Money or event?

Abraham:

"The attention that you give to your idea is not what creates the idea. Contrast created it.
The attention that you give to it is your effort and success at lining up with it. So when you get completely, vibrationally lined up with your idea now the impulse to act is so powerful you can't talk yourself out of it. There's no prodding or motivation that's necessary. In fact, the Universe is just yielding things to you and you're looking at them and you're FEELING powerful enthusiasm for it. If you don't feel enthusiasm for it, the energy isn't lined up and we would not take the action.

So an example would be, how would I win the lottery if I don't feel the urge to go and buy the ticket? You know what I mean?
Audience laughter….
Abraham:
Well, like that commercial says, if you don't play you can't win and so--
Asker:
That's what I mean--
Abraham:We understand that motivation and if you were looking at that one vortex as the avenue through which your abundance will come then we understand how there could be a sort of feeling of urgency about itWe're going to give this to you in a way that you can really hear it….If life has caused you to put a big request for a lot of money in your vibrational escrow and you're in the place where you're not even thinking about buying a lottery ticket because the means in which it comes is irrelevant to you, you're so sure it's coming…Now you're in that place. So then, when you buy the (lottery) ticket, it just feels like the next logical step. You don't get that big buzz or that disappointment from it. You're lined up with it you see. The words that we're wanting to find for you are these, when your desire, and your perspective about your desire are in alignment, it feels far less than the desire you all think desire feels like.It's interesting, what most people call desire is really a mixed bag of wanting something that I don't know how I'm gonna get it. You've become comfortable with that mixture, that feeling. So it feels like excitement, adventure, trepidation, uneasiness. When you want purely, there's no downside to it. It just feels done. It feels done. And there is an interest in the way it will unfold but not a strong interest because it's done. It's done. We so want you to capture the spirit of that which we know. When you ask it goes into your vibraitonal escrow and it is answered vibrationally and it is done. It's done. It's really, it's done. It's DONE. It's done, it's done, it's done, it's DONE, it's done, it's done we're getting carried away we want you, it's done, did we tell you, it's done, it's done, it's done it's done. Now if there's a part of you that says "no it's not" (audience laughter) I don't see it I didn't buy the ticket I don't have the money it's not done, that part of you that's saying it's not done is the vibrational contradiction that makes you do all kinds of things to justify the doneness of it and everything you do to justify the doneness of something that is done pulls you in the opposite direction. So if you were to say to us "I have been asking for a lot of money and I know it's lined up in my vibrational escrow and occasionally I buy a lottery ticket but the lottery tickets are not important to me because I know it's done. I know it's a done deal. I know that it's coming and I know the way that it will come will unfold and I am more excited about the unfolding and the fun of the unfolding than I am about the doneness of it because the doneness is so inevitable. It's done it's done it's done it's done it's done. When you say that to us, when you GET IT that it's done and now you just get the FUN it's sort of like do you go to the movies to get to the end of it (laughter)Do you say to your girlfriend "let's go to the movie" and she'll say "why" And you'll say because "I want to get to the end of it" (more laughter)Do you go on vacation to get it done? "We're going to 27 cities", you say, "I've got them all plotted out, when we've been to all of them, we'll come back home" and then you look at it and you say, "wait a minute, we're already home. We're done. No point in going, we're done." (More laughter)There isn't anything you're doing to get it done. You want to win the lottery; you want the pile of money. It's a goal that you want. We want you to understand that it's done and we want you to get your KICKS from the thrill of the unfolding of it, you see, because there is a big thing that goes screwy with everyone who says " I want to be over there but I'm not". And when they say, "I'll be happier when I get over there" that tells the whole story; they can never get over there. When being happy is contingent on getting over there they'll never get there.But if they say, "I'm looking forward to being over there" and someone says "why will you be happier?" and you say, "not really, I'm really happy over here." "Well why are you so happy over here when you want to be over there?" and you say, "Well, partly because I've seen what's over there and I'm positively anticipating it but there's so much wonderful stuff that I'm seeing that's over here and frankly", you say, "I'm looking forward to the journey between here and there, I think that was what I was born for, I think I was born for this eternal, expanding journey, you see."We know it's tricky because so many say, if I could just find the lover than everything would be alright, if I could just lose 40 pounds then everything would be just right, if I could just get my finances ion order if I could just move into that beautiful new house…if I could just, if I could just, if I could just…if it were not for this I would be happy, if it were not for THIS that I have my attention upon…We say, that's right, this LACK of what you want is so active in your vibration that it will not let you close the vibrational gap, you see.So, you got a bit more than you bargained for here with your wonderful question. People say "well how does action fit in" and we say it's the joyful way you express life but it's not the way you make anything happenAnd people argue with that because they say I see people picking up bales of hay and moving them over there and if they weren't picking them up…. we say, there'd be another way to figure it out. I see those truck loads of oranges, somebody is growing them and picking them and putting them and processing, there's a lot of action involved and we say yes there is action involved but THE ACTION OF YOUR WORLD IS NOT WHAT'S CAUSING THE EXPANSION OF IT. The creation of your world is about perspective and ideas it always has been, you see.So, when we say we want you to take action out of the equation, we don't mean stop acting, we mean stop making action important to the creation of something, MAKE IT IMPORTANT TO THE ENJOYING OF WHAT'S BEEN CREATED, you see. So, now take it further, we've sort of given you a basis.

Asker:I understand it's about the enjoyment of from where I am to where I want to be, okay.
Abraham:If you feel disappointed about where you are in relationship to where you want to be you'll never be able to be there. If you feel hopeful about where you are in relationship to where you want to be you've already begun closing the gap. If you feel eager about where you're going if you feel enthusiastic if you feel passion now you're on the way. If you feel discouraged you're not closing the gap. If you feel anger you're widening the gap. If you feel frustration you're sort of stuck right where you are YOUR EMOTIONS ARE YOUR INDICATION OF YOUR MOVEMENT. So what you're reaching for is satisfaction with where you are and eager for more.It's so strange, do you know the FASTEST WAY TO GET SOMEWHERE ELSE IS TO FOCUS POSITIVELY ON WHERE YOU ARE because step one which is your work life causes you to do that and step three which is your work are two entirely different steps.Follow this picture for a moment; you're really going to like this:So you were Source energy, you came forth into this physical body, you experienced contrast and in the contrast, you gave birth, you gave birth, you gave birth, you gave birth. Rockets of desires, one after the other, rockets of desires until you've created this vibrational escrow. Now FEEEL the power of that. Feel, feel, feel what it must be. Feel what it was even before you got busy in the contrast and feel what it must be now that you have been busy in the contrast and feel the exponential expansion of it. Now that LOA and the Source within you have focused upon it, feel the power of that, you see. Feel how big that is. We can see why you'd want to be part of that. Feel the bigness of it. Now, focus in a doubtful way about it and feel the discord. Feel how annoying this swirling magestry is since you're nowhere near it. Feel how unpleasant that is. In other words, such a difference between you and you. Really a strong pulling apart so-to-speak.But now, start speaking more optimistically even though you're sort of making it up and feel the little bit of relief that you feel as you begin allowing yourself to move in the direction of it. Now you still got this other swirling vibration going on so you're not going willingly but you are going because this is huge…when you croak it will take you right there. It's huge.
So now you're making an effort to be even more optimistic, even more positive about it. You're feeling better and better as you're coming closer and closer to it and eventually you'll come so close to this fast moving energy your breath will be taken away. You'll begin to feel exhilaration and excitement and passion and clarity as you get closer and closer to it. And once it catches you and sweeps you it will put you right into the eye of this vortex WHERE EVERTHING STANDS STILL. WHERE THERE'S NO FAST MOVING ENERGY WHERE IT WILL FEEL LIKE THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS ALL ALONG…Haven't you seen those kind of people with that kind of confidence…their tongues aren't hanging out, they're not worrying about anything. It seems that they say it and it happens and they say it and it happens and you're over there really annoyed at what you're witnessing with them (audience laughter). You want to let the Laws of Universe work for you, you see and the way you do it is by letting yourself get—granted it takes some work—in the vibrational proximity of who you really are and when you get close enough off you go and THAT"S the day you buy the winning lottery ticket, you see. THAT"S the day.Haven't been thinking about it, Haven't been thinking about it, Haven't been thinking about it, Haven't been thinking about it, Haven't been thinking about it, Haven't thinking about it, Haven't been thinking about it, Haven't been thinking about it, Haven't been thinking about it, Haven't been thinking about it, Haven't been thinking about it, Haven't thinking about it, Haven't been thinking about it.What'cha been thinking about?I'm happy, I like you, I like that, did this, having fun, liked this, liked this, liked this, this is good, I really like this, isn't that beautiful. Oh, look at this long list of positive aspects, look how good this is, look how good this is, allowing, allowing, allowing, allowing, allowing, Here's this thing over here, pulsing, pulsing, you're allowing, allowing, allowing, allowing, allowing, allowing, coming closer, all of a sudden, UUUUMMM, idea within you so powerful that wild horses could not keep you from it. You know it in the way that you knew you would be called on here today. You knew that. You lined up your energy, you knew it and we had no choice, you were far back there, we had no choice but to find you and bring you forward because you had lined up with what was swirling over there and the laws of the Universe said it MUST be so no resistance in your vibration so there it is, what feels like instant manifestation, it's not. You were getting closer and closer, you said for how many months? Three months you've been thinking about this. Three months you've been thinking about it, talking about it to yourself, thinking about it, getting into alignment with it, getting inside the vibrational escrow, being there, feeling it, knowing it. So it had to be it had to be all things work that way there is NOTHING that you can not be or do or have you just have to practice the thought of it until it is so familiar that it would be odd to think otherwise. Doesn't matter if it's through the lottery ticket or whatever, it's inevitable it must come and the Universe has 20 or 30 or 40 immediate opportunities line dup in any moment in time. Good."
