The Abe Forum

I finished the bath, and I said to myself, "Now I smell good. What's the scent of the body wash?" I smiled, because it's so funny. I rarely thought like this but it's true. After I brushed my teeth, of couse I would have pleasant breath. And of course I would smell good after the bath. In those web novels, authors like writing all kinds of positive things about the main characters, such as the pleasing smell of cigarettes--while for some people, this is not something worth smelling; they frown. Some people just hate the smell of cigarettes. But when one says things like the above about oneself, he/she may feel awkward or uncomfortable. Because some of us are just not used to describing us this way, while in reading, we may easily think that these characters are charismatic. I don't feel uncomfortable. It's just a little funny to say these things to myself: So now I may smell like mint or jasmine, because that's the scent of my shampoo/body wash...

I see my nephew as cute. I am used to him imitating characters in his favorite games in real life. So when he waved his body and nodded his neck and told his mom the name of his teacher, I didn't find anything strange. He was like me, good at multi-tasking. I often let my mind wander while my body is doing certain activity. I often create stories on my mind while washing dishes. So my nephew was using part of his body imitating a cartoon figure while telling his mom the answer she wanted to know. But his mom immediately laughed. She was so easy to laugh. She still found his behavior hilarious, though he behaves like this almost every day. "Why did you move your body like that? What's the point?" She began to imitate his bodily moves, and he started to play back and bang his forehead against her mom's. Confused as my brother was, he had to ask, "What happened?" I stood there, as a satisfying bystander. I believe that my little niece will be like her mom who easily discovers something to laugh about.

Almost everybody was saying how impressively handsome and beautiful the actor was. No camera could capture his real beauty, none. A lot of them almost felt tranced seeing him closely. All other sounds subsided. They were like in a dream after a long while. Whoa! Their reactions made me feel interested. And then, the inerest seemed gone. I was never a groupie. I never felt the strong desire to follow some people and to observe closely their faces and listen to their words. When I look at his pictures, of course I know how crazily handsome this actor is. Maybe one day I can take a close look at him. Maybe not. It's not a strong desire within me, at least for now. But I am interested in different personalities and desires in the human world. My sister is a groupie. She goes to concerts. She would go to the airports and take photos and get signatures. One day I asked her and also teased her, "Can you actually clearly see them? In most cases, you can't see them clearly in the concerts. You are actually looking at them also through big screens. Isn't it?" She admitted, but she still went and still plans to go. These things make her happy. That's the beauty of the variety. The big differences among people render this world interesting. At once, she asked me to go with her, and I quickly said no. I remembered that I had gone to a concert. I felt bored. I would rather listen to music at home. And most importantly, I was not a fanatic fan of any specific singer, though I like a lot of singers. I didn't have that kind of affection to enjoy the concert or the activity of following these people around. But it's fun to hear some stories from my sister. And it's interesting to see her silly grin when she talks about her favorite singers or athletes. For her happiness, I am willing to do some things about her hobby, like taking packages of magazines, photos and pins on her behalf. For, this makes her happy, and sometimes joyful and excited. Nothing is more important than that one feels good.

Life changes. Plans can lose its juices.

I was interested in a drama when it was still filming. At first I didn't see the actress as attractive, but as time went by, I found her pleasing to my eyes. I considered that she and the actor could make a wonderful couple and seemed to have chemistry though I didn't know at all what the story was. I thought, when it comes out, I'd watch it. Last month, it came out and became a hit and immediately both the actor and actress got immense popularity. However, I already lost interest. The first day it aired, I didn't watch. As it became more and more popular, I still had no interest. I was hooked by a low budget story I just knew before it aired. And, I actually reaped all benefits. I held the positive expectation of that drama, which felt good to me and benefited to me. When it loses its juices to me, I don't force myself to watch it, which is good too, saving my time and energy. I just follow my feelings.

One and a half years ago, I was called to watch a movie in the theatre. I rarely watch movies in theatres, for many reasons. Often the stories are too dramatic. Second, the sounds are too loud and sometimes uncomfortable to me. I often had to deliberately ignore some unpleasant scenes when my friend asked me to watch movies with her. But that movie was so different. I didn't know it before. The actors were mostly new. The theme was not my type too; it's about war. I didn't listen to the reasoning in my mind; I thought, why not? So I went and I watched and in the following days, till now about 500 days, it became part of my life. I watch a lot. I read a lot. I join a group. I even began to write stories myself. Today, I just preordered the ticket for part 2 of this movie series and I am gonna watch it next Wednesday. I am sure there would a surge of new creations about it for me to enjoy in the future. I am happy. It has been bringing me abundant beauty, fun, laughter, warmth, oceans of sweet emotions and creative ideas.

I like the atmosphere of the shopping mall. It has spacious sitting areas on the second floor and I can sit there with a cup of hot coffee, doing what I like on my phone. I get a hot Americano and sit down. I ponder and then tell myself, this time, I would let the story go further with the same amount of words, but all affections and emotions I wanna express should not be lessened. Challenge accepted. And it is an interesting challenge. Either I would be very delibeate about the words I choose; or if I am inspired, I don't need to consider much. After clarifying my intention, I soon get into the mood and right words and sentences easily and smoothly flow out onto my phone. 1 hour and 10 minutes later, I finish the new chapter. I feel really satisfied. I like this new pace. More different experiences have happened within this one short chapter, but the abundant emotions are still there. Great!

I appreciate the infrastructure here. I can easily find wonderful places to sit and enjoy my time in the public. Within every 5 to 10 minute walk, there is a clean, well maintained public washroom. There are sitting areas in parks, super markets, shopping malls and along the river. Sometimes it feels better sitting in the open area than in the indoor spaces such as cafes. Because I have access to vibrant open views and interesting dynamics of people walking around and machines operating busily.

I appreciate my yoga mat. I appreciate my free time. I appreciate my cooperative body. I like running at home. It's a wonderful exercise that benefits every part of my body and makes my feet warm. I feel glad that I can easily run for 15 minutes a time, accompanied by music and deliberate thoughts in my mind. I like multi-tasking. So I run and I visualize what I like in my mind. I make the best of my time during the 15 minutes.

Usually, during the later part of my outdoor walking, I listen to Abe. The specific conversations I choose are based upon my present interest. I may be interested in the topic of relationships, or physical wellness, or financial abundance, or genius. My mind is fully focused and I hear clearly every word from Esther and Abe. When the resonance is strong, I immediately loop the conversation and sometimes, I directly tune to the most meaningful part and purposefully memorize those statements which I decide to ponder further. I like this activity. Immensely. Also, it is wonderful prepaving for me, allowing me to learn and know more about subjects that for now are not very related. But they may play important roles in my future.

I love Music. Words can not describe its importance to me. Music is part of my life, as well as stories.

I like moving fast with the characters. After I made new intention of how let the story unfold, things get faster for the main characters, for I can let freely arrange the timeline. I can say "one month later," "one year later," etc. And I can use one or two sentences to explain something big has happened, and then new stories which attract me start and I could vividly depict this part. I really like the freedom of writing and the new pace which I just found and felt satisfied with. And this immediately shift my frequency of updating the story. Usually I write one chapter every 3 to 5 days, and this time, I share the new chapter the next day because I am inspired to.

I appreciate the abundant conversations I have looped between Abe and those wonderful HSs. In my daily life, some of them, or some statements within them would pop up and guide me. For example, when I feel annoyed at certain housework, the conversation between Abe and an entrepreneur would appear in my mind and I would remember that: Feeling good is feeling good. I would want to apply the big power to all things, not just the big things but also the so-called small things. Because so-called small things consist make up the big part of our lives. And then I could calm down a bit and I begin to sooth myself and remind myself of the importance of feeling good no matter what. I would tell myself be patient, it would take much time and soon I can go back to do what I like.

I appreicate the method of focusing upon what I like with my mind while going through the motion with my body. Whenever I need to do something I don't like very much, I often resort to this method and it works really well for me. I may visualize stories on my mind while my hands are doing something repeated. And as my main focus is upon what I like, I feel mostly satisfied, I woudn't complain what my hands are doing. And the more I do so, the less I would attract things I don't like doing. Even they come, knowing what I know, I don't see it as very serious or very unpleasant, because I know how to make the best of them, I know how to feel good using my mind and my imagination and my thinking abilities.

I appreciate all the cooperative components wihch allow me to write as I like in wonderful physical spaces and watch and enjoy what I like and do the vibrational work in the way I like. I like sitting in the shopping mall with a coffee, and smoothly flow out creative stories. I am refreshed and energized. I explore new areas with the characters. I get to know more about aligned relationships and interactions. I enjoy applying words in such an interesting way...

~New manifestations of a specific subject show up and I feel good, but not that exaggerated, because I never had much doubt about them. I expect them to happen in a lighthearted mood, not thinking much, and mainly feel good about what already exist and know how to add up the momentum by my imagination. These new existences put on a big smile on my face. I like the vividness and happiness and natural almost unconscious interpersonal interactions they demonstrate. Great!

~ I like moving the story faster with great brightness and still abundant emotions. I like this new style. I like observing facial expressions and body languages people show when they fall in love in a pure positive way. Maybe with a bit uneasiness when they would feel shy and they would blush. I feel in love with their vivid love and there is such obvious sweetness and joy in my heart. And it becomes so easy for me to write a character who is purely loving without any self-doubt. They behave passionately and boldly. They can't help smiling. They like staring with such intensity. Sometimes they may feel shy and blush if the one they love showers love back. They may scream in their hearts. And they may directly scream and turn around their heads to calm down a bit. They are cute. Or if there is some doubt or hesitation going on, then they may behave like they have installed an anti-addiction system and they would suddenly wake up and bring back their loving stare. They may forcefuly shake their heads and automatically apply their bodies in unnecessarily ways... As characters in stories, they are all interesting and cute. And of course, they can evolve to more purely loving and joyful beings, if the authors let them be.

~ I feel blessed to have abundant consecutive free time to do what I love. I can have a total 2 hours or more to fully enjoy my focused, refreshing and energizing writing. I can write smoothly, purely focusing upon the story, and finish the chapter in one sitting. And I can do this at different time segments, not needing to do it at midnight, because I have enough daytime to do so. I like doing certain things without any outer interruption at one go, and usually they would take at least 30 minutes a time. I am getting better and better at going back to what I was doing with high quality when some interruption happens, but still I prefer to be not bothered by other elements. Glad that this is my usual manifestation on a daily basis. For example, yesterday afternoon, I got to spend two hours writing the story. I pre-paved a bit and then kept writing for 1 hour and 40 minutes. My whole mind and heart got to be devoted to the unfolding of the story the way I wanted it to be.

~ I got an opportunity to practice pivot and step 5. I appreciate knowing that my Inner Being is always loving me, encouraging me and guiding me, never blaming or being mean. I like knowing this. I like practicing this self-love and replace self-blame with it. I like being sensitive to whether others' words are aligned or not. I like in a general term seeing them as bullsh*t as soon as I know they are misaligned at least in my mind. I refuse to make them vivid and detailed in my being, no matter how authoritive the speakers are. I appreciate people who at first made me feel bad with their words and/or behavior, because they let me know the importance of being independent, the importance of not caring about what others say, and the importance of continually reminding what are truly important to me and focus my attention there. I appreciate them for they save my time and energy of wanting to get support from them; instead I got to more quickly turn to my own power which is the most reliable power. And they let me know more clearly what kind of people I want to be in relationships and what kind of people I want to hang around with more. I like being self-reliant. I like independence. I like the fact that I can so easily enjoy my solitude; I rarely feel lonely. So here and now, just list some of my happy solitary activities:

I know what's important to me and I amass co-operative components to do these things as often as I can. I choose the lovely environment to write and I've got abundant free time to do so. I put the hot coffee on my left side, start typing on my phone, and words just naturally come out with vivid scenes in my mind. I love the characters I am portraying. I am so happy finding the new pace which makes me want to write on a daily basis. Before I write next chapter, I don't read the comments. For now, I just want to write purely based upon my own preferences. That doesn't mean reading and feeling the comments would not ignite inspirations--it can be. I decide all. I decide the new atmospheres and emotions. I may say to myself: It will be romantic, cute, fast moving with a bit angst. It has more characters interacting with each other this time... I believe writing like this would be always in my life.

I like listing certain main desires and then deliberately moving in the direction of them. I like having a more desired body shape and so I began to run at home. It becomes easier and easier for me to run. I focus upon the positive aspects of running. Running benefits every part of my body. Running help build a better body shape. I am multi-tasking when running, so I don't waste any time on things I don't like. I listen to music. I think thoughts on my mind.

I like remembering that when I mainly focus upon even just one good-feeling subject, all other sujbects in my life would start getting better. Comparison could be used to deliberately find what work subtly well in my life and milk them to enhance the positve momentum:

I am not in the hospital. I am healthy. I am free flowing. I walk around freely. I often go out for walking. I am clear-minded. I am more energetic now and need sleep less. My body processes food wonderfully. I feel comfortable from head to toe. I am flexible. My fingers are extremely efficient. My mind and brains receive and understand information faster and faster now.

I am not lack of food. I eat well, drink well and rest well. There are abundant fruits and snacks at home; actually I rarely eat them because I don't feel like to. What I enjoy most now is my hot coffee, one of the most important companions in my life. I eat nutritious, home made dishes with fresh vegetables at lunch and supper. I eat some meat, mostly chicken, beef and mutton and crab meat.

I have access to unlimited music and stories. Most importantly, I continually attract music and stories resonating with me, which give me abundant good feelings. When the momentum picks up, I would meet some creations which can make feel joyful, excited, strong love and extremely sweet. These states of high-flying beings can last for a while, like a month, even longer, when I focus upon them. For now, stories I watch, read and write have such strong power. I feel blessed to know this clearly and have been purposefully enjoying them and milking them and creating about them.

~ Mom made snacks to share with family and friends. There were crumbs on her face and she looked cute.

~ Human relationships are so interesting. I hearb Abe talk to the HS about BDSM. If it's moving up the ES, it's good and beneficial. Many obviously misaglined relationships and interactions may not be that bad, they may already be a big, beneficial step forward compared to what happened before. One who might be the leader of a company got tired of using his mind and brains so much, and making decisions and taking responsibility so much, that he/she might be got relieved if his/her spouse is the one making decisions and giving orders and arranging connections with other people. He/She doesn't think much, and only need to follow orders and in wonderful cases, the orders are actually tailored for them. Their minds can get rest while they are still happy contributing to the family. They drive to the grocery store with the clear list given to them; they clean the floor; they...

~ As soon as I decided to write, I write smoothly, I don't stuck. Feeling good in a focused, creative, good feeling way for about one and a half hours at a time is amazing. Even no one reads, just for what it brings to the whole of my being, just for the positive influence it can bring to every aspect of my life, I have already decided that I would keep on writing. I believe it would last for the rest of my life. In the past few days, I increased the pace of the stories, and I think it's good idea to create more new stories with different characters who were born in different places and study or work in different areas. It's fun. And as I bringing in the concept of PoLR into the intentions, the scenes I can depict in a satisfying way broaden.

Being unconditionally lighthearted

Basics: Only focus upon non-resistant subjects. When I mainly focus upon even just one good-feeling subject, all other subjects in my life would start getting better.

It is extremely quiet and I only hear bird chirping outside of the window. I don't play music. At this moment, I just savor the delicious serenity, until I feel like doing something else.

I noticed that that osmanthus tree was still blooming in the winter. Interesting! Several days later, my mom told me, "Look at that tree, it's still blooming, so strange." I answered, "Yes, a magical tree." Mom had noticed it too. More interesting now. I later put this tree in my writing.

My sister-in-law was holding my little niece on her laps. She was so patient. She rarely hurries. She just lets my niece drink the milk the way she wants to. My niece would stop a while, wanting to play a bit and then go back to the milk. My sister-in-law is uniquely laid-back.

My brother is a people person; he likes connecting with people. He often helped me move homes or helped me carry the luggage back home. He drives us around. He shifted his money spending habit because he felt that it is more satisfying to buy toys, clothes and shoes for his son. It's more satisfying for him to take his kids to play around. He doesn't feel like buying new clothes even when my sister-in-law suggested he do. Life changes and his main focus changes too.

Sometimes, my mom eats like a kid. There would be rice or crumbs of snacks on her face. She is cute.

There are a lot of sounds going on in the environment. But I can easily focus my mind upon what I want to write in the shopping mall. I spend two hours there, and I can easily let go of some at first unpleasant sounds, and bring myself back to the smooth and creative writing. It's a good training too.

I clicked an app including lots of poems. I am interested in observing how those poets portray human emotions with rythmic words. Human emotions don't change that much, but how they are expressed could be quite different. Like, some people would bluntly say, "I love you," while some would say, "The moon tonight is so beautiful, do you see it? I hope one day we could enjoy its beauty together." These poets express and enhance their feelings by writing about seaons, the moon, the sun, the oceans and rivers, flowers especially those still blooming in coldness, mountains like Mount Tai, the festivals, etc. They love analogies and metaphors...

...

Morning Appreciation:

I appreciate the atmosphere in which people like each other and people speak nicely to each other.

~ My nephew rushes to me, and immediately starts talking to me about his favorites. I never say to him what he likes is not meaningful, or he should study harder, or... I listen and I can quickly join in, asking him questions and answering his questions, for it's actually not a difficult thing to get some basic ideas about what he is talking about. When he is talking about games, I ask him about the characters, their images and functions, which one or ones he likes most, and how cool they are. I don't want to be a wet blanket and I don't want to meet a wet blanket. Sometimes I almost became a wet blanket, wanting to tell people "you should..." Glad that I do this rarely now.

~ It's fun to watch how joyful when my niece gets together with my nephew. I think her brother is the one she loves most. She screams with joy. She calls him with the dialect because the standard pronunciation of Brother is still hard for her. They laugh together. She crawls fast to knock his door. Her brother hugs her tightly, while we ask him, "Softer, softer."

~ When you really love someone, you smile a lot, you have a big grin on the face. You may want to stare at the other with that silly grin, on and on. Your heart is so light and sometimes you get shy and blush. When you are in the mood, whether it's you in love, or you observe some couples behaving like that, in both situations, you feel joy. You feel love. And you can sorta hold this state and direct it toward other people and things.

I appreciate my abundance.

~ I appreciate the effort I put to enhance my vibe about finances, about money. I am used to make budgets and save some money in advence, for when I do so, I rarely need to feel worry on a daily basis about money. I feel comfortable and secure when thinking about my finances. And it is also a wonderful practice and beneficial self-discipline. There are so many ways to get the same kind of satisfaction which comes from spending money to buy a specfic thing. It also has a unique satisfaction of lightheartedly and clearly knowing the numbers in my bank accounts and purposefully planning about them. I know my priorities so I preorder the movie ticket to get a good seat because it is meaningful to me. I have yearly vips for music and those streaming platforms because music and stories play important roles in my life and I like having high quality access to them on a daily basis...

~ So I appreciate the abundant knowledge and details Abe guide me on subjects like abundance, relationships, health and so on. I can easily remember some of the statements in my daily life. When I feel annoyed at the housework, I remember that feeling good is most important, and I want to apply the big power/alignment to EVERYTHING, instead of just the so-called big and important things. And after that, I would calm down and become more patient. I know that my body is extremely cooperative to my desires and so I experiment with this truth and it works really well on some of my bodily functions. My body really cooperates efficiently. As for relationships, the key method is quite simple; we just need to persistently apply it. The key method is to list positive aspects and the Vortex version of the people we focus upon. On and on. From time to time, if we have already built stable positive vibe on certain people. To jump into the Vortices of these people and explore what are there, and activate good feelings about these thoughts/imaginations/explorations. So, what are in the Vortex of my brother:

~~~~He is an aligned and loving father. He speaks nicely to them. He appreciates their happiness. He feels happy when they are happy. He has great fun with them. He is a funny guy and so are his kids. He often takes out for fun. He is guided and inspired on his business. His business matches his personality. He can easily build genuine relationships with people. He has good timing. He attracts wonderful customers. He is doing well in his business. He is happy, healthy and abundant. He is easy to laugh. He has a lot of interests and hobbies. He likes playing basketball. He likes watching basketball games...

Morning Appreciation:

I have been interested in the subject of relationship these days and so I am inspired to listen to Abe talk about them from different angles. I listened to Abe talk about child abuse, abandonment, etc.

There is a person when I think about, there are some negative feelings like feeling wronged, feeling abandoned. Just a little. Then days ago, I said to myself, "Hey! I don't like these feelings. I like being lighthearted and forward looking; I like having a big heart; I like being really 豁达." Then I decided to really focus upon the perspectives which would make me feel like that. I thought, "I thank her for saving my time and energy which would be used to tell victim stories to her otherwise. I thank her because I got to more quickly go back to search my own power. I got to become independent more quickly, which is one of the most important states of being for myself. Plus, I appreciate her for letting me know more clearly what kind of relationships I want. We can chat a little if we meet, but that's all--actually that happened several times. Then we just separate and I don't need to have any further thoughts. It's a polite, not deep relationship, but enough for now and may very well be enough for the rest of my life."

So I began to listen to Abe talking about these and obviously my above thoughts are quite a match to What Abe say though I may not have any strong love for certain people and I don't need to if I feel no negative feelings thinking about them or meeting them. But they, those so-called rascals or people dissapointing us really help me to become stronger myself, more independent, more dependent upon the only thing that I can rely on which is my alignment, my positive connection with my Inner Being. For this, I appreciate them though this appreciation doesn't feel like love.

I like the emphasis Abe give to the phrase and the actual existence of THE POWER of INFLUENCE. This subject is worth continual exploration and practice on and on. It's extremely beneficial and meaningful for me to remember it, to remember how powerful personal alignment can be in terms of positively influence others. The specific methods are simple: Remember what you like about the person, list positive aspects of the person, and imagine the/your Vortex version of the person and activate according good feelings about the imagination...

In some cases, I can still find self-beating in my mind. But recently, I remember more that my Inner Being never blames me and never criticizes me and I want to be more Inner Being-like toward myself. And it's a good practice to soothe myself toward more self-loving and self-encouraging. I can say to myself:

~ Yes, I know clearly this part of my life is not satisfying to me. I know what I want. I have been deliberately moving toward what I want. "I should" doesn't make things get better at all. Self-blame or saying "I should" only delays the process. And I notice that in most cases the contents of the shoulds come from comparison and so-called duties which are not my duties if I think clearly. I don't want to buy into this stuff. I choose to follow my own pace. Loving myself no matter what, encouraging myself no matter what, not blaming myself no matter what, feels powerful to me and I would like to purposefully cultivate this attitude. I am doing well. When I get together with certain people, I can be cautious, as soon as some words come out of their mouths, I can use my own ways to not let them negatively influence me. I can just repeat mantras in my mind such as "Not care," "Not interested," "Bulls***t," "Not true at all," etc. if it's not a good idea to just leave.
