New Year's Resolutions the Abe Way

Extract from p. 2 of the Abraham-Hicks newsletter Jan/Feb/Mar 1999.

ESTHER: Abraham, How do you feel about New Year's Resolutions? And how would you approach a New Year's Resolution if you were in our physical shoes.

ABRAHAM: They are a wonderful idea. They fall into the same category as Segment Intending or Positive Expectations or Deliberate Creation. Most New Year's Resolutions, like any new decisions, are made from a rather clear awareness of what you do not want or of what has not gone well, and so, in order to set your New Year's Resolutions into motion with enough momentum to keep them going, it is necessary to spend some time lining up your energy with your new decision. Many people make resolutions, and often by the first or second day of the new year they have gone back to their old habits, and then they feel discouraged. Every day provides a wonderful opportunity to set forth your clear intentions. You do not have to wait for a new calendar year.

Find a comfortable place where you will not be interrupted by. Write at the top of your notebook page:

My Dominant Intentions

Then write four sub-headings:

1. My Current Intentions Regarding My Body

2. My Relationships

3. My Home

4. My Work

Then, write a general description of how you want to feel and be, regarding each of the four categories. Be general and easy. Let these words come easily from you.

Now, go back to the first category, focus on the topic, and sit back, relax, and daydream about this. Imagine your body looking just as you would like it to look. See it in your mind's eye. Try to imagine how that beautiful body would feel. Move it, in your imagination. Take it for a walk, dress it in something that pleases you. Appreciate it's stamina and flexibility and clarity. Spend as much time daydreaming about this wonderful physical vehicle as you can. Stay in your vision until you feel refreshed, and continue to be there as long as you can.

Now, go to the second category, and do the same thing. Bring an image of the most significant person in your life experience and see that person with you. Feel appreciation for that person. Mentally speak your appreciation. Imagine that person loving you back. Praising you, and complimenting you. Feel your mutual appreciation and admiration. Stay within the vision until you feel refreshed.

Now, go to the third category, and feel appreciation for your home. Make mental pictures of your home as you want it to be. See it orderly, if you desire that, and beautifully furnished, if you desire that. In an easy and carefree manner, imagine it however you would like it to be. Take pleasure from your vision and stay there until you feel refreshed.

Now, go to the fourth page, and gather a mental picture of your work. Feel appreciation for the excuse it gives you to flow energy toward something. Acknowledge how expansive it is, and feel appreciation for its ever changing nature. See yourself expanding and thriving. Stay there until you are refreshed.

There is no right or wrong way to approach this. The thing that is important is that you choose areas of your life that matter most and that you conjure positive images that thrill you. And as you do that, you have not only resolved, in your own mind, how your New Year will be, but you have notified everyone and everything in the entire Universe and you have solicited their assistance in achieving your intentions. And from that moment forward – the entire Universe will conspire to assist you.

Abraham: Rent's Too Damn High! (Okay, gas.)

Guest: My next question is about the price of gas in the United States. It's at its highest point historically, and I'm wondering what those of us who are Conscious Deliberate Creators and are on the Leading Edge can do to find the positive aspects in that, to feel good about that, to begin to change the vibration around that.

Abraham:  Well, here's what we would like: We would like it to cost ten times what it does, and you not care... because as long as you care what something costs, you’ve got a limitation set on how much money you think will come into you. So you go to the pump, and the cost of gas is high, all that does is cause you to launch a rocket that says, "I'd like more money to pay for this higher price of gas." And Source says, "Alrighty, then." And then all you've got to do is bring yourself into alignment with that, you see?

Our favorite story about that was a woman who was talking about her now-husband who was a former husband of someone else to whom he was paying alimony. And his former wife kept taking him back to Court and demanding more money. And they wanted to know what they could do, how they could shut her down. She was taking too much of the money that they wanted to spend on their now-life that they were living together. 

And we said, "we wish your now-husband had ten ex-wives and we wish that they were all going to court and asking for more money ... because the most they are going to get is 50% usually. And so, if he's got that many people calling that much money through him, his income is increasing dramatically if he'll let it and they're only getting half. 

[Audience laughter.]

Abraham: Anything that causes you to want more, when you come into alignment with it, it's a done deal. So the price of anything doesn't matter because if you want it, Source is arranging a way, right now, for you to have it - you've just got to stop complaining about the price of gas.

So, here's how it happens. You go to the gas pump - this is exactly how it happens: Jerry and Esther filled up the other day and it was $725, and they were going to drive that gas out, that day. So, as you go to the gas pump and you fill up and you feel that discord of the price of this fuel. In that moment, you launch a rocket of desire that says, "More money for fuel," and Source Energy says, "Done. Done." 

Then you say, "This costs too much." So, the money is sitting there, but you don't have access to it. You say, "It's terrible what they are doing." You don't have access to it. You say, "It's highway robbery." You don't have access to it. You say, "The Bush Administration and their oil cronies are doing this deliberately just to put more money in their pocket." You don't have access to it. (You REALLY don't have access to it.) 

You say, "It's nice that this gas is available to me." You start moving in the direction of the improvement in your money for gas. You say, "What I need always come to me." You start moving toward it. You say, "I have enough flexibility in my budget that I can, for now, put a little more of it here." You start moving toward it. You say, "I've never paid too much attention to what things cost, and I'm not going to make this be an exception." You start moving toward it. You say, "What I need always flows." You start moving toward it. 

And with enough deliberate training, you move yourself into alignment with this BIG pile of money that's waiting for you in vibrational escrow for gas or for anything you've launched it over there for. And then, you come and you say, "I'm making $20,000 more than I was last time I talked to you." And we say, "Good, spend some of it on gas."

[Audience laughter and applause.]

Abraham: Whatever you want. Whatever you want is there for you. Whatever you want.

So Esther has no concern about dollars and gas. Sometimes, she goes into pay and comes back and Jerry says, "How much was it?" and Esther said, "I don't know. I didn't notice." She signed the ticket because it doesn't matter. Whatever it costs is what it costs and she was going to get it anyway so what possible difference does it matter? So her answer is usually, "Well, it costs what it costs and it's there on the ticket if you want to see it." In other words, it's irrelevant what it costs, it costs what it costs. 

And then they were at a gas station in San Diego last week and they filled up their tank on their Yukon, or they wanted to, but the pump cut them off at $50 and only gave them half a tank. And Esther said, "Well, we could either go again or we could just leave it at that," and Jerry said, "Let's just leave it at that. We can fill up again later." And when Esther went in to get her receipt she heard the woman who had come in behind her say, "I would like $2 worth on pump 3, please."

And Esther felt that pang because Esther saw that $50 did not give her half a tank and she figures that $2 won't even show on that woman's meter. And so, Esther started moving in the wrong direction on this subject of gas, not on her behalf, but on somebody else's.  Esther is not worried about gas prices for herself, but  she could listen to enough people that she begins worrying about them and then she's not contributing to the improvement either, you see.

And so, we want you to understand because we can feel it rippling even in this room that sometimes people feel as they listen to us, "Well, Abraham, you're just teaching people to be selfish and to not care or worry about what's happening to anyone else." And we say, "We want you to care, but we don't want you to worry." When you care, you launch into Vibrational Escrow on their behalf. When you worry, you do not help them get to what you've launched over there on their behalf. 

So, it's possible...this ties in with your question about 'who am I' and 'why am I here' and 'who are the people gathering here in this Abraham energy'... And we say, You care about other people and you will launch rockets of desires on their behalf, but you can't suffer for them and be catalysts to help them receive improved conditions. 

In other words, you've got to follow the dream of the improved life for them. As Uplifters, you've got to learn to walk your way up the Emotional Scale on behalf of those that you care about because you can't see them as victims and do them any good. And when you see anybody as a victim, you shoot yourself in the foot. 

It's really interesting how powerful you are and how you're all tied in with one another. The thoughts you think about other people not only affect you, but they affect the part of their life experience that rendezvous with you.

Abraham: Living with Negative People Who Want Different Things - Part 2

(Continued from Part 1)



Abraham: What goes wrong with so many is that they say, I demand better circumstances so I can feel better, and we say the Universe does not hear your demand, the Universe only hears your vibration.

So you say, "what does that mean?" We say it means you've got to achieve a vibration that aligns with better circumstances before they can be received by you. Oh, that's different, isn't it? I have to feel good about what I haven't got, before I get it? Yeah. I have to feel prosperous before prosperity can come to me? I have to feel healthy before health can be mine? I have to feel loved before someone can love me?

You mean, I can't be paranoid and people flock to me and say, "Oh, you poor, paranoid thing. Let me just shower you with my love until you get over your paranoia." (Audience laughter.) You ever had a paranoid friend? They're hard to love, aren't they?  They offer a vibration that defies your love. You can't do enough. Their vibration is so far in a different place, you cannot do enough to make them feel it. It's an inside job every single time, you see.

So that's why, as we come back around to your first and very powerful question, some of those people that you long to help, are not help-able from where you stand. And if you believe that you are the savior that came to help them all, then that means you've got to be able to adjust your vibration right up to the edge of where they are in order to lead them to the next place. And we don't know very many who can effectively adjust their vibration without becoming part of the vibration they have adjusted to.

And yet, if you're up here enjoying happiness and health and well-being and they're down there in despair and poverty and destructive pattern, there's a big vibrational range, and there have been so many who have wanted so much to help them that couldn't figure out how to bridge that gap, and it's because you are asking the impossible: you ask yourself to quantum leap to where they are, which you can't do.

(A) lot of you do it over a period of time though - started out in a very joyful place and through the years, you adjusted yourself to be as miserable with the most miserable of them. And then you join together in groups, and you say, with great piety and great virtue, "We are the chosen ones. We have suffered ourselves into the place God wants us to be."

And we say if that were true, you'd be feeling pretty good right now. When you're in alignment with that which is Source, you feel the radiance of that which is Source flowing through you.

Guest: I think I heard you say one time that one of the ways that Jesus healed was by not joining in the vibration of the illness.

Abraham: Wouldn't have been possible for him to heal if he joined in the vibration of sickness. He maintained his knowledge of Well-Being, you see. And with practice, you all can, too. With practice, in the time that you're not with the cantankerous one, as you practice the memory of what felt good or as you look for the positive aspects, and you activate within yourself, again and again and again and again, good feeling things about anyone or anything...

Now, that Universe or that person has to show you (It is law.) has to show you more of what you've activated within you. So if somebody is showing you their ornery side on a pretty regular basis, you got their ornery side activated in you. And you say, "Well sure I do, they show me their ornery side all the time. How could it not be activated within me?"  
And we say: Oh you poor, powerless being. Are you saying to us that you only have the ability to observe What Is? Are you not a Deliberate Creator? Can you not adjust your own vibration? When you turn on the radio in a hotel room, do you just leave it on that station, whoever was there last set the station? You say, "It's been chosen. It's just the way that it is." Or do you take your life in your own hands and adjust the vibrational frequency until it pleases you? This is the same thing, you see.

Guest: Thank you.

Abraham: Yes, indeed.

Abraham: Living with Negative People Who Want Different Things Part 1

Part 1



Guest: I was also wondering, if what I want and what you want are in conflict, what's going on? If I want rain and you just cut your alfalfa, how does that work?

Abraham: Well, how it works is if either one of us don't get too involved in the details of how we think we want what we want to play out then both of us can be satisfied. If you will focus on the essence of what you want, which is a magnificent crop, and the other will focus on the essence of what they want, which is a lovely picnic today or whatever, the Universe can give them both, or all, what they want, but it’s when you start bickering over the same prize, or over the same specific moment in time... the Universe has the facility to orchestrate circumstances and events to accommodate everyone: there could be two of you wanting seemingly different things, or five billion of you seemingly wanting different things.... and any of you that are not using what the other one wants that you don’t want as your excuse to push against and then disallow yourself from getting what you want, then you could all get what you want.

If you push against the other because you are worried they’ll get it and you won’t, now your out of sync with what you want and you won’t get it no matter what happens to them and usually you blame them, becuz you think it’s them wanting what they wanted and getting it that kept you from getting what you want, but it’s never that way. 

Guest: It's the same when you live with a person who is really negative, and you're trying to stay positive, but they're like a relative that you have to deal with every day...

Abraham: We know, because it feels like if they would change you would feel better because you remember being around more pleasant people and feeling more pleasant and so it seems logical that if they would be more pleasant... but feel the trap in that, the trap in that says now my happiness depends on your behavior, and I can't control your behavior, you're just one person, I've spent 30 years trying to control your behavior and I'm still not getting there. I'm powerless, I guess, I'm powerless to be happy because my happiness depends on your behavior, and you're stubborn, and you won't change, so I have no power.

But when you discover that you have the power to ignore them, you have the power to find the positive aspects in them, you have the power to focus upon the parts of them that you adore, you have the power to focus on other things… Do you know the majority of people that we hear struggling over something like living with someone who is negative... the majority of their conflict and discord happens when they’re not even with that person?  They're just remembering what happened yesterday, and what happened the day before, and they're worried what's going to happen when they get home. They have ample opportunity to focus on other things, but they don't do it because they've trained themselves into their vibrational habits by being sloppy in their thinking and just vibrating in response to what they're observing.

So, the way you train yourself back into alignment - did you hear us when we said that your singular work is to bring you into alignment with You? It's not to bring you into alignment with the ornery bugger you're living with. It's not to bring you into alignment with the Republicans that you disagree with or the Democrats that you disagree with. In other words, if you think that you've got to get alignment like that, can you imagine how long you're going to have to wait? Do you see how unlikely that is, you see? 

But when you really get it that your happiness depends only on your alignment, and so you just play with different subjects, and you play with different sentences, and you play with different thoughts and you feel yourself into alignment which means you feel for the soothing relief of releasing resistance... Now you discover that you could live anywhere, with anyone and you could find vibrational alignment with Well Being and in the moment that you do that, the Universe has to give you still better circumstances.

What goes wrong with so many is that they say, I demand better circumstances so I can feel better, and we say the Universe does not hear your demand, the Universe only hears your vibration.

Abraham: Corporations with Toxic Work Environments

Abraham: Feel Good Now, It's Important!

Abraham: You're right. You should feel bad. But feeling bad only makes tomorrow worse. You've got to feel good now!

© Abraham-Hicks Publications

Abe: What is Nervousness?

Male Guest: I want you to explain nervousness and how that falls into our relationship to getting things that we want, and why it's there in the first place.

Abraham: Well, nervousness is a manifestation, an indicator, manifestations...because emotions are manifestations, aren't they? It's a manifestation of wanting something that you're not quite vibrationally up to speed with.

Guest: Right.

Abraham: And therefore. IOW, you demonstrated it really well because we were very specific about you, and you just kept turning around and looking behind you. IOW, you were not expectant, not really expectant of something that you want. There are a lot of people really expectant of what they want, so much so that they head this way when we're not even pointing at them. Sometimes we're pointing over there and someone comes from over there because they are so wanting and expecting, and so, we have a question or two for you. How do you think your beliefs or expectations have come to be what they are?

Guest: Trial and error.

Abraham: Good words. There never is any error, but we know what you mean...Trying.. so trial and error.

Guest: Being in the experience, going for it.

Abraham: And what kind of an experience has trained you to not expect what you want?

Guest: Not...?

Abraham: IOW, our we in agreement that nervousness is an active vibration that is to the contrary of something wanted. So what do you think has trained you into a habit of thought, which is just a belief is just a thought you keep thinking, what do you think has trained you into that?

Guest: Well, the interesting thing is I'd be there and I'd set my intention, and I'd visualize what I'd want, and I'd be ready to go for it and allow it, but once I'm in the situation, the nerves comes in for a reason I'm trying to figure out on my own.

Abraham: Well, you just demonstrated that, and that's a wonderful thing, but we want you to try to hear the question that we're asking. What kinds of things cause you to perpetuate a vibration or a belief that prevents you from getting you what you want, now now now now now.

Guest: I'm assuming focusing on the false belief, right?

Abraham: Yeah, but what do you think, this is really good, what do you think, we're just going to enjoy it ourselves, what do you think, what do you think is causing it to be active right now? IOW, you were in a situation where we looked around the room and found you. We wanted you. You wanted to be here and we wanted you. And yet even with us pointing right at you, you couldn't perceive it in that way because there is a belief system within you that is contrary to that, but there was no reason, there was no, here it is, there was no reason for that belief system here and now because something entirely different was happening. 

You wanted to be here. We wanted you to be here. There was no reason for you, in this moment, there was no reason for you to be getting anything other than that except that you've got a habit of vibration that bled into this moment; it bled into this moment and covered up the reality of this moment. 

Guest: Okay.

Abraham: Because your desire was so strong that we found you, and even though we could feel the vibrational variance within you, we knew that we could get you here, and we knew we would have a meaningful conversation; iow, we weren't worried about any of that, but are you getting how good this is?

Iow, so we want to say it again, it is so important:There are many moments in time when you are ready for what you want, you are ready for what's in your vortex, except that in the moment that it begins to flow towards you, you instead let an old vibrational pattern become dominant. Now how would you go about keeping an old vibrational pattern from being dominant now?

Guest: I would love to know that.

Abe: By deliberately practicing new vibrational patterns and then watching the outcome of it until you show yourself that you have vibrational control. By understanding it first of all. By accepting that the Law of Attraction is a powerful law and that it is responding to the way you feel. But there's something we still haven't quite formulated here in the way that it is possible, so let's stay with this because you're not alone in this. Everyone is experiencing this. Because the Big Question is, and it is such a big question:

How do I, in my powerful now, where all my power is, where the junction between me and Me meets, where I have the potential of preparing my vibrational grid to allow myself to be ready for what's in my vortex to flow like water flows downstream into  my experience right now: What is preventing that from happening? 

Old beliefs... Old beliefs that I thought yesterday, old beliefs that I thought last year? Old beliefs that I thought five years ago? No, a belief that is active now. Because you don't store these beliefs up, you gather the propensity for them; IOW, it's more likely for you to do that now because you did it yesterday and the day before and the day before and the day before....it's likely that you will do it. But it's not because you did it that it's happening, it's because you're doing it that its happening. And you have the power to do something different right now. Did you get that? And you have the ability to see it differently if you'll try just a little bit.

An experience like this, you'll never forget this, an experience like this, you've attracted an experience like this where now your belief has shifted. IOW, there are many times you're nearly where you want to be, not quite,  so you nearly have the experience that you want, not quite, but that's why we so much want you to hear us when we say. There are two ways to know whether you're in alignment with what you want and Who You Are or not: One is by the way you feel, and the next it by what happens. So what has this experience demonstrated for you?

Guest: I appreciate this experience because it's helping me shift my beliefs.

Abraham: But what did this experience demonstrate for you? What is the experience? Hundreds of people in the room, you're in the hot seat, what did this experience demonstrate for you?

Guest: Um...

Abraham: I must have been in the vibrational vicinity or I wouldn't be in the hot seat right now. I must have been in the vibrational vicinity. Good for me. Must have been in the vibrational vicinity. So what are the components for being in the vibrational vicinity? How did you prepare yourself for this experience of being in the hot seat?

Guest: Uh, I did my hair. I...

[Audience: Hoots and hollers.]

Abraham: Best. Answer. Ever. You expected be here. IOW, there was more expectation to be in the hot seat than expectation not to be.

Guest: Yes, because I've acquired a lot of grateful knowledge from you, but being here, I get to personally ask you, and it's much more in detail, and it's personal.

Abraham: So I thought about it. I wanted it. I liked the idea of it. I got pretty sure of it. I felt good about it. And in the quiet of my own experience, there wasn't that much to challenge it. So imagined it, I visualized it, I visualized it enough that I wanted to present myself in the way I wanted to... that's all that it is you see. That's what prepaving is.

And the more that you prepave what you want, the less active those old hindering beliefs will be.That's what we're reaching for here. The more you prepave what you want, the more the balance tips, and the hindering beliefs just begin to peter away.

Guest: Personally, I feel the allowing factor the hardest part of the whole process.

Abraham: Well let's talk about what allowing is. Allowing is just a deliberate choosing of a vibration that allows it. We've been calling this the Art of Allowing for quite a long time. And now in the context of this vibrational grid that we are wanting you to focus upon, we'll give a new definition of what allowing is. Allowing of what, first of all?

Allowing my frequency to be in keeping with what's in the vortex in order to allow what's in the vortex to flow to me. Allowing. And so, allowing is about focus. Allowing is about thinking and feeling, thinking and feeling. So, I don't just stumble upon allowing, I practice myself into allowing, that's why we call it an Art not an accident. The accident of allowing. You have those all the time, btw, because there is something that you're observing, but the Art of Allowing, the Art of feeling myself into the frequency of that which I really am, in order to create some outcome? No, in order to feel the deliciousness of allowing my frequency to meet the level of that which I really am, to feel the fullness of Who I Am, the clarity of Who I Am, the fun of Who I Am, the beauty, the brilliance, the stability, the vitality, the On-ness, the Oneness, the Wholeness, the Fullness.

Guest: Right.

Abraham: Good Hair.

Abraham: An Appropriate Amount of Grief?

Abraham, Kansas City, KS  09/14/05

Abraham: How do you use your imagination?

Guest: I can't imagine not feeling grief if somebody that I love dies. And yet, you seem to be saying, "just get over it."  Is there an appropriate amount of grief? It's gotta be natural. If my dog died, I would just be floored.

Abraham: The perfect amount of grief is none, but you see...

Guest: How do you do that? You have your beloved dog there, and then he's not there and the relationship is different.

Abraham: We're going to go back and address that specifically, but before we do, we want to catch you in the trap that we've laid for you.

Guest: Okay. I'm willing.

Abraham: You're saying grief just seems inevitable under certain circumstances, and we say we know that there are things that are going to happen that are going to make you feel that way, but the emotion, the visceral feeling, that feeling in your body of grief, or fear, or despair, no matter what word you assign to it,  in every single case, it is because of your perception that something bad has happened to which you are having this awful emotional response and over which you have no control.

And we're just wanting to point out to you that while it is absolutely normal to have kneejerk responses to things that are happening, because of course you want that person, or that animal, to be in your experience longer,  you do have the ability to focus your way out of that grief.

We would not to say to anyone that you should not be sad when your mother dies, or when your father dies,  but we do want to say that the reason that you are sad is you've focused yourself in a way that is causing that sadness and you could just as easily focus yourself in a way that isn't so sad.

We watch people around funerals sometimes focusing in a way that brings them to their knees and makes them wail, and sometimes they focus in a way where the whole room laughs where they feel joy even though the circumstances have not changed. And it is that awareness that you can focus yourself...because you see the fear itself, or the negative emotion itself, the reason it feels so awful is, without exception, because of your perception of loss of control. Think about that.

How to Use Your Imagination

Abraham, Orlando, FL  12/15/01

Abraham: How do you use your imagination?

Well, first of all, you put you in the picture and then you live as you would like to live from an inside feeling place. You feel how your body feels; that's a good place to start. Now this is your call, you are the architect, you are the creator, so you can be as vital and alive and youthful and flexible and good feeling and slender and eager and happy as you want to be. And so, stand in your body, and put yourself anywhere that pleases you, on the golf course, in a swimming pool, on an airplane, in your motor coach. Put yourself in any environment and feel how good your body feels.

Since it is a virtual reality, make the temperature exactly as you want it to be; make your clothing exactly appropriate to that and breath in the deliciousness of the air that it there. Make the sky blue, put clouds in it if you want, make it sunrise, make it sunset, make it the middle of the day. You get to do whatever you're wanting to do.

Be there by yourself, or bring your favorite person in. Take a look at your favorite person. Give that person the mood you would like that person to have. Make that person playful, make that person beautiful, make that person happy. Make that person in perfect vibrational harmony with you and together go someplace you know the two of you would adore being. Have a conversation with that person; say what you would say under those conditions: bask, applaud, praise, appreciate, approve, listen, receive compliments, blush with them, return them, adore, be adored, move your body, see delightful things, have stimulation relative to the conversation, relative to anything that you care about.

Get on a subject that is really important to you. Solve problems. Find solutions. Sit with your president. Talk to anyone on the planet that you would like to talk to. Bring them in, give them the mood, give them the attitude, give them ability to hear you, you get the sense of this.

Some say, "Too much work."

We say, "Its your life."

You are walking into the future of whatever you do with your mind. So where is your mind? Is it perusing the puzzles and problems of the past? Is it perusing the problems of the world? Is it looking for reasons to feel good? Is it looking for reasons to feel bad? In other words, you get to focus wherever you want to focus.

Abraham: We'll talk to you in January of 2013 (audience laughter and applause). It is astonishing to us how many people are willing to let the shortsightedness of others control their life. 

Guest: If that is true, then I'm excited. 

Abraham: Ah, you see...we can hardly, we can hardly, we can hardly, we can hardly (audience laugher) find enough words to express the power with which this time-space-reality is expanding. This is not a shrinking Universe. This is not a shrinking world; this is an expanding world.

If you had any way of understanding, and you do through the power of your emotion. If you could feel what Source energy is driving as a result of the contrast that you are living. And what you all are putting into your vibrational escrow. Do you understand that? So, Source energy expresses a part of itself in you. You are like pioneers out here knowing what you don't want and knowing what you do want.

And so, with every picture you watch about global warming, you ask for an improvement in your environment with every thought about things not going well you ask for improvement. And as billions of you are doing that...can you imagine the vibrational escrow that is being amassed as a result of the experiences that you are living and have been living? 

And do you understand that it is from that vibrational stance that new energies are coming forth? So, you don't need to worry about all of these naysayers. We want you to understand, you have this wonderful thing going for you here out on this leading edge of creation on planet earth, and that is the dilution ratio. And by that we mean the old, disconnected ones are croaking right and left. (audience laughter) And in doing so, they are re-emerging back into pure positive energy where they are getting full view of things, where they're not pinched off anymore.

And new, fresh ones are being born all day, every day...who are being born from this vantage point of this furthest most leading edge. Do you understand that it is vibrationally impossible for those kinds of predictions to be true? They defy everything. There is no regression. There is only expansion. This planet is not coming to an end. It is barely beginning. Barely beginning. (enthusiastic audience applause)

You knew that so powerfully when you came forth. You didn't say, I'll go forth and I'll just dribble along until the end. You said, I'll go forth and I'll let this dynamic environment out there on the leading edge of thought inspire me, unique genius creator that I am, to a new impulse for desire. And I know when that rocket of desire shoots out of me, all that creates worlds will flow forth through me, toward it. And there will be a place marker held for me and for all others. And all we have to do is listen to the call of Source and come toward it. 

And in your despair, you pinch yourself off from that. And in your despair, you shout to the rafters your shortsightedness of well-being. And we say, of course you can't see well-being when you are in despair. You have yourself blinded to it and pinched off from it. You've got yourself blocked from the view of it. You must be in your joy and in your appreciation and in your passion and in your eagerness to know the expansiveness of this Universe. 

Don't let shortsighted others discourage you. Their discouragement is about their relationship with their vibrational stream. It's about the gap between who they really are and who they are letting themselves be. We promise you it has nothing to do with the longevity of this planet. Good.

Abraham: The Energy of this Time and Place is Strong

Abraham-Hicks Daily Planning Calendar Page 669

Abraham: It has never been more important for those upon planet Earth to understand the creative process, for never before has the creative energy been so powerful.

Never before have your thoughts translated into actual physical manifestation so rapidly. Never before has there been so much potential for the glorious exaltation that comes with receiving that which is wanted--and never before has there been the potential for so much painful experience from setting into motion that which is not wanted.

This time, is a glorious time. A time of great wanting. A time of much more allowing and a time of much more receiving. And with all of that, a time of contentment, satisfaction, peace, joy, exhilaration and, indeed, ecstasy.

But each of you chooses the degree of satisfaction, contentment, peace, love, joy, or ecstasy that you will experience for there is a broad range of that which may be experienced, and all of it hinges upon your willingness to make decisions about what you want, and your belief, or knowing, that that which you think IS.

Abraham on Anger: Fighting to Breathe

Abraham - Buffalo, NY 5/24/05 

There are so many people who feel such despair because they've been taught by powerful people around them that they should not get angry. And you know what? If somebody pressed a pillow to your face, you would fight for the oxygen that you want to survive. And anger, is fighting for the vibration that you need to survive, you see.

Abraham on the Relationship We All Want

Abraham - San Diego 2/7/04B

Abraham: Do you know the relationship that you are all looking for? Do you know what it really is?

You want the relationship between you and You. And when you meet a person who looks fondly at you, or who is appreciative of you, or someone you look fondly upon, or someone you appreciate, it just hooks you up to your Inner Being, which is what you want all along.

So the relationship you are all looking for is the relationship between you and you. And everything else is just helpful in that, really. Don’t you find that interesting? That what you really want is a reason to vibrationally connect with who you really are.

And so, you ask so much of people because you say to them, “You need to be the one who causes me to feel good.” And what we want to say to all of you is if any of you are without the relationship of your dreams right now, that’s a wonderful thing because now you have an opportunity to work on the relationship that really matters first and foremost. And then, in that connection, the relationship of your dreams will come. But you are going to discover the relationship of your dreams is really your own Inner Being. It’s that infusion of clarity and confidence and wellness, that’s what you are reaching for.

And it is nice to have a human friend who holds you as their object of attention and adores you right into your connection, but we want you experience greater independence than that. We want you to say to you lovers, “I love you, but I don’t live for you because Source Energy flows through me. You are a catalyst to my wellbeing, but you are not essential to my wellbeing because I’ve got that figured out on my own. I have reached for thoughts that give me relief. And I have relieved myself all the way into my full connection of who I really am. And now we can just dance and play together.”

Can you feel how you take them off the hook? In other words, do you know how many men would flock to you…? (ALL OF THEM!) …if they knew that you would allow them to be as they are and you would not hold them responsible for your happiness?

That’s what everyone wants. How much bondage is there in believing that your happiness depends on me, so I’ve got to figure out what you want, and stand on my head in all those different ways, and it’s not even possible!

The greatest gift you can give anyone is to be happy. And we will take that further. The greatest gift you can give to any partner, past, present or future is to be so connected with who you truly are that they are irrelevant to your connection. And when they are irrelevant to your connection, then you are going to have a really good time together.

More Abraham on Personal Safety

Abraham, Atlanta, 9/19/99

If you don't know that what you think and feel and what you get is always a vibrational match -- then every time somebody dies in an airplane, or every time somebody gets cancer and dies, you feel more vulnerable, because you don't understand the relationship between your vibration and what has happened.

As you feel vulnerable, then you gather in societal experiences where you try to gather together in groups in order to provide some sort of haven of safety. Because, after all, you believe there is great strength in numbers. You still see it, in your physical format, as "us against someone else." When in truth, there is no one against anyone....

Anything that Happens To You Is In Direct Response To Your Vibrational Offering.

You all have access to the Energy Stream. And anything that happens to you, no matter who you are or what you believe -- anything that happens to you has happened in direct response to whatever your vibrational offering is.

If you're There, you can put this crap down.

Abraham, 2007 Alaskan Cruise

Guest: I have cognitive dissonance between my world of business, which I can play in and have fun, and the world you share of, the spiritual side. I, I found, you know, I wanted to sort of run away from it so I said, Let's go on cruise, it just happened to be an Abraham cruise, my wife was thrilled. And, I find that the business side is so easy and fun. And the spiritual side is a lot of work, for me.

Abraham: Well if your business side is easy and fun then you've got the spiritual thing down, and don't worry about it. [applause]

Guest: I'm there!

Abraham: Because there is not something that you're supposed to do. And there is not some vocabulary that we want you to learn. In other words, if you say, I have found something and when I focus upon it it thrills me and calls me forward, then we say, you have intuitively listened to your Guidance and you're right on track. And these words are superfluous.

Guest: I'm there .... I'm there!

Abraham: Yes, indeed. [big applause]

Abraham: Now he's going to the Lido bar. No point in listening to anymore of this crap ... We mean that in the nicest way. (Big Laughter from Group).
