Contrast & Lack (the wrong end of the stick)

[Paradise-on-Earth]

Contrast is Choices!

Just train yourself, not to suffer over the choices, but to delight over your ability to make a choice and then to completely put yourself into the choice - even if it was just drinking water instead of Pepsi, or Coca Cola instead of beer.

In other words, it doesn't matter what choice you make, revel in the choice and line up with it completely and give yourself over to it completely, and you will ready yourself for getting inside this vibrational escrow because life will never cease to be a myriad of choices.

It's just, that the plethora of choices get better and better and better and better and better.

This piece of contrast that you hate
is the very thing that you asked for on a vibrational level
in order to bring clarity to you.

When you are looking at yourself, or at others, or at anything, and are seeing lack, you are offering thoughts that are vibrating at a very specific vibration.

The feeling of negative emotion that you receive as you focus upon lack is your indication that your own Inner Being is not resonating with those thoughts.
And the very negative emotion that you are feeling means that you are standing there, temporarily separated from your greater Inner power.

By utilizing the process of Pivoting, you can change your thought from one of lack to one of that which is wanted, and as you focus there - thought attracting thought attracting thought - you will change your vibration to hat which harmonizes with your own Inner Being, and the negative emotion will dissolve as the positive emotion takes its place.

The positive emotion indicating that you are, once again, back into a position of harmony with your broader knowing.

Focusing upon lack,
therefore vibrating at a lower frequency,
therefore diverging from your own Inner Being,
therefore restricting the magnificent flow of Energy from your Inner Being -
is the reason for all illness that exists within you.

Just as your body would respond negatively to the restriction of the flow of blood, or of oxygen, it responds negatively to the restriction of the flow of pure positive Energy.

As you look into your own life experience and see the lack of health, or of prosperity, or of meaningful relationships, or of anything that you are wanting, understand that that lack exists for one reason and one reason only:

You have chosen thoughts that connected to other thoughts that connect to other thoughts that are not in harmony with that which your Inner Being knows to be,
and you are literally vibrating and therefore attracting exactly what you are getting.

NOTHING IS EVER WRONG!


-Do you get it, that you've come here with purpose to understand that that purpose is expansion joyous expansion?
-Do you understand that you never get it done, and you cannot get it wrong,
-and the reason that you can't get it wrong is, because it's never done!?

So even though it may sound or feel out of balance, and maybe even wrong, that it really isn't wrong.

Because, in the feeling of wrongness, you're giving birth to your opinion of what would be better, and the source within you so trusts your opinion of what would be better for you, that the source within you embraces that idea completely. And becomes a vibrational equivalent to it! And holds steady there, until you find your way there.

We want you to ENJOY the contrasting experience,
just like you enjoy the contrasting buffet.

We want you to reach the place (and practicing virtual reality will help you gain this confidence), that whenever you'r in front of a buffet that has so much that you like to eat, as well as some that you don't like to eat, you don't feel frustrated that there are things there, that you don't want to eat. You don't feel compelled to put them on your plate and eat them! You just pick the things that you like.

And the Universe of thought is the same way!
You can choose from it the things that you like.

What Jealousy is

But you know the one called jealousy! The one, when you see something that another has and you want it. But you don't have it, and your Inner Being is shouting to you loudly and clearly that you want this. But you're focused in opposition of it, right now- you're taking the non-physical energy of the universe and sending it in opposition of what you really want. And so, what we would say to you is:

It is alright for you to want anything!!
And we would not call you vain. We would call you a Wanter!

"Catholic Guilt" about being lucky?

HS:
My question is is this, that every time, or anything that I want, anything at all, um, I create it. Literally I feel like I'm one of the most lucky people out there! And I was just saying um, I tell people I literally go running off cliffs, and know that the net is going to appear- and it happens time and time and time again. And I feel so fortunate to have that! And I also know that... something really big is getting ready to happen to me. And something that I've wanted for for a long time, and... and I I feel like, uh, I grew up Catholic.

And so I have this Catholic guilt, or at least that's what I blame it on. And I want to be able to accept all of these gifts that keep coming! And accept that I know, this... this big thing is getting ready to happen to me. And that I'm ready for it and it's okay that it's going to happen! Does that make sense?

Abe:
It does indeed. We want to give you something here, that will help you a great deal, because as we hear you talk about coming from a Catholic
background and all of that guilt, we want to say to you, that everybody comes from some background. In other words, everybody that's standing
here in the powerful now came from something, that came before. And even though where you stand now- by all of the choices that you've been making, feels a whole lot better to you, than where you stood in some of those former places.

Condemning those former places only messes up your now!
What we're saying to you is: You came from a glorious background, that gave you stability at the time. It gave you a format to to move from.

In other words, you don't have to feel angry about it, or wish that it had been something different. It was the platform that led, that led, that led, that led, that led to where you are now. And so as you stand in your now, and you say: "I'm in such a good place and I feel appreciation for everything that came before, because all of it was part of it! Even the contrast that didn't please me shot off rockets, that are partly responsible for where I am now."
Can you feel the ease that comes through you?

In other words we would like you to proudly say: "I come from this Catholic background, and it served me so well at the time. And now I'm thinking thoughts that are along this (new) line, but there's still a basis." Because within every religion, within every basis of every background, there are powerful parts that are of enormous value, you see!

Pivoting is utilizing the negative things that are happening in your life to help you pinpoint what you would rather have. And that is the reason for the physical life experience. That is the value of the "bad guys". Bad guys help you identify what you would prefer. Interacting with those that make you feel bad helps you to be aware that you want to feel good.

(...)

And so, as you are feeling negativity, let it do for you that which it is intended to do for you: help you to clarify what you DO want. And don't try to figure it all out at once.

(.,.)

Now, we don't want to get too heavy on [the value of contrast] - because we don't really encourage you to g o out looking for bad experiences.

We don't encourage you to bite your finger just so you can feel how good it feels when you stop.

But we do encourage that you acknowledge the value in every life experience.

Feeling bad when thinking of a desire always means you're focused on LACK

Your Inner Being gives you an emotional response to tell you what you are saying to the Universe.

You cannot want and feel bad at the same time.

You can focus upon the lack of what you want and feel bad.

[Don't] beat up on yourself from this position of lack
because you now see it as a launching pad to something you want.

- Abraham

-


If there was something that we predominantly thought about that always brought us to a feeling of lack, we would make a conscious effort to avoid that subject for a while.

In other words, your work is to bring yourself to the point of feeling good, because it is from your point of feeling that you attract all things.

Find a way of acknowledging the value of what is
while you look for something that suits you better
