Quotes on Ageing

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.

Re: Quotes on Ageing

Post by spiritualcookie »

Everything that you think has been introduced to you by someone.
There is much influence that abounds.

The idea that you have degenerating bodies as you get older
is an idea that has been thrust into your experience,
and has been offered to you as influence.

You have pondered it enough that that is the balance of your thought.

As a society and as most individuals,
you accept that with your years, you receive declining experience.

And we say, des that not make you feel resistance even when you hear the words from us?
It should!
Because at the core of your being you know there is never a reason to decline.
There is never a reason to experience anything less than peak, ever.
Other than taking some thought and sending it off in expectation towards less than that.



- Abraham Hicks, New Beginnings II, 1991, pg 201

-



Abraham:
We are appalled at the amount of negative influence that is offered to Esther [in the mail],
"Now you are reaching this age, you may expect these things,"
and as it says to Jerry,
"Now you are approaching this age, now you should expect these things."

It is no wonder you do not want to be a part of their census.
It is no wonder you do not want to be a part of their statistics.
It is no wonder you do not want to be a part of those who want to pigeon-hole you into expected activity, and declining activity, when what you seek is the other.

It is glorious to feel your freedom, is it not?

Jerry: So what do you see as the natural progression of the cellular aspect of the physical body, in the second fifty years of life?

Abraham: Exactly same as first.
It responds to your expectation.
When you are little, you expect ot grow up and get stronger.
You expect to get bigger and stronger until you reach that age. The peak they call it.
You need not accept it.
You accept it because so many do, and have, that the balance of thought in the society is there.
And so, the tendency is for you, as an individual to get swept up in whatever the balance says.
But you do not have to do that.

When you finally say:
"That may be your world,
but it is not mine!

What is choose is this."
And when you can say to anyone and mean it, really know it,

"My experience is purely a product of my thought.
And my thought is purely a product of my decision.
And my decision is purely a product of my wanting.
And my wanting is purely a product of my knowing." (...)

"There is nothing I cannot be or do or have
and that incluides health."

You can reverse anything.
As long as you are consciously releasing resistance,
and not allowing it to mount,
you can remain joyously physically focused!

Let go of Resistance to Ageing - Make Peace with What Is, to Allow Regeneration & Rejuvination to occur
Paradise-on-Earth wrote: Sat Feb 17, 2024 8:42 pm HS:
What about parts of my body that... you think they're getting older?
I mean, can't I use this method that you're teaching us, about being in the feeling state,
create regeneration of parts of my body? ...graying hair, wrinkles... I've had a hysterectomy. I've a bad knee or shoulder. Can I [regenerate all of this]?...

Abe:
You can, but not from that vibrational feeling place. [...]

Jerry and Esther were in New England last fall. And as they walked and drove through the extraordinary color of these aging leaves, we did not hear them, or any other standing under the trees, demanding that they'll be spring green again:
Everyone seemed to accept the natural cycling of the leaves!

Now, as you understand that you are more like the tree than you think!
In other words, the tree drops its leaves - and they come new again.

Esther said she would like to be a chicken.
Because she can't tell her little spring chickens from the old chickens.
Because every year, they all get new feathers!
Esther said, "Ladies should have feathers! Every year, we would get new feathers!"

Well, what we are getting at, here, is that:

The cells of your body are continually re-generating.

And if you could find yourself appreciating the spring and the summer and the fall and the winter of your experience, then in that appreciation, you would re-generate the cells.

And that which you are wanting - as youth - would be maintained eternally.

In other words, you can't tell the old wolf from the middle-aged wolf.
They are as agile and as clear minded, you see.

HS:
So, the answer there is, continued appreciation to keep the valve open?

Abe: Yes.

HS:
And create whatever it is I want in my body, whether it's a healing of a joint, or coloring of my hair.

Abe:
Yes! As you acknowledge the beauty of your hair even if it is gray.
In that vibration, your valve is open.

And then, your truer wanting is satisfied.

As you want your hair to be different than it is [you resist it and are not at peace with it], and in that lackful mode you look, then vibrationally you close the valve that could allow it to be different.

So the key is:
"How do I look at a wrinkled face and feel appreciation?
How do I feel prosperous, when my checks are bouncing?
How do I feel well when they tell me I have [a diagnosis of some sort]?"

And we say, you must not put so much credence upon the current condition.
And you should let your vision be dominant.

And when you're able to look, and see what you are wanting to see, rather than what everybody else sees - then you have the true vision of energy flow.
And that's when you begin to create miracles.
And we're not kidding you about it!


In other words, that's when the physical manifestation that defies all of the properties of your physical laws begin to take place.

It's because your knowing has superseded the vibrational habit of thought, that is physical perspective, and has entered into the realm of the broader awareness.

When people ask Esther how old she is she says:
"I am only a puppy!"

We're only as old as we feel.
We're only as old as we vibrate.
We're only as old as our resistance and alignment.

This seems to fit here as well!



We'r not wanting to upset any teachers, that are wanting you take specific action. But we really want you to understand, that

YOUR BODY IS A CHEMICAL FACTORY, that is able to extract from your diet WHAT IT NEEDS, and wants.

Physicians and scientists have not even begun to explore the chemistry, that goes on in the digestive system! That chemistry is so much more by your vibration: Your mood or attitude, than it is by what you are eating, that it makes what you are eating IRRELEVANT!

It's Ok To Want To Be Beautiful!

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!


When you are seeing... let us say that you see a beautiful woman, and everything about her is really just right. Her figure is just right. Her attitude is dynamic, she seems free and happy. She is really the picture of a happy woman! And as you see her- if that picture uplifts you, then that is an indication to you, that you are on your way to that. That which you see harmonizes with that what you want, and in your moment of positive emotion, your InnerBeing is saying: "you and the energy of the universe and that which you are seeing, and the feeling that you have, are all one! You are in harmony with this."

But if you see it, and you find reason to be critical... "Probably never worked a day in her life. Probably just sits around and puts mud packs on her face! Probably has no stress, but..." -you are getting the picture!- then what is happening is: You are in your position of lack, now trying to justify your position of lack. And doing so, by putting the other one down, so to speak. It is a common thing. (...) doesn't matter what it is that they have, that you want- that you don't feel you have, anytime you are feeling jealousy (and you know the feeling!) ...there are only two emotions. One feels good, and one feels bad.

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!


The reason that you have come to feel vanity or see it in others, is because you are coming from position of lack. And then you are trying to ease the pain of that position of lack, by saying "I don't want that anyway", you see. There are only two ways to get rid of negative emotion! First of all, let us remind ourselves what is negative emotions.

Negative emotion is your Inner Being reminding you, that you're resisting whatever you're giving this thought to.

If someone you did not know called you on the telephone and said: "I will never call you again", you would say: "What? Who cares?" -in other words, you didn't want them to begin with, so they're going away wouldn't involve you. And so there would be no negative emotion. But if someone very important to you were to call you on the telephone and say: "I will never see you again!" -you would feel lack. You would feel negative emotion. You're getting the point. Therefore, what we are saying is: Whenever you are feeling negative emotion, your Inner Being is saying: "you are not allowing this, that you'r wanting. You are resisting it."

You take part of the non-physical energy and you say: "I want."
And then in your negative feeling, you are taking part of the non-physical energy and say: "I want it, but I'm not going to get it."
And so, that is resistance. That is what that is, a little tug of war. That his why it is uncomfortable. You're not in the flow of things, you see.


HS:
Now I enter a sketching class that I took. The teacher said... we sketched each other, we were looking at it in two pairs. And she said, an older person who is much more interesting to sketch... there's a lot more to sketch there. Well, a young person doesn't have the interesting lines, and that's what came to my mind, and that may be part of even the negative... I was wondering. Should I be... What you're saying to me is in the sense that "what I want is legitimized. That's all there is. I want it.

Abe:
...And that is ENOUGH.

HS:
...And that's ENOUGH!

Abe:
You cannot want something without having the potential of having it! It defies law. If you are wanting it, it can be yours.

And you have this glorious guidance system, telling you every time (when) you're going astray from having it! Every time you feel negative emotion, that is your guidance system telling you: you're pushing against something you want! Relax! Change the thought and let it be.

HS:
I do! It feels like I want my body to catch up with the rest of me! It seems like, in terms of money and and relationships, and there's a lot of things which I will feel as if I've made quantum-leaps of what I was before I knew! But if...

Abe:
Absolutely.

HS:
And then... and I thought I were trying too hard.

Abe:
That is part of it. Trying too hard is resisting! For this reason... when you think about this... if you decide that you want to go to the grocery store and buy a quart of milk. Did you ever find yourself trying too hard? Or do you just go get it? And the reason you just go get it is, because you have absolute knowledge! ...You know that you have the ability to go. You know you have the money in your purse. You know the milk will be there. When you get there... in other words, that there is no doubt! And so there is no trying against anything!

And so, whenever you're trying too hard, what is happening is: There is a part of you, that is not believing that it can be. And so, in your wanting to compensate with action, you offer more action. And what we are wanting you to understand is, that you cannot act enough.

There is not enough action in the world to compensate for your taking part of the energy, and sending it in the other direction in the form of negative emotion.

If you've got negative emotion about something, you're stuck there. And no action is going to change it!

The only thing that's going to change it, is by releasing the thought.

Which is bringing forth the negative emotion, and replacing it with the thought that brings positive emotion. And then, the action will come joyfully, you see!

HS:
Yes, many many examples are flashing through my head now...

Abe:
If you'll just look for reasons to feel positive emotion! And the best time to do it, is in a time when you're feeling negative emotion. In other words your positive aspect book will serve you very well. Even a mental one, if you will stop for a moment and say: "Now, wait a minute. I'm feeling rotten here." -Don't try to figure out why you're feeling rotten! What you tend to do is, you try to justify it, because at the core of your being, you're wanting to be right. You're wanting to be balanced, you're wanting to feel good. And so, when you don't feel good, the tendency is to try to justify.

We heard Esther, regarding the hotel that kept being not prepared for them. And so, as she is making her statements of criticism to them, she is feeling negative emotion. And then she feels like she must defend her statements of criticism! And so she says things like: "I have called them just today. I wrote them a letter. What kind of... why don't these people listen? What kind of staff do they have?"

All the while she is now picking on them, attracting more negative from them in an attempt to justify her own negative emotion! And we say:

You don't have to justify your negative emotion!
Your negative emotion is your guidance.
Acknowledge your negative emotion!


Nobody's judging you! You don't have to justify your position. Acknowledge your negative emotion, recognize you'r resisting something that you want- and then look for the positive aspects within this. And as you look for the positive aspects, you are feeling changes. And as soon as you're feeling changes, you're no longer resisting, and as soon as you're no longer resisting: You're getting what you want.

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:

Every 7 years, you have new cells.
So, you are only 7! The oldest part of you is 7!
That's not old enough to be tired and sick
and broken down.

Your cells are all Youngsters!

Because of the way you've been thinking,
you will change the thinking of the cells of your body as well.

The cells of your body are so compliant to what's going on with your thoughts!

The entire Universe is.

How to allow miracles within your body
(The differences between sensations and pain)


HS:
Now, what about parts of my body, that are not youthing? They're they're getting older. I mean, can I use this method that you're teaching us about being in the feeling state, uh, create regeneration of parts of my body? Such as gray graying hair, wrinkles... I've had a hysterectomy. I have a bad knee or shoulder. Can I...

Abe:
You can! But not from that vibrational feeling place that is there! And, in other words, what we're getting at is this: Jerry and Esther were in New England last fall. And as they walked, and drove through the extraordinary color of these aging leaves, we did not hear them or any other standing under the trees demanding, that they'd be screen spring green, again! Everyone seemed to accept the natural cycling of the leaves. Now as you understand that you are more like the tree than you think... in other words, as the tree drops its leaves, and they become new again...

Esther said, she would like to be a chicken. Because she can't tell her little spring chickens from the old chickens because every year, they all get new feathers. She said: "Ladies should have feathers! Every year, we would get new feathers!" ...well, what we are getting at here, is that the cells of your body are continually regenerating. And if you could find yourself appreciating the spring and the summer and the fall and the winter of your experience, then in that appreciation, you would regenerate the cells. And that which you are wanting, as youth, would would be maintained eternally! In other words, you can't tell the old wolf from the middle-aged wolf. They are as agile and as clear-minded, you see!

HS:
So the answer there is continued appreciation, to keep the valve open? (Abe: yes!) and create whatever it is I want to create in my body- whether it's a healing of a joint, or coloring of my hair...?

Abe:
Yes! As you acknowledge the beauty of your hair, even if it is gray- in that vibration, your valve is open. And then your truer wanting is satisfied. As you want your hair to be different than it is, and in that lackful mode you look- then vibrationally, you close the valve that could allow it to be different.

So the key is: how do I look at a wrinkled face and feel appreciation?
How do I feel prosperous when my checks are bouncing?
How do I feel well, when they tell me I have cancer?

And we say: You must not put so much credence upon the current condition! And you should let your vision be dominant.

And when you are able to look and see what you are wanting to see, rather than what everybody else sees- then you have the true vision of energy flow. And that's when you begin to create miracles, and we're not kidding you about it!


In other words, that's when the physical manifestation that defies all of the properties of your physical laws, begin to take place!
It's because your knowing has superseded the vibrational habit of thought that is physical perspective. And has entered into the realm of the broader awareness.

HS:
And that's where the pain from the knee joint disappears? (Abe: Yes!) -When I've achieved that?

Abe:
The pain from the deep joint disappears, when you open your valve and acknowledge that the cells are doing their work. It's a very subtle difference between that which most of you call sensation, and pain. So what happens is- let's say that you have an injury to a leg, or or you're just out of balance for some reason. You... you twist... One day somebody gave Esther a hug that was so tight, that it separated one of her ribs. And so, as she has this this sort of pain in in her side, what is her first thought: "Something's wrong!"

Well, what the pain was, was non-physical energy knowing that there is something out of whack in her body, (and) going right to work!

And so, the cells in that part of body are on active duty! The cells in that part of her body are vibrationally asking for non-physical energy. And if Esther, in feeling the sensation, would relax and say:

"Ah! Help is on the way! All is well here. I feel this sensation, and what it means is, the cells and that right part of my body are acting much stronger. And they are summoning non-physical energy!" -and she would relax into the pain, rather than tensing against it!

Then she would allow the cells, and the non-physical energy to do their work. And that, which we would call a near-instant-healing!
You're sitting on an airplane. Somebody next to you is hacking, coughing, dripping, dribbling this virus. This person coughs into the air, and you inhale the virus into your body. When that happens, the cells of your body, in that part of your body, know that the intruder is there! And right away, begin to vibrationally respond to it. They vibrationally ask for non-physical energy to compensate.

So, the cells are asking, and the non-physical energy is answering. Now, if you're basking, if you are having a wonderful time, if you're appreciating, if your valve is wide open- then the communication between the cells and the non-physical energy is perfect. That virus is dealt with instantly! You don't even know it's happened. And you continue to thrive.

But if you're ornery, if the flight attendant has made you mad, if you are angry about something, if you are on your way to a funeral, if you are in a negative state of mind and you ingest this virus, without even being aware of it- then, as the cells are doing their part, and the non-physical energy is doing its part, you're setting up a resistance. So, as you set up a resistance, the cells work harder. The non-physical energy works harder! You set up more resistance! Then you have that, which you call sensation or pain. And then you say: "Um... something's wrong!" -and in the moment you identify something negative, and you turn your attention to it- now the cells are working harder! The non-physical is working harder. But you've got an iron door closed. So, when you feel pain, what we would encourage you to do is, say:

"Ah, this is good! The cells know what they're doing. The non-physical energy knows what it's doing!
And this thing that I have once called pain, I'm now going to call "help on the way." And in the same way that I would relax, and allow my mother to take a sliver out of my hand- even though I didn't really like it, I'm going to relax and allow these little psychic surgeons to deal with my body, on a cellular level!"


If you will allow the psychic surgeons to do it, there will be no scars. The resiliency of your body will be near perfect! If you go to the physician, it's like turning a chainsaw loose. In other words, the comparison of allowing the cellular surgery and the physical surgery is a big difference!

A composer and singer gets told she gets too old to begin a career


HS:
So, when somebody says to you "You're 33. You better hurry up! Because if you don't... you know my mother says "well that's just ridiculous, you know! You need to think of maybe going back to college!" or, you know... hey, I just opened for Coolio at the Menton in L.A. "Oh, that's great, honey! Hey... la la la la la" -and she's talking about something else. So and then, um, you know somebody from a record company says "Well you know, you have talent you're an amazing composer and you're this and that. But gez... you're really getting up there in age!" ...you know, because I've listened to you and listened to your tapes and everything, and read your book and I don't necessarily get keyed into that so much... but still, the little devil goes "huh!"

Abe:
You might say something to them, like: "Are you saying that the entry point has to be a certain age? Because there are a lot of people a lot older than I am, that are still at the top of their game. So is the age thing just about the entry point? Or are there some other qualifications, that I'm not aware of?"

Who gets to decide other than you? NO ONE, you see! it's usually someone who feels defensive... in other words, if you're hiring somebody to represent you and they're not finding any inroads, then sometimes they feel like they need to justify why things aren't going better. So they're looking for excuses and trying to lay it back on you. And what you want to do is, if you are not putting them in the position where you are making them feel like you think that they are responsible for what's happening,

they'll offer you less of that, as you begin to accept that you are the creator of your own experience.

And so, you're not laying it on your agent's table... in other words, you're in this together, but you're not making them feel defensive. They won't throw that stuff up at you. That's just their defense mechanism. Just laugh, and say "Oh, there's been a whole lot of a lot older buggers than me, making great success. Now get off of that, and let's move on! (HS: right, right!!)

...Be playful about it. Because age has nothing to do with anything! EVERYTHING is about vibrational alignment.

What we notice as we watch you, as you are moving through time, all of you as a mass consciousness, is that the majority of your desires are happening early on in your life. And if you are in a place where you can allow it, then much of your success comes very early in life. And there are people who will say "if your success does not come early, then it will not come!" -and the reason that they say that, from what they observe, is because mostly they're not really allowing themselves to want! -Only when they are young. And usually, by the time they are older, they've blocked off most of the allowing anyway. And so, they're not wrong in their observation. In other words, that is the usual rule. But that is not who you are!! In other words,

You're going to keep wanting long long long into your 80s and 90s!! And you're going to allow long long long!!

In other words, age is irrelevant. It doesn't have anything to do with it, and so- if somebody says that to you, and you want to be playful to them, just say:
"Oh, I think that what you're getting at, is that young people are usually more eager about things. But you'll never find anybody more eager than I am!"
