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.

Coffee or Abraham? What if You're Healthy, but Tired.

Abraham from "Money and the Law of Attraction", p. 134

Jerry: If a person seems to be in good health but feels tired or listless most of the time, what would you suggest as a solution?

Abraham: People often refer to that state of being tired or listless as a state of low energy, and that is really a good way of saying it. While you cannot cut yourself off from your Energy source, when you offer thoughts that contradict that source, your resulting feeling is one of resistance or low energy.

The way you feel is always about the degree to which you are in alignment or out of alignment with your Source. No exceptions.

As you tell the story of what you want (which is the story the Source within you is always telling), you feel happy and energized. The feeling of low energy is always a result of telling a different story than the expanded, Source Energy part of you is telling. When you tell a story that focuses upon the positive aspects of your life---you feel energized. When you tell a story that focuses upon the negative aspects---you feel enervated. When you focus upon the absence of something that you desire in your present experience---you feel negative emotion. When you imagine an improved condition---you feel positive emotion.

The way you feel is always about the relationship between the object of your attention and your true desire. Giving thought to what is wanted will give you the invigoration that you seek.

Seth: Leave them Alone!

Seth Class Session - 09/08/73

Class Member: How can you help a person who believes that you are making them miserable?

Seth: Leave them alone!

CM: Wait, let me finish, - and they believe that you are making them miserable. How can you help them change that belief, to see that they themselves are doing it without...how can you help someone to see that they create their own reality, or to accept that in this tenet?

Seth: First of all, if they believe that you're causing them misery, then you should leave them alone. It is the best help that you can give them at that time. It is false sympathy to do otherwise. You are not helping. The help now can come, but while that belief is held it cannot come from you.

CM: Even with my own thoughts, or whatever my beliefs are, without coming near this person, how can my attitude, my thoughts, or whatever I direct toward this person, help them change that belief?

Seth: Then, in your own mind, imagine them realizing that they form their own reality, and, in your mind, see this realization on their part, and, otherwise, do nothing. You cannot force a belief on another person. You cannot know, as Ruburt would call it, the inward order of their events. You should not try to force your ideas upon them, or your beliefs.

CM: Then you say, 'I'm not making you miserable, that way?'

Seth: Let them go their way, in their own way. You are your responsibility. Each person is his own responsibility. You are trying to prove a point. You want to help, but you are still trying to prove a point. You are settting up resistances and the more you insist that your way is right, the greater the barrier. Ideas are fluid, like water. Left alone, they will change. You set up a dam when you insist, "You must see it my way". Beliefs form reality.

CM: What if I have never said that? But it may be that I take that attitude, in a certain way, but I don't think that it is that vocal and outspoken, but i understand that I am not the cause of this person's misery, or wish or not wish to live.

Seth: Then let that be sufficient. The individual is using you also, and you are allowing it. As long as someone can point to you and say, "You are the cause of my misery", then they do not have to face themselves. And, as long as you play the game, you take part in it and you do not help. You do not have enough faith in the individual involved. They will find it their own way, in their own way, and joyfully take that for granted.

What if Someone Chooses to Molest a Child? (Long)

Abraham-Hicks, Portland, OR 5-8-01

Guest: I always try to get a big picture of the world and what we're doing--and it's like I can hold almost everything, but then there's just some things on the smorgasbord, and I go--that thing--people are still killing whales and killing each other and molesting kids and somehow that balance of not putting my attention to it...then I think, well, that's somehow saying that that's okay. I get stuck there.

Abraham: Here's the thing. It's a quandry between doing something about something--so many say if you don't do something about something then things don't change.

Guest: Yeah.

Abraham: And putting my head in the sand which might feel better to me but it doesn't feel like it's helping humanity.

Guest: Right!

Abraham: And what we're saying to you is, as you're seeing things not wanted and you feel that feeling you described as you see it, and within that you feel desire within you that things be different, now your work is to find harmony within your own rocket of desire; which means every time you turn back and look at things not as you want them to be you are in discord with your own rocket.

Guest: (Laughs) Yeah.

Abraham: So what's the question; there's a problem...?

Guest: No, that's me walking through the world sometimes. I'm very idealistic and there's this discord, and I don't really know how to manage it.

Abraham: See, what you're defining here is the exact process of perfection that you knew you would be embarking upon as a leading edge creator. You did not say "I will choose an environment where everywhere I look things please me."

Guest: Yeah, yeah.

Abraham: You said, "I will choose an environment where I will be stimulated to better ideas, and when the better idea comes, I will attune to the better idea. I won't keep looking back at what caused the better idea to be born." That's the discipline that is required. There are those that would say to you, "Well, we need you to keep looking at the problem because we've discovered we can motivate you to the action that serves us more by keeping you looking at the problem. You're more likely to give up money to support our organization, or you're more likely to give your money in order to keep our dream afloat."

Guest: And that keeps the problem going.

Abraham: If we can keep you aggravated about all of this...

Guest: Right, right.

Abraham: And what we're wanting you to say is, "I felt the aggravation. I felt the rocket of desire. I asked the universe on your behalf for a resolution. I know that when anyone asks the universe always answers, so help is on the way. And I'm going to do my best about helping us all to receive the help that is on the way by holding myself in vibrational harmony with the signal that I've identified." Oh. That is creating at its best, you see.

Guest: Okay, okay.

Abraham: And there's so many well-meaning people who see the contrast; give birth to the rocket of desire; feel it powerfully; shout it to the universe; the universe is answering; and then they're campaigning against what's wrong holding themselves apart from the solution. So even though solutions are happening all over the world, they never have access to them, because they are so vibrationally different from the solutions that, even though they're happening, they never get to see a glimpse of them.

Guest: Okay, okay.

Abraham: You have to find vibrational harmony with where you want to be before the universe can deliver it to you, you see.

Guest: Okay.

Abraham: We wouldn't attempt in any way to try to convince you that there are not things that are happening in your world that you don't want to happen in your world, but we will say to you that looking at the things that you don't want in your world will never make your world more as you want it to be.

Guest: Right. Yeah, yeah.

Abraham: It will only drag you down into the discord of that. We'll also say to you that, as a creator, you are better off with those things you don't want in your world than if your world was, by your standards, perfect in every way today. Because those things cause you to reach beyond what is, and if there's not reason to reach beyond what is, then you stand still, and none of us can do that. In other words, there is only motion forward--contrast assures that, you see.

Guest: Okay. Yeah, yeah.

Abe: We want you to begin to make contrast your friend. Let it be all right that there are unwanted things around.

Guest: Yeah--that's a whole different shift, yeah...

Abe: And let's talk about why. Let it be all right that there are things you wouldn't choose because there are others who would choose them....We are ALL free or none of us are free. And so, if you like being able to choose the things that you like to choose, then it must be all right with you that others choose the things that they want to choose. And you say, "All right, I can go there within reason, but what if they choose something really awful, like molesting a child? What if they choose something really horrible like killing the whales?" ...And we say, it still has to be all right with you that there are things that you don't want them to choose. Oh, that's so hard!

Guest: It IS hard. (laughs)

Abe: "I want them to choose within reason, only things that I would choose." And we say, "Then somebody gets to choose what you would choose." And you say, "Well, can't we just all agree on what's all right for us to choose?" And we say, "How's that working out for ya?"

It turns out that it's all being orchestrated from that broader perspective. ...The balance of intent is coming forth from that broader non-physical perspective. The variety is supreme. Because out of that variety, each genius consciousness gets to choose something more. Do you know the discord and the squalor and the suffering and the poverty and the negative emotion and the illness-- all the bad stuff that you see or hear about in your environment, is not because blessed spirits are coming forth and choosing bad things? In every single case, every bit of that suffering or sickness or badness is because somebody's locked off their signal momentarily.

Attention to Rape

Abraham-Hicks tape G-4/17/94

Lets say that you are a young woman and your mother, when she was a young girl, was raped, so almost from the first thing you remember she talked about it in a guarded way, and so you started picking up on some of that vibration. Not really worrying about it yourself because you say " I live in different times and different places and I am a different person," but still the seeds of that negative vibration beginning in you.

So then because that vibration is within you, you start attracting from your physical environment information about that. And you become best friends with someone who before you met her was also raped. So now the vibration is starting to feel realer to you. You're thinking about it more, you're feeling more vulnerable about it. So now it's a very strong part of your vibration. And now because of the amplification and the amount of attention that you spend on this subject, now you are vibrationally in the perfect position to be the one that the next raper that is anywhere in your proximity chooses.

Now this is what we were talking about. In other words people interacting in your physical sphere influencing you to a vibrational pattern of thought. Now as you are in that vibrational pattern of thought your vibration reaches to the boundaries of the Universe. So you not only have access to a physical raper you also have vibrational access to any of the vibrations in the thought bank !!

In other words so you could have many other-dimensional experiences. So then you go to a past life regressor and you say, "I've got this trouble. I worry about being raped." And so they do a past life regression and in your past life regression you have the experience of having been raped. Or maybe the experience of witnessing someone being raped in this altered state of consciousness. And then your conclusion is "Ah this explains it!" I was raped in a past life and I didn't get it all dealt with so now here I am dealing with it again."

And we say, Balony!!! All that happened was along this physical trail you bumped up against some influence that caused you to start developing a pattern of influence that caused you to reach to the boundaries of the Universe for more of that experience.

...If you are not in a vibration of well-being before you start reaching, from whatever vibrational stance you are in, that which you will attract will be in harmony with that.

In ALLOWING There is No Tolerance

Abraham-Hicks, San Francisco, CA 08/18/2001

We want so much for you to discover the joyous delicious freedom in recognizing that you cannot control others -- but that you do not have to. You cannot control what others are choosing to do or experience -- but you CAN control YOUR vibrational participation with it.

Once you understand vibrational participation, then, you are able to be the absolute ALLOWER that you were born to be. Many misunderstand, they think that ALLOWER means, let someone spit in your face and don't spit back, or let someone abuse someone that's important to you, and just passively do nothing about it, grin and bear it. Tolerate the injustice.

In ALLOWING there is no tolerance. In the moment of tolerance there is usually anger or fear, or rage -- there is just absence of action about it. While in the ART OF ALLOWING, it is true there is not the aggressive action, but there is not the pushing against, in the form of anger or fear. What ALLOWING truly is, is standing in my physical now, and choosing a vibration that ALLOWS who I really am to be fully present within me, in this moment.

When you are in the state of ALLOWING, your Source Energy is flowing through you in a non-resisted way. You are feeling love or appreciation. You are acknowledging Well-being. You are knowing that all is well. You are looking for evidence of that. And you are reverberating your resounding affirmation of Well-being in your moment of ALLOWING.

So, in your moment of fear, or in your moment of hate, even though there are circumstances where everyone would agree that you are utterly justified in your temporary disconnecting from who you really are, there is no value, and nothing good has ever come, from that feeling.
