Quotes on Desire

[spiritualcookie]

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.


- Abraham

[Paradise-on-Earth]

On Things You Desire Still Not Being Manifested

There will ALWAYS be incomplete desire! ALWAYS!
Because new desires are continually being born. Learn to be happy in the incompletion!

Because, as eternal Beings, fulfillment of your desire will ALWAYS be incomplete! We never get it done. (...)

Since you are eternal, then there will always be another exposure to another contrasting experience, which will cause you to give birth to yet another new desire, which, since you just gave birth to it, is not complete. And what we want you to come away from this gathering, feeling very powerfully, is that the exhilarating crevice is

between having given birth to a new idea, to a new preference, and it not yet being completed, but you’re on your way to the completion of it because it’s on the way.
It’s that on-the-way crack, that is your life.

You keep thinking that you want to get through the crack, through the crevice, and over to the place where the manifestation is complete! And we say well, you can do that, and you will -
you’ll get your new house,
you’ll get your new car and
you’ll get your new lover -
you’ll get your new stuff.

It will constantly come to you, because when you ask, it is always given! But the thing that we really want you to feel is, that now you’re just going to be standing in another new place! With other contrasting experiences- which are going to give birth to another yet new desire, which is still going to be incomplete! So we see so many of you standing in this place where you feel incomplete, but you’re unhappy in your incompletion.

“I will feel so much better when my lover comes.
I will feel so much better when my money comes!
Or when my new house comes.”

And you have to get over that.
You have to feel good in the crack!
You have to feel happy in the crevice of incompletion.

And unless you are, then you’re going to hold yourself in this negative, annoyed, resistant, irritated, unhappy, incomplete-feeling, inadequate, insecure attitude, that will prevent what you’re asking for from coming to you. Did that just make sense?

You have to be happy in the crack; you have to be excited about wanting something that hasn’t come yet!

So you want to get to the place that when people say to you “Has that thing you’ve been talking about come yet?” -You want to say: "No" (calmly), not "Noooo!" (in despair). -“No, it hasn’t come yet, which means I’m still alive, which means I’m still adjusting, which means I’m still adjusting my vibration.”

And what is it that you are adjusting your vibration to?
-You’re adjusting your vibration, not from not having this thing you want to having this thing you want, you’re adjusting your vibration from being unhappy about not having it, to being happy, even though you don’t have it!

When you’re happy even though you don’t have it, then you’ll have it! But as long as you’re unhappy about not having it, that unhappy is a vibration that holds it away. When you’re unhappy about not having it, you’re practicing the art of resistance. And when you’re resisting, you can’t have it. “Well, how do I get happy about not having something that I really want?” -Well, it takes practice! It takes understanding you’re eternal. It takes understanding that you’re on your way. It takes beginning to enjoy the process.

If we were standing in your physical shoes (and we often are), and we were on our way to something that is in our mind -we’re looking forward to it, we’re not there yet, we haven’t achieved it yet
-we would feel anticipation,
we would feel eagerness,
we would feel optimism;
we would feel enjoyment or pleasure, at watching how clever the Universe is in organizing a way to give it to us.

We wouldn’t be beating the drum of “It’s taking too long”, we’d be beating the drum of
-“Well look at that, well look at that, well wasn’t that interesting - look how it is unfolding!”

because when you start beating the drum of "I’m happy in my incompletion", things speed up so fast.

When you ask, it is given every single time.

Really?? Not having Goals?
Goals and Desires- and how you can keep yourself completely from fulfilling either

HS:
My question is basically... I, um, I have no goals.

Abe:
Yes you do! You're just not in tune with them enough, to recognize them.
Your vortex is full of them! You've just been focused upon the other end of them. So it doesn't feel like it. But they are there! And you know how you can know what they are? Sometimes by the contrast of knowing what you don't want.

You HAVE goals. You HAVE desires! You have desires!

HS:
I do have desires.

Abe:
By the "goal", then did you mean "I don't have any action things lined up?" (HS: "Hmm!") Well that's all right. Because, as you have desires and you focus more generally on the desire, you see... when you think about what you want and why you want it, in general terms, you stay in this vibration that is non-resistant. And you allow yourself to become a cooperative component to things that your Inner Being knows about, that are more specific.

HS:
That's where I feel, that's how I'm feeling that!

Abe:
You're actually saying to us "I know what I want, and why I want it. I just haven't yet received when it's going to come, where it's going to come from, who's going to be there, how it's going to come about." And that's all right! If you are able to stay in that general place of optimistic anticipation, it will clear up for you. It will!

HS:
I'm a hairdresser and a nail technician for many many years. And, uh, my salon is moving over to a much broader salon. And there's going to be a lot of different changes, monetarily and everything.

Abe:
So what did you mean when you said "I have no goals?"

HS:
Well, I just feel that, um...

Abe:
Isn't that an intention? How do you define a goal? We don't want to be troublesome to you, but... come on! You just said two things that are opposite of each other!

HS:
Well, I do that a lot. Yes, I do that a lot! But I guess when I say of a goal... I say... I think about, um, I have to make, you know, so much money a year. And I'm gonna focus on that. And get to that goal, where I just... I don't really care if I make a million dollars, or if I make sixty thousand dollars a year! I'm very happy with what is. And when I say "I don't have a goal" is, I'm not looking at...

Abe:
We hear what you're saying! What you're saying is: "I have things in my vortex that I'm not allowing myself to acknowledge. And so, I'm deliberately choosing to pretend that I do not have any desires! So, that I don't disappoint myself, when it doesn't go the way I want it to."

HS:
That's it, maybe!

Abe:
For sure!!

HS:
Yeah... i just feel like...

Abe:
So, we have some questions for you. Are you looking forward to this change? (HS: yes!) ...and do you like working with people?

HS:
No. (Audience gasps and laughs) I don't like people! And I fake my way through people. They're irritating. Is that bad? That's really bad, right?

Abe:
It's not good or bad!
So you said "I have a goal, and iIm gonna do this, but I'm not gonna like it." And so- don't worry about making a million dollars! Because it CAN'T come under those conditions! Don't worry about making sixty thousand. It CAN'T come under those conditions, either. You can't feel adverse to what you're doing to your process, without putting a vibration in the air that is hindering in nature!

[Paradise-on-Earth]

How does the REALIZING of your dreams happen? (Stop killing the momentum of your desires!)
HOW THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS.


You have to have wondered:
How do those ideas, how do those desires, how do those hopes and dreams... how do those vibrational realities... how do they get into your real life experience? How do you turn those thoughts to things? How do they become relationships and experiences? How does... "how do I get the money into the bank, Abraham?? In the bank!! I want to get it out of the vortex, and into the bank, okay? How do I do that??"

... And the way you do it, is through the natural laws of the Universe.
The way you do it, is by not keeping it out of the bank! That's the thing that we want you to understand!

(laughter) You just got to let the door open! You just stop keeping it out of the bank. Now, how's that? (Laughter) Don't do that anymore. That's not what we're saying. We want to talk about what you are wanting to do, so the way that things move, or become from an idea; from a vibrational reality, into something that you are realizing,

is that you have to tune your frequency to the realization of it.

Now we know- you didn't want to hear that. But we needed to tell you that! You are the realizers... that's the best word that Esther can find, that's how manifestations occur: you REALIZE them. You realize them, by finding a frequency. And at first, when you find it, it feels weird to you. Maybe it feels a little exciting for a moment. In fact, that's a moment of recognizing the full potential of your desire! You feel exhilarated about it- for a moment.

But if you don't shoot it in the foot, if you don't wrestle it to the ground and kill it with reality, if you don't "yeah, but...!" it to death: "yeah, but. Yeah, but. Yeah, but..."

What about this? What about this: Esther said to us in the beginning: "Abraham, it's true. This thing that I know, that you don't want me to talk about, is a true thing. Don't you think that I should at least acknowledge that it is a true thing?" -and we said "there are all kinds of things in this world that are true, that you want to live; and there are all kinds of things that are true in this world that you don't want to live. We would, let whether you want to live them or not be the criteria, for whether you give your attention to them!

"But Abraham!"- Esther said, "it's such a big world. And there are so many things out there, am I supposed to put my head in the sand??"
-we said: Yes! And meditate!
"Am I supposed to put my head in the sand, and just pretend that those things aren't happening?"
-and we say: You have choice in all of that. Just know, that when you give your attention to things, momentum ensues. And eventually, you can create a belief that is so strong! A belief that is so strong, that it will become your reality.

You can also create a desire, that is so strong that it can become your reality! So what's happening to you- what really happens, what makes the difference, is your belief so strong? Or is your desire so strong? How does that play out?
And we say: Law of attraction gives you the exact balance that you've got going on! You can go a long way in cleaning up those desires. You can go a long way in improving those beliefs. You can go a long way in sifting and sorting your now-reality, looking for positive aspects. You can go a long way in looking at what-is, and finding the things that feel the best. In other words,

you have much more discernment, you have much more capability to offer vibration, than you've been practicing!

And we've written a lot of books with a lot of processes to help you practice. And we are impressed with the application that you've been offering! But today we want to say to you, it's so much easier if, when you wake up in the morning, you just say to yourself "I could be wobble free. I'm wobble free for now! I'm wobble free!! I don't have to bring into this day the things that were bothering me, yesterday!! I don't have to do... oh, there it is. I brought it in, already." (laughter)

When we first started talking to Esther about this, she didn't make it till breakfast, before she was wobbling all over the place! In other words, because you got lots to think about, you've got these practiced thoughts. And we don't want you to be hard on yourself about beliefs that aren't serving you, but we do want you to be aware of what beliefs you have, that serve you- and what beliefs that don't. Esther will find herself moving through a day and all of a sudden, she'll find herself not feeling so good. Sort of this subtle feeling of discomfort.

And she will stop now and say: "Oh, I just uncovered something that I apparently have been thinking about long enough, that it surfaced just now. What was i just thinking about, that gave me that funny feeling in my stomach?"

Because when that happens, that's a little piece of resistance that is showing itself to you. And we're not really encouraging that you sit down right then and try to talk yourself out of it, because you will only add momentum to it! But recognizing it and then, at first opportunity, identifying what it is that you do want, relative to that. And then, the next day, start out thinking about what you do want!

You will really be pleased with how quickly you can shift the vibrational frequency of your habits of thoughts!
You can change your beliefs. Your beliefs are only thoughts that you keep thinking! And you don't have to continue to think unhelpful beliefs.

Esther will say: "Well, that was unpleasant and unnecessary!" -Unnecessary! Unpleasant and unnecessary. So, what we're really saying to you is: It is our powerful desire that you love yourselves -as we love you!- Enough, that you are willing to stop torturing yourself with unpleasant thoughts! That you will stop accepting negative emotion as just the way life has to be.

You say things like: "These are hard times." They are not hard times!
You say things like: "The economy's bad." The economy is not bad! Economy is an individual thing, and there are those who are thriving- might as well be you!

So, let's talk about money. And let's think about what you can do with money. How money positively affects your experience! And it's easy to have a discussion about what you could do with money, with lots more money! With twice as much, or ten times as much, or a hundred times as much! You can think about what you can do with money, so you sort of focused on what you might want to do with money. And now let's talk about how you're going to get some money! And how money is- it's portable. It's tangible. It's, um, exchangeable! And it's spendable. And you like to spend money! You LIKE to spend money.

But in order to spend money, you have to get money. You have to get money to spend money, and there's the rub, right there. There's the rub. So, now "if I don't have, if I'm not in the money place that I want to be in, then thinking about money is just annoying! Because I don't have money, and so as I'm thinking about spending more money, I just get more and more out of balance. Because for me to be in balance relative to money, money in- money out, money in and money out... and what I'm stumbling over is, how to get the money in? How to get it in?? -So the discussion isn't pleasant, and nothing changes very much, and I'm sort of living the same life, year after year after year in relationship to money. Money... got to figure out how to get it! And where to get it, and when it will come, and where it will come from, and who to help, and, and, and... The more I talk about this, the worse it feels to think about money."

We don't want you to think about money! Because money is far further down the road. Money is the manifestation-part. Money is realized by you, later on in the scenario!
What we want you to think about is, the vibrational currency that you all have access to.

We want you to spend vibrational currency, not money!
Now stay with us, because it feels tricky! It is a trick. But it will serve you really really well! There is this vibrational currency... a vibrational currency that you're already tapped into, and getting the vibrational currency is so much easier than getting the money. Because, you have the doors closed to getting the money, in some regards. But you can more easily open the doors to the vibrational currency.

Now just stay with us just a little bit: So, instead of thinking about money, we want you to find the emotional vibrational equivalent to money.
Like... like the feeling of freedom. Think about confusion and clarity! Confusion -not wanted. Clarity -wanted. Can you feel how it's just a mindset to find the difference? That you can find clarity over confusion, just by focusing your mind? Can you feel how money feels harder to accomplish than clarity? Because clarity is a mindset, but money needs a job.

Money needs a job, money needs a means, money needs a way to get it to yourself... stay with us!
So, what we're wanting you to begin feeling from us is, that in the same way that you can move- in a very short period of time- from confusion to clarity, or from a bad mood to a good mood, you can you do it with your kids all the time! You can talk somebody into a good mood! You can talk yourself into a good mood, especially if you start earlier in the day.

So if if you're following us a little bit here, we're talking about vibrational currency... clarity is vibrational currency!
So now let's relate that to dollars. How can you find an emotional word... which is to say, how can we find a vibrational currency word about money?
It feels free.
Feels secure.
It feels easy!
It feels nice! Now, as you find those feelings, you have accomplished a wobble-free moment while you're focused upon the subject of abundance or currency. And in that absence of wobble, if you sustain this- and we want you to do it over the next few days, when you think about money, don't think about where it's coming from! Think about the vibrational currency that you have access to, right this minute.

We want you to begin thinking about the emotion that you can accomplish, right here and now. Because the emotion is the first manifestation! The money will be a later manifestation. But if you don't get the first manifestation, you're not going to get the later manifestation!

Are you with us? All right. It's so good! We have not had this conversation in this way before! But this is the way you turn thoughts to things.
This is the way, the vibration becomes a reality! You have to let it be an emotional reality first, and you have to practice it, as the emotional reality, long enough that you're stable in it. Because when you're stable in it long enough, now momentum is going to ensue and things are going to show up for you, and you're going to say: "How could I have been missing that? It was there, all along!"

So, now- do you like that? We like that so much. We like that so much!! So... so now you take a subject about your physical well-being. A diagnosis. You not only don't have money in the bank, you've got a great big old debt! With that's a medical diagnosis, that has a big old label on it, and so it's not easy to just all of a sudden erase that from your mind. And it's not easy to find a path in the same way, that people are having a hard time these days, a bit finding a path of money into their experience, while they could find the path of feeling good into their experience instantaneously.

Since they haven't found the way, since there's not a specific cure or a specific thing that other people have done enough, that you can just believe it for sure- then it gets you all hung up. You've got to come through the back door- like Esther always does, through the belly of the wale, where there's always somebody back there with a key. And somebody's already put the arrows on the walls for you! In other words, you got to come at it in a different way. And that different way is: You have to focus on the emotional accomplishment, that you can accomplish, not the manifestational part that is a little slower in coming!

And it is our promise to you- it is our absolute promise to you, it is our ABSOLUTE promise to you, that if you find this emotion of well-being... because it's present in so many other ways! Look at you. Look at how you are feeling your heartiness. Feel your clarity! Feel feel the stamina that you have! In other words, there is so much evidence of physical well-being!

If you will ignore the piece that's out of whack, and amplify the things that make you emotionally feel strong, you don't have to feel emotionally strong for very long, for the money to start flowing! And you don't have to feel emotionally strong for very long, before the well-being is dominant within your experience, either:

That's how you turn thoughts to things!
You mold them in your emotional center, by caring about how you feel. And you find yourself unwilling to think scary thoughts, and unwilling to think thoughts that don't feel good about anything, you see.

That's the path, and it's an easy path.

It's as easy as changing confusion to clarity! It's exactly the same process, it's that easy.

Your work is just to think thoughts, that match the desire -rather than it's absence.
To tell the story of what you are creating, rather than why you are creating it.
