The Abe Forum

Hey Spiritualcookie,

I came up with this picture to try and explain a theory I've been contemplating. This seems to explain why Abe strongly recommends Meditation as it is usually the missing piece for most people, but also acknowledges the significant power of feeling good. It's as if we have 2 levers each (a variation of the acceleration and handbrake analogy)

Let me know what you think and if it needs tweaking. This is a cool unfolding, even for me!

Hey Elvis - oo great diagram! I love how you are adding clarity and better understanding through it

I'd be interested to hear POE's thoughts on this too!

Some tweaks I would make:

I'd say Power = Strength of Desire + Strength of positivity (where positivity is higher the higher on the EGS you are)

I would say the second picture from the left with full power + full resistance looks like completely split energy. In theory if you have the exact same power going forward as backward, you won't see any movement forward, so the text underneath it, I would say something like "You feel good sometimes, feel bad sometimes, and mostly things don't manifest because the resistance is too strong still". I would think that it's not really possible to feel good lots of the time when resistance is that high.

For the "You feel good lots and things manifest but slower than ideal" I'd use this diagram:
For the last diagram of no power + no resistance, I'd guess it's a state of aimlessness with no direction at all, so how would the flow know where to take you?

For me the best meditative experience is when I accidentally wake up in the middle of the night and try to make myself go back to sleep. I tend to focus on my breathing, or relaxing the whole body and breathing just so I could fall asleep. And then (sometimes, not always, that energy takes me (body vibrates or I feel this super relaxing wave going through me, etc)
I think like you SpiritualCookie in the actual medi, I’m a bit efforting…

So if it is possible for you to relax, like it’s possible for me at night, then I would relax and let the source take you, don’t push it yourself

I think this would not in all instances really work out as Elvis has described. (Sorry, I have a very hard time to even read the small typo!)

Abe don't define Power in the way Elvis described. Power has not only to do with feeling good (which is the INDICATOR that you do not have resistances!)
Your Power just is- and the more Desires you have, the more Power you gather. Now, you can block it more or less, and your emotions tell what you are doing.
Expressed Power comes from allowing your desires momentum, which is a high spinning, fast vibration. You can feel good, but have not much momentum (meaning, no big desires), and then you don't have much power.

Also, resistance is NOT only released by meditation, but even more by living a joyful life where you allow yourself many desires. You CAN move through resistances with a lot of momentum (aka, with sheer willpower or even physical force!). A good example of that is, when a mother or young sibling has the HUGE desire to rescue a small child from under a heavy object, or from being trapped in a car. There exist stories that a five year old lifts a tree, so their sibling can crawl out from under it. Or that a mother smashes the side-window of her car with her bare fist (which is actually "impossible") to rescue her child from the burning car. Which boils down to your love of your desire, simply overriding all resisting beliefs or -circumstances. THAT is Power.

So again (a bit like in the other thread), Elvis describes all of this not really based upon Abe teachings! And so I don't feel too comfortable agreeing in a straight way with the diagrams.

So here my thoughts to Diagram 1:
Lots of "Power" and no Resistance... YES, that would result in fast manifestations.
BUT not necessarily in a "Magical life", for a longer period of time! As Joy and feeling "magic" does NOT depend on having no resistances. Look at sports- you ENJOY overcoming obstacles, using your musclepower, going to your limits etc. Rock-climbing, Fourwheeling, playing against a strong opponent- all of that is full of resistance, but you realllly ENJOY it! It makes you feel eager, passionate, thrilled, as having lively FUN.

The idea of contrast or resistances being a bad thing that make for a bad life, is VERY much due to looking at things, from OOTV!
From ITV, you love it. You appreciate it- at it's right place, in the right amount!


Diagram 2:
"Power" and "resistance" both on maximum. -Again I have to stick in once more, "power" and "feeling good" don't necessarily go hand in hand!
Lets assume that "power" means here a high level of Alignmnent (indicated by Joy), then you would NOT have in the same time a maximum of resistance! It would literally be impossible. The energies are either, or: Alignment OR Resistance. In the example of a mother smashing the car to save the child: The love and the Desire simply let the resistance vanish. The resistance can't exist further in the light of the Alignmnet!

But if you assume that "Power" means a lot of desire =a high momentum, held back by maximum Resistance- well, THAT is a stalemate. It is torturous pulling against yourself, pulling yourself apart and CERTAINLY not feeling that good.


Diagram 3:
No "Power" and Max. Resistance"- agreed, that sucks.
It wouldn't stay like that, though. Because the resistances put LOTS of desires to feel better and to have joy again in your Vortex! And so, your "Power", aka your momentum, would pick up, after a while. When you don't lower your resistances though, you will get into the stance of diagram 2- which is pure pain.


Diagram 4:
No "Power" and no Resistance: I'd say this is an ultimatively boring life. But maybe, it would feel relaxing after hard times, FOR A WHILE.
Abe state that when your life produces no new desires anymore, you croak. Which is perfectly fine, if you want it that way! -It is the desires (that make for momentum, which makes for "Power") that "pull us through life, and life through us". Without desires, life pulls back and "goes home".

Yah, fully agreed!

That is SUCH a golden nugget!
All our "trying too hard", not being able to really relax and allow (which all got taught into us heavily in the old paradigm) is simply hindering.
The paradigm-shift will occur, in my opinion, as soon we reallllly understand and exercise that our Power (that is DONE! We do not need to "produce" it!) must be ALLOWED by us, doing step 3. Aka, RELAXING.


We want you to BREATHE rather than try.
To RELAX rather than offer effort.
To SMILE, rather than struggle,
to BE rather than do.

For your TRUE POWER is experienced only from inside the Vortex!

I appreciate hearing your advice on this - thank you Tara

I hear you!
Now to try to relax more!

"Trying to relax" is a treacherous stance, isn't it!? (and I soooo hear you! Man, I have ADS. Talk to me about RELAXING!)
I had a lightbulb going on when Tony Robbins demonstrated what "trying" means.
He adviced a guy in a seminar to try to lift up a chair. -The guy lifted up the chair. "No nooo! Not lifting it up! TRYING to lift it up!"
-They guy touched the chair, but didn't lift it. -"Noooo! No cheating! REALLY TRY!"

It was an impossible and quite exhausting task to "try".
Or, as Jesus said: "But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."
Or: "Trying" will not lead to achieving... we must DO it...

(>>sermon-mode off, again...<<)

SO much love!! (I still am "trying", too...)

*I* would think this is almost the perfect stance. Some resistance to keep yourself sharp, but not in such a big way that it hurts... As I said above, we WANT some step 1. We WANT to expand and figure it out and create, because that is all the fun, for a Creator! And the "right", "best" amount of resistance is due to personal preferences and might even vary from topic to topic or phase of life we'r in: Some healthy young twen might enjoy (!) more resistance...

"We watch you! You CLIMB MOUNTAINS, for heavens sake!! FOR FUN!" (Abraham Hicks)

I thought about this diagram even more, and got the impulse to post this quote, that I must quote sloppily, I don't have the exact words:

"You planned to be about 5% of your time in Step 1, and the rest of your time in Step 3 (or 4, 5 or 6... ). But most people got it the other way around!"
