Hi, friends,

Somebody today asked me why ACIM says ego is bad, and Abe said
ego is good. (Paraphrasing the question here. ) This was my
answer, and I thought you guys might want to add to it.

The problem with ego is that Abe and ACIM define it differently.
ACIM means ego as acting separate from God (loose translation.)
Abe means ego as being your unique personality perspective on the
world that acts as a filter to choose what is necessary to pay
attention to in the 1 billion sensory data bits coming at us at
all times.

The best line I ever heard about ego was someone who said (can't
remember who) that if you
replace the word ego in 20th century literature, with the word
"devil" in 19th Century literature, you could easily be reading
the same literature! <grin>

So your friend is right, when he is acting from ego, as in,
separation from God, it doesn't feel
good. But ego can learn to be integrated with God within, and
trained to perceive the million data bits in every moment that
feed back love, light, beauty and joy, and identify itself as the
very valuable filter that shows you God in all things.

What do you think about ego?

Love and hugs,

Vilik,

A billiant suggestion. This has been my overall approach from the
beginning--that I would share scripting of a problem, rather than the problem
itself, or lists of declarative stements or appreciation, or saying what I
love, etc. These posts surely do spread around PPE and benefit everyone
without kicking into the seventeen second phenomenon in a ngative manifesting
way.

I fully support your suggestion. I know that others are mindful in this way,
too, and seem to be consciously aware of setting a positive tone with every
post.

When ohters or we ourselves get into assumptions about others this is sometimes
a snafoo builder. So I love to see the PPE in everything from light and love
to feces and elimination. It's all part of one glorious ball of wax.

Thanks for your brilliant suggestion. I;m happy that you have brought it to
the fore.

Love,

Shane

Hi Green,

What a great post talking about the talk list. I have enjoyed that so much just
hearing the people that you know only from the e-mail posts. For some reason, just
putting a voice with the name is tremendous.

We discussed how each of us got acquainted with Abe and how it has changed our
lives. We also talked about information that some were useing from other sources
and books. We also just chit=chatted some and got better acquainted.

It is so easy to join, please do. I believe the next set meeting is Sat. at 10PM
eastern time. There was also some talk of some getting together on Thurs. at 8PM
eastern time.

Looking forward to hearing many more of you this Sat.

David, you mention that someone from Bakersfield, CA was there. I am from Fresno,
CA which is 1-1/2 hours north of Bakersfield. If there is really someone from
Bakersfield I would sure like to know as that is quite close.

Much love here,
Lola

Hi, Mary-Anne,

The best way I know to stop the negative thoughts is to choose more positive
thoughts. Doesn't have to be about massage school, that is in motion.
Think about reasons why you love your life, how beautiful the sky is, how
fluffy your cat. How so many things you ever wanted in your life came to
pass. How the wellbeing is overwhelming - why the sun came up this morning,
and will come up tomorrow.

Find a way to get happy and stay happy today!

And then, when you are feeling much better, fantasize about massage school.
Imagine learning muscle groups, and practiting on all the new friends you
have made, and laughing when tracing a particular muscle groups tickles!
Won't it be fun to be around all these amazing, delightful, giving people!
And imagine your practice, and the joyous room you will work in. What kind
of music will you play, what kind of sheets, heater, art work, crystals,
lights, massage table will you buy? What will your practice mates be like,
or will you prefer to practice alone? Get specific. There is great fun to
be had in imagining your future life. And when you are done selecting mint
green and pink in your mind as your room colors, redo it all again with
lavendar and turquoise, and see how it feels. Which one feels better? What
about primary colors, yellow and red, with some joyous children's art on
your walls? What if your practice were working with children? How does
that feel? Do you want a sheepskin underpad, or just soft sheets for your
clients to lie on? Focus on details that delight you.

Life is good.

Love and hugs,

Connee

Hi, friends,

I am sitting here in total amazement and joy this morning. I
keep thinking about the discussions we have had here lately about
how to tell Christians who are venting and escalating their
problems about Abe.

In order to completely appreciate this, you need to know that my
Mom is Roman Catholic and goes to Mass every morning of the week,
and that I am (to her) a lapsed Catholic, a sinner on the God
chart. She prays for me daily to return to the True Church. (I
tell her I am grateful for prayers, whatever their content.) To
me, I am a Licensed Religious Science Practitioner, which an
ecclesiastical officer position in our church. Being love for/as
God is my life's primary focus. We have had an uneasy truce
about not talking about God/Jesus/religion for many years.
Sounds kind of like the stories Abe tells about Esther and her
Mom.

My mom has been having a feud with her neighbor about trees. He
keeps cutting down parts of her trees that stray over his lot
line, in ways that are ugly. They live on an island, and he
wants to see more of the water from his home. She loves the
privacy the trees bring, that they are a wonderful habitat for
the birds she loves, and feeds and provides homes for, and shade
for the gardens, the house and the yard that she loves to sit
under.

At any rate, when she called me, the war was escalating, he was
talking about poisoning the trees, and she was talking about
suing him in court, having already reported him to the county
authorities who confronted him about his illegal pruning and
dumping on county land.

At that point, as we talked on the phone, I was faced with a
choice. So I decided to give her the choice instead of making it
myself. I said, "Do you want me to give you advice from my
Science of Mind point of view, or do you just want sympathy and
agreement?"

She gulped, and said, "I need help here, this is way out of
control, give me advice."

So I basically taught her Abe's Book of Positive Aspects process
(under appreciation games on my website below if you don't
already know it.) I suggested that she list all the good things
she has ever seen him do over the 20 years they have lived next
to each other. And I couched it in nice Christian terms about
learning to "love your neighbor."

She said that "love" was too strong a word, so I suggested she
try for appreciation and she agreed to try.

She called a little while ago with the results. She spent half
the night staying up working on her list, and she wasn't feeling
the outrage anymore. She came up with a fairly long list,
including that he has helped her out when she was stuck several
times since my father died. She could see that he was basically
a good man and had been a good neighbor, and that this thing just
has been blown up way out of proportion. And she wanted to know
if she was to give her list to her neighbor.

She also said that before Mass this morning, she asked to talk to
her priest. And told him what I had suggested she do, and he
said, "That was very good advice!" And he approved of her letter
when she showed it to him.

I told her that I thought the list is best kept between her and
God, and that it had to do with her opening her heart to love,
not about changing him, which could be perceived as manipulative
and "holier than thou". That I believed that it is important to
draw a bigger circle that says it is not me vs him, but both of
us in this together. And we talked about how they both love the
island, and appreciate its beauty, just in different ways. He
prefers beautiful grass, she prefers trees. He prefers a view of
the water, she prefers privacy and protection from the winds that
come off the water. Just differences, not right and wrong.
Nonjudgment and appreciation became a big part of the
conversation!

And I suggested that for now, she just appreciate her trees. Not
from a place of lack, but from a place of love, just as they are,
hacked and scarred. And I pointed out that most of us in life
are hacked and scarred in some ways, but we are still loveable.
And she got it! And she said that she could love her trees just
as they are, and appreciate them. And I suggested that she pray
for God to take care of her trees, and Let Go and Let God, just
for a week. And she agreed to give it to God for a week, and do
her job of loving those old trees, as they are now.

It was awesome! And at the end, she mentioned she was doing this
because the first commandment is "love your neighbor." And I
said I'd given a sermon on that lately, and that the first
commandment as I understand it is to love God with your whole
heart and soul, and then to love your neighbor as yourself. And
she agreed I was right, but that love your neighbor was right up
there, and I agreed she was sure right about that!

So now, I have, for the first time in my seven years of being a
Practitioner, received recognition from my Mom that, just
perhaps, my practice of my religion is useful, practical,
grounded in Spirit and comes in handy in a crisis. And I even
received the blessing of the priest! Can you imagine? I am
dancing around the room in joy!

My Mom and I just connected on a heart level on the subject of
God that we have *never* even come close to achieving before in
this lifetime. Since my love of God is the greatest driving
force in my life, this is a very BIG deal to me!

I give thanks for the blessings of Abraham, for the law of
allowing, for all the work I've done to honor her path, respect
her choices, and keep quiet about my own. For Abe's advice to
not ever try to answer a question until it is asked. And for
this incredible demonstration of the power of living this
philosophy and teaching by example *until* the question is asked.

I feel like I have been given an incredible gift of joy. Thanks
to the eclipse, the Grand Cross or Mercury retrograde or whatever
it is that is moving this planet into the times when the Pope
says people create their own hells and parish priests validate
the wisdom of Religious Science practitioners! <grin>

Or perhaps it is just each of us, after all, and so many other
beings of light on this planet, working at learning to love
unconditionally, to allow and to not push against, to open our
hearts to all ways of being, to live in joy, that is making the
change...

Love and hugs,

Connee

Hi Everyone,

A little while ago someone (I forgot who) said that they were looking for
an Abe tape where they talk about Hitler. I found it! It's Los Angeles
1/31/99. There's another one about when persecutors die what happens on
El Paso, Tx. 11/14/98. I hope this helps.

Love,
Elisabeth

What an AWESOME story you've told us Connee!! Ahhhhh, after reading this,
chills running up and down my entire body, I feel there is HOPE for a 'truce'
between my own mother and myself and there is nothing I have to do to achieve
it but BE LOVE PERSONIFIED............. and allowing. Thanks for this
delicious example and your expert story telling abilities!! I too am loving
your Mom's trees and her neighbors grass............YES!!

Love is all

Sorry, didn't mean to have my sig file on the end of that last message.

A week or so ago someone (Paul?) asked for reports of quick
manifestations through Abe's techniques. Here's one that bowled me over
at the time.

On my site, Southern New Mexico Online!, we have a special advertising
deal for chambers of commerce and economic development corps. It's taken
some time to get widespread name recognition, and back about a year ago
when we weren't quite so known as we are now, I had called the ED in Las
Cruces to see about bringing them on board. I was put off a couple of
times, then basically told to go away in a rather rude manner. I dreaded
getting back to these people but knew eventually it would need to
happen. Meanwhile I concentrated on other, warmer welcomes.

About six months later I discovered Abe and was enjoying listening to
the tapes. It was also time to talk to these ED folks again, but this
time I thought I should do it in person since that usually works better.
That meant a two hour drive would be necessary. My husband suggested I
have our Small Business Development Center, with whom I had been
working, call them before I come as a kind of prepaving. It was an
excellent suggestion, a little Nudge of Assistance coming through him.
So I did.

Also, I had recently thumbed through an old book on my shelves that had
popped out at me one day called YOUR INFINITE POWER TO BE RICH.
Everything in it goes along with Abe's teachings, and they talked a lot
about the power of appreciation and affirmations, suggesting the phrase,
"Thank you, Father, for thy riches NOW!" -- the "now" being important
for quick manifestation. So on the two-hour drive I played Abe tapes and
chanted my "thank you" mantra while thinking of all the things I'm
thankful for.

When I walked into the ED office I was greeted with broad smiles, an
apology for the way I'd been treated, and an order three times what I
had been expecting. Whew! The energy was so high and good it kept my
vibratin' till late at night.

Now whenever I'm cuddling my cat or basking in the sun or doing anything
that brings me joy, that phrase pops in and in my mind I sing it out:

Thank you Father for thy riches now!

Love,
Carla

<<Why have I chosen two health issues that have no cure?

<snip>

Could someone guide me to get clearer on this? >>

I posted to another list (Language of Light) about how I got over some
physical ailments that couldn't be cured by convential means. So, just skip
this if you've already read about candidiasis.

Juls is absolutely right!!! Your belief in your total well-being and focus
on the healing of any physical ailment is the cure. However, as she pointed
out, sometimes you need to take action to get to the belief that the healing
is taking place. Whatever you feel guided to DO will be the appropriate
action. Even eating lizards works!!!!!

I don't know about your type of vertigo, but I had vertigo for about 6 months
without finding anything that would relieve it. I remembered a diet I had
gone on for a number of health issues which weren't able to be cured. When I
went back to the book, I learned that vertigo is a symptom of candidiasis.

Candidiasis is an immune disorder which is the cause of headaches,
depression, skin rashes, joint and muscle pain, menstrual irregularities,
digestive problems, food allergies and a whole lot more symptoms too numerous
to list here. This author estimates there are 80,000,000 people who are
affected.

It is an overgrowth of yeast, and, through diet, rest and exercise, you
strenghthen your immunity (the healthy bacteria) so your body can heal
related disorders.

The book I used (there are many out there, but this is the BEST), is The Body
Ecology Diet by Donna Gates. On page 16, there is a test to determine
whether or not you do have Candida. If you can find the book somewhere, you
can take the test before you have to buy the book.

My son's a physician, and he says there is a test, but I've heard it is not
that reliable. Besides, physicians aren't trained about diet and don't heal
the cause, just the symptoms.

Basically, the diet cuts out all sugar, which feeds the bad bacteria in your
body. You don't eat anything sweet, which means nothing with sugar and
fruits, which are high in sugar. With the sugar out of your system the
healthy bacteria can become strong enough to take care of all the symptoms in
your body.

This diet helped me focus on my well-being and the belief that all my
symptoms would disappear. Because the book told me so. And because I knew
that well-being is my natural state.

Why did you choose these symptoms? Because, if you're like me, and you are,
you are calling out for your connection to All That Is. And, through the
process of healing, I really found a stronger connection than I ever had
before. My belief in my own power intensified. My feeling of All is Well
became All That Is. Through the process, I became more aware and more sure
of the process of creation.

All in all, it has been a very powerful journey into the energy of Love!!

The contrast has served me very well, and I now understand loving the
contrast.

However, I still would rather learn without having to go through the contrast
:-) Sigh!!!! Guess there's more to become aware of. Growth never ends!!!!

Loving you all,

Doretta

Hi Friends,

If anyone is willing to send distance reiki to my son I would really
appreciate it!
My son, Colin ( Collin- but with 1 "L") is 5 and has been absorbing, gently
some of the abe principles
I've been sharing. He has been intending perfect health for a couple of weeks
now,
however, he has become ill, inspite of trying not to pay attention to it. Now
that he "is" really sick, it is difficult for him to focus on the
alternative. He is an extraordinary child in that he is very perceptive,
open and sensitive and I know he is going to have a fabulous life experience.
He's such a little thinker already - still!
I hope to have my Reiki attunement in the near future, and eventually I
believe he will follow with it as well, but for now, if anyone can assist, it
would be wonderful.
He needs Reiki for his entire being, although his problem currently is with
his
bronchitis/sinus/throat/ears - a full course of ills!

Thanking you and loving you all!!!

Carla S.

Hi all...

First I want to thank you all for your wonderful messages and energy..
Although I don't post often, I read most of the messages on the list.
Generally they seem to pertain to things occuring in my life.

I'm asking for some help. I'm on a huge run of manifesting some
incredible stuff.. I've managed to move into and co-own a beautiful
townhouse with a dear friend of mine.. and I've been accepted at massage
school. This is like an incredible dream come true, and I'm sitting back
in amazement at how fast government and other things are working. It's
astounding, but part of me is waiting for something to blow.. something
to ruin it. I know I can't be negative about it and that's part of the
problem, I can't seem to stop my mind from the negative trails.. and I
need to manifest $1500 tuition deposit, by the 15th.. I keep handing
this over to the universe, but can't turn off the worry.. This morning
was a prime example.. actually kind of funny. I went to the bank
machine to withdraw a couple of bucks and looked at my receipt. It
showed a balance of 1500.60. You could have knocked me over with a
feather. The thoughts that run through my head were very interesting.. I
wanted it but was afraid that it was a mistake that I would get dinged
with in the near future.. my mind ran down a million avenues.. then I
realized that there were two receipts.. mine was the other one.. ;-)

I want this to happen so bad.. I worry that I'm going to ruin it with my
mind chatter.. AHHHH .. help.

Light, love & chocolate..

Hi Guys,

Tonight I got a call from MCI wanting to switch over to their service, I was
knee deep in chopping veggies for stir fry and not listening very closely to
what she was saying but I know it's a tough job so I let her do her spiel.
I can't remember what the question was but I heard myself say, "Oh that's
covered thru my Husbands office, but thanks." And then I just kind of
stared at the counter top wondering where That had come from but decided
after a bit that it didn't matter and then was Thrilled with it happening.
I guess I'm getting in vibe harmony with that little idea. :D!!!

But then it occurred to me, that often it's hard to carry out our visions in
real life because people who know us know that we're not in a relationship
or whatever and we'd sound slightly insane telling them out loud that we'll
see if our mate has any plans for that night, etc. We can do it in the
privacy of our own minds but usually for it's a bit more real when I say it
out loud. So then I thought, but telemarketers don't know us from squat so
we can say what we choose to Them as well as clerks in stores, bank tellers,
strangers that we find ourselves talking to, etc. They don't care, but we
can use them to make our visions more real to ourselves.

Like going to get a make over at a cosmetics counter, we can tell them that
it's because we think our boyfriend is going to Pop the Question tonight or
go shopping for engagement rings because we are going to pop the question
tonight or whatever. Finding the feeling place of what we want doesn't have
to be just a mental game, we can act it out as well to give it some depth
and to really live what we are wanting.

Anyway, just an idea I thought of tonight. I know that it gave me a big
thrill after I did it.

Dear Ones,

It is an honor for me to announce a very special person
in all of our lives, and we may not even know Him, or His
face.

The question of who started, (or what started), this list about
5 years ago bewilders us no longer.

To the old-timers here, that is not a question...we know.

We all can now view just that... the physical manifestation of what that
looks like in human man.



is the site of the Energy Flow,
a picture of this List's Founder.

with Reverence and Love,
David

Why thank you David! Lovely to see pics of people I have already emailed
with! Joy joy!Look at all those lovely smiles! This is the workshop I desire
to have the transcripts of :) Hooowww purrrrfect!

Thanks and wave wave to All!

just back from a truly wonderful week in the mountains at my power
place. this was a very special trip. my mom lives at the base of
the mountain and i met my oldest daughter and her family there, my
sister came over from atlanta, and my mom and my sister got to meet
our latest addition, our wee faerie, savannah (now seven months
old!)! we got great photos of four generations of women in the
family! i can't wait til they're back from being developed!

i took my daughter, son-in-law, grandsons and savannah swimming down
in the river by my power place. having a ball with the boys, i swam
for two hours nonstop ... which i felt as soon as i climbed out on
dry land and began the hike back up the ravine! holy jimeneez! and
i had been riding horses the day before, another thing my leggies are
not used to doing! yikes! i can see the headlines: wonder shawoman
rescued and carried out of deep woods by forest rangers (actually,
that has an intriguing ring to it... heehee ... but none of my
fantasies for now!)

one of the most beautiful of many memorable moments with my family
in the mountains was looking at my daughter stretched out asleep on a
huge boulder at my power place with our wee baby lying naked across
her chest. i remembered so clearly falling asleep in Nature nursing
my little ones... including the "little one" that was now lying there
asleep with HER little one! there is such awesome magic to being a
crone! the goddess goes on!

while we were down at the river i swam off a ways with savannah and
then held her up to the sky, to the river, to the directions, to the
trees and stones and all my relations. it felt very very special to
introduce my grandbaby to my special woods friends at this most
special place on the planet where my heart sings so clearly :-) i
am teaching the boys how to remember their seeing; i know savannah
could see even more clearly than i! tyler is only six, so he quickly
picked up the rhythm of the woods and was pointing out the fairies
sitting on rocks and the like to me :-)

ahhhh :-) it was truly wonderful!

margie, i'm not feeling my physical presence at your shasta retreat,
so i will join david in expanding my heart and essence to very much
be there in spirit. i do feel that i will be there physically and
will bless your medicine wheel at some point :-) i don't feel it
for this august. so another retreat is in the works already! yea!

tell "marge-in-charge" (a subpersonality of margie's) that my virgo
greatly admired and appreciated both the detail and the generosity of
spirit in your retreat posts! those people who are about to get to
meet you physically are in for a wonderful treat! you are a very
special and wonderful goddess!

blessings to each and all :-)

sonreya :-)

Hi Nirav,

Focus on what you want to Do with the money and not the money itself. So if
you want to build a new house, focus on what it would be like to be in the
new house, the colours and furnishings and the day you move in, it's all
complete and gorgeous and live there in your mind. Or whatever it is that
you want to do with the cash. If you just want the cash, then play with what
it would be like to have the cash, all of the things that you could do with
it, the places you would go, the freedom it would give you, the billions of
options it would open up for you, etc etc. And then notice what you are
thinking and feeling when you think about cash, is it always, Not Enough or
is it REALLY Only Money, only a simple way to do transactions?

LOVE YA- Juls
