"Figuring it out" aka asking questions, aka Step 1

[Paradise-on-Earth]

I will try to collect quotes about step 1, step 2, step 3, step 4 and step 5 in different threads.

Right now I remember that Abe taught that EVERY time we try "to figure something out", it counts as a step 1, aka a question.

[Paradise-on-Earth]

Stop using the word "struggle".
Use a less strugglesome word,
like "I'm sifting".

It's all alright! Step 1 is a good step, too!

We want you to remember most of all:
The contrast, no matter how it looks in any moment, is contributing mightily to your expansion.

And the thing that you call things going wrong in your life experience
are actually only the distance between the things that are so right,
and your current perspective about it.

Abraham Hicks

When you know what you don't want, you know more clearly what you do want!

Abraham Hicks

[Paradise-on-Earth]

Now, how is it that you think you ask? With your words?
The Universe doesn't hear your words.

You ask with your desire.

The desire, that is born out of the Contrast.
That desire- that wanting, that's what summons the life-force.

Being "stuck" in step 1, because you do not realize that step 2 is always given!

Sometimes you don't recognize that it is done, And so you are still in that "I want"-phase. You'r still in that "I'm seeking".
If you could reach right now for that emotional version of it! Once you tune yourself to the emotion of it, the rest of it must reveal itself to you FAST. Fast!

Our Co-Creation with the Source-part within us
(How Creation really works in us humans having step 1 moments, and source answering =step 2))

You are mixing it up with others, and as a result, you are coming to a NEW DESIRE, that you don't have control over. It's too new! It's like, the Baby learning to walk. Or somebody getting behind a powerful machine, and not understanding how to run the machine. Iow, you are vibrationally and emotionally a little bit out of control. You'r a lot out of control, here in your physical bodies. You are... sort of out of control. You ARE out of control! (laughter of the audience as Abe settle for phrasing it this way).

So, you are doing what you intended to do! You are observing, and you are experiencing, and weighing the pro's and the con's, and the pluses and the minuses. And you are coming to awarenesses of what you want! And EVERY TIME life causes you to prefer something, it really is THAT simple... "'I'd rather have people be nice to me, and I'd rather be nice to people than not"...

EVERY experience you have causes you to launch a rocket, or a request, of desire, that this nonphysical part of you FOLLOWS precisely!

The nonphysical you is able to sort out from what you've sorted out, what you want, and hold that thought steady. So, that there is a point of attraction. That there is an immediate BECOMING! Did you follow that? We wanna say that in a simple way. You've kinda got the "2 you's" in perspective, yah?

So, you say: "I want more money."
And your IB (=inner Being) hears: "We want more money. He (the hotseater), therefore I, want more prosperity. "
You say: "I want it, but I don't have it. I WANT it."
LoA (=Law of Attraction) responds to you: "I want it, but. I want it, but. I want it, but..." So, you don't have any movement.

Your IB says: "I want it! I want it. I want it."
So, LoA responds to THIS aspect of you, AND LoA responds to THIS (the other) aspect of you! Which gives you the sensation of a tug of war. Because half of you is moving... it's NOT half. The wayyy larger part of you is moving towards your desire, or is allowing the desire to formulate around you, while this (other) part of you may not be doing that.

So (...where you come from, your IB...) is INVOLVED from a vibrational point of attraction, a point of you, about EVERYTHING that matters to you!

Abraham’s Insight Left Whole Crowd Speechless! Abraham Hicks 2024

[spiritualcookie]

As physical man asks questions, he receives answers.
And with those answers come new, broader, deeper questions.

For example:
The more he discovers about his Earth,
the more he realizes that he does not yet understand.

Rather than reducing the amount of knowledge that is not understood,
he increases it as his awareness of the vastness of the Universe and the complexities of his Earth plane unfold to him.

All of your Creating is happening in Step 1.
