Jerry: What I sense is often people are thinking, “If I had money” or “If I had the things” or “If I had the relationship” or “If I had the career” or “If I had the (whatever) then I could be happy.” But you’re almost inferring that we need to get happy first and then we can get all of that. But the key is how can you get so happy that you can be that pure feeling even though the other things are out there not in place yet?
A: The easiest way is to let your Inner Being guide you. In other words, if you would deliberately offer thought, and then deliberately feel how that thought feels, so that you show yourself presence or absence, presence or absence of that vibration, then you would discover that when you are thinking about not enough dollars, that you are experiencing the absence not only of your Inner Being, but the potential of allowing the dollars that you want. In other words, we know that there are many issues that are very difficult to unravel, and we see many of you as you are struggling against the issue – and that is the reason that we are trying to bring this back to that very elementary but very important place of recognizing that as you are vibrating, you are attracting.
We are wanting to come back to our opening story as we were showing you how you felt just before you emerged into this body. As you emerged, suddenly you were surrounded by a mother who was worried that you might not be safe, and you were surrounded by a world that was guarded against all sorts of things, and in their well-meaning-ness are teaching their guardedness to you, so right away you felt the contrast of that which feels good and that was not. And so, in trying to fill up that void, that’s where you gathered the majority of your ideas of what you want. From a place of void you said, “If I could have more money, I wouldn’t feel this void. If I could find more people to love me or appreciate me, I would not feel this void.” Almost every behavior that you see from almost every person that you witness is offered from that place of void. And we say to you there is not enough action – you cannot attend enough seminars to teach you how to get that stuff because that stuff is all in an effort to fill up a void, a void that is only there because of the absence of your Inner Being, where the absence of your Inner Being is only happening because your choice of thought in this moment vibrates out of harmony. Your Inner Being vibrates in Pure Positive Energy – when you think a thought, that thought vibrates, and as it vibrates it either vibrates in harmony with, or in harmony not with the vibration of your Inner Being. It is really as simple as that.
And so we would say for anyone to really grasp this and accomplish this, it does require first an acceptance of Inner Being; Inner Being exists. Second, an acceptance that Inner Being not only exists, but vibrates in Pure Positive Energy, and that Inner Being is with you in every moment, but sometimes you disallow yourself from experiencing it. Those prerequisites would be important before you could go further in the allowance of anything that you are wanting and that you are experiencing. That’s why those who have emerged into the physical, who had people around them that said right from the beginning, “You’re good and everything’s alright”, those who, because of the influence that surrounded them often felt the presence of their Inner Being. When you see them from a distance, you say, “They’re self-confident.” We say they’re filled with the presence of their Inner Being. You say, “They’re happy.” We say they’re filled with the presence of their Inner Being. You say, “They’re physically healthy.” We say they’re filled with the presence of their Inner Being. That is the only thing that is important to acknowledge, because once you understand how to have the presence of your Inner Being, then from that point you are guided to what is most appropriate for you - you find your life purpose that was intended; you satisfy all of the intentions.
