Contrast & Lack (the wrong end of the stick)

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.

Re: Contrast & Lack (the wrong end of the stick)

Post by Paradise-on-Earth »

Observing "what-is" tends to only regurgitate what we already believe.
(Reactivating resistance).


HS:
Is there some kind of a pre-destiny in following that inner guidance, that inner path?

Abe:
Only in this sense: It was decided, or known, as you were making the decision to come into this body, that

You're a creator.
And that through your exploration, you would expand.
And that expansion is necessary and delicious.


But we would call that predetermined or pre-decided by you, intentionality.

HS:
By me -me-, or me -my Inner Self me-?

Abe:
You, your Inner Self.

HS:
Both of us? Teamwork?

Abe:
At that time, there was no split in you, because you hadn't come into consciousness that could think independently. So you said "step one is: I will think independently. I will know what I don't want. I will know what I do want! And in my independent thought, I will discover things that I do not want, and in the discovery of what I don't want, I will simultaneously discover what I do want, because every component of the universe has
wanted and absence of wanted within it."


And you knew that, and you said: "Sometimes it is necessary for life to show me what I don't want, before I can even know what I do want! Because it has to be personal."

So, when life shows you what you don't want, and then you know what you do want- you've launched that rocket of clarity. And you, and therefore we, have reached into a new place where we have never been before! And we immediately go there, because we have no resistance. You are slower in coming along, because you've got beliefs that keep you from immediately going there.

But when your desire for feeling good becomes stronger, than holding to a belief that you don't care about... The other day, we've been telling this story. We may even have told it to you directly! Esther was in Del Mar. She has a house there. She hadn't been there in months, she was sitting at her desk, looking out where the ocean should have been, and couldn't see the ocean. And she realized that in the months that she'd been gone, the trees had grown in, and the bushes from the side had completely obscured her view from sitting at the desk!

Which was why the desk was there. So her gardeners came later that day, and she said: "I'm blocking my own view. Could you guys trim this edge, so that I can see the ocean?" And they said: "Happily!" and then they said: "But there are trees down in the ravine, that might be part of what you're seeing!" and Esther said: "Well, I only own half of that ravine. Just be sure that it's on my property." and they said "We've got you covered!" -and off Esther went to lunch with her friend. They were gone many hours. They shopped and ate and explored, and when Esther came back, she walked onto her deck and went in and looked out the window, and the ocean was back.

She was so happy to see it! Then she looked out a little way on the hillside, up very close to neighboring property, and saw something that made her gasp: Two very large tree stumps. Cut all the way down to the ground. And Esther thought: "How in the world did that happen?? I thought i was so clear!" and then Esther began feeling guilty right away, and so sorry. And then she tried to make herself feel better, and she thought:
"Well, that house is under construction. Maybe it's new people, and they don't know those trees were there!" -so she worried about it for a day or two, off and on, whenever she thought about it.

And then one day, she looked out and she saw a man in a suit standing out on that patio- it's across the ravine, Esther's never been over to that house- standing in a suit, looking at the tree stumps. And then he took his phone out, and took a picture of them, and Esther thought: "I better go confess." But she'd never been over there before, so she didn't know how to get there. Is that a road down, that leads up? Or road up, that leads down? It took her a while to get there. And when she got there, he was already gone. But on her way over, she had practiced her confession: "I didn't mean to do that, and I'm so sorry! But I did do it. And I will make it up to you, in whatever way you want! I'll plant new trees. I'll landscape your whole yard- whatever makes you feel better. I am so sorry!"

-But he wasn't there. So she didn't deliver her speech. So she just went home, and continued to practice it. And then, a day or two later, she went with her friend off to lunch again, and when they got back she said to him: "Look what I did!" -took him out on the patio and pointed at the trees. And her friend said what? "Esther, your gardeners didn't cut those trees down, while we were at lunch! Why isn't the hillside all torn up? Where is the debris from the trees?"

And Esther thought: Hey! and then they walked out to the edge, and she looked up close to her property, and there was a very small stump with all the debris from it lying right there, where they had cut it. And all that had happened is, the gardeners had cut down a little tree that let Esther see things, she wasn't used to seeing. And Esther thought: "It's embarrassing that I believed something so dumb! It was completely illogical. It didn't make any sense at all, that those two men in three or four hours... they would have had to have a helicopter and a saw, and just cut it off at the bottom and carried the whole thing away!"

There was no possible way that that could have happened. But Esther believed that she had done that. The circumstantial evidence was such. The way it had unfolded in her experience- she believed something, that was truly illogical. It shook her up! Esther said: "I bet there's all kinds of really dumb things that I believe, like that, that are in my way! That I just keep carrying forward, for no good reason. Because circumstances just make that the path of least resistance, relative to the momentum that I've got going."

And so, you do- all of you- have many beliefs that you are nurturing, that you continue to keep active. that prevent you from your true reception of what's truly going on. Here's a very powerful statement:

If your desire is strong enough, any belief that's in its way, will fall by the wayside.
But most of you -because of your attention to other humans, and your desire to find mutuality with them, you choose harmony with beliefs that don't serve you- rather than upset them.

Rather than harmony with the beliefs that your Inner Being holds about you, that serve you completely, you don't want to be a freak. You don't want to be a pollyanna. You don't want to believe things that most people don't believe.


You want to believe the circumstantial evidence, because most of you are conditional.
We mean: You, meaning humans, are conditional in your thinking! So you keep observing what-is, and you keep bringing the vibration of what-is forward, even though your very existence means, you are here to create new.

You're not here to regurgitate what's already here!
You are here to become freer. To become wholer. To become newer. To feel better!


You didn't come to regurgitate what-is, and yet, most of those around you are true regurgitators.
And if you stand out not as a regurgitator, sometimes they want to call you weird or freak or pollyanna, or "not facing reality".

HS:
Aren't those regurgitated beliefs manifestations as well (Abe: they are!) ...from something, that happened when you were five or six years old?

Abe:
Something happened 20 years ago, and if you didn't keep thinking about it, it would completely be out of your vibration- within three days! But because you talk about it, you keep bringing it forward 19 years, 18 years, 17 years, 15 years... and so, here it is. Right here, still active in your vibration, even though it has no relevance other than the relevance that you've given it, because you keep it active in your vibration!

So it continues to be in the way of what you want. but your blessed Inner Being- even though your Inner Being knows that you've got things in your way, your Inner Being is always looking for a path of least resistance to call you around it! Over and under it. In other words, to show you that you can get to where you want to be, no matter what beliefs that you hold. But isn't it nice, when you are willing to acknowledge that you have beliefs that are in your way, that are not valid? And what we're saying to you, with this segment, is:

The less you try to find mutuality with the girls in the nail salon, because they're lovely they are lovely and there are positive aspects... Esther one day realized, we've been talking about positive aspects for as long as she can remember. And somehow she was thinking that what we meant was -in every situation, or in every individual, there are positive and negative aspects, so line up the positive ones, line up the negative ones, and focus on the positive ones... and all of a sudden, she understood what we really meant. We meant:

Focus upon any aspect that causes you to feel good, while you focus upon it!

It's not an evaluation. It's not a determining what's positive, and what's negative! It's looking for mutuality with your inner being. It's looking for what feels good when you find it, you see!

HS:
And what feels good- a positive desire can blast out an old negative belief!

Abe:
Because, you see, every individual is like the universe at large. Within every particle of the universe is wanted and absence of it. So, in every individual, there are aspects of them that you want to find mutuality with, and aspects of them that you don't. But most people want the other to change, to be mutual to you, rather than just looking for what is mutual. Or looking somewhere else to find it! Oh, you could be living such wonderful lives, if you would realize, that in every place you look, there is mutuality. And it's up to you, to find it. But when the first thing you do, is find something that's missing- then you harmonize with what you're mutual on, that takes you away from your Inner Being. And then, you struggle and need them to change, so that you can feel better. You got that, didn't you?

HS:
Yeah. Is that... is that mutuality? Because part of me attracted like, some negativity, and part of me attracted some positivity. and everything that I... I attract to myself.

Abe:
That's a perfect statement. Because you've attracted it all.
Nothing is coming to you, that you haven't attracted. But here's the thing: You could be in a place of true alignment. Maybe you've been meditating for a while, and you're tuned in, tapped in, turned on, and you are in alignment, and in that alignment, you attract someone to you- let's say an individual to you, who has that mutuality.

In other words, that person has that potential or maybe even that going on actively, right here right now, and even though they might have a whole lot of other things that you don't want to think about ,or that you don't want to be mutual with, doesn't matter. You are focused upon and active about the thing that does, until you get so nosy about everything, about that person. You meet new people, law of attraction brings you together, and the first thing you do, is: "Tell me about yourself!" and we're in the background, saying: "Don't do that!! Let the law-of-attraction- mutuality be what carries you!"

Don't look around for other things that you might be mutual about, because you might find all kinds of things that neither one of you want to have active in your vibration, that you're mutual about! Because you have all kinds of things within you, that you don't want to be active in your vibration right now. Helpful?

HS:
Yeah, that makes sense, too. Yeah! Yeah, yeah!

Abe:
So, what is life, really? What is it?

Life really is you, seeking alignment with who you really are.
You, seeking alignment with who you really are, you seeking alignment with who you really are, until you discover:
You know when you're satisfied. And when you're not, then moving out and let law of attraction bring to you things that are important to you.

HS:
Well, that's what brought up that predestination I was thinking about. Jerry, manifesting through his own questioning a lot of this, right here... (Abe: yes!) ...and was that like, his Inner Being, calling him into it? (Abe: No question!) ...This is where he's going to, and he just had to... (Abe: No question.) ...allow that to happen and go through his experiences, to get in line with that?

Abe:
Sometimes, when you really want to know something, your Inner Being calls you right through contrasting experiences, in order to inspire you to ask for the thing, that you most want. It's also good: Everything is always working out for you!

Re: Contrast & Lack (the wrong end of the stick)

About the Planet not being in peril about Climate, Evolution and training yourself to see the Wanted

HS:
In the vortex- if the current version of homo sapiens exists, are evolved further version of homo sapiens?

Abe:
Of course! Everything is evolving! Every species is evolving and expanding. You can't be in your physical body for one decade, without your cellular structure evolving. And vibrationally speaking, there has been a much bigger jump, than- as Humanity, you are allowing yourself to experience! In other words, as people keep finding more ways to hold to their resistant thoughts, they keep creating new diseases. Now hear this. This is such an important thing to understand... Well, we'll back up and ask you a question. Because sometimes, when you give us your answer, then you hear our answer even better, since it's the same answer.

Do you acknowledge that diseases are expanding in your physical environment? That new diseases are showing up? So, if there is new "I know what I don't want", doesn't that mean that there a automatically have to be equal and equivalent new "I know what I do want"? -This time space reality has more contrast than ever before. And therefore, more asking than ever before. And therefore, more vibrational evolution than ever before! But the question usually- and we think even this time, is asked from the framework of "well, is our physical beingness evolving?" -and we say, "it has the potential of enormous expansion!"

But you drag your heels in catching up with it! You hold to Scientific standards, and you won't allow yourself to look how the medical community throws a fit, if anybody suggests that you have the ability to heal through the power of your mind. They just freak out over that idea! They want you to be this physical-biological being that only they can see, through their instruments. And when they come to understand... we've been telling doctors and scientists for a long time:

"When you are no longer looking for cures to diseases, and instead are looking for vibrational Alignment to Unlocking Wellness through Vibrational Wellness...
when you start approaching medicine and science through the lens of vibration- now you'll really be on to something, you see!"


So: yes. Oh, your species has evolved tremendously!! And any one of you, who spends a good deal of time in the vortex, begins to feel the vitality and the expansion and the utter, continuing well-being, of the absence of resistance that's really what is required, in order for any of you to experience- while you're here in this body, next generation and the next one and the next one,, you see that don't you? Don't you see the clarity of your kids coming forth? Have you heard their conversation when they're two, lately? You were seven!

Just kidding. But they are! They are clearer. They are smarter in the sense, that they are more allowing of who they really are, you see. So there is an enormous potential. But you don't have to wait until you are born into a physical body, as an infant, to reap the benefit of that expansion!

You can begin it right here, right now- today!!- by like peeling the layers of the onion.
Leaving more and more resistance behind! Because every time you relax instead of tense, every time you laugh instead of complain and moan every time, you praise rather than condemn!


Every time you offer a sincere compliment, rather than a sincere pointing out of some flaw.
Every time you love rather than hate, or worry or fear.
Every time you choose that in-the-vortex-vibrational-stance, you allow yourself some of that evolution that's waiting for you there!
You don't have to wait until you are born again!

You can be born again right now! Born again, right now. Born again right now! Jerry was reminding Esther of something that happened to him many many years ago, where he had been caught up in this continuous relationship, where he just couldn't win. It went on and on and on and on and on, and he didn't know at that time how much he had put into his Vortex of creation. But on that day, he finally saw that there were too many moving parts. And he was never going to move that in the place that he needed it to be, in order to feel happy. He just let go of all of it, and he moved into the Vortex so swiftly, that he was a different being. Metaphysical people would have said "Oh, oh! You're a walk-in! Your old angry spirit left, and a new nicer one came in."

And we say, it is nothing like that! It is, when you move into the Vortex, when you release resistance- you allow the full, up to speed evolution of who you are. And we love your question so much, because it's what we're talking about all day every day! When you feel anything less than positive emotion, when you feel negative emotion, negative emotion means: You've expanded, but you're not keeping up!

So, that evolution is what we're talking about all the time.

Isn't it that evolution of all things- evolution of ideas, evolution of physical body, evolution of the content of the cellular body, that you live in all of it?

HS:
Awesome. Thank you! So you've mentioned "peril of the planet", whatever... um, energy of the dinosaurs... we are the energy of the dinosaurs, um, but we're not going to, somehow... become some new version of Homo sapiens? A lighter human being, or something like that? We're going to be sticking around as Homo sapiens?

Abe:
You see, man keeps wanting to make it one way or the other. In other words, "we all evolved from that one thing in the ocean"- and we say: Think about it. If you were a descendant of the monkey, then why are there still monkeys? [Applause] You see... and so we want you to understand, that there is this Source energy, that is intending much variety and balance for the benefit of the co-creating of the whole. And that variety and balance keeps evolving, rather than trying to hold yourself static! That's the thing:

You cannot hold a species back! You cannot hold anything static! Everything must expand. Everything is expanding. And when you let go, when you stop nailing your feet to the floor and you let go, and let yourself go with the flow, then you feel the true exhilaration of life, you see!

Life- if it is not evolving and expanding, is not life!
And if there is not evolution and expanding, there is not joy.
And what is the opposite of joy is: That part of you expanded, and the other part of you is holding you back!


That's what the tension in the human being is about, you see!
It's not present in your beasts. Your domesticated ones act more like you do, all the time, as they hang around with you. But the beasts that are in the wild, the beasts that are in the sea- all that is upon your planet is evolving and expanding. your world is not shrinking and becoming less! It is expanding and becoming more!

You're not becoming less: Well, you're not becoming less intelligent! You're not de-volving, you are evolving! You are expanding, you see. Everything is! And if you don't let yourself go with that, you suffer from it, temporarily. Until you croak.

Your death experience... we try to be as disrespectful of death as we can, since there isn't any! When you have your croaking experience, you let go of all resistance. YOU and you reemerge into the fullness of all that you are!

HS:
So, drop the concept of global warming, um and uh... we're not going to kill ourselves off and there's not going to be an asteroid that's going to come in, supposedly, like how the dinosaurs died... we're not somehow exterminating ourselves- because, didn't the dinosaurs ask for that asteroid, if that was the real circumstance? Etc etc etc etc- just drop all that get happy and move...

Abe:
Well, here's the thing. You said so much, it would take the whole seminar to untangle (HS: isn't that great? -laughter-) the flawed premises that you just uttered! But we are not saying "drop it!" -We're saying "Benefit from it! Let the contrast that you live help you to define what you want and then focus upon what you want! Your planet is not becoming less. It is becoming more!

So when you say "Should we just drop the idea of global warming" -well, first of all, there is so much that we would like to say about that!!
-What instruments were you measuring your Earth-temperature by, in that far away time, that you are now comparing?
-What is your scientific platform?
All of that is incredibly distorted! The next important question that we really would like some of you to ask someone, who's in a place of knowing:

-Who was burning the fossil fuel at the time of the melting of the Ice Age? Who is doing that? It sort of brings you into some points of clarity! But now let's come back around with the environmentalists: Let's assume that they're not crazy. Let's assume that they are taking temperatures and they are watching some things that are happening around the planet, and they are noticing that some of the glaciers are not as robust as they were, and they are feeling some signs of concern. Let's give them that, because they're not making it up!

They are seeing things that are valid and real. Things that are happening on the planet. So let's not set it aside and forget it all together, let's look at it and let's feel the discord of that. Let's feel the discord when someone says to you: "Your planet is in peril!" -and you feel that knot in your stomach because you watched their documentary, and you saw enough vivid detail of what you don't want to be happening, on your planet, that it emptied you out and made you feel that fearful disempowered feeling.

Well, now let's go back to what we were talking about earlier: What does that emotion mean?
People say: "Well it means that our Earth is in peril! And I'm having a normal human response to it." And we say:

"Oh, it means a lot more than that! It means that you have cued up for yourself a perspective about your planet, that the source within you does not hold!
You have found utter disagreement in this thought of peril, then that which the Source within you holds."


And why is that? -Because Source within you is standing in the culmination of all that you've been asking for!

In other words, Source knows that your planet is in a constant state of evolution. And that all things will evolve, to meet the asking that you are asking for! You don't need to worry about so many people, focused upon so many documentaries, that even if a majority of your people were focused upon negative outcomes, and had brought themselves to a fearful place about that- you don't need to worry about that!

Because there is a recycling process that is happening with all of you, that keeps you in balance.
-Old worried ones are croaking.
-New eager ones are being born!
-Those like you are getting into the Vortex, even when the documentary would like to hold you out of it.

There is always the balance. You are always coming into alignment! You will never- it is our promise to you!- you will never, as species upon this planet, you will never -enough of you- be able to focus in a discordant way predominantly enough, that you can do damage to your planet!

The well-being is so much bigger than that!

[Applause] But you can, as individuals, use that topic -or any other- as your current excuse to hold you outside the vortex. And when you're not in the vortex, then you don't have a vibrational place- you're not a cooperative component, you are not then privy to the well-being, you see. What this conversation really speaks to, and you brought it up twice already in the context of these short questions that you've offered:
Human keep wanting to fix what's broken, "so that I can look at it and feel better".

And we say: What you've come for, is to see what you think is broken, which causes you to ask for the improvement. And then give your undivided attention -as source does- to the improvement! And when you give your undivided attention to the improvement, you will be one who immediately begins to experience the benefit of the improvement! Of course you are moving toward less burning of fossil fuels. And you will be better for it: Your air will be clearer. It will feel better to breathe. Your body will enjoy the freshness of it.

Of course there are all kinds of new energies that you are going to discover, that are more compatible! But you could not have discovered them, you would not even know to ask for them, if you hadn't gotten on the "I know what I don't want" side of the equation! And so, if you could stop at an individual- we aren't going to ask it of your culture of or of your mass Consciousness- just you!- if you could get on the "I know what I do want"- side of the things that are coming into your awareness, you'll find yourself in that Vortex. And you will be an example of someone who is thriving. It really is as simple as that!

If you need everyone else to figure it out before you go in, you'll never go in.
Because there's always going to be someone outside the vortex! And that's a good thing: You came to live some step one moments, you see! We just want you to embrace your step one moment! Do you know, that when you get into the Vortex, and you get in there often enough, the Vortex will spit you out on a regular basis. Because life will keep showing you things that will cause you to find a vibration, that doesn't allow you to stay! So the vortex will spit you out. But you know how to get back in! The vortex will spit you out, but you know how to get back in. So, if you spend more and more and more time inside the vortex what begins to happen to you is,

you begin to feel appreciation for the contrast that gave you the wherewithal to create what's in the vortex!

Haven't you had that personal experience? Haven't you lived something that was unpleasant, and oh you would have killed them, if you could. You thought about it often, and now time has passed and you're in the vortex, and you look back on that, and you think to yourself: "If it hadn't been for that- I wouldn't be here. And, oh boy, do I love being here!"
