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."

Abraham ON WHY PEOPLE LIE TO YOU

If you feel drawn to someone, but you are annoyed because you think that they are telling you some lies, try to look beyond the lies and try to focus upon the feeling. People offer all kinds of words for all kinds of different reasons. Most lies are offered to try to keep things in alignment. We're not encouraging it, but the motive behind lying is usually a pretty honorable motive. In other words, when a child lies to their parents, it's usually because they want to be free to do what they want to do, and they don't want their parents to be upset about it. It's about wanting an alignment. Physical ears have a hard time hearing this. You keep talking about "We need to be honest." And we say, we don't meet any of you who are honest. Even those who claim to be the most virtuous, are not honest, but your vibration always is. We would trust the feeling more than the words.
Excerpted from a workshop in Houston,

Putting teens in a position light question...

ABRAHAM: It's not your job to make someone else vibrate. It's only your job to vibrate.
QUESTION: Does that also apply to parents raising rebellious teenagers--where they haven't had their own full life and maturity?
ABRAHAM: Oh, even more so. [laughter from the audience]
QUESTION: How should parents deal with guiding their children and their children's free will?
ABRAHAM: Yes, big topic isn't it? We'll give you the big picture here, and then we'll leave you to work out the details--which is the way it has always been. That's the joy of life. Here's the big picture. Here are these energies coming forth--these new beings coming into these bodies--these old beings coming into these new bodies with new fresh eagerness to experience. And here's the generation before them and one the before that and the one before that who have been banging around, who now greet this new clump of spirits saying, "Oh boy, if you knew what we KNOW." And they're saying, "Oh, no, we've come forth to remind you of what you've forgotten." And they're saying (the adults), "Oh if you only knew what we know. We need to tell you the paths we've been down so that we can prepare you for that path." And they say, "No, we have a different path. We have a different path. Our path is different." And they (the adults) say, "No, your path is the same is ours, and it has been hard in this way and this way."
What we are getting at here is that the generation gap will always be because it is divine. You come forth with a fresh eagerness and invincibility and a desire to examine the contrast without the biases that have been bogging everyone else down. Feel what it feels like to be born into this perfect environment with all of this to choose from and then have someone say, "Don't choose that. Don't choose that. That's a bad thing. That's a bad thing." What they are wanting to say to you is, "I have a
guidance system within me, and it isn't possible for me to choose wrong because if you will leave me alone, my intuition will let me know this feels better than this, and this feels better than this."
So as a parent who is understanding the law of attraction and the guidance system that is born within your children, what you are wanting to do--you have one goal and one goal only, and that is to be a catalyst, to assist them in connecting to their source. So much parenting happens from the place of seeing the child where you don't want them to be or where they may not want to be--and then as you see them there, losing your connection from source and then trying to guide them from your disconnected place. Every law, every rule in your universe whether it is secular or sacred comes from that place of disconnection. You have never made a good law, because every one of them has come from a guarded place of being more aware of what you do not want. What you are wanting to do is to understand that they have guidance within them--that if they are in tune with it, it will always serve them. Let your children know that you trust them. In other words, you are wanting to serve as an empowerer. The way to know how you are doing is to ask yourself, "Which feels better--that' s how your guidance system let's you know how well you're doing at fulfilling your intentions. So, which feels better? Your child is a teenager going off with a group of teenagers and you don't know who they are or what they've been doing on the Internet or what they have been thinking about. You don't know. So off they go. Which
feels better? To assume the worst or to assume the best? Which feels better? To be suspicious and to think they are sneaking around doing things they are not admitting to you, or to acknowledge that they have guidance within them and they know their own limits and that they are testing their own boundaries and they are discovering about themselves? Which feels better? To fear for them so that you lock them up and contain them and keep them from having experiences which might lead them astray, or to let them have experiences, trusting that is the only way they are going to get their sea legs, and that they cannot truly learn about life if they are not allowed to live life? Which feels better? To assume they have no guidance system whatsoever because they are too stupid--and so you need to make rules and then enforce them--or to understand they've got guidance within them that is with them every single moment and that if they had been encouraged by you to trust how smart they are, they would always make the right decision at the right time? Which feels better? To speak to them in these terms--"Now I know I'm older and wiser than you are and you really don't have enough experience to make the right decision, so go forth timidly and don't do anything without asking me," or to say to them, "You are born as a brilliant being with a guidance system and you have a smorgasbord to choose from and I'm exhilarated by what is before you and I know the decisions you make will always be appropriate for you." Which feels better? Ask them to live by your standards (which never worked for you)--where you say, "Here I stand in my perfection," or to say to them, "You never get it done--every place you stand there's going to be something more you want. And you have the potential to achieve anything you want." Which feels better? To limit them or to offer them expansion? Which feels better? To trust them or to doubt them? Which feels better? To love them or to worry about them? In other words, these are simple choices. Sometimes you say, "But Abraham, you don't understand the times in which we are living." And we say, "Of course we understand the times in which you are living. It's always been the same. There have always been those things you want and those things you don't want--and those things you want for your children and those things you don't want for your children. But the law of attraction has always been the same--when you say NO to anything, you are
including it in your vibration. So when you say NO to your children, NO you must not do that, what you are doing is making very sure that they are including in their vibration the very thing that you do not want them to include their vibration." And most of the time, they feel that. They may not know what is happening. They just know this dialogue with Dad or this dialogue with Mom does not feel good, and they want more than anything just to get out of that vibrational range. And they will go to any lengths usually to do it. And then you say, "My children are deceiving me. My
children are not minding me. My children are not respecting me." And we say, "Your children are following the guidance that is coming forth from within them, and if you will know that and trust that and encourage that and support that, you will find your children living expansive, exciting lives that will thrill you every step along their path."
What is the very worst thing that could happen to anyone? They could get disconnected from source energy. More parents are doing the very worst thing that could happen to their children through their negative expectations. Think about your own experience. Which do you prefer? Do prefer to be trusted or doubted? It's easy, isn't it? Do you prefer to be appreciated or criticized? Do you like it best when somebody sees your magnificent potential, or when they see you screwing up? What do you like amplified back to you? Your positive aspects or your negative aspects? So
as you acknowledge which feels better, which feels better--and then you always do that which feels better in relation to anyone who matters to you--you will always be the catalyst you were born to be--the catalyst to connect them to source energy.
Abraham Workshop Boulder, June 5 & 6

Who Makes the Diverse Laws of the Diverse Universe?

Abraham: When you think in terms of perspective, how do you separate the thought from the thinker? It's a tricky thing to do, because as soon as the thinker thinks a thought, now the thought is thinking. And as soon as the thought is thinking, by its vibration, another thought that is like it comes unto it.
So let's pretend that we are right back at the beginning of all of that, and there is something that is perceiving, and in its perception, it offers a thought (We're playing this *silly* game of going back to the beginning, as if anyone could.) Since there are not a lot of other things to contemplate, that first thought that was thought by this first thinker is very close to the same vibration as the first thought was. And so, now there is a coalescing of those thoughts, and now this thinker has a broader perspective than it did just a moment before. And so, as it now perceives, another thought is born and another and another. And so, now, as ("time" isn't the right word) experience, moves on... Sometimes we hear our physical beings talk about the Stream of Consciousness as being one stream or one thought. And it's very difficult for you to contemplate that, now that you are out here on this leading edge with so much diversity in your ability to perceive. Law of Attraction is the way thoughts respond to one another, and it has something to do with the vibrational familiarity of the thoughts as they are thought.
Now that you are out here on the leading edge, where you are further, it seems, from the root of the thought, there is much more variance in your vibrational frequencies. And so, All thoughts aren't coalescing into one thought again.Which is what the expansion of the Universe is really all about: The more thoughts that exist, and the greater diversity in their vibration -- then the more new thoughts can be born out of those never-ending combinations of thoughts.
Guest: Who is controlling the Universe and all the thoughts? Who is responding? In other words, who is God?
Abraham: There is no "controller of the Universe," but it is by your vibrational responses to one another.
