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.

Abe: So You Messed Up Big Time. So what?

Abraham - San Francisco, CA, 3/16/02

Abraham: We are wanting to help you find a way of accepting once and for all the perfection of who you are, and we want so much for you to find this place where you really are so sure of who you are that anyone else’s opinion of who you are does not matter at all.

In other words, we want you to be able to... mess something up altogether or blow an exam or crash your car or do any other number of things [to which] much of the world would say, “Well, that was certainly an inappropriate thing for you to do,” and we want you to be able to stand proudly and say, “Hey, I did that and it doesn’t have any relationship to who I am.” 

In other words, “Who I am is Source energy physically embodied. Who I am is pure positive energy out here on the leading edge.... Who I am is an eternal seeker of alignment with who I am, but I’m not going to let any outside standards or judgments confuse me about who I am,” and we feel that’s what is at the basis of all of this for you. When you let somebody in really close where they might really know [you], then you start worrying about what they really think, and we want all of you to reach the place where it just doesn’t matter to you so much what anybody else thinks -- it only matters to you how you feel. And when you reach that place then you attract those people that agree with that.

Does that make some sense to you?

We do not believe that anyone could sit in a room like this... and hear someone like Abraham, who knows the perfection of who you are, telling you how good you are, how wonderful you are, how really right you are, how really expansive and ever-changing you are, and we don’t think that any of you could get it even close to the way we know it and mean it. What we hope to do is to incite within you a desire to train yourself into that dominant thought. We want you to train yourself into self-appreciation. And you just do it one little thought at a time.

Want to talk some more?

Guest: No—that’s perfect.

Abe: One little thought at a time. We want your mistakes—whatever they may be—to strike you as humorous. [When it comes to] your opinion of yourself, no matter what, we want you to look for redeeming features. We no longer want the insecure masses who have surrounded you, who have used your errors as their justification for feeling better, who have convinced you that you are unworthy and inappropriate and flawed in this way and this way and this way as you don’t measure up to who knows what standards—we want you to just stand and sort of shake yourself off and begin saying, “I really don’t give a rip what any of you are thinking because none of you have concentrated upon me fairly. None of you have really known—none of you know who I am, none of you know how I am from Source, none of you have walked in my shoes. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. I have accepted this feeling of unappreciation unfairly and I’ve practiced it, and I’m no longer gonna do it.”
