Quotes on The Past & Your History

[Paradise-on-Earth]

Somehow, I feel this one fits here as well...


You are powerfully on your path.
And you are just beginning the best part of your life!

Abe

[spiritualcookie]

Without the asking that precedes it,
there could be no answering.

The people of your time are benefiting dramatically from the experiences of those generations that preceded you,
for through the experiences that they lived,
and the desires that were generated within them,
the summoning began.

And today, you are the ones on the Leading Edge of reaping the benefits of what those past generations asked for.

At the same time, you are continuing to ask, and you are now summoning...

and on it goes.

- Abraham, 2008

Abraham: Did His Father Abandon Him or Free Him?



Abraham - San Francisco, CA 8/10/02

G: It's simple to say that he (his birth father) abandoned me, but now...

A: Or freed you.

G: I hadn't thought about it that way, because...

A: ...Freed you to be the chooser of your life without the influence of someone already undecided and unsure.

G: And troubled, he had...

A: Someone who wants more than anything to be of value. Who recognizes that he cannot guide his own life, what possibility does he have of guiding another...

G: Oh Abraham, this is wonderful.

A: ...and wisely said, "You'll do alright."

G: He used to spend a lot of his time in his fishing boat. He didn't, he was very much a loner.

A: He was much more a connected being than you have ever been allowed to believe that he was. Because those who wanted to justify to you his absence, had to make his being gone, wrong.

G: Ahhhh, exactly.

A:They couldn't let his absence be a noble thing, or a virtuous thing, or a guided thing, or a connected thing. It had to be a wrong thing. So you were spoon fed misinformation.

G: Because he got a lot of this ying, ying, yang from his family.

A: Of course he did. He did not stay put. And he did not allow them to pigeonhole him. And he refused to suffer in the ways that they chose to suffer.

G: Well now, because of the vibrational match, now Abraham, I did the very same thing. I fathered a child in another part of the world.

A: And then that child is blessed as you have been blessed.

G: Ahhhaaa. When I think of all the cheap melodrama I've gone through in my own head about all this. I don't have any guilt anymore. I freed him, too. Didn't I?

A:
You did what so many of you intend to do. You come forth and provide an avenue for focused consciousness to have physical experience understanding that while guidance can be beneficial, that guidance is always coming from broader perspective and that Well Being is the order of things.
And so we're just using your example to sort of balance things out just a little bit. There's no right or wrong behavior. We're not saying it's wrong for a father to leave, or it's wrong for a father to stay. Or it's right to live in this way - wrong to live in that way. What we are saying is, you can't get it wrong. And your father didn't get it wrong. And you didn't get it wrong.
And anybody who's decided to make that wrong, is just using that as their temporary excuse to not allow themselves to have all of the riches that this environment is offering to them otherwise, you see.

You can use anything you want as your excuse to not allow Well Being in. And it is amazing how flimsy some of these excuses are. And on your world stage, many would say, "Abraham, this is far from a flimsy excuse...
We would focus in the more poignant now. We would make our relationship with our Source...

G: Oh, all right.

A: about things that you understand fully...

G: Yes, yes.

A: and not nebulous things you are piecing together. Since your father is not unhappy or unhealthy; since there is nothing that can be gained by going back and retracing it, then we just do not encourage it.
We encourage you instead to find something that is tangible in your NOW. And use that to activate your vibration and connect to your Source Energy, as a result of something that is more current.

It is exactly the reason that we think thses virtual realities are so lovely, and delicious, and life giving, and helpful. In other words, we would rather you get into a pure fantasy - than face any kind of factual reality, if the factual reality has the potential of taking you into a place that does not feel good.

[spiritualcookie]

What you are living today
is as a result of the thoughts and feelings
that you have felt before this.

Your future is created
from your perspective of today.

- AH


We spend no time looking back into the past
to try to explain who we are in our now,
because we understand that
our power to create is in our present.

- Abe

-

There is not much power or joy in evaluating the past -
but there is tremendous potential for power and joy
as you are thinking clearly and deliberately attracting, in your Now.

- Abraham

-

Where you now stand is a result of the thoughts and feelings that you have offered before.

But where you are going is as a result of your perspective of where you now stand.

Earlier Civilizations
(...was the Earth ever as populated as today? Is Earth in trouble?)


HS:
You said that the Earth has been populated more than it is today, and I was wondering- was that with humans or did you mean like, with Dinosaurs or something?

Abe:
Your planet is much much much much older than any of your geological discoveries have indicated. And you had far exceeded the population that is here, now, on many occasions.
Your population is always in flux!

HS:
Was that a human population?

Abe:
yes! yes!

HS:
Really? ...So...

Abe:
You are pumping each other into your gas tanks, even as we speak!

HS:
So... so it goes back so... it's... it's tough being on stage with a comedian.

Abe:
Every good one needs a straight man, however!

HS:
I'm always available.
Um, and... and you also said that there have been more technologically advanced societies. Is there any evidence of that? Or, if they've just been so swallowed up into the oil...?

Abe:
The evidence of it... the evidence... very good statement. We'll do the funny ones!
The evidence of it is vibrational. In other words, it is each generation that comes forth... now this is interesting, because this is where we want to clarify something. Because we continue to talk about how you are the Leading Edge! And how, as you are non-physical energy, and then a part of you comes forth and explores this time space reality, and from it you give birth to a desire, and then that desire is held in your vibrational escrow and when you come into alignment with it, then you are able to live it in full manifested form. So, when we say that:

there have been more technologically advanced societies than now!

-Scientists freak out of that. They don't want to hear it at all! Because they can't find the evidence of it. And incidentally, the thing that holds them back most of all
is, not only they're needing to find ,physical evidence of things but they're needing everybody or many people to agree with the physical evidence that they're found, before they will allow themselves to vibrate there! -Which slows them down very much. But what we're getting at here, is: It it seems like a contradiction, but it is not. That, as your Leading Edge Society asks for more and then comes into alignment, that each Society then would be the most Leading Edge. And we want to explain emphatically, that that is always true. But,

we are not in agreement that the high technology is, what makes you the Leading Edge! Because there were civilizations that were doing things with energy that you have not brought yourself back around to, nor need you do.

They were deciphering vibrations of sound and light, and extracting the power from them in ways that, by comparison, makes this society look like the Dark Ages. And many of you, even on this exploration- aren't you impressed with what they were doing with mathematics and equations, that you did not assume were as much in evidence as they were? And there's far far far far far more than that! But, not necessary for you to tap into it! And we, we are continually reminding you, that your quest is joy, and when you come into the vibrational alignment with that anything, that is important to you, it will occur to you.

Do you know what slows civilization down, more than all other things put together? You've been hearing us talking about this vibrational escrow. And oh, if you could witness it energetically as the mass Consciousness-vibrational-escrow,

you would never again worry about the longevity of what's going on here!

In other words, for this swirling energy and law of attraction's response to it, to be what it is, your civilizations and your eternalness are assured! But what we want you to focus upon just for a moment, in light of this basis that you are giving us here, is that as all of this is occurring even as we visit with our deliberate, creative understanding Law of Attraction-knowing about deliberate creation- friends, in an arena like this, still it's a rare one of you that accepts that this vibrational escrow-Vortex exists. And you're still trying to figure out what to do, to make the things happen! Instead of understanding that they have already happened vibrationally. And you're following your bliss, will lead you to the culmination or the manifestation the actualization of them.

Who created Humans?

HS:
Who focused human beings into being? Was it extraterrestrials? You've answered this question before, or maybe it wasn't just this question, but it was a similar one. But yes, that's my question.

Abe:
Well when you accept that you were Source Energy before you came into this physical body, so there is all of this non-physical awareness. But in the evolution of that which you are- in other words, the very first beingness on your planet were not humans or even dinosaurs but even microbes in soil. But even those very elementary organisms were consciousness, having expansion and having comparative experiences. So the evolution has been going on for a long time! As you standing here, we want to answer the question this way first, and then we will come back to any detail
that you are still hungry for.

When you think about creation as we were talking, as we first began here today, that this leading-edge environment is the furtherest, most place where source is focused. Can you accept that- in other words, source energy out here in you, and then you think about human consciousness. And you think about what you're exploring, and what you're deciding, and what you are preferring.

When you think about the desires that are being born within you, and then you think about source holding those thoughts and maintaining the frequency, until that manifestation can occur, as you focus in that way, you can understand how this source energy-consciousness is guiding this evolution! So, all of the controversy over the difference between whether it is God-created, or evolution-created- it is both!

It is source-energies awareness.
But source energy, this is the most significant part of this- the desire, the source energy is then focused upon, is discovered by the leading-edge creator, who is physically focused.

So it's an expansion of consciousness.
You have to accept, that in the same way that your dream state is perceptual- all of this is, too! But you just get so good at perceiving it, that then you want to call it this more concrete reality. So, thought does become matter. So, now ask your question again:

"Who created it?" -Consciousness!

HS:
okay and my question is about consciousness. How it interfaces matter. So a singular cell organism -essentially even though it's just one cell, basically has the same mental capacity if that's the right word, as a being such as myself which is about 13 trillion cells on average...

Abe:
Not really the same mental capacity. Because it's clear that conscious energy...

HS:
Conscious energy- is that a better...

Abe:
There is conscious energy. But the difference is, you think differently than the chicken. Even though you're both thinking! You think differently than the ant, even though you're both thinking. You think differently than the cells in your body- even though they're both thinking.

HS:
okay, so what I'm really asking is- consciousness is not limited or defined by the amount of cells in an organism?

Abe:
Consciousness, whether it's no matter how significant it is as in the case of a human body, or insignificant that it may seem as in the case of a one-celled organism- consciousness is still having its comparative experience where it knows what it doesn't want, and knows what it does want. In other words, there is always this expectation of improvement. And and so, the consciousness of the trillions of cells in your body are all adding to the consciousness that is you.You really can't separate one from the other! Here's another way of going here and and and we really are out here on the leading edge of thought. But we think it will be satisfying to all of you. We've touched on it earlier, it seems to be the theme of this gathering, today!

When you accept that you are a Creator.
And you accept that you are standing in an environment that is giving you the inspiration to expand,
and you accept that it's not just you, that's being inspired- it's all that has ever been, that has been inspired!
-then you begin to realize that the individuality that you're wanting to call "you, the Creator"- is never as individual as you have thought that it was!

All of source is flowing through you, in any moment in time!

Here's another way of saying it, because that got a little murky and some of you didn't follow it all the way through. -Look at it this way: So, sometimes people will say, "so, Abraham. I'm out here and I'm mixing it up and I'm putting rockets of desire into my vortex of creation." -We say: "yes, you are!" and they'll say: "And everybody else is doing it, too." -And we say: "Yes that is true. Even one-celled organisms."

So, here is this vortex of request, or desire, that source immediately Becomes. So, then here you are walking around in your body, in your day, having your exposure to your life-experience. Using something -anything- as your object of attention, that is causing you to align with the fullness of who you are. So, all of that consciousness, all of that knowing, is available to you, right here, right now in this moment!

HS:
To one cell, or the trillion.

Abe:
So, as you are focused in a way, that is causing no resistance in your experience, everything that has anything to do with you, has access to all of that, you see. So,
then you run around like that, and it influences your mother and you influence your brother and you influence your lover and your infant... in other words, when you are in tune with that... So, really there are many points that we are making with that. But the primary point that you were asking for, that we really want to make central to this discussion is that:

When you take the time to feel good, you have access to the whole of all of it. And that doesn't mean that you could translate or articulate all of it right here, this red-hot minute. That would be a pretty expensive moment in time! But anything that is important to where you are standing and who you are being and what you are doing and what you are wanting, then is available.

And that's why those highs in those moments feel so extraordinary. People are always wanting to have the discussion of "are we all one", and we say that's hard for you to accept, as you look around at your individual clumps on individual chairs, but

it is true that when you use anything as your excuse to resonate with that high frequency vibration, that then you have access to everything, that this source energy is, that's always been flowing to you in any moment in time. Whether you knew that it was, or not.

In other words- you don't have to learn this to earn this. It's always been present but you have to you have to be in the vibrational frequency of it, in order for it to be revealed to you, or translated by you. Esther was saying to her sister this morning: "I always thought that what revelation was, was that someone else like God would be really smart. And if I was worthy enough, that then God would reveal to me meaning. God would tell me what he knows. The revelation would come to me because of my worthiness!" and Esther said, "now I get that the revelation always means: I have to achieve a vibrational frequency that allows me to interpret it!"

In other words, it's not someone else, giving it to me. It's me, achieving vibrational alignment with the knowledge that the whole is achieved. And so, look at it this way: You as an individual creator are putting plenty of knowledge into your vortex. But there's a whole lot more knowledge, that you haven't put there, that is there! And is available to you! -DNA knowledge, cellular knowledge. There's all kinds of knowledge, that is available to you. That you can't and don't want to articulate, and don't have to!

All you have to do, is find some reason -takes ten minutes!- to feel good.
And as you find that reason to feel good, now you are in a vibrational frequency that allows the translation, or the revelation for everything that you're asking for, you
see!

And that, really, that's the best definition of what people are reaching for when they use the word worthiness, that we could fashion. In other words when you get it, that source is there for you. And logically speaking, it must be way more than you, are but vibrationally speaking, you have access to every bit of
it. So that, when life causes you to ask, what you're asked for it asking for is given -once you show yourself, that then...

then you begin being the being, that you came to be.

NOTHING IS EVER WRONG!
(It only takes 30 days to come into true, unconditional love)

Well friends, we think you've got it! We think that you now understand, that you are Source Energy in physical bodies, yes?
-Do you get it, that you've come here with purpose to understand that that purpose is expansion joyous expansion?
-Do you understand that you never get it done, and you cannot get it wrong,
-and the reason that you can't get it wrong is, because it's never done!?

So even though it may sound or feel out of balance, and maybe even wrong, that it really isn't wrong.

Because, in the feeling of wrongness, you're giving birth to your opinion of what would be better, and the source within you so trusts your opinion of what would be better for you, that the source within you embraces that idea completely. And becomes a vibrational equivalent to it! And holds steady there, until you find your way there.

We've talked about the fun of croaking- you're still not there, are you?
We've talked about the deliciousness of releasing resistance, through what you call the death experience, and we've talked about releasing resistance through meditation- quieting the mind.
We've talked about releasing resistance through appreciation.

But you have to be somewhere in the vicinity of appreciation, to release resistance! But do you know, with every feeling of relief that you find, as you make your way up the emotional scale- with every feeling of relief there, is the releasing of resistance. And so every effort that you make to release a little resistance is really worth the effort! Because in time, because of the vastness of the variety of your life,

the subjects that are alive and active in your now, are enough for you to release all resistance that you've accumulated over a lifetime!

Do you know that you don't have to go back and make peace with some wrongdoing, that happened 20 years ago or 30 years ago- or yesterday?

You don't have to go back and fix all of those things. Because whatever is active in your vibration now is bringing you current, real life, active, poignant, meaningful-now matches!

You're attracting the vibrational evidence that shows you what you're doing:
Do you know that what you're living, and the way it is playing out, is your vibrational indicator?
Do you know, what's going on in your body is just an indicator of your vibration?
Do you know that what's happening in your life- in terms of relationship, is just a vibrational indicator?
Do you know the money in your bank account is a vibrational indicator?

Everything that is manifested, the car that you're driving, the house that you're living in, the clothes that you're wearing, the condition of your body- everything about your life, is a vibrational indicator.

And those indications of vibration are being shown to you all day, every day. In the form of the emotion that you feel! So, if you leave here with one decision within you, and it goes like this:

"I now understand the importance of recognizing how I feel.
And I do care about feeling as good as I can feel, about that and that and that."

So, somebody you love tells you a lie, and it hits you hard. And you think: "They shouldn't lie to me. They should trust me more! I wish they wouldn't lie." And then you try to wrestle them to the ground, and you try to figure out why they are lying, and you try to figure out where the lies started, and you try to understand the motive of the lie- and all you do is get yourself in a scramble. Because you can't begin to understand it! You couldn't sort it out, if you had a hundred lifetimes to do it. But you can recognize that your attention to this subject is causing you discomfort, right here and now! And you could choose a better feeling thought!

-So you find a thought that goes something like: "I don't understand where they're coming from!" -and that gives you a little relief.
-And then you think of the thoughts such as: "Well, I have told a lie before." And that might make you feel better, too!
-And then you think a thought such as "The only time I've ever lied was, because I didn't think the person would like, what I thought to be the truth. And I wanted them to feel as good as they could feel. So, maybe there is some compassion in lying somewhere?" -and you feel a little better.
-And then you think: "I don't know why I'm making such a big thing about this."
-And then you think "I can't even remember what the subject to hand was!"
-and then you think "I think I've been making a big deal out of nothing."
-and then you think "this is a person who I really love."
-and then you think "it really doesn't matter what they're doing! It really only matters how I feel about them!"
-and then you think "I should not ask them to behave in certain ways in order to love them! Because, I am one who offers unconditional love."

And as you work your way through issue after issue, with person after person, and subject after subject- before you know it, within one or two or three days, certainly four or five- and absolutely within 30!! -you will have had enough real-life experiences show you the vibrational evidence, of what's going on with your vibration: That you can clean it ALL up! Within 30 days, you can have cleaned up enough of your vibration- and

by "cleaning up", all we mean is: Find a better feeling thought!

Find a better feeling thought, find a better feeling thought, find a better feeling thought... that...
Do you know that you are 30 days or less from being a vibrational match to the source, that is really you?
To the reason that you were born, to the coming forth into this physical experience?
To the living the joyous life-experience, that you have come to live?
To the being a vibrational match to what's in your vibrational escrow?
To the getting inside everything, that you've ever asked for?

Do you know how close you are, in terms of time, having everything that life so far has caused you to ask for?

It's such a short distance!
It just requires some caring about how you feel. And a willingness, to move yourself deliberately up the emotional scale, and back into vibrational alignment with who you really are. As you do that every day, you'll see the world a little more through the eyes of source! And as you begin to view your magnificent world through the eyes of source, you will then revel in your beingness, and in that of others, and you will feel pride, and worth, beyond physical description. And you will begin to express to others:

I've come forth with great reason into this physical body and that reason is for joyous expansion and I wish that for all.

From the youtube-clip "Abraham Hicks - Practice the feeling of Unconditional LOVE / No Ads during"

[Paradise-on-Earth]

Leaving inanimate objects (and the past) behind...?
How do objects interact with us?


HS:
I wanted to ask about not just how we vibrate, but is it possible for objects or things to vibrate?

Abe:
Everything, everything does!
In fact, you take a gong or something that you're deliberately making a sound with, it never stops vibrating. Your ability to hear it comes to an end. But the vibration of it never ends! It continues to be a cooperative component throughout the Universe.

HS:
The reason- or, what brought me to that question was, a while back I had an experience where I was getting ready to move up here, about 10 years ago. And as I was packing, I had to reduce the items that I had. Couldn't take everything with me. And I had a yearbook which I almost felt like I needed to keep! Because, it was like you're supposed to keep your yearbook-stuff. I had my other yearbooks for later years, but that particular yearbook didn't mean...

Abe:
We understand. "How are you going to prevent yourself from moving forward, if you don't drag your past around with you?"

HS:
That's kind of what I do. Sometimes without realizing it. What happened is, during that packing, I literally just decided, you know: "I got to go. Just toss it." I was like "I don't need to take it with me, I have the memories and all that other stuff. And when I tossed it into the trash can, my friend who was helping me at the time, her eyes widened and she looked... looked at me, like... we were just kind of moving different objects. And she said "what was that ?" and I felt something, too, and it felt like something went with it. So that's kind of why I was wondering, if... do objects have their own, to some degree, attractive power, if that makes sense? Or they hold a vibration?

Abe:
Yes, they do. But that's not what that was about! Everything is vibrational. And of course, when you think about something, you establish a vibrational relationship with it.

So, others objects, circumstances and events morph to the dominant expectation that you've got going! But what you both sensed fly by, was your decision to move forward, and not drag the past with you! In other words, the book went. And then, everything that that represented... it's like when you re-emerge into non-physical. You leave behind all awarenesses, any habit of thought. Any practiced thought you no longer take with you. A current active vibration of anything, that while you were in your body, felt like doubt or fear or worry or any of that.

And of course, your past is full of wonderful things! But it still will distract you from your now, where all of your power is. And from your vibrational reality, where your true now is!

So, we're glad you have that experience- a visceral sensing. You can't even say "you saw it" as much as you "felt it or you sensed it".

HS:
It was more specifically like the fact, that someone else felt something like that, you know! It was just kind of interesting so that's why I.. I was wondering if you know objects in different places, kind of...

Abe:
Everything does! Everything that's been touched. Everything that's been created. That's why art attracts certain buyers! The feeling of the artist is imbued in it. Everything is vibrational, and those who have focused upon the object imbue the object with their vibrational awareness. Can you feel what a dynamic Universe you live in?

Can you feel what a dynamic WORLD you live in? Let's not get carried away with this. Because you don't want to be running around worrying about what your chair is thinking about you! "I wish you'd get off me!" -nothing like that going on!

HS:
Uh, well yeah... when I went to the my first Abraham Workshop (...) you said whatever's going on in your environment tends to support what's going on in your environment, and then the fire alarm went off. And you talked about how it got your attention. And so I was just wondering if that's why I had the question, is... you know, if objects were sort of holding that vibration and supporting old things, so when I let go of something it was kind of...

Abe:
Well let's move this into a more beneficial Place.
Everything that you've ever lived is part of the reason that you are where you are. The question that we want to speak bluntly to you, is: which awareness do you believe holds more power? -Where you are, or where you were before?

You are where you are. It's like, you were three and you were four and you were six and you were 10 and some of those thoughts are really fun to think about, as you dig out pictures and hear from others about it, but your power isn't there. But part of what you are now is a result of what you were then! But what you are now, that's what is most important. And that's what... that's what! THAT'S what- ooh that's what the non-physical Inner Being You is focused upon!

The Inner Being You is focused with you, in your right now, not looking back AT that stuff, that you're regurgitating from before!

It's sometimes sweet. Sometimes nostalgic. It's got a little mix of stuff in it, but it's not where your power is!!

HS:
Yeah, uh, yeah... I... I just thought, because, uh that was the best objective example of what I think when I interact with different things! Sometimes being aware of how things might vibrate ...so that's well.

Abe:
Why do you CARE?

HS:
I don't know, I feel like you kind of... fine...

Abe:
We're not criticizing you for caring! We're asking you... we know we're fine. We're asking you...

HS:
...that's more my anxiety!

Abe:
We're asking you: Why is it of interest that what you want to call inanimate, which implies is non-vibrational objects, have vibration?

HS:
I... I just realized what it was. It's... it's that I I've often used objects or things as my focus to distract from, like frustrating things. If I'm at work, then you know, I go to this thing that makes me feel better, or you know... things like that. And I realize that might be the basis of the question.

Abe:
That's exactly right. As we move forward, you will all hear more about this.


from the youtube clip "Abraham Hicks 2024 - Do objects have vibration The law of attraction"

[spiritualcookie]

Something that you lived a long time ago that is not active in your vibration,
or something that you lived yesterday that you are not thinking about right now,
does not have any vibrational weight in your point of attraction: none whatsoever.
So you do not have to rid yourself of all negative thoughts.
[It's just a matter of inactivating negative thoughts, by putting your focus elsewhere, on something good, wanted and feel-good.]

- Abraham

[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!
