Abe Now – One foot in both worlds – 6/8/24, 29:00

Q: Hi, Esther, Abraham, and everyone. I wanted to share an experience that I had a couple days. Uh, my mother-in-law was transitioning. And it was the day before she passed. So she was in a different realm at this point. And I was by her bedside, and she hadn't said much that day. And she looked up at me and said, “Tori, you and your mom are here.”
Well, my mom passed away eight months ago. So it just was… I got chills. It gave me such validation. And I knew she was with me, but I hadn’t really, I was so focused on her, and it just was so, such a gift and validation, a gift of love knowing that my mom's always with me. And then she went on to say something to her mom and that was it. Were they helping her transition? Thanks.
A: Yes, they were.?And something as important as that, maybe even more important for you to hear, for all of you to hear, is that when you are fortunate enough to have one of those experiences where you are with someone who is making their transition, you have the best opportunity for an awareness of having one foot in both worlds so to speak.?In other words, your transitioning person was aware of you still physically focused and your mother who was non-physically focused. And she was sort of bridging that gap.?And you can bridge that gap all the time too. There is no separation except the separation that humans put there.
?
Q: (Abraham speaking) We’re going to read one here. This person says I have a cat that whenever I sit to meditate, I will have headphones on so no one can hear. So no matter what time of day, even if my cat is in the middle of deep sleep, she will just run up to me when I'm about 10 minutes in. This has been such an amazing experience. And it's always when I listen to your guided meditations. The only thing I could wrap my head around, was that my vibration is changing in real time. That my vibration - this meditating person - my vibration is changing in real time. And once I'm near boredom or contentment, my vibration matches hers, and then, she put in quotations, “That which comes to you always matches you.” So I'm seeing the visible example of the Law of Attraction.
A: Yes, you are. We like this last paragraph.
Q: I honestly believe, if I moved into a new house with 10 rooms, and I started the guided meditation, at 10 minutes she could find exactly which room I'm in, and would be running to me right on cue.
A:?So this cat, like the person who was making her transition - cat not making transition - one foot in both worlds, so to speak. Because it's really only one world, and it's a vibrational world.?Yeah.

Q: Hi, Abraham. There were two concepts that you brought up in the Boston workshop, that I'd like to hear a little bit more of. I'm absolutely loving the concept of pointing at what you want and not talking in opposition to it. I've noticed myself in the past week doing that and being aware of when I'm talking in opposition of it. So if you could speak a bit more about that, that would be fabulous. And, going for or playing the long game. What specifically do you mean by that, and would you kindly share some examples of playing the long game? Thank you.
A: Recently, we said to those in a seminar that this business of being a deliberate creator is not as difficult as many are seeming to make it out to be.?We said in very simple terms, just point at what you want. And don't point in opposition.?Just point at what you want. And don't point in opposition.
Well, for many of you, Esther too, it really got her attention. She was amazed at how often even in that very day, and the next and the next, she found herself making statements in opposition to what her intentions or desires are.
Play with it a little bit. That one's fairly obvious, doesn't need much clarification, but it would go something like:
I'm looking forward to this drive out to the studio today. ??? I'm looking forward to the drive today. I'm appreciating this freeway system. No opposite thought there. I'm looking forward to the drive today. It's nice to be in my car. Haven't made this drive in quite a while. It’s gonna be fun to see what's new along the way. No opposition there.
When we talk about playing the long game, we were responding to someone who was focused upon a desire. Something wanted, something really wanted. And no apparent evidence of it unfolding. Well, we spent quite a bit of time talking with that person about how much is happening vibrationally before there is obvious evidence.
It would be like a farmer or a gardener planting the seed, wanting corn. or anything. And then, feeling impatient when there's no evidence of the plant. Not soon at all. Well you're playing a long game. You're not expecting to plant the seed and see immediate physical evidence. And even after you see the plant, you don't expect to see the ear of corn. And even after you see the ear of corn, you're not expecting to pluck it and eat it that day.
You are accepting the evolution of your idea. You are accepting the gathering together of the Cooperative components. That's what we mean by the long game. Not looking for instant manifestation on everything.
What makes you impatient is that there are some things that you've set in motion that have been gestating for a while. The cooperative components have been being gathered. And these manifestations often are at ready manifestation. They are… it's the thought turning to the thing is on the brink of the thought turning to the thing. And you like that feeling. Everyone does. That feeling when the vibration bursts into a see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, touch it manifestation.
And so, these long games that we’re asking you to be all right with will turn into manifestations. And sometimes you get so good at holding your vibration in a place that feels good, that lots of things are popping into your realized awareness.
And so, we're not asking you to be patient. A person who understands how this all works doesn't need patience. Patience meaning, I don't have what I want but I'm not throwing a fit about it. The long game is understanding that…
Here's the best way of describing it to you. One of Esther's very good friends the other day was talking about something that was going on with his work. And he commented that he tells his staff to close the loop. That when they've discussed something and it has been delegated to their taking care of it, sometimes they take care of it but they don't tell him they have. And sometimes he's still wondering about it. So he has to follow through to find out if they have tended to it the way he has instructed. And so he's saying to them, “Close the loop with me. When something that we've decided is taken care of, let me know.”
And Esther thought, oh I like that analogy. And she thought how she herself could do a better job of closing the loop with many people in her experience about things. Esther sets something in motion and often changes her mind about it. But she doesn't loop back around and tell everyone that she's talked to about it that she's changed her mind. She hasn't closed that loop. There are lots of ways to interpret that.
But then Esther got thinking, because she's always thinking about the law of attraction and how everything is about that. And she thought, when something manifests, that's really a closing of a loop of something that I have intended. She really liked that idea of: I've intended it. I'm thinking about it. I'm anticipating it. I'm eager about it. I'm pointing out positive aspects about it. I'm doing my best to only point in the direction of my intention. And it does manifest. And when it does, it's like a loop has closed.
And we agreed with Esther. That's a good way of looking at that. But then, as we're telling this story to you - a sort of long story – we want to say to you that the point of our story is not about closing loops. The point of our story is about how there are always new loops opening, always new loops opening, always new loops opening, always new loops opening.
Even in subjects where you think you've closed a loop, like planting a garden and harvesting it. There's another loop that's opening about what comes next - the harvest process - or what comes next - the getting the soil ready for the next planting - or what comes next - the next planting. In other words, always new loops opening, always new loops opening. And that really is this long game that we're talking about.?The long game, the way we mean it, in the simplest and the most important of terms is, you never get it done. You never get it done.
And so, if you think you need a manifestation in order to be happy, you're going to be in trouble a good deal of your life, because there are a lot of things in the process of gestating, in the process of becoming, that aren't ready to manifest. That loop's not ready to close in that way.
We want you to be excited about the open loops, the new ideas, the next open loop, the never-ending eternal open loops. That's the long game. You are eternal beings playing a long game.
