Thank you for this post, POE. I've been away for a while because (for me, and my desires) there didn't seem to be much happening here.
I want to be completely honest (all the time, for myself- and I am certain it's the best I have to give to others as well): I raised my kids with the sentence "Only boring people feel bored", when they nagged me to entertain them, or that they would "neeeeed" something, or that "it would be boring".
YOU create your own reality!
In the time where you've been away, sooooo much has happened for *me*! -There have been so many meaningful, joyful, soothing, fun, hilarious, inspiring interactions. Others might see the very same as mundane, boring stuff- and that is ok. I don't live for them, and I feel the awe, the magic, the goodness of it: There has been so much beauty. There has been uncountable insights. There has been wonderful celebrations: Here on this Forum, and in my "normal" life. But it takes one to see one!
We had this discussion before: The active people come here to do their joyful/soothing work, I like to call it their "service" just like the interactions that can happen in a church, between "source-YOU" and the "you". In this service or "work" you become aware of who you really are, more. And that's not really about others. It is between you and YOU, and so, it might not at all look thrilling (or even discernible) to those who stand outside.
It is not made to entertain!
Abe have often explained that normal humans would prefer drama and even trauma before "nothing" happens (while it is literally impossible that nothing happens, as everything is vibration, and vibration is always in motion. But for those who are trained to look for outside-entertainment, it seems as if things always change to more of the same). Outside-entertainment is hollow and unsatisfying. Because, you must OWN it! You must entertain yourself! "Happiness is HOME MADE!"
The unsatisfied Ones think they would need to observe good-feeling or at least entertaining (and therefore, hopefully "big") stuff. While the key to a truly happy and fulfilled life is living/allowing/enjoying/appreciating a permanent string of happy -seemingly normal- moments. But again, when you are ITV aka in the receptive mode, nothing is "small" in the way of minor or trivial! But, you must be in the receptive mode to "get" the Greatness, that often orgasmic satisfaction, to be able to see and decipher it!
And to be in the receptive mode/the Vortex you must TRAIN yourself -step by humble babystep, a joyful, trusting, loving, friendly focus, where you drop what doesn't feel so good, and choose a focus on what does feel good: Good to you, here and now.
And nobody and no-thing will be able to help you out of being OOTV, when you don't do that.
I've more than a hunch it has to do with What's Going On In The World which clearly comes under the don't-talk-about-it umbrella.
You have mentioned this in another post already. Truly, I have no clue what you really mean!
The whole world talks about the unwanted. And how does that work out? It trains your focus on more of the unwanted, and will bring you more of unwanted.
Clever Abers stopped doing that!
Certainly you CAN talk about everything that is of interest to you. So: WHAT DO YOU WANT? It would be so wise to talk about that!
Yes indeed. I loved Abetalk for its freedom, because freedom is what it's all about for me.
Freedom is the basis of your existence: You are so free, you can choose bondage.
Abraham
I, too, always LOVED freedom! But I have stopped arguing or even fighting for it, as I have realized, freedom is my birthright. I can focus on the freedom I have, or on the absence (and why would I do that!?). Nobody and nothing can take freedom away from you, when you see where the seed of freedom -undestroyably- lies: In your ability to focus WHERE YOU WANT. Be it what feels good- or be it the absence of good feelings! When you focus there long enough, LoA will bring you more and more and more of it.
And when you don't, you will perceive less and less of it: Of either the bad- or the good feeling stuff!
But you are doing it all to yourself: Nobody else can. Noone else has the tools!
But isn't that the guts of it? When we're in our power Abraham makes sense and everything's fun, but the power years are ours for a limited time. Then all the old-age creaks and cracks appear. I 'found' Abraham so very long ago, and I danced. I really did. Everything made sense. Now I feel so very jaded, no longer viable. It hurts.
I'm sorry to hear this. On the other hand, isn't that a perfect example how it all works, and how you could stop the unwanted tendencies, and turn things around?
I feel that. I really do. I have to say that since early 2020 I've wondered how hard I have to work to make Life feel okay to me.
The harder you'll work, the harder it will be (makes sense, yes?) The more jaded and hurt and tired and burned out you'll feel. LoA ALWAYS brings you back exactly what YOU put out!
What comes back is YOUR mirror-image. When you don't put out lightness and joy, that can't be mirrored back to you!
I can't ignore what's going on in the world. I have no doubt that's the topic that brought the previous forum down, and I don't want that to happen again.
Well, that is a story that you tell yourself. Does it feel good? -If not, that means that source does not agree, aka: Source knows that something different is true.
I personally have turned my life around, from terrible poverty and deep depression and me and my children being terminally ill, to living my Paradise on Earth under -in the beginning- not changed conditions, in the middle of all-the old-all-that-is. Unconditionally. You CAN ignore the unwanted, and INSTEAD look at the wanted. And
then, step by step, conditions will change around. "Magic" will happen, which is nothing else than life, reacting to YOUR newly set vibration. Life will feel wonderful, meaningful, like dancing: fresh and new.
They both are always there for you, the Wanted and the Unwanted. And you -eternally- have the Freedom (!) to choose if you want to live Hell on Earth, or Heaven, aka which focus you choose therefore: On wanted or unwanted.
-When I could do it, you can do it as well!
