Evaluating Dreams

What you think about and what manifests in your life experience is always a vibrational match, and, in
the same way, what you think about and what manifests in your dream state is always a vibrational
match.
Your dominant thoughts always match your manifestations, and so, once you understand the absolute
correlations between your thoughts, how you feel, and what is manifesting in your experience, you can
then accurately predict everything that will come into your life.
It is nice when you are aware of your thoughts and therefore aware of what you are creating before it
manifests, but it is also of value, after something has manifested, to then acknowledge the thoughts that
led up to it. In other words, you can make the conscious association between your thoughts, feelings, and
manifestations before the manifestation occurs or after the manifestation occurs. Both are helpful.
When you dream about something, it is always a match to the thoughts that you have been thinking. And
so, since each of your dreams is, in fact, your creation, it is not possible for you to dream about anything
that you have not created through your thoughts. The fact that it has now manifested in your dream state
means that you have given it a significant amount of thought.
The essence of the way you feel about the things you think about most will eventually manifest in your
real-life experience— but it takes even less time and attention for it to manifest in your dream state. And
for that reason, your dreams can be of immense value in helping you understand what you are in the
process of creating in your awake state. If you are in the process of creating something that you do not
want, it would be easier to change the direction of your thoughts before it manifests than waiting to
change your thoughts after it manifests.
The process for Evaluating Dreams is as follows: As you go to bed, consciously acknowledge that your
dreams accurately reflect your thoughts. Say to yourself, It is my intention to rest well and to awaken
refreshed. And if there is anything important for me to recall from my dream state, I will recall it when I
awaken.
Then, as you awaken, before you get up, lie there for a few minutes and ask yourself, Do I remember
anything from my dream state? Although you may be able to recall different aspects of your dream state
throughout the day, usually the best chance of recalling your dreams is when you first awaken. And as you
begin to recall one of your dreams, relax and try to remember how you felt during the dream sequence,
for recalling your emotions will give you even more important information than recalling the details of
your dream.
You must give significant attention to any subject for it to become powerful enough to manifest in your
experience. And quite a bit of attention must also be given to a subject before it will begin to show up in
your dream state. For that reason, your more meaningful dreams are always accompanied by strong
emotion. The emotion may feel good or bad—but it will always be strong enough so that you wiU
recognize the feeling.
“How did I feel as that was happening?” If you have awakened from a very good-feeling dream, you can
be confident that your dominant thoughts surrounding that subject are pointed toward manifestations
that you do want. When you awaken from a bad-feeling dream, know that your dominant thoughts are in
the process of attracting something that you do not want; however, no matter where you stand in terms
of what is manifesting in your experience, you can always make a new decision and change the
manifestation to something that is even more pleasing.
It is truly more fulfilling to consciously create increasingly satisfying scenarios in your life experience than
it is for you to create by default things that you really do not want—and then try to turn those around to
things that you do want. For once something does manifest, then you have all that observing-of-theunwanted-
thing to deal with as well as the habit of thought that brought it about to begin with.

As soon as you begin to understand that your dreams are wonderful reflections of how you really feel and
what you are creating, then you can begin to deliberately change your thoughts in order to positively
affect your dreams. And as soon as you receive the positive dream, you will know that you are on the path
of a more positive real-life manifestation.
If you awaken from a bad dream, do not worry; instead, feel appreciation for your awareness that you
have been giving attention to something you do not want. In the same way you appreciate the sensors in
your skin that alert you to the fact that you are approaching something that is very hot, appreciate that
your emotions have made you aware that your thoughts are approaching something unwanted.
Now, you do not create while you are dreaming. Your dream is a manifestation of what you have been
thinking during your awake state. However, once you are awake and you are now thinking about, or
discussing, your dream, those thoughts do affect your future creations.
It is helpful to keep a written record of your dreams, but it is not necessary to be extremely elaborate in
the recording of the details. Record the general setting where the dream took place, the basic people
who appeared in the dream, what you were doing in the dream, what others were doing in the dream,
and, most significantly, how you felt within the dream.

Dreams can give you a wonderful insight into your current vibrational state of being. Your recall of a
dream is your physical translation of blocks of Non-Physical thought that you have interacted with in your
dream state. When you sleep, you reemerge back into the Energy of the Non-Physical, and you have
conversations but not conversations in words, but vibrational ones). Then, as you are awakening, you
translate that block of thought back into its physical equivalent.
Sometimes when you have wanted something for a long while but you do not see any way for it to really
happen, you will experience a dream where it does happen. And then, in the pleasant recollection of the
dream, you soften your vibration of resistance—and then your desire can be fulfilled.
Many years ago, Jerry and Esther were mutually involved in a business enterprise, but they were not
romantically involved. They felt appreciation for one another, but there was not a romantic feeling
because neither of them would allow themselves to have that. Each of them, due to circumstances and
beliefs, had not even tiptoed into that arena of thought relative to one another.

Sara, Book 2

What can i say? Ask and its given! I was only saying to myself the other day how good it would be to find a book on a "fictional" basis that would give me same teachings on the Law of attraction as do the all the other books on the market. i walked into our local department store and there it was, "Sara Book 2" staring at me.I felt compelled to buy it even though i don't like reading a book if i havn't read the first to the sequel.It took me one day to read it and i was so grateful to the universe and E & J Hicks and Abraham for bringing me the book i asked for. Even though i have read so many books and watched so many dvds on the subject, this book was the most profound because its so real and obvious when you read it in a real life context. Everyone can relate to it and no matter what age you are. i've just ordered 3 copies of "sara book 1' as i'm certain it will be just as brilliant,inspiring, and wonderful as "sara book 2".Do yourself a favour and read it and give it your children. If i had a book like this to read when i was growing up, my life would have been SO different.

The Astonishing Power of Emotions

In the book, "The Astonishing Power of Emotions," Esther Hicks and Jerry Hicks illustrates the life-changing teachings of Abraham - the wise and visionary group of nonphysical teachers from outside of our realm--back in 1987.

In their first book, "Ask and It Is Given," they demonstrate how we are the creator of our own experience and that we can deliberately create with our every thought. In their second book, "The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent," the author emphasizes how we, as human beings can in fact gently guide our thoughts in the general direction of the things that we desire by the art of "allowing." In their third book, "The Law of Attraction," Hicks revisit Abraham's basic teachings to learn how we can attract all that we want by the most powerful law of the Universe.

NOW, in their latest and NEWEST book, "The Astonishing Power of Emotions," Abraham lovingly combines all of the Universal laws and shows us how we can gain conscious awareness of our emotions, so we can use our own feelings to deliberately bring into our life only the things we want. Hicks, in other words, believes that we can use the Laws of the Universe to solve all of our challenges and help us "go with the flow" of our natural Well-Being.

This is an AMAZING book for those who like to discover more about ourselves. I believe you do NOT need to have read the first three of their books in order to enjoy their latest book on the power of emotions. Overall, this is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED book of the year. A+

Self-Esteem Affirmations

When I first listened to Hay's affirmations (tape A as spoken words and tape B as subliminal with soothing music) in this recording, I said to myself 'Oh, my God... I don't want anyone to know I owe it...I am NOT THAT SAD', as I found them awfully embarassing (3 years ago). But then, recently I had experienced a really depressing phase of my life, a sort of middle-age crisis, feeling my confidence was totally destroyed. So I have played it while I was working (for only half a day for 2 days). Miraculously enough, not only didn't I find it embarasssing, but also I felt so poised and calmed that the panic crisis seems to be almost over now!! I am glad that I didn't have to rely on Valium.
Her guidance at the very beginning clearly said that the purpose is for ONE'S SUBCONSCIOUS MIND TO ABSORB THE MESSAGES which conscious mind would reject, which one should bear in mind. No wonder that such affirmations like "I am lovable because I exist" or "I am good enough just as I am" or "I love myself more and more evey day" sound too awkward to listen to when you are 'SOBER'. I doubt it's that useful if you CONSCIOUSLY try to remember the phrases as some of the reviewers suggest. However, I cannot deny this tape actually rescued me at subconscious level. Perhaps it may be the affirmations' power, or may be just the relaxing Hay's voice and the music that really helped me, who knows.

Heal Your Body

Author Louise Hay is a teacher, lecturer, and founder of Hay House Publishing. She contends that disease is caused by mental thought patterns, especially patterns of criticism, anger, resentment, and guilt. Festering resentments eat away at the self and can ultimately lead to tumors and cancers. Anger turns into things that burn, boil, or infect the body. A pattern of criticism can turn into diseases like arthritis, and guilt seeks punishment and leads to pain. In this book, Ms. Hay outlines hundreds of diseases and conditions, alphabetically, and the mental patterns that are associated with them, including each vertebrae of the spine. She has discovered these patterns through many years of study, her own work with clients, and her lectures and workshops.
She knows the power of healing by changing mental thought patterns firsthand: she was diagnosed as having cancer of the vagina several years ago. She was already a teacher of healing for several years, and saw it as an opportunity to practice what she preached. Despite knowing the power of replacing negative thought patterns with positive and affirming beliefs, she felt panic like most would at this kind of diagnosis. However, she felt that if she allowed the doctor to operate without changing the mental pattern that created it, the cancer would just come back. In fact, she believes that when cancer comes back, it's not because the doctor "didn't get it all", but because the individual never addressed the mental patterns that created the dis-ease in the first place.

In Ms. Hay's case, she had never acknowledged the deep resentment she carried for being raped when she was 5 years old and being battered as a child. As she says, we are often blind to our own patterns--even if we're healers or teachers.

Ms. Hay bargained with her doctor and asked for 3 months to work on the deep resentments and thought patterns that created her cancer. He grudgingly agreed, warning her that she was putting her life in danger. She began working immediately with a teacher to clear up her patterns of resentment, as well as working with a nutritionist to detoxify her body. Six months later, the medical profession agreed with what she already knew: she was completely free from any form of cancer.

She still keeps the original lab report as a reminder of how negatively creative she could be.

I have to admit, I never thought I would recommend this book to anyone. My first husband was a Charismatic minister who believed that words were powerful and creative, and taught this concept to his congregation. However, he contracted leukemia at age 28, and despite a lot of positive thinking and affirmations, he suffered physically and died. Entertaining the theory that he created his suffering, especially after believing in God, healing, and the power of words, made me mad. Very mad. I scorned Ms. Hay and her theories of blame.

So what changed my mind? I had a series of physical symptoms that I knew were connected to my beliefs and thought patterns. As a former Charismatic minister, I used to teach the same thing as my deceased husband. However, deep down, I don't think I really believed in co-creation, but just wished it were true--especially in the area of prosperity and "name it and claim it." After following a different spiritual path from the one in which I was raised and upon further metaphysical study and reading while working on my own thought patterns, I began to realize, deep down, that my thoughts were powerful and that there were mental and emotional correlations to my physical symptoms. It was then that I felt to give Louise Hay another try.

First off, let me say that Ms. Hay believes in taking full responsibility for your health without self-reproach of feeling guilty. The means NO BLAME. But if you're anything like me, especially one that struggles with guilt from being brought up in a fear-based religion, it's hard not to feel blame when exploring the ideas of metaphysical causation. Some people blame God or an evil entity for dis-ease, and others blame it on the environment, poor lifestyle choices or genetics. Ms. Hay doesn't believe in participating in self-loathing and self-blame when you get ill; this is yet another destructive thought pattern.

I bought Heal Your Body a few months ago, and I have to tell you, it's really helped me pinpoint issues I needed to acknowledge and work though. I was suffering sinus trouble, and sinus trouble supposedly correlates to being irritated by one person--someone close. I began to look at the fact that I held unacknowledged resentment towards my Autistic son because of the arduousness of dealing with his behaviors, as well as wishing my situation was other than it was. What mother wants to acknowledge she may resent her son on some level--especially a precious 4 year old with Autism? Yet, this is what becoming responsible for myself and my health entails: ruthless self-examination without self-judgment and self-blame. Then, it's possible to actually work on the root of the resentment, see where I was resisting reality and wishing it to be other than it is, and changing my mind and negative thought processes.

Needless to say, after a few months of working on it, the sinus trouble disappeared. (And it was plaguing me for many months.) I've had this work for me with other ailments, as well.

If anything, this book is a great starting point for examining our beliefs and thought patterns and observe if there is truth to Ms. Hay's correlations. If it doesn't seem to fit, sit with it awhile. Be honest with yourself. Allow yourself to explore the idea that it's possible. You may find some surprising insights into your health and your life, and begin on a path to a level of health that you never imagined possible.

It's Not What You've Got

 I had thought this was going to be a storybook but the book has a poetry type feel rather than that of a story taking place. The book is written in rhyme and addresses a new concept on each page. With each turn of the page, there is a new poem addressing a new value to teach your child. I found the illustrations very helpful for discussions with children, for example: the big house pictured by and apartment building on the page "It Doesn't Matter What They Have."

This book has the potential to be used across ages as young readers will most likely just enjoy the rhymes, but as children get older, parents can use the examples and concepts for discussions related to real life. There will always be someone with more... and always someone with less than what you have. Teaching children to be positive at all income levels will build their self-esteem, pride, and confidence through life.

Happy money appreciation day!

Wow, fun, I love to appreciate things in my life that add value, lift me up, makes things possible, bless those


I share with and give me opportunities to experience life in new ways! Money is certainly something that does that!

So here is a way to enjoy this day of appreciation and increase your attractiveness quotient at the same time!

Have you defined wealth for yourself? Once you define what that means to you, and you do it from within, not from your mind that is plugged in to the rest of the worlds thoughts and beliefs, you activate something powerful. It is like throwing the switch on your magnetic pole… all molecules of substance begin to morph into your desires.

1.Define wealth

2.See yourself enjoying it in your mind

3.Feel how you will feel when it is here

4.Fill your heart with gratitude and excitement of being wealthy  beam this out to the world at every available moment .

5.Celebrate Money… notice all the things you can do because of it and all you desire to do happening because you are so appreciative of Money that is wants to run to you!

A statement of limitless potential for you, repeat:

“I enjoy my deep sense of gratitude swelling my heart, filling with riches the Universe pours out to me. I open to receive the bounty that is within me and that is pouring into my life now.” Thank you Thank you Thank you

So celebrate money appreciation day, thank money, ask for money, share money…

Have a happy, grateful, day filled with cash rushign your way! Feel it…invite it, and open yourself to receive it!

Abe on the Belief in Genetic Impossibility

Q: But what about genetics. Why are some crippled and messed up when they arrive? If I could find a way to change my expectation, then could I become taller at age 37? It doesn't bother me being this short now, as it did in the past, but could I change it if I had the desire to do so?
ABE: In that irritative mode you are LOCKED OFF. How about finding ways to prove to yourself that the universe is responding to you, but start with something small. And as you begin to diminish the number of times you do THAT THING THAT YOU DO then you will have absolute control over anything you want to change.But as you express the desire-- you are really asking "could I do this IMPOSSIBLE thing?" and we say NO. When you desire to do something that you feel is impossible, you are wasting your time. To say I want it and I don't believe it is possible, is not a match. You must be a match to your desire with your BELIEF / EXPECTATION in order to allow it to come.If you look around you will see evidence all over the place of people who are letting it in and people who are not letting it in. And what they are DOING DOING DOING doesn't have anything to do with what they are GETTING GETTING GETTING. It only matters how they are FEELING FEELING FEELING! SO GET THE STRUGGLE OUT OF THE EXPERIENCE!When you realize that your life depends, that your very LIFE FORCE depends upon how you feel in any moment, then you will not be so willing to focus upon what feels bad. When you realize that every bit of attention you give to it, LOCKS you OFF.

Abe: How to Attract Beauty

When you focus upon the beauty of something, ONLY, and you activate the beauty of it within YOU so that it and you are one vibration,
It doesn't matter how much it costs and it doesn't matter how much money you have. That's a non-issue, that's irrelevant, because there's nothing in YOU that isn't a match to IT.

Ooo that was big.

The Process of Meditation

Any thought that you continue to think is called a belief. And many of your beliefs serve you extremely well: thoughts that harmonize with the knowledge of your Source, and thoughts that match the desires that you hold... but some of your beliefs do not serve you well: Thoughts about your own inadequacy or your unworthiness are examples of those kinds of thoughts.
Now, with an understanding of the Laws of the Universe and some willingness to deliberately choose thoughts, you can, in time, replace all hindering beliefs with life-giving beliefs, but here is a process that can give you the immediate benefit of changing your beliefs in a much shorter time. We call this the process of Meditation.
We playfully tell our physical friends that the reason we teach the process of Meditation is because it is easier for most of you to clear your minds, having no thought, than it is for you to think pure, positive thoughts. For when you quiet your mind, you offer no thought; and when you do so, you offer no resistance; and when you have activated no resistant thought, the vibration of your Being is high and fast and pure.
Imagine a cork bobbing on a body of water. (That represents the place of high, pure, fast vibration that is actually natural to you.) Now, imagine holding the cork down under the water. (That is what resistance is like.) And now, imagine letting go of the cork—and see it rise back up to the surface of the water. Like the cork, naturally floating on the water’s surface, it is natural for you to experience the high, fast, pure vibration, free of the hindering resistance. And, like the cork, if you are not doing something that holds you down under the water, you will bob right back up to the surface where you belong. In other words, you do not have to work at being in the high vibration that is natural to you, because it is natural to you. But you do have to stop holding the thoughts that cause you to lower your vibration. It is a matter of no longer giving your attention to things that do not allow your cork to float or do not allow you to vibrate in harmony with who you really are. If you are not focused upon unwanted things that are the opposite of your own pure desire, you will activate no vibration of resistance—and you will experience your natural state of thriving and Well-Being. A decision is the focusing of the vibration of desire, and the decision point happens when the desire is powerful enough. The only discipline that we would like you to exercise is to make a decision that nothing is more important than that you feel good, and that you are going to find thoughts that feel better. Your cork floating is the only thing that is worthy of discipline. You could say that the process of Meditation is a shortcut to changing your beliefs, for in the absence of thought, there is no resistance within you; and your cork, so to speak, bobs naturally back up to the surface.
Now, to begin the process of Meditation, sit in a quiet space where you are not likely to be interrupted. Wear comfortable clothing. It does not matter if you sit in a chair or on the floor, or even lie on your bed
(unless you tend to fall asleep when doing so). The important thing is that your body be comfortable. Now, close your eyes, relax, and breathe. Slowly draw air into your lungs, and then enjoy the comfortable release of that air (your personal comfort here is very important). As your mind wanders, gently release any thought, or at least do not encourage it by pondering it further—and refocus upon your breathing. You are, by nature, one who wants to focus, so in the beginning, this process of Meditation will feel unnatural, and you will find your mind wanting to return to things you have been focusing on previously.When that happens, relax, breathe again, and try to release the thought.You will find it easier to quiet your mind if you will choose small thoughts that do not have the potential for expanding into something interesting: You could focus upon your own breathing. You could mentally count your breaths, in and out. You could listen to the dripping of a faucet... In choosing the soft, gentle thought, you will leave behind all thoughts of resistance—and your vibration (like the cork) will naturally rise.This is not a process where you work on your desires, but instead, this is one of quieting your mind. As you do so, any resistance will subside, and your state of vibration will rise to its natural, pure state. As you quiet your mind, you may feel a sense of physical detachment. For example, you may feel no real difference between your toe and your nose. Sometimes you will feel the sensation of twitches and itches eneath your skin. And often, once you have released resistance and are soaring in your natural pure,high vibrations—you will feel an involuntary movement in your body. It may sway slightly from side to side or forward and backward, or your head may roll gently from side to side. Or, you may simply feel the sensation of movement or of a yawn. But any or all of these sensations or movements are indicators of your achievement of a state of Meditation. Your point of attraction will now have changed, and your state of allowing will be in place. Things that you have been asking for— all of which have been given—are now flowing gently into your experience. And as you come out of your state of meditation, this state of
allowing will continue until you focus upon something that changes your vibrational frequency. But with enough practice, those higher frequencies will become so familiar to you that you will be able to reclaim them whenever you choose.
Over time, if you meditate regularly, you will become quite sensitive to the way the higher frequencies feel within your body. In other words, whenever you focus on anything that causes a dip in your vibration, you will now be more likely to recognize it at the early, subtle stages before the dip is too significant— and you will be able to easily change your resistant thought in order to maintain your balance.

Questioner was uncomfortable with body weight.

Abraham: When you have not taken the time to line up the Energy, it doesn’t matter what sort of action you do or don’t do. You can’t buck that current. So what you must do is find the feeling place of that which you are wanting.
So what you would then say is, I really want to believe this. I really want to change this belief because I know that this belief is in my way. I would really like to believe that I can eat these things and still stay slender. And as you you say that, now that is a new creation. Now you begin to attract people to you that are eating those things and staying slender. And you say to them, "You must work out 1000 hours a day", and they say, "No actually I don’t do very much of anything. I’ve just always been slender. It is just the way I am". And then instead of having the impluse to punch their lights out because you are coming from lack, this time you willsay that is very interesting, this something I am coming to understand. Talk to me a little bit about it. And they will begin to tell you from a very early age or just last year they began to realize they have control of their bodies. That their body responds to their thoughts and to nothing else.So as you believe that food makes you fat, food will make you fat. It can be no other way. But as you begin to want it to be different from that, then you will begin to attract the evidence that will assist you in really believing it can go either way. There is not a constant. Food can be a fuel or food can make you fat. Your body can literally metabolize everything you eat into energy or your body can store it. Like the squirrel store nuts. It is up to you, you see.

Quotes about body weight

If you feel fat, you cannot attract thin."

- Abraham What is metabolism?Metabolism is vibration response to your moment in time. Metabolism is the way the Energy is moving through your body. And so, everything is in response to the way you feel-everything is. Everything is mind over matter. Every disease is mental first. Everything is about thought. Everything is about vibration. Everything is about the way you feel. Practice scenarios that feel good-and never mind reality. Reality is only a brief moment in time that you keep repeating.
Silver Spring, MD - 5/11/02

What can I do to make my manifestation happen?"

We don't know anybody that wants anything, whether it's a change in their body, or a physical condition, or a relationship, or an event, or a pile of money- we don't know anything that anybody wants that isn't for the same reason, and that is you THINK that in the HAVING of that manifestation you will feel better. And what we're saying is- you MUST find a way to feel better FIRST, then the manifestation will happen.
People say 'give me the manifestation and then I will feel good'- and we say, you probably would, but FEEL GOOD and then the manifestation will come. And if you can't feel good about where this manifestation is (questioner's body weight) then find other things that you DO feel good about. Use ANY excuse in the world."

San Rafael, CA - Mar. 15, 2009 workshop notes

Focus on the knowing that is – in the reality that is – in the vortex: worthiness, connectedness. Those core beliefs - have that be your reality.
Celebrate diversity.“You’ve gotta want to be in the vortex more than being right,” no matter what evidence you might have that you could use as justification for not going in there.“There is so much more to creation than action.” – not to take away action, “but when you count on your action for your creation you limit yourself incredibly.”** “Your hospitals are filled with people taking action to compensate for discord in thought.”
1st questioner: Wants to get into the vortex to find her lover.
Summary: You don’t get into the vortex to find your lover; he’s already in there. Get happy and then you’ll recognise him.
Abe – What is it about the vortex that would make you want to be in there?Talk about “How good could it be for me?” – When you get in the vortex the already written story is waiting for you – It’s already written. Talk about it further… What does that feeling of being there feel like? (For the questioner it’s feeling ‘On top of the world’) Now talk about that further: “I feel like…”You want to be independent and you’re full and whole in the vortex, but your beliefs say you need to be dependent.“The vortex is a swirling mass of cooperative components, of which I am now one.”What does it feel like in the vortex when you meet someone in alignment with you? When you’re in the vortex what’s in there equals you. When you get spit out of the vortex, laugh, dust yourself off, and go back in. No big deal.Focus on, what does it feel like in the vortex?
2nd questioner:
Left her husband because she thought he kept her out of the vortex. Wants to know how to explain her decision to him in a way he’ll understand.
Abe reframed it to her not having had the self-discipline to keep herself in the vortex and be happy while she was with him.“Being in the vortex is an inside-job, personal thing. Don’t give your power over to somebody.”They gave her a beautiful piece of what to say to him to explain it in a way he could understand. Was so sweet - they asked, “Would you like to know the words to say to him?” She, sitting there in tears, “Yes, I have my pen!” Abraham: “... And I didn't have the self-discipline to go there [to the vortex] when I was with you. I made you so big and important I gave you my power. But I remember who I am... Let me tell you who I know I am: I love to laugh, I am free, I am creative, funny, inspired, colourful... so many wonderful things. You tried to make me responsible for how you feel, every damn day we were together, and I'm not. So, I'm going to get happy. I know I can. And maybe you and I will decide to take another run at it.”That's all I wrote (I stopped at a point to just listen – it was compelling) but the finish was that maybe there will be a decision for another go, or maybe for a moving on, but I know it's my responsibility to be happy for myself, not to have needed you to be a certain way for me to get there.
3rd questioner: Wants to get in the vortex in relation to money.
Reframe by Abe: Wants in and doesn’t want what she thinks and believes about money to boot her out.
Focus Wheel 101 – The purpose of a focus wheel is to bridge a belief that isn’t working to a belief that is working – one that does feel better. Goal is to shift emotional response to something because when that shifts, your vibration shifts.Put what you’re wanting in the centre of the wheel. Then as an entry point to the wheel (first segment), write down something you already believe that matches what’s in the centre.Example centre statement: I want to feel prosperous, good, sure… I want to know and feel the ease of my prosperity.
Segment 1: I have felt the ease of prosperity before, and there are people who feel like I want to – and who before, were where I am and now have come to. Prosperity is possible.
Segment 2: I have wonderful clients who are prosperous and it’s lovely to be around them. (Abraham seemed to caution that for some people this could be a not-so-good-feeling statement, due to comparison, but for this woman it worked well.)
Segment 3: I like choosing what to do based on being free… based on whether I want to do it rather than on whether I can afford it.
Segment 4: These tense days are great – there will be a time when I’ll be shifted in my life and I’ll thank this contrast.
Segment 5: I’m good at what I do and I care about doing it well.Abraham used the analogy of the merry-go-round so many of us have played on, and how risky it is to try to get on when it’s spinning really fast! When it slows down though, you can jump on and keep your balance without being flung into the bushes because it’s starting too fast for you to keep up with. So, with your first segment statement, choose something you already believe about what you want.So it’s not the situation/circumstances of my life, it’s my response to the situation/circumstances. It’s a temporary – and catalytic – time --> reframe on contrast, with knowing that one day I’ll look back and thank it.* “When you’re in the vortex you’ll seem, by outside appearances, lazier.”For the most part, we learned what we know about money (and other subjects) from those not in the vortex.* When you’ve wanted something for a long time and you let go of resistance, it can come fast. Relax into it and stop doing that thing you do that keeps it from arriving.
Next question: Does Abraham have an Oversoul (like Seth speaks of)? There is an “out of the vortex” for Abe but we couldn’t discern it.
Next question: Is there a deeper place Abraham can go, to speak to humanity?
Abraham: Stop demonizing ego and embrace it as part of creative focus. When in the vortex, the response to ego is embracive. When you’re egotistically focused on things apart from who you are, it feels bad. You can also use egotistical focus to be connected with who you are, in order to go/get back into the vortex.
Questioner: “So it’s either you’re connected or you’re not.”
Abraham: “Period.”Don’t pretend you feel one way when you feel another.
4th questioner: Was in the vortex until she visited her parents and popped out.“We don’t want you to need anyone else to be necessary for you to be in the vortex.” It can be a good opportunity to do things like touch base with parents every so often (eg. go home), to see how you’ve done at being in the vortex. In other words, touch on a tricky subject after you’ve been in the vortex on purpose for a while, to discover how you’re doing.It’s a bitter pill to swallow when you’re an allower and loving someone who doesn’t allow you – but it is up to you. That’s where power and empowerment comes.* A lot of people not in the vortex resent you being in there and think you’re not taking their problems seriously. You need to decide that your connection with Source is your top priority because only when in the vortex do you fully have all of you to give to someone else.Think about those in trouble thriving. You could say to them, “I always knew ______ about you.” I have lists of things I’ve written about your heart, soul, future, humour, beauty, where you’re going, how glad I am we know each other, how good things are for you, your prosperity… Get in the vortex pre- face-to-face meeting. (I think it was the questioner’s sister she asked about, wanting her to feel better; how to focus on her.)
5th questioner: Asking about Feng Shui
Questioner: “I’m a little confused. People say if you use Feng Shui in your house and your life will go perfect.”
Abraham: “Well, then use it. And report back in.” (Funny)Abraham told the story about Esther with the crystals when she was told a crystal’s energy would help but she asked Abe which she should choose. “Well then, choose the biggest one. But then you’ll need to always have it with you.” (To me this is sort of like Dumbo discovering that he didn’t need the feather in order to fly.)Alignment is just about you and you, no more. When you’re in alignment everything must be good for you because Law of Attraction would give you no other than what you’ve asked for.* There can be energy misalignment in a space (and there are people sensitive enough to read it), but when you’re in alignment you walk in and the space aligns itself to you. Likewise, if you’re not in alignment and go into an aligned space, the space will mold itself to you. Your alignment trumps environmental (eg. home environment) factors. Absolute knowledge of your power is alignment.“We want you to understand, your planet has been Feng Shui’ed. It’s huge.”The way you deactivate something unwanted is to focus on something wanted – go to a “neutral zone”. A symbol can stand in as a help for that – something to focus on that you don’t have resistance to or pre-conceived notions about.

Abraham on the Multiverse and Alternate Dimensions

The purpose of Abraham's message is for us to live the most satisfying way we can here in THIS "dimension", and in THIS time-space-reality. When they are questioned about "other dimensions" they often don't dwell on the answer since, as I said, it is not the thrust of their teachings. When Abraham says "there is no competition", they are not referring to competing in a game or sport. They mean that there are ample resources available to us all, and that nobody can take your piece of the resource "pie". Anything you can desire, you can manifest IN ITS ESSENCE. So while there will not usually be two winners of a particular contest, all participants can and will achieve that which is a vibrational match to their offering. There is always another contest, another prize, another ship.. you name it. That is the thrust of Abraham's "there is no competition" teaching. You have chosen to come into this "dimension" (although this is not a word I've heard Abraham use frequently). You chose to come HERE to THIS PLANET and THIS TIME SPACE reality in order to experience HERE, the contrast that is available HERE. And... you can have THE ESSENCE of exactly what you want here in this "dimension". The specifics were not important to you when you came in. You didn't care which sports team won any particular game or competition. That you care NOW is a function of the contrast you are experiencing HERE and the choices you are making. Whether your team wins in "another dimension" isn't even relevant, since you have chosen to experience in THIS ONE.No, this doesn't limit you. Abraham says that anything - no exceptions - that this time/space reality has the ability to foster a desire for in you, it also has the ability to yield to you in full manifestation.Abraham's teachings are really VERY SIMPLE, and as I've found myself saying in several threads lately, when we over-think we run the risk of losing their beauty and profundity. If you let go of the specifics that you are asking for, and instead focus on WHAT FEELS GOOD, you will find that the Universe (IN THIS DIMENSION) has INFINITE possibilities to give you WHAT YOU WANT! The problem is when we get our "heart set" on a certain team's victory, a particular object, or a particular relationship, we are LIMITING the infinite universe! If we will instead, focus on our TRUE desire, which is to enjoy the ride, have fun and FEEL GREAT, then we will see that everything we want is TRULY available right here.Yes, you are right, to an extent, that Abraham says "do what you want"... but you are missing a large portion of their lesson if you focus only on that. More importantly, they are saying "follow your guidance", which comes in the form of emotions - either good-feeling, or not good-feeling, and by using that guidance, make your way through this life. If it feels good to do what your boss requests, do it. If it doesn't feel good, you can line up and make it feel better, or you can wait for inspiration to do something that feels better. Abraham does not say that you are "constantly moving through dimensions". In fact they are quite adamant that we chose to come here, we wanted to be here, and we created the physical circumstances and physical laws that govern our experience here because we wanted to enjoy THIS "dimension".

What realm Abe is from

Abe's response to questioner whose friend is wanting to know what realm Abe is from;
ABRAHAM: Tell your friend that Abraham explained who they are in this way:We are the vibrational essence that equals the culmination of all that has been lived both physically and non-physically. We are an energy that is expanding consciously and constantly because of the willingness of physical experience and its contribution to the neverending want or desire. We are the expanded version of who each of you are and we are the pure essence of that expanded version. We hold not any of the concerns that you hold but we have benefited from the concerns that you have lived. We are not stumped by your questions but we ride on the stream of your answers. We are notbothered by your problems because your problems have inspired the expansion or solution. We are as broad or as deep as the question that you ask, because Law of Attraction will not match you up with the part of us that is different than the part of you. We can only be aswise as your wisdom, as loving as your love and as smart as your brilliance. We cannot be more than you allow us to be. So when you find something in us that you seem worthy or wonderful or beneficial, you must understand that it is a pure reflection of who you are,because you could not get it from us if you were not it also.
We have enjoyed this interaction immensely.

Meditation and faith

A questioner asked about meditation and faith. Abe spoke about how to have faith in Law of Attraction. Notice when something happens. To increase your faith do these three steps.

1. Think thoughts, note your thoughts

2. Note your feeling about the thoughts

3. Notice what happens.

These steps make it easier to remember the power of Law of Attraction.

I'm Wasting My Life Stuck In Traffic

„I live in a big city with millions of people. And the traffic is terrible. I commute over an hour each way to and from my place of employment. And that‘s when things are going well. But there are times when I am stuck in traffic for hours because of road construction or an accident. I guess I could try to find a home that‘s closer to my work, but there are so many things for me to consider. It isn‘t easy to find everything that my family and I want, and a house that at the same time is near enough to my work to make that much difference. But I feel like I‘m wasting my life sitting in traffic.“

No matter what it is that people desire, one of the greatest hindrances that slows the process of receiving it, and sometimes keeps them from ever obtaining it, is their fixation upon where they stand in relationship to where they want to be. People will say, „I want to be over there. But here I am, over here“. And since here, where they stand, is so easy for them to observe, it usually dominates the bulk of the vibrations that they offer. Well, you may be thinking, „Yes, but this is a situation where I really am here, and I would really rather be there. And I can‘t physically pick myself up and transport myself to another location“. But we want you to understand that wheter you want to be well from your place of sickness, or slender from your place of fatness, or rich from your place of poverty, or flowing in traffic rather than stuck in traffic, the dynamics of creation are the same – when you want something and you believe that having it will make you feel good, if right now you feel bad, you‘re not moving toward what you want. You have to feel good now, no matter
what the conditions are, or the conditions cannot improve. You must make peace, so to speak, with where you are to allow yourself to move to a place you would rather be.
People often worry that making peace with an unpleasant situation is equivalent to giving in and accepting it, so that now the unwanted will only remain longer. But that‘s not what happens at all. When you make peace with where you are, you feel better, or turn downstream, so to speak, and flow toward what you do want.
Whenever you rive at discomfort or whine and complain, you‘re turned upstream, and away from what you want for the duration of your discomfort. The more you complain about traffic, the more you prevent improvement in your situation. Some would say that traffic is what it is, so your experience within it is not in your control. But there‘s nothing that affects you over which you have no control. However, you cannot affect positive change from your position of lack. Any action that‘s taken from a place of negative emotion will not yield positive results. If you‘re able to bring yourself from a position of discomfort into a peaceful position of feeling good, even though no outside condition has changed, in a short time the outside condition must change. If you continue to observe an unpleasant condition, making no effort to find a better feeling
way of seeing it, the condition will not only not improve, but the LOA will bring further evidence to support it. The things you are observing cannot change until you see them in a different way. Many people say, „Give me more money, and then I‘ll feel more prosperous“. We say, you must feel more prosperous and then more money will come.The key to deliberate creation is simply to decide how you want to feel and then to figure out a way to feel that way now. And when you do, everything around you will acquiesce to your new found
basis of attraction. The powerful LOA is utterly cooperative and absolutely precise.
A clearer route, or path, from where you are to where you want to be is always available. But when you‘re feeling negative emotion, you cannot find it. As you consistantly feel good, your timing will improve, new ideas will occur to you, road improvements that have been bogged down in commities will be freed up, work projects you‘ve wanted will show up around the corner, your employer will tell you that he wants you to work from your home. The resources of the Universe are vast and unlimitted, and now you have access to them. So begin where you are and reach for improved feeling thoughts.
 For instance,
Why would I choose to live in a place where I spend all of my time sitting here breathing in fumes?
I can hardly bear to sit here.
I want to abandon my car and just run off into the bushes.
We have offered this exaggerated example of how some feel as they‘re stuck in traffic in order to amplify something significant. The way you‘re feeling right now as you‘re stuck in traffic is rarely only because you‘re right now stuck in traffic. In other words, those who are pleased with how life is going, happy in their relationships, thriving financially, feeling good in their bodies, are not nearly as bothered about being stuck in traffic as others who are out there hanging on the raw and ragged edge of life, regarding other aspects of their life experience. However, no matter how you feel or how bad it is, and no matter what the reasons are why you feel so bad, your work is still exactly the same – from where you are make an effort to feel just a little bit of relief. If your discomfort as you‘re stuck in traffic is really only a feeling of frustration because you‘re stuck in traffic, you‘ll be able to easily bring youself to a better feeling place. And as you do so consistanly, day after day, while you‘re sitting in slow moving traffic, you‘ll begin to receive impulses that will serve you. Your timing as you enter the roadways will improve. Your impulse to exit the freeway and take the surface roads for a distance will serve you. In your state of alignment you will begin to move with other drivers in a sort of cosmic dance that you will find amazing and exhilarating. The entire Universe cooperates with you when you‘re in the flow of your own vibrational stream.
 For example,
I think that I will use this time to ponder some imortant things.
Since thinking is more important than action, I‘ll use this time of not much action to think.
It‘s fun to observe other people in the cars around me.
It‘s sort of like going to a party where you can see other people in other conversations even though you‘re not personally conversing with them.
It‘s fun to guess what they‘re discussing or what their lives are about.
I enjoy the wide variety of people, vehicles and stories that surround me in traffic.
I like the idea of using my own thoughts to create my own story.
I like the idea of my story radiating out of me and out of my vehicle.
It‘s fun to get tuned into my best feeling Self and then notice the other drivers that notice me.
It may very well turn out that my favourite part of life is slowly moving down this freeway,watching the evidence of my own vibrational offering.
And here is a new dilemma for a future discussion:
I sometimes miss the slow moving traffic, during which I did my very best thinking.

UTOPIA


We'd gather around

All in a room

Fasten our belts

Engage in dialogue

We'd all slow down

Rest without guilt

Not lie without fear

Disagree sans jugement


We would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and

Enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and

Open and reach out and speak up



This is utopia

This is my utopia

This is my ideal my end in sight

Utopia

This is my utopia

This is my nirvana

My ultimate



We'd open our arms

We'd all jump in

We'd all coast down

Into safety nets



We would share and listen and support and welcome be propelled by passion not

Invest in outcomes we would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference

Be gentle and make room for every emotion



This is utopia

This is my utopia

This is my ideal my end in sight

Utopia

This is my utopia

This is my nirvana

My ultimate



We'd provide forums

We'd all speak out

We'd all be heard

We'd all feel seen



We'd rise post-obstacle more defined more grateful we would heal be humbled

And be unstoppable we'd hold close and let go and know when to do which we'd

Release and disarm and stand up and feel safe



This is utopia

This is my utopia

This is my ideal my end in sight

Utopia

This is my utopia

This is my nirvana

Self-centered

Questioner:Can you offer us some words we can use to practice, when we are by ourselves that would shore up this notion of putting how we feel above what others think.
Abraham:I love you so much I don't care what you think!Think about what that is saying...I so care about being in vibrational alignment with who I am. Because if i'm in vibrational alignment then I HAVE love to give. But if I care more about what you want then my own guidance then, im not tuned in, taped in and have nothing to give. I love you so much I don't care what you think.
Arizona cd 4 track 12 1-3-2008

When someone adores you, in their appreciation of you their in alignment with source energy and they are flooding it all over you. And since its activated in them its activated in you, so you got this really good thing going.. But then as you become dependent upon their appreciation of you in order to feel that way- when they withdraw their appreciation of you, and you haven't learned to connect to that source energy yourself, then you feel like a puppet that someone has let go of the strings. And so if you're a confident person, if you shown yourself that your free no matter what anyone else thinks, and that you can feel good no matter what's happening around you, if you've been practicing that unconditional love that says 'I'm going to feel good because I wanna feel good', and I'm gonna scramble around by darn, and find something thats gonna make me feel good even in a field of things that don't feel good, because my connection to source matters to me morethen all other things put together- then nothing that anybody could ever do would set you off your game.>>>>You've been looking toward what others think, you've been trained that way, that you transfer that to your new love. You say I care so much about how you feel about me, that I will disregard how I FEEL. And then that one being the fickle one, LETS YOU DOWN, EVERY TIME. No one can hold you consistently as their object of their attention, as source would. Everyone is blaming everyone else for their own insecurity. We have to say YOU'RE insecure because you didn't decide to be secure. Your not strong because YOU decided somebody else was strong, which made you weak. You don't feel good, because you didn't INSIST on feeling good. And then you didn't practice it, and then you say YOU hurt my feelings. We would get in a place where our feelings are UNHURTABLE. We would be in a place where we are so connected to source that it didn't matter WHAT anyone was thinking or saying or doing!
Tarrytown workshop Oct 9 2004

Many say to you, "Don't be selfish."Many say to you, "Don't be selfish." And what they mean is, "Satisfy my selfish intent, not your own. I'd be a lot happier if you were doing the things I need you to do in order for me to be happy". And so, the best gift that you could give to anyone, would be to be a liver of unconditional love. In other words, you're loving them, even though they're not loving you because you're not doing what they need you to do in order for them to loveyou. But it is not keeping you from loving them.*Excerpted from the workshop in Kona, HI*

Do you know the relationship that you are all looking for? Do you know what it really is?You want the relationship between you and you. And when you meet a person who looks fondly at you, or who is appreciative of you, or someone you look fondly upon, or someone you appreciate, it just hooks you up to your Inner Being, which is what you want all along.So the relationship you are all looking for is the relationship between you and you. And everything else is just helpful in that, really.Don't you find that interesting? That what you really want is a reason to vibrationally connect with who you really are.And so, you ask so much of people because you say to them, "You need to be the one who causes me to feel good." And what we want to say to all of you is:If any of you are without the relationship of your dreams right now, that's a wonderful thing. Because now you have an opportunity to work on the relationship that really matters first and foremost. And then, in that connection, the relationship of your dreams will come.But you are going to discover the relationship of your dreams is really your own Inner Being. It's that infusion of clarity and confidence and wellness, that's what you are reaching for.And it is nice to have a human friend who holds you as their object of attention and adores you right into your connection. But we want you to experience greater independence than that. We want you to say to you lovers, "I love you, but I don't live for you. Because Source Energy flows through me. You are a catalyst to my well-being, but you are not essential to my well-being. Because I've got that figured out on my own. I have reached for thoughts that give me relief and I have relieved myself all the way into my full connection of who I really am. And now we can just dance and play together."Can you feel how you take them off the hook? In other words, do you know how many men would flock to you.? (ALL OF THEM!). If they knew that you would allow them to be as they are and you would not hold them responsible for your happiness.That's what everyone wants. How much bondage is there in believing that your happiness depends on me, so I've got to figure out what you want, and stand on my head in all those different ways, and it's not even possible!The greatest gift you can give anyone is to be happy. And we will take that further. The greatest gift you can give to any partner, past, present or future is to be so connected with who you truly are that they are irrelevant to your connection. And when they are irrelevant to your connection, then you are going to have a really good time together.
San Diego 2/7/04B

If you are not selfish enough to deliberately align with the Energy of your Source, you have nothing to give away. Some worry that if they take too much of the pie, others will be left with nothing; while, in reality, the pie expands in proportion to the vibrational requests of all of you."
Ask and It's Given cards

Extraterrestrials -Abraham quotes

"It's illogical when you understand the expansiveness of this Universe to believe the only physical beings live right here. There are many dimensions and many universes and many other planets, even within this Universe, that experience life in a similar manner to what you're living. In every sense that you all are real, they all are real, too."
"Everything that you have thought or everything that someone else has thought has been projected and is manifesting in some way. But these planets that have given birth [to human life] are all coming from core energy. It is life force, it is pure positive energy that launches all of that into motion.
"Now much that physical humans worry about or speculate about does NOT come from that Source Energy. There are all kinds of things that you worry about that you've launched in thought form fashion that become thought forms. They are thoughts that are connected with thoughts that are connected with thoughts enough that others can pick up on them. They are not physical manifestation in the sense that they have been launched from Source Energy.
"And it's difficult, as physical beings who begin to decipher non-physical energy, to discern the difference between that, because to you, anything that is not knock-on-wood physical then is non-physical. And we say that there's a difference between the non-physical thought energy that comes from the eternity of non-physical energy life force and the spin-off of man's conscious thought.... As civilizations on this planet, you do not hold your thoughts consistently upon anything long enough that you could create life form from this physical perspective. Those creations are always made from a non-physical point of view."
"And most of the aliens or alien life forms that people are talking about do not exist in a real life reality in the way that you do because they were not launched from the non-physical stream in the way you were. They are the spin-off of man's conscious, fearful thoughts....
"Yes, there are other physical beings that live in other dimensions. Do they interact with you here in a physical sense? No, they do not. But you can connect to them vibrationally through thought and you can have what feels like very real experiences with them just like you do in your dream state and in your out of body experiences.... They are vibrationally happening and therefore they feel real.
"But it is our promise to you that you will never in this physical dimension dig up one of those spaceships. You are not going to find the metal from other planets. You're not going to find any little bones. All of that stuff is conscious conclusion that comes from a premise that is not valid...."
"Most of the time, the conversations about aliens comes as a spin-off of man's conscious thoughts of vulnerability, not from connection to core energy....
"You did not come forth to contemplate the rightness or wrongness of this galaxy or any other. You came forth to find your joyous pleasure in motion forward right here and now. And that is the reason, we promise you, you are not going to be intergalactically co-creating."
