Upstream blues.

RISING ABOVE IT

Mercury retrograde, or whatever they want to call it. In short, major wobble and rolling downhill. I’m sure you all know how that feels – how it starts with a small negative thing (which we do not correct by getting into the Flow as quickly as possible), which imperceptibly, almost overnight, changes into A Bad Day. A Very Bad Day. If it wasn’t so funny it would be catastrophic… if I did not know the skills to turn it around it could have turned into a Life Accident or a Meteorite Hit.

So I put the brakes on – no power steering – dragged it around slowly, put my feelers out for my Most Recent Dream, and tried to tune in to it. Nope, too much – tried Most Recent Feelgood moment.. and slowly, gently, it turned around, wobbled, then swung right downstream.

 

 

“It is our desire that what you have gathered from this above all other things is:

“It is time for me to just relax and chill out and let the wellbeing that is natural to me play a bigger part in my life.”

You are magnificent beings who are powerful in your creating…

And friends, YOU ARE TRYING TOO HARD!!!

Life is supposed to be good and it is supposed to be fun.

Let more of your moments be about things that interest you. Let more of your moments be about things that feel good while you are focused on them. Let more of your moments be about things that make your heart sing. Or things that taste good, or things that look good, or things that smell good.

Just relax more of the time!

Be the selfishly oriented GENIUS that you were born to be and insist that you feel good more of the time.

And it is our promise to you that blessings beyond anything that you have lived will flow into your experience…AND FAST! There is great love here for you. We are complete.”

The co-creation issue.

Co-creation, i.e. the incidents, lives, thoughts, we create together has always had a lot to do, for me, with the attempt we have all made throughout our lives to control people and outcomes, in order to allow only those things that we really want into our lives and our experiences .

As with everything else on this path, the solution is one of great simplicity, and the result is the manifestation of your fondest dreams in your own experience.

I appreciate most about Abraham their forthright human approach, the couching of their messages in terms that make sense to us without the heavy handed approach that is sometimes associated with things spiritual.. like the following excerpt:

“Q: I want to understand more [about] the nature of co-creation.
Abe: So here you are, you have an idea of what you want. And here [your husband] is, or someone is, and they have an idea of what they want. And let’s say that they don’t seem to be identical. Let’s say, in fact, that they might even be different. But because you’re together all the time it feels like if you get what he wants that you can’t get what you want, and he feels the same way. So you look at what he wants and sort of push against it, which makes you not a vibrational match to your own desire. And he looks at what you want and pushes against that, which makes him not a vibrational match to his own desire. So now here are two people who could be, but aren’t, a vibrational match to their own desire, and now they’re blaming each other for not getting what they want. Where if you could just mind your business and not push against what he wants and just visualize what you want, fantasize what you want, pretend what you want, give your attention to what you want, find the feeling place of what you want, then no matter what anybody else is doing the Universe will find a way of yielding. And if both of you are doing that, it is amazing the ways the Universe can find to give you both exactly what you want, even though you want different things.

Q: So the key is: mind our own business.

Abe: That is the message of this day! (Laughter.) And when you are really minding your own business, that means you are tuning in to the purity that is you, you are tuning in the brilliance that is you, you’re tuning in to the good feeling that is you. In other words, your own business is thriving. That’s who you are. You’re supposed to feel good. “

Making like a flower.

Hi all -

Today, I spent my usual time online just getting some good feeling vibes, and it struck me that we are trying so hard not to try hard that we sometimes miss the point altogether.

With the advent of the industrial revolution in England a lot more attention started being paid to words, descriptions, how-to’s, and with the advance of the New Age generation whole forests have given their lives to the published word – all about descriptions, and how-to’s.

Abe comes the closest to a ray of pure sunshine in their simplicity and the sheer light contained in their powerful presence…. just let it be, breathe, and make like a flower. Really. It does not need hectic discussion, or debating, or more how-to’s, or the lost lives of even more trees, sacrificed in the drive to tell others how simple it is to be simple.

Breathe, guys. Just breathe.

Much love,

Nina

The excitement of learning to flow energy.

Something we’ve been observing in you as you’ve been deliberately applying the law of attraction and deliberately applying your desire to be deliberate creators, and deliberately wanting to allow — what we’ve noticed, almost without exception among you, is that when you feel negative emotion, usually you beat up on yourself. Usually, when you feel negative emotion, you feel wrongdoing in that moment. And we’ve never wanted to imply that to you. In other words, we didn’t, really. You just picked it up because you’re used to beating up on yourself. And because your physical training teaches you more clearly to know what you don’t want than what you do want.

What we are wanting you to realize is that negative emotion is a wonderful thing, because negative emotion is part of that guidance system that shows you how you are flowing energy. So, next time you feel negative emotion, rather than saying, “Agh, shame on me. Here I’m doing it again. I keep doing it. I keep doing this dumb thing.” Instead of beating up on yourself, instead feel appreciation for your AWARENESS that you are feeling negative emotion. “Ah, my guidance system is working. I can feel that I’m flowing my energy in the opposite direction of something I want.” Whether it is a flurry or a ruckus you’re having with your child; or whether it is an animal that you don’t understand; or whether it is boys that don’t behave; or whether it is a mate that doesn’t appreciate you; whether it’s not having enough money; or whether it’s having a body that doesn’t cooperate; or whether it’s having a dog that is biting you. It doesn’t matter what the negative experience that you are having in the moment IS. The only thing that matters is that out of it is coming a keener awareness of what you are wanting. And as you let that negative experience serve as a catalyst to help you identify what you DO want, and then you gently talk about why you want it, and envision that it has already happened, or talk about, describe what it would be like to be there, or tell others how wonderful it would be, or remember a time when you were more there, you will feel the negative emotion go away in that moment. And the negative emotions go away — in that moment your energy has shifted. And your new point of attraction has begun. Everything is about the way you are flowing energy.

Everything is about what you are attracting. And you now know where you are in every moment. So, if we were standing in your physical shoes, this is the way we would approach our physical life from this point forward. We would make more decisions in every day about what we are wanting. Because, as you make more decisions, you alert all of the universe to you. The entire universe becomes aware that you want this thing. And every resource that you have which includes everyone and every thing in the universe begins to focus upon you relative to that desire. You don’t have to tell them — just let it be known yourself. And as you are now knowing what you are wanting, your guidance system kicks in in a supreme manner. Your guidance system is now letting you know in every moment where you stand vibrationally relative to this new decision that you have made. So that if you begin to diverge in terms of thought, word, or action, from this new decision that you have just made you will receive a negative warning bell that lets you know-you said you want this but you’re vibrating this. Wanna make a new decision? You said you wanted this, just this morning in your affirmation. We heard you say you want this, but right now you’re thinking, vibrating, feeling this way. Wanna make a new decision? Yeah, I think I will. I can feel that I’m flowing my energy in opposition to what I’m wanting. What is it that I’m wanting?

Then make your statement of desire again. Speak it again. Talk about why you want it. FEEL the energy come right back into place with you.

Oh, friends, it is so exciting once you begin to feel the deliberateness of flowing energy. You think it’s fun to be strong enough that you can pick a lot of things up and move them around. WAIT UNTIL YOU CAN FEEL THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE FLOWING WITH YOUR DESIRE. There is nothing more exhilarating than to be physically focused in an environment with so many other participants. There is so much data, so much information, so much movement, so much stuff, so much mass that you have ability to move with the power of your thought and energy flow-there is not an arena anywhere in the universe that a creator takes greater delight in than right here and now where you are. It is like a playshop beyond description.

SO when you feel negative emotion, it doesn’t mean anything other than right now I’ve just picked up the wrong tool. In other words, it’s sort of like picking up the screwdriver that has the little straight edge instead of the little star edge. In other words, it doesn’t mean anything! Don’t be so hard on yourself.

This is not a big thing. This is a process of sort of see sawing yourself forward into ecstasy and into joy and into contentment and into growth. There is no right answer, there is no ONE right answer. There are MILLIONS of right answers. And the fun is in putting the answers together that work best, you see. You’re getting the sense of all of this?

You can’t do it wrong, you can’t mess it up. You can disconnect from clarity, but SO WHAT? It’s only momentary. It’s only as long as it takes you to realize you’ve done it, and recognize you don’t want it — and then re-identify what you do want. You might trip and fall. When you see your little babies learning to walk — remember that? When he fell down, did you say, “Get up, you little dummy!” Or did you say, “That’s all right.” Did you worry about him not ever being able to get up, or did you know that he would? You see he had within him a wanting. He didn’t need you. He had a wanting and one way or another he was going to figure out how to do it, you see. And one way or another you’ll figure out how to do it too. You don’t need us.

The advantage that we bring to you is that we remind you of things you already know. And the advantage that you bring to the Universe is that you remind others in even more physical graphic terms of what they already know. We have enjoyed very much this interaction. We have moved beyond, on a number of topics, beyond that which has been in this arena or any other. We feel tremendous appreciation for your willingness to participate, not only in this room, not only in this forum, but in this physical experience. You brought to this room today with you all of the experience that you have gathered along your physical trail. And without that physical experience that you have gathered, whether you liked it or not, you would not be who you are contributing in this magnificent way in the here and now.

There will come a time when you will be like your inner being is now – you will look back on even those most miserable of experiences that you have lived, and you will be able to see only the value in them.

There will be a time when you won’t be wanting to talk about any of the things that hurt you at the time they were happening, because as you regurgitate them in the here and now you will feel them hurting you again. But instead, from those memories, that little twinge of something that hurt, you will remember something much greater, you will remember the conclusion that you drew out of it. You will remember the new decision that you made from it, and you will remember the stronger effort that you made to flow your energy toward that new decision. You will remember your successes.

Do you know that when you die, when you re-emerge into nonphysical (there is not death, you know that) but when you re-emerge into nonphysical, and you look back on your experience, it’s only the parties, it’s only the ecstasies, it’s only the high times that you remember? Those are the only times you will have access to. You only are able to acknowledge the triumphs of your physical experience. So we cannot imagine why, as you are physically focused, that you would spend any time doing anything other than that. Have fun with all of this. There is great love here for you. We are complete.

Never a crowd on the leading edge…

Never a crowd on the leading edge, is there?

Talk about the minority on the leading edge  – why do you think there is never a crowd on the leading edge?

When the universe will yield to you anything that you can conjure, isn’t it fun to say, “well, what can I uniquely conjure? What can I do or be or have or feel that is even better than what anybody else has ever experienced?” That’s why there’s not a crowd on the leading edge : it’s because you are always,  we are all always reaching outward. We are supported by everything that has come before, and everything that is happening now is giving birth to the new desire, which is pulling us forward into that which is new.

And there are so many people who are looking at what-is, that it makes them stand in the present state of being, longer.

We really want to say this: that the only place that you will ever be satisfied is out there on the leading edge. You will never be happy tromping around in the “reality” that everyone agrees upon and just regurgitating it. You didn’t come forth as a historian, you came forth as a creator of that which is new. And that’s where all satisfaction and fulfillment is. Every bit of it. The rest of it is just regurgitation.

Holding the vision.

People will say, “Well, I have to work on my goals,” or, “I have to work on my visualization.” And we want you to think more about holding the vision because it is pleasurable to hold the vision, not because you’re trying to make the vision work in order to get to some place that you’re not now standing. “How much should I work?” We would say, work in the sense of joyously moving forward.

Liver of unconditional love…

toothpastefordinner.com

“I am the live-er of unconditional love… I have the freedom to feel as I choose to feel in spite of these conditions.”

And once you achieve that, then you are free! And once you are free, then your light shines and others can follow. Test it out!

There are parents whose happiness depends on whether they can get their children to take the garbage out, and they spend lifetimes not feeling free because they can’t compel them to!!!

Or there are parents who feel they cannot feel good unless their chilren make the same choices that they would have them choose. So they never find joy. There are so many people who are letting their happiness be hung up on the behavior of someone else. Becuase it’s not your job to control them. It’s not even your job to guide them!

My life works!!

Is your first reaction, when things start going wrong, to find fault with yourself? To think about it, try to “address the issue”, attempt to find solutions – as we always say, every problem has a solution, you just have to find it…

Has it ever crossed your mind that the solution lies in the way you see the challenges that cross your path?
Even the simple thought that it could possibly be that you can influence your surroundings, the things that happen to you, the way people react to and interact with you – even that simple realization will already impact all occurrences from that moment on…

MY LIFE WORKS

“MY LIFE WORKS” When you look at what is working, then you generate a vibration within you that says my life works, and then, in everything that you approach — your life works.

You could have ninety-nine things not working in your life and only one thing working, and if you would focus upon the one thing that is going right, for a disproportionate amount of time, saying “my life works; my life works; my life works…” the other 99 things would fall in line with what is working.
So when we say to count your blessings or look at the positive aspects, that’s just about deliberately activating what is working in your life. Because when you do that, you get more and more, and more of that. That’s how the better it gets, the better it gets — the better it gets. That’s when it’s easy to accept that Well-Being is the order of this Universe.

Handling snags, keeping creativity flowing

 

….Here is not a rigid formula for creativity to flow. It flows through the crack of least resistance. So creativity flows easily around a busy schedule. It flows easily around having a lot of irons in the fire. But it has a hard time flowing through resistance or through blame or through ill will.

So her busyness won’t hinder you, but your irritation at her busyness will hinder you.

San Francisco, 2/28/04B —

Something that is very often said by Jerry and Esther when they feel like they hit a snag is:

“This is probably here for a reason. We’re probably being shunted off in the direction of something that is even more valuable.”

That’s a very good attitude to take.

The meaning of the feeling of worthiness

 

Hi all

In the history of the human race, the feelings that we have been and are longing for the most are those of acceptance and comfort.

The intensity with which we look outside ourselves for these feelings is a true barometer of our self love and our absolute knowledge and acceptance of our connection with Source. Our arrival at the place where this reassurance of our worthiness will no longer be necessary, is very much a work in progress for us… and until we attain this place of self-acceptance and self love, the warmth and total support that Abraham offers us is available to all of us, at all times, reminding us of our loving connection with Source – and the measure which which we truly, always, richly, deserve it.

You really do not know how much we are loved.

……………………………….

Every subject is two subjects. There is that which is wanted on one end of the stick and that which is not wanted on the other end of the stick, and you can tell which end of the stick of every subject is activated within you by the way it feels to you. If it feels good, you’re in alignment with well being. If it feels less than good, you’re not.

The way you feel about you is everything. The way you feel about you is everything. We know it feels trite. The word worthiness has been bandied around in your physical time-space reality for a long time and many of you are just flat out tired of talking about it because you want to feel worthy, you’re just not all that sure what it means. And we want to say to you that what the feeling of worthiness means is, “I know that good abounds and I expect that it will come to me.” That’s what worthy means. Worthy means, “I get what I choose.” Worthy means, “Law of attraction is fair.” Worthy means, “I’m offering a vibration, Source knows the vibration, everything is vibrating, law of attraction will bring to me things that match the vibration that I’m offering.”

But worthy means, “I understand that I come forth from the Source of goodness, from the Source of well-being. No matter what I have done and no matter what anybody else thinks about what I have done, I have done nothing to thwart my relationship with the stream other than what I am doing vibrationally that thwarts the stream.” In other words, no one outside of you; there is not a God, there is not a Source no one is looking at you and saying, “Yes, I see that in the past you did this and this and this and therefore you will be deprived of well-being in response to those actions.” There is none of that. There is none of that.
