I always loved the "individual ingredients you put in your vortex" vs "the full Vortexy cake made from these ingredients that you can't even imagine!" metaphor from Abe
oh yes... they describe it in such yummie ways!
What is "right" and what is "wrong"? From what I understand - good-feeling or bad-feeling manifestations - according to Source, it's all "right". ("You can't get it wrong! You can't get off your path")
exactly, that's the way I understand it, too.
It's just us humans who prefer to feel good, which inserts the right/ wrong aspect to the story, where "right" means to do things that lead to us feeling good.
...Now you shift topics, because "feeling not good" is something different than "doing it wrong". One is guidance, the other is judgement.
When we feel good, it is guidance that we move in- or towards Alignment with who we really are and what we really want. That's a good and wanted thing and source wants that for us. But it isn't wrong to chose what feels bad, because in doing so, we just get clearer about what we don't want, which adds more momentum to what we do want. So, EVERYTHING (as you say) adds to what is wanted, always. And so, everything is always "right". The concept of "wrong" doesn't make sense in sources world.
So the COPD forced you to experience the slower, lazier life you feared so much - and show you it was not the end of the world. It allowed you to accept, embrace and find the good in that which you previously feared. It allowed some resistance to lift on this subject.
Exactly! Thank you for putting such beautiful words to it, I feel so understood!
And: It literally opened up a world where I was free to discover life without "need to", "must" or "should". I suddenly was allowed to use my time in ways I never dared to, before! And it made me realize how much I had caved myself in, before. How harsh I had been to myself. How rigid. And how wonderful it was, to help MYSELF unfold and spread my wings and research what *I* was passionate about! It opened me up to SO much self-love.
To me, devleoping a health condition is a sign of not listening to the small subtle warning signs of unaligned thoughts / not soothing them when they are small, so the signs get much larger, forcing us to see them and address them.
Absolutely agreed! When we don't care for the subtle signs,
"Don't worry, it will bigger" (Abe). The signs will get so loud and big, until we are able to hear and finally -hopefully- UNDERSTAND them, and start turning around and allowing the cells what they ask for.
"All disease is, is just very loud negative emotion" (Abe)
Love and Joy rank SO much higher than "doing things right"!
By my personal very human viewpoint of right and wrong, "doing things right" IS being aligned with love and joy
that's true! But you get what I mean, yes?
I meant, that LIVING love and joy are so much better than clubbing yourself over the head when you missed "doing it right"- aka, jusging yourself (or others).
It would have saved some suffering perhaps - but all that matters is where you are now
True, but I -normally- like to know how I could get it easier and more effective, next time... (which maybe is a dead-end, but still...)
Fact is, imo, there is a difference between understanding the theory, and LIVING it practically. It's not enough to understand things in our head. We must train them, physically, and while we do that, all kinds of fears might pop us and scare us, and then we need to soothe that, and maybe we need some time off the subject... and on and on it goes. There are hundreds of layers, sometimes. And they all want to be embraced with love.
Which is a LOT of love to give to yourself (and others), again and again and again, and that can take LOTS of time, until the wounds really are healed....
Which makes for an awesome life. But it doesn't jive with the theory of "Understanding it- applying it in the right ways- getting the desired results- DONE."
Not having our desires yet must mean we have some resistance in place, right?
That- or not yet having enough momentum. Both is possible.
And the only way to our desires I think is
a.) Learning to soothe resistances (which requires awareness, and conscious work) - or
b.) Trusting we will find a different path of least resistance to our goals, moving around the obstacles of our resistances.
c.) Strengthening our beliefs to what's possible for us
Is that how you see it too?
I agree with this 3 points, and I add EVERYTHING that is simply joyful, interesting or in any way feeling good, to us. Because when you strengthen your joyful vibes (in any way yo feel drawn to- going to the beach, reading, baking, petting the cat, digging deep into your passions...) you make being ITV more the norm, for you. You "train yourself into high flying vibrations", as Abe say, which is also the receptive mode- where you are clear to hear the joyful impulses and get the joyful inspirations, and where your joyful momentum becomes higher and faster and more and more solid. And this fast, bold momentum will then be capable to override resistances. You literally become "invincible". It really feels that way, in this stance! And that makes for all sorts of "miracles".
absolutely! The only reason to look to others who are doing better than us I think, is for inspiration of what can be. And remain very conscious to not beat ourselves up about not being there yet. It's part of unconditionally loving ourselves.
That's a
very wise approach!
And, while I totally agree with you, I have learned to forgive myself that I am human and sometimes, I look at others to see if I am still inside the flock/the pack/the community that soothes me to be a part of. We humans are gregarious animals, and that's ok to a certain point! ...Until it's no longer helpful, but becomes detrimental. But for deciphering this, we have our emotional guidance!
I think as we live our lives new desires are born, so new resistances are born. I don't think a human exists who gets to a stage of total zero resistant thoughts or beliefs.
Agreed! Exactly.
But we can come to a point, where life doesn't cause new desires, anymore. We are then "satiated". Or - in a negative way, we don't allow ourselves no more desires because we fear the pain of them probably not coming into fulfillment. And- in both cases, that's when life draws back and we transition. Where life goes on- with MUCH less resistance...
I love that you find the good in the situation. I do have a question about finding the good in manifestations that may initially be unwanted:
To understand it from the Abe teachings' perspective:
say someone manifested something unwanted, like I dont know - growing a third eye in the middle of their forehead
- if they were completely non-resistant to it; learned to see the good in it; would that make it impossible for it to go away?
According to Abe, nothing is ever "done". It all is changing, and it is changing all the time (but maybe we don't notice because it "changes" to more of the same.)
So as soon we don't like something, or we like something else BETTER, the new born preference goes as a "rocket of desire"
into our Vortex. So, there is NO CHANCE that you are ever stuck with a 3. eye in your forehead that you like less than just having 2 eyes... no matter how much you appreciate it's good sides! To the contrary. The less you push against the not really wanted, the EASIER it shifts. Because you don't cling to it by shouting "no" at it!
The less resistant you are, the more joyful, loving and accepting you are, the easier you move towards what you REALLY want.
But that might be things that you had completely forgotten.
And it might be things that your friends don't understand.
Or it might be stuff that you had no idea they would be the REAL desires... as it was for me, when I dreamed of "Paradise on Earth".
I thought, to live my Paradise, I would need to look stunning (in a way that society accepts as "stunning"!!) be free of wrinkles and any "over-weight" (who gets to decide what that is?). I would drive Super-cars and of course would be completely healthy, all the time and never have a mundane problem.
Now, while I don't exactly push against any of this former goals, I learned that *I* get to decide what "stunning" means, and I realize that diseases are NOT "the devil" but sometimes your very best friend allowing you a shortcut, and I know (after having driven several of them) that Supercars are fun but in most cases not really practical... I celebrate my many "mundane problems" as a source of great amusement in most cases, most of the time... and I REALLY like my wrinkles. I would be annoyed to not express my age and all the knowing, wisdom and depth that comes with it.
And... I wouldn't know what to do with the young boys that are attracted to young chicks!.
I want REAL MEN!
Before this journey, I had no idea that I REALLY wanted fun. Silly, non-sense, happy hilarious FUN. Instead, I aimed for glamour and getting revered...
I had no idea how much I wanted to be an unconditional lover- of others and myself. Instead, I had aimed for doing things "right" (I couldn't care less about that, today!)
I had no idea how much I would care in "Paradise", for gentle friendliness and truly understanding others and myself. Then, I valued fierce fights, that seemed fearless to me (and of course, I looked for finally losing my fears). Now I KNOW, that with true LOVING, all fears vanish. They just dissolve.
Because they've learned to love it? So why would it go away?
...Because there are things in your Vortex that you love even MORE!
The content in our Vortex is what Abe call "our destiny". It is what source "literally BECAME" (Abe). So, source know EXACTLY what we prefer.
There is a difference between "being a lover" (which, according to Abe we all truly are when we are not resistant) and having "preferences" and "desires".
