Juls, Juls, those were GREAT Abe quotes from his tapes on abundance
and health! Excellent selections, thanks for sharing them!!
I have to get some of Abe's books and tapes. So far I have read his texts
from the website, but I want to have something to carry around with me on
trips to read or listen to. You have motivated me, Juls, thanks.
What I find especially refreshing with Abe is how he uses very clear
language with a lot of fun, teasing, theatrics and occasional hilarious
slang.
I remember the transcript where he tells us to concentrate in life on
what we want, as we do at a bakery's cookie counter. When we pick out
cookies at a bakery we don't lament over the cookies we don't want or fear
that they will spread and take over the entire bakery. We look through the
counter and say "Oooohhhh, I really love those peanut butter cookies, I'll
take three of those. And ooooohhh, look at those double chocolate chip
cookies, wonderful, give me six of those. What are those? Pistachio? No
thanks, but mmmmmmm, those oatmeal cookies smell great, give me six of
those...[etc. etc.]" I'm quoting approximately, just from memory; the way
he kids around is even more amusing. I love the way he keeps coming up with
analogies to show us our bad habits of dwelling on what we don't want and
explaining to us how easy it is to attract/create what we do want by
thinking about it without counteracting it.
It's a good thing he keeps reminding us because it takes a while to build
up the faith to stop worrying/fretting about what is not liked, at least it
does for me.
Thanks again, Juls.
Light and joy, Jon
