Appreciation of My Life

[Jenny Lee]

Randomly write out some statements or stories I hear from Abe.

~ Find a feeling and rampage about it. Find a feeling and rampage about it. Don't rampage to find a feeling, for usually it would backfire.

~ The Hotseater wants to sell sculptures in her garden. And Abe suggest she love the garden, the sculptures and all the people coming to visit it whether they buy or not. Just be the magnet for her own garden and sculptures, and among all those who come to the garden, there must be buyers. Plus, feeling good instead of feeling needy is beneficial to her as a whole. Abe talk about how Esther and Jerry would be the magnet for the shopping malls to attract customers because of their appreciation of the shopping malls and people within.

~ The hotseater worried about his house, because a tall tree nearby seemed to be fragil. And a professional landscaper warned him about this. Abe said when he purely appreciates/loves his house (without many negative thoughts like worrisome thoughts), it's not possible that that tree would fall onto his house. It would defy laws. Either the tree is still there, and the Hotseater is absolutely sure of his house's security. His worry is totally gone. Or something happens, and the tree would be cut down and moved away.

~ There are a lot of people thriving eating so-called junk food. But if you don't believe this, you would not find them. There are people who can shift the vibration of the food they are gonna eat to the best right before they eat it.

~ Feel as good as you can about money. About money receiving, spending, borrowing, managing, etc. Feeling good is the key. You can be a happy bargain hunter. And you can be a happy spendthrift. When you spend money, spend it joyously. Don't plead a needy case. The squeaking wheel gets the oil--this attitude may cause big troubles, for it often indicates low vibrations. The benefits getting from complaining or showing lackfulness for others' sympthy would be extremely miniscule compared to the receiving from our alignment. Milk and appreciate more those aligned receiving and abundance.

~ I especially like the conversation between the sportsman and Abe in which they talk about dreams, physical ages and authorities in the society. The hotseater gave up on his love for hockey early on for two reasons. First, he thought that the prime time of a sportsman would be before he reaches 18 years old and from then, the physical condition would become worse and worse. And it's a rare case for "old" sportsmen to perfrom well. It's a very short lived career. Second, he imagined the perfect game and he performed extremely well in a specific game, but then the coach told him he failed in getting the contract. So he decided being a hockey player was not his dream or fit career anymore and he began to work in other areas. But this desire didn't die and maybe a dozen years later, he was really confused about it--is it still in his Vortex? If so, how can he perfrom well and long now that he is very old--like more than 30 years old? Abe explained the whole thing very clearly to him. This desire IS in his Vortex and has been increasing all along. His belief about physical age and its affection upon physical body is very bogus. Lots of thoughts/beliefs from so-called sages or authorities are not aligned at all. Finally, Abe suggest he not take action too soon, but instead feel as good as he can, using any reason, and then he would be inspired to do things related to his desire of being this happy hockey player.

~ I just listened to Abe talk about the never-ending, changing desires of us. It's a never-ending manifesting and amending. So just don't demand something totally right first crack out of the box. Don't demand the perfect house that would last forever. The perfect whatever for the rest of our lives. We may want a big house, and then a small house, and then again a big house. We may want to enjoy our solitude more. Then we may want to connect with others more. And after some time, we may want more solidute again. Just be flexible, malleable and be honest with our emotions. When we are honest with our emotions, we would relax more and let go of certain stubbornness like something must be always in my life, some things should always be my priorities, while my Inner Being may be strongly saying to me: They are not now. Come this way to this new thing. Come this way to this new thing. Just let go of those not matching now. Let go of them...

I so appreciate Esther, Jerry and Abraham.

On a daily basis, I would listen to them talk about specific subjects. When the conversations are strongly resonating with me, I would listen to them clearly two time or three times in a roll.

For example, this evening, I listened to them talk about how to think about a messy house, getting a new house and an old dream of being a hockey player. They are such great reminders. They remind me:

Do not care about others' opinions. Get into alignment and a neat house may or may not be in my Vortex. If not, I am just happily living my life in a so-called messy house. I keep on feeling happy and proud of myself no matter who comes to the house, whether they approve or not of the house condition. If the clean and orderly house is in my Vortex, I would be inspired to make it orderly, and the process would be satisfying. Inspired from alignment action always feels good.

Don't settle for less. My Inner Being never settles for less. When I settle for less, I have a different attitude from my Inner Being, and I feel bad. When I mainly focus upon even just one good-feeling subject and feel good, all others subjects would start getting well. So be flexible and sensible enough to know when to shift the focus away, or go general or go specific about certain subjects. Don't take action too soon. Don't try to make things happen with actions--thinking thoughts could be one of these misaligned actions. Always get energy aligned first. Don't let any other person negatively affect your opinions of your true dreams and desires, no matter how famous, honored they are, regardless of their titles. Sages, authorities, beloved teachers, or Abe.

Our bodies are extremely cooperative. Our bodies can be forever young and robust. Our bodies can continually get stronger and smarter and powerful. All things are possible for our bodies.

Life is a never-ending, amending, expanding malleable journey. Let things manifest and naturally subside or leave, and then let new things manifest, change for the better or keep in good states , and let them naturally go if that's our true desire. Let go of more "shoulds" and "musts". Follow our good-feeling inspirations/impulses/instincts more and more.

I was ordering a plate of fried noodles in the afternoon. As it arrived at the door, I naturally went to the kitchen, got a bowl, and poured some of the noodles and the meat to the bowl with chopsticks. At home, I rarely ate much rice or other staple food, because a bowl is enough. While in restaurants or diners, I may eat much more because they often serve more and I either allow myself to eat more or I forget to manage the intake. I closed the box. Interestingly, even when I started ordering the meal, I thought it's a match to my father, because it was a little spicy. I usually prefer meals without any chillies, but he likes spicy food.I put a pair of gloves upon the box to keep it warm for a longer period of time. One and a half hours later, my father came back with my little niece. He enjoyed it, though he didn't speak about it. Generally speaking, we enjoy food more easily while my mom is more picky. I felt satisfied.

I then went out with my niece, letting her sit in the pushchair. I was totally mindful as we walked on a busy road. She was happily observing and enjoyed the views. I enjoyed the fresh air, the physical exercise and the fact that I was her step 2 cooperative component. We arrived at the Lawson convenience store and I carried the pushchair into the store, bought a steamed bun stuffed with vegetables, and then sat on the stool at one corner of the store. I blew the bun to make it cooler and as soon as I blew air, she imitated me. So cute! As she was eating, I noticed that she was busy moving her head, and I realized her intention. So I repositioned her pushchair so that she could observe those abundant, colorful products on the shelves. When we were at the store, my mind was calm and satisfied, not hurrying to think or plan. We spent 40 minutes outdoors, on the road and in this store.

From time to time, I just like doing something with love to others, and clearly know that I myself is the direct beneficiary of these doings. Knowing this really saves me so many troubles others may experience. Because I am sure I don't demand or need others' rewards. If I think so, that means I am misaligned at the moment. That doesn't mean I want to play with people who are not respectful, etc.

Some really beneficial memories.

There are a lot of things I can appreciate my parents about. Among them, some directly relate to their loving toward me. And these can easily lessen my impatience or irritation in some cases. So for me, some memories are really important and quick for me to change my attitudes toward them.

Like, sometimes my mom would ask me to do something I don't feel like doing but part of me still wants to help her. So the energy is splited. I would use these memories to get into alignment. I would remember that when I was in the hospital, she accompanied me. She stopped doing what felt better to her and was there--the littleinpatient ward--for me day and night. She insisted I sleep in that more comfy bed. She kept on enouraging me. She was doing the handwork with me. She went out to buy what I liked eating every day. She bought me boba tea almost daily, not saying anything like "It's unhealthy." She didn't talk any negative stuff. She didn't blame me or complain at all. Compared to her, I must admited that when I went to hospitals with them, I felt impatient from time to time, I felt bad because I couldn't do what I liked doing, but after this experience, this attitude shifted within me.

Usually as I remember those days, focusing mainly upon what my mom had done for me, my attitude would immediately shift. And I would willingly do things for her. I would say to her, "Let me fix your phone. If I couldn't fix it, I'll mail it back to the seller and change a new one." And then with great confidence, I soon tuned in and successfully solved the problem for her. When my parents meet problems with their smart phones, I am willing to solve these problems for them, while at the same time, I know that they are not in a needing me state, because I am sure that they can solve problems through abundant ways. It's just I am easily available to them. I am sure that there are lots of cooperative people in their Vortices and I am never the only one who can help them. And I will continually think so, no matter what.

At a certain point, one of the most important key work is to appreciate/focus upon the positive aspects, no matter how subtle.

This morning, again, I was a happy bargain attractor. When I was buying my breakfast on a food delivery app, one of the banks offers me immdiate deduction "unexpectedly," so I got to enjoy the egg pancake with half the price. I continually get this kinds of abundance from different banks. I appreciate them.

Recently, some cute pepople enter my world. I feel naturally happy and smile all along when I watch them. I watch their work. I watch their happy and hilarious interactions. I watch fan-made mvs and shorts. I read comments about them and notice that I immediately know what some new items mean because it's an interest of mine lasting about 20 years. I remember what Abe said about the incredible and magical interactions and togetherness when people are interested in the same thing and have walked together for a long time. And this acutally easily applies to lots of online communities with people share the same hobbies and interests. When the main focus of the community is to discuss, appreciate, create and fun, then this community would be an incredible and magical space, like here this forum.

It's interesting when I talked to my sister-in-law that I had met her colleague in the nearby convenience store, and she said that this store had been there for sometime, while I thought it just opened. Then I remembered that I rarely went to walk on that road though it was extremely close. So it's possible that both the convnience store and the ramen shop have opened for some time and the store owner and the beautiful kid of that ramen shop have been friends for a long time. The little boy likes sharing his happiness with the store owner and I watched him running into the store to show off his watch. Why? It must be that the store owner treats him so nicely and responds to him genuinely, being able to stand in kids' shoes. He said he also owned an electronic watch and he would bring it the next day. New discoveries in so-called old environments. Since then, I had went there several times to buy breakfast.

There are unlimited travelling vlogs. Usually I like watching those with lovely human interactions, and often there are something new with the unfolding. As for purely views--natural or street, I would get bored after some time by observing them. I watched a video last night and I finished the whole video, and pondering upon the newness. It's a town in Myanmar, previously busy and robust as a famous tourist attraction, but now quiet with almost no turists. I immediately think it must be because of the war happening within the country. Then I am glad to realize that don't easily take things for granted, actually it becomes like this long ago, since the covid came. It's a neat city with some unique folk houses lining both sides. Two solemn and beautiful Buddhist temples stand there and then a very interesting thing appears. Usually the vision in this video is poignant, but it's not focused upon sounds, or it can single out the sounds, so the uploader explains that it's so quiet here, and so when the wind blows, all the wind bells hanging from the eaves of the temples begain to sing. It's so beautiful and poetic. Thanks to her explanation, I get to immediately imagine that feel, that atmosphere. And it is satisfying. And I also learned again what would happen when war happens. Young guys are afraid to walk on the street especially in the daytime, because they may be caught to go to the army. I am glad that I can live in a peaceful place with my family, no one worrying about things like this.

Morning Appreciation:

I feel really good. I may say I feel joy or strong happiness. And this joy is about a specific subject whose momentum has been increasing day by day for a while...

I just found some common interests with my little niece, who is just one year old. We both love music and when I play music based upon my preferences, she too enjoys the songs. She sings. She curiously plays with my phone. She nods and waves hands to match the rhythm. She has a totally relaxed face. When I show her her brother's photos, she behaves differently. She would put on a big big smile and even giggles and calls him excitedly.

Actually I should not easily give upon subjects that had brought me great fun, pleasure and benefits before. In the human world, people may think that "the old thing" is not a match now, or actually is a burden, or even a hinder, so it's best for us to get rid of it and move on to the new things. While, often, what's in the Vortex about it would be extremely different. From "the old thing," we have put a lot of new, improved elements into our Vortices, and usually , we would realize and experience them intimately with the so-called old thing, such as still in this specific relationship but in new ways, still in this physical place but with new positive perspectives, still involved with a learning subject but full of inspirations now. I feel blessed to know this. I just had an interesting experience. As for a specific subject, it feels like that it is not attractive anymore, but it doesn't need to be so. When I choose to deliberately appreciate it, my fond of it may very well come back, sooner or later. So yesterday afternoon, I picked back my love for the ongoing novel and happily wrote another chapter. And I was so focused that I even forgot the coffee. I only took two or three sips. The whole writing was smooth, creative, refreshing and energizing. I would continue the writing until it really loses its juices and reaches the phase of ending. Otherwise, I choose not to easily give upon something that has played an important role in my life for a long time. At least I should try and see whether it's really not a match now. Make the experience more vidvid as follows：

It was a sunny bright day. I wanted to write the new chapter. I pre-paved it before I went outdoors. This time, I just wanted to get to the cafe quicker to begin my writing, so I went there by bus. In the cafe, I ordered my hot coffee, sat down, took out my phone, and started to write on my phone. I explored the main atmospheres--suche as humorous, funny, warm-hearted, poetic, romantic, with a little angst, etc.--I wanted to write. I designed some main situations within which the main characters interact. And I still knew that all this planning was just the general, changable pre-paving. And the actual content may be quite different, because as the writing starts, new ideas and scenarios would naturally show up. After one and a half hours, I finished the chapter and felt really satisfied. I shared it in the oline community and rest with the feeling a bit, and then turned my attention to other subjects. For me, the writing is multi-functional, because I use it to explore aligned relationships in vivid ways, in relatable life scenarios. And so it helps me to get better at enjoying relationships of different ways and feels in the reality.
