Language, Words and Communication
Is it really so, that words don't teach?
If we can in some way offer enough words... words don't teach. And analogies-
words don't teach. And conversations? Words don't teach.
We've enjoyed this interaction immensely. (Laughter)

You have to keep talking yourself into Alignment.
That's the work!

Re: "Words don't teach"? Language and Communication
Fine-tuning the language you use to help you point downstream
Consider the following common statements:
I can beat this.
I'm not going to let this get the better of me.
I will triumph over this.
We want you to try to understand that those statements are upstream, resistant statements.
For in each of them you are looking at the thing that you do not want, and holding yourself in vibrational alignment with the unwanted, rather than the wanted.
(...)
Your very belief that you need to overcome this adversity has you pointed upstream and away from the solution.

We really think it would be a wonderful idea if you could break your addiction to beliefs that don't serve you,
which just means: For a very brief period of time,
use your focus - call it willpower if you want -
and stop making sentences that work against you.
- Abraham
Thank you FeelGood

Re: "Words don't teach"? Language and Communication
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!

Re: "Words don't teach"? Language and Communication
If you would become obsessed with the best parts of your life, which means:
you talk about it and
you think about it and
you play with it and
you observe it and
you take pictures of it and
you tell others about it and
you think about it and
you talk about it and
you observe it;
until you activate it in your vibration until more thoughts like it come!
If you would become obsessed with the best parts of your life,
you would deactivate the parts of your life that you don't want.
But when you are obsessed with the parts of your life that you don't want,
and you keep them active, then there aren't enough helpers in the world
to help you get to where you think you want to be.

Re: Language, Words and Communication
Cussing and using the F-word
(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.

Re: Language, Words and Communication
Cover-Up-Words
Sometimes in your human form, you don't realize what you're offering vibrationally. Because often you are saying words, that are different than what you're offering. You could be saying: "I am so sure of myself." While you're not so sure of yourself! While your words are to cover up your insecurity. Well, the law of attraction doesn't respond to your cover-up words! The law of attraction is responding to your insecurity. And your words, that cover it up, are meaningless. Really, they just serve to distract you, and to confuse you!

Re: Language, Words and Communication
Don't try to talk yourself out of your desires by diminishing them!
HS:
How how did you feel about me, wanting to look more attractive?
I mean, I... as I was writing today about that, in my positivistic book- I remember that one time, I felt that it was important for me to accept...
Abe:
You are upon something very important here!
See, here is the way it has come about, not just with you, but with almost all that we know. You have this desire; you are born with it, for freedom and growth and joy. And as you look around the world, you choose things that you want. But because, for the most part, you have not understood (you or anyone else) the power of thought, or how it all fits together, you have found yourself seeing things that you want, that you're not believing that you have.
Or even in the comparison, seeing someone who is beautiful and comparing yourself, and not feeling as beautiful. And so, in the comparison you say: "I don't want those grapes anyway, for they're sour." and so, from that has become the attitude, that it is not proper to be vain! In other words, "one should not give so much attention to something so vain as beauty... after all, beauty is only skin-deep" or, "after all, the true merit of a being is within." -That sort of thing. And all of that is alright. We are not saying that that is not all right to feel that way! What we are saying is, that
when you don't feel that way, but you say the words, then you are resisting.
You're actually adding unto the thing that you do not want!

Re: Language, Words and Communication
Does Abraham Speak Other Languages?
We have been asked, "Abraham, can you speak another language through Esther? Could you speak Italian or French of Spanish?"
Our answer is that we speak not in a language of words.
We speak - or offer - pure essence of thought, or pure impulse of thought,
and Esther translates that impulse at an unconscious level of her being. We offer pure impulse of thought as do all physical and non-physical beings. It is the language of the animals, and it is the language of all who exist in either physical or non-physical dimensions.

Re: Language, Words and Communication
When you don't get wanted movement, you probably tell an "old story" with lots of unwanted momentum
Whatever you're living-
whether it is about your body, or whether it is about your relationship, or whether it is about your money- no matter what it is about, whatever you're living is only a temporary, in-the-moment INDICATOR of your temporary in-the-moment vibrational offering. That's all it is! The only problem is, you don't know that your vibrational offering is temporary.
-Because you've been speaking those words for so long, they're stuck in your vibrational craw.
-You've been telling the same story for so long, you don't know any new stories!
-Somehow you got convinced that you should tell it "like it is".
Now, let's play that over! What we were just saying, "tell it like it is": Your mother says "tell me the truth of what is!" -so you say: "I don't have enough money. I don't have enough money. I don't have enough money. I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I don't like what you're doing. I don't like what you're doing with my money. I don't like what you're doing with my government! I don't like what you're doing..." -we're making a point here. And we know it's getting annoying to you, but
we want you to understand, that you got to tell a different story!!
Did we make a point with you about these two points of vibrational offerings, that are going on? There's the larger you, and then there's the physical you. Do you get that? Do you believe it? Do you understand that you are this Source-energy-being? So, listen to the difference in the drums that are being beat!
-"I don't have enough money. I don't have enough money. I don't have enough money. I don't have enough money. I've never had enough money!"
-"There's plenty of money! The money is here. The things are lined up. The resources are in place. Circumstances and events have been arranged! The money is here. The money is here! Look over here! Look over here! Look over here! Look over here! Look over here!"
Now we want to depict the emotional difference:
-"I don't have enough money! I don't have enough money. Why don't I have enough money? I'm so sorry that I don't have enough money! What have I done wrong? I should have known better! They should have known better!"
-"There's plenty of money! Nothing has gone wrong. Everything that you want is lined up for you! Whenever you're ready, it's right here for you! There's nothing you need to do. You've done all the work. All you need to do, is relax and allow what you want, to flow into your experience!"
You want to begin to listen to the drum of the source within you!
You want to listen to the call of source source, that is calling you in the direction of what you want.
And the way you know that you're moving in the direction, is because things start lighting up for you. Meaning, that they begin feeling really really good to you, when you get on this track of following the trail, that has been pre-paved by you, and being tended by the Source within you, and is calling you toward what you're wanting!
You feel energized. You feel enthusiasm! And yet, you know what your physical world trains you to do. Your physical world says: "if it feels good, you need to be wary." You say to your friends: "Oh, I'm so excited about this!" and they say: "Watch out! Watch out, that positive emotion could mean something's going very very wrong for you! I've known other people, who were positive. And bad things happened to them. I think, you better play it safe. I think, you better stay right where you are! I know he beats you, but he makes a good living!"
And what we're wanting you to understand, is the way you feel is everything.
Because the way you feel is your indication of whether you're closing the gap between who you're letting yourself be, and who you really are. Or whether you're widening the gap.
And you're going to get so, that you can feel statement by statement, whether it's downstream or upstream, downstream or upstream.
The downstream statement always feels like relief.
It doesn't always feel like sunshine, lollipops and roses. It doesn't always feel like the best-feeling thing that you've ever felt! But the downstream thought, from where you stand, always feels better.
