True (ITV-) Patience is part of step 3, 4 or 5!



True patience is knowing that you want it
and knowing that it's coming
and actually enjoying the unfolding along the way.

Step 5:


When you feel negative emotion, say:
"Yippee! I've got desire!!"

Abraham Hicks

It's not your work to make anything happen.
It's your job to dream it, and LET it happen!

In your joy, you create something, and then
you maintain your vibrational harmony with it,
and the Universe must find a way to bring it about.

That's the promise of Law of Attraction.

Abraham Hicks

You'll get to the point where you wonder why you were ever
worried about anything, ever.

How it feels to croak, vs how it feels to move up the scale pre-croaking, and about advancing into step 4 and 5

HS:
What I would want from you, is: I feel great. Everything's wonderful. I have been lately watching kind of near-death experiences, and am a little obsessed with, um the feeling of all of that resistance, leaving, when someone crosses over and comes back. And I would love to know what that feeling feels like! If you could talk about that feeling of the resistance leaving? Prior to croaking would be preferable, you know. But I'm just... every time I hear about the love of the source, I can't explain the eagerness for that! Or the desire for that!

Abe:
We're going to explain this, and you're going to get it! But the reason that we can't give you exactly what you're looking, for in terms of understanding that feeling of relief, is this... You're going to like this. We were talking earlier about beliefs, and how you can't just change a belief all at once. And so, your vibrations, as you deliberately think, and deliberately therefore, accomplish a vibration, it's a gradual thing- that is gradual enough, that you don't get that enormous feeling of relief.

It's like moving up the emotional scale from fear and despair into anger and revenge into frustration into a feeling of satisfaction, and then more, and then more, all the way to love and appreciation. But it's a graduation, much more than even the emotional words that we're describing! And so, it's like getting into a tub of water that's cold. And after a while you adjust to it, so you don't notice it so much. You're getting into a tub that's too hot- and after a little bit, you adjust to it. It's a sort of gradual thing!

The reason that the death experience, for most people, is so extraordinarily sensational, in an awesomeness that we can't describe to you-
is, that they've been ornery, ornery, ornery, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected. And then they make their transition, where they go straight to pure positive energy!

And the feeling of release and relief, of all of that resistance- in one fell swoop... is something that happens for people only at the death experience, in that way. Now it's possible, you could... it's possible, it's not likely but it's possible, that you could have something that bothered you, and bothered you, and bothered you, and bothered you, and bothered you, and bothered and bothered and bothered and bothered... and you could get distracted by something, and you could feel a sort of euphoria as you change the subject! Because that's what we're talking about.

But law of attraction will not let you move from one vibrational frequency to another that quickly. Only in the death- experience!

That makes sense to you? So you're just gonna have to get used to gradually getting happier.

HS:
It has been amazing! And it's like you said: I do almost feel crazy, because when contrast happens... I never really got, when I used to listen to you, when you say "you'll learn the value in the contrast". And I really feel that, today! When contrast happens, it's no big deal!

Abe:
Oh, it's choices!! It's more clarity! It's more definition. It's more detail! It's like you learn to be an artist, and they only give you two colors: Black and white. and then as you get better and better. You introduce more colors to your palette, and then you learn to blend them, until there's no ending to what you can do! And the contrast is what gives you more colors on your palette! It's what gives you more things to think about. Life causes you to continue to ask for more! It just does. It must.

And when you ask for more, than you can let it in. You have momentarily feelings of discord, when you're really asking for more than you're letting in, but then, as you know the process and you know the laws, you reach the place that there's never really a big discomfort. In fact, it's when things that felt like trauma and challenges, start turning to opportunities, and adventure- because you know that there isn't anything that you are not capable of accomplishing and now in your eagerness,

you're just really excited to watch how the universe is going to whip this one into shape on your behalf!

Step 3 is visualizing what is wanted so clearly, that it feels more real than what-is.
It is the most important step of all!

Every Tragedy helps to create BIG Solutions!
"The Conspiracy of Wellbeing in Covid"

HS:
You've talked about the conspiracy of well-being, that exists in this time and space. Help us to reconcile and integrate our current experience, that is being identified as a global, worldwide everywhere- pandemic redundancy, there for on our part, into a conspiracy of well-being!?

Abe:
First we want to start with the important word "conspiracy".
Conspiring, it means cooperating!
It means thoughts, coming together.

It's what the law of attraction naturally does. The law of attraction says: That which is alike to itself is drawn. So, that means that thoughts, that are of same vibration, then conspire together. And so, if there is a worldwide attention upon something that is troubling, there is a conspiring of those thoughts. It is a stronger wave: It has attraction power that is stronger than if a handful are thinking it. But it is important to acknowledge also, that anytime, that any one of you or any group of you- no matter how large the group is-

anytime you are focused upon something that is causing you to feel negative emotion, it does mean that you are creating a vibrational flow. About something, that you do not want!

We like our recent addition of a descriptive word: ...You are calibrating to something unwanted.
And simultaneously... and this matters so much for you to be aware of:

Simultaneously, you are calibrating a vibrational reality of well-being!
In other words when you calibrate to a problem, simultaneously you calibrate to a solution.

And the thing that we really want you hear is, that in this conspiracy of thought, in this law-of-attraction-response to your singular, or your global thinking- there is power, that is matched! In other words when there is strong fear, there is equivalent asking. And so we want that to soothe you, even as you hear it! We have talked to you on many occasions, about how the vibration of a problem is different than the vibration of the solution, just like the vibration of a question is different than the vibration of the answer.

And that's why, if you are really wrapped up in your question or in your problem, even though the solution is immediately, instantaneously flowing into your atmosphere and even though you could, if you were in the receiving mode, pick up on it- if you are vibrationally different from it. then you can't receive it right now. But the good news is: The solution was created by your attention to it!

So, every time a contrasting experience is yours, you launch an equivalent rocket of desire.

And so you must feel for sure... can you feel the BIGNESS of the solution, that is in that vibrational reality? In that vibrational atmosphere? And are you not- as you are feeling better in a moment here, in a moment there... are you not becoming aware of humans all around your planet, that are receiving that call from their Inner Being? Who are tuned, for whatever reason- it might be that there they were just exhausted! And so they stopped pushing against, for a little while. It might be that the situation just feels so big, that they've sort of thrown up their hands, in an attitude of giving up. But we promise you that there are leaders and thinkers and very capable minds, that are often in the receiving mode, that are receiving the benefit of what you, in your fear and in your concern, are contributing to this creation! And so we are so happy to explain to you, that

this conspiracy is a conspiracy of well-being!

Even though any one of you, small group or large group of you, may be focused in opposition to your reception of it- it does not diminish the fact,
that the answers are there.
That the ideas are flowing,
that the solutions are forthcoming!

Not judging yourself for doing "mistakes" is Step 5

spiritualcookie wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 6:13 pm MAKING MISTAKES IS HOW WE LEARN - IT'S ALL ALRIGHT

Do you remember watching a child... learning to walk?
When he fell down and bumped his head, did you say:
"You stupid little fool!" ? (group laughter)
"Get up and walk!" (laughter)
Or did you say:
"It's all right. All of us fell down and bumped our heads. It is the way we learned to walk..."

And so, why do you keep beating up on yourself every time when in a new experience, you don't know just what to do?

Why not take the experience and live it,
and bask in the knowledge that comes from it -
looking for the positive aspects within it?
Because they are always there.
Do you know how we know?
Because within everything here are positive and negative aspects.
There is not an exception to that in all the Universe. [...]
And by your decision to focus, [you] bring into your experience whatever it is you have chosen.

What is Appreciation? And how do you get there?


HS:
Now the question I have is - Appreciation. You've used the word a lot and other people have used it. But what is it, really? Because I - I did read the definition and it was something about "to see the nature of-", or to "increase the value of-", and I use appreciation a lot to turn downstream. And I just wondered if you would expand on that?

Abe:
Well we are glad you looked it up! In the very literal sense, because to "increase the value of" is so inherent in what we're talking about, also! Now think about the contrast that you live, and the asking that you're offering, and the stream, that's moving. And then think about reaching for thoughts that feel better, and thoughts that feel better, until you truly come into a vibration of appreciation! And for sake of comparison, we would say the vibration of true love -that feeling of being in love, that feeling that you have sometimes, when you see someone and you just feel like you're moving through one another. The feeling that you have when you are looking at the innocence of a child, and feeling the beauty and power of that child.

In other words, love and appreciation are identical vibrations.
It's the vibration of alignment with who you are.
It's the absence of resistance.

It's the absence of doubt and fear.
It's the absence of self denial or hatred to others.
It's the absence of everything that feels bad, and the presence of everything that feels good!

And as you focus yourself more and more downstream, until you get in the vicinity of that love and appreciation- it just calls you to it, in a very powerful way. Conversely, let's talk about the difference between, let's say, gratitude and appreciation! Many people use them interchangeably. But we don't feel the same vibrational essence in them at all!

Because when you feel gratitude, often you are looking at a struggle that you've overcome, and feeling grateful. In other words happy that you're not still in the struggle, but you are still messing with that vibration just a little bit in that, you see.

In other words, the difference between inspiration which is being called to who you are, and motivation which is trying to make yourself go somewhere- that's a similar difference, you see!

And so, appreciation is that tuned-in, tapped-in, turned-on.
Appreciation is vibrational alignment with who I have become.
The state of appreciation is me, being in sync with the whole of that which I am!
Being in a state of appreciation is seeing whatever I'm looking at, through the eyes of Source.
And when you are in that state of appreciation you could walk down a crowded street with all kinds of things, that a lot of other people find reason to criticize or even worry about, and you would not have access to them, because your vibration of appreciation is picking out for you things of a different vibrational nature.

A state of appreciation is a state of godliness.
A state of appreciation is being who you really are.
A state of appreciation is who you were, the day you were born, and who you will be the moment you die.
And it would be if we were standing in your physical shoes, your quest in every moment.

But the tricky thing is -Joseph Campbell used the word bliss, and we think it's equal. Follow your bliss! Sometimes you can't get a whiff of bliss from where you are.
So we say, if you're in despair follow your revenge it's downstream.
If you're in revenge, follow your hatred- it's downstream!
If you're in hatred, follow your anger, it's downstream.
If you're in anger, follow your frustration! It's downstream.
If you're in frustration, follow your hope: It's downstream.
If you're in hope, now you're in the vicinity of appreciation!

Once you get into the vibration of hope, now begin making lists of things that you feel good about, and fill your notebooks full of them.
Make lists of positive aspects.
Make lists of things you love.
Go to the restaurant and look for you favorite things, and never complain about anything.
Look for the thing that you like the best, even if there was only one thing in all of it that you like- give it your undivided attention. and use it as your excuse to be who you are. Use it as your excuse to be who you are!

And as you use those things, that shine bright and make you feel good as your excuse to give your attention, and as your excuse to be who you are- you'll tune to who you are. And the whole world will begin to transform before your eyes. It's not your job to transform it for others! But it is your job to transform it for you.

We have enjoyed this interaction immensely. It is lovely to come together with those like you who are coming to know who you are! We are appreciating that which you are! And as we see you through our eyes of Source, we have to say to you: you have nothing to complain about, but there is nothing wrong with your complaining. Because, in your complaining you just launch more rockets! And you just make more vibrational escrow.

You just make the world a better and better place by living in it!
So you can't get it wrong and you never get it done.

And from our vantage point we feel only love and appreciation for your willingness to come and participate, and to take thought beyond that which it has been before. Not just in this forum, but in life itself. You know you can't get it wrong, and when you have your croaking experience you will then realize fully the value that you have offered to All-That-Is! And you will revel in it, and you will feel good about it. It is our desire, that you start feeling some of that now!

It is our desire that you start giving yourselves a break. Lighten up! Be easier on yourself and others. Look for things to love and appreciate, and find the true you, that came forth to live this life experience. There is great love here for you!
-And as always we remain blissfully, joyfully, appreciatively... incomplete.
