Introducing the Abe Quotation sub-forum We've been noticing more and more members enjoying and sharing Abraham's words of wisdom in many different forms. The momentum of such generous sharing has caught our attention so we've created a place here on the forum to assemble such gems "under one roof," so to speak.
(HS asks if using the F-word brings down our energy)
Abraham:
Using this language, even if it's by some standards offensive, is serving them (who feel disempowered) because it's at least giving them a feeling of empowerment! It's much better than a feeling of disempowerment. And that is -in the majority of cases, why someone offers it.
It is their attempt at regaining their own power.
So, if someone displays this language in a way that you are hearing it, and they are in a position that they can hear you, say to them: "Good for you! Taking back your power!" But if someone is hopeful and then they are expressing rage, it's not so good. Because they are moving in the wrong direction. (...) That's when people are using it, just it became another "word". You can tell when you are using it to move into the right direction! And you can tell when it has no power within it.

Feelings & Emotions are Communications from your Inner Being
You Inner Being has been offering this communication to you
from the day you emerged into this body,
although most of you have been unaware of it.
Every emotion that you feel is literally communication that is offered from your Inner Being.
- Abraham
- In the same way that you have feeling sensors in your fingertips to protect your fingers from sharp, or hot objects,
your Inner Being often evokes feelings or emotions within you to guide you.
The discomfort of pain in your fingertips brings forth an impulse to act that prevents you from greater harm,
and in the same way, negative emotion is offered to guide you away from that which is not of value to you.
- You have come to define your emotions in very broad and detailed terms,
but technically there are only two emotions:
One feels good,
and one feels bad.
And these emotional feelings are present because your Inner Being has offered the impulse of thought that has triggered the physical response within your physical apparatus.

As physical man exists today, he is not getting all that he desires, and he is getting much that he is not wanting.
He does not understand how he is attracting what is coming to him, and so he looks outside of himself for the answers to that which is happening to him, and finds all sorts of targets to give the credit or the blame.
The more he offers blame, the more he reinforces his lack of control over his own life experience, and the more frustrated he becomes.
And from his state of negative emotion, he is now in a position of attracting more of that which he considers to be bad.
The predominant emotional state of most physical beings is that of negative emotions.
Therefore the predominant experiences that he attracts into his experience are also negative. For from his negative position he perpetuates more negative. (...)
How did man reach this point of being?
Primarily from lack of appreciation of self.
- AH
- Your Inner Being watches on, endlessly, knowing your desires, knowing your expectations, knowing you in every moment of your day.
When you focus upon subjects that delight you, the feeling of positive Energy that flows through your physical being is your feeling of connectedness with your glorious Inner Being.
As you take delight in your beautiful surroundings , or a glorious wild creature, or your own accomplishment, or your dreams, your Inner Being resonates purely with you, and you feel wonderful.
However when you focus upon the lack of something you want, when you find fault with yourself or with someone else, that feeling of negative Energy that flows through your physical being is your feeling of disconnectedness from your Inner Being.
When you choose thoughts that your Inner Being does not resonate with, you are standing here physical, and naked and along, and th feelings of insecurity or fear or loneliness that you feel are only indicators that you have diverged in that moment from who you really are.
The Process of Pivoting Away from Negative Emotions
The process of pivoting will assist you in changing your negative point of attraction to a positive point of attraction.
Here is how it works:
Whenever you feel negative emotion, recognize that your Guidance System from within is telling you two very important things:
- First, there is something you want, otherwise you would be feeling no emotion.
- Second, you are not looking at what you want, but in the opposite direction.
Recognizing this, say to yourself,
"There is something important that I want, but I am not looking at it. What is it that I want?"
You may continue to think along those lines by asking: "Why do I want this?"
As you ponder what it is that you DO want, and why you want it, then begin to envision yourself as already being in that position. Already being it, or having it, or doing it, until you feel the positive emotion come forth within you.
The more you apply this process, the more proficient you will become, and the faster the pivot will occur.
You will know or recognize when you have successfully accomplished a pivot when you feel better.
If you are feeling negative emotion,
you are, in that moment, attracting what you do not want.
- Abraham
- How to diffuse negative emotions via the Pivoting Process
Whenever you feel negative emotion, your Inner Being is saying two things to you:
First: "There is something that is very important to you here."
Second: "You are focused in the opposite direction fo what you want."
And then you ask yourself, "What DO I want?"
And once you have established what you want, ask "Why do I want that?"
As you think of what you want and why you want it, you will begin to feel the negative emotion subsiding, and positive emotion replacing it.
You will have accomplished an effective pivot.
You will have withdrawn your focus, your power, your feeling and your influence from that which you do not want, and you will have directed your focus, your power, your feeling and your influence precisely toward that which you DO want.

Allowing yourself to Wallow in Negative Emotion Allows Creation in the Direction of the Negative Things
"Sometimes, as you are feeling bad, you continue to remain there, chewing upon the subject that has brought the pain, thinking that you will get up or cheer up or begin your motion forward later, but that for now, you just want to remain here in this place, and consider it.
Most of you believe that you are "putting off" your creating until a time when you are feeling better.
And our point to you is that you are never "putting off" your creating.
You are in the mode of creating whenever you are in the mode of receiving and offering thought, and the emotion that you feel is your signal to let you know the direction of the creating."
Is a 11- day Silent Meditation a good thing?
The difference of "shutting up when OOTV", and "joyfully rambling from ITV"!
HS:
I'm going to a 11 day silent meditation, starting tomorrow. And I'm looking for advice of
how to take this time, to get the most out of it and springboard my life into bliss!
Abe (growling)
Well... the thing that's interesting about something as intense as that is, if you've trained
your mind to be very responsive -and you've trained yourself to be very communicative,
and so -to just stop communication, for... (pause, whispering: 11 days)...
HS:
I tried it once before, I made it seven, and it was profound. The results I got in those
seven days, and what I saw with it I can...
Abe:
We can see why! We can see why. Because... because in the no longer speaking,
there is less perpetuation of the momentum of a thought. Because there's no one being
your soundboard and an adding to it. Our advice is... our advice is- don't go!
[Applause, HS laughing, mumbling]
Abe:
Well of course you can go and of course you're up for it. But why make something so
difficult? Why go so hard against your natural nature? Why not...
...why not just modify gently and gradually? (...) and we know the answer! The answer is:
"Because I've got no self-discipline! Unless I surround myself with conditions, where
everybody has agreed to the same thing, then I'm not likely to keep my word to myself."
And we start to kind of get that. But so let's talk about the reasons that that was a profound
experience. So, momentum is the big subject here! Because when you give your attention
to something law of attraction responds to it.
And in silence, there is going to be less momentum.
Now, some people say "but Abraham, I have this mind that is just chattering all the time. And
just because I'm not talking..." in fact, sometimes if you are not expressing, then your mind
becomes even more active! (...)
It's not about the action of speaking or not speaking,
it's about the finding of the thought or the words or the action, that harmonize with who
you really are, you see!
Silent meditation implies something... oh, oh,
it implies something that is so contrary to what we know to be!
When Esther is in alignment with us, do you find her silent?
[Laughter]
HS: Not at all!
Abe: When you're in alignment with well-being, don't you want to oooh and awwee about the
beauty of the surroundings around you? Don't you want to describe them in detail?
-The only time that silence is ever of value, is if you are out of the Vortex.
If you are in a place of misalignment. If you are beating the drum... if you've got negative
momentum! So, if you've got so much negative momentum going on, that you need to go
stand in a place of silence for a long period of time- then we can see how that would be of
advantage to you.
But source wants to express through you!!
Source wants to laugh through you!
Source wants to yodel down the canyon through you!
In other words, silence... silence... there's a misunderstanding!
And you help us say something very important.
If you got something negative going on: shut up.
We love you all so much! But when you are tuned in, tapped in, turned on- be boisterous
in your revelations!!! In your reveling of life experience!
