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.
Be nice to yourself!
Rest well.
Eat well.
Get out where beautiful things are!
Play with people who are fun.
Think thoughts that feel good.
Quiet your mind, every now and again.
Think nice things about yourself.
Think nice things about others.
We want you to always (or to try to begin to) assume,
that it is working, it is working, it is working!
"I just can't see where it is going.
But it is working- because it is ALWAYS working.
It is always working:
The Universe is always yielding to me
in the best possible way, that I allow right now."
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!
The only discipline that we would like you to exercise
is to make a decision that nothing is more important than that you feel good,
and that you are going to find thoughts that feel better.
Your cork floating is the only thing that is worthy of discipline.
