Can we talk more on this allowing thing? When Abe says we are not allowing 'it' to come into our lives is he only referring to material things or is he also referring to people or conditions (health, moods)?
When Abe says we are not allowing, they mean that we are not allowing Source Energy (AKA All That Is/Well-Being/God/Bliss/Universal Forces --
whatever you want to call it). Everything we want comes from this Source Energy -- so when you align with it, you magnetize everything you want.
Think of "Star Wars". It's the FORCE! That's what you want to align with. It's a force of total well-being, joy, love, all the good, yummy, delicious, happy stuff and none of the bad.
In that event, being specific about wanting a certain person to come into your life would be against the others free will, where as if you state you would like a certain 'type' of person to come into your life then you can allow for that.
You can't do anything against someone else's free will because it's an attraction-based universe. There is no such thing as assertion. What that means is, unless the other person is attracting what you are vibrating, you will NOT rendevouz with that individual. You just won't. So you can't hurt anyone so there's nothing to worry about.
Isn't that liberating?
I've been asking for something, and it seems to be creeping to me. Therefore I must not be allowing it, but I'm unsure as to how I'm not allowing it, what is blocking me? My thoughts? My actions?
Your thoughts and emotions. That's what your vibration is. It's incredibly powerful! Most of us vibrate "all over the place" --
stop/start/stop/start ... on/off/on/off ...
In other words, "I want THIS," (on) "but I can't have it," (off).
If you can spend some time every day focusing on vibrating purely in alignment with what you want -- you will start to see a bigger shift. It doesn't take long -- just 5 or 10 minutes a day consistently for a period of a few weeks or a month. If you do that, you will see a shift. Every time I have ever done it, I have always seen massive changes.
Just promise yourself that you will spend time every day imagining what you want is already yours. Or just not thinking about what you want at all but feeling really really good -- like you would feel if you had it.
If you are unsure about how to do this ... or thinking to yourself, "Aren't I doing this already?" Ask yourself, what is my dominant vibration re: this subject? Is it unhappiness, doubt, worry, sadness, frustration? Or is it excitement, joy, passion, exuberance, fascination, wonder? Note what your dominant vibration is on the matter, just so you know where you are starting from.
Then toss that out the window. Erase the blackboard in your mind and decide what you WANT to feel about it. And imagine THAT every day for 5-10 minutes a day. Let yourself really FEEL it, full on, 100%. Just completely and totally GO there. Don't worry if it hasn't happened yet --
during those daily 10 minutes, all you have to do is pretend.
And not just intellectually -- emotionally, physically, like you are riding the rollercoaster in your mind and you REALLY REALLY REALLY feel it.
Then just WATCH what begins to transpire. It'll knock your socks off.
