The Abe Forum

Do NOT fake happiness! And do not suppress what you really want.
Instead, just be satisfied about SOMETHING, and don't tolerate dissatisfaction! That is enough!

HS:
I come with a desire to help me with my scattered energy. And I've listened to you for longer than I want to admit, to this wonderful room of people. It might be over 10 years, but less than 20. So, and my life is a beautiful life! I don't lack anything, but I want more. And I feel like I have...

Abe:
Satisfied with what is, and eager for more. It's a perfect stance!

HS:
That's where I am. And I feel that, I..

Abe:
Because when you need something, you're under the influence of need. When you satisfied, then you're under the influence of alignment. And then the distance from where you are, to the delicious new, new, new is simple.

HS:
Yes! Yeah, and I have felt both places, yes. So to be in a place, where I am appreciative, and I do what you have talked about: I'm at the beach every morning with my dog! I'm so lucky, I live in Maine! So I go: "this is my favorite beach. And my favorite seaglass. And my favorite ocean! And my favorite dog!" -and I just sort of dance around, and people think I'm nuts. But I am living a beautiful life! But I feel that I'm, because certain things haven't come into my manifestation, that I must be a little scattered, or lazy with my thoughts? Where I'm maybe... I am not being deliberate enough, or fantasizing enough. Or being, you know... where I'm daydreaming enough. Because I don't have negative things in my life! I'm very conscious of when I don't feel well, mentally. I nip it right away, and I listen to you. You're the best energy changer on the planet! I just listen to one of your things. I get out in nature, I go for a walk, and I just shift my energy.

But, I want to travel! I want to buy a house. I want to help my kids with their wedding. There's things I want, and I'm sort of anticipatory in the waiting for it. And I'm... my life is beautiful, in the meantime! But I think I must be missing something, if these things aren't showing up. Because the path unfolds in many little directions, but it never seems to come to fruition.

Abe:
Well, let us just speak some basics of the laws as they are. And then we'll walk through this, in a way that you and others will follow and understand! Because when you say, or when most say "scattered energy"- it's as if they think that they have to focus on some specific thing that they want, and hone in on it, in order to reel it in, and bring it about. And so, they think their energy is scattered, they're thinking about too many things, and kind of like, if you've got a lot of things to do, and you're trying to do so many things- then you'r "jack of all trades, and master of none", is sort of the human sentiment about that!

And we want to make it very clear that it's not scattered energy!
It's contradictory energy.

Only a thought about something, and a thought in opposition of it, is what ever slows it down, or puts resistance in it!

You can be creating hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of things simultaneously.
And when you focus toward them, if you're not contradicting your thought about it, then you're setting it into motion, and Law of Attraction will follow through and it will become a reality!

So it's important to understand that it's the contradictory thought that is the only thing that ever hinders anything, that comes into your experience. Therefore, if it is in fact true that you're thinking about what you want and you're always, always feeling good, and always feeling satisfied- and yet some of the things that you think you want, aren't coming- then it must be that you don't really want what you think you want! Because, if you're really as vibrationally non-resistant as you feel that you are, then you are creating exactly what you've put into your Vortex! and if what's unfolding isn't what you think you want, then that's where the disconnect is.

If you really believe that you've got positive emotion going on all the time, and what you want isn't happening- then you don't want what you think you want.
Which is never the case.

What IS the case, is: You don't have positive emotion going on all the time.
You're just under the illusion, that you have positive emotion going on, and the reason for that is: Because you are used to, you are comfortable with thinking the thoughts that you've been thinking. And so they feel normal. Not necessarily in alignment with desire!

And that's the reason that we are commenting in a stronger way, wanting to put more emphasis upon your personal realization of whether this is a satisfying thought, or not. Now we know, when you're on the beach with your dog, you're satisfied. We know that for sure! But it's possible to be on the beach with your dog, feeling satisfied and move into an unsatisfying thought. And in fact, you do that sometimes, too, even on the beach! And so, you don't have to clean up all your thoughts! We don't want you to dig in and try to get to the bottom of things. We just want you to lean positively, or change the subject.

Just don't contradict your thoughts!

So, for example let's take the exact example of you, wanting to help your kids with their wedding. What else did you say? Buy a house?

HS:
Buy a house, um, travel...

Abe:
So let's take the kids with their wedding. Are they expressing to you a desire for something, that they need, that you can't afford?

HS:
Actually, no! The wedding, that's happening next year. We're okay with it, because we only have to do the rehearsal dinner. But, like in the future... I have three other kids. I'm just thinking my daughter... our general financial situation right now wouldn't support four weddings!

Abe:
So, through life experience- and we're even talking about the years that you've been listening to us, what do you think is the dominant thing that you've put into your Vortex, relative to your children? Self-sufficiency, or dependency upon you? Do you think that you've been really wanting to create a relationship where you do all things for them? "No, not ALL things, just some things. But along my physical trail, Abraham it's sort of a common thing for parents to do something about...!" What we're asking you is: Do you think, there's any contradiction between what you're thinking about these weddings, and what you've actually put into your Vortex?

HS:
Probably, yeah.

Abe:
So, that one's a little more difficult for you to sort out. Because most parents believe that you really owe a lot to your children! But...

HS:
Yah. They're not asking! It's so funny, cuz my son is like: "Mom, we just want flipflops, T-shirts, a barbecue!" -They're not asking for a lot! And I'm... I'm actually really listening to him. So I don't...

Abe:
So he's telling you that- in response to what? You're just on the beach, enjoying the dog. What makes him say that to you?

HS:
He's in Seattle!

Abe:
Why would he ever say that to you?

HS:
Cuz it's what he and his fiance really want!?

Abe:
Yeah. But why is he saying that to you?

HS:
Because I am expressing to him my desire to do more!

Abe:
But what influence are you under, while you're expressing that desire? Are you under the influence of abundance, and this... this natural, easy flow? Or are you under the influence of "I don't have enough. And I feel bad, that I don't have enough." -What's the active vibration within you, that's making him want to compensate, and say to you: "Hey Mom, we're not counting on you!"

THAT'S what's scattering your thoughts! -The idea of these weddings, as life is coming at you, is causing you to confront the subject of finances, and instead of feeling satisfied, you feel dissatisfied.

HS: Yes. Yes!

Abe:
Well, stop it! (laughter)
That's as big as it gets! That's all you're doing: You're feeling dissatisfied about your current situation, because you're using the beliefs that you have and the circumstantial evidence: "We might be able to make it with one, but we can't do all four!" In other words, feel the case you're making against yourself! So, what is the big subject? Is it wedding? No. Is it travel? No. It's ALL of those things! It's abundance, flowing into your experience. So, can you feel how- if you're satisfied, you're allowing the abundance to flow.

That's why you allow the abundance to flow in the ways that don't involve money.

You allow the timing of the universe, to show you the most magnificent sunrises, or sun sets.
You allow the universe to show you the friskiness and joy of the dog, or the goals, or whatever else is out there. In other words, you're letting abundance flow to you, in lots and lots and lots and lots of ways- but when it comes to that financial abundance, you've got some beliefs that you just keep reactivating, that are in the way.

And the way you clean that up is, just by asking yourself: "Is this a satisfying thought?"

Now, let's play with this a little bit. Because you've all got the idea of it, and many of you are doubting, that it's as simple as that!
But it really IS just as simple as that! Because it's this way: You see, you're living life right here and now. And it doesn't matter what you've lived. It doesn't matter what your financial condition has been. In fact, the more contrast you've lived, the more good stuff you've put in your Vortex, that has already summoned cooperative components.

But if you're dissatisfied, you're not one of the Cooperative components!
If you're satisfied you're one of the Cooperative components.

So here's the thing we really really really want you to hear! ...A man was talking about a barbecue contraption that he's invented and he wants the funding and he wants the world to embrace it, and he wants it to sell, and he wants to get a lot of money, because he has some things that he wants to do with the money. So, as we chewed for a little while with him, then we began asking the audience: Does this man have to feel satisfaction about this barbecue-contraption, here and now, in order for it to go for the success of it happen? And the entire audience knew, that he didn't have to feel satisfaction about that!

He just had to feel satisfaction!

Because if you believe that you've got to feel satisfaction about the thing that you don't feel satisfaction about, "I'm going to feel satisfaction about this thing that I don't feel satisfaction about!" ...Are you satisfied? "Yeah I'm satisfied. Yeah I'm satisfied." But you're NOT! You're under a different influence. But what are you satisfied about: "I'm satisfied about the self-sufficiency of my son. I'm satisfied about how he stands in his flip-flops on the beach! I'm satisfied about his joyous life experience! I'm satisfied... or, or, or, or, or! There are thousands of things in any moment in time, that you could find to be satisfied about. And when you decide that the name of this game is to lean in the direction of this influence- what influence are you wanting to be under? Really, friends.

YOU are the only uncooperative component, in the desires that are coming into being for you!

Little by little, you said: I'd like that. I'd like that! I prefer that, I'd prefer that... Law of Attraction gathered them as cooperative components. And you know what all of your desires- hear this!

ALL of your desires are cooperating with each other!
Source and law of attraction have gathered them. These cooperative components are there.

When you're dissatisfied, you're not one of the Cooperative components! So you can't be in a place, where you can receive the impulse, or the train of thought, that will lead you to where you want to be. Sometimes you think: "Well, I don't really want to be under the influence, so that I'm lead. I just want it to happen! And I'll just show up later." And we say, well that's the biggest flaw, that most humans believe!

You are CREATORS. And you want to CREATE!
And the only satisfaction you'r ever feeling is, when you have asked for something, and you're letting yourself move toward it.

You've GOT to be under that influence! And moving toward the magnificent things that you've put into your Vortex, little by little- or you cannot feel satisfaction.

HS:
Yeah. The unfolding... I've been in situations like, I do photography. And I have stepped that up a bit, and I've made greeting cards, and a calendar and the unfolding of that process was so much fun. So I understand that concept. I don't want, you know, a sack of money... not that I would mind... being dropped at my feet, in the sense that I understand... as you say, how the path's lighting up and... and how fun it is, to see everything fall together...

Abe:
Now wait a minute!! If a stack of money dropped up your feet, you're driving down the road and the armored car doors open, and the money falls in your path... are you telling us that you could just scoop it up, in your car, and you would be satisfied??

HS:
No! I'm saying it...

Abe:
You'd go to jail!!

HS:
I'd go to jail. All right! If I won the lotto, I don't... it would be lovely! But it wouldn't be as satisfying, as my life unfolding, like...

Abe:
We don't mean that at all!!
We think, winning the lottery could be a very satisfying thing!! We're not trying to get you to not want the things, that you want!

We're just showing you how you get there! So, if you decide that you're going to win the lottery, and you can't conceive of that. And you know the odds of that, and so your own thoughts are working against- that's what you're calling scattering of thoughts. And that's what we're calling contradictory thoughts to what you desire! Here's the thing, when you live life, and it causes you to create preferences, to identify preferences- and then your preferences gather together, and there's a magnificent unfolding... if you can manage to stay in a state of satisfaction!

Just because thought by thought, you're catching it, when the first dissatisfaction happens.

And you don't let it take hold- the advantage that law of attraction brings you that is most discernable to you, most palpable, most present, is the gift -we'll just use that word! The gift of good timing. Because, when you're tuned in tapped in turned on- because you're not doing that thing you do, that keeps you from being; then you rendezvous in more timely things. With thoughts about past present or future, with thoughts that are beneficial and with impulses that are beneficial and with others who are beneficial and with experiences that are beneficial.

And that's what a satisfying life IS!
You can't have an unhappy journey on the way to a happy ending! It just doesn't happen: It's happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy! We could even say, it feels really good, really good, really good, gooder, gooder, gooder, good, gooder good! And of course we agree with all of you about this:

The explosion into the manifestation- that's the brink that you all want to be upon.
And that's the moment in time that you feel the most exhilaration! In other words:
Manifestation matters.

You're here in this physical time and space, because you are creators into the physical!

Thoughts are turning to things. And you want thoughts to turn to things! But as humans, you've become so enamored with that moment when the thoughts turn to the things- and you're so enamored with the things, that you forget about the deliciousness of the journey.

Which is the only reason that these things ever exist! They are the final product of this joyous journey, and your life is about the joyous journey. Not about the product.

Every impulse is an impulse from Source!
Because Source never stops calling you.

I am enjoying the journey,
because the destination is certain!

Abraham Hicks

Our job is the Perceiving of the "Done", assembled Components/Essences
of the Vortex into specific, physical Experiences

We don't want to make it sound like it's already created!
We want you to understand, that you've created the Essence of it,
and now you get to bring it all the way home!

Now you get to PERCEIVE it into being.
That is the delicious part of Life experience!

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.
