment to moment. Many of us pray for a miracle when all else has failed. We wish for grace to descend upon us. But grace comes from within. Grace arises when the work of healing is in process. A graceful healing into the spirit that goes beyond the need of definition or even words like "grace" or "karma" or "spirit." Though many of the people we worked with did not begin with a spiritual inclination, many uncovered their healing by taking on what some call spiritual practices toward the discovery of a deeper self. But we did notice that even those who had shied away from what they call "spiritual stuff" in the course of their daily confrontation with the impermanence of the body, cultivated a certain quality of heartfulness and peacefulness.

Stephen Levine, Healing into Life and Death

We each have an infinite supply of love and happiness within us. We have been accustomed to thinking we have to get something from the outside in order to be happy, but in truth it works the other way: we must learn to connect our inner source of happiness and satisfaction and flow it outward to share with others--not because it is virtuous to do so, but because it feels really good! Once we tune into it we just naturally want to share it because that is the essential nature of love, and we are all loving beings.

Shakti Gawain, Creative Visualization

A small boy, upon being asked how he would describe God, said simply, "I think of Him as Light." Looked at from the angle of color and its place in our lives, this is a very apt description, for all life is energy vibrating at a different rate. Each vibration has a corresponding color and all color rays emanate from the central source, the Great White Light or Logos as we are instructed by the Ancient Teachings. In fact, as with everything else in life, there is an outer form to be perceived by our senses and an inner or hidden meaning to be discovered.

Mary Anderson, Color Healing

I was aware that the decluttering I'm going through is part of a transformation I'm going through: out with the old to make space for the new, physically, mentally, and spiritually. But there is also an interplay between rearranging my physical environment and my thinking that feels like a graceful dance.

Some of it is obvious -- I have new things I want to do and I'm getting rid of old papers, books, clothes, projects, and stuff that no longer interests me -- rearranging my physical space so it's easier for new desires.

Some of it is understandable because of the work I've been doing with Abraham-Hicks -- as I see things I haven't touched or read or looked at for a long time, I've been thinking about family and my life -- gaining clarity about how I want things to be now.

Some of it is unexpected -- I'm also having an integrative and very loving experience with my past that has just come full-blown into my consciousness.

The awareness started this morning when I wrote a friend about how I viewed past romantic relationships. I explained that I had loved them so I didn't want to get rid of the love when they ended -- I just wanted to come to peace with how it had changed. And as I wrote that to her I could feel those relationships with the men I had loved as something inside me that had been woven into a path or a whole cloth. I could feel my appreciation of them and what they had given me and their appreciation of who I was and how they had loved me supporting who I am now.

I had this warm feeling of peace and love as I was entering the excerpts for this post. I was remembering the time when I read that information. I lived in Virginia Beach and was into psychic development, dreamwork, and healing in a big way. I went to workshops, met a lot of people, was in groups, did research, published a newsletter on dreamwork, learned a lot, and had a lot of fun.

Awhile ago I had a feeling of hardness inside me like a wall or block. I felt empty and was puzzled because I know I'm not empty. I touched on it and did the work that felt best: EFT, placematting, and giving it to the Presence and having a good talk about it -- then I forgot about it.

So, now I've been guided to these quotes and these warm and loving experiences of all of the good things in my life -- I'm filled to overflowing with them and they spill into my life now. I tossed the paper the quotes were on after I entered them and that felt really good, too. I'm getting rid of the stuff that doesn't matter and the warm, living experience flows through for me.

Abraham-Hicks: How we are creators

What "moving thought forward" is, is about being a nucleus that attracts different components of thought so that when they actualize around you -- it is different than it has ever been before!

As I stand in my focused, human, leading-edge experience, and I choose this combination of thoughts and feelings, I am offering a signal that has never been offered before. And so, the Universe must uniquely yield to me, which causes me to offer a vibration that maybe someone somewhere else is matching. If they are, they will certainly come into my experience for the time that we are matching it."That is the way you affect the world.

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 the Universe has to respond around. That is how you are the creator.

The energy of well-being expressing in the physical world

I have a post right below this one and this is the thinking I was doing that got me to that place. By the time I got to the end of this post I understood what I was talking about and had the realization that I posted below.

I was thinking about energy. Each blog we read, each mineral, tree, bird, car, piece of money...each thing we see, each sound we hear, all of it is energy that we are experiencing and our body is interpreting for us. Abraham is teaching us about our feelings and their function which is to let us know how we are thinking relative to those things we desire. Our inner being is communicating to us and our feelings are our interpretation of the communication. Another way to say it is that feelings are our interpretation of what we are thinking relative to what we have sent out before us in our desire and which is in turn calling to us by it's energy. We just have to match what we sent out!

And the trick is that we won't match it in the physical world platform that prompted us to have the desire. We match it in our thinking and draw it to us. It materializes which creates a new platform for us to shoot off rockets of desire.

The short cut for me is to remember that everything is well-being. So, if I am feeling anything but well-being it is simply that I am having a thought that is out of alignment with well-being (the truth of what is). I change my thinking and I change my feeling. It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with anything "outside" of me -- including my body. It only has to do with what I am thinking. And furthermore, "reality" will reflect my thoughts of well-being.

Waiting for circumstances to change so you can feel good is like looking in a mirror waiting for your reflection to smile first.

Bashar (copyright by Darryl Anka)

That's why Abraham is always talking about seeking things that feel good -- to taste, to see, to do, to read, to talk about, and to experience. Because we are always aligning with the energy of what we are perceiving.

However, another tricky part -- what we are perceiving is filtered through our beliefs. The energy of love is everywhere. It's the only thing that is real so if we are looking at something we have a choice of what we think. Our choice of thoughts is either allowing ourselves to interpret the energy of well-being or not. We don't change well-being or anything outside of us, just allow ourselves to see the truth of it or not and call it into expression.

This perceiving is so powerful! I think of Christ and the loaves and the fishes or the miracles of healing that happened in His presence because He saw the truth of well-being that is in all things.

It is standing in the physical experience as a spiritual being -- aware of non-physical Presence -- sensing the love in all things in the physical -- experiencing the body as a sender of desires that you receive as gifts and can taste and touch and see!!! That's what it's all about -- it is that absolute flowing of life force joyfully and without any restrictions.

You are extensions of [pure, positive] creative energy, and when you are not deliberately doing it [i.e., flowing the energy toward what you want], life is flat. Friends, this is not piddly little energy! This energy keeps your earth spinning in its orbit, in perfect proximity to other planets. We THINK it can help you be happy in your house!

Abraham-Hicks

Every time you praise something, every time you appreciate something, every time you feel good about something, you are telling the Universe, "More of this, please. More of this, please." You need never again make another verbal statement of this intent, and if you were allowing your cork to float---all good things would flow to you.

Abraham-Hicks, 4/19/97

You have your hand on the switch. You are the allower or the resister. And your emotions tell you which you're doing right now. It's easy once you understand the formula: When you feel good, you're allowing good. When you don't feel good, you are not allowing good. We didn't say, when you feel good you are allowing good, and when you feel bad you are allowing bad (although it may translate into your experience in that way). There is only a Source of Well-being---which you are allowing or not.

Abraham-Hicks, 7/20/02

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 G-2/27/97, Napa, CA

"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, 8/19/00

You're picky about the car you drive, you're picky about what you wear, you're picky about what you put in your mouth. We want you to be pickier about what you think.

Abraham-Hicks, 2/27/97

There are endless paths that lead to Source. And it is the connection to Source that is ultimately sought after by all....appreciate their path. Appreciate it as their method of connecting with Source Energy. And we promise you, there is not one method that is better than the other.

Abraham-Hicks, 12/9/00-B

Once you start deliberately offering thought, then you can never offer enough action to keep up with the thought. Once you access the Energy that creates worlds, a huge vortex comes into place, and there's just not enough action for you to keep up with that. And so, what you have to do is visualize every step of the way, envision you happy in the process. Envision things in place, envision people catching on. Just envision it working. Skip over the how and the where and the when and the who -- and just stay focused upon the what and the why.

Abraham-Hicks, Monterey, CA -- G-3/14/00

It is not possible to earn anything. It is all vibrational.

Abraham-Hicks

What you're beginning to understand is that first of all --- all things are possible, everything that you can flow Energy toward, you vibrate with and you attract the physical tangible proof of it. Then you come to the place that you have really intended to be, you come to the place of saying --- What do I choose to give my attention to? What part of this immense spectrum of possible thought am I wanting to contribute to?

Money is a gift from our loving Universe

I was prompted to channel for myself this evening and with it received golden energy from non-physical into my heart and through my heart to my spine. I'm not sure if my body was physically moving or not, but it felt like a giant heart beat along my spine that eventually filled me and quieted. It seems that there is another shift coming soon for me and that's a good thing. This is just part of coming into attunement with my deepest desires. Feels like a biggee this time.

I'm rewriting this post because by the time I got to the end of it, I changed my alignment with my topic which was prosperity. I see the well-being in money now. I can feel the loving energy of money as a gift from our Father Mother God. "Go here. There's the most beautiful waterfall I want you to see." "This is for you to dress in ways that make you feel like the beautiful person you are." "Taste this delicious dish. And this one. And try this one!" "This is for you, dear one."

The nature of the Universe is abundance and we have full and free access to it. It is the non-physical energy of love and nothing can stop or hinder it in expression. Nothing.

I'm experiencing a whoosh of freeing relief like I've opened up a place that was cramped -- coming out a shoebox into a big wide Universe. And I could see so much abundance in my life before. Wonder what fun this will be to explore!

The better it gets the better it gets -- the process of fine-tuning

I feel so good that even though uncomfortable thoughts are light, I still notice them and have the desire for better feeling thoughts. This process of fine-tuning is happening is such a gentle way now.

I know the Universe offers me one opportunity after another and that I am free to choose what feels good, but still had concerns about not doing the income tax preparation this week while I was between projects. Hanging onto the possibility of working for them was like keeping something in my house in case I "might need it some day." What was activated was an old pattern of thinking I needed to "be responsible" and not trusting my own feelings about what I wanted to do this week because that would be irresponsible (doing things just for fun and because I want to instead of working. Good heavens, what if everyone did that?!!! LOL)

As I was writing yesterday morning I was kind of mulling being responsible vs having fun and got the message that this is just a platform I am standing on and a place to make another choice. I felt relief at this answer to the old way of thinking. It's not a matter of being responsible vs being irresponsible. I was reminded that Abe is telling us we can always make another choice and that the Universe answers. That when we have fun, when we feel good, when we think thoughts that feel good, and make choices that we enjoy...all good things follow. My family was in turmoil when I was very small and I was such a responsible little kid -- kid stuff was being childish. Being responsible is certainly something I can do, but I love the support from the Universe for my hammock-on-the-beach reality creation. I would MUCH rather stand on a platform that feels good to shoot off my next desire! Universe bring me money in ways that are fun and feel good, please.

Now in this particular situation I was wanting to be responsible about money so I got immediate confirmation from the Universe that I made the right decision. I found out my rent is being readjusted and going to be lowered $50 a month starting in June! I had also been thinking I would like a new top and the same day got a $15 gift card in the mail from my favorite store.

All of these things I'm describing were just a few minutes of time, but fell into place in a couple of days. And there were other things happening like that all week, sometimes I would have a thought and within a few minutes get the answer or have something happen. It's a lot of fun when the manifestation happens so quickly and the more fun it is the quicker it happens and the quicker it happens the more fun it is and so on. This makes it even more fun to just have desires and anticipate them coming. Even things I've wanted for a long time are fun now. I know what held them back and I know I'll receive them. And I know the Universe will bring them in some playful, unexpected way. How many folks have their rent lowered?!!

And probably the best thing I've experienced is clarity on creative projects that I've been thinking I'd like to do. Manifestation is already starting to happen this week! I have ideas, they sound like fun, and then gosh gee whiz, I "stumble across" an Internet site that gives me new ideas. I have a thought about what I might want to have to start the project and a place where I could find the supplies comes into my head. I'm going there today and it's so much fun to see what is there for me.

I have fun getting things I desire, but the joy comes from the feeling of connection to a loving Presence, of being watched over and nurtured and loved for who I am. It feels so right to be oriented to that Energy -- the right way for me to live and a way to enjoy this physical experience that feels good all the time. I always have plenty when I know that whatever I need is supplied -- and it is!

The more you find something to appreciate, the better it feels. The better it feels, the more you want to do it. The more you do it, the better it feels. The better it feels...the more you want to do it! The Law of Attraction assists with the powerful momentum of these positive thoughts and feelings until, with very little time and effort, you will find your heart singing in your joyous alignment with who you really are! And, in this wonderful-feeling vibration where no resistance exists, you will be in an exaggerated state of ALLOWING -- you will be in the vibrational state where the things that you desire can flow easily into your experience. The better it gets, the better it gets!

Abraham-Hicks: It's all about how you feel when you eat it

Guest: I'd like to know what to do when relief looks like too many chocolate chip cookies or too many games on the computer? Or, for some, pain pills or alcohol?

Abraham: If it keeps looking like relief, then you must be continuing to turn back the other way. We can see it looking like relief once or twice, but if it keeps happening, it means that it's relief, then you find an upstream thought, then it's relief, then you find an upstream thought.

But what's wrong with the chocolate chip cookies anyway?

Guest: Too many of them tends...

Abraham: But what causes you to call them "too many of them?"

You say, "I want to be slender, but I believe the cookie is the opposite of that." So I want this but I am doing that, so how does it really feel when I'm eating the cookie?

Now stay with this, you're really gonna like it.

So if I am reaching for the relief of aligning with my physical intention, then it would feel better for me to let the cookie go as long as I believe the cookie is in opposition to where I want to go. But often that is not the subject on the table. The subject on the table is "I'm frustrated out of my mind about this and this and THIS! Oh, that cookie looks like relief! I'm frightened about this. This cookie looks like relief."

As you begin to reach for relief, there is nothing wrong with reaching for the comfort in food. There's nothing wrong with that, but just don't let that be the only comfort you are reaching for. Reach for the comfort in thought.

Now imagine this really sophisticated chemical factory that has the ability to extract from everything that you give it necessary components. Your body's ability to digest breaks everything down into usable stuff. And the cells of your body then attract to themselves the parts of that usable stuff that they most need. Very raw description, but really an accurate description, too. So your chemical factory has the ability to effectively utilize what you are eating unless you are angry about it or frightened about it or guilty about it. If you don't make peace with the way you are eating, you make it harder for your chemical factory to utilize it. When
you love what you are eating...

That's the biggest thing that has gone wrong with diet in your culture today. You used to eat and like your food, and now you've made all food your enemy.

It's a really rare one of you who can eat anything and not find something in it that makes you believe you should not eat it. So it is really odd to find a human eating and taking pleasure from the food. Instead, you've got this love/hate relationship with food. You want it because the cells of your body are asking for it. You were born with this guidance that lets you know it is time to refuel. You have this cellular calling for the food, then you give it the food and before you have even swallowed it, you've set up a vibrational wall of resistance that makes it more difficult for your body to utilize the food.

That's why different people can eat the identical food and get different results from it. If it were as you think it is, by now or long ago, you should have been able to get a formula that works for everyone - This food means THIS and this food means THIS. This combination of food means this. You are leaving out the only factor that matters. And it's the resistance/allowing factor.

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.

Abraham-Hicks: The window of opportunity is always open

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

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

Appreciation and self-love are the most important aspects you could ever nurture. Appreciation of others and the appreciation of yourself are the closest vibrational matches to Source Energy of anything we have ever witnessed anywhere in this Universe.

Abraham-Hicks, ASK AND IT IS GIVEN, page 103

Anyone who cares mostly about how they feel could never be hypnotized into believing that they are less than wonderful.

Abraham-Hicks

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....

Abraham-Hicks

Milk every moment for all the pleasure you can get from it. When you say, "It is my dominant intent[ion] to look for things that feel good today. No matter where I'm going, no matter what I'm doing, no matter who I'm doing it with, it is my dominant intent[ion] to look for what I'm wanting to see; to look for things that feel good," and, the more you develop the habit of that kind of vibration, the more the Universe understands that THAT'S who you are! And so, the more you have access only to those kinds of things!

Abraham-Hicks: You don't have to be perfect to begin receiving your desires

You don't have to be pure and perfect to begin to be the recipient of avalanches of evidence of well being. In other words, you just have to tip the scale a little bit in order for you to begin to receive the evidence of it. As you begin to tip the scale, you'll have some, what you will later call, "near-misses": Someone who initially looks pretty good will come in. And by closer scrutiny or exploration, you'll discover, "This isn't quite right," and you'll say, "Oh, Universe! You have foiled me again! (laughter) You have brought to me someone less than I want!"

And we say, Oh! It is just a near-miss! It is evidence that you're getting closer and closer. Don't you notice all of these things that were nearly right? And didn't the parts that weren't right help you to clarify more clearly what it is that you are wanting? And aren't you now sending off clearer signals about what you do want? And as you're reaching for thoughts that feel good, are you not aligning to these yet clearer signals about what you are wanting? And is your future not brighter? Is it not more assured of satisfying you when it comes? And aren't you willing to sort of cool your jets and relax a little bit, and wait for the perfect timing of the unfolding of this?

If you were sculpting clay -- and this is not different from that, except that you are using energy for focus, rather than your hands to focus -- if you were sculpting clay you would not expect to take that big clump of clay and create the perfect thing the first time! And we notice that the fun is in the sculpting. And so, sometimes you'll sculpt, and you'll sculpt, and you'll sculpt, and you'll sculpt . . . and finally it will come to something that you want. And if not you can pick up some more clay. But the thing about this sculpting of your life experience is that the clay never hardens; it stays soft and pliable, so you can keep making it into more and more and more and more and more and more pleasing things, you see.

Abraham- Hicks: Procrastination

I love how this works. I completed a project for one company Friday and could call and see if I am needed to do income tax preparation this week. I don't really want to work there, keep doing other things, and just ran across this quote.

Procrastination is nothing more than your physical realization that you are acting too soon - that some mental alignment is in order. So procrastination is not a bad thing. It is the realization that the Universe has not yet sufficiently aligned the Energy.

Abraham-Hicks, 2/8/91

When I listen closer, the internal pushing I feel is to call, and my foot dragging was thinking it was intuition that I should work for them. I feel OK about calling. If I don't want to go in at all then I can just say so. The money will come to me in other ways that are much more fun.

Yep, so I'll call. The feeling of procrastination was mild and in the background, but I don't need to feel even the mildest resistance. I've really been enjoying my day off yesterday and today and have gotten a lot done. I look forward to more fun this week before my next big project starts next Monday.

We're not wanting you to ever feel bad about feeling bad. Because we know that feeling bad is always a temporary state of being. Good is ultimately all that is. You say, "Why did I ever let it feel bad?" And we say, we've been wondering the same thing.

Abraham-Hicks, 11/23/02

I just love feeling good!

You don't create with action. Action is how you enjoy what you've lined up with energy.

Abraham-Hicks: Allowing the career you really want

ABRAHAM: ....You're thinking there is a right or wrong action that I might take. And what we're telling you is it's not about a right or wrong action, it's about an allowing or disallowing vibration. So the action doesn't mean anything. We want to break that to you gently. The action is insignificant. It's the way you feel about the action....

It's like we were watching them wanting to help lovable cat. They call her LC for lovable cat. They're wanting to encourage her to go out the new cat door. And Jerry said it's like trying to put toothpaste back into the tube. When she wants to go out she is like a sleek little streak that goes right through it. But if she doesn't want to, she swells up and sticks everything out, there's no way you can force her through that little hole. And that seems to be the way so many of you are going about your creations. It's like you're so sure it's not going to work but you've got to take the action so you're just pushing yourself as hard as you can and getting no results at all.

Inspiration is where you dream it and then the inspiration makes it happen. Motivation is where you hope it or want it and then just try to shove yourself through the cat door from behind....

Certainly the music that flows through you is a talent but you have all kinds of talents. The thing that we think is messing you up is you are trying to call one talent favorable and one talent unfavorable. And what we are wanting you to understand is you are this magnificent perceiver that at any point in time can receive non physical energy to assist you in whatever you are creating.

In other words there is not one more virtuous than the other. You get to choose where the fulfillment is greatest for you. And we think there is part of that unworthiness and self judgment that we were talking about earlier is sort of mixed in with all of this.

We would have to talk long and hard in order to in one sitting convince you that it is alright for you to allow all of this success that your are wanting so much. We are offering it to you vibrationally. We are knowing it from every corner of the universe. There is not one reason that you should ever disallow any of that.

It must be the most joyful and pleasant continuing unfolding. You are not off track. You are not behind schedule. There is not an imbalance here. Nothing is imperfect about this. Everything is unfolding just right. Your desires have not been set aside too long. There is not somebody else that is keeping it from happening to you. It is yours if you want it. We can feel from the vibration of your being that you certainly do want it. There is not a reason for it not to occur.

Whether it occurs now or later doesn't really matter. The process is what it's all about anyway. The opportunity to have the desire and then allow the alignment of energy. The manifestation is going to be great but the energy flowing in the meantime is every bit as delicious you see?

May You Be Blessed - Virtual Therapy for the Soul

I have something really, really lovely for you today --the May You Be Blessed movie by Mary Novak.

Just Imagine...

what would happen if everyone who views this movie — all the millions who have viewed it thus far, and all those who will view it in the future — if all of us spent just 24 hours blessing everyone and everything in our lives.

That much positive thought energy, wrapped in a blanket of love and sent forth in a genuine attitude of care and appreciation, could radically shift world-wide trends, changing not only what is happening in our world right now, but for decades to come.

http://www.mayyoubeblessedmovie.com/

There is an incredibly beautiful energy about this movie. As you view it, your appreciation gives to that energy which in turns gives to others that view it.

Be sure to wait after the movie for more information about Mary's vision to create a billion blessings in 1000 days through this movie and the inspiration that follows.

There are so many wonderful expressions of love happening now!

The fairies of the Universe lay it all out in perfect timing

My thinking and being in the world is still changing very quickly, but gently. One thing I have been noticing for several weeks is how elegant the timing of the Universe is.

There are several financial and legal situations which are being resolved right now. I had asked the Universe to take care of it for me and guide me and I can look back now and see how the pieces fell into place one after another to lead to this freeing moment. I felt distressed about some of them, but they all helped me become clear about what I wanted and to make a decision which led to resolution. It wasn't the way I had been thinking it would happen, but you know what? That doesn't matter! It's going incredibly smoothly and I feel such relief and so prosperous. I also feel more confident about my own judgment about the timing of things. What another person sees as procrastination, may actually be our own inner sense of right timing.

I've been seeing how this timing works in many big and small ways and have a feeling of relief. I don't have to control any part of what I desire. I don't have to think it into being or hold myself in a certain position. All I need to do is to relax and let what I want happen.

The more in vibrational sync you are with who you really are, then the more you are allowing only those things that you're wanting, and the less resistance there is. And the less resistance there is, then the less delay between the idea of the thought and the receiving of it.

Abraham-Hicks, 12/1/01

What Abe is describing above is what I think of as being in the flow. The Universe rolls out a red carpet in front of me as I walk through my day. I know there is an Abe quote where Abe says the fairies of the Universe go to work to lay everything out for us when we have a desire. And the timing is so that the experience is more delicious to us when we receive it.

There are those that enjoy the deliciousness of having a desire and molding it. They like to work it into shape. I'm the laying-in-a-hammock-on-a-beach type of reality creationist. I love knowing I don't have to do anything but love myself right now, just as I am. Eat foods I enjoy. Read books and look at movies that make me feel good. Talk to people I love. Do things that are fun. That's it in a nutshell.

Oh, I do things all the time. I make plans. I think about what I would like to have or do or what I want to have completed. I explore ideas. I work. I write. I clean my house. I file my taxes. I pay bills. I take care of paperwork. But I just love discovering more and more and more that I can choose to live in a happy state of being where it's all fun -- that I can flow through my day like riding on a raft on a beautiful river. There are lovely sights to see and wonderful things to experience at every turn. I ask for a clear space for me to merge into traffic on my way to work and there will be a huge clear area in heavy traffic. I want a boss I enjoy on this project and get the sweetest, smartest trainer I've had yet. I'm going to describe an experience I had that happened a couple of days ago that took...what... 10 or 15 minutes? And yet was such a magnificent answer to my desire.

I'm doing paperwork at my desk and notice I'm starting to feel a little bored or frustrated and have a desire for something interesting. We've just had a big rain storm and I stand up to stretch and look out the window and there is the most incredible sunset -- I just stand in awe. There is a flat, slate-blue cloud cover across the sky with an open area at the horizon where the sun is setting in billowing oranges, reds, and yellows that glow toward me. As I watch, the colors change to more intense reds and yellows, then fade to rose with mauve and lavender at the edges. The clouds above are lined with gold at times or lit on the underside with rose. A beautiful, unique, lovely moment that I was inspired to enjoy. The Universe knows I love nature and got me on my feet to see: look, look what I have for you! I think this answer is available to us so many moments of our day and when we trust and listen to our own desires, there is a gift for us. Trust yourself, for what you want is good.

It's not that we have to grab every moment or it's lost. There is another and another and another in an incredible display of abundance. The buffet is laid out fully for us all the time. It's up to us to choose what we want to taste and sample and enjoy.

I've had good feelings and the answer to my desires before but they were high moments among other feelings that didn't feel so good. This fine-tuning all through my day is new to me. Catching frustration or boredom right when it's happening, setting a new desire, and having it answered right then -- that's new for me. It's a smoother way to feel good all day long. I can adjust it exactly the way I want it right in the moment. Or just set an intention for a longer period of time. I can do whatever I want whenever I want!

I just love this reality creation stuff!

With much appreciation for Abraham, and Esther and Jerry Hicks for this wonderful information.
