Preaching Love, Fun and Appreciation

[SheerLuckHolmes]

Probably a decade since I was last on The Abe Forum. Thought I’d check in. Found the old forum shut down & then discovered this new addition…

Lots of growth over the ensuing years, but fun none the less.

I sold my little retail store & retired. Looking to expand & enhance my enjoyment of this end game in the chess match called life.

I took up golf again now that I have time for it again. Figured I’d take a years worth of lessons to shake off the cobwebs, re-oil the joints & hinges and see what I can do now.

So, hello, again to anyone who might recall me. Howdy to everyone else.

Hi SheerLuckHolmes

I'm so happy to see you here again! Your username is familiar : )

Expanding and enhancing your enjoyment sounds like a fantastic plan to me

I grew up in St Louis, Mo - born in 1951. Simpler time.

I had an early interest in all things spooky, weird, you know - all things that go bump in the night. I read everything I could get my hands on that related to the 'far out'. When I ran out of source material from that vein, I found the occult, metaphysical and spiritual of libraries and book stores. I the mid 1990s Jerry & Esther produced & sold an eight cassette tape collection of the Abraham teachings that Esther was communicating at that time. The recordings fascinated me. They captivated me. I listened to them over and over and over until I wore them out & had to get a new set. Somewhere along the journey I stopped listening & went on with life.

Around 2007 or so I ran into Jerry & Esther again and started listening to the teachings again, read their books, found the original AbeForum. Then I stopped listening & reading and start applying and consciously using the Abe teachings. I no longer wanted to think about the teachings..... I wanted to LIVE the teachings.

It has been a long journey of self discovery, self listening & self appreciation. And a rewarding journey to say the least.

I love hearing people's origins stories and how they arrived at Abe! Thank you for sharing

I no longer wanted to think about the teachings..... I wanted to LIVE the teachings.

That's where I am at the moment
Though - I still also enjoy thinking about the teachings as well

I found abe after googling "anger" lol, that led me to all the youtubes and I kept listening. Shortly after I found the abe forum in 2011 I think.
I learned so much from interactions on that forum. I'm so happy I found both abe and the forum. SLH shared the magnet idea with me one day and it made so much sense to me .

I still listen to the youtubes everyday along with many other teachers plus I post my daily thread to keep my focus; I also have fun interacting with forum members on this great forum.

I'm def applying all I've learned into my daily life and no longer have that anger that got me started , when I feel anger or anything with lack I recognize it and shift it.

Hi and warmly welcome SLH!

I also recognize your name from the old forum and it's so nice to see old timers finding their way to this new forum! (And of course nice to see new abers joining as well).

I can relate to finding these teachings and then for a while forgetting about them and just going on with life. In my case after school, I had some period before I started at my first job. In that time I didn't have much contrast in my life and I was really flying high, partly in a conditional way by like listening to the Abe videos etc, but it worked and in that period I felt soo good and felt so much love and appreciation, more than I ever have since. And of course, as a result, everything that came to me was a match to that so everyone was so nice and good things were happening. Then I started working and experienced a lot of new contrast and I had never really learned deliberately applying the teachings so I was mostly observing life and had a quite low period for a while. This was quite many years ago.
But even a long time after, I sometimes listened to Abe videos or read the books but I didn't really try to deliberately apply the teachings in my life. Of course had my ups and downs but not really been deliberately shifitng bad feeling beliefs.

And being in that place, it can be easy sometimes to get used to some level of emotional discomfort, so it starts feeling "normal". But I really miss feeling as good as I once did and I know I can get there if I make feeling better the priority and that's what I am wanting to do now and start to learn to actually apply the processes and working on shifitng any negative beliefs that comes up in my day to day, and also start meditating more. It's nice how we are all on our unique joruney but we can't get it wrong and we won't ever get it done.

Thanks for sharing your story, and I hope you will have a nice time here
