How your Inner Being sees suffering

Blue__Butterflies wrote: Tue Apr 18, 2023 6:26 pm You see someone suffering and you think,
“Oh it’s a terrible situation that’s causing that person to suffer”.
And your Inner Being is thinking,
“This person is merely temporarily depriving themselves of the pleasure of alignment
and that could change as quickly as they take the stick out of the wheel”.

How to help find solutions for big problem in the world
Blue__Butterflies wrote: Tue Apr 18, 2023 6:27 pm
A: When asking happens, what happens?
Answering.

If you can step back from it and not feel it quite so up close and personal,
and accept that there's an asking and answering, then your question for yourself becomes
"How can I be an influencer for the receiving of the answer?
How can I be one who influences the solution rather than the problem?"

Well, from what you know already,
you can't focus upon the problem without influencing the problem,
and the problem has been influenced to quite a big, damn crescendo, hasn't it?
Isn't it about the biggest crescendo that you want?
Does it need to be a bigger crescendo?

Q: No.

A: Then let's not focus on the problem anymore,
it's crescendoed out; it's been asked with a big loud voice.

The asking is there and the answer is proportionate to the asking.
It's been asked and it's been given,
So how are we (meaning you guys) going to get into a place of influencing or inspiring or being part of the solution?
How are you going to do it?

Well, first of all, you can't even get close to that without first feeling satisfaction rather than dissatisfaction,
so you have to find some way of getting your eye off the problem,

Because we just acknowledged we don't need to create a bigger problem;
The problem is big enough now that it's ready for a solution.
It's a big, big asking ripe for the plucking.

And you know, it doesn't take that many who are in vibrational alignment with Source Energy to be the jet stream on which the solution rides in on. (...)

And the thing that will really help you is that
you don't have to get those that you think are the perpetuators of the problem to find mutuality with you;
You don't have to get them to understand anything
because their Inner Being already has mutuality with them –
The Inner Being of everyone who is being affected already has mutuality with the solution.

All you have to do is just lean a little more in the direction of what you want, of the solution that you're seeking,
so that you're like this satellite dish that's tuned-in, tapped-in, turned-on and beaming the signal forward -
that's that jet stream that we were talking about -
And then things start shifting and moving.
In fact, they already have; they already have.

And the thing that you have to figure out is
how you can be a vibrational emotionally satisfied person
without the evidence of it all changing already,
where you don't need to see it before you believe it.

Believe it. Believe it. And why?
Because it's been asked and it's been given.

Don't ask yourself anything like what's in the way?
or why did it take so long? or what were they thinking? or why would anybody be like that?
- don't ask those questions because those questions will only make you be more like everyone else who is suffering and you won't be part of the solution,
and you won't be the jet stream on which the wellbeing flows in.

Your attention to the problem only enhances it and brings it right into your physical experience.

As you view the many problems from around the world,
there is very little that they have to do with you,
or that you can do about them.

You do not feel the negative emotion because the problems exist.
You feel the negative emotion abotu them only when you give your attention to them.

Continued attention to a problem attracts it into your experience.

To remove it from your experience you must remove your attention from it.

Many of you believe that if you give more attnetion to a problem you will solve it.
You will find solutions, however only as you are looking for solutions.

As you focus upon the problem, your emotion will be negative, letting you know that you are creating negatively.

As you focus upon the solution, your emotion will be positive, letting you know that you are creating positively.

Q. Should we be concerned about being in a safe place - or should we just go about our lives doing what we feel like?

A. That is the best thing to do.
For as you focus upon that which troubles you,
you attract the trouble itself, you see.

Truly it is enough if you say:
"I intend joyous survival". (...)
You will be at the right place a the right time. (...)

We encourage all of you to step back, and say:
"I intend joyous creation.
I intend joyous creative survival.
I intend harmony." (...)

And as you set those intentions in motion,
you will begin atttracting the circumstances and other thoughts
which will bring it about and bring the detail of it into clearer focus for you.

On Racism

Racial discrimination is created by the being who feels abused.
By the being who believes that he is being treated unfairly.
And that belief, that expectation,
attracts it out of beings who otherwise would never be racialists.

Most beings have never given it a thought,
for it is not something that they have interacted with at all.

But because there is this belief that
"Because I am a certain color I am mistreated,"
then as I walk the streets,
I solicit that from every being with whom I interact.
But I do not kow that I am doing it through my thought, you see, and so I blame you.
I blame you because you look at me strangely,
and I think you don't like me
because I am not the color that you are, you see.
And it has nothing to do with you.
I have solicited it from you through my thought.

In every relationship you have
whenever you are having unpleasant experiences,
you are attracting the unpleasant experience
because that is where you are giving your attention.


- Abraham, 1988

You did not say, prior to your emergence into this physical experience,
"Well, I would like to come forth, but get rid of all trouble, then I will come,
because I am, after all, a responder to conditions.
So line all the conditions up just right so that I can have good feeling responses
and live happily ever after."

You didn't say anything like that.

You said:
"Oh! Sure I'll go forth into this sea of contrast,
because never do I know more clearly what I do want
than when I'm exposed to some of what I don't want.
And this contrast will help me choose.
And once I choose and flower my Energy and achieve vibrational harmony with my choice,
that will be my experience."

So, here's someone experiencing a terrible experience.
And I see it.
And I don't want it.
I don't want it for them, and I don't want it for me.

But as I address it, my "switch" is on.
So I'm not only adding to it for them,
I'm adding to it for me.

Now most humans would say,
"Well Esther, do not turn away from this and put your hea din the sand."

And Abraham would say,
"Esther, turn away from this -
and achieve vibrational harmony with something else."

If Esther sees some horrible thing and she says,
"No, no I want not that, what I want it..."
and out of this abhorrent thing a desire is born,
and Esther is wise enough to turn her attention now only to the desire
and find vibrational harmony with the desire.
Now that situation has benefited All That Is,
because something very powerful and very good has come out of it.

Abraham talking about Wars

Guest asks how we can end wars in the world:

Abraham:
We don't think that it is any of our business to end the war that someone else is choose.
W think if somebody wants a war, they must be allowed the right to have a war.
None of us has the right to impose peace on anyone,
any more than we have the right to impose war on anyone.
What we're saying is -
everyone must be allowed to choose.

-

Our desire is that [those involved in fighting in wars] are consciously choosing,
and that each of them find a way to be connected to Source Energy,
because that is what they're fighting for: Freedom.
Freedom from resistance. That is what they're all wanting.

If we can envision them connected, more of them will find it.

There will never be a time upon your planet when there will be peace -
because there will never be a time upon your planet when everyone is in agreement about the way life should be lived.

As more people understand that there's no shortage of anything...
No shortage of oil or energy, or abundance,
there's no shortage of land or of water,
or of anything -
then their feelings of paranoia and vulnerability will diminish.

-

Esther does not do anything that would hurt anyone's feelings intentionally.
But sometimes when somebody pushes against her,
her natural knee-jerk response is to push back.
That's what most wars are about.
Somebody pushed at you, or you think they will and you're afraid.
t is your feeling of someone being powerful and making you do something that you do not want to do,
that is the angst that is at the heart of all of that.

As more people come to understand that all really is well
and that no one has any control in my experience because they cannot cause me to vibrate,
and that I can set my own Tone and vibrate that way
then we can co-exist as physical humans with everybody living life the way they are wanting.
And not one other person on the planet has to know that for you to live happily ever after.
But you do have to reach the place where it doesnt give you pain to see someone living i na way that they are choosing.

If you could get inside those revolutions where you could understand them
you might find the life-giving factor that the war is giving to some of them.

Abraham Hicks, Silver Spring MD, 4/11/99.

Source of Bad Things in the World

You would not enter a brightly lit room and look for the "dark switch".
You would not expect to find a switch that would floor an inky darkness into the room to cover the brightness of the light.
You would find a switch that would resist the light,
for in the absence of light there is darkness.

And in like manner, there is not a Source of "evil",
but there could be a resisting of that which you believe is good,
just as there is not a Source of sickness,
but there could be a resisting of natural wellbeing.

- Abe, 2008

There are some people experiencing intense hardships or traumas,
and because of how they are living right now,
their asking is in a heightened and intense place.
And because of the intensity of their requests,
Source is responding in kind.
And although those who are doing the asking are usually so involved in the trauma that they are not personally receiving the benefit of their own asking,
future generations -
or even current generations who are not right now disallowing -
are receiving the benefit of that asking.

- Abraham, 2008

Stop using the word "struggle".
Use a less strugglesome word,
like, "I'm sifting"

Abraham on Personal Safety


Abraham, Atlanta, 9/19/99

If you don't know that what you think and feel and what you get is always a vibrational match -- then every time somebody dies in an airplane, or every time somebody gets cancer and dies, you feel more vulnerable, because you don't understand the relationship between your vibration and what has happened.

As you feel vulnerable, then you gather in societal experiences where you try to gather together in groups in order to provide some sort of haven of safety. Because, after all, you believe there is great strength in numbers. You still see it, in your physical format, as "us against someone else." When in truth, there is no one against anyone....

Anything that Happens To You Is In Direct Response To Your Vibrational Offering.

You all have access to the Energy Stream. And anything that happens to you, no matter who you are or what you believe -- anything that happens to you has happened in direct response to whatever your vibrational offering is.
