Inspiring people /-Teacher, Mentors

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.

Feel appreciation for those who provide examples of Well-being.
How would you know that prosperity was possible if there wasn't some evidence of prosperity around you?
It's all part of this contrast that helps you to sharpen your desire.

--- Abraham

The HS of this interaction is the founder of the original Abe-Forum, David Gordon. He was extremely often in the HS, but he was very humble and shook it off, when we celebrated him for it... by the way, he also got the guidelines of how to manage and keep up an Abraham Forum in a channel-session with Abe.
I feel his nonphysical-presence, now, while I enjoy seeing his face again! I KNOW he loves that we built up Abe-Forum, new!
:vortex:


Looking for an "ELEVATOR SPEECH" of Who or What is Abraham?

(HS is on an Abe cruise, and attendants of the Abe-Seminar wear name-tags, as a sort of entrance-card to the theater)

Abe, choosing the HS: Stand if you think it's you. Yes!

HS:
When I go in the elevator, they see the tag. And some folks say: "what is that?" And so, an elevator speech would be needed, uh, ten or fifteen seconds in length. What is Abraham Hicks? You know, if you could put that in one or two sentences?

Abe:
So the question is: What are you doing here and-

HS:
Who are you? What do you want? Who- you know- What do you represent? What is it?

Abe:
But- but that's a question that YOU're asking, and we gave you that on the Mexican cruise. Play the tape, it was really good! (HS: Oh Yeah!) -But you're asking a different question here.

HS:
Yeah what do I tell someone who asks me in an elevator?

Abe:
You're asking what- how can you explain us briefly. Right. And more important you see, they're not- they're not asking who Abraham is, as much as they are asking what you are finding there. In other words, this is a question that is directed to you not to us! Ok And so if we were standing in your physical shoes this is what we would say: "This is an environment - (you can use whatever word you want) a seminar -

this is an environment, where I explore the art of selfishly devouring the beauty of life.

Now, that's the right answer. But there are a few things wrong with that answer! In other words, everybody's not going to like it, are they? And a teacher is only as effective as his ability to understand where his student is, yes? (HS: Mm hmm. Yes.) So, when you use the word selfish, immediately they think you're doing hedonistic sexual things in here. Or something. Maybe. (big laughter) So you want to find a word that will resonate with them in a way. And so, you look for something that everyone wants, that is softer and so you say:

Oh- or... "I'm on a joy quest, and I found it."
Or, um- "I'm discovering the art of living life from a state of joy, no matter where I'm standing, or what I'm looking at!"
Or "I'm discovering how to tune myself to the best that this world has to offer! And the better job I do, of tuning myself; the better job this world has, of offering it to me!"

(HS: Mm Hmm. Absolutely.)
Or- or "I come for the fun of it, and boy am I having fun! Are you?" (HS: Mm Hmm. Yeah.)
-That sort of thing!

But before you can exude your joy of what you've discovered, you've got to be there you see!

And so- and if you are there, the people that Law of Attraction is causing you to rendezvous with, are either there, too- and will really get what you say, or they're somebody who's reaching for it. And so, not very many words are necessary. Often just a smile, just a - just a sigh of contentment. Just "Ahhh, ah isn't this just a beautiful day?" ...in other words, we really really want you to remember that it is not your work to proselytize anyone! -Or bring them to this work! Let Law of Attraction do its work, and you just be the joyful being that you are. And let Law of Attraction do its work, and just say whatever comes from your joyous heart through your joyous mouth, whenever you feel like it!

But in no way try to talk anybody into anything. We know you know that, but we just thought we'd throw that in. So, an elevator ride really doesn't need to be anything more than an elevator ride.

HS:
Very good. The smile- The smile and the heart say it all very quickly.Thank you. Excellent. A pleasure.

About the Mastery of Buddha, Christ and Muhammad (And why aren't all of their messages alike?)
The TRUE Leader of ourselves is our Inner Being



HS (Jerry):
Why have the massive numbers of mankind followed primarily three teachers- Buddha, Christ and Muhammad, as opposed to the many other teachers who've lived here during the past say, 4,000 years?

Abe:
The examples that you have offered without exception are examples of physical beings who came forth from the Inner World, as did all physical beings. But with greater and clearer intent. With greater wanting, with greater reason for being! They came forth as teachers, not only as participators.

And as they were physical beings, they allowed the opening of that passage-way, so that they could be physical beings; while at the same time allow a broader, greater part of that which is their Inner Being, to come forth into this physical experience. They were, in short, Blended Beings. You may also be aware, that as they came forth, they were not revered instantly. In fact in each of those cases, they were not really revered until long after they were no longer physical beings! It is always difficult for those who are physical to accept that which is new. It is easier to hold fast to the old thought!

It is our absolute knowing, that if those great leaders- any one of them-
were to come forth, expressing clearly their knowing in this time, that they would not be heard!


-That there would be great insistence on the part of those physical beings who are now in power, in the various parts of the world- wanting to hold to different thoughts, whether it is the thought of Christ or the thought of Buddha or the thought of Muhammad, or the thought of another great leader- they would rather hold to those thoughts of old, than to experience and accept that which is now.

HS:
I have a question that I've kind of concerned myself with, since my childhood: As teachers like Moses, Buddha, Christ, Muhammad... went off to themselves and as we understand, made direct contact with the Divine Being, and received these messages, I never could understand why their messages were not all the same! Since I thought, they were reaching the same Supreme Being and being informed. Could you respond to that?

Abe:
There are a number of reasons for that.

The most important reason is because, they were not all asking the same questions.

They were not all at the same point of wanting.
They were not all at the same point of understanding.
They were not all at the same point of experience.
They were at different times, in history.
In different places upon the world.
And they were making contact, or communicating with those,
who were at different points of wanting, and at different points of understanding!

HS:
Thank you, that was very good! There was Muhammad- let's say 1500 years ago, and Jesus 2,000 years ago, and Buddha 2500 years ago and then Moses, centuries before that, who went to themselves and received the information, that started these major religious movements that exist today.

But why do you feel that it is, that there have been no such powerful leaders of thought that have stood out in the last 1500 years? Why have we had such a long spell without, anymore?

Abe:
They are not allowed by those physical beings who are here, to receive them!

HS:
And why is that?

Abe:
It is easier to hold to the thoughts of old, than to create new thought.
It is easier to act out of habit, than to act out of your wanting.


The beliefs that surrounded you when you were born are very powerful. And it takes a very strong being, to live surrounded by beliefs and still allow the knowing that comes forth from within, to guide. Most are not strong enough! They allow the pressure of the group, that surrounds the pressure of the beliefs that abound to keep them from doing the very thing that they intended to do, as they came forth.

HS:
The people that... the adults, the people that are older than them, have more experience. The tendency is to look toward them for guidance and leadership and then, granted yes, this Inner Voice is speaking. But how much can a person actually learn from that personal Inner Voice, without any guidance from those who have had physical experience? That are here, when we're here?

Abe:
The guidance that comes forth from within in the form of emotion,
is the most profound guidance that you will ever experience.
It is much more emphatic, much more precise, much more deliberate,
and much more appropriate than any set of rules that you might gather,
or any set of conversation that you might gather from anyone else, who experiences.


Because they do not see through your eyes!
They have not lived the experience that you are living, you see. In order to understand the value of this guidance system, you must understand that you are more than you see, here!

You are a being that has lived on and on and on, through many births and deaths. You are a cumulative being, that is much much more than you recall from this one physical life experience!

And when you accept that, then you may begin to accept that that broader part of you, that older, wiser You, that You that is connected to all-that-is, has the ability to offer you in any moment emotion or even clear lucid thought to assist you. In knowing the appropriateness of any thought, word or action, in the the moment.

Your guidance system not only knows who you are and what you want in the here and now, it knows the You from the broader perspective, and it knows all of the Inner Beings of all of those, that you are interacting with!

How to achieve Heaven on Earth-
and to teach it through your own example


HS:
My question is this- I've been reading a book called "The Urantia Book" which has been described as The Fifth Epochal Revelation, and there is a question... because you've mentioned previously that heaven doesn't exist. And so I don't know whether you're familiar with the book or the teachings of it...

Abe:
We can feel the vibration of it, as you talk about it!

HS:
Mmhmm yeah. And I guess it... I just wanted to ask what your perception that is. Because it really resonated with me. But yet, it also, you know... your teachings obviously also resonates. I'm left a little bit confused about where the existence of heaven... I guess I'm asking it.

Abe:
Well the nice thing is, our opinion of your opinion is irrelevant! In other words, if you're reading something that feels uncomfortable, that discomfort that you feel is your indicator that the source within you is not in agreement. Not necessarily of what's written, but of your perception of what's written. There are a lot of realities that are being lived in this physical time-space reality. And

there are not two of you, who are perceiving identically!

So what humans are commonly doing with each other, is that you yearn so much- you do! You yearn for someone to understand your perspective! And we want you to cut that out. Because in your trying to explain yourself to each other in a way, to get agreement from others- very often you are training yourself away from your own guidance system. You're training yourself away from your own expansion. And the more life causes you to expand, and the more you train yourself away from that expansion, the more uncomfortable you feel. And so let us say this to you:

We have never seen any of you pick up anything that has been written, created, produced by any other human that was in every case a perfect vibrational match to you, and what's in your vortex!

That isn't the premise that you came forth, into this physical body!
You didn't say "I'll go forth and I'll find the right path, and I'll get with the right pack, and we'll travel in the right circles!" -and we'll say, "...and do the right things. THAT is what you said! You said: "I'll go forth and I'll mix it up. And I will come to my individual awarenesses, because you have become who you've become, before you came into this physical body! There was already plenty in your vortex that lets you know who you are:

You are a LOVER. You were, when you got here!

And the first day that you found a reason to hate someone, you felt the discord of that hate. Because the source within you, no matter how justified you think you are in the pushing against of that injustice, or that thing that you did not want to see- the source within you will not join you in that hatred, you see. And so, this is a conversation that could go on for hours and hours and hours, because there are so many facets to the environment in which you live and so many premises that people are presenting from, and there is a whole lot that people are saying about non-physical, that is so far from what it really is.

The basic premise of most religions could not be more off from the way that it is!
Most religion has you hear, you'r being tested. None of that is true.
Most religion has you hear, you'r inferior to that which is supreme. None of that is true!
Most religion has you isolated and separated from that which is source, and condemned and punished for actions and behaviors. Source isn't doing any of that!

That's why in fact guilt even exists at all: You couldn't feel so bad, if source didn't love you so much!

What about that:
If source wasn't constantly loving you, you wouldn't feel so awful when you find a reason not to feel loved?
And if source wasn't constantly loving everyone else, you wouldn't feel so awful when you're blaming them, either, you see!

So, once you show yourself actively your own guidance,
once you stand in any moment in time and you say "here I am! And source, I know you have an opinion about this child that I'm looking at." And you feel yourself welled up with appreciation, you can feel that your opinion, your approach, your perception right here right now, is so in sync with the source within you, that you are full of the completion of that which is source. That's what positive emotion is!

The better you feel, the more you are completing or allowing the extension of source, right here and now, in this moment in time.
And the worse you feel, the more your desire to be that, is- but the more you are disallowing it, you see.

So we would graze our way across the libraries of your world and across the data fields of your world, we would look for resonance. We would be constantly looking for resonance, but we would not be doing what most humans do- which is exploring the manifestations. Most humans are running around, not even aware that they are vibrational creators, looking at the results of the vibrations that people have been offering.

And then letting their whole life be based upon those manifestations, so then they sort the manifestations in piles: "These are good ones, these are not so good, these are terrible". And, "our religion judges those manifestations as completely inappropriate, and those manifestation is better, and then we conjure some fictitious "Heaven", that is someplace else-

...when your Heaven or your Hell that you are living is your resonance, or your lack of it!
It's your alignment, or you're not!
It's your allowing of the source within you, now. Or not, you see!


Source is never departing from you!
You didn't lose your connection with source, when you came into this physical experience. Source came right here with you. But you can choose thoughts to pinch you off pretty good from it. And you can choose thoughts, that align you with it, right away, you see.

You can live a life of alignment- and you will discover Heaven on Earth.

And from our perspective, what Heaven on Earth really is, is sifting through some contrast and recognizing some negative emotion: That's delicious guidance. "I have guidance within me! I know that I'm off the track of something. But I also know, I gave birth to something more! And the source within me resonated with the more, and became it immediately. And the only reason that I can feel negative emotion right now, is because I expanded, and didn't go! -That's Heaven on Earth. And now, I'm consciously aware of my guidance system- now I can find thoughts that feel a little better. I can give myself some ease in relief!"

-You call that forgiveness. We call it coming back into alignment.
"It's the releasing of the resistance, and the resonance with the source within me. And now I'm back in resonance! And now, my grid is filling in, and now wonderful things are happening everywhere I turn. Sweet people talking to me, intellectual conversations going on, physical stamina and vitality, and flexibility is mine! A feeling of well-being, everywhere I look at is beautiful. I'm zigging and zagging with the best of life. I'm on that vortex that all good things are mine. And there people may be clamoring around, saying "hey, life isn't good! Life isn't good, life is a good, life isn't good..." but I don't hear them: I'm not in the vibrational vicinity of them! -I'm living pure positive energy.

I'm living life in the way that I came forth to live, and standing this example of well-being to others. And when others come into my experience, maybe they were born into my family, maybe I was born to them- maybe I married one of them, maybe I go to school with one of them... some of these clamoring in a vibration that doesn't feel so good. They're saying "hey you, what have you got your head in the clouds? What are you so happy about? You should be down here with us: Living life in the reality that we all live! You should be sifting and sorting through the stuff of life. And- you should be perceiving life more as WE perceive it." And we say: You can't perceive other than you perceive.

And when you tune yourself to the frequencies of well-being, well-being is what will be revealed to you, everywhere you go.

If we were standing in your physical shoes,
we would no longer sift and sort the piles of manifestation!
We would spend ALL of our conscious awareness in looking for the best feeling thought that we could find.
We would tune ourselves constantly to the frequency that allows well-being!
And we would stand as an example of that: So, that when those who see us, see us, they would understand that we are living the well-being that we have been talking about! Teaching to the clarity of our example as best you can. And, you never get it done!

You never get it done, and you cannot get it wrong. And the reason that you cannot get it wrong, is because it is never done!

So, let's say you're standing in a place and you don't feel so good, and with good reason. Something happened, you looked at it, it hurt your feelings. You're out of whack.

The very fact that you can feel negative emotion means, there is a love right now that you are denying.
You couldn't feel pain, if love were not there!


Don't you like knowing that? If there were not love that is more right for you, and more available to you- you would never feel loneliness. Loneliness only exists because you're denying yourself the alignment with what you want! Are you getting this?

Don't try teaching Abraham's teachings to people who aren't ready for it

You must be sensitive to where they are. (...)
It is as if let us say that you are a quantum physics instructor, in very advanced years in college. You would not enjoy very much the teaching of this information to the little ones in first grade, nor would the one in first grade enjoy hearing it from you.
There would be lots of silence.
Nobody saying much of anything, and nobody really communicating because you are too far apart in your current interests you see.

Much of the world is not ready for your understanding, but much of the world IS ready also.
And by Law of Attraction those who are ready for you are being drawn to you, just as you are all drawn to one another. (...)

if you are too far beyond that which another is, then you are of no value, but you are of value to those who are ready for you.


- Abraham

It is through the clarity of your example that you have the greatest offering,
for words don't teach.

Pretend that you are a saint.
Pretend that you have been imbued with an energy of Love,
that is so powerful that it sort of oozes through you!
And pretend that the animals know it, and the babies know it,
and people tuned in, tapped it, turned on know it,
and walk through the day and watch how people respond to you!
