Grace and Abraham-Hicks

I am changing so quickly that I haven't been able to pull posts together about the process. I don't even want to look at what is going on -- some gentle change is happening inside of me that has a life of it's own and I just want to get out of the way. I can offer feeling tones and this is one of them.

On my journey of well-being the last few days I've been dazzled by the light of Grace.

Source Energy offers each one of us a gift and that is Grace, that we deserve just because of who we are. In a way I feel stunned by the realization of this gift we are given with such love.

Abraham tells us that when we shoot off a rocket of desire, the Universe answers YES! 99.99% of what we want is created immediately and waiting for us to allow it into our life.

We don't have to do any thing to earn it or prove that we are worthy. As a matter of fact, it's impossible to do enough to deserve or be worthy of the abundance this loving Universe pours into our lives every day.

How many negative thoughts are due to not feeling worthy -- feeling that something more is needed to be enough in some way?

How would your life be different if you allowed yourself to feel that you deserve --just because of who you are?

You live in a state of grace. You forget that when you feel good, only good things can come to you. It's just a matter of relaxing, and things will come.

Abraham-Hicks, 1/23/94

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

Abraham-Hicks, San Rafael, CA, 2-21-04A

A technique for changing thinking -- from watching Abraham-Hicks

I was watching the second DVD of the 2005 Abraham-Hicks Alaskan Cruise yesterday when I saw something that made it so easy for me to quantify my thoughts. I offer it to you as way to fine-tune your thinking for even more feelings of well-being and allowing those delicious desires to come into your life.

The questioner had asked about negative manifestations that seem to come from nowhere. Abe was explaining that they don't come from nowhere, they always match our vibration. The problem is that we often are not aware of how much time we are focused on what we don't want. They illustrated how it works by turning back and forth as they repeated various thoughts, physically illustrating which thoughts are downstream and which are upstream.

For those who may be unfamiliar with Abraham, they are saying that there is only a flow of Well-Being and it goes in one direction -- like our earth rivers, it flows downstream in an expansion of well-being and the answer to our desires. When we resist the flow, we are trying to go upstream which is impossible. The way we can tell is by our feelings -- when we go with the flow we feel good, when we resist we have unpleasant feelings -- that's our emotional guidance system.

Abe's illustration worked like this: You are standing up. Upstream is when you face in front of you -- your desires are met and you feel good. Turn around and face behind you. That's downstream -- lack, desires not met, looking at "what is" in the physical world.

A short illustration using money as an example:

Facing forward, downstream with the flow: I want more money.

Then turn around, upstream: But I have no money. My bills are due!

Start to turn forward: But I want more money.

Turn facing downstream in back of you: But I don't know what I'll do if I don't get the money. What if I can't pay my bills?

You can physically feel what your thoughts are creating using this technique.

We can become used to an underlying grumpy feeling, thoughts that we kind of mumble to ourselves in the back of our mind while we are doing something else, or even habitual thoughts that happen at certain times like getting bills in the mail.

It is consciousness raising to catch those thoughts and turn around facing the direction you do not want to go. It's a real eye-opener to actually see what that thought is doing, going in the opposite direction of where you want to go.

If you find yourself facing away from your desires just know that every single moment is newly created. Every moment is an opportunity to make a choice. Right then when you are facing backward, know there is the delicious opportunity to make a new choice. Turn around, face forward, and affirm what it is that you want knowing that it is yours -- because it is.

It doesn't matter what thing you've done, it only matters what thing you do -- because you can't resist in the past tense, you can only resist in the powerful Now. You might have started a pattern before and you might be continuing a pattern, but it's the doing now not the 'have done' that matters.

Abraham-Hicks, Cincinnati, OH, 7/7/01

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 and the leading edge

Photo: Guggenheim Museum Bilboa, Spain






As physical creatures, you are upon the leading edge of thought. You are here so poignantly, so deliberately, so finely focused in this time and place...that in your very precision of experience, you are taking thought beyond that which it has been.

Abraham-Hicks, 10/4/92

Speaking of being on the leading edge...I recently watched a DVD called Sketches of Frank Gehry about the leading edge architect. I'm fascinated by his creations like the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain shown in this photo above, but I think I was as interested in how he created his life as I was his buildings. An "ordinary man" building extraordinary creations who said he fell into architecture -- who convinced others to believe in him and his designs, to put millions of dollars on the line as well as their reputations for choosing such unconventional designs. And he did it very successfully. One artist made a comment that it made him feel that Frank was setting up an arena where something incredible could occur. And where does he get his ideas? In one scene in the documentary Frank describes how his inspiration comes from anywhere -- like the shadows and forms from the trash in a wastebasket he picked up.

You have been oriented that you must pay a price in order to get somewhere, and in the process, you've come to believe that getting there must be really important, therefore, it must be your purpose. And we say, but if you're not getting to joy, then you've gotten nowhere. Joy is really where you're going.

Abraham-Hicks, 12/13/03

I'm also intrigued by Reid Stowe and Soanya Ahmad who are sailing their schooner, Anne, in a heart shape in the South Atlantic for 1,000 Days Non-stop at Sea. What strikes me is not only the adventure of their journey, but the beauty of their appreciation of each other and the world they are seeing. From Reid's August 11th post, "We sail on in beautiful weather almost in disbelief that each day and night can be more beautiful than the next. How many times can I see it before I become jaded or maxed out? I would like to believe that I have the ability to keep appreciating and being more and more grateful. The same with Soanya. She is so good and getting better. I have to believe that it's in me to keep treating her right and keep taking care to appreciate her. It's like questioning my ability to do the 1000 day voyage. I have to believe that I have the ability to keep going."

When Madonna was at her height of popularity I attended a personal growth workshop and the trainer asked us who gave Madonna permission to act the way she did on stage? Who told her she could be famous? She had a dream and she believed in it, just like the people I've mentioned above.

As Abraham says -- our true self, our inner self -- believes in our dreams and knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that we can have them. Only our own thoughts that we can't have it stop us.

And I offer this to you.

You are an expression of love walking the earth. You are adored by life itself. Your dreams are valuable, not only to yourself, but to all of us. You have permission to try, fall flat on your face, and like Thomas Edison, find the 1,000th way not to create a light bulb. You have permission to succeed. You have permission to change your mind. You have permission to dream. You have permission to love yourself just as you are.

We are wanting to awaken within you, your memory of how wonderful you are! How brilliant you are! How good you are! How worthy of whatever you are wanting you are!

Abraham-Hicks, 1/13/91

Nothing is more exhilarating than to dance through life recognizing that the Universe is there to yield to you whatever you want whenever you want it.

Abraham-Hicks, 2/12/94

No matter what it is, if you really want it, and if you get out of the way of it, it will happen. It must be. It is Law. It can be no other way. It's the way this Universe is established. If you want it and you relax, it will happen.

Abraham-Hicks: The nature of your Inner Being

So, your reason for being here is to be physically focused and connected to your Source for the purpose of taking the Source of pure, positive Energy beyond that which it has been before. That's how this physical earth plane got here. Somebody like you from broader, Non-physical perspective imagined a delicious physical experience, and in that pure flow of Energy it is come to be.

Abraham-Hicks, 2/13/93

Once you emerged into these bodies, all of you did not come into this body, just a part of you. A part of your focus is come forth here, while a larger part of you, a broader part of you, a very much older, wiser part of you remains in Non-physical.

Abraham-Hicks, 1/13/91

Your Sixth Sense is your Inner Being who has a full view of all you are living, all that you have ever lived, and all that is in your future. Your Sixth Sense is your Inner Being with broader perspective of that which you are. Your Sixth Sense is your broad perspective, you can call it God perspective, you can call it Inner Being, you can call it Soul, you can call it spiritual guide. It is the Non-physical part of you that has very keen awareness of that which you are. Your Sixth Sense is your feeling barometer that lets you know the distance between what you want and what you are currently vibrating....your gut feeling.

Abraham-Hicks, 1/23/93

You acknowledge that your Inner Being exists? And we say to you that your Inner Being is very old, it has lived thousands of Life experiences. Your Inner Being sits now as the culmination of all that you have lived -- very decided, very sure and very happy -- in a place that by your standards, you would say is pure ecstasy. Your role, your work is to harmonize with you, which means -- think thoughts that make you feel good -- Speak words that make you feel good.

Abraham-Hicks, 7/4/91

You have an Inner Being within you, that has been walking with you all the days of this experience, who is aware of all that you want, and all that you are. We are wanting you to find a very real connection with that which you are -- with your broader Non-physical counterpart -- with your God-force -- with All That Is -- with your Higher Self -- with your Soul or Inner Being or whatever label you are wanting to assign it, so that you can be and do and have that which you've come forth to be, do and have.

Abraham-Hicks, 5/2/92 B

The only way for you or any to reach this place of understanding of this life experience, in the context in which it was intended, is to reconnect with who you are to gain that sense of the overall picture sense of the, I am and why I am here.

Abraham-Hicks, G 8/1/92

You intended to come forth into physical experience to live, to love, to laugh, to play -- to look for reasons to feel good!

Abraham-Hicks, G 6/7/91

Without your perspective, Universal expansion would not be. It's time for you to take credit for the important part you play, and yield the good stuff to yourself by virtue of your own self-appreciation... If we were standing in your physical shoes, a day would not go by that we would not make a list of positive aspects of ourselves, and of those that are closest to us that mean the most to us in terms of interaction. A day would not go by that we would not count our blessings, and express them in every way we could. In that acknowledgment, you bring yourself in alignment with how You really feel about you. How You really feel about you is absolute adoration. And if you ever feel anything less about you -- or about anyone -- you are not You.

Abraham-Hicks, 9/28/02

Take your Inner Being everywhere you go. If you take your Inner Being to the party, it's going to be a good party! If you take your Inner Being, the food that you eat will be received perfectly by the cells of your body. Every word that comes out of your mouth will be beneficial to everyone who hears them with their ears, or with their vibration. Don't go anywhere without your Inner Being. That's what "Allowing" is. Always having your Inner Being present. And then, anything else that happens is always orchestrated perfectly by Law of Attraction.

Abraham-Hicks, 2/17/01

Abraham-Hicks and The Brotherhood of the Fifth Dimension: Encouragement when you feel less than wonderful

We want you to hear that your tantrums are understood, they are, you're not supposed to put up with less than is wonderful, you're not supposed to be sick, you're not supposed to be confused, you're not supposed to feel bad, you're not supposed to feel unworthy.

That is not who you are!

We'll never be there but we want to tell you that we'd throw a fit to if we ever got there.

Abraham-Hicks, Ashland, 7/17/04

You are, in your natural state, vibrating at a very high, pure, fast vibrational rate. But when you choose a thought that is not up to speed with that, and you introduce or include that vibration in your vibrational mix, the result is that it slows the vibration of your being. Which is just fine. You have free will. You can do that all you want. But when you slow the vibrational content of your being, you feel the slowing. And what that slowing is is negative emotion. That’s what it feels like to you.

Abraham-Hicks

There is no reason to worry about your thoughts, for they are not like a loaded gun that wreak powerful and instantaneous destruction. For you have plenty of time - as soon as you become aware of negative feelings - to begin to choose other less-resistant thoughts and choose a more desired outcome.

Abraham-Hicks

The Universe is not responding to your reality. The Universe is responding to your perception of your reality and so when you deliberately take an emotional journey you offer a vibration that causes Law Of Attraction to respond to you differently.

See how it works?

It is our desire to help you to identify how you are doing emotionally or vibrationally because if you can improve the way you feel just a little bit your whole point of attraction shifts.

Abraham-Hicks, Kansas City, KS, 9/14/05

Rather than "What should I do?" we want you to follow the thought of your Source, and the thought of that Source within you is looking for things to appreciate. And we know that guidance always sounds like "should I go this way, or should I go this way?" when you understand that the guidance is about the direction of your thought, and you deliberately choose the better feeling thought, what begins to happen is that you get going with The Flow so well that questions about what to do answer themselves easily because it is so obvious what to do....the confusion goes away when the resistance goes away....when you say, "never mind what I'm going to do, how am I going to think about this? And you chose a better feeling thought about the subject, what happens is that The Stream is flowing so smoothly that all of the chaos and confusion from your life lifts from you and you have clarity about what to do.

Abraham-Hicks, Tarrytown, NY 9/30/06

We wish to give a message of hope to all. When you are on this spiritual path and obstacles appear, we encourage you to continue your work to align with the spirit of All That Is, the Holy I AM. For there truly is nothing else. So, what are these appearances? Perhaps they are the last of the boogymen that have plagued your thoughts for many years. Thoughts that are so familiar to you that you haven't even noticed them or thought they were important. You cannot be in the flow of All That Is and hold onto a boulder comfortably. So, if there is something that you have been unwilling to release, then it will come up for you -- it may manifest as a shadow of lack in some way -- lack in health, in finances, in relationships. The form of it doesn't matter, it is all the same source. The boulder is seeing the material world as the source instead of All That Is. You are to have all that you desire, but recognize the Source of good. That is all, that is simply it. And when you do that you will experience being in Paradise every day, for you are there. Turn your thoughts, in whatever way you are able, to that which is beautiful in your life, that which has been beautiful. Think of your perfect day and make it so today. Take something from that perfect day and enjoy it today. Enjoy fresh air, sunshine, love, something that tastes good. If you have something you are holding back in storage because it is too good to use...why not bring it out and use it today. Treat yourself well, for you are precious to us. We love you with an everlasting love. We are your Brothers in truth, we are the Brotherhood of the Fifth Dimension.

Abraham-Hicks: Energy alignment and health

A state of perfect health is simply a state of perfect balance - a state of Energy alignment.

When one holds a desire but his belief contradicts that desire he is not in a state of Energy alignment, and the fear of discouragement or anger he feels is his indicator of that misalignment.

When there is misalignment of Energy, there is struggle and tension. When the misalignment stops, a feeling of relief or ease ensues.

Lack of health is disease.

Allowance of health is ease.

The best assurance of physical health is deliberate alignment of Energies. And the most tangible way to discern this alignment is by making the desire for ease a dominant intention.

When Energies are in alignment, inspiration as to food, action, motion, exercise, supplementation and all else, will fall into perfect alignment.

If one does not take the time to align Energies, there is not enough medication, exercise, or action to make any difference.

If one takes the time to align Energy - perfect action is always inspired.

Abraham-Hicks: How the Law of Attraction works with your internal guidance system

You are including many things in your vibration, some of them you want to include and some of them you do not. But because you are not remembering that you are vibrational beings, you don't tend to your vibration. You tend to wait until things manifest and then you deal with what is manifesting. And this gathering is about helping you to realize that you are vibrational beings and that you are vibrational transmitters and receivers. Law of Attraction is matching all of these signals up and the way you control your experience is by deliberately offering your vibrations.

What you think and therefore what you feel, which is an indicator of your vibration of thought, and what manifests is always a vibrational match. No exception. But, if you wait until something has manifested we call that post manifestational awareness. And it's not all that helpful because 99%, more than 99%, 99.99 and even then some percent of every creation is complete before you begin to see physical evidence of it. So, you have creations well along the way before they begin to show up in your experience.

Once something manifests -- while you always have the ability to be where you are and to move from where you are to where you want to be -- once something has manifested and you get that habit of observing "what is" going, then the tendency to continue to perpetuate "what is" is a very strong tendency.

We want you, as you are visiting with us in these hours that are before us, in these days that are before us to come to the most keen awareness that you have ever found that you are the creator of your own experience. And that you create by deliberately projecting your thought. We want you to realize that as you give thought whether you are projecting your thought about the past or about the present or about the future, whether you are observing or pondering or musing or imagining, whether you are wondering, whether you are having a conversation, whatever it is that you are focused upon is causing an activation of a thought vibration within you. And Law of Attraction is responding to that thought vibration.

So, it works like this, the contrast, which we mean the variety. The things wanted and not wanted. The things really wanted and the things really not wanted. The contrast of your time and place causes you to come to conclusions of your personal preferences or your desire. It just happens. It's the way the entire Universe was established. It's not something that you need to work at or learn to do. If you were the one-celled amoeba in the ocean you would be having your experience and those personal preferences would be being born within you.

So, as you evaluate or even observe or even move around in without conscious awareness, as you are moving through contrast, your personal desires or preferences are being born. And they shoot, we like to call it like rockets of desire, into what we lovingly refer to as your vibrational escrow. In other words, they are there being held for you waiting for you to become in vibrational alignment with them.

Now this is something you may not have heard from us before. We really want you to get this because it's the basis of the way your guidance system works. When your contrast causes you to desire something or prefer something -- in the moment that that preference is born -- Source Energy agrees with that preference.

How wonderful is that? Do you realize how known you are to be leading edge genius creators? Do you understand how worthy you are known to be? There is no question or no misunderstanding on the part of Source Energy that you -- out here on this leading edge of creation -- have the ability, the wherewithal, and the right to have an experience which causes you to conclude your personal preference.

And when that preference is concluded, when that preference happens within you -- even if you don't speak words about it -- when that preference happens within you, a vibration emanates from you and Source becomes immediately one with that vibration. So, now there is a strong current or signal that is pulsing within you.

Jerry and Esther have navigational systems in their vehicles. And the way they work is the computer in the coach and the antennas on the roof let the satellites in the sky know where they are. So they program in their destination and then Magellan calculates the route between where they are and where they want to go -- and then gives them turn by turn descriptions, both verbally and visually. Magellan never says to them, "where have you been?" Because it is not relevant where they have been. Magellan has only one function: to determine the route between where they are and where they now want to be.

Your emotional guidance system is exactly the same. You are where you are and you have desires within you constantly that are being held for you in vibrational escrow. So those same two points of vibrational relativity are there for you. And your emotional guidance system is based upon those.

So day by day, experience by experience, you have preferences born. You know how it works. Someone is not nice to you and you want them to be nicer. You're not nice to someone -- you wish you had been nicer. You don't have enough money -- you would like more money. You're disorganized -- you want to be more organized. Your body doesn't feel good -- you want to feel better.

Constant information being sent for Source to align with. And so there is this constant steady projection of your intention that is born from your day-to-day experience and Source is saying, "Yes, we agree. Yes, we agree. Yes, we agree. Yes, we agree." And do you know what that agreement means? That means that all of the resources of the Universe are put toward your achievement of whatever it is that you've set in motion. In other words, there is nothing that you cannot be, or do, or have. If this time-space reality has the ability to inspire that desire within you, this time-space reality has the ability to deliver it. And Source, who is in alignment immediately, not only with what you just said but with everything you've been projecting...oh, what a magnificent array of creations are awaiting your alignment.

That alignment is what we call the art of allowing. It's bringing yourself into vibrational alignment with what you have projected and Source is agreeing with, that is in your vibrational escrow. And the better you feel the more in vibrational alignment with it you are. And the worse you feel the more out of alignment with it you are.

. . . . . . . . . . .

And you can tell by the way you feel what you are systematically moving toward. It's wonderful that you live in an environment with this glorious buffer of time. It's so nice that your thoughts do not instantly manifest. There would be much more for you to deal with than you really want to. It's such a lovely thing that you have this buffer of time which means 99.9999% of everything is complete vibrationally before you begin to see the evidence of it.

So what happens is often you are well along your path to whatever it is you are wanting. But because you are not taking score based upon the way you feel -- you often are taking score based upon what you see manifested -- many times you are well along the way, nearly on the brink of a manifestation -- but as you stop and take score and see that it has not yet come, then your vibration comes to one that is reflected by disappointment. And then you are moving in the opposite direction.

[Abraham gave the analogy of Jerry and Esther driving from Phoenix to San Diego. They don't get discouraged in Yuma because they are not in San Diego. They don't turn around and go back to Phoenix because this physical journey is clear to them.]

But sometimes we see you in a body that has been given a label of sickness, finding some optimism or some hope, and moving well along your way to full recovery because there is nothing that you cannot be, or do, or have. But because the manifestation is not evident yet and because it's not showing up on the doctor's scans or tests, your assumption is that you are not on your way to recovery. And when you get the remarks from the doctor regarding the test you freak out and turn around and go back to Phoenix.

We see you struggling in not enough money -- finding a vibration just out of sheer willpower or desire -- doing a pretty good job of lining up with it, and we see your financial future turning around. We see you moving steadily toward the increase in dollars that you want. And then something happens that causes you to look abruptly at what is and you find yourself focused upon the lack or opposite of what you want. And the disappointment or worry or even anger surges within you to indicate that you've lost your vibrational bead on your vibrational frequency and you are turned around and are going back to Phoenix.

emotional guidance system described

On the end of the scale that feels so wonderful to you is your perception of freedom. It's your perception of empowerment. And the reason that we say that to you is because your freedom or your ability to be free is really not in question. You are so free that you can choose bondage. But if you are not aware, it is your perception of freedom that is important. Because you are the one projecting thought.

So on the good feeling end of the scale is your perception of freedom. On the not so good feeling end of the scale is your perception of disempowerment or not freedom. And as you understand that basis then you understand that as you improve your place on the emotional scale you feel a feeling of relief, because each time you move even the slightest bit on the emotional scale the subsequent feeling to you is one of releasing resistance. And releasing resistance always feels like relief.

So there is allowing on the good end of the scale. Resisting on the not good end of the scale.

When we say we want you to make peace with where you are we really mean that because it doesn't matter where you are on the emotional scale in relation to where anyone else is on the emotional scale. The only thing that matters is your vibrational relativity. In other words, you are the one that has been living the life that has been letting the Universe know what it is you are wanting relative to every subject imaginable. And you are the one living your life right now, thinking the thoughts, having the conversations, beating the drum and, here is the key word, activating the vibration within you that is either matching that or not matching that.

And so as you are paying attention to the way you feel, you can get a very good sense in time of how well you are doing in bringing yourself into vibrational compliance with what you have already established over there in your vibrational escrow.

. . . . . . . . . . .

When you want more money or you want an improved bodily condition or when you want a relationship that just knocks your socks off and you're just standing in the middle of a conversation with yourself or someone else and you're complaining about not enough money or something about your body or something about your relationship, that negative emotion that you feel that you may call fear or you may call worry or you may call anger -- that negative emotion that you feel is your Magellan that is saying, "Please return to the highlighted route."

Abraham-Hicks: Befriending our body and our relationship with food

What is the perfect food? We would say there is not one, other than water. We encourage lots of that for all of you. Drink as much water as you can get into your body, and then eat anything else that feels good to you.

We would, for a little while, step away from the subject of food altogether in terms of trying to make anything happen. And we'd get as happy as we can relative to other aspects of our life, until we could feel that our cork is floating mostly about most things. And then we would say, “I'm going to befriend my body. I'm going to become a friend with my body. I'm going to make my body my friend.”

That is so essential: making your body your friend. Most of you are afraid of your body. Your body feels like something that might trick you. It might get run over, or it might make the wrong decision, or it might die too early, or it might get a disease in it, or it might do something, after all, it has all kinds of mysteries. You can't look into your body. You can't see metabolism. You can't see what’s happening with the cells. You don't really understand your body. And your body frightens you in most cases.

We would like to help you to know that your body is oh, so well meaning. Your body is so well orchestrated. You see, your body is trillions of cells that are vibrationally interacting with Source Energy. And if left to their own without a lot of static in your vibration, your body would only thrive.

In other words, the basis of your body is one of true and utter thriving. It has no reason to frighten you. It is the greatest evidence of Well-being that exists anywhere in your physical experience. It is an extraordinary mechanism that’s come together from great deliberate intent from so many Non-Physical and physical creators.

And every one of you who stands in your body, continues to enhance the experience of the physical body. This is an evolution of a species that is extraordinary. Your bodies are not to be feared. Your bodies are to be revered. Your bodies are to be applauded. Your bodies are to be maybe even amazed at. But they are never to be feared.

Your bodies are not vulnerable. They’re not fragile. They are resilient. They are flexible. You have the ability to come into alignment again and again and again, and if anyone in the Universe understands that, it’s the cells of your body.

Befriending your body is the only way we know of coming to understand that your body is resilient and that it knows what to do, and that it will be whatever you ask it to be. But you have to ask it to be that in a place of nonresistance. It’s the most significant information that we have ever expressed relative to your physical body and food. You must love your body, and then lovingly give it the food. And when you love your body and lovingly give it the food, it matters not what food you give it.

Abraham-Hicks on how we influence others and my experience with a cord cutting technique

Nobody can get inside your head and make you think. Sometimes it feels like it, because they're clamoring in your face so loud with whatever they're saying. But you have the ability, if it is your desire, to feel good. You have the ability to withdraw from whatever thought is bothering you, get off to yourself, and reclaim your connection to Source Energy. And that is the freedom that you are looking for.

You have the ability to look here where there is not resistance. Jesus said, to turn the other cheek, and that's exactly what he was talking about. Resist not evil. Turn the other cheek -- and achieve vibrational harmony with that which feels better.

All of you have access to Source Energy! It is always within you, always radiating through you. Sometimes you are providing a shadow that doesn't let it shine, more than others, and sometimes you are letting it shine fully. But the more you are letting the fullness of who you are radiate through you, the better you feel about everything -- and the more you are contributing to the whole of things. However, in any case, you cannot get it wrong!

Abraham-Hicks, Phoenix, AZ -- 3/21/99 and Silver Springs, MD--4/11/99

I wrote about a physical decluttering I went through in April and it paved the way for a mental decluttering. I've been reading Abraham-Hicks for over three years now and have changed my thinking quite a bit. But what has come up for me in the last few weeks are old conversations from my childhood up to fairly recent times -- conversations that never were cleared, but just hung around like a 60's polyester dress in the back of the closet.

I would find myself having arguments in my own mind with the speakers, aware that it was more than slightly ridiculous to be having these conversations from years ago. At this point it's just me resisting me and didn't feel good. I attempted quite a few techniques to clear my thoughts, including talking to some of the people involved, and that didn't feel good either. I felt stuck. Ok, then. This morning I was just plain ready to let the memories and thoughts go. I'd had it. No working on them. Just get them out the door and on their way.

I was drawn to several things, including looking at a blog that was new to me, mysticalgraffiti.com by David Wechsler. David's May 21st post described a cord cutting exercise to release negative feelings and it appealed to me. I had learned a similar technique in the 70's and 80's when I lived in Virginia Beach, but haven't used it for many years. This morning I changed from thinking my way to well-being and energetic techniques like EFT to moving my arms, visualizing, and speaking my intentions while in the shower. I used David's exercise this morning to cut the cords of my negative thinking about conversations and experiences that had happened with others in the past.

I appreciated the cord cutting exercise this morning because it was physically expressed and it can be powerful to change modalities. Give it a try by writing affirmations with your non-dominant hand or make a song and dance of them. Write a play of a dream and have friends act it out. What a difference that can make if you are in the "audience" watching your dream. Something new engages our attention and allows us to "turn the other cheek" to well-being.

My day has gotten better and better. Thank you, David, for the light that you are and for each of you who touch others lives in ways you may never know. Just know that you do.

I had three quotes that wanted to be included together in a post. I didn't intend to write anything myself, just post the quotes, but I discovered I had something to say. I started to delete the last two quotes because they didn't seem to fit with what I had written, but they insisted on being put back in this post. So, here they are. More wonderful, inspiring, loving words by Abraham-Hicks:

You are a very powerful influence. Any of you are. When you understand that well-being is the basis of your life and you begin looking for the positive aspects in everything you focus upon and you have people around you who are living life experiences and they become your object of attention and so you are observing them from your place of connection, from your place of positive expectation, they get swept up in some of that current of well-being. And unless they are really resistant to it which almost no one is really resistant to it, then they benefit from their exposure to you who knows this stuff. That's what upliftment really is. In other words, when you feel well being and nothing freaks you out, and you know that everything is all right no matter what and you see someone in trouble and you feel humorous about it, its much better for them than if you feel tragic about it. The better you feel, the better everyone around you benefits and the greater the benefit to those around you.

Abraham-Hicks

You are powerful beings in your influence as you are connected, and it is important to realize that -- you see, when you are praying on behalf of another, what you are really doing if you are in alignment with Source Energy is you are saying, "Source, I would like to use my vortex to focus well-being toward the fulfillment of what this being truly desires".

And so if this person has absolutely made a decision that they are no longer wanting to be in this physical experience, if their decision is they are wanting to make their transition, no amount of your focusing could alter that, because you can not step on their creative toes. So what you are doing is acting as a catalyst or adding focused energy towards the fulfillment of what they are wanting.

Abraham-Hicks: Appreciation about money

I'm doing very well in my life. I'm happy to be in this body. I'm glad I came. I like life on planet earth at this time. I'm appreciative of the environment in which I live. I like the abundance that surrounds me. I like the platform of well-being from which I get to choose. I'm sorting all of this out. I'm realizing that there’s not a rightness or a wrongness in having money or not having money, it’s just a preference that people are aligning with or not. And I like coming into vibrational alignment with my preferences about money.

What is it about having money that I like? I like the freedom that it allows me. I like the context of choices that it provides. I like the arenas that it opens to me. I like the feeling of expansiveness that it gives me. I like having all of those choices. And I adore the idea of having the flexibility to be and do and have more of those things.

I love this planet. I love the idea of exploring it. I love tasting the finest aspects of it and I love getting to choose what those are. I love this benevolent universe. I can feel that my source is calling me toward this abundance. And I can feel when I go, and I can feel when I don't. And all of that’s alright. It’s not wrong to have dollars or right to have dollars. It just feels one way to align with my own desires, and it feels another way not to align with my own desires. It’s only about that.

I'm not making a statement to the world about what they should do about dollars. I'm not condemning people who have them, or critizing people that don't have them. This is only about ME and my gap relative to this subject. And I can feel that my life has caused me to put some things in vibrational escrow that I've been holding myself apart from. But now I know what I'm doing. And things are coming in. And I'm getting the hang of this and I'm doing rather well at it. And I can feel the influx of energy. I can feel that my stream is calling and I can feel that I'm more willingly going with it. And I can feel that on many subjects I've let go of the oars. I can feel that I'm coming into alignment. I have seen the evidence of my improved vibration in many different aspects of my life. I have seen the improved vibration of my being in the aspect of money in my life. I know I'm understanding this. And I think I'm making too much of all of this. I'm happy that I understand it. I'm going to look for more reasons to feel good. And I'm going to enjoy watching the abundance flow to me.

I'm hoping to see more evidence of the abundance flowing, and I'm believing that I will. In fact I have already seen some of it. This is going to be fun. Nothing’s gone wrong here. Everything’s right on track. I'm doing just fine. I'm happy where I am. I'm pleased with what I know. I'm happy to apply what I know. I can't get it wrong. I never get it done. Isn't life fun?! Don't you love money?! Don't you love money flowing?! Isn't this a wonderful world?!

[Audience bursts into joyful, enthusiastic applause!]

Abraham-Hicks, San Francisco, CA, 2-24-07A

In this quote, Abraham is demonstrating how to think our way into the good feelings of alignment with money. They call it a rampage of appreciation. This technique can be used for anything that we desire or just for feeling good. Abraham has said that appreciation is the closest energy to Source.

Abraham-Hicks: We create by what we think, whether it's real or imagined.

Whenever I think something in the physical world is real or when I have thoughts about family, politicians, or what any other "they" might be thinking, I remind myself of this Abe quote:

The Universe does not know whether the vibration that you're offering is because of something you're observing or something you're remembering or something that you are imagining. It just receives the vibration and answers it with things that match it.

Abraham-Hicks, Napa, CA, 2/27/97

If I'm thinking something that doesn't feel good about myself, the world, or people, this quote is a really helpful reminder for me to change my thinking.

Abraham-Hicks speaking to the mother of a beautiful baby girl

GUEST: People here know that you have helped me create my beautiful baby girl who is the most joyful, sparkling thing I have ever seen in my life. Now if you could take it a step further and tell me everything you know about how to treat her at this stage in her life, or remind me of everything that I know.

ABRAHAM: Treat her as if she knows. Honor her ability to choose, and trust that, in time, she will learn how to choose. Teach her, through the clarity of your example, which means, you cannot teach her connection unless you are connected. Do your dominant interacting with her when you are feeling your very best, and any time you don't feel that good, make yourself scarce from her.

When she asks questions, applaud every one of them, and if you don't have the answer, still applaud her question. And let her know, early on, that the knowledge that she seeks, and the good that is natural to her, will come from all kinds of places, not only through you. Encourage her independence from you, as quickly as you can, so that she can discover the thrill of creating on her own.

Fill her with words of encouragement. If you find a moment of dissatisfaction with her, swallow it. Do not speak it. But let the desire that is born out of that, roll across your mind in the night. Develop it fully until you have visualized a full picture of what you know she is wanting, relative to any subject. And once you have come to feel familiar about that, then begin to express it to her.

When you speak to her, always speak what you feel. If you don't feel good, don't speak. If you are always speaking what you feel and you are only speaking when you feel good, what you are doing is always opening a vortex that connects with the Energy and always flooding it into the relationship that you are having.

If, as she grows, she finds something that displeases you, and you feel that it is your job to correct her, and you do, and you feel the negative emotion that is within you, know that, in this moment of teaching your child, your Inner Being is not there with you. Come to trust the way you feel, and express to your little one only in your times of connection. There is plenty of contrast out there for her. And in doing this, what you will teach her is what it is like to be with someone who is, for the most part, connected to Core Energy. You will give her an up close example of how well the Universe responds to someone who's in vibrational harmony with Source.

It is not your job to protect her or guard her from anything, because there is nothing to be protected from unless you make it part of your consciousness. As she grows and begins to interact with others, there will be plenty who will be offering that information to her, and when that begins to occur, do not push against it. Do not feel that her connection is fragile. It isn't. She can get back to it easily. Impart to her: Her connection, that she is living fully now, and that you are learning or relearning and living much of the time, is not a fragile thing. You don't have to protect anyone from anything. Mostly, just get happy and stay there.

GUEST: I'm so busy because I'm working full time and I'm a single parent, and everything's going very nicely. I used to take three or four hours before I'd get those 17 seconds going. But when I did it, it was great, and it obviously worked. Now I may have five minutes. She's crying. Or something's going on. I know that I can do this. I'm just not real snappy at it yet.

ABRAHAM: Well, you get better and better at it. But here's a very strong statement to chew on for a while: Your child would benefit more from your full schedule, where there are all kinds of things that you are focusing on, that are drawing Energy through you, than if you had long leisurely afternoons with not a thought in your head, only to bask and pamper yourself and her, because what she benefits most from is the Energy that flows. And so, the busier you are, the more things you have to think about, the more decisions you're making in every day, the more Life Force is flowing through you.

GUEST: So it's okay? I don't have to worry as long as I'm appreciating, because I feel like I need to create for two now, because she's such a little sweet thing.

ABRAHAM: Well, in truth, she is the more dominant Creator now, because in her freshness and newness, there is pure desire that flows through her. And so, you are sort of swept up into the vortex of that Well-being. The most important thing that we are wanting to impart to you is: Your child is not fragile, and it is not your job to protect her from anything. It is your job to appreciate her, to appreciate all things, to let life flow through you, to live your life and let her live hers. She is very little and it's hard to imagine it, at this point, but these are the things that she would want us to tell you. What she wants you to know is, it's going to be a great life, and it's going to be more fun all the time. And that, every day, nearly so, there will be a new experience and that there will be no ending to the unfolding of it. And for you to stand in your now and try to anticipate that would be utterly overwhelming.

GUEST: So, I don't have to plan?

ABRAHAM: You don't have to plan anything. All you're wanting to do is focus. Stand where you are in your fresh wanting, offer it to the Universe, and let the Universe respond. Give her an opportunity to see a Deliberate Creator fully involved in one's life. Your connection with her was set into motion by the intentions you put forth before her birth. She understands you. She understands all of this. She will not be a child that you will have a difficult time explaining these things to. She already understands. In fact, it will be second nature to her, and by the time she is ready to communicate, and by the time she is old enough that she's really wanting to get off on her own, you will have figured it out. And she's counting on that. The conversations we have with her go like, "Abraham, by the time I'm really ready to get out there and roll, is my mom going to understand that all is well, enough, that she's going to let me do it?"

The loving, positive truths of Abraham-Hicks and Unity

There are so many loving, positive people offering workshops, retreats and information about creating the reality we desire. It's getting better and better! I wanted to share information about some that I've had personal experience with.

I have always found the writings, services, and prayers of Unity church to be positive and loving and they have always fit right in with my concepts of reality creation, especially Abraham-Hicks.

Abraham-Hicks

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

So as you are focused on something right now, an idea or something that you are looking right at, and you feel wonderful as you give it your attention, that means that right here and now you, and all of you, in other words, you and the Source that is you, is having this moment in time. You are literally the eyes and ears and nose and fingertips...you are literally the taste buds for that which you call God. You are Source Energy in physical embodiment and when you feel good you are allowing all that you believe is God to flow through you in your powerful now. Abraham-Hicks, Ashland, OR, 7/19/03

...Well, in the sense that Nonphysical Energy flows forth to all of you, and you are all part of that source of Nonphysical Energy that is flowing, and in the sense that as you are here as physical catalysts to inspire one another to appreciate, which connects you with that same Energy of which you all are -- you are all related in the sense that you are all one. Different perspectives and projections of one.... Abraham-Hicks, Houston, TX, 01-23-94

You cannot be separated from that which you are calling God...People hear us say, "Reach for the thought that feels the best." And they think, "Oh no, I need to listen to what God wants." But aren't we talking about the same thing? Abraham-Hicks, 9-18-04

You are the creator of all that occurs in all of your life experience.You create your physical life experience through your thoughts. Literally, every thought that you think gives birth to a creation. Abraham-Hicks, 2/12/94

Wikipedia lists the five basic principles of Unity:

1. God is the source and creator of all. There is no other enduring power. God is good and present everywhere.
2. We are spiritual beings, created in God’s image. The spirit of God lives within each person; therefore, all people are inherently good.
3. We create our life experiences through our way of thinking.
4. There is power in affirmative prayer, which we believe increases our connection to God.
5. Knowledge of these spiritual principles is not enough. We must live them.

As thinking is believed to affect our reality, positive thinking is another important tenet in Unity. "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (Mark 11:22-24) is interpreted to mean that what one believes is what one receives, and that if one holds a belief that is not what one wants, one is, in effect, praying for what one does not want.

Unity is discussing the Law of Attraction and The Secret on their website.

I have called the Unity prayer line many times over the years. The person answering asked how they may pray with me and when I told them, it has been an amazing experience. The person I spoke to seemed to know the exact words I needed to hear right then. As I said, it is always positive and affirmative. They put my name in their prayer room and pray for 30 days and I've always appreciated knowing that Light-filled support was coming into my life. The Silent Unity prayer line is 1-800-669-7729 in the United States. International callers can check the Silent Unity website for the number to use.

When I lived in Virginia Beach in the 1980's I was a member of the Glad Helpers Prayer Group at the Association for Research and Enlightenment. We did energetic healing for people who were there, but also prayed for those who requested it. And I've done Reiki and energetic healing at other times in my life. It is one of those delightful experiences that feels as good to give as to receive so I'm very open to it and Unity prayer line is a treasured resource for me.

Myrtle and Charles Fillmore began Unity in the late 1880's. Myrtle studied spiritual healing in 1886 and healed herself of tuberculosis. Charles became interested and they went on to study new thought and create the Unity church. This commitment to healing continues today at Unity Village, Missouri, 1,400 plus-acres of sacred space for retreats, meditation, and prayer, where they are planning a holistic healing center.

Retreats are scheduled on spiritual transformation, unleashing your inner beauty, expanding your consciousness, intuition-developing your inner wisdom, creating the life of your dreams, celebrating your essential self (a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender retreat) and more. Visit www.spiritpathonline.org for more information.

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.

Hay House publishes books by Doreen Virtue, Esther and Jerry Hicks for Abraham-Hicks, Louise Hay, Stuart Wilde, Shakti Gawain, Jane Roberts, Neale Donald Walsch and many, many others who speak about creating our lives in a positive way. They have good discounts on their books, DVDs, and other offerings.

If you are interested in Abraham-Hicks information at Hay House, do an author search on Hicks, Esther and Jerry. There is a 30% discount on the Abraham-Hicks DVDs, The Secret behind the Secret.

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.

Abraham-Hicks quotes copyright by Abraham-Hicks Publications. For more information visit http://www.abraham-hicks.com/

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.

Thanks to True Nine for this quote posted on Dearer Still is Truth.

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!

Abraham-Hicks: You don't create with action

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