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."

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.

DEEP BREATHING IS A BIG PART OF YOUR WELL-BEING, It is the current that carries the vitality to the cells. And so, the more you are breathing, the more you are thriving. Fortunately, it’s not left to your conscious mind to prompt you to breathe. It just happens. But you can prompt yourself to breathe more. As you deliberately breathe in more, breathe in more... you will begin to expand your lung capacity, and in time you will begin to breathe more deeply, voluntarily and naturally—and your bodies will thrive. Breathing is the way life moves through your physical body. When concentrating on deep breathing, you are focusing on something positive, and so, while feeding the cells of your body, you are also aligning with Source Energy—and every body comes alive.

Examples on how to Relax and Allow

I include some Abe quotes on allowing at the end here...One time Abraham suggested making a list of five things that feel really good to you and doing them every day. Not big things, little things! Like sing in the shower, or hug your mate or pet your kitty or romp with your dog. Like appreciate ANYTHING or eat something yummy and really savor it or dance to the music in the elevator. There are so many things I love! I love my woods when I am walking by the creek in the stream park, I saw a beautiful young fox there yesterday sunning on a log when I went for a morning walk with my lovely house guest. I love the changing of the seasons and watching the sunset and seeing the crystals in my windows catch the sun and make rainbows on my carpet. I love to see the sparkles of the morning dew on the shiny dark green holly leaves outside my windows. I love that my mailman is friendly and nice. I love that my townhouse community has a beautiful pool that I will have available to swim in all summer. I love summer! I love the feel of the warm days. I love that my home is air conditioned. I love that I have a lot of wonderful friends. I love that I am enjoying the freedom of living alone and redecorating my home. I love that I have wonderful people to play with. I love that my friends make me laugh. I love that I am going on vacation to a gloriously beautiful place I have never seen before for my birthday in July with a new friend I made on an Abe cruise. I love that each day holds unlimited possibilities. I love that I continue to find things to love that I haven't explored yet. I love that I try new things, like joining a bowling league and a game players group. I love that I have ongoing dates with friends to listen to live music each week. I love that someone new invited me to sing with her this week. I love that I am finding my balance each day and feeling empowered to feel good through changing conditions. I love that I am connected to the Internet and I have access to this remarkable list. I love that I have met so many amazing people on this list who are friends across the world. I love that I have connected heart to heart with so many people, even though I have never met them in the physical. And I love that many that I have met in the physical continue to be exquisite "low-maintenance" friends across the planet who I trust to be having wonderful lives while I am having my wonderful life, and when we get together again, we will have fun. I love that I have a terrific dance video that inspires me to move and listen to dynamic music in the morning, and it is time for me to go do that now!That for me is allowing - savoring life, being in touch with what I love to flow energy toward - noticing and bringing to the forefront of my consciousness what I bask in and enjoy each day. Appreciation is the key to allowing for me. When I keep my thoughts busy appreciating, I don't have room for thoughts of lack and limitation. I am just captured by the incredible beauty of that flower arrangement on the table looking so sunny in yellow and orange that my friend brought to me yesterday...
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.
