Soul mates
Q: A person that I really would like to be in myl ife asked me to ask you when she's going to meet her soul mate.
Abe: Well, our answer to her is: when she no longer
thinks it's missing. (Pause.) Sound familiar?
Q: Mm-hm.
Abe: Our answer to her is: when she achievesvibrational alignment with that which is her soul,then she will recognize that which matches that. And until then, that soul mate could be right under her nose and she would not know it.
Abe -- Boston, MA, 10/2/04
Guest. So if your inner being could have concurrently be incarnated into a multitude of individuals in the physical format as we know it today, what are the implications of that in relation to your own individuality and stuff like that.
Abe. Well, you would have full individuality. In fact much of the time if one of those aspects were to run into another one of those aspects you would not even have a recognition of it. It is the true implication of the term soul mate or twin flame. When you are in a moment of true connection which just means that you have no resistance, your cork is floating, your energy is vibrating in that high pure fast place that is natural to you. And you were to bump into one of those other aspects that was the same energy and that physical human also was in a moment of appreciation and connection, when the two of you rendezvoused, you would have a strong delicious encounter. That's truly what that in love feeling is. That's truly what that feeling of coming home is. You know those people that you've met where you just feel so attracted and so at one that's what it is. But also, remember our vibrational meter that we talked about yesterday where when there is strong positive emotion,which means passion, which means true connection, which means strong wanting and no resistance and on the other end of that stick is that strong negative emotion, lots of times those people that are the raspiest, most hard to deal with people that you run into, they are soul mates too. And one or the other of you, and usually both of you,are not well connected to source and when you rendezvous you are on different wavelengths. And so there is a clashing. There is a powerful and strong desire and intent that in this moment is not being satisfied and when the two of you get together and see each other in your disconnection, sparks fly from the friction.

Abraham on Alignment
And are you refreshed? Now what?
Hey Abraham, I'm really glad to be hear and I umm, I really appreciate where I am right now. As you and I know, I've come a long way to my perfect health right now (said with much emotion) and umm, I have a wonderful relationship right now that I've always dreamed of and I've found work that I really enjoy that is uplifting to me and empowering and inspiring.
So, what's all this, mmmmmmm?
All this emotion? Okay. I just, I'm really appreciative of where I am.
But when you uhh, are, what is this appreciation laced with? In other words, when you are really tuned in tapped in turned on, there is not that other edgy stuff. What's that about? Remembering how far you've come?
Maybe.
You can't remember how far you've come and be in the new place at the same time. So, it might be some of that, yes?
Yeah, I mean, on this day in particular, I'm very very appreciative of being here now. And all the wonderful things that I get to experience. And its, and to me its because I changed my chronic thoughts, and I deliberatly chose new ones that served me.
Yes.
And you've helped to bring me further along on that path and so now I have all these fabulous things in my life that I'm enjoying.
You know, what we want to chew on here with you a little bit, and this is because you are in a good place that could be slightly better and let us tell you the difference. You are experiencing perhaps the best example of gratitude we've ever seen. But you are not in a state of
appreciation. And the subtle difference between gratitude and appreciation, is gratitude is looking back at what you have overcome, appreciation is looking forward to the becoming of that which you have set into motion. Nitpicking, perhaps.
I understand.
But really worth talking about,isn't it? Can you feel the difference?
Ya.
So, what brings you here to play with us today?
So I have these fabulous new businesses, and I want to attract fun people to play with me in these businesses. (voice is clear and much stronger)
Now, do you hear the difference in her? Suddenly she looked forward. Suddenly she looked forward into what's coming, instead of looking back to what was painful. Just thought we'd bring that up.
I appreciate that.
Because, because, because, life is about how you feel now, so you might as well feel as good as you can possibly feel, you see.
Right. So, I'm here wanting guidance on how I can look at that to bring about what I'm wanting.
Well the thing is, and we haven't really addressed this very much today, but do you feel that your life has caused you to complete step one? In other words, do you think in the contrast that you've lived that you have done a good job of asking for what you want?
Yeah, I mean I'm always asking for new things.
But, relative to this specific subject, do you think the asking for the business for the people that will work with you, do you think you've asked, do you think you have sufficiently asked? We do, in other words, we think that the life you've lived has caused you to ask. We think that you've completed step one, and step two is not your job at all, and step three is, source is amassing around that vibrational escrow, so step three is what your work is. And the reason that we are putting it you and to so many others for so long in this way, is because, the, what, the sort of projection of your question is what do I need to now do in order to get what I want. And what we are wanting you to understand is, what you want has already taken place.
So the question is not what do I do to create it, the question is what do I now do to achieve vibrational alignment with that which has already been created so that I can allow myself to rendesvous with all the other components at the point of creation. Did you hear the careful choice of words? In other words, do you accept that when you ask it is already done? Do you accept that when you ask it is given, not only is it given, but source is there tending to it, and that law of attraction is now pulling all components to that point of attraction. So, can you feel the difference in the way you want to frame the question?
Right.
What can I do to cause me to let go of the resistance that's the only thing that's keeping me from freefalling right into that vortex where everything that I've been asking for is. Because the answer to that question is so much easier than the answer to the other question, because the answer to the other question has no answer. How can I get to where I want to be? The answer is, you have to become a vibrational equivalent to where you want to be. So, describe to us what you are looking for. And then we will help you to build some emotional bridges to get there.
Mkay, I'm looking for growth in my businesses, I'm looking to work with fun people.
Alright, use slightly different words, I've already asked for expansion and fun people, rather than I'm looking for it, I've already asked for it, and it is there. Can you feel the difference - I've already asked for it and it is there, how do I, what's the next word? How do I get there, no. How do I make it come to me, no. How do I chill out so that I go there. What can I do to relax and trust, what can I do to believe in my own dream, what can I do to get to where I want to be, what can I do?
What can you do?
Right, so what can I do? Appreciate, allow?
You say that like,
Bask?
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, ooohh, that old crap. (audience laughter.) Doesn't feel meaty enough, does it? Feels, like, shouldn't I be doing more? Shouldn't I be struggling more?
Shouldn't I be making twenty calls a day? I mean, come on.
Shouldn't I be making more plans, shouldn't I be bloodying my head against the wall? Shouldn't I be, isn't there more that I should do? You mean all I have to do, well, finding the feeling place of where you want to be, so let's talk about this, because, this is a perfect, you'll feel this in a very strong way. So you get it, we've been redundant we know, you're source energy you bang around in your physical form, you give birth to rockets of desire, the source part of you tends it, the vibrational escrow is swirling, law of attraction is summoning everthing to that point of creation including you. So the question at hand is, how can I prepare myself to rendevous inside that vibrational escrow to the point that I can receive full blown manifestation, how can I get inside that vibrational escrow, how can I get inside the feeling place of that? So, the question sort of dictates the answer, you can feel it. How can I begin to feel, like I'm going to feel, once I'm there.
So, now you want to start playing with that. What does it feel like to interact with fun people? What does it feel like to have expansion where everyone is thriving and benefitting by the expansion? What does that feel like? So, what ideas do you have that, how could you get inside a
thought like that? Have you ever been in a situation that felt like that?
Yes.
When, where, who, who?
Uh, uh.
Details.
There have been times in my business where I've felt in that flow.
For example.
Working with people and talking with people,
More detail.
Uh.
I remember that time when. We were sitting where, and who,
I remember that time when a person who has an 85,000 name database said yes she wanted to joint venture with me. I remember how good that felt.
And...
And?
Well, we want you to milk that a little bit, we want you to get into that moment and remember it until you activate the vibrational equivalent of you now. In other words, your work now is to get yourself inside what that vibrational escrow feels like. You see, you've done most of the work, but you're over here and what you want's over here, so you've gotta find a way to get inside this and feel this.
Esther would say, even though it's not about business, I remember last weekend sitting around the small dining room table with son in law and daughter in law and two grandkids playing Uno and feeling the camaraderie as they knew how to play the game, taught it to us, and how fun it was catching on. And feeling the fun watching their little faces around watching them waiting to yell Uno because they knew that the likelihood of me remembering that I was putting down the card before the last one was not that good. And they knew that they were gonna get me over and over again. And the delight they felt when they got me over and over again. It is something that I will keep with me always the cooperative fun environment is what I seek in all things. I want my business to feel like that, I want my business to feel like the brilliance of that game, I want my business to feel like the fun of that game. I want the love that we were experiencing around that table to be present in everything that I'm doing, whether it's with family or with
friends, or with employees or with employers. I want that feeling of togetherness and appreciation of one another. I loved the feeling of that. That's what we mean by milking it.
Right.
Find something that felt good, and identify to yourself why it felt good, and then focus there, and feel good all over again because it feels good, and then just hold yourself there as long as you can in that feeling while you apply it to what you know is going on in your vibrational escrow. That's how you find the feeeeling place.
The example you gave was a good one. Someone showed up with a database and said, I will co-create with you. And the feeling of ease with which that came, the beautiful look on that person's face as we realized together that we had something to give each other and something from
which we could mutually benefit. And the sensation that ran through me was, ohh, things feel like, things like this that come so easily I have a sense that that's the way it is supposed to be. Holding yourself in the vibration of that by thinking about when it happened, and who was
there and what was the conversation. Just holding the feeling place of that.
The work is not hard. It's just a matter of finding something that feels the way you think you want to feel and focusing on it until you feel it, that's what the art of allowing is. That's how you close the gap, that's how you get inside your vibrational escrow. And so, subject after subject you just go there and mess around in it, and go there, and mess around in it. Use descriptive terms to get inside of it and before you know it, inside that escrow is where you vibrationally reside, and when that happens, now you can be the full blown recipient of everything that you have incrementally been putting in there, you see. It's all there, you've gotta find a way to match up with it and you do it by talking yourself into feeling as it feels there.
Mmmhhm.
Earlier we were talking about people will say, I want to get over there, and we say why, and they say because I don't like it over here. That's the opposite of what we are describing. You gotta get over there, you gotta make an effort to get over there, you gotta sorta kinda feel like it sorta kinda might feel when you do get over there. And you gotta talk about it until you do sorta feel over there. And the longer, the more you make, the more effort you make about feeling what it feels like over there, then the more you are over there vibrationally, and then, you see, the universe does not know if the vibration that you are emitting because of a reality that you are living or because of something you are focused upon. The universe at large and law of attraction does not distinguish between a vibration in response to reality and a vibration in response to a thought. So, if you can ignore the reality, and activate a vibration because of a thought that you are thinking, now all things are possible. And really fun as they come.
That's that I want.
So, now you know what to do. You want to do it?
So, it's focusing on the feelings that I want to feel with my successful and profitable business.
Yes
How that's going to feel.
Yes, but words like successful and profitable, the way you say that here, sounds like blublahblublabhblah . blaw blaw, blaw.
I thought it sounded really good when I heard it on your cd.
It sounds good, it sounds good, but you've gotta get inside of it. What does successful feel like, what does that mean? That means I've taken money out of the equation, that means money is irrelevant, that means all the money that I could possibly have any sensible use for is already
flowing. That means that I'm making my decisions whether I WANT to play there, not whether I CAN play there. That means I'm making the decsions based on whether I want to do it not whether I can do it or whether it's possible to do it. So, you just keep talking yourself into that
security, you see.
So, what does successful and profitable feel like? We know what the words sound like. And we know what it could mean in terms of it means this many dollars or it means this many employees or it means this much in gross or net sales. We get that. We wanna know what successful and profitable feels like. So we're gonna ask you some multiple choice questions.
Does it feel like stress or ease?
I would choose ease.
You would easily choose ease, wouldn't you? In other words, there's not even any debate there. Successful and profitable feels like ease, doesn't it. Does it feel like worry or certainty?
Certainty.
Does it feel like I wonderif it's coming or I know it's coming?
I know it's coming.
Does it feel like wouldn't it be nice if or won't it be nice when?
Won't it be nice when.
Does it feel like I never had any reason to worry or I'm grateful that I'm no longer worrying?
I never had any reason to worry.
Does it feel like it was always there for me I just didn't know where to look or it was always there for me.
It was always there for me.
Does it feel more like my success is certain, provided I do the right thing or my succes is certain?
My success is certain.
So, you get what we're getting at with you. You're trying just a little too hard. When you sat down, even as you began, that feeling of the struggle that you've overcome, as if there is some price to be paid, we want that to be a far and distant long memory. Because there is no price for you to pay. In other words, when you want it, source provides it, you've just got to convince yourself that it's time.
Our friend earlier talked about worthiness, and when we hear the word worthiness we want to soften it, in fact we would like you not to even talk about worthiness because every time you talk about it it activates a feeling of unworthiness in most of you. But, just feel the difference between, you - you - we can feel you feeling, especially as we asked those questions, you can feel of course, which is the option that we are rooting for.
But the question that we want you to ask yourself is, not the obv-, we don't want you to give the answer you think that we think is the right answer. We want you to feel your way to the best feeling answer. The words don't matter at all, you see. It's a sure thing. You can't miss. You know too much. You've lived enough life, you've put enough in your vibrational escrow that it must come to you and it's coming whether you allow it to come quickly or whether you allow it to take it a little while, in any case you're gonna have a fun time as it comes. So, the best way to speed it up is to savor what is. Savor what is and be eager for more. We think you've got it.
Appreciate it very much.
Yes indeed.

17 Seconds
Abraham says that a thought reaches a combustion point at 17 seconds of pure undiluted focus. It draws another thought to it and it is exponentially more powerful. At the end of another 17 seconds, 34 seconds total, the next thought combusts, and by Law of Attraction, evolves to a higher level of energy. Again another 17 seconds to 51 seconds continues the process, and finally, if you can continue a pure thought for 68 seconds on any given subject, it will be on its way to manifestation. The key word is pure, meaning positive focus, strong energy, no resistance; to not slip into lackful thinking.
Abraham says the average person rarely finishes a single sentence without contradicting their energy, as in "I want a new car, but it is too expensive." So they say most of us haven't had much experience with ever feeling the combustion of thought that comes from 17+ seconds of pure thought.
In talking about the leverage of 17+17+17+17=68 seconds of pure thought, Abraham offers the following information:
17 seconds is worth 2,000 manhours (about a year at 40 hours per week of action taken)
34 seconds is worth 20,000 manhours (or about 10 years...)
51 seconds is worth 200,000 manhours (or about 100 years...)
68 seconds is worth 2,000,000 manhours (or about 1000 years...)
That's two MILLION manhours (or womanhours!) If we can learn to offer pure thought energy for 68 seconds at a time, action becomes INCONSEQUENTIAL!
How to Get to 17 Seconds of Pure Thought:Getting to 17 seconds of pure thought purely mentally is harder for me than doing it either out loud or in writing. I find the discipline of speaking or writing helps keep other thoughts from being too distracting.
Abraham: "Focus on nothing is more important than you feel good. Period.
We would recommend that you spend the first week writing 68 seconds about things that you don't care much about, such as blue glass, butterflies, feathers. Because you will attract those things. This exercise will teach you two things: one that you can focus for 68 seconds; two, that the universe does respond to a pure vibration. When you have a level of confidence in the universe, then you can tackle your main issues.
We would every day, twice a day, write your 68 seconds about all areas in your life, relationship, abundance, house, job, etc. You will find it very easy to do. For instance, on your house, appreciate how convenient it is. Appreciate the thermostat that keeps the house at the perfect temperature. Appreciate the sewage system and the plumbing in your bathroom. Appreciate the comfort of it. Know that this house will be temporary, that you will have may others closer to the dream house you want, but meanwhile appreciate it. You see, there was 68 seconds.
So, all of you have major work to do in the next 30 days. Write as many 68 seconds as you can. And do it deliberately."
Abraham: "Realize that 68 seconds isn't hard to find. Throughout your day, you have thousands of opportunities to do your 68 seconds. Even if your work schedule doubled, you could still find plenty of 68 seconds? Now, Esther didn't believe us at first that 68 seconds were the equivalent of 2 million man-hours. She couldn't conceive it. But since there isn't anything that we have said over the years that wasn't true, Esther now believes it and uses it.
So, we want to ask you, do YOU REALLY BELIEVE when we say that 68 seconds is the equivalent of 2 million man-hours? Because if you did, YOU WOULD FIND THE TIME TO DO THEM!!!
Who would want to bang things into place, when they know that they can spend 68 seconds and have the universe do it for them? Nobody, yet it is what the majority of you do. You would rather jump into action than do your 68 seconds. You would rather jump into action than align up your energy."
"The Recipe for deliberate creation has 10 parts:
5 parts of appreciating what is
2 parts of imagining a little better than what is
2 parts of looking for things that would make you feel better
1 part of quieting your mind, relaxing and not trying so hard, being at ease at it"
Examples on how to Relax and Allow
You can feel good about the flower you are looking at, or the oceanthat you are looking across, or about the smile upon the face of thechild. You can be focused upon something like that and be feelingutter well-being. And in that moment of that basking, you are attracting the dollarsthat you want, you are attracting the abundance that you want, you areattracting the mate that you want; you are attracting whatever it is that you want. It is about vibrating and allowing, you see?
When you desire with belief, it's happening. When you desire withhope, it's happening slower. When you desire with doubt, it's so slow,you might as well think about something else.When you want something and you don't believe it, it's as good as notcoming! When you want something and hope, it's coming -- but you gottabe patient. When you want something and you know it's coming, patienceisn't a factor because it's coming quickly enough that evidence isshowing up all over the place. So your optimism is easy to feel whenyou see evidence.This workshop is called the art of allowing and what it really is isthe art of allowing your feeling of well-being before the evidence.The art of allowing your connection to what it is you want beforeeverybody else agrees that it's a sure thing.
We just think it would be so nice if you could just find some way ofreleasing the tension...the stance...the justification. ..thedetermination. ..of pushing against what you do not want. We just want you to care more about feeling good than about being right. How do you get into this competition for rightness... .when there is noend to the rightness that you can be? In other words, this shortage idea...this competition idea....this notenoughness idea...that has sort of been taught to you almost from thetime that you were born is so contrary to the way this ExpandingUniverse sees things. And so, the criteria that you are really wanting to use for guidingyour life is not, "Am I the most right?" or, "Is this what the mostpeople agree with?"; but, the criteria that you are really wanting touse is... "How is this affecting the vibrational relationship between me andme?...Am I allowing myself to go with the flow of my broader perspective?
"There is no limit to the nonphysical energy. So there are 2 factors:How much are you summoning through your desire to know?And how much are you allowing? And the allowing factor, mostly, notentirely, has to do with you own self-love.In other words, when you are really liking you it feels like thereare no limitations to what you can receive!"
Where you are really doesn't have too much to do withwhere you're wanting to be other than that it is theinspiration point from which your rockets of desirehave been launched. The more you are looking forward,the faster you move into what is [ahead]. The moreyou look backward, the more you translate into yourfuture things that are like those things that you werelooking back at.You get what you think about whether you like it ornot. You get what you think about whether you want itor not. You get what you are offering vibrationallywhether you are aware of it or not. So the art of allowing is nothing more than beingaware of your vibration.
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.
