Quotes about The Now - The Present Moment

As we observe your physical world, we see that most of you, in your hurry to "do", are very busy.

There is a sort of frenzy to "do", but not much is done in joy.

Some are deliberately "sacrificing" joy for the sake of growth, or reward.

Others actually want to have joy, or want to enjoy, but just can't seem to hold onto it for more than a moment here and there.

Commonly, you are looking toward some place in your future for the satisfaction that you seek.
Looking toward the weekend,
looking toward vacation,
looking toward retirement
"If I just had more money, then I would be happy."
"When I find my perfect mate, then I will be happy."
"Once I find the perfect work, then I will be happy."

Most are looking toward a future time for pleasure, and a feeling of satisfaction, but very little joy is being experienced in your now. And yet your NOW is your life experience.


- Abraham, 1991


-

The Place Your Find Yourself in, in every Now, is Temporary

The joyous place you may be standing is temporary,
and the abhorrent place that you may be standing is temporary.
Your now reality is only a temporary, momentary culmination of what you’ve been thinking about.

The Actor-Process


HS:
As an actor, I morph.
And I don't look at it as me, stepping outside myself.
But as me, becoming, in the moment.

Abe:
What is your preparation, when you receive, or are getting ready
to receive inspiration, about a character that you might express?
Is the character placed in his mood, or attitude?
Is the character placed in his circumstance?

Because it's only once you understand those things,
and you are actually able to acknowledge and
EMANATE the mood- THE MOOD!- of your character,
that the appropriate words then would flow through!

HS:
On camera, or in pictures, a lot of people say:
"That's not you!" or "that doesn't look like you, at all!"
And I say: "Isn't that cool!" and, "that's my job!"
But I look at it as frames per second on a camera
as the same as frames per second in time-space-reality,
it's just capturing the essence of who I am.

So, I focus the essence, while it's being captured, it's logical that
that's what's on the tape may not even physically resemble
who I am, NOW, because that's what my focused...

Abe (interrupting):
That is the best description of deliberate creation, that we ever heard!
Because EVERYONE is an actor in this sense, that they get to project
whatever vibration they choose to project!


But if everybody who is listening in would understand, that
DELIBERATE CREATION IS JUST EXACTLY THAT:
-UNDERSTAND THE ROLE YOU WANT TO PLAY.
-And find it's VIBRATIONAL; EMOTIONAL BASIS FIRST-
-and then PRACTICE THAT, so that's WHO YOU ARE.

When you are actor with other actors around you, they'r responding
to who you are. Because you are emanating who you are,
and it would be illogical to them to not react to who you actually are.

Well, this is how the whole Universe is responding to you!
The Universe is responding to each of you!
You are an actor in a role. And EVERYTHING and EVERYONE else
is responding to that which you are emanating, you see!

So, you just need to decide:
Am I a prosperous person, standing here in this role,
that the Universe is reacting to?
Am I a revered and respected co-worker, in this environment?
Or am I someone that gets beat up, and picked on?

WHO AM I?
Who has life brought me to? Who am I, as I stand in THIS point of attraction?

There is not much power or joy in evaluating the past -
but there is tremendous potential for power and joy
as you are thinking clearly and deliberately attracting, in your Now.

- Abraham

-

In your Now,
you are at a most powerful junction -
where your physical world meets the Non-physical world.

- AH

-


Where you now stand is a result of the thoughts and feelings that you have offered before.

But where you are going is as a result of your perspective of where you now stand.

- Abraham


-


You are living the balance of your thought.
For as you think, you feel, and the combination of your thought and feeling equals your creation.

You are thinking on many levels, and you are thinking about many different facets of your experience, and you are thinking about many different phases of your experience.

In one day, or even in one hour, you may think about many different subjects such as you home, your relationships, your physical body, your financial affairs, the organization of your home or office, the relationships your children are having with one another or with other children, others from your social circles or from your work environment... You think about what you are doing right now; you think about yesterday, or last year, or a relationship of many years ago. You think about what you will do later today or tomorrow, or the direction of your life...

In other words, your thoughts move across broad ranges of subjects and times.

Some of the thoughts are clear and emphatic, while others move softly across your mind, barely noticed.

And in all of that, the balance is what you are living.
For as you stand today, is evidence of the balance of your thought and feeling.

NOTHING IS EVER WRONG!
(It only takes 30 days to come into true, unconditional love)


Well friends, we think you've got it! We think that you now understand, that you are Source Energy in physical bodies, yes?
-Do you get it, that you've come here with purpose to understand that that purpose is expansion joyous expansion?
-Do you understand that you never get it done, and you cannot get it wrong,
-and the reason that you can't get it wrong is, because it's never done!?

So even though it may sound or feel out of balance, and maybe even wrong, that it really isn't wrong.

Because, in the feeling of wrongness, you're giving birth to your opinion of what would be better, and the source within you so trusts your opinion of what would be better for you, that the source within you embraces that idea completely. And becomes a vibrational equivalent to it! And holds steady there, until you find your way there.

We've talked about the fun of croaking- you're still not there, are you?
We've talked about the deliciousness of releasing resistance, through what you call the death experience, and we've talked about releasing resistance through meditation- quieting the mind.
We've talked about releasing resistance through appreciation.

But you have to be somewhere in the vicinity of appreciation, to release resistance! But do you know, with every feeling of relief that you find, as you make your way up the emotional scale- with every feeling of relief there, is the releasing of resistance. And so every effort that you make to release a little resistance is really worth the effort! Because in time, because of the vastness of the variety of your life,

the subjects that are alive and active in your now, are enough for you to release all resistance that you've accumulated over a lifetime!

Do you know that you don't have to go back and make peace with some wrongdoing, that happened 20 years ago or 30 years ago- or yesterday?

You don't have to go back and fix all of those things. Because whatever is active in your vibration now is bringing you current, real life, active, poignant, meaningful-now matches!

You're attracting the vibrational evidence that shows you what you're doing:
Do you know that what you're living, and the way it is playing out, is your vibrational indicator?
Do you know, what's going on in your body is just an indicator of your vibration?
Do you know that what's happening in your life- in terms of relationship, is just a vibrational indicator?
Do you know the money in your bank account is a vibrational indicator?

Everything that is manifested, the car that you're driving, the house that you're living in, the clothes that you're wearing, the condition of your body- everything about your life, is a vibrational indicator.

And those indications of vibration are being shown to you all day, every day. In the form of the emotion that you feel! So, if you leave here with one decision within you, and it goes like this:

"I now understand the importance of recognizing how I feel.
And I do care about feeling as good as I can feel, about that and that and that."


So, somebody you love tells you a lie, and it hits you hard. And you think: "They shouldn't lie to me. They should trust me more! I wish they wouldn't lie." And then you try to wrestle them to the ground, and you try to figure out why they are lying, and you try to figure out where the lies started, and you try to understand the motive of the lie- and all you do is get yourself in a scramble. Because you can't begin to understand it! You couldn't sort it out, if you had a hundred lifetimes to do it. But you can recognize that your attention to this subject is causing you discomfort, right here and now! And you could choose a better feeling thought!

-So you find a thought that goes something like: "I don't understand where they're coming from!" -and that gives you a little relief.
-And then you think of the thoughts such as: "Well, I have told a lie before." And that might make you feel better, too!
-And then you think a thought such as "The only time I've ever lied was, because I didn't think the person would like, what I thought to be the truth. And I wanted them to feel as good as they could feel. So, maybe there is some compassion in lying somewhere?" -and you feel a little better.
-And then you think: "I don't know why I'm making such a big thing about this."
-And then you think "I can't even remember what the subject to hand was!"
-and then you think "I think I've been making a big deal out of nothing."
-and then you think "this is a person who I really love."
-and then you think "it really doesn't matter what they're doing! It really only matters how I feel about them!"
-and then you think "I should not ask them to behave in certain ways in order to love them! Because, I am one who offers unconditional love."

And as you work your way through issue after issue, with person after person, and subject after subject- before you know it, within one or two or three days, certainly four or five- and absolutely within 30!! -you will have had enough real-life experiences show you the vibrational evidence, of what's going on with your vibration: That you can clean it ALL up! Within 30 days, you can have cleaned up enough of your vibration- and

by "cleaning up", all we mean is: Find a better feeling thought!

Find a better feeling thought, find a better feeling thought, find a better feeling thought... that...
Do you know that you are 30 days or less from being a vibrational match to the source, that is really you?
To the reason that you were born, to the coming forth into this physical experience?
To the living the joyous life-experience, that you have come to live?
To the being a vibrational match to what's in your vibrational escrow?
To the getting inside everything, that you've ever asked for?

Do you know how close you are, in terms of time, having everything that life so far has caused you to ask for?

It's such a short distance!
It just requires some caring about how you feel. And a willingness, to move yourself deliberately up the emotional scale, and back into vibrational alignment with who you really are. As you do that every day, you'll see the world a little more through the eyes of source! And as you begin to view your magnificent world through the eyes of source, you will then revel in your beingness, and in that of others, and you will feel pride, and worth, beyond physical description. And you will begin to express to others:

I've come forth with great reason into this physical body and that reason is for joyous expansion and I wish that for all.

What you are living today is as a result of the thoughts and feelings that you have felt before this.

Your future is created from your perspective of today.

- AH

In non-physical we don't even have clocks or calendars.
In other words there is no time in that sense where we are,
and yet it is all Now.

Re: Quotes about The Now - The Present Moment

Leaving inanimate objects (and the past) behind...?
How do objects interact with us?



HS:
I wanted to ask about not just how we vibrate, but is it possible for objects or things to vibrate?

Abe:
Everything, everything does!
In fact, you take a gong or something that you're deliberately making a sound with, it never stops vibrating. Your ability to hear it comes to an end. But the vibration of it never ends! It continues to be a cooperative component throughout the Universe.

HS:
The reason- or, what brought me to that question was, a while back I had an experience where I was getting ready to move up here, about 10 years ago. And as I was packing, I had to reduce the items that I had. Couldn't take everything with me. And I had a yearbook which I almost felt like I needed to keep! Because, it was like you're supposed to keep your yearbook-stuff. I had my other yearbooks for later years, but that particular yearbook didn't mean...

Abe:
We understand. "How are you going to prevent yourself from moving forward, if you don't drag your past around with you?"

HS:
That's kind of what I do. Sometimes without realizing it. What happened is, during that packing, I literally just decided, you know: "I got to go. Just toss it." I was like "I don't need to take it with me, I have the memories and all that other stuff. And when I tossed it into the trash can, my friend who was helping me at the time, her eyes widened and she looked... looked at me, like... we were just kind of moving different objects. And she said "what was that ?" and I felt something, too, and it felt like something went with it. So that's kind of why I was wondering, if... do objects have their own, to some degree, attractive power, if that makes sense? Or they hold a vibration?

Abe:
Yes, they do. But that's not what that was about! Everything is vibrational. And of course, when you think about something, you establish a vibrational relationship with it.

So, others objects, circumstances and events morph to the dominant expectation that you've got going! But what you both sensed fly by, was your decision to move forward, and not drag the past with you! In other words, the book went. And then, everything that that represented... it's like when you re-emerge into non-physical. You leave behind all awarenesses, any habit of thought. Any practiced thought you no longer take with you. A current active vibration of anything, that while you were in your body, felt like doubt or fear or worry or any of that.

And of course, your past is full of wonderful things! But it still will distract you from your now, where all of your power is. And from your vibrational reality, where your true now is!

So, we're glad you have that experience- a visceral sensing. You can't even say "you saw it" as much as you "felt it or you sensed it".

HS:
It was more specifically like the fact, that someone else felt something like that, you know! It was just kind of interesting so that's why I.. I was wondering if you know objects in different places, kind of...

Abe:
Everything does! Everything that's been touched. Everything that's been created. That's why art attracts certain buyers! The feeling of the artist is imbued in it. Everything is vibrational, and those who have focused upon the object imbue the object with their vibrational awareness. Can you feel what a dynamic Universe you live in?

Can you feel what a dynamic WORLD you live in? Let's not get carried away with this. Because you don't want to be running around worrying about what your chair is thinking about you! "I wish you'd get off me!" -nothing like that going on!

HS:
Uh, well yeah... when I went to the my first Abraham Workshop (...) you said whatever's going on in your environment tends to support what's going on in your environment, and then the fire alarm went off. And you talked about how it got your attention. And so I was just wondering if that's why I had the question, is... you know, if objects were sort of holding that vibration and supporting old things, so when I let go of something it was kind of...

Abe:
Well let's move this into a more beneficial Place.
Everything that you've ever lived is part of the reason that you are where you are. The question that we want to speak bluntly to you, is: which awareness do you believe holds more power? -Where you are, or where you were before?

You are where you are. It's like, you were three and you were four and you were six and you were 10 and some of those thoughts are really fun to think about, as you dig out pictures and hear from others about it, but your power isn't there. But part of what you are now is a result of what you were then! But what you are now, that's what is most important. And that's what... that's what! THAT'S what- ooh that's what the non-physical Inner Being You is focused upon!

The Inner Being You is focused with you, in your right now, not looking back AT that stuff, that you're regurgitating from before!

It's sometimes sweet. Sometimes nostalgic. It's got a little mix of stuff in it, but it's not where your power is!!

HS:
Yeah, uh, yeah... I... I just thought, because, uh that was the best objective example of what I think when I interact with different things! Sometimes being aware of how things might vibrate ...so that's well.

Abe:
Why do you CARE?

HS:
I don't know, I feel like you kind of... fine...

Abe:
We're not criticizing you for caring! We're asking you... we know we're fine. We're asking you...

HS:
...that's more my anxiety!

Abe:
We're asking you: Why is it of interest that what you want to call inanimate, which implies is non-vibrational objects, have vibration?

HS:
I... I just realized what it was. It's... it's that I I've often used objects or things as my focus to distract from, like frustrating things. If I'm at work, then you know, I go to this thing that makes me feel better, or you know... things like that. And I realize that might be the basis of the question.

Abe:
That's exactly right. As we move forward, you will all hear more about this.
