Abraham on (Sexual) Choices, Morality, and Greater Perspective

Abraham-Hicks,  02-07-98

Abraham: Is one desire better than another?
No.

Who gets to choose?
You do.

Can you make one choice now and another choice later?
Absolutely.

Is it likely that your choices will continue to change and evolve?
Yes.

Is there somebody watching you and keeping score of what you choose? 
No.

Will there be punishment if you accidentally make the wrong choice? 
No.

In other words, the punishment -- there is not anything offered like that -- but the suffering that you see as punishment is nothing greater than the negative emotion that you feel in any moment as you're disallowing your true self to flow through you. That's as bad as it gets. That guilt or anger or blame or frustration or depression that you feel because you're choosing thoughts that aren't in vibrational harmony with who you are? That's as bad as it gets.

So is there a great law that says monogamy is more spiritual than having many sexual partners? 
No. There is no such law.

Are there people who would be more joyful in monogamy? 
Absolutely.

Are there people who would be more joyful eating frog legs? 
Absolutely.

Who gets to choose? 
You do.

How do you know if you're making the right choice? 
You can feel it.

Will your choices evolve? 
Absolutely.

Can you make wrong choices? 
No.

Will other people agree? 
Never.

Are you going to be able to stand on your head in enough different ways to please them? 
No.

Any one of them? 
No.

Is that your job? 
No.

Then what is your job? 
To feel good.

What does that mean? 
Seek harmony with Who You Are.

Does that mean that the God Within Me wants me to have lots of sexual partners? 
No.

That means that the god within you wants you to find harmony between your desire and your belief. In other words, that energy wants you to create a clear path for it to flow. And you can't do that by saying, "That's wrong," because every time you see something is wrong you stop the flow.

Does that mean you have to embrace all things? 
No. 


It just means you must stop pushing against those things that you don't want to include because every time you push against them, you don't stop them, you include them, and now you're out of sync again and you say "it's your fault, you evil perpetrators of sin and violence and crime. If you would stop being so bad, I'd feel better." And we say that's true, but that's never going to happen. You must allow them to be that which they are while you selectively sift that which lines up your energy. And when you're in alignment with your source, all things are possible.

The Value of Not Taking Sides

Abraham-G-Series  9-27-92

Abraham: You said you still cannot see someone hurting someone and feel good about it. Now we are wanting to give you something which will broaden your awareness here, when you see someone hurting someone your tendency all of your tendency is to right away take sides. In other words the one that is being hurt you feel one way about,while the one who is hurting the other one you feel quite a different way about, and yet the one who is hurting the other, is hurting too.  In other words, whenever you see doing something like that what you must acknowledge is that this is a disconnected person that you are seeing. And a disconnected person is a person who is in pain.

In other words, whether you call it anger or fear or guilt or loneliness or frustration, that disconnectedness when it is that strong is a very strong discomfort. And so as we acknowledge something like that happening, we acknowledge that that the perpetrator of the crime so to speak is disconnected and we acknowledge him as wanting to be connected. In other words his overt behaviour is an attempt to try to bring some balance into his experience, he is just going about in a way that will not help.

Now let us tell you why what we do can be of value, while what most of you do is not so much of value. As we see the author of the pain who is in pain as a disconnected being and then we give our full attention to who he really is and what he really wants, that's the way we stay in a Pure Positive Place. Because we don't address the lack of the situation and because we don't address the lack of the situation, we don't become those who perpetuate more of it. Where you, and it is very natural very common thing, but as you see him as doing something wrong and therefore you are pushing against him - then you get disconnected by your attention to it - you have no pure positive energy that you can offer to it and you become part of the stream of consciousness that keeps purporting and adding too more of that sort of disconnected behaviour.
