Different Faces, Different Places, Same Story

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.

Different Faces, Different Places, Same Story

Post by spiritualcookie »

Hotseater is unhappy in his workplace. He enjoys putting is full effort into his work, but sees others around him hold back from putting their heart into their work, and he feels they resent him for his enthusiasm because it makes them look bad and raises expectations of what they should be able to accomplish. He has been at three different workplaces and the same story has happened in all of them.

Abraham:
It is of value for you to acknowledge that there is a bit of a pattern happening here, where you continue to find yourself in similar work environments.

That happens because:
as you observe things about your present situation (wanted or unwanted),
you activate those observed things in your vibration,
and so the Law of Attraction brings them to you in your next environment - and so on.

Whatever is most active in your vibration is what will continue to occur in your experience.

If you don't do the aligning work, you may leave a situation, but keep attracting a similar one

Many of our friends, in seeking our advice have offered detailed stories of negative experiences covering a wide range of subjects. And often, after explaining their plight, they have asked us, "Do you think I should leave this relationship?" "Do you think I should quit this job and find another?"

We often agree that that is one way out of this negative place. Removing yourself physically from what you disagree with can give you immediate relief.

However, the physical action, in and of itself, is not enough, for it is not your physical action that brought you to this negative point of separation, but your thought and feeling.

We often say to these people, "If you are leaving this relationship because you have noted that there are negative aspects to it, then we should point out to you that had you better get out of this city as well, for there are negative aspects here also, when you look for the. And also better get out of this world, for certainly there are negative aspects there."

If you are leaving a relationship, or taking action because of your awareness of the negativity within it, then you will never stop leaving or running. And you will have no-where to go. For within everything there are positive and negative aspects - and that provides the perfect balance for freedom of choice and for growth as well as for joy.

While your decision may ultimately be to leave a relationship, or to change your position of work, or to move to another home, it is extremely important that you do not do so from your negative perspective from focusing only upon the negative aspects, for you will certainly take yourself with you, and as you are feeling these negative feelings, you are in the mode of attracting more of the same.

Often as you make a decision to go, or to leave, or to quit, you spend much time following your decision, trying to defend it or rationalize it or justify it, feeling negative emotion while you are doing it. And all of that justifying or defending just adds negative power to your attracting, until you very soon, have created another similar situation. (...)

[The Aligning Work:]

What we encourage is that before you make your decision to leave, to go, to quit, or whatever, that you spend time focusing upon the positive aspects of that experience.

In doing so, you will feel better, and in feeling better, you will change your moe of attraction.

[Then if you decide to stay] your present position improves. [...]
[And if you decide to go] you next position will be better once you take your attention from what was wrong with the last position.

Examples of different places, different faces, same story:

- The woman who believes she has been mistreated by her first husband, often speaks about the reasons she left, long after leaving, and often attracts another bad relationship not so different from the first.

- The man who quits his job because of the unfair treatment offered by his employer, often speaks of it to others, in an attempt to justify to himself and to others, his decision to leave, and thus attracts another unsatisfying work relationship in his new job.

Using The Book of Positive Aspects to Re-align to avoid re-creating negative situations in different places

Our friends, Jerry and Esther, utilize many different hotels as they are gathering friends to visit with us. One particular hotel always seemed to forget they were coming, even though Esther had signed contracts and had called, even on the day of arrival, to confirm. On the last visit to this hotel, Esther was again faced with the task of banging things into position at the last minute by calling for chairs and water, getting the information on the video bulletin, urging the hotel staff to hurry, as the gathering was to begin in less than 30 minutes.

Following the gathering, Esther pondered the appropriateness of moving to a different hotel. We agreed that that was certainly a possibility. However, we did not encourage that they make that decision from their negative position of lack. For as you take action from a negative perspective, taking your negative perspective with you to the new hotel, you will likely attract the same situation from the new hotel.
Esther and Jerry laughter because this hotel was the second in that particular city. They had move from the first for the identical reasons that they were now considering moving from the second.

We encouraged them to purchase a new notebook and entitle it: "Book of Positive Aspects", and to write on the first page:
"Positive Aspects of the ... Hotel in the city of Austin".

Esther began making her entries:
- This is a beautiful facility.
- The hotel staff is very friendly.
- The parking lot is well placed and adequate.
- The hotel has easy access from the interstate highway.
- Our room is always fresh and clean.
- There are many different sizes of meeting rooms to accommodate our varying functions.
- We can utilize a lovely suite for meeting and for sleeping.

As Esther completed her list, she was feeling very good about this hotel, and wondered why she was considering leaving. By putting her attention upon the positive aspects, she had withdrawn her attention from any negative aspects.

As her thoughts changed, her feelings changed, and as her feelings changed - so did her point of attraction.

What you really want:
Because you are Creators, you want to accomplish the Mastery of Creation!


Esther hears herself, and we tease her about it incessantly. She hears herself explaining how "well, it's been that way. It's always been like that! That's just the way that is!" -and we often say when we sneak up on he,r when she's not broadcasting, that

it can be any way you want it to be.

-You don't have to keep regurgitating what is!
-Things do change.
-They just keep changing to the same thing, if you keep focusing on the same way!
-Things are always changing.

Do you want them to change to something different? Or you want them to keep changing into more of what they already are?
-Because they're changing constantly!

Because it's fresh and new: It's constantly changing!

It's constantly changing. Constantly changing.
Do you want it to change to the same thing?
You want it to change to something that's new and different?
You want it to change to something that's better?
Want it to change to more, that's like it's already been?
Different places different faces- same thing.

You want something different? -You got to think about it in a different way!

So that's what we're all about, here: Isn't it finding a way to look at life, through the lens of broader perspective? To look at life through the eyes of source, to begin catching glimpses of who you really are, and what you really want:

Because you are Creators, you want to accomplish the Mastery of Creation.
Which means, you want to know about Law of Attraction.
You want to understand that it's always consistent.
You want to know how it feels within you!
You want to know what your emotions are.
You want to know why your emotions are your guidance system!
You want to know why your guidance system feels, FEELS the way it does, under differing situations!

The path to getting out of a place you don't want,
is to LIKE it.

Jerry and Esther had been giving workshops at a hotel in Austin, Texas, which seemed to regularly forget that they were coming. (...) And then there was always a scurry to get things ready for their workshop.

Esther said to us, "Maybe we should find another hotel!"
And we said (...) it is our expectation that wherever you go, you will take yourself with you, for you take your vibrational habits and patterns with you everywhere you go.

So we told them to (...) write: My Book of Positive Aspects. And then turn to the first page and write: Positive Aspects of Southpark Hotel in Austin.

So Esther began to write:
- It is a beautiful facility.
- It is well situated, very easy access to the interstate and easy to give directions to.
- The parking lot is adequate and convenient
- Our room is always very clean
- There are many sizes of rooms, so we can accommodate whatever size group will be attending...

And as she made these entries, she found herself wondering why she had ever considered finding a new hotel.

In other words, her attention to the positive aspects put her in such a mode of feeling good about this hotel that she cannot attract anything that is not good from that hotel.

- Abraham
