Quotes of Influence of Others over You

[spiritualcookie]

Spiritual Healers have a Positive Influence over the people they heal

Q. Can we heal people like Jesus did?

A. Indeed.
When your belief is powerful enough, and you are able to transmit
- through your power of influence -
your belief within another.

All healing is done by the individual.
I cannot heal you,
but I can convince you that there is healing for you,
and if you will accept that it can be,
then it can be.

And so, the more certain I am about the ability to heal,
then the more influential I may be to help you.

These Teachings of Abraham
are written to assist you in consciously returning to the knowledge that
you are free and that you always have been free -
and that you always WILL be free
to make your own choices.

There is no satisfaction in allowing someone else to attempt to create your reality.

In fact, it is not possible for anyone else to create your reality.

Abe: You Cannot Disrespect Yourself and Get What You Want
Abraham, Ashville, 10/23/05



...We are going to get all of you with this one!

You would all be all right with who you are if you had been making your decisions based upon how they feel to you all along,
but it is because you have been trying to evaluate yourself through the eyes of others.

Oh, it is really an interesting thing how whatever powers-that-be choose the way you should look.
And then you compare with that and come short almost every time.
Because they have AIR BRUSHES and really good lenses in their cameras.

You are so hard on yourselves when you are someplace different than where you want to be!
And that is what this message is all about. You must soothe yourself into emotional comfort before your desires can become manifest.

You cannot hold yourself in disrespect of self AND get what you want.

[spiritualcookie]

Because others cannot vibrate in your experience,
they cannot affect the outcome of your experience.

They can hold their opinions, but unless their opinion affects your opinion, their opinion matters not at all.

A million people could be pushing against you,
and it would not negatively affect you unless you push back.

They are affecting what happens in THEIR experience.
They are affecting THEIR point of attraction—
but it does not affect you unless you push against them.

People often lose hope because of the influence of others

For the most part only the young are hopeful, but their hope is usually short-lived because of the pressing influence of those who have gone before.

The Acting-Process

HS:
As an actor sometimes I morph and I don't look at it as me, stepping outside of myself.
I look at as me becoming in the moment.

Abe:
What is your preparation when you are attempting, or getting ready to receive inspiration
about a character that you might express?
-Is the character placed in his mood or attitude?
-Is the character placed in his circumstance?

Because it's only once you understand those things, and you're actually able to
acknowledge and emanate the mood, the MOOD of your character,
that the appropriate words would then flow through.

HS:
On camera or in pictures, a lot of people say:
"That's not you!" or "that doesn't look like you at all!" and I say, "Isn't that cool? That's my job."
But I look at it as frames per second on camera as same as frames per second in time-space reality.
And just capturing the essence of who I am. So, if I focus that essence while it's being captured,
it's logical that what you watch back on the tape may not even physically resemble Who I am now,
because that was my focus but...

Abe (interrupting):
That is the best description of deliberate creation that we've ever heard!!
Because everyone is an actor in the sense, that they get to project whatever vibration that they
choose to project.

But if everyone who's listening in, would understand that deliberate creation is just exactly that:
-Understand the role you want to play,
-and find its vibrational emotional basis first,
-and then practice that, so that that's who you ARE.

When you are an actor with other actors around you,
they're responding to who you are, because you are emanating who you are.
And it would be illogical for them to not react to who you actually are.
Well, this is the way the entire universe is responding to you!
The universe is responding to EACH of you.

You are an actor in a role, and everything and everyone else is responding to that
which you are emanating, you see! So, you just need to decide:
Am I a prosperous person, standing here in this role that the universe is reacting to?
Am I a revered and respected co-worker in this environment-
or am I someone that gets beat up and picked on?

Who am I?
Who am I now, what has life brought me to? Who am I, as I stand in this point of Attraction?
Because everyone else is responding to who you are.

This is why everyone who has ever written a movie, wants a really good Cornerstone-
Key Actor. Because they know, you get an actor like that- you just need one actor
like that, an actor that is really in sync with who he is and what's going on!
He will extract from everyone that interacts with him the exact performance or behavior.

You can set the tone in your family!
You can set the tone at your work.
You can set the tone in the part of traffic that's driving where you are!
You are the center of this universe!

HS:
I've been in a situation of, an actor- maybe he's not up to speed, will kind of like
break the scene, and I'm like, how that happened? -Cuz, then I fall off the momentum
and I can feel falling off the momentum...

Abe:
We would spend no time figuring out how well someone is going to respond to you.
That's their job. And if you try to get in their head, then you've lost your character:
You've forgotten who you are.

That's what happens to people all day every day!
You get in the head of your kids, or you get in the head of your mates. Or, you get in
the head of your friends! When you try to dawn the perspective of another, you've
lost your point of attraction. And now, they don't know what to do, you see!

So, just stay in character, friends! Define who you are, and stay in character.
If they throw you off, then they were the dominant character, weren't they?
You're the lead! And everyone else is a cooperative component, who will read your script,
and fill in the pieces- exactly as you have defined it, by the vibrational frequency
that you offer.

Outtake:




DELIBERATE CREATION IS JUST EXACTLY THAT:
-UNDERSTAND THE ROLE YOU WANT TO PLAY.
-And find it's VIBRATIONAL; EMOTIONAL BASIS FIRST-
-and then PRACTICE THAT, so that's WHO YOU ARE.

When you are actor with other actors around you, they'r responding
to who you are. Because you are emanating who you are,
and it would be illogical to them to not react to who you actually are.

Well, this is how the whole Universe is responding to you!
The Universe is responding to each of you!
You are an actor in a role. And EVERYTHING and EVERYONE else
is responding to that which you are emanating, you see!

So, you just need to decide:
Am I a prosperous person, standing here in this role,
that the Universe is reacting to?
Am I a revered and respected co-worker, in this environment?
Or am I someone that gets beat up, and picked on?

WHO AM I?
Who has life brought me to? Who am I, as I stand in THIS point of attraction?

[spiritualcookie]

Physical man, as he moves through his physical experience, interacts with many others.

When he does not have a strong sense of guidance coming forth from within him,
he relies on the opinions and attitudes of others.

And he finds, very early in his life experience, that others are very willing, in fact wanting to express their ideas and opinions and attitudes to him.

His seeking for their ideas is inherently a very good thing, for in all of that there can be much discovery of new thought, and much stimulation for new ideas, indeed for growth.

But when there is interacting with others who have strong ideas of right and wrong - when you have lost your own sense of guidance - then you are buffeted about in all of the differences, becoming more and more confused.

- Abe

Seeing others be examples of appreciating & trusting themselves can influence us to appreciate & trust ourselves

"One who does not trust self, looks to others for approval,
and that in and of itself works against the very thing that he is wanting,
which is to trust himself.

Only by seeing examples of others who DO appreciate and approve of and like themselves,
can anyone be inspired to self-appreciation.
Unfortunately, there are few such examples around.

You would recognize another who truly appreciates himself by noting these characteristics:
- He is usually happy
- Not offering insincere smiles but hte warm and genuine smile that comes from teh eye as well as from his mouth.
- He is one who appreciates you, seeing things in you that you would like to see in you, pointing out to you things that you, perhaps have never seen about yourself."

[spiritualcookie]

As each physical being emerges into his given physical experience, he is immersed in the beliefs and influences that surround him.

Until he recognizes the reservoir of strength and knowledge and guidance that exists within him, he has little resistance ot those surrounding influences.

As you emerge into physical life experience, you usually become a part of a family ro culture, and you are immediately subjected to the beliefs and intentions and confusion of those who surround you as you are born.

- AH

-


[When you are born into physical reality, people around you want] to teach you and influence you, for you are small and not able to tend to even your most basic of needs in those early days of physical experience. (...)

You are continually guided to do and to think in the ways and manners that have gone before you in the particular environment to which you have just been born.
And because the thought that surrounds you -
that you are new and unknowing -
is so pressing, so large and thought by so many, you accept it. (...)
You accept the role of student, seeing nearly everyone else as older and wiser.

You regard yourself as the unknowing one,
and you look outside of yourself for answers to any number of questions on a variety of subjects.

And while you do gain information about how things work in your physical world, this habit of looking outside of yourself for answers causes you to grow further and further from your inner knowledge that you are a strong, self-sufficient, dominant creator of your own experience. (...)

Some of you, as you get older, notice that most others are not as wise as you once thought them to be.

- Abraham Hicks

-


As an influence has touched you,
if it is not in harmony with what you choose - as is indicated as you are feeling a negative emotion - it need not touch you further.
It will not touch you, or alter your experience in any way if you will recognize the warning of the negative emotion, and deliberately consciously, set forth your thought of what is wanted.

But if you do not deliberately think of what you DO choose -instead of the original inharmonious thought that first reached you - then that thought has influenced you, and you are adding your power of influence to it, making it more powerful, still.

- Abraham

[spiritualcookie]

The benefit of influence is the precise reason you have chosen this dimension, shared with so many others and so much influence.

You recognized before your birth here, the power of thought.
You understood the tremendous power of collective, harmonious thought.
You understood that it was not necessary for all thought to harmonize with your desires or thoughts.
You understood before your birth here that all that is necessary for you to benefit by this combined thought is that you control the direction of your own thought and corresponding feeling.

[Paradise-on-Earth]

Global Warming,
living happily (and healthy) ever after, even the Earth seems to be doomed?


HS is worried about global warming, and his family, living in a danger zone.

Abe:
Here is what we would say. We would say "these people that I love have source energy at their core.
And if they are loving life in this physical format, and wanting to continue it, they will be inspired to be
in the right place at the right time."

And then we would soothe ourselves by acknowledging that there is no such thing as death, and that there
is nothing awful about making the transition as a non-physical. Because we are all eternal! In other words,
you really got to get over this death thing, if you are to feel joyful about your physical experience!!

Also, people around the time of the harmonic convergence were applying us with these kinds of
questions and we said: Well you're going to wake up and you're going to say "did I miss something?"
Because these things are not happening all at once. It is a gradual evolution of the energy and then when the y2k-
disaster was upon your doorstep, a dear friend sat here and he had been listening to those who had been
channeling information. They were predicting this ultimate disaster- financial collapse and so on, because of
the computer disaster.

And he said what "will the newspaper read the next day?" and we said "much ado about nothing!" and
that's really what we want to say about all of these negative predictions. They are much ado about something,
that does not have to be in your world! In other words, there is so much more happening on your planet,
because of the bombs that your government is dropping!! And you don't have control about that either. And so,
you just finally have to say:
"Of the many things that I don't have control of, the way this earth spins in its orbit is really high on the list of
things I don't have control about."

HS:
So, can we dispense with global warming? Is that not a human cause problem and can we not to do anything
about it- because it's futile and not be under control?

Abe:
Well, here is what we would like to say about that:
Your planet has been set into motion through the thought from nonphysical. And don't you find it amazing
that your earth spins in its orbit, at all? (HS: yes.)
And don't you think that whatever God it's spinning, can deal with the temperature of it?

HS: which makes sense to me. Absolutely.

Abe:
And and then we want to ask for those who are comparing the temperatures so accurately that they can
pronounce the trend toward warming: What instruments were they using 100, 200, 300, 500, 2000 years ago??
In other words are they even comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges? In other words, we do
not think that the instruments that you're using today to measure, compare at all with whatever it is wherever
they're getting the data from before!

In other words, we don't think they know that the planet is warming. And we don't think you have a broad enough
view, to really give word to a trend!
We think that it is, like so many things, a belief that you need to control a condition.
And you can't control the conditions and get people to move in the direction of what you want, unless you scare
them -a lot.

In other words, because people are not motivated, it seems by the call of source. Look how many hours we spend,
talking to all of you about feeling good. We should not have to do such a sales job about feeling good!!

But it's because you have been oriented for so long that most of you don't take action until something really awful
looms and those who have things to sell have learned that about your personalities. And so they've learned, that
if they're going to get you to move they're going to prod you with something that's painful. And so, that's why most
people get your vote about what they want to do by you weighing all of the consequences of what will happen if
you don't. And in the process of that, people become more and more fearful.

And as they become more and more fearful, they're less and less guided. And as they're less and less guided,
they're more and more vulnerable, and as they're more and more vulnerable, more things they don't want to happen
to them. And then they say: "see, those naysayers were right."

And we say: no!! They weren't. They were just influencing you to that creation of your own reality. You could
have created something more positive, if you had wanted to. And what makes it all all right, is that the dilution ratio
on your planet is still working effectively and by that we mean

The longer the old-timers are here and worrying and worrying, the worse their life gets. But then they croak! And new
ones come in, who are optimistic and expecting better things. And so, when the old ones die who were worried about
global warming, and the new ones are born who aren't... your problem we'll seize! It really is like that.

Plus, those like you, that are contributing to the improvement of the dilution ratio, because even though you are
older, and you have the potential of pushing against, you are deliberately learning to turn downstream. And there
was you're learning to control your own vibration, so your worlds are turning around for you, in the midst of worlds
that aren't necessarily going very well for others.

Haven't you noticed that in times of trauma, there are always those who thrive?
That, in times of financial ruin, there are always those who do just fine.
In times of famine, there are always those who eat.
In times of sickness and drought, there are always those who drink and do fine.

You are not a world that is iving simultaneous lives in the sense, that whatever is happening is happening to
all of you! You are vibrational islands within this environment. And you are living the results of your alignment.
Period.
And to the degree those who are focused negatively influence you, then you create the world that they
point out.
And to degree that those who are around you are influencing you toward feeling better, than to that degree
you create a world that is pleasing to you.
It has always been quite a mixed bag here in this leading-edge environment! That's what makes it so inviting
for the likes of you.

HS:
But you're saying that if enough people think those negative thoughts and envision those possibilities, that that
can influence the Earth. And that can...

Abe:
No! That's not what we said. We said, if enough people get negatively focused, they will mess up their individual
lives. But they have no control in yours!
Enough people can't get worried about global warming to ruin your planet for you!

HS:
I love it!! I'm surrounded... I'm surrounded by people who believe that.

Abe:
Your view of this universe is so miniscule, none of it counts. Just like your view of your human body is so
minuscule. That's why they call it practicing medicine. They have no clue what they're doing! It's surgery with a
chainsaw, is what all of it is. In other words, compared to vibrational alignment on a cellular basis -which is
what you get, when you line up with who you really are, and what you want... in other words, the cells of your
body have created their vibrational escrow, too - and when you're joyful, you let those cells find the thriving that
they want.

And when you're ornery, you don't.
And when you're ornery and you don't, and the cells are not allowed the alignment that they're asking for, then
your physical body has a deficiency of some kind and then you go to somebody outside of you, who take some
awkward awkward method and applies it to your body, usually throwing it more out of balance than bringing it
into balance. And you call that medicine!

And we call it tampering. We call it outside of the basis of that which is the essence of who you are! We want you
to get in alignment with who you are, and then take your action. And when you do, you'll discover that you
have the ability in this body on this earth, to continue to thrive in what we would call an indefinite experience.

We can see no ending to it!
And so, we see no reason whatsoever to take some piece of information -no matter how well documented it is,
from other disconnected beings and use it as the reason to disallow the well-being to flow to me right here, in
my body right now. We've seen this vibrational escrow, you see!

The reason that we speak so powerfully about this is, because we see the energy stream of that which carried
you all here- before your birth. And we know the well-being that was in that stream! And then we see the
physical emergence of all of that which is physically focused, here and now. And we know the power of your
desire and then we get to watch the contrast that you're living, and we have bird's eye view of the birthing of the
new expansion that you are all individually and collectively giving birth to-

so, we've seen your new world!

Because it is born out of the contrast- and we know what it is you are reaching for. And we have to say to you,
that it is only that what you're asking for. The source wraps itself around, so it takes a tremendous amount
of negative attention to even mess up your own life experience!

But source will never go with any of those Rockets about what you do not want.
That's why we are so sure about the positive expansion of your earth-experience, you see.
You're here as the leading edge of that which is source, asking for more, that source is embracing and becoming.

So we know the future of this planet! AND IT IS GOOD.

And if, for any reason, you seek some piece of information that causes you to think contrary of that, you feel
gutwrenching negative emotion. Which is your confirmation, that your thought is against that which the source
within you knows. Isn't that nice to know?
"My fear is there for a reason when they tell me that the world is falling apart and that this is the end, and that my
children will not have a place to be, and that their children may be extinct. And I feel that gut wrenching feeling,
that I have- I've gotta know this thought is bogus!

And it doesn't matter how many scientists with all of their brilliance are coming to the same conclusion- they're
defying what my source knows. And my source knows, because my source was here before. I was all here!
My source was here, when this earth plane was an idea. Source is in on all of that, you see?

You need not worry! And your own guidance will show you, that it's not possible for you to not live happily ever
after. Some will have to die to do, it but it does not mean that it is not possible for you to live right here on planet
Earth, happily ever after!

It is your plan.
It is our plan! It is the promise of your future. And anything else is coming from the disconnected mind of man.

Hanging Around with People who are in a Low Vibration can rub off on you: If you are not stable on your high-vibration-disc, you can let them influence you

HS has drawn away from her low-vibration family but really wants to re-connect.

Abe:
[Before you go to spend time with anyone who is in a low vibration]
Stabilize here (on the high disc), first. STABILIZE here, first!
Because, [before you stabilize] you are here (high disc) and then you are not,
and you are here and then you are not, you are here and then you are not...
you're feeling better and then not, feeling better and then not...

So... if you take the steps to put yourself in closer proximity to them BEFORE you really stabilized there,
then it's more likely that they will influence you to their (low) disc,
than that you will influence them to yours.

So [if you are in your full power and able to be stable on your disc]
the question that we really want to ask you is:
Would it be really be so terrible, if someone that you love resides PERPETUALLY on a disc, that is different from yours?

Think about it! Would that be such a terrible thing?
