Abraham Now, 2/26/25, part 1, 32:32 – Goof Off More
Q: Hi Abraham. I have a question for you today, and it is how to find balance between my work life and my social life. I've been really struggling. I love my business. And I devote a lot of time to my business. The bigger we get, or the more that we grow, the less time I have for any kind of social life. And anytime I take time off, there's this looming feeling that I deal with. And I just feel like I'm so scared of falling further behind. I could be using that time to get back to people. I could be using that time to organize our schedule. And I’m struggling so hard to find alignment because I know I need balance. And I think I just feel like I'm missing that right now.
?
A: So we're on the subject. Can you feel the momentum gathering here as these videos came in? We're showing them in the order they came in. Not one by one by one, because we're choosing them. But via the momentum of this conversation.
?
So recently, we've been playing with Esther. And we've been telling her, we want you to goof off more. Goof off more. But it's more than that. It’s more than the balance of your social life with your friends.?It's more than goofing off. It’s goofing off and not feeling guilty.
?
Stay with us. Let's say that - this is not the case with you - but let's say that you have so many dollars in your bank account, and you are not going to goof off and just spend them. You're going to feel shortage consciousness, and you're going to feel - excuse the harsh word - stingy with your dollars. And so, there's no balance going on. There's no in and out. You've got it pinched off with some attitude, or mindset.
?
So in like manner, let's say that your bank account is not money. Your bank account is your time. And the time is just not enough for all that you want to do, the requests that are being made. There's not a balance of in and out. And you can't let more helpers in because you've got shortage consciousness. No good ideas can flow to you because you've got.. You can't do enough is what you're describing to us, and discovering.
?
There's not enough action in the world to compensate for the imbalance in your bank account of energy, of ideas, of helpers. You gotta goof off and not feel guilty about it. And that takes some doing. Because you have formed a belief over time - most people do – that there's this much time to do this much stuff and that brings this much money.
?
But it isn't how the law of attraction works.?The law of attraction is not responding to your action. The law of attraction is responding to your vibration.?So the imbalance is not in number of employees, and it's not in money either. The imbalance is in asking for more than you believe you have time for, or money for.
?
So, we've talked quite a bit over time - haven't we friends? - about the power of you focusing on things that are already in your life, easy to find, easy existing matches.
?
You almost cried during this video. You're feeling pretty overwhelmed, and quite sorry for yourself. And we understand it. Esther has been there over time. When you have a big life, and big things that you're asking for, and lots of people in your world, and you have a sense of responsibility about it… We get that.
?
But you are the keeper of your point of attraction. Period. And when there is an imbalance in that… Thank you for those words from our friend, a few videos back. When there's an imbalance in that, then you want to step up your action, because that's what other people have always taught you to do. You gotta do more to get more. There's got to be pain or there can't be any gain.?
?
And it is not how the universe works! The universe answers your request when you ask. But the question that we're asking you is, are you asking in a balanced way or in an imbalanced way? Are you asking with the door closed? “I feel sorry for myself. I'm overwhelmed. I'm not getting enough sleep.” Or are you asking with the door open? “I have a lovely life and whatever I need comes to me.”
?
And so that's why we've been encouraging serious attention to giving yourself permission to just goof off. Stop being responsible for a minute here and there. Stop being responsible through action. And try to be responsible through emotion. Which means try to find something to feel better about now. And do it over, and over and over, and over and over, and over and over, and over and over, until you're like our friend a few videos back, where she can feel herself in that zone. It's indescribable. She tried, but it really is indescribable.
?
And it's not something that a lot of the human world wants to hear from you, because they really think you should suffer if you're going to receive.?But you're not going to receive while you're suffering. You're gonna receive while you're goofing off.
?
Now, hear it. Esther said to a friend yesterday… They went to their Taco Bell vortex. It's just a fun hour where they drive on the freeway, like what they see, never stop acknowledging the beauty of the day, or of the drive, or of what they're seeing on the drive. And then they get something that is pleasing to each of them to eat, for a lot of different reasons. It's fast. And they can eat in the car, so they have control of the vibrational environment around them.
?
And they can continue to sit there in an attitude of utter upliftment and well-being. Even if they're focused upon a question or something that they're wanting to resolve, it's the Taco Bell vortex. It's where there is a predominant balance of in and out, in and out, in and out, in and out.
?
And while they are driving, one or the other of them often says, “Can you feel what a good job we're doing to our point of attraction right now? I think this is what Abraham's talking about. Feeling like this. Free, and happy about life, and about this drive, and about this town, and about this world, and about that ocean, and about this drive, and about this car, and about this… And this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this.
?
In other words, sort of softly rampaging about easy existing matches. And?knowing?- this is the part that we're asking you to accept from us -?knowing?that this is the best possible work that you could be doing. Abraham really? Goofing off is the best thing that I could be doing? Yeah, it's the most productive thing that you can do right now.
?
Because you already did step one. You've lived. You've asked. You've worried. You've asked. You've felt enraged. You've asked. You've experienced what you don't want. You've asked. You've asked. You've asked.
?
You've created a vortex that your inner being is focused upon and cooperative components have already been gathered and are gathering, even as we speak. And you've got to find that sweet spot where you are not blocking what you've asked for. That is the work!
?
If you go with your friends and try to do a little social life and feel guilty, then you've accomplished nothing. You might as well have kept your nose to the grindstone. If you go and have an argument with someone as you're justifying, I just need a break, you might as well have stayed and not taken the break. That's not getting it either. You gotta let yourself off the hook.
?
We encourage you to goof off, guilt free. We've never offered an assignment in this broadcast before, but that is our assignment to all of you. Find more opportunity to goof off every day. And be very sure that you're not going to feel guilty about it, because that is the work! To ask and to expect it to come without justification.
We're not saying that you're not going to enjoy action. Oh, when the momentum gets going and the ideas start flowing, it is so fun to follow up with the action that's in harmony with that. But that kind of action is life-giving.
?
That's what the songwriters are feeling. That's what the musicians are feeling when they're in the flow. That's what the artists are feeling as they're painting on their canvas. That's what the sculptors are feeling as what's in their mind is taking form right in their hands.?
In other words, we're not asking you not to take action. We're asking you to take action in balance, in the flow.
