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.
When something really, really, really matters to you, LET IT GO!
Say to the Universe: "You know what I want.
Give it to me, in the path of least resistance.
Give it to me, the easiest way possible.
Give it to me in any way I can get it!
HS:
I didn't want to come here. Somebody invited me, and I paid for us, and we came- and I was very skeptical. And I didn't know anything about you! I was surprised to find a woman standing on the stage, that's how little I know. (Laughter of the audience)
I have a pretty big vortex full of a lot of things that I won't... I'll be... I'll stay general, but I'm very fulfilled professionally. My education is complete and... but the one thing missing in my life is a family. And I've been firing millions of rockets, looking for a family, and I think I found what I was looking for. And for several months I've been working on this with a specific person, and everything was going fine. And then she has begun to perceive, that I'm still firing rockets, looking for family- maybe still with someone else. Or that I'm... she believes that I'm still firing rockets and she may have some reason to believe that, because of what's been in my vortex. And I'm only using these words, because I've heard them today for the first time, and, um...
Abe:
...And using them accurately! Which is unusual, to be this new to it, and up to speed so fast!
HS:
Oh, thank you! For...
Abe:
Well its... we're complementing ourselves. We're just really good! (Laughter) No. The compliment is yours!
HS:
I... don't want those things in my vortex! I don't believe that I'm firing rockets still...
Abe:
Well here's the thing. What's in your vortex is always the wanted part of everything. And something that's happening to you... it happens to almost everyone, is, that when you think you're talking about this family that you want: every subject is really two subjects! What is wanted, and absence of what is wanted. And so, when you use the words "relationship, family, something meaningful", you could be offering a vibration of the absence of it, rather than the presence of it! Which just keeps holding it at bay.
It's like- the feeling of loneliness is an indication. Your emotions are indications! So, the feeling of loneliness is an indication that you've got an active vibration about the absence of what you want. And you can't have an active vibration about the absence of what you want, and have it flow into your manifested reality!
You're holding it apart, without even knowing you do it.
People will say to us: "Abraham, I don't... you say I create my own reality. And I don't believe that I do! Because I wouldn't have created that, because I don't want it!" And we say: we didn't say you did it on purpose. But we did, say you did it! -There's a lot of misunderstanding. People think they put way more power in words than really they should. They put way more power in behavior-
when it's really the vibrational basis, that is at the heart of everything that comes to you.
So we like the way you began here. You said "I have success. I have success with education. I have success financially." So we want to ask you to just feel the difference in the way you feel, when you think about financial success or educational success, and the way you feel when you think about a relationship! Because in the one, you feel more confident. More sure, more satisfied. And the other you feel more wanting, more needing, more absence of it. Feel the difference! So, you got to find some way of either not talking about it... you know, you could get focused upon something else!
Recently someone says: "Everything in my life is good. There's just this one thing, that isn't good!" and we said, well then let's beat the drum of that one thing and use it as the excuse to mess up everything else! And they laughed about it. But they heard our point. We said:
You could have 10 things going terribly wrong and one thing going really well, and you could focus on the one thing and use it as your excuse to help the other things come into alignment.
Because the universe doesn't care! This law of attraction, that is responding vibrationally- it doesn't care what your reason for offering the vibrational signal is, that your offering. It's just responding to the signal. So, the fact of it is- you got to offer a signal about what you want, not about the absence of what you want! You want to talk about this? (HS: Sure!) Do you think that, as you've been sifting through the details of this relationship, and knowing what you do want, knowing what you don't want... are there many things about it that are pleasing to you? (HS: Yes of course!) Are there any things about it not pleasing to you?
HS:
Only this fear of rockets! That's the only thing. Only the fear of- well, her fear of that I'm firing rockets.
Abe:
So, the only thing that is missing is her response? In other words, she's insecure?
HS:
I don't know! She believes in the law of attraction, and that we are both... she believes sometimes, that we are both attracting the thing that we fear in each other, instead of the things that we want. And that we may have chosen the wrong...
Abe:
Well, nothing can go wrong, in this sense: So, you attract something that you don't want. It just causes you to launch your rocket! And you see, we're not the least bit worried about you, because we can feel the power with which you want to feel good! And we just want to say to you: It's really easy to talk to you. Simple! Because you're going to get this really easily.
All you got to do, is stay off the topic that makes you feel uneasy!
So, if we were standing in your physical shoes, we'd just make lists of positive aspects about the relationship. Keep going over in your mind, how you met, and how it felt, and how it feels, and what the physical attraction is! Just focus upon the parts that feel so good! Or focus on on other things that aren't about relationship,
because in your lack of attention to this thing that's bothering you, it will go away.
HS:
It's funny, because we've been making lists of the other. The opposite. (big laughter)
Abe:
Most people do! Most people do. "Got to find a problem and solve it!" -but in the law of attraction- world, which is the world you all live in, what that says is: "Let's make a list of things we do not want. We will just push hard enough against these things, we do not want! And we will obliviate them." And we say: No you won't!! You will amplify them. You'll make them active in your vibration, and you will use those active vibrations as your excuse to not allow yourself to resonate with who you really are, and what you want!
HS:
I'm in the military! So that's why I think that way. The other way, that you first described. That's probably what I've been doing. Obliterating problems is my job! (Audience laughing, HS smiles, understandingly).
Abe, very earnest:
We love you very much- but you are failing!
HS:
I know!
Abe:
The problems that you are attempting to obliterate, are getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bolder and bigger and bolder and bigger and bolder. IT DOES NOT WORK. It won't work in the world, it won't work with the army. It won't work in your personal world! It does not work! But you can stand right in the middle of a system, that's oriented that way, and you can find your alignment anyway! Because when you go general, there is so much that you want, that is right on target. You want a better functioning world. You want the majority of the people to live in peace and harmony! You want the children of the world to eat, and feel secure. You want physical well-being! You want it so much, that you're willing to do everything in your power, in order to achieve it, you see. So like we said to someone just now:
Don't worry about the action. Because there's momentum in that, but do your work with the alignment, you see!
HS: Thank you!
Abe:
We've enjoyed this interaction immensely!

Excerpted from Abraham LIVE -- Boston, MA 9/29/12.
A "Natural One" figuring out that he is "there", and doesn't need teaching!
(Witnessing an Enlightenment-moment!)
HS:
Good afternoon.
Abe:
It is!
HS:
I have cognitive dissonance between my world of business which I play in and have fun, and the world you share, of the spiritual side. I- I found- you know, I wanted to sort of run away from it. So I said, let's go on a cruise. It just happened to be an Abraham cruise! My wife was thrilled. And I find, that the business side is so easy and fun! And the spiritual side is a lot of work for me.
Abe:
Well, if your business side is easy and fun, then you've got the spiritual thing down! And don't worry about it!
HS:
I'm there!
Abe:
Because, there's not something that you're supposed to do! And there's not some vocabulary that we want you to learn. In other words: If you say, "I have found something and when I focus upon it, it thrills me, and calls me forward" then we say: You have intuitively listened to your guidance and you're right on track, and these words are superfluous.
HS:
I'm there. I'm there! Thank you.
Abe:
Yes indeed! (HS leaves the chair and walks out) ...Now he's going to the Lido Bar. No point in listening to, anymore, of this crap! (Audience hilarious)
from the official youtube-clip Abraham: A CASE OF COGNITIVE DISSONANCE - Esther & Jerry Hicks
Working hard to control your body...? Dis-Ease is the reason for EVERY illness or physical dis-balance
(Being Upstream or Downstream around losing weight and your body)
HS:
Um, so, as I'm listening to you, I'm thinking okay... I've got the relationship. I've got the money flow. You know, life is good in so many arenas! Now I want to learn how to turn downstream with my body. So, what I've noticed first of all, it feels like all my life, I've done everything I could possibly do- and it just keeps getting worse! So, I've done every diet. I've taken every pill. I've read every book. I've...
Abe:
But, but... when we... let's talk about this, just for a moment: Because, "I've done every diet", now just in in the context of Upstream/Downstream, "I've done every diet"- which way should we point?
(HS: Up.) -Up! "I've take taken pills"... did you take diet pills...?"
HS (laughing):
Oh I took every...
Abe (tuning into the fun, moving Esthers hand either left or right to show "upstream" or "downstream"):
Which way are they?
HS: Up.
Abe: "Read every book..."
HS: Up. Worked out... you know, not just worked out but... but, I've bought every piece of workout equipment! (Esther swinging her hand into "up", audience hilarious).
Abe:
So, now... you say... but here's the really good news! In all of that (pointing "up"), there is the realization of what I'm wanting! So you must understand- whether you can feel it or get a sense of it, of what's percolating over here for you, in vibrational Escrow! In other words, with all of that focus and all of that energy and all of that desire, that... in other words, when you really really really want something, and someone said to us one day, "oh Abraham I don't want that. I've already got that." -and it was laughable to us, because people associate wanting with that feeling of not having! And the reason that they do is, because
when you want something that you're not letting yourself have, and you really want it, you can really feel it, you see.
So what we want you to realize is, that there is a really positive side to that feeling. Which means, there's something really... in other words, your river is really flowing strong in this way! Otherwise you wouldn't be feeling that. Which means, when you do find the way to turn and go with it, the results will come readily for you! You have to know, that different people have different results from food. Because you see people eating much more than you eat, who are slender, and in the body condition that they want. So you have to know... and you say, well, it's metabolism. We say blah blah blah blah blah!
Whatever you want to call it- it is the energy-balance in your body!
And so, it does not matter how much you do, if you're vibrationally pointed upstream.
-You'r Doing isn't going to get you the results.
-That's why your metabolism is slow,
-that's why your body holds on to what you do not not want: You're pointed upstream in it, you see!
So, once you start playing the game... so you're downstream, downstream, downstream, downstream, downstream... then not only will the inspiration about what to do be easier and easier, but you're going to discover that you don't have that many things you have to do differently. Because the things you are doing differently have got you in a different vibrational stance. And that different vibrational stance is causing your response to food to be different, than it has been before!
Your metabolism will kick up when you're pointed downstream, we're not kidding you.
Resistance bogs everything down that's why all heart disease, that's why strokes, that's why every disease, that's why every sickness that every single person has ever lived, no matter how severe or slight it might be, is always about vibration, that's pointed upstream. It's always about that vibrational tug of war! Doctors only recently are beginning to understand the stress effect, relative to diseases! And it is EVERYTHING.
Disease: Dis- ease! Disease... dis- ease. Dis- ease, you see!
But it's all right. It feels like if you really really want something, so the energy is really really moving fast.
HS:
Yeah. And I the harder I try, the worse it gets.
Abe:
And that's the feeling that we're... that's the feeling that we want you to identify here! "The fact that I'm trying so hard means, I'm really pointed upstream. So,
It isn't that there are certain foods that you must eat, and therefore you will get results.
It is that you can't eat something that you believe will make you fat, and be slender!
In other words, it's about your vibrational energy balance. So as you start doing those things that you believe that you need to do, and you do them with ease, your resistance begins to resolve. And so, then what happens is:
-more ideas flow to you.
-people send you recipes.
-you find new products.
-you begin to get results!
-you begin to notice that the weight is coming off.
-you begin to get into the flow of it.
-you begin to feel better, your energy increases.
-you want to move more,
-and then you get on the scale which you haven't done for 30 days...
...and you say, "wow, 15 lbs! And I wasn't doing any of that hard stuff! I was doing only the stuff that felt good, and looking at the results I'm getting!" ...and we say: the results that you will get are because of your energy alignment.
But... so let's talk about the components of this process. What really is it? What is the getting-out-of-debt-process about? It's about using action to improve vibration. And we think it is a good human technique, because what you usually hear from us is: clean up your vibration, and don't act, and then follow through with inspired action.
But this these things that have you by the throat, these things like your body... you know your body is a hard thing to control when it gets out of balance! So, how your body looks and how your body feels is a big part of your vibration. And the same thing with money: Money affects you all day every day, and so when you apply these actions that make you feel a little better, what happens is: The action then drives the improvement in the energy. And the Improvement in the energy then inspires more action, and the action drives the improvement in the energy, and more improvement in the energy,
and then you start feeling motivated from the inside, and motivation from the inside.
It's what we call inspiration. And the big thing is, and we say this relative to every subject you have: to leave everybody else out of the equation! Because it doesn't matter how somebody else looks, or how much they eat, or how much results they get from what they do- none of that is relative to you. (...) Esther remembers going out to dinner with some dear friends, years ago. They went to a wonderful Indian restaurant in San Francisco, and Esther's beautiful friend... she looked like a model, from head to toe, ordered two complete meals and ate them herself. And then ate dessert, and then everybody else's dessert that didn't finish it.
And Esther said to her: "I hope you understand, that we can no longer be friends!" and Gloria said to Esther: "Food is my friend!" and Esther said: "Well, it hates me, it just hates me!" And that's really the point that we're wanting to make:
In other words- you have to come into alignment! You have to!
You must be your friend.
You've got to start doing things that make you feel better!
And that's where this "keeping my promise to myself" comes in. And the promise to myself is:
When when you're not happy in your body with the way it feels, or the way it moves ,or the way it looks- you're launching further and further rockets. So the worse you feel in your body, the more you ask for, and the higher your standards become. and so you've got a fabulous thing going on over here (in the Vortex) that you've got to get up to speed with! Because you're creating your own tug of war, and this process will cause you to ease that tension between the two, we promise you! It will shift your vibration. And when your vibration shifts, your body will become the way you want it to!
And here, here's the part we really want you to understand.
So, being slender and fit the way you want to be, is over here (in the Vortex). aAd where you feel like you are is over here, we want you to realize that turning like this (downstream)- because you did something on that, is enough!!
In fact, it's not only enough- it's all you can do! And it's not only all you can do- it's enough. But it's not only only enough... IT'S ALL YOU CAN DO! But it's not only all you can do, it's enough. But it's not only enough it's all you can do! (Laughter). In other words... you've got to make peace with all that you can do.
And when you make make peace with all that you can do, by keeping those commitments... ah, you just start floating along! You feel better and better. You're getting the results, and then it becomes a non-issue, and then one day, not very long from now, you'll sit in this chair and you'll say: "I've got the relationship. I got my body under control! And, Abraham, this week I won the lottery!"
from the (official) youtube clip "Abraham: NATURAL WEIGHT LOSS - Esther & Jerry Hicks"
You have complete control over the direction of your throughts.
And when you accept that, and you begin practicing it,
and you find out how easy it is,
then you'll find out how easy it ALL is!
