When you don't get wanted movement, you probably tell an "old story" with lots of unwanted momentum
Whatever you're living-
whether it is about your body, or whether it is about your relationship, or whether it is about your money- no matter what it is about, whatever you're living is only a temporary, in-the-moment INDICATOR of your temporary in-the-moment vibrational offering. That's all it is! The only problem is, you don't know that your vibrational offering is temporary.
-Because you've been speaking those words for so long, they're stuck in your vibrational craw.
-You've been telling the same story for so long, you don't know any new stories!
-Somehow you got convinced that you should tell it "like it is".
Now, let's play that over! What we were just saying, "tell it like it is": Your mother says "tell me the truth of what is!" -so you say: "I don't have enough money. I don't have enough money. I don't have enough money. I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I don't like what you're doing. I don't like what you're doing with my money. I don't like what you're doing with my government! I don't like what you're doing..." -we're making a point here. And we know it's getting annoying to you, but
we want you to understand, that you got to tell a different story!!
Did we make a point with you about these two points of vibrational offerings, that are going on? There's the larger you, and then there's the physical you. Do you get that? Do you believe it? Do you understand that you are this Source-energy-being? So, listen to the difference in the drums that are being beat!
-"I don't have enough money. I don't have enough money. I don't have enough money. I don't have enough money. I've never had enough money!"
-"There's plenty of money! The money is here. The things are lined up. The resources are in place. Circumstances and events have been arranged! The money is here. The money is here! Look over here! Look over here! Look over here! Look over here! Look over here!"
Now we want to depict the emotional difference:
-"I don't have enough money! I don't have enough money. Why don't I have enough money? I'm so sorry that I don't have enough money! What have I done wrong? I should have known better! They should have known better!"
-"There's plenty of money! Nothing has gone wrong. Everything that you want is lined up for you! Whenever you're ready, it's right here for you! There's nothing you need to do. You've done all the work. All you need to do, is relax and allow what you want, to flow into your experience!"
You want to begin to listen to the drum of the source within you!
You want to listen to the call of source source, that is calling you in the direction of what you want.
And the way you know that you're moving in the direction, is because things start lighting up for you. Meaning, that they begin feeling really really good to you, when you get on this track of following the trail, that has been pre-paved by you, and being tended by the Source within you, and is calling you toward what you're wanting!
You feel energized. You feel enthusiasm! And yet, you know what your physical world trains you to do. Your physical world says: "if it feels good, you need to be wary." You say to your friends: "Oh, I'm so excited about this!" and they say: "Watch out! Watch out, that positive emotion could mean something's going very very wrong for you! I've known other people, who were positive. And bad things happened to them. I think, you better play it safe. I think, you better stay right where you are! I know he beats you, but he makes a good living!"
And what we're wanting you to understand, is the way you feel is everything.
Because the way you feel is your indication of whether you're closing the gap between who you're letting yourself be, and who you really are. Or whether you're widening the gap.
And you're going to get so, that you can feel statement by statement, whether it's downstream or upstream, downstream or upstream.
The downstream statement always feels like relief.
It doesn't always feel like sunshine, lollipops and roses. It doesn't always feel like the best-feeling thing that you've ever felt! But the downstream thought, from where you stand, always feels better.

The 17 Second -Rule and -Process:
How fast momentum adds up when you hold a PURE thought!
Hold a thought for as little as 17 seconds- there's enough attraction power in that consistent thought- by holding the thought, we mean holding it without contradicting it, holding the thought purely without introducing resistance, then Law of Attraction will add momentum to that thought.
Another 17 seconds, and then another, and once you cross the 68 second mark, there's enough momentum to start receiving thought about it. To start receiving impulse about it. Surprisingly, 68 seconds is a rather long time to focus purely! Because you are all sort of accustomed to pros and cons, and pluses and minuses. And being very objective about things! And because every subject is two subjects, and you often have activated the not wanted end of the stick- so even though you're making a statement of what you do want, the other end of the stick is rather active. If you can accept that, the whole purpose of paying attention to that 17 seconds is to affect the way you feel, and nothing more than that.
So, that you can find that 17 seconds, and stay there, and then another- until your enthusiasm for it is building. That's all you have to accomplish!
If you can get across that 68 second mark and even beyond, everything else will take care of itself. that really is the most productive process that we could ever offer to any of you! Because in accepting these facts, it accepts that you have already created the vibrational reality that you now want to blossom out. And to see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, touch it- fashion. So it already exists. And as you are now playing this 17-second game, with that knowledge that it does already exist -and that it is a foregone conclusion that it will manifest, but you're not going to get hung up in the treacherous territory! Because that distance between the emotion and the manifestation is where you throw the most stuff on the trail. That's where you throw all the resistance on the trail!
So, if you only come this far, where there's no resistance. And you maintain it, until you own it, and then you come there again, on another subject, and another subject, and another subject, and another subject- until you are in that emotional state of positive expectation: oh then the inspiration just blossoms! You just find yourself feeling inspiration. Your timing becomes really good! The entire universe cooperates with you. You just almost stand in amazement at the Universe's ability, to give you timing!
Creation is about timing more than anything else!
And unless you've accomplished that part of it, your timing is off. If you've been trying to deal with the condition rather than with the emotion- ooh that's another piece of it, that we said powerfully:
Just feel it and never mind how it plays out! That's not your business! You've already accomplished your manifestation:
Your manifestation of feeling the energy move. You know, if you got that far- the rest is inevitable.

When you get dominated by others...
It's ALL about Attraction!
HS:
Why is it that I let people an ability into what they like or what they want me to be... I don't know who I am, basically.
Abe:
Well you're not alone in that. But it's basically because... it's exactly because... it's precisely because... oh we're out of time. [laughter] It's because coming into this experience, you- like almost everybody else- were focused in your physical way, surrounded by people who wanted behavior from you, that made them feel better.
-So, you were guided away from your guidance system.
-It's also about momentum.
-It's also about that statement that you just made! In other words, you just made a statement that puts you on a grid spinning disc, that's about here (low). And when that's where your disc is spinning, then only people that do that to you, can get on with you.
It's like you get on, and you say: "All right, folks! This is the party we're having: I don't know what I want. I've never known what I want! People just have their way with me. So if you're going to come and play with me, I need you to boss me around. -I don't like it! I'll struggle, I'll complain about it. I'll complain to a lot of people about it, and they'll get on, too. We'll even do it to each other! We'll do it to each other."
So now you know you're doing it, when you find yourself doing that, you might want to pull back from that thought! You might want to try to find other statements, that get you on different disks, now!
It's not ever a good idea for us to attempt disk-jumping.
This jumping is sort of like quantum leaping. This jumping doesn't work very well in an environment like this! Sometimes it works better than others, because we can focus together in a powerful way. But when you feel strongly about something, then the way you feel is because of the vibration that you've got going on. And its relationship to who you really are, and what you really want. So, there's just a momentum that you want to cycle down. Or you can lay some new pipes! So let's take a little bit of time here and lay some new pipes about it! So are you saying to us, that you don't know what you want. Do you think that's really true?
So it isn't, that you don't know what you want! It's that other people seem to know more what they want.
Do you mean that? Or are people really bossing you around?
HS:
Um, I don't know if it's bossing, or manipulating, if that makes any sense?
Abe:
Sort of the same. Here's a really good word: Other people are influencing me around.
"Other people are influencing me around, because they've got more momentum going and I don't have any momentum going. So, every time I come out the door, I just get sucked onto their disc"."
But you see, it's not like that. You're not just getting sucked onto their disk. You practiced being there, before you opened your door! And when you opened your door, you said: "Hello, vibrational (...) compatible person! Hello vibrationally compatible friend! Hello, hello!"
-Jerry thought it'd be great, that there would be islands of incarceration. Rapists all on one island, where they could do it to each other. Murderers all on one island, where they could do it to each other. Thieves on one island, where they could do it to each other. And we said: You've got those "islands". The audience didn't like it, the day that we told them that. Because,
they don't think that the victim should be on the same island with the victimizer! But it's the way it works out!
So what might you say right here and now, to make you change discs? "Come on, come on, come on!!!?" You CAN`T, can you!
You just have to fall out of the airplane. You're at 30 000 feet (altitude), which is high and cold. Just let it happen, and soon it'll be over. And then, you just lay new pipes. And the way you lay new pipes, is by acknowledging:
"All right. I accept that I am the Creator of my own reality." Do you? (HS: Yes.)
I accept that I'm a vibrational offerer!
I accept that I choose to think thoughts, that place me on these spinning discs, and that law of attraction is going to bring other things like that to me."
You accept all of that, don't you? So, now- maybe- as far as you want to, or need to, or can go right now, is to say:
"I'm glad to know about my point of attraction!
And I'm glad I know that I have choices." -You do, don't you? You can choose general thoughts!
We'll give you some general thoughts to choose:
-I can get this!
-I'm not very good at it.
Which disc would you like to jump on, right now?
HS:
I can get this.
Abe:
-I don't need to figure it out, right now.
-I damn well better figure it out right now!
Which disc would you like to jump on?
-No one understands me!
-All I need is alignment with source.
Which disk would you like to choose?
...These are easy choices for you!
-I'm working too hard at this.
-This is getting easier all the time! I don't have to figure it out, all at once.
Which would you like to choose?
You see, what we're getting at- in other words, "what do I want to add momentum to?"
You're going to have a lot of fun in the days before you, as you begin noticing what momentum you are perpetuating!

Example of how Momentum Works
All of a sudden Esther one day after meditation she felt this really powerful urge for a van.
A van small enough she can handle on her own, with all of the conveniences that she might want so that she could take it to the beach and spend the day and enjoy being at the beach with a bathroom with a stove with all of the things that she wants.
And in the moment that it hatched it was so strong!
But it didn't just all of a sudden happen.
It happened because she'd been to the beach and she wanted a bathroom and she went to the bathroom and she lost her parking place...
It happened from the things that she was experiencing.
And because of the [momentum of the] experiences she's had with the comfort of those kind of things before,
Once it erupted it was like there was no question that this was something that she wanted.

The "going with the stream-Analogy".
(There is no devil!)
HS:
I have already intersected with a person who has all of the combination of qualities that I could ever imagine wanting or needing. And I've also intersected recently with many people who see things in me, the qualities that they want and need. And so my downstream story is, that someday soon, the man that I'm into, and the man who's into me, is actually going to be the same person!
Abe:
And funny as that story was, and potentially negative as it could be- it wasn't negative! Because what you're saying is: "I'm seeing the components. And now I believe that they could rendezvous at the same place at the same time! And knowing that, will make it "soon".
HS:
Absolutely. And and what I just got when you were talking to the woman before, is- that it is closer than I really realized. Because I just got the connection that I've already seen the signs! So I get it! So, um, now for all those years that I was a vibrational mess, a match to mismatch, since everything is about my relationship with myself- does that just mean, my Inner Being just wasn't that into me?
Abe:
No!! No. What it means is, during that time, during those years, you were in the process of creating your fabulous relationship! And that's worth a lot!
And it means that you were not aware of the way you were feeling. So, you didn't know when you were moving in the direction of the call of source, and when you were moving in opposition to it- because you were more interested in being right, than you were, feeling good.
HS:
Got that! I got that, yeah. Okay. You said earlier something about when you're going with the flow, and you're going downstream- that there is no fork in the stream that leads you to the path of hell. And I really like the thought of that! But there's like two ex-husbands, that might beg to differ so very often. It feels like you're going downstream, and then all of a sudden, you find yourself in hell. And so, how does that happen?
Abe:
Well, what we really want you to feel is, that a fast-moving stream is glorious when you're flowing with it!
And it is torturous when you're flowing against it.
In other words, that's the point that the river guide made with Jerry and Esther and their friends! In the river he said, "see that rock and see the water that is battering it. You don't want your raft to get up against it! The stream will beat you up." And so, what happens is: You get your stream moving so fast and then you find some obstinate reason to not flow with it! And the stream beats you up.
And then you assume, that there's another force- and there isn't.
There's only the stream that you created.
Don't think that's good to know??
HS:
And because you're going with momentum, it seems even worse! Because you've built up some momentum, and you're going with this wonderful...
Abe:
Well consider this. Jerry and Esther had this Epiphany, as they were driving the other day. So, they were driving down Interstate 10 and Jerry noticed some new screech marks on the pavement, which meant someone- probably during the night- had had some sort of accident. And Jerry said it's "It's odd to me that so many people have accidents on freeways (...) where's no oncoming traffic. What could be happening?" And then they talked further, and on Interstate 10, out close to where Jerry and Esther have lived, the state department has put some polls in the ground, and strung some very heavy cables between them, to keep cars from having head-on collisions. So, that if someone bounces over against, that they won't go into the oncoming traffic.
And Esther said "I think that that is a good thing for the people coming from the other direction! But I don't know how good it is for those of us, who are driving in the direction of the person that goes out of control. Because now they're going to bounce back over here with us." And Jerry said, "Yes, but if we are all going in this direction, and they bounce back over here with us, if we're going 50 miles an hour and they're going 50 miles an hour, then it's like not very much of a collision is happening. (...) But if you bounce into the oncoming traffic and you're going 50 miles an hour, and they're going 50 miles an hour, now there is a hundred mile an hour impact!"
And so, Esther said: "I bet Abraham will use that in relationship with the way that they're talking about this stream!"
So, let's say that you're going with the flow, and you've got the flow really going, and and you're feeling the the ecstasy of going with that flow. And then let's say, that for some reason you stop, and go against it... get the pictures? In other words, you can slow down. You can maybe not be completely up to speed with the flow, and it won't feel like exhilaration, it won't feel like passion. But at least it's not beating you up! It's not killing you. You're not having a head-on collision.
But when you get focused in opposition to what you want, it's like turning into oncoming traffic.
That's a good analogy! That's the reason that some things feel really good, some things feel a little good. Some things feel not so good, and some things feel really bad. And that's why we're asking for downhill stories! That's why we're asking you to make an effort, even though we know, you can't get from where you (are) all the way over there to where you want to be, at least you can get going in the direction of that! And you're going to feel so much better and the stream will take you.

Don't think that's good to know??
HS:
And because you're going with momentum, it seems even worse! Because you've built up some momentum, and you're going with this wonderful...
Abe:
Well consider this. Jerry and Esther had this Epiphany, as they were driving the other day. So, they were driving down Interstate 10 and Jerry noticed some new screech marks on the pavement, which meant someone- probably during the night- had had some sort of accident. And Jerry said it's "It's odd to me that so many people have accidents on freeways (...) where's no oncoming traffic. What could be happening?" And then they talked further, and on Interstate 10, out close to where Jerry and Esther have lived, the state department has put some polls in the ground, and strung some very heavy cables between them, to keep cars from having head-on collisions. So, that if someone bounces over against, that they won't go into the oncoming traffic.
And Esther said "I think that that is a good thing for the people coming from the other direction! But I don't know how good it is for those of us, who are driving in the direction of the person that goes out of control. Because now they're going to bounce back over here with us." And Jerry said, "Yes, but if we are all going in this direction, and they bounce back over here with us, if we're going 50 miles an hour and they're going 50 miles an hour, then it's like not very much of a collision is happening. (...) But if you bounce into the oncoming traffic and you're going 50 miles an hour, and they're going 50 miles an hour, now there is a hundred mile an hour impact!"
And so, Esther said: "I bet Abraham will use that in relationship with the way that they're talking about this stream!"
So, let's say that you're going with the flow, and you've got the flow really going, and and you're feeling the the ecstasy of going with that flow. And then let's say, that for some reason you stop, and go against it... get the pictures? In other words, you can slow down. You can maybe not be completely up to speed with the flow, and it won't feel like exhilaration, it won't feel like passion. But at least it's not beating you up! It's not killing you. You're not having a head-on collision.
But when you get focused in opposition to what you want, it's like turning into oncoming traffic.
That's a good analogy! That's the reason that some things feel really good, some things feel a little good. Some things feel not so good, and some things feel really bad. And that's why we're asking for downhill stories! That's why we're asking you to make an effort, even though we know, you can't get from where you (are) all the way over there to where you want to be, at least you can get going in the direction of that! And you're going to feel so much better and the stream will take you.

How does the REALIZING of your dreams happen? (Stop killing the momentum of your desires!)
HOW THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS.
You have to have wondered:
How do those ideas, how do those desires, how do those hopes and dreams... how do those vibrational realities... how do they get into your real life experience? How do you turn those thoughts to things? How do they become relationships and experiences? How does... "how do I get the money into the bank, Abraham?? In the bank!! I want to get it out of the vortex, and into the bank, okay? How do I do that??"
... And the way you do it, is through the natural laws of the Universe.
The way you do it, is by not keeping it out of the bank! That's the thing that we want you to understand!
(laughter) You just got to let the door open! You just stop keeping it out of the bank. Now, how's that? (Laughter) Don't do that anymore. That's not what we're saying. We want to talk about what you are wanting to do, so the way that things move, or become from an idea; from a vibrational reality, into something that you are realizing,
is that you have to tune your frequency to the realization of it.
Now we know- you didn't want to hear that. But we needed to tell you that! You are the realizers... that's the best word that Esther can find, that's how manifestations occur: you REALIZE them. You realize them, by finding a frequency. And at first, when you find it, it feels weird to you. Maybe it feels a little exciting for a moment. In fact, that's a moment of recognizing the full potential of your desire! You feel exhilarated about it- for a moment.
But if you don't shoot it in the foot, if you don't wrestle it to the ground and kill it with reality, if you don't "yeah, but...!" it to death: "yeah, but. Yeah, but. Yeah, but..."
What about this? What about this: Esther said to us in the beginning: "Abraham, it's true. This thing that I know, that you don't want me to talk about, is a true thing. Don't you think that I should at least acknowledge that it is a true thing?" -and we said "there are all kinds of things in this world that are true, that you want to live; and there are all kinds of things that are true in this world that you don't want to live. We would, let whether you want to live them or not be the criteria, for whether you give your attention to them!
"But Abraham!"- Esther said, "it's such a big world. And there are so many things out there, am I supposed to put my head in the sand??"
-we said: Yes! And meditate!
"Am I supposed to put my head in the sand, and just pretend that those things aren't happening?"
-and we say: You have choice in all of that. Just know, that when you give your attention to things, momentum ensues. And eventually, you can create a belief that is so strong! A belief that is so strong, that it will become your reality.
You can also create a desire, that is so strong that it can become your reality! So what's happening to you- what really happens, what makes the difference, is your belief so strong? Or is your desire so strong? How does that play out?
And we say: Law of attraction gives you the exact balance that you've got going on! You can go a long way in cleaning up those desires. You can go a long way in improving those beliefs. You can go a long way in sifting and sorting your now-reality, looking for positive aspects. You can go a long way in looking at what-is, and finding the things that feel the best. In other words,
you have much more discernment, you have much more capability to offer vibration, than you've been practicing!
And we've written a lot of books with a lot of processes to help you practice. And we are impressed with the application that you've been offering! But today we want to say to you, it's so much easier if, when you wake up in the morning, you just say to yourself "I could be wobble free. I'm wobble free for now! I'm wobble free!! I don't have to bring into this day the things that were bothering me, yesterday!! I don't have to do... oh, there it is. I brought it in, already." (laughter)
When we first started talking to Esther about this, she didn't make it till breakfast, before she was wobbling all over the place! In other words, because you got lots to think about, you've got these practiced thoughts. And we don't want you to be hard on yourself about beliefs that aren't serving you, but we do want you to be aware of what beliefs you have, that serve you- and what beliefs that don't. Esther will find herself moving through a day and all of a sudden, she'll find herself not feeling so good. Sort of this subtle feeling of discomfort.
And she will stop now and say: "Oh, I just uncovered something that I apparently have been thinking about long enough, that it surfaced just now. What was i just thinking about, that gave me that funny feeling in my stomach?"
Because when that happens, that's a little piece of resistance that is showing itself to you. And we're not really encouraging that you sit down right then and try to talk yourself out of it, because you will only add momentum to it! But recognizing it and then, at first opportunity, identifying what it is that you do want, relative to that. And then, the next day, start out thinking about what you do want!
You will really be pleased with how quickly you can shift the vibrational frequency of your habits of thoughts!
You can change your beliefs. Your beliefs are only thoughts that you keep thinking! And you don't have to continue to think unhelpful beliefs.
Esther will say: "Well, that was unpleasant and unnecessary!" -Unnecessary! Unpleasant and unnecessary. So, what we're really saying to you is: It is our powerful desire that you love yourselves -as we love you!- Enough, that you are willing to stop torturing yourself with unpleasant thoughts! That you will stop accepting negative emotion as just the way life has to be.
You say things like: "These are hard times." They are not hard times!
You say things like: "The economy's bad." The economy is not bad! Economy is an individual thing, and there are those who are thriving- might as well be you!
So, let's talk about money. And let's think about what you can do with money. How money positively affects your experience! And it's easy to have a discussion about what you could do with money, with lots more money! With twice as much, or ten times as much, or a hundred times as much! You can think about what you can do with money, so you sort of focused on what you might want to do with money. And now let's talk about how you're going to get some money! And how money is- it's portable. It's tangible. It's, um, exchangeable! And it's spendable. And you like to spend money! You LIKE to spend money.
But in order to spend money, you have to get money. You have to get money to spend money, and there's the rub, right there. There's the rub. So, now "if I don't have, if I'm not in the money place that I want to be in, then thinking about money is just annoying! Because I don't have money, and so as I'm thinking about spending more money, I just get more and more out of balance. Because for me to be in balance relative to money, money in- money out, money in and money out... and what I'm stumbling over is, how to get the money in? How to get it in?? -So the discussion isn't pleasant, and nothing changes very much, and I'm sort of living the same life, year after year after year in relationship to money. Money... got to figure out how to get it! And where to get it, and when it will come, and where it will come from, and who to help, and, and, and... The more I talk about this, the worse it feels to think about money."
We don't want you to think about money! Because money is far further down the road. Money is the manifestation-part. Money is realized by you, later on in the scenario!
What we want you to think about is, the vibrational currency that you all have access to.
We want you to spend vibrational currency, not money!
Now stay with us, because it feels tricky! It is a trick. But it will serve you really really well! There is this vibrational currency... a vibrational currency that you're already tapped into, and getting the vibrational currency is so much easier than getting the money. Because, you have the doors closed to getting the money, in some regards. But you can more easily open the doors to the vibrational currency.
Now just stay with us just a little bit: So, instead of thinking about money, we want you to find the emotional vibrational equivalent to money.
Like... like the feeling of freedom. Think about confusion and clarity! Confusion -not wanted. Clarity -wanted. Can you feel how it's just a mindset to find the difference? That you can find clarity over confusion, just by focusing your mind? Can you feel how money feels harder to accomplish than clarity? Because clarity is a mindset, but money needs a job.
Money needs a job, money needs a means, money needs a way to get it to yourself... stay with us!
So, what we're wanting you to begin feeling from us is, that in the same way that you can move- in a very short period of time- from confusion to clarity, or from a bad mood to a good mood, you can you do it with your kids all the time! You can talk somebody into a good mood! You can talk yourself into a good mood, especially if you start earlier in the day.
So if if you're following us a little bit here, we're talking about vibrational currency... clarity is vibrational currency!
So now let's relate that to dollars. How can you find an emotional word... which is to say, how can we find a vibrational currency word about money?
It feels free.
Feels secure.
It feels easy!
It feels nice! Now, as you find those feelings, you have accomplished a wobble-free moment while you're focused upon the subject of abundance or currency. And in that absence of wobble, if you sustain this- and we want you to do it over the next few days, when you think about money, don't think about where it's coming from! Think about the vibrational currency that you have access to, right this minute.
We want you to begin thinking about the emotion that you can accomplish, right here and now. Because the emotion is the first manifestation! The money will be a later manifestation. But if you don't get the first manifestation, you're not going to get the later manifestation!
Are you with us? All right. It's so good! We have not had this conversation in this way before! But this is the way you turn thoughts to things.
This is the way, the vibration becomes a reality! You have to let it be an emotional reality first, and you have to practice it, as the emotional reality, long enough that you're stable in it. Because when you're stable in it long enough, now momentum is going to ensue and things are going to show up for you, and you're going to say: "How could I have been missing that? It was there, all along!"
So, now- do you like that? We like that so much. We like that so much!! So... so now you take a subject about your physical well-being. A diagnosis. You not only don't have money in the bank, you've got a great big old debt! With that's a medical diagnosis, that has a big old label on it, and so it's not easy to just all of a sudden erase that from your mind. And it's not easy to find a path in the same way, that people are having a hard time these days, a bit finding a path of money into their experience, while they could find the path of feeling good into their experience instantaneously.
Since they haven't found the way, since there's not a specific cure or a specific thing that other people have done enough, that you can just believe it for sure- then it gets you all hung up. You've got to come through the back door- like Esther always does, through the belly of the wale, where there's always somebody back there with a key. And somebody's already put the arrows on the walls for you! In other words, you got to come at it in a different way. And that different way is: You have to focus on the emotional accomplishment, that you can accomplish, not the manifestational part that is a little slower in coming!
And it is our promise to you- it is our absolute promise to you, it is our ABSOLUTE promise to you, that if you find this emotion of well-being... because it's present in so many other ways! Look at you. Look at how you are feeling your heartiness. Feel your clarity! Feel feel the stamina that you have! In other words, there is so much evidence of physical well-being!
If you will ignore the piece that's out of whack, and amplify the things that make you emotionally feel strong, you don't have to feel emotionally strong for very long, for the money to start flowing! And you don't have to feel emotionally strong for very long, before the well-being is dominant within your experience, either:
That's how you turn thoughts to things!
You mold them in your emotional center, by caring about how you feel. And you find yourself unwilling to think scary thoughts, and unwilling to think thoughts that don't feel good about anything, you see.
That's the path, and it's an easy path.
It's as easy as changing confusion to clarity! It's exactly the same process, it's that easy.

Abraham: No Gain In Pain
(Explanation of "the Stream", "going with the Flow", "Trying hard", "upstream" and "downstream")
So there is a vibrational version of you, that is preceding you.
Even now, where you are IN this physical body- just like that vibrational version of you preceded you BEFORE you came into this physical body. And when this leading edge genius creative physical You explores contrast, and gives birth to a new desire, that the non-physical part of you rides that rocket, and becomes it. That's what that feeling of excitement or expectation is.
When you feel that joyous positive motion, that means that you are within the vibrational vicinity of this powerful attraction. And the sensation to you is, that it's like a powerful river, that is moving downstream. And if you even stick your toe in it, the river will sweep you with its current toward what you are wanting. And when you understand that, everything that you want is within that current, and it is moving downstream, and you begin to relax and allow yourself to go with that steady flow- everything that you want will begin showing up in your experience!
We see so many of you. You take your raft or your boat down to the river's edge, and you get into the raft and almost without exception you turn it upstream and begin paddling very hard. We know. It is illogical, isn't it? And we say: why not go with the flow? And our human friends think about it briefly and then say: "That just seems lazy. The people who try hard - Look at them all. Look how hard they try! And those are the ones who are rewarded. I learned it when I was little:
The harder you try, the better things will go for you, and there is no gain without pain. -I was told that over and over and over again, and since I want gain, then I want pain. So get out of my way and let me paddle! Look how strong I am becoming!" -And then they point out to us all the other strong ones, that are virtuous and valiant and paddling upstream, too. And we listen politely. Because,
We have seen the big picture, and we know who you are, and we know why you came and we know that everything that you want is downstream and that nothing that you want is upstream.
Without knowing it, most of our human friends have picked up very upstream habits.
You've been trained by others who've been paddling upstream very hard, and The Art of Allowing is about letting go of those oars!
-And it's easy to let go of the oars when you know that everything that you want, is downstream.
-And when you know that the Source Energy within you is down there, tending what you are wanting.
-But when you believe that you have to work hard, when you believe that struggle is inherent in achieving- then, while we will admit that you can move some physical things around, we have to say to you, that
Creation through action is mediocre at best, in terms of the results it brings to you! And that
Creation through alignment of energy is where all of the masters and all of those that you revere have found their place.
You can not be a magnificent creator without alignment to the energy of the power that creates worlds.
And when you hold yourself apart from it, you know it. You feel rotten. And when you find yourself aligning to it ,you feel wonderful! Isn't it nice that you were born with a guidance system, that lets you easily know, from wherever you stand, if the thought you are choosing to say, right now -if the thought you are thinking if the words you are speaking -you can tell by the way you feel, if it's upstream in nature or downstream in nature.
The way you are feeling right now won’t tell you the best thought you've ever thought!
It will only tell you the directional choice of your thoughts. It will let you know if you're going toward what you want, or away from what you want. Toward who you really are or away from who you really are.
Jerry and Esther went whitewater rafting, and it was such a fun day. And as they put their boat in the water -there were a lot of them that went. Six of them went together, and several other rafts, full of high school wrestlers. And as they put their boat in the water, not one of them even thought about turning the raft upstream! They knew that fast moving river was going to have its way with them. Nobody even thought about paddling upstream.
And the river guide said to them: "First thing, friends: This is not Disney Land. We can not turn this river off."
And this is the thing that we most want to say to you: We can not turn this river off! Further, you're the one who made the river go so fast! You hit the ground running when you were born. You had so much intention. And all day every day, you're sifting through that data of life, and asking asking asking asking asking.
-You're the reason the river's moving fast!
-And you're the reason that you're going with it, or not.
-You have total control in all of this, and nothing that you are doing has anything to do with anybody else or anybody else's river.
In other words, stay out of their boat. And don't invite them in your boat! In other words, the only awareness that you need to have -if you want to utilize the guidance system that you were born with, is: you want to know one thing and one thing only, moment by moment, thought by thought. Is this upstream or downstream? -And then the next statement is: How can I make it more downstream? How can I turn this thought and this feeling more downstream? What could I do to soften the resistance? What could I do to release the resistance a little more?
-And trying harder is the wrong answer. Trying harder makes the resistance more!
It's letting go of the oars that makes it less.
It's trusting the process.
It's trusting The Stream.
This is such an important message, that a while back, we wrote a book and we gave it the best title of any book that's ever been written: "Ask, and It Is Given." And we just explained to you, how that is so. Life causes you to ask, and Source not only gives it to you. Source literally becomes the vibrational essence of that which you are asking for, and stands in such complete alignment with the ever-expanding version of you, and offers a signal unto the Universe, that Law of Attraction is responding to.
Which creates the sensation within you of a current, that is indescribable. And when you allow yourself to move in the direction of that current, you feel wonderful and when you don't... you don't.
We have enjoyed this interaction immensely. There is great love here for you! And as always, we remain incomplete.

(Explanation of "the Stream", "going with the Flow", "Trying hard", "upstream" and "downstream")
So there is a vibrational version of you, that is preceding you.
Even now, where you are IN this physical body- just like that vibrational version of you preceded you BEFORE you came into this physical body. And when this leading edge genius creative physical You explores contrast, and gives birth to a new desire, that the non-physical part of you rides that rocket, and becomes it. That's what that feeling of excitement or expectation is.
When you feel that joyous positive motion, that means that you are within the vibrational vicinity of this powerful attraction. And the sensation to you is, that it's like a powerful river, that is moving downstream. And if you even stick your toe in it, the river will sweep you with its current toward what you are wanting. And when you understand that, everything that you want is within that current, and it is moving downstream, and you begin to relax and allow yourself to go with that steady flow- everything that you want will begin showing up in your experience!
We see so many of you. You take your raft or your boat down to the river's edge, and you get into the raft and almost without exception you turn it upstream and begin paddling very hard. We know. It is illogical, isn't it? And we say: why not go with the flow? And our human friends think about it briefly and then say: "That just seems lazy. The people who try hard - Look at them all. Look how hard they try! And those are the ones who are rewarded. I learned it when I was little:
The harder you try, the better things will go for you, and there is no gain without pain. -I was told that over and over and over again, and since I want gain, then I want pain. So get out of my way and let me paddle! Look how strong I am becoming!" -And then they point out to us all the other strong ones, that are virtuous and valiant and paddling upstream, too. And we listen politely. Because,

Will it take a long time to stop negative momentum that's been around for a long time?
"Well Abraham, if I've been really negative for 50 years, is it going to take me 50 years to turn it around?"
No, 15 minutes [of meditation a day] ought to do it.
"In 15 minutes I can undo all of the disallowing that I've learned to do?"
In 15 minutes you can allow. You do not have to undo anything.
"Well, what if I've really developed major habits of negativity? Is 15 minutes going to change that?"
Probably not, but the next time you go for one of those negative thoughts, you are going to be more aware of it.
Your guidance system is going to be stimulated so that you will be aware - probably for the first time in your life - of what you are doing with your Non-physical energy.

How to shift on topics that have a lot of negative momentum behind them - Get off the topic and find easier things to feel good about!
[Topics like how you feel about your body in relation to food, or how you feel about food]
much of that started in your vibration long long long long long long long long long long long ago.
So what happens is when something has started so long ago and
you've practiced the feeling so much that it has [gathered a lot of momentum so that it has sort of] just become sort of an ambient part of you -
in other words it's sort of like your personality
it's sort of like your posture.
in other words you sort of have been bringing with you and practicing it.
And so then to say, "Well this is something that now I'm going to change the way I offer vibration about!"
We say, yes you can do that,
but a faster way and an easier way is :
whenever it isn't a moment when you're [focusing on the problem area]
[eg if "your relationship to food" is a tricky area, whenever it isn't a moment when you're food] shopping - or whenever it isn't a moment when you're cooking, or whenever it isn't a moment when you're eating, or making sure that someone else eats -
then in those moments let's not make it be the issue.
Let's find other things that are less resistant in nature that you can give your attention to.
