Abraham on Teeth, Dentists, and Medical Expense

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Abraham - 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.

Seth: The Best Kind of Insurance

Seth, Seth Speaks, Session 546:

Quite simply, a belief in the good without a belief in the evil may seem highly unrealistic to you. This belief, however, is the best kind of insurance that you can have, both during physical life and afterward. It may outrage your intellect, and the evidence of our physical senses may shout that it is untrue--yet a belief in good without a belief in evil is actually highly realistic--since in physical life it will keep your body healthier, keep you psychologically free of many fears and mental difficulties--and bring you a feeling of ease and spontaneity in which the development of your abilities can be better fulfilled. After death it will release you from the belief in demons and hell, and enforced punishment. You will be better prepared to understand the nature of reality as it is.

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.

Seth: Witch Doctors in White Coats

Seth, NOPR, Session 659
With the greatest understanding and compassion, let me mention that Western medicine is in its way one of the most uncivilized hypnotic devices. The most educated Western doctors will look with utter dismay and horror at the thought of a chicken being sacrificed in a primitive witch doctor's hut, and yet will consider it quite scientific and inevitable that a woman sacrifice two breasts to cancer. The doctors will simply see no other way out, and unfortunately neither will the patient.

A modern Western physician--granted with the greatest discomfiture -- will inform his patient that he is about to die, impressing upon him that his situation is hopeless, and yet will react with scorn and loathing when he reads that a voodoo practitioner has put a curse upon some innocent victim.

In your time, medical men, again with great superiority, look at primitive cultures and harshly judge the villagers they think are held in the sway of witch doctors or voodooism; and yet through advertisement and organization, YOUR doctors impress upon each individual in your culture that you must have a physical examination every six months or you will get cancer; that you must have medical insurance because you WILL become ill.

In many instances, therefore, modern physicians are inadequate witch doctors who have forgotten their craft -- hypnotists who no longer believe in the power of healing, and whose suggestions bring about other diseases which are diagnosed in advance.

You are told what to look for; you are as cursed --far more -- as any native in a tiny village, only you lose breasts, appendixes, and other portions of your anatomy. The doctors follow their own ideas, of course, and in that system they see themselves as completely justified -- as humane.

In the medical field, as in no other, you are faced directly with the full impact of your beliefs, for doctors are not the healthiest, but the least healthy. They fall prey to the beliefs to which they so heartily subscribe. Their concentration is upon disease, not health.

And Now Seth: Should I Get Health Insurance? Pt. 2

Seth, NOPR, session 661, p. 331

Not only do you operate within your own personal beliefs, of course, but within a mass system to which you subscribe to one degree or another. Within that organization medical insurance becomes necessity for most of you, so I am not suggesting that you drop it. Nevertheles, let us look more closely at the situation.

You are paying in advance for illness that you are certain will come your way. You are making all preparations in the present for a future illness. You are betting upon disease and not health. This is the worst kind of natural hypnosis, and yet within your system insurance is indeed a necessity, because the belief in illness so pervades your mental atmosphere.

Many become ill only AFTER taking out such "insurance"- and for those, the act itself symbolically represents an acceptance of disease. Even more unfortunate are the special policies for the elderly that detail in advance all of the most stereotyped and distorted concepts about health and age. There is a great correlation between the kind of policies that people take out, and the illnesses that they then fall prey to.

Should I get Health Insurance?

Abraham-Hicks tape 2/9/02-B

Abraham: We are not for a moment suggesting that there is not a place for medicine in your world. We just would not replace our own understanding of wellbeing and our natural acclimating to wellness with something that is outside of us.

Someone said, "Well Abraham should I get insurance?" and we say well insurance is kinda planning on trouble.

And then we said, "How do you feel about it?" and she said, "Well I would feel better if I had insurance."

And we said "Then get insurance."

Do anything that you need to do to feel better you see.
