Seth on What To Do When Told You Have a Short Time to Live

NOPR, The Nature of Personal Reality, Session 646

Seth: No man or woman consciously knows for sure which day will be the last for him or her in this particular life, that each calls the present one. Mortality with its birth and death is the framework in which the soul, for now, is expressed in flesh.

Birth and death, then, have their function, intensifying and focusing your attention. Life seems more dear in your terms, corporeal terms, because of the existence of death. It seems obvious, but the full enjoyment of life would be impossible in the FRAMEWORK, NOW, of earthly reality without the knowledge of death.

You have been given an opportunity to study life and to experience it more fully than you ever have before in this existence. Its intensity and brilliance, its contrasts and similarities, its joys and its sorrows, are here for you to perceive, whose eyes are opened by the fact of the doctor’s pronouncement.

Now I tell you: That intensification, appreciated and understood, and the experience of life and living, accepted unconditionally, can bring you in this lifetime another birth in which the doctor's pronouncements are meaningless. Spiritually the death sentence given you is another chance at life, if you are freely able to accept life with all of its conditions and to feel its full dimensions, for that alone will rejuvenate your spiritual and physical self.

Abraham on Traumatic Injuries

Jerry: What is the role of thought in traumatic injuries? Abraham, are traumatic injuries created in the same way that diseases are created? And can they be resolved through thought? In other words, like a breakage of something that happened in a momentary incident as opposed to a long series of thoughts leading up to it.

Abraham: Whether the trauma to your body seemed to come suddenly as a result of an accident or whether it came from a disease such as cancer, you've created the situation through your thought and the healing will come through your thought as well. Chronic thoughts of ease promote wellness while chronic stressful or resentful or hateful or fearful thoughts promote disease. But whether the result shows up suddenly as in falling and breaking your bones, or more slowly as in cancer, whatever you are living always matches the balance of your thoughts. 

Once you've experienced the diminishment of well being, whether it has come from broken bones or internal diseases, it is not likely that you will suddenly find good feeling thoughts that match those of your Inner Being. In other words, if before your accident or disease you were not choosing thoughts that aligned with well being, it's not likely that now that you are faced with discomfort or pain or a frightening diagnosis, you will suddenly find that alignment. 

It is much easier to achieve great health from moderate health than to achieve great health from poor health. However you can get to wherever you want to be from wherever you are, if you are able to distract your attention from the unwanted aspects of your life and focus on the aspects that are more pleasing. It really is only a matter of focus.

Sometimes a frightening diagnosis or a traumatic injury is a powerful catalyst in getting you to focus your attention more deliberately on things that do feel good. In fact, some of our best students of Deliberate Creation are those who have been given a frightening diagnosis where doctors have told them that there is nothing more that can be done for them, who now, since they have no other options, deliberately begin to focus their thoughts. 

It is interesting that so many people will not do what really works until all other options have been exhausted, but we do understand that you've acclimated to your action-oriented world and so action does seem to most of you to be the best first option. We're not guiding you away from action, but instead, encouraging you to find better feeling thoughts first and then follow with the action that you feel inspired to.

Anita Moorjani's NDE clears Grade 4B Lymphoma Cancer

Blogger's Note: Found this originally through the Martin Brofman Body Mirror board. I'm not sure it counts as an NDE because from what Anita says in the above vid she saw a probability in a deep coma in which she clinically died, but was not actually declared clinically dead. Her medical record will apparently be included in her book due in 2012. In any case, it's a pretty remarkable story of a complete turnaround from terminal, end-stage cancer.

Update: Anita's book is now out! It's called "Dying to Be Me" and is available here.

Why Abraham Is Unbeatable No Matter How Intense the 'Opponent'

Abraham - Tarrytown, NY  3/30/06

Guest: So, illness, uh...I've chosen that illness? I should...I chose my...

Abraham: No... here's the thing. No one would ever deliberately choose it. First, let's talk about what illness is. Illness is me in my physical body having created a faster a current than me with my thoughts and beliefs will let myself go with. That's the best definition of illness that we could ever give and so you say, but what about babies? We say it's no different.  The stream is going faster than my thoughts are letting myself go with, period.

A woman said, I'm pretty positive, and I'm really sick. My friend is negative and she's not sick. It's not fair. And we said her stream isn't moving as fast as yours is so she can mess around more, and it doesn't take the toll on her. In other words, if your stream is barely moving, you can mess around without any negative repercussions.

Jerry and Esther spend one whole summer putting a rubber raft in the Bitter Root River in Montana and just floated. It was so slow and easy. They laid in the boat; sometimes they took a little nap; they watched the clouds go by. They weren't doing that on the river in Colorado. Different kind of river you see. When your life has caused you to create a fast moving river, now you gotta be pointed in the right direction in the river or it will beat you up.

Guest: Yeah, cause I was pointed in the absolute wrong direction when it hit me.

Abraham: We don't call it wrong direction we call it opposite of the self-created flow. And this is so easy for us to explain because we know how the flow got there. We know the Well-Being in the Flow. We know the Eternal Legacy of the Flow.

And so you just can't not let yourself stay up to speed with Who You Have Become. And you can - you all can - can you not feel the intensity of him? And so when you are so clearly focused, and you are opinionated, which is a wonderful thing, and you are willing to get out there in the world and dive in to issues, the more you do it the more you say, I want it this way and this way and this way and this way and the more you get your stream going.

But we really want to emphasize it's your stream. You're not creating the world's stream. You're creating your stream. And as you get your stream really moving then it really behooves you to go in the direction of your stream. And when you don't, you'll get sick.

Guest: You know it'd be great if you were like a 200 lb man that I could wrestle the crap out of. You know, just to play around, just ...that's great, you know. Like two wolves, you know,  just wrestling. Not Esther, Abraham, you know. (Audience Laughter)

Abraham: In time you will come to appreciate the power of thought over any possible physical prowess.

Guest: Laughs. [Audience applause.]

Abraham: And the thing that is so interesting with people who want to wrestle with us, is that what they forget every time is that you've never ever had anybody in all of your life more on your side than we are. So it's such an interesting thing as we wrestle towards the same end of your success because you can't beat us.

Guest: Oh, I don't want to beat you. I just want to tumble with ya...

Abraham: What we're getting at is that we're unbeatable because we're not in competition. In other words, you can't beat us because your win is Ours. Oh, that's so good. That's really worth thinking about because that means that when... as we play together, you can't help but give birth to greater clarity, and then we turn our undivided attention towards that which you have become, and then we radiate it so powerfully and call you toward it, you see. Oh, it's great fun.

Guest: Spiritual Orgy.

Abraham: It's great fun for non-physical beings to play with intense humans. It's the best of all worlds. In other words, take that airplane, put it high in the sky, and move it at an incredible rate of speed, and go with the flow of it, nothing is more exhilarating than that. Put it on the ground, not so fun.

Guest: Right. Right.

Abraham: Good.

Guest: [Simultaneously] Good. Nice to meet you.

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.

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.

Doctors and Beliefs about Health and Illness

Abraham - Atlanta, GA 11/03/01

Guest: I'm a physician, and I'm amazed at what is possible. And what I've observed is, those who have spontaneous healing are absolutely convinced that it will take place. Their consciousness, if you like, is convinced that they will be whole, or they are whole. Would you say that's so, or how would you?

Abraham: When someone is sick, out of that sickness comes an exaggerated desire to be whole, or to be well. And so, even if they're not speaking it with their words, it is an implied desire that emanates from them -- literally from every cell in their body. And in the moment that that is so, Source Energy goes to work on answering that. And so, the only question, relative to how long will it take them to return to their wellness, is -- how long will it take them to stop the resistance that is keeping the wellness away to begin with? And so, if they are convinced in their ability to be well -- then they are well very quickly.

When a person is really convinced of their ability to be whole, most of the time they don't get sick, to begin with -- because that belief in wholeness keeps them in the place of allowing Well-being on a pretty steady basis.

You are multifaceted Beings and different things can get your attention. And it is not hard to get out of balance, just like it is not difficult to get back into balance. And so, as they find themselves out of balance, there is just a stronger part of them that is seeking that balance.

As a physician, or as any healer, we would say to you, in a powerful way, that your value to them is in providing for them a further measure of believing in their Well-being. They come to you in an exaggerated desire to be well, and you are able to speak from your belief in wellness. And that's not hard to do if you will look at worldwide statistics. But this sometimes happens to physicians: their world becomes so much about sick people, that they forget that there are many more well moments than there are sick moments. And when a physician takes that turn, where he begins to believe more in sickness than he does in wellness -- then he is of no value to those who come to him for the discovery of Well-being.

Guest: That resonates very loudly. Thank you so much.

Abraham: Yes indeed, yes indeed.

Should He Submit to Diagnostic Medical Tests? Part 2

Abraham - Los Angeles, CA 08/04/2001

(Continued from Part 1.)

Abraham: So then, all that other stuff that people are all worried about becomes inconsequential. The only question is, "Does it lock me on or does it lock me off?" Period.

It's well intentioned. They have a business. They want to be of value to you. They've been taught by the society at large that the society at large does not understand their ability to be well, otherwise everybody would be. And that there are people that are wanting wellness and don't know how to get there.

It's all co-creation. The doctor would not exist if it were not for the people who do not believe in their own ability to be well.

The range of thought is the range of thought that you hold. And you do not have access to those bright happy fluffy thoughts over there when you are messing around in resistant thoughts that are depressing or angry in nature. So the best you can do is just reach for the least angry thought that you can find. But you're not going to find a joyful thought in your range. Law of Attraction says that it is not possible. So you reach for the best feeling thought that you can find, and it's not that much better than the worst feeling thought, in reality -- but there is a distinction between the worst thought and a better feeling thought. So as you find a better feeling thought and you deliberately focus upon it (or even put your brain on pause for a moment while your vibration catches up with the higher vibration) that better feeling thought will then be the mid-range thought, and the terrible thought, now, is slightly out of range, and a little bit better feeling thought is in range. So now you reach for the best feeling thought, and even though it's not all that great, it does feel better than that one over there -- so you hold it for as little as 17 seconds -- and now it becomes the mid-range vibration. Which means, that really uncomfortable thought is gone altogether -- and a much better feeling thought is coming into view.

Can you see how the exact opposite of that happens when you're looking for trouble: You're a little unhappy; you've been locked off; you've got something that's bothering you; you're not allowing your Well-being. So, you don't feel as peppy as you usually do, or your joints are hurting, or something. And so, you begin thinking about it, you begin talking about it, and then somebody says you might go have that checked. Can you see how you're reaching for a less good thought and a less good thought, and a less good thought? And then they say, let's take some tests. So, which way is that going? How many days for the results of the test to come back, and what's the condition of your mind during that time? More locked on, or more locked off?

It's really easy to see how, little by little, you teach each other, how to lock off your signal. You're looking at the statistics of the world of people whose vibrational patterns you know not, looking at the results of their vibrational patterns as manifestations, and then you're saying, "That could happen to me!" And we say, that is the symptom of being locked off. If you're not locked off, it could not happen to you. And you say, "Well, I worry about it." And we say, locked off. And you say, "And I know people that that's happened to." And we say, locked off. And you say, "Well, bad things do happen; there is a boogey man out there." And we say, locked off, locked off, locked off. You say, like Esther said, "But it's true!" as if speaking something that is true gives you a little latitude in your vibration. Finally you come to this place where you say, "True or not, other people experiencing it or not -- all of what everybody is living, and what everybody has always lived, has always been a combination of their locked on moments and their locked off moments."

And every single time, if you're up close to somebody and you get to examine the content of their day in terms of their mood or attitude, you never, ever, under those conditions question what they're living. Because what they're living is so evident in what they're letting in or what they're not letting in.

The more joyful you are, the more you thrive. It is just that simple. So we wouldn't spend too much time trying to scrutinize any particular sticking point. Get off of it. Go into a clear space, connect with Source Energy, and then if you want to revisit it from a better feeling place, that's fine. But we would not go looking for trouble at the doctor's office.

Should He Submit to Diagnostic Medical Tests? Part 1

Abraham - Los Angeles, CA 08/04/2001

Guest: I have a homeopathically oriented doctor who's aware of Energy; he's a good doctor. Recently I went to a routine checkup, and he said, "You know, you're looking good, but we had a mutual friend who had created cancer for himself. Why don't we do some blood tests on you?" And I said, okay.

Abraham: "Let's not assume Well-being, let's look for trouble."

Guest: Right. And so, I said, "Okay, is there anything up?" He said, "No, you're getting to the age where it'd be good to have blood tests and check these things out." And I was going, "Okay."

Abraham: Because, "That is the purpose of my existence, you see." (And we do not mean this unkindly, we are certain that this is a very well meaning person.) "I have spent many years putting myself in the place where this is the way I interface with you. And while it seems that everything is perfect with you, shouldn't we probe a little deeper in order to satisfy my reason for existence?"

If a doctor gives you a test when you're locked off, the results will be very different than the test he gives you when you're locked on. You take the test and you call it reality. And we say it was a snapshot of a moment in time, and it doesn't have anything to do with anything except where you were in that moment. Except, once you get the test, you focus upon it more. As you focus upon it more, it holds you in that vibration longer. As it holds you in that vibration longer -- you disallow the Well-being longer. As you disallow the Well-being longer, then there is another test. In other words, we would not take the first test.

Guest: Well, that's my point. I haven't decided to do it.

Abraham: Well, here's the criteria. "Do I take this test from a locked on or locked off position?"

Guest: Why do I need to take it? If I know that the way I need to show up in life is be as locked on as I can -- choose the thought that feels better -- why do I need to take it, in the first place?

Abraham: Because his vibration might be more dominant in the moment. He might have more Energy revved up around necessity of tests...?

Guest: No, I'm fine with telling him no.

Abraham: So then, let's put this in a very clear place: Does the idea of the test lock me on or lock me off? There's a question about this?

Guest: The idea seems neutral. I think that most everything is going to be fine, but I was thinking, Well, if a result came back and said "Oh, your cholesterol's too high," or "Oh, we need to check this out." I'm pretty good at being aware of where I'm putting my attention. But still, suddenly my attention may go somewhere where it hasn't been. So, am I fooling myself by not wanting to go there?

Abraham: You've invested so much in this, you might as well have taken the test. And we want these to be quicker decisions. We don't want you to struggle, because the test, in and of itself, is a non-issue. The tests, or even what they might produce, in terms of results, are non-issues. Even if the tests said, you've got 14 things that people die from, it's a non-issue. Because all that is, is a registering of whether you're locked on or locked off, in the moment.

If you have some negative emotion and you don't realize what it means -- so you don't reach for a thought that feels better and allow the Energy to flow -- don't worry about it, the negative emotion's going to get bigger. And if you still don't recognize it, it will get bigger. Until eventually there is something tangible, something measurable, that is still only an indication of being locked off your signal.

It wouldn't matter to us; it wouldn't matter to you, either, if you'd come back and said, "I went to the most renowned doctor tester of physical bodies in the world and he's giving me these horrible, horrible, horrible results," we would say, "Well, what's that got to do with anything?" You say, "Well Abraham, don't you understand, according to these tests I'm really, really, really, sick." And we say, "No. According to these tests you're really, really, really, locked off your signal. Choose another thought, and get locked back on -- and all of that will go away." You say, "Oh, but I don't think I want to get locked on. I think I would rather study the results of these tests for a really long time, and continue to use them as my excuse..." You're getting the sense of what we are talking about?

The health test, the snapshot in time, does not matter -- because in the next moment you can lock back onto your signal and allow the Well-being to flood back into your experience. Where you are is only the platform from which you desire and then allow. And that's why you can never get it wrong, because in the next moment you have a different desire, a more emphatic desire, a more specifically focused desire, which you have the ability to allow. You just have to get it that you have the ability to allow -- and that allowing always feels good.

Can She Grow Another Set of Teeth?

Abraham - Phoenix, AZ 03/21/99

Guest: Abraham. I've had a lot of problems with my teeth and about 15 years ago I decided I was going to grow a third set of teeth. So I informed my dentist of this, and he said to make sure to let him know when this happened. But that was about 15 years ago, and I haven't even created a little nub yet.

Abraham: Well, how often are you taking score about this? Do you look every day?

Guest: Yeah. I look in the mirror for that little tooth, and I notice that it's not there.

Abraham: It is fun to listen to you offer that desire into a sea of doubt. You couldn't launch that rocket of desire an inch in an environment of human realists who, like your dentist, mock you as they say, "Well, let me know how that one turns out." But, we say to you, if you have the ability to desire it, you have the ability to achieve it -- provided you align your Energy with your desire. All things are possible.

Sometimes people want to prove others wrong. Well, you're dead in the water, right now, when you begin that, because now you're pushing against those doubting Thomases, which means, you are now part of that doubting vibration.

You have to let your desire build up -- and then you have to find vibrational harmony with that desire. And for those who have done that, before, all kinds of things have been invented to satisfy those desires that are an easier way of going about it. There are all kinds of teeth. You can buy them off the rack these days.

Guest: Mmm, no, no, no, I've got to grow them. When you buy them off the rack, they're not very comfortable, from what I've heard.

Abraham: When you say, "I want this because I don't want this," you can't get there from there. So talk to us about what you want and why you want it.

Guest: Well, all this dental work that I've had done has been painful...

Abraham: Now, you're still talking about what you don't want. Talk to us about what you do want and why you want it. Talk to us in more detail about the teeth, and why you want them.

Guest: I want great teeth that look good, so that I don't feel self-conscious.

Abraham: Now, you're still talking about what you don't want. You cannot get to where you want to be from the vibration of what you do not want. Law of Attraction says, you must find the Feeling Tone of what you do want. And that's the reason that you're not getting a little nub. And that's the reason that most people don't -- because most of you are so aware of where you are.

If you could go into a sort of dreaming attitude every day for 10 or 15 minutes...and if people say to you, where are you going? You're saying, "I'm going to eat lunch with my new teeth." Don't tell it to anybody who isn't ready to understand, but this is the thing that we would say. "I'm going to eat lunch with my new teeth." And then, just go into your dream state, and close your eyes, and get into your place of meditation, and feel your delicious, powerful, beautiful, strong resilient, teeth. Feel the Energy pulsing through your gums. Feel them, and then eat an apple with them. And then eat something really gooey, eat a caramel with them, and then eat, eat, eat ...

Feel the fun of your teeth, your teeth that are so strong and in your mouth. And then smile in your imaginary mirror, and feel gratitude and appreciation for your teeth. And then go on with the rest of your day. But every day go and enjoy your new teeth. Find the feeling place of your perfect teeth. As that becomes the familiar vibration -- the cells of your body have the regenerating quality to produce the outcome that you are fantasizing.

Imagine Your Body's Perfection

Any condition in your body, if you have the ability to imagine the perfection (that some disease has now highlighted) if you can get into that place -- the Universe has to deliver it to you. It is Law. Ask, and it is given. The question is, "Am I letting it in in this moment?" You've been asking, but you've been taking score.

If I want something that isn't coming, it only means one thing. I'm a match to my old belief and not a match to my new desire. If I'm a match to my desire -- it's happening.

If you will say, "I'm going to have fun in this vision. I'm going to have fun in this dream. I'm there already. I'm there vibrationally, and if I'm there vibrationally, I have to be there in terms of manifestation," it must be.

The manifestation always follows the alignment of the Energy -- it always does.

Where Did This Earth Come From?

How do you think you all got here? How do you think your bodies are formed? How do you think this podium is created? How do you think the earth exists? What did it come from? Is it an illusion? It's not an illusion, it's a reality! A reality that exists because lots of thinkers, somewhere, sat and thought about "new teeth". Someone envisioned. Before there was matter that is tangible and discernible by your physical sensors, there was a thinker, in this case many thinkers, that envisioned and imagined and knew and found it familiar -- before the manifestation occurred.

You, out here on the leading edge of thought, continuing the experience of your physical life, are not different from the Non-physical creators that set your earth into motion to begin with. You, at another level of your being, are that creator. And here you are in this body, continuing that process. You are creators, you see? You have access to the Energy that creates worlds! We think you can create some teeth.

If All is Curable, Why is there Death?

Abraham, San Francisco, CA 2/24/2007-B

Guest: I have three questions.

Abraham: We have one answer.

Guest: I'm wondering if nothing is incurable, why is death inevitable.

Abraham: Oh, that was such a loaded question because what your question seems to mean is that there is life and then there is the long, sickly slide into death. As if the only reason anyone would ever die is because they have an illness. IOW, it's hard for you to conceive that anyone would want to die.

And we say you understand that you want to be born into this physical body, why is it hard to conceive that you would want to reemerge into pure nonphysical energy? The death experience, energetically speaking, is as exhilarating as the birth experience since there is no death. We like to call it croaking. We like to be as disrespectful as we can because there is no such thing as death. Did you feel the depth of the resistance in the human perspective relative to that though?

Guest: Yes, I think so. I'm trying to assimilate what you're saying.

Abraham: So ask the question again.

Guest: So death, "croaking", let's call it "croaking", okay, croaking seems to be an inevitable experience.

Abraham: But hear it from our POV. Life is inevitable. A changing of perspectives is inevitable. Eternalness is inevitable. That's like saying...how would like it if you say: I was born into this physical life experience, and I went to a movie one day. And now I have to watch the same movie over and over and over and over and over. Every time I try to get out of theatre they say No, it's not your time yet; go back.

IOW, this is just one of the aspects of Who You Are. You never intended to stand in one place.

Guest: Okay

Abraham: You begin to develop this resistance to, and it is odd, because it is inevitable, you don't know anyone that doesn't experience it, and yet you dread it. And a question like this further enhances the dread, doesn't it?

Guest: Well, I'm not sure, exactly, really. I'm trying to reconcile, if there's nothing that's incurable...

Abraham: IOW, if disease doesn't take you out, would anybody die. Let's take away train wrecks, car wrecks, trucks running over you. And disease...and there's leprosy...

We love this question because what you're helping us amplify is that there are many people who make their death experience in the same way that you make your next choice in life experience. IOW, sometimes you've lived enough live and you've put enough into vibrational escrow that the death experience is the call of Source.

IOW, when this time space reality is no longer serving you in the powerful way you've intended, you often opt for reemergence into nonphysical and a fresh start again. Humans don't like the thought of that because they say oh the last start was pretty rough going and I just got it squared away and now I have to start all over? I have to be a teenager again?

But, we lovingly want to say to you that that is a question that would ever only be spoken from human perspective and from a disconnected human perspective as well.

Guest: Okay. Thank you. My next question: we can decide how we're going to die and when we're going to die?

Abe: You are the creator of your experience and in that sense, without exception, every death is suicide because nothing happens to any of you that is outside of what's going on in your vibration.

Guest: Whether we're conscious of it or not.

Abraham: A lot of creating by default going on by a lot of people because you're offering vibrations all over the place not tending to them because you've forgotten that it matters how you feel. It's a very common thing. People will say, "I must speak the truth. I must face reality." And we say why keep active in your vibration something that you don't want. "Because it's true."

We say but surely there are things that are true that cause alignment with source. IOW, just because it's true, it doesn't deserve your attention. Pick the things that are true that feel good when you focus on them and let that be the vibrational base of your life experience. Good.

Abe on Aging, Arthritis, and Alzheimer's

Abraham from "Money and the Law of Attraction", p. 132

Jerry: Can the gnarled joints caused by arthritis or the memory loss caused by Alzheimer's be resolved? Is it possible to recover from those types of illnesses at whatever age?

Abraham: The conditions of you physical body truly are vibrational indicators of the balance of your thoughts - and so when you change your thoughts, the indicators must change, also. The only reason that some diseases seem stubborn and unchangeable is because your thoughts are often stubborn and unchanging.

Most people learn their patterns of counterproductive thought often based on "truths" they have witnessed or learned from other, and as they hold stubbornly to those patterns of thought (which do not serve them), they then experience the results of those thoughts. And then an uncomfortable cycle occurs where they think about unwanted things (valid, true unwanted things) and, in doing so, by the Law of Attraction, they prevent wanted things from coming into their experience and allow unwanted things to come instead - then they focus even more upon those unwanted things, causing more unwanted things to come.

You can accomplish change in every experience, but you have to begin to see your world differently. You have to tell the story the way you want it to be rather than like it is. When you choose the direction of your thoughts and conversations by the way they feel as you think them or speak them, then you begin to deliberately offer vibrations. You are Vibrational Beings, whether you know it or not, and the Law of Attraction is eternally responding to the vibrations you are offering.

Does Better Nutrition or More Exercise Add to our Health?

Abraham from "Money and the Law of Attraction", p. 133

Jerry: Does better nutrition or more exercise add to our health?

Abraham: You may have noticed that there are those who are very deliberate about food and exericse whose physical well-being is obvious. And there are those who seem to be offering tremendous effort regarding food and exercise who struggle for years to gain benefit and still have no success in maintaining their physical well-being. What you do in terms of action is far less important than the thoughts you think, the way you feel, your vibrational balance, or the story you tell.

When you take the time to find vibrational balance, the physical effort you apply will yield you wonderful results, but if you do not tend to your vibrational balance first, there is not eough action in the world to compensate for that misaligned Energy. From your place of alignment, you will feel inspired to the beneficial behavior, just as from your place of misalignment, you are inspired to the detrimental behavior.

Jerry: I remember hearng a line from Sir Winston Churchill. (He was the British leader during World War II.) He said, "I never run if I can walk, and I never walk if I can stand, or stand if I can sit, or sit if I can lie down," and he always smoked a big cigar. He lived to be 90 years of age and, as far as I know, was in good health. But his lifestyle was clearly not what we consider today to be healthy, so was it just a belief factor then?

Abraham: Leaving at such an early age? (Fun) The reason that so many are confused about the correct behavior for healthy living is because they are only factoring in behavior and they are leaving out the part of the equation that is most responsible for every outcome: the way you think, the emotions you feel, and the story you tell.

Abe on How to Live a Long, Heathy Life

Abraham-Hicks, Ask and It is Given, p. 289-291

You can live comfortably, joyfully, resiliently, and healthfully as long you have desire that summons life through you. People do not die because they pass through time. They die because they do not allow this arena to stimulate decisions. The only reason people ever die is either because they have stopped making decisions about being here, or they have made decisions about being Non-Physical...

... You could be the one who opened your vortex to continually find new things to want, and those desires would continue to summon the Life force through you. In other words you are living raucously; you are living joyously; you are living rambunctiously, and you are living passionately... and then, from that same framework, you make a conscious decision to make your transition.

The best reason to make your transition into the Non-physical is not because the physical is miserable. It is because you have a sense of completion in physical - and you are looking for another vantage point. Death is a withdrawal of Consciousness; it is like taking attention from here and putting it there.

Every death is brought about by the culmination of the vibration of the being. There is not an exception to that. No one, beast or human, makes their transition into the Non-physical without it being the vibrational consensus that is within them, so every death is a suicide because every death is self-imposed.

[snip]

Here is a rule of thumb that will help you: if you believe that something is good, and you do it benefits you. If you believe that something is bad, and you do it, it is very detrimental experience. There is nothing that you can do that is worse for yourself than to do something that you believe is inappropriate , so get clear and happy about whichever choice you make because it is your contradiction that causes the majority of the contracition in vibration.

[snip]

Make a decision about what you want, focus your attention there, and find the feeling-place of it -- and you are there instantly. There is no reason for you to suffer or struggles your way to or through anything.

Abe: All Lack is Degrees of Resistance

Abraham, Philadelphia, PA 10/13/04

If you have physical discomfort in your body it is a result of longstanding resistance which means something has been bothering you a long long time and usually what it boils down to is someone or something has made me, consistently for a pretty good period of time, feel like I don’t have the freedom to be or do or have what I want to do.

And sometimes you can assign it to someone else. Sometimes you can assign it to your own insecurity. Sometimes it’s because there has been or is a dominant person in your experience that always wants to tell you where you are going to go have dinner. And sometimes it’s your own feeling of insecurity that makes you acquiesce to others, but it’s a perception of loss of power or freedom usually.

 [snip]

If you have got a little resistance going on in your vibration, it’s going to show up like emotion. And if you don’t do anything about soothing your thought then it’s going to show up as sensation. And if you don’t do anything about soothing it, then it’s going to show up like stiffness or soreness. And if you don’t do anything about soothing it, now it’s going to show up as stronger diagnosis.

In other words, these are all degrees of resistance. We think it’s very nice to have a real manifested evidence of vibration, because as you determine to take emotional journeys, not only are you going to feel better, but the sensation will feel better too.

Now we want to say something powerful to you here. Earlier we said to our friend. “Can you have sore hips, which is the action journey, and hopefulness at the same time. So if you can separate those two experiences: there is the way my body feels and there’s the way I feel about the way my body feels. And if you will determine that you are going to feel optimistic about the way your body feels now the other part of it must turn around.

Seth: The Choice of Life and Death is Always Yours

Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality, SESSION 646, MARCH 7, 1973, 10:28 P.M. WEDNESDAY

Rob: (Just yesterday Jane received a letter from a woman who described the onset, a few years ago, of extraordinary feelings of transcendent love for mankind. Her profound emotions still continued, although she had them under control. She had told no one about them, though, and wanted to know if we could ask Seth about their meaning. In addition, she had recently received a medical verdict about the certainty of her death within a year or two.)

Seth: Now. A note to the woman whose letter you have there.

Give us a moment. . .

No man or woman consciously knows for sure which day will be the last for him or her in this particular life, that each calls the present one. Mortality with its birth and death is the framework in which the soul, for now, is expressed in flesh. Birth and death contain between them the earthly experience that you perceive as happening within a given period of time, through various seasons, and involving unique perceptions within areas of space-encountered with other human beings, all to one extent or another sharing with you events caused by the intersection of the self and time and space.

Birth and death then have their function, intensifying and focusing your attention. Life seems more dear in your terms, corporeal terms, because of the existence of death. It seems, perhaps, easier to have no conscious idea of the year or time that death might occur. Unconsciously of course each man and woman knows, and yet hides the knowledge.

The knowledge is usually hidden for many reasons, but the fact of death, personal death, is never forgotten. It seems obvious, but the full enjoyment of life would be impossible in the framework, now, of earthly reality without the knowledge of death.

You have been given an opportunity to study life and to experience it more fully than you ever have before in this existence. Its intensity and brilliance, its contrasts and similarities, its joys and its sorrows, are here for you to perceive, whose eyes are opened by the fact of the doctor’s pronouncement.

Now I tell you: That intensification, appreciated and understood, and the experience of life and living, accepted unconditionally, can bring you in this lifetime another birth in which the doctor’s pronouncements are meaningless. Spiritually the death sentence given you is another chance at life, if you are freely able to accept life with all of its conditions and to feel its full dimensions, for that alone will rejuvenate your spiritual and physical self.

The experience that you wrote of was significant on several levels, and of course was meant to reassure you ahead of time because of the events you knew would occur. The experience was to inform you emotionally and spiritually of the great meaning of each individual, portray the lovely brilliance that is within each human being, and let you know that the integrity of the self and the soul exists beyond the possibility of annihilation, as you yourself will continue to exist regardless of which path you choose to take ---dying within two years, or living physically on for many more. In other words, you will continue to exist and to be fulfilled within that love you sensed.

You felt before, unconsciously, that you were drifting and that life had little meaning. Beneath the surface of events you felt unfulfilled, and felt that you had great courage and abilities with never a chance to use them, and no “heroic” episodes then to rouse you to fuller understanding, and no real impetus to lift you or to bring excitement into your days.

Unconsciously, therefore, you chose a situation in which a crisis was precipitated, rousing all the greatest elements of heart and soul, so that they must strain to understand, to perceive, to triumph. And so you shall, in whatever way is most important for you, and you will learn more and be more fulfilled than you would have been had those conditions not been initiated.

This does not mean that there were not other ways available that you could have chosen. You chose the set of conditions that you did because in past existences you were so terrified of death that you tried to hide its knowledge from yourself, and this time you placed it in the forefront of your attention.

In the entire fabric of your existence, this life is a brilliant, eternally unique and precious portion, but only a portion, from which you emerge with joy and understanding, whether you die tomorrow or in years to come. The choice of life and death is always yours. Life and death are but two faces of your eternal, ever-changing existence, however. Feel and appreciate the joy of your own being. Many live into their nineties’ without ever appreciating to that extent the beauty of their being. You have lived before, and will again, and your new life, in your terms, springs out of the old, and is growing in the old and contained within it as the seed is already contained within the flower.

We are all travelers, whatever our position, and as one traveler to another, I salute you. 

End of reply.

Seth on Death and Cancer

Seth, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, Sess 866, Mass Events

Cancer, for example, has become the symbol for the body’s vulnerability, in current years—the proof of man’s susceptibility to the body. It is a disease that people have when they want to die—when they are ashamed to admit that they want to die, because death seems to fly against sane behavior. lf the species struggles to survive, then how can individuals want to die?

I have mentioned before that many people have had cancer and recovered without knowing it. In your belief system, however, it is almost imperative to see a doctor in such circumstances (as Jane wrote in Note 2 for Session 805), for many fears are unsubstantiated, and the fear alone, found groundless, gives the person new life symbolically and physically.

In the case of your article, a woman’s cells would already have had to prepare themselves for the guest—granted that guest was cancerous, and was a sperm. There is not an attack. There is an acceptance and a preparation for certain changes.

(Pause at 10:13.) A life crisis is formed. The “parasite,” or virus, plays its part in setting up such a psychologically-desired position. It is an emotionally-charged position, an imminent crisis. I am aware of the tormenting questions involved in such issues, and also of the gap between my explanations and the daily experiences of many people. The fact is that when death comes it is wanted; it has been chosen.

The fact is that death in its way is the culmination of a life, leading toward a new birth and new experience. The cells know this. So does the heart. People cannot admit that they want to die at certain times. If they could accept the fact of their own wishes, some could even change their minds. Many do: The psychological condition changes for the better, and the body cells are no longer amiable to the cancerous condition.

Seth Classic: Natural Hypnosis Exercise

In those areas in which you are dissatisfied, you feel that you are powerless, or that your will is paralyzed, or that conditions continue despite what you think of as your intent. Yet if you pay attention to your own quite conscious thoughts, you will find that you are concentrating upon precisely those negative aspects that so appall you. You are hypnotizing yourself quite effectively and so reinforcing the situation. You may say, horrified, ‘What can I do? I am hypnotizing myself into my overweight condition (or my loneliness, or my poor health).’ Yet in other facets of your life you may be hypnotizing yourself into wealth, accomplishment, satisfaction - and here you do not complain. The same issues are involved. The same principles are operating. In those positive life situations you are certain of your initiative. There is no doubt. Your beliefs become reality.

In the unsatisfactory aspects, you must understand this: there is also no doubt. You are utterly convinced that you are sick, or poor, or lonely, or spiritually opaque, or unhappy.

The results, then, as easily and effortlessly follow. Natural hypnosis, in the terms given here, operates as well in one case as in the other.

What should you do, then? First of all, you must realize that you are the hypnotist. You must seize the initiative here as you have in other positive aspects of your life. Whatever the superficial reasons for your beliefs, you must say:

For a certain amount of time I will momentarily suspend what I believe in this area, and willfully accept the belief I want. I will pretend that I am under hypnosis, with myself as hypnotist and subject. For that time desire and belief will be one. There will be no conflict because I do this willingly. For this period I will completely alter my old beliefs. Even though I sit quietly, in my mind I will act as if the belief I want were mine completely.

At this point do not think of the future, but only of the present. If you are overweight, insert the weight that you think is ideal for you while you are following this exercise. Imagine that you are healthy if you have the belief that you are not. If you are lonely, believe that you are filled with the feeling of companionship instead. Realize that you are exerting your initiative to imagine such situations. Here there can be no comparison with your normal situation. Use visual data, or words - whatever is most natural to you. And again, no more than ten minutes is required.

If you do this faithfully, within a month you will find the new conditions materializing in your experience. Your neurological structure will respond automatically. The unconscious will be aroused, bringing its great powers to bear, bringing you the new results. Do not try to overdo this, to go through the entire day worrying about beliefs, for example. This can only cause you to contrast what you have with what you want. Forget the exercise when it is completed. You will find yourself with impulses that arrive in line with these newly inserted beliefs, and then it is up to you to act on these and not ignore them.

The initiative must be yours. You will never know unless you try the exercise. Now if you are in poor health, and have a physician, you had better continue going to him, because you still rely on that system of belief - but use these exercises as supplements to build up your own sense of inner health, and to protect you against any negative suggestions given by your doctor. Utilize the belief in physicians since you have it.
