Flatlining Part 2

Abraham-Hicks Boulder, CO 07/04/1997

(Continued from Part I.)

Abraham: It's so important that I feel good, that I'm going to watch specific television programs. It's so important that I feel good, I'm going to spend more time with this good feeling friend and less time with that not so good feeling friend. It's so important that I feel good, I'm going to change the magazine subscriptions that I read. It's so important that I feel good, that I'm going to ponder thoughts from my past that make me feel better and I'm not going to ponder the ones that make me feel less than good.

It's so important that I'm in harmony with my Core. It's so important that I connect with Core Energy. It's so important that I fulfill my reason for being.

It's so important that my cork floats, that I'm going to begin to behave differently than I have been, because what I was doing before, I was not doing on purpose. I was doing it because others taught me, because it was my habit, it was pervasive, it was dominant, and because it was there. But I was not doing it decisively. I was doing it by default. And now, I am decisive.

I have decided who I am. I have decided I'm an extension of Nonphysical Energy. I have decided I am a joyful person. I've decided I want to feel good. I've decided that's who I am.

I've decided that this thought doesn't feel so good, so I'll choose this one. I've decided this thought doesn't feel so good, so I'll choose this one. I've decided to eat this. I've decided to go there. I've decided to breathe this. I've decided to pause for a moment. I've decided to think about this. I've decided to call this friend.

I'm decisive, and I'm making those decisions with one singular intention, only one criteria: How does it feel? Not hard. I remember how it felt last time: I go to call my mother. Augh! Does this mean I shouldn't call my mother? No. It means, I shouldn't call my mother, given the vibration that I remember most. But I want to call my mother. I feel guilty about not calling my mother. Augh!

I want to call my mother and feel good about calling my mother. Bless her heart. She really means well. She is a very wise person. She knows much that I know. I have so many wonderful memories of the times we've had together. I'm so appreciative of all that she is. I adore her from the depths of my being. I'd like very much for her to know how much I love her. I think I'll call my mother.

Line up the Energy and then take action. Line up the Energy and then take action. Line up the Energy and then take action, and the Universe responds powerfully to your Energy.

Anything that you do that helps you to conclude that you're not where you're wanting to be, makes it harder for you to find that feeling place of where you are wanting to be. You're doing very well. Be easy about it. Lighten up. And most importantly, do anything and everything that you can to get your attention off yourself. Don't misunderstand. We don't think you're too self-absorbed. We don't think anybody can be. If you will give more attention to what is flowing through you toward something, instead of what's flowing through someone else toward you, things will get better right away.

If you have a desire and a vibration that doesn't match it, and you don't notice that that's what negative emotion is telling you, so you don't take this pivot and raise your vibration, don't worry, the negative emotion will get bigger. And if you still don't do anything about it, don't worry, it will get bigger.

It starts out with a little sensation that you would call negative emotion. Then it becomes a little stronger sensation that you might call concern. Then it's a little stronger sensation that you might call physical sensation. Then it's a little stronger thing that you might call physical discomfort. Then it's a little stronger thing that you might call physical ailment or illness. Then it's a stronger thing that you call croaking.

Anywhere along the way you can make a conscious decision to let the Energy flow. And that's what relief is. You don't have to have physical relief in order to have mental or emotional relief. An illness doesn't have to go away altogether for you to feel better about it.

Most of you think, "Well if this would just go away I'd feel better." Well, we don't doubt that. But it's not going away if you don't do something to change your vibration. That's why if you go to a physician and your desire now, in light of what you're living, is to be rid of that, and you say, "What do I have?" And he says, "You've got this and this." And you say, "What does that mean?" And he says, "Well, take this pill and it will go away, and take this pill and it'll go away." In other words, there are things that they can give you for many things. Now, your desire and your belief are in the same place, and it goes away. And often he gives you a sugar pill. It isn't what he is giving you is that is making the difference. It is that he is giving you, now, the reason to allow what you desire.

Something has happened within many of you, within most of you, where you must justify the good that comes to you through some effort. And we say, oh, we would really like it if you would get over that one, and just begin to accept that the good comes to you, and that is what is natural. But we're very delicate when we say that to you, because the next thing you do is beat up on yourself when you don't let the good come.

You can't get it wrong. Just be easier about this. Nothing so wrong is so wrong. In other words, you're doing very, very well. You're giving much too much attention to insignificant things. And we know that it is easy for us to call them insignificant because we're not living them, but we are telling you they are insignificant.

We have enjoyed this interaction immensely. It is delicious to come together with creative Deliberate Creators like you. Be easy about all of this. Don't make too much of it. There is great love here for you. We are complete.

Flatlining even when doing the Processes?

Abraham-Hicks Boulder, CO 07/04/1997

GUEST: I would like help boosting up the Energy of my appreciation. When I'm feeling negative, I try to shift my attention to something I can appreciate, but it's almost a flat line. I look at the beautiful sky and say, "Oh, that's a beautiful sky."

Abraham: Just stay there a little longer. You see, when you already have a trend going toward the negative, and most do, and then you say, "But I want to feel better," it's sort of like strong attention to this and then blip, and then strong attention to this and then blip. So what you have to do is want this more. Make a stronger decision that you want to feel good.

Focus on the word and the feeling of "decision". You know what it feels like to decide? Can't you just feel a focusing of Energy in decision? At the heart of this we can feel that you're not yet convinced that it's all right for you to, or even that you're supposed to, feel good. We feel from you that you still feel a little guilty about feeling good. Even though you want to feel good, there's something within you that is not really allowing you to give your full attention to it.

We think this will help you: Imagine that you are swimming and you find yourself tired and in trouble. Well, if you would just relax, you could float to the surface and regain a little stamina and then off you could go again. But if you start flailing about in your fear that you're going to drown... The worse it gets the worse it gets the worse it gets... And what we would like you to do is just do more relaxing.

The key to raising your vibration is reaching for a thought that gives you a sensation of relief. You all are hitting this too head on. You're saying, "Well this negative thought is not where I wanted to be so I've got to deal with this negative thought and make it better." Well the problem is, the whole time you're dealing with that negative thought you're embroiled in that negative thought. Better to release it and choose a positive thought, and then once you've reconnected you can look back at that from your place of connection and raise that.

Whatever your vibration is, you shine that light on whatever you are giving your attention to. And that's why we want you to let it be a feeling process rather than a thinking process. So let's say you bump into somebody who is aware of who you have been, and you have a specific relationship with them. You might have even confided in them about some trouble. So they say, "How's it going?" And what they mean is, "Give me the dirt." And you say, "Do you want to know how it is right now or how it's becoming?" They'll say, "What?" Because they really wanted the dirt. But what you're saying to them is, "I don't want to go there. I know we've talked about it before, but things are so much better and I'd really rather go here." So they say, "Are things really better? Really better?" Meaning, "I don't see any evidence of improvement. Why are you pretending and fooling yourself? Why are you in this place of delusion?" And you say something like, "Things are better. I'm not sure if it shows outwardly yet but it sure feels like it inwardly, and that's all I really care about. I'm feeling great." Then they might say something like, "Why? Are you sure you really feel great?" Now sometimes you are the one playing this other part "Are you sure you're really feeling great?" You answer, "Well, I thought I was feeling great. Well, maybe I'm not feeling so great." "Why? What have you seen? What have you heard?"

We encourage you to Set Your Own Tone. It isn't difficult for you to Set the Tone in the physical realm, because you've got a Nonphysical Tone that is flowing to you at all times. And when you choose something that resonates with that Tone, you feel elation. You feel Joy. You feel Passion. You feel Enthusiasm. You feel clarity. You feel full. You feel good. But if you're choosing something that doesn't resonate, you're going to feel something different from that. Never mind what the subject is. Concentrate on how you feel, and make a decision, "Nothing is more important than that I feel good."

Abraham's 30-Minute Energy Alignment Process

Excerpt from Abraham's latest book "The Vortex" p. 39

Find things in your immediate vicinity--such as your bed, your bed linens, and your pillow--to direct your appreciation toward. Then set your intention to sleep well and to awaken refreshed. When you find yourself awake in the morning, like in more appreciation for at least five minutes, and then refresh yourself by bathing and eating. Then, sit for 15 minutes and quiet your mind. Feel whatever resistance you may have fall away, and feel your Vibration rise. Then open your eyes, and sit for five or ten minutes writing a list of things you appreciate about your life.

In doing this Energy-alignment work, your point of attraction will not only yield to you activities and rendezvous with good-feeling people, places, and things - but your ability to experience the delicious depth of them will be dramatically enhanced. Rather than doing things and going places to try and make yourself feel good, deliberately get to feeling good - and let those things and people and places come to you. It is possible that once you come into alignment with who-you-really-are, you will gravitate to a different relationship. But it is also likely that the relationship that you are already in was attracted from your point of being in alignment to begin with, and now that you have achieved alignment again, it will renew itself for you.

If you entered your current relationship from a place of mostly-alignment, its potential for returning to a wonderful feeling-place is great. If you entered this relationship because you were in the process of escaping form something unpleasant, then the basis of this relationship may be more about what you do not want than about what you do want.

In any case, getting yourself feeling good before you take any action is always the best process; and when you do not feel good, you cannot be inspired to any action that will solve the problem

Seth's Process to Discover Your Beliefs

There are two ways to get at your own conscious beliefs. The most direct is to have a series of talks with yourself. Write down your beliefs in a variety of areas, and you will find that you believe different things at different times. Often there will be contradictions readily apparent. These represent opposing beliefs that regulate your emotions, your bodily condition and your physical experience. Examine the conflicts. Invisible beliefs will appear that unite those seemingly diverse attitudes. Invisible beliefs are simply those of which you are fully aware but prefer to ignore, because they represent areas of strife which you have not been willing to handle thus far. They are quite available once you are determined to examine the complete contents of your conscious mind.

If this strikes you as too intellectual a method, then you can also work backward from your emotions to your beliefs. In any case, regardless of which method you choose, one will lead you to the other. Both approaches require honesty with yourself, and a firm encounter with the mental, psychic and emotional aspects of your current reality.

As with Andrea, you must accept the validity of your feelings while realizing that they are about certain issues or conditions, and are not necessarily factual statements of your reality. ‘I feel that I am a poor mother,’ or, ‘I feel that I am a failure.’ These are emotional statements and should be accepted as such. You are to understand, however, that while the feelings have their own integrity as emotions, they may not be statements of fact. You might be an excellent mother while feeling that you are very inadequate. You may be most successful in reaching your goals while still thinking yourself a failure.

By recognizing these differences and honestly following the feelings through - in other words, by riding the emotions - you will be led to the beliefs behind them. A series of self-revelations will inevitably result, each leading you to further creative psychological activity. At each stage you will be closer to the reality of your experience than you have ever been.

The conscious mind will benefit greatly as it becomes more and more aware of its directing influence upon events. It will no longer fear the emotions, or the body, as threatening or unpredictable, but sense the greater unity in which it is involved.

Seth, NOPR, Session 644, p. 213

Blogger's Note: After a few weeks of doing the hypnosis exercise to change a deeply-rooted belief, I awoke one morning with a perfectly delineated nest of beliefs on the subject. I wrote them down and chose the most emotionally charged ones with which to work directly.

Abe Classic: Belief Changing Process

Abraham: Here is the process, we can offer it to you in 30seconds. 

Make a statement of desire “I WANT” and what that automatically does is pinpoint the particle that you are going to make bigger. It might already be big and it might just be a particle but that identifies what you want and it also alerts your guidance system. Two very important functions.Now that your guidance system is alerted, anything that is within you or anything that will come to you, that is not now in harmony with what you have said I WANT - you will be notified of it. As you are notified of it then you can simply release that thought from your experience by focusing again upon what you want. That is the way you bridge or alter your beliefs.
You say I WANT. That turns on your guidance system and as you move through life experience, you are sensitive to the way you feel negative emotion, you pinpoint the conflict, you focus again upon what you want and the conflict goes away. That is the process for bridging beliefs or for changing the clump of thoughts within you so that they all go together well until eventually you come to believe that which you are wanting to believe, you see. 

Now, does that worry you?
There are those who that would worry. They’d say, “Abraham!! You're talking about changing beliefs!! Do we really have the right to alter those beliefs, are they not beliefs that have been carved in granite or carved and set out for all to follow?” 

No!! They are not!!


Blogger note: This is some older Abe from one of the first books. I like digging back in the earlier books sometimes because the approach is just slightly different. Here they detail a process of working through it as it comes up which can be a lot easier said than done. I've really gotten a case of emotional whiplash in these situations which is why I'm combining my current work with the Seth hypnosis exercise which is a long hault, but can be more gentle with thorny issues. However, this Abe approach is good to keep in mind throughout the day as you work out a few knots piece by piece.

Abe: Chill Out

Processes are good - overdoing them isn't good.

Because when you overdo processes, what's the underlying thing?

"I'm not doing well." 
"I need to work really hard."
"I'm far from where I want to be."

Listen to yourselves when you say "Oh yeah, I sort of want that" and "I really, really, really, really want that."

Well the things that you really, really, really want, usually you're really, really, really practising really, really, really big thoughts that really, really, really hold you in really, really resistance to what you really, really want.

Give it a break - give it a break.

Step 1 happened. Step 2 happened. Chill out. Be easy.
