The Visionaries Create Employment

Abraham-Hicks, Kansas City, KS G-9/27/98

The visionaries are the reason for the massive employment in your world and the high economy. You don't meet them every day because they're not out there in the trenches. They usually don't have their sleeves rolled up, and they are usually not mixing among the others. They're meeting on islands. They are living the good life. They are connected to Energy Stream. They are visionaries. They are the reason that your technology is where it is. Are they scientists? No. Are they the mathematicians? No. Are they the bricklayers? No. All of those magnificent beings are an important part of the co-creative mix. Every one of them is as important as any other, even as important as the visionary himself. But the visionary is the one who holds the hope or the idea and believes it so much that he holds a guiding light that Law of Attraction can actualize around.

Is it possible to be the visionary and the actionary of your own life? Not only possible, it's the way most of you intended it to be. It's the best of all worlds. What can be more exhilarating than to find a dream from the contrast, to fixate on the dream and let it give you pleasure as it grows, and then to watch Law of Attraction bring it into manifestation while you help with your action? Does it get any better than that? You didn't think so as you made the decision to come forth into these physical bodies. You said, "This is the best time in all eternity for a Creator to Create."

It's Not About Them, It's About You

Abraham-Hicks AB-20 Self Appreciation

If you're not getting along with your mate. You're not getting along with your employer. Your own physical body is sick. You don't have enough money. People are not treating you right. There is not one negative thing that you are experiencing that is happening for any other reason other than you are not appreciating yourself. When you are critical of somebody else it's not about them. It's about you.

When you are condemning the World, whether it is the political world or the religious world or the economic world or the ecological world, when you are looking at the flaws in the world, it is not about the world it is about you!! It is about the way you feel about you. And so we say friends, nothing is more important than that you establish your own relationship with you. It our promise to you that your Inner Being adores you but you close the door when you think thoughts of lack about yourself.

Worry as a Little Bit of the Death of Who You Really Are

Abraham -Tarrytown, NY 10/9/04B

Abraham: You worry so much about death that you can't enjoy your moment because death is lurking, death is lurking, death is lurking. So the older you get, the more depressed you get because the closer to death you get, and we say, you're never close to death! You're always alive, and you're as alive as you allow yourself to be in this moment. And we'd stop pronouncing the moment that you re-emerge into nonphysical as death and start calling it what it really is, which is more life. It's a more revitalized life, you see.

And as you start looking at death as life, then you'll start allowing more life while you're in this physical body, and that which you call death will not be lurking in a way that messes up every moment between now and when the truck runs over you. (Laughter.) You should all be so lucky. (More laughter.) Esther said, "Happy, healthy, happy, healthy, happy, healthy, dead." And we say, but of course. She doesn't have to plan [an] airplane crash or [a] truck running over
them. She can go to bed and re-emerge in her sleep.

IOW, you can pick it any way you want, but the important thing is you've to make death a non-issue and make life the issue. And so, as you're focused in your now, what are you doing now? Are you allowing yourself to live fully or are you worried about something?

So your friend says, "I've got plenty to worry about. I'm justified in worrying." And we say, nobody's justified in worrying. Nobody's justified in worrying. It's just the excuse you're using not to allow yourself to live fully now. There's no justification for worry, because there's nothing worth worrying about, because you're eternal beings and you can't die.

So, now that one's wiped off [your list], what are you going to worry about? "Well, somebody could mistreat me." No, they can't. Nobody can mistreat you if you don't achieve a vibration that attracts it -- so wipe that one off. And little by little, pretty soon you'll scratch all the points of worry and all the points of frustration and all the points of disempowerment off your list and you'll finally be who you are -- free to be the joyous being that you are. Yes.

Everything Is In the Eye of the Beholder

Abraham - Washington, DC 5-10-08

Blogger's note: This began as a story about Jerry getting different diagnoses from different dentists, but quickly segued into something larger.

Abraham: That is a bit of the reason that we say as all things are in the eye of the beholder, in other words, it doesn't mean that those dentists were seeing something they thought needed to be tended to, but anytime, and we mean this in the kindest way - anytime you are co-creating with any other, their intentions become a part of the recipe.

It would be very helpful, that before you co-create with another, that the two of you, however many are playing together, make some effort to acknowledge that your intentions are similar. In other words, the win-win situation where you have a need that a doctor or a dentist can fulfill and they have a need that you as their clientele can fill. It's all part of that. You have something they can fulfill and you have something they can fulfill. It's sort of like when you know more clearly what you do want, you almost always attract that from the people with whom you are interacting.

We would not be concerned about those teeth, that aren't going to be around for long anyway. We would instead ask ourselves, "What was going on in my vibration that evoked that response from that person. Especially when there were no cavities to be found."

"Why would somebody look into my motives and find motives that aren't there? Why would somebody look into my ideas and find things to disagree with that aren't even there? Why would anyone see anything wrong?"

It is because everything is in the eye of the beholder. People see things in you that are not even there because they are looking for things that are active within THEM. And if there's even the slightest thing that resonates with something in them, then it amplifies and magnifies and they see that it is big when it isn't.

We've been talking this all day today. When someone is arguing with you or sees fault in you and they are not liking what they see, say to them and mean it kindly, but mean it sincerely... say, "You're seeing something that must be vibrationally active in you, and I think this is more about you then it is about me." And everytime you say that you will be accurate.

So when you see someone, and they are having a bad day, it is much more about their bad day then about you. Its always about the beholder! Everything is about the beholder!

So what you want to do is be aware of what your seeing in others; that's what you want to be aware of. Don't worry about what people are seeing in you, don't worry about the love they're not giving you, let your awareness be upon what your putting out, let your awareness be more about HOW MUCH YOU ARE LOVING! Thats what you should be interested in.

We wouldn't be running around saying, "Who loves me. Who doesn't love me." We'd be saying "Who do I love. What is it about you that I love. What is it about you that I use as my excuse to see what source sees!"

Abraham on Teeth, Dentists, and Medical Expense

Questioner: I have been in my workshop talking about good health, good teeth, the things in my body I want for six months or longer. And so I recently went to the dentist, and I was schocked to find out that I needed thousands of dollars worth of dental work.

And I immediately had a question in my own mind since I'd been affirming health and healthy teeth, and you've talked about getting off of health insurance and that kind of thing, what is this about? Is this about not being clear enough? Is this also about being worried about money Why would thousands of dollars come up?

So my question is when we think we're going towards something, but then something clearly comes up that shows we're not, how can we make that shift?

Abe: Good. Oh. There are a number of things we want to say to you. First of all.. Most of you think you are doing one thing when you are doing another. That's very common. In other words, someone will say to us, "Abraham I want to be well," but what their vibration is saying is "I don't want to be sick." And so your words trick you sometimes. Because you think you are saying one thing, when the reality is you are vibrating by pushing against another.

So sometimes an experience of manifestation, which actually shows you what you've actually been vibrating, just shines a spotlight on it a little stronger which helps you make a clearer decision you see. Now, 99 percent of all creation is complete before there is any physical evidence of it.

And there are a number of things, you must understand that when you go to a dentist who makes his money by finding things wrong with your teeth, you must understand, he is looking very particularly to find things wrong with your teeth. You see what we are getting at?

And it is our speculation that if you were to spend two or three days thinking about what you want and why you want it and seek out another dentist or two that you would discover that there is a lot of variety in their opinion of what you need. And that the reason you've attracted yourself to one that is saying you need all of this stuff is because first of all you haven't totally convinced yourself that you have the ability to create what you are wanting relative to that, relative to things outside of you more easily, but relative to that there is still a little bit of a question. And the money factor, the money factor is, in other words feeling that there isn't quite enough would put you in a position of attracting a situation where even in more of an exaggerated way there isn't enough.

Questioner: Well, that's the question then, how do you know? Is it a money issue or a tooth issue?

Abe:(emphatically) Doesn't make any difference. It's negative energy flow, and it has brought you to a place you don't want to be. So from your awareness of what you don't want, what is it that you do want?

Two things: I want my teeth to be healthy and I want my physical body to thrive. And I want to feel financially prosperous. In other words, it has caused two issues to come to the surface where if you give some attention to them, you can shift your energy about it.

We wanting to give you something here that is of immense value relative to the physical body. We have been talking about flowing energy. And you all have the idea , and accurately, that we are talking about using your brain, or your conscious thinking mechanism, to choose the object of attention and therefore flow energy toward it. But your brain isn't the only part of your body that is transmitting of receiving. You have millions of cells that are all transmitting and receiving mechanisms. Lots of little brains all through your body.

Now these little brains have been preprogrammed in the same way that from nonphysical your earth was launched into orbit, and today it continues to spin in perfect proximity to other planets. Your cells, in like manner, have been created to perfection in the same way. So these millions of cells in your body know exactly what they need to do in order to maintain the perfect continuity of your body. They talk to each other and they talk to non physical energy. They ask for what they need and nonphysical answers. This is what you call Life force. As the cells ask , non physical answers. As the cells ask, nonphysical answers.

So much so that hundreds and thousands of diseases that have come your way, that if you'd gone to the doctor that day, he might have picked up on, never came to fruition because the cells ask and nonphysical answered. In other words, every disease that exists on your planet you've had it, you've had an inkling of it, or you've had an inclination toward it. But because the cells asked, and nonphysical answered, you stay in perfect balance, mostly.

Now as the cells ask and non physical answers if your thought is one of appreciation, you the captain of your ship, you the imaginer, or the envisioner, or the complainer, you, the captain of your ship, as your thought is one of appreciation, if you are basking, if you are applauding, if your are acknowledging positive aspects, then as the cells ask, and non-physical answers, your vibration is so in harmony with all of that, that there is no resistance, that there is a perfect tranfer of energy, and your physical body thrives.

But if as the cells are asking, and non physical is answering, if you are worried about money, if you are mad at your mate, if you are frustrated with your government, if you are flowing lackful energy, then as the cells ask and non physical answers, you are seding out an electrical current that is in the way. You cause resistance and that's what pain is. It's what negative emotion is first, it's what pain is second, and it's what disease or illness is third.

You see, so, as you acknowledge that you are wanting your teeth to be strong and healthy, you are wanting your gums to be vital and alive, you're wanting your body to feel good. But as you acknowledge specific areas of your body, and you give a little attention, so that you can actually feel the sensation of your cells asking, and non-physical energy answering, sometimes that sensation worries you. Because you think," Oh somethings wrong, a new sensation that i've never had before," and that's when you start getting in the way.

If you could relax into those sensations, even if they have gone so far that you call them pain, if you could relax into them, knowing that the cells know what to do, and non physical energy always answers, and all you have to do is stay out of the way, which means no lack, then your body begins to thrive.

You don't have to focus on sickness to disallow wellness. Because any attention to any lack messes up that interchange. That's why doctors are now admitting, Esther saw it in print the other day, 80 percent of illness are stress related. We say they are getting closer. 100 percent of illnesses are stress related. And instead of stress we would use the word lack. 100 percent of illness is lack related. Good.

Abraham: Of Frenemies, Relationships, and Co-Creation

Abraham - Sacramento CA 7/27/02

Abraham: You don't feel anyway about anyone without them helping you to feel that way. It's really cocreation. We'll even go further and louder and blunter: If there is someone you don't like, they don't like you either. We have never seen it otherwise. We have never seen someone to adore someone that the one they were adoring didn't adore them back.

Now someone is thinking, "Now wait a minute, there was that man I loved with all my heart and he didn't love me back." We say you were offering him insecurity, you were offering him worry, it wasn't that pure vibration of love. When you are tuned in, tapped in, turned on, they can't offer you anything else. The Law of Attraction wouldn't put you together even when you live in the same house. You would rendevoux differently.

Seth: Illness Is A Form Of Avoidance

Seth, The Early Sessions, Book 4, Session 159

A cure of any kind will never depend upon any given treatment. It will in all cases depend upon the belief on the part of the sufferer that he can be cured. It will depend upon his desire to be cured. It will depend upon the strength of the purpose than an illness serves. It will depend upon, in the last analysis, the individual's own ability to mobilize his energies, for only these will effect a cure.

An illness is a failure to solve a mental or psychological problem in the correct manner. The energy that would be used to solve the problem instead is spent maintaining the illness. It is therefore necessary that an attempt be made as soon as possible to solve the problem, which of course must first be discovered by the ego, which has avoided it.

Esther's Recurring Lackful Relationship Dream

Abraham-Hicks, excerpt from G-10/16/93

Esther kept having a recurring dream. For many years after she and her mate were together, she dreamed that she could not find him. She thought she knew where he was but she couldn't find him. She knew the number where he could be reached but when she would dial it, it wouldn't ring. Her fingers would punch right through the phone , the telephone would turn into cheese or something. Or it would ring it would ring and he couldn't hear.

It was just a variety of things keeping them from connecting. And when Esther started to interact with Abraham she said "Abraham is this dream about all that time before I found him? All these years I was looking for him and had not found him?"

And we said No, your dream is current, your dream is about your NOW!! And Esther said "What do you mean?" and we said in your wanting of this delicious relationship - again we keep wanting to come back to every subject being two subjects- in your awareness of what you are wanting, you spend more time thinking about the absence of it.

And when Esther thought about it she realized that was accurate. She worried that he would get run over. She worried that he would stop loving her. She worried that he would find someone he loved more. In other words, even though it was her very passionate, strong, ever present desire that this relationship would last forever, more than 50 percent of her thoughts were upon what would happen if it didn't.

Because she didn't know about flowing energy. In other words, she was still believing that its about fate or chance or luck or circumstances. So she was feeling lucky that she had him, but not sure that she could hold onto him!! You see what we are talking about?

And so when we said to Esther you have been projecting so much lackful thought relative to this relationship Your dream ... your inner being is showing you a probable future where you won't know where he is! A probable future where your negative lackful vibration is going to create something you do NOT want.

So with this story we think you are hearing what we are saying. What you are wanting to do is as we said earlier several times today. You are wanting to think about this relationship that you want and feel good about it at the same time. So that instead of it evoking from you a yearning lonely feeling, you are wanting the thought of it to evoke a feeling of ecstasy , a feeling of empowerment . And when you are able to shift the way you feel about it, it is our promise to you, you will then allow into your experience that which you are wanting.

It isn't WHAT you eat, it's how you feel when you eat it.

Abraham - Boca Raton, FL 10/30/06

Abraham: But what's wrong with the chocolate chip cookies anyway?

Guest: Too many of them tends...

Abraham: But what causes you to call them "too many of them?" You say, "I want to be slender, but I believe the cookie is the opposite of that." So I want this but I am doing that, so how does it really feel when I'm eating the cookie?

Now stay with this, you're really gonna like it.

So if I am reaching for the relief of aligning with my physical intention, then it would feel better for me to let the cookie go as long as I believe the cookie is in opposition to where I want to go. But often that is not the subject on the table. The subject on the table is "I'm frustrated out of my mind about this and this and THIS! Oh, that cookie looks like relief! I'm frightened about this. This cookie looks like relief."

As you begin to reach for relief, there is nothing wrong with reaching for the comfort in food. There's nothing wrong with that, but just don't let that be the only comfort you are reaching for. Reach for the comfort in thought.

Now imagine this really sophisticated chemical factory that has the ability to extract from everything that you give it necessary components. Your body's ability to digest breaks everything down into usable stuff. And the cells of your body then attract to themselves the parts of that usable stuff that they most need. Very raw description, but really an accurate description, too. So your chemical factory has the ability to effectively utilize what you are eating unless you are angry about it, or frightened about it, or guilty about it. If you don't make peace with the way you are eating, you make it harder for your chemical factory to utilize it.

When you love what you are eating...

That's the biggest thing that has gone wrong with diet in your culture today. You used to eat and like your food, and now you've made all food your enemy.

It's a really rare one of you who can eat anything and not find something in it that makes you believe you should not eat it. So it is really odd to find a human eating and taking pleasure from the food. Instead, you've got this love/hate relationship with food. You want it because the cells of your body are asking for it. You were born with this guidance that lets you know it is time to refuel. You have this cellular calling for the food, then you give it the food and before you have even swallowed it, you've set up a vibrational wall of resistance that makes it more difficult for your body to utilize the food.

That's why different people can eat the identical food and get different results from it. If it were as you think it is, by now or long ago, you should have been able to get a formula that works for everyone - This food means THIS and this food means THIS. This combination of food means this. You are leaving out the only factor that matters. And it's the resistance/allowing factor.

It isn't WHAT you eat, it's how you feel when you eat it.

It isn't WHAT you say, it's how you feel when you say it.
It isn't WHAT you do, it's how you feel when you do it.

It's ONLY how you feel.

Abraham on Weight Loss and Body Image

Abraham - Sedona, AZ 08/25/07

Make peace with where you are. Appreciate your magnificent body as it is. Appreciate that it moves and that it is flexible and that it digests, that it assimilates. Accept the cellular metabolism, the cellular functioning.

Your body is a veritable chemical factory. It is an amazing mechanism. It is morphing constantly into that which is new. It is constantly becoming. It will be whatever you ask it to be. It will be whatever you ask it and allow it to be. It will be whatever you want it and allow it to be. It will be whatever you ask and allow it. It will be whatever you see it to be. It will be whatever you EXPECT it to be!

And most of you can't expect past what is. That's your limitation. You find it hard to expect past what is. Stretch that expectation by listening, by feeling for it. And when you start feeling - Oh, if you could feel what Source expects for you - and that's why so often you feels such strong negative emotion, that's that fear and inadequacy you describe. When you look at yourself so differently than they way Source looks at you, when you don't expect good things from you - because Source is expecting such wonderful things from you - there's a cross current going on.

You have to see as you want it to be. Never mind what is. What is does not mean diddly squat. What is doesn't matter. It's just a point in time, a momentary, manifestational indicator of how you've been thinking. Think differently and it will shift. It will morph with your thoughts every single time.

Age is Irrelevant

Abraham - Journal Excerpt 01/01/99

If we were standing in your physical shoes, we would not assign age to anyone. We would never tell anyone how old we are. We would never ask anyone how old they are. We would start a new movement, and the movement would be, "Age is irrelevant."

We would have another category on the driver's license, or on the application, and that would be "vibrational average", or we would have a mood meter: "Which of the following is true: Am I more likely to be joyful or despondent? Am I more likely to be eager or bored...?" We would gauge everything by Energy, and we would never again approach life in terms of age , because age is irrelevant. Age, or what you call age, is only a by-product of your utilization of the Energy Stream.

The Energy Stream exists. There is one Stream, and one Stream only, and your relationship is two-fold: 1. How much of the Stream am I summoning, which means, how much desire do I have? 2. And, of the Stream that I am summoning, how much of it am I allowing to flow? And everything that you live and everything that everybody else lives, everything that exists in this physical time and place, is about somebody's relationship to that Stream. How much are they summoning and how much are they letting flow through?

So you might see someone that is very decrepit who has strong desire. So they are summoning all kinds of Energy, but they've got beliefs that don't let the Energy flow, so they've got this tug of war going on inside of them all the time. They look old and decrepit before their time. In other words, they're summoning, but they're not letting it flow.

Then, you might see somebody else who doesn't have a desire in the world. They are carefree, actually peaceful, contented. They are summoning almost no Energy, whatsoever. They have no resistance. They're just sort of placid and limp. They won't live long, either. Because they're not summoning Energy. They'll have a nice life. When they're gone, you'll put on their tombstone, "Lived a good life. Short but good."

But if you are sifting through the data and constantly finding things that cause you to make a decision, and you can feel that desire boiling in your belly, and you are eagerly thinking about it, and you have discovered how to modulate your Energy so that you are excited as you think about it, not frustrated... If you've played this game and you've learned how to float your cork, you could literally live indefinitely. The question is, how much do you allow this time/space reality to evoke new decision and desire from you? And as the desire comes, how much of it do you then allow to flow through?

Become "UnHurtable"

Abraham - Tarrytown, NY 10/09/2004

When someone adores you, in their appreciation of you, they are in alignment with Source Energy, and they are flooding it all over you. And since it is activated in them, it is activated in you, so you got this really good thing going. But then as you become dependent upon their appreciation of you in order to feel that way, when they withdraw their appreciation of you, and you haven't learned to connect to that Source Energy yourself, then you feel like a puppet that someone has let go of the strings.

And so if you are a confident person, if you've shown yourself that you are free no matter what anyone else thinks, and that you can feel good no matter whats happening around you, if you've been practicing that unconditional love that says 'I'm going to feel good because I wanna feel good', and I'm going to scramble around, by darn, and find something that is going to make me feel good even in a field of things that don't feel good, because my connection to source matters to me more than all other things put together' - then nothing that anybody could ever do would get you off your game.

You've been looking toward what others think - you've been so trained that way that you transfer that to your new love. You say I care so much about how you feel about me, that I will disregard how I FEEL. And then that one being the fickle one, LETS YOU DOWN, EVERY TIME. No one can hold you consistently as their object of their attention as Source would.

Everyone is blaming everyone else for their own insecurity. We have to say YOU ARE insecure because you didn't decide to be secure. You are not strong because YOU decided somebody else was strong, which made you weak. You don't feel good, because you didn't INSIST on feeling good. And then you didn't practice it, and then you say YOU hurt my feelings. We would get in a place where our feelings are UNHURTABLE. We would be in a place where we are so connected to source that it didn't matter WHAT anyone was thinking or saying or doing!
