Hi guys,
Those of you who enjoyed my comments on feng shui, thank you. Those of you who thought I was being a bit too negative about it, thank you also, for your feedback. Let me try to clarify my remarks a bit more - If you want to do feng shui as an experiment, to see if it magically makes your space feel better, and play with it without great expense, and you don't worry about a lot of things you "should" be doing, then it's no big deal. But my point is that if you multiply too often that attitude of relying on someone else to tell you how you "should" design your space or do something, and repeat it again and again, you end up giving away your power to someone else who is supposedly wiser that you, and who might become a crutch for you. In other words, if we often seek out the guidance of an astrologer, a feng shui expert, a psychic, a dietary adviser, etc., we are sending a message to the universe that we don't trust our own instincts and desires. We tell the universe and ourselves that we don't believe that we have infinite wisdom inside ourselves, or that we don't want to learn to access it. For example, if you're looking for a new home and you visit places and you find one that feels good, trust your feelings, even if it has bad feng shui. Conversely, if you find a place that has the "correct" feng shui with the mountain at the back and the water in the front or whatever, and you ignore the bad vibes your heart or gut is giving you, you're probably going to be unhappy there... A place can have bad feng shui and still feel great for you. The so-called bad feng shui doesn't have to affect you any more than "bad" foods have to. We control what happens. Our hearts and inner guidance are much more important than what some "expert" says about which corner of the room should have what, how much vitamin C we should take, etc. The fact that feng shui, astrology, etc. have been used for centuries doesn't impress me. I have been all over asia and have seen loads of people who use feng shui who are very unhappy. And the people I've met who are seriously into astrology are so paralyzed without it that they end up taking fewer and fewer decisions without consulting their astrologer. Remember that Hitler, Mussolini et al used astrologers to guide them; with unimpressive results. The problem of most of mankind over the centuries is that they didn't know they had vast power, so they sought out superstitions, rituals or rules from "experts" to live by. With the Shift, more and more people are discovering their power and freeing themselves from dependency on dogma, superstition, gurus, experts, etc.... My friends, if you find that trying feng shui, or eating certain foods, etc. at modest cost makes you much happier and it works for you, I'm happy for you. No problem. If on the other hand you spend a lot of money getting feng shui advice, changing homes simply to find "better feng shui", buying the most complicated vegan foods and dozens of expensive vitamin/mineral supplements when your body is really telling you it would like more cheeseburgers, pbj sandwiches, lasagna or whatever, then I honestly believe you're unnecessarily complicating your lives and giving away your power. See the difference? I'm not against small crutches if they help. My concern is to not let them grow into bigger crutches, because then your "muscles" will atrophy and you will become very much dependent on the crutches. Bottom line, may I humbly suggest that we consider our inner guidance to be our main expert for all our decision making, and put all other "experts" in a much more limited role, if any. Light and joy, Jon |

I'll put a copy of this on the list so that others can send youhelpful energy also.Dear Carla S., Not knowing how new you are to Abe techniques, I don't know if you know this one, you probably do, but in case you don't, I use it and it feels SO good and is SO much fun, I highly recommend it. Start a list and spend $1000 today. Just write down what you would spend it on. Tomorrow add $1000. The next day add another $1000. Pretty soon you'll have houses all over the world and be giving to all your relatives and favorite charities and swimming in great feelings about your level of prosperity. I haven't been doing it long, but I've noticed a difference in how I feel now around that subject. It's been a biggie for me too. But I trust the Universe is delivering everything in perfect timing. It can be so hard to let go of the worry. It might help to sit down and make a list of all the things that are going right, that you have. And to think of all the people you know who have money and aren't fulfilled. You have something so much better than that - a soaring spirit! People who love you! A WAY to create all the money you want! You can have it all! I know there are more techniques for this money thing. Perhaps some others will share. Then we can make a Money Files. Yup. Or maybe Connie has something about this in her course, I dunno -- haven't had time to check it out yet. As soon as I make some more money, I'll have more free time, heh heh, then I'll do the course. OK, I know David, see it as MINE NOW, not LATER. Okay, Carla, I'm sending you a huge envelope stuffed full of hundred dollar bills. There you go. Check the mail today! It's there NOW! Love, NM Carla |
Help! I need a pep talk
Ilana Goldman
Hi Carla,
I love it that you have chosen to be so brief in your discription of the contrast. You asked for a pep talk. How about it if instead I pretend to be in your shoes and give myself a pep talk (or actually, do a focus wheel...) It works better for me... :) I think I'd write something like this: "In every moment, regardless of circumstances, I have the freedom to choose which path to follow. I can choose the path of fear and stress, or I can choose the path of joy. While both are valid choices, I prefer the path of joy simply because it is more pleasant. I know for a fact that there is no advantage in going the other way... To get on the joyful path, all I need to do is find a way to sooth myself. I like it when I feel good. I like it when I feel appreciative. I like it when I feel loving. I like the idea of allowing myself to focus for a while on those things that are going well for me. For example, I love having a support group that I can trust to offer me loving, soothing words. I love the idea of getting LOA to help me in finding thoughts that feel better, because all I need to do is ask for such thoughts and LOA start to deliver... It is so nice that in the matter of thoughts and feelings the delivery of matches is always instantanous! People are often asking for peace. I would not want a peaceful life! Peace is only attractive from a place of struggle. What I want is to have a sense of purpose, to feel eager, to have passion, to be fully alive! In other words, what I want is to have intense desires that are calling to me. I like the idea of thinking of myself as being in a perfect place for the launching of such desires. I love knowing that this is an endless process and I can always count on a new contrast to produce a new desire. I love being in this place of unfulfilled desires, always having something to look forward to. Right now I have an intense desire for ease and abundance in my experience with dollars. I appreciate the contrast that gave birth to this desire, and now that it has done its work I am ready to release it from my attention, and give my attention to matching my desire. Since thinking of dollars takes me right back to the contrast, I think I will focus instead on reaching for the feeling of ease and abundance. What do these feelings feel like? Like lying on the beach and feeling the warmth of the sun on my face and thinking of this mind boggling ball of fire sending its gifts of light and warmth to me. No matter how long I lay here, my soaking up of these life giving rays does not diminish their availability to me and to everyone else... Like the love within me that I flow toward me loved ones. The more I flow, the more I feel it growing within me! I like these feelings of ease and abunance. I like the idea of looking for opportunities to enjoy them because they feel so nice. I like the idea that it is not my work to change the nature of the manifestations. My work is to give my attention primarily to those manifestations that please me. My work is to keep myself in a happy place. I like the idea of trusting LOA to take care of the manifestations and inspire me to action if and when they are needed. I like the idea that there is no risk here, that every moment is a new beginning and a new opportunity to choose happy thoughts which LOA must match with happy circumstances. I like the idea that all is very well." With abundant love, Ilana-Ora === __________________ Original content is Copyright 1999 Ilana Goldman.

Hi again. I forgot onelist won't allow attachments, so I've posted The
Shit Files on my server. I'll leave it there a week or two to give you time to read and/or download, should you have the interest. A rollicking good time was had that day. For me, it was like a bunch of kids splashing in the mud, enjoying for a moment something "forbidden" in a harmless gesture that involved the questioning of authority -- an example of how loosening up and allowing lets creativity and realization flood the being. Read between the lines. Feel the burst. Laugh . . . enjoy! Or . . . ignore if you're so inclined. Whatever floats your cork. Love, Carla |
Many Thanks
To all of you that have read and responded to my posting
I appreciate all of your words, thoughts, suggestions, feelings. It is very uplifting as always. Your postings are such a wonderful part of my day! Although my delimmas have yet to be resolved, I'm still smiling and feel good. And thats a start! Much Love Carla S. |
August 11th---4th dimension
MMHaffner
think of it as a 'timed-embedded-signal', from the stars.
(of course you know that the stars have intelligent races, right? and of course you know that you probably came from one of them, right? is this why you never really felt at "home" here?) this 'timed-embedded-signal', opens up knowledge, or in better words the knowledge is 'time released' into the human system and human body. the knowledge has to do with the '4th dimension'. the 4th dimension is really rite -here and now-, but is not accessible because of concepts that stand in the way. the 4th dimension has to do with 'time'. here comes the trippy part. to access the 4th dimension, nothing need be done. what is keeping one from the 4th dimension? simple...... false concepts. the false concept is thinking --Everything is Not now, or in other words-----This moment is stale, stagnant, 'old'. the 4th dimension is knowing that -----Every moment is *Literally* Brand new. living in the '4th dimension' is simply being aware that Every moment is *Literally* Brand new. YOU are Brand new every moment. so if you are Brand new every moment, what of your 'line of future', your 'flow of events'? well, they can ONLY come from this moment. this is the knowledge of the 4th dimension.

Re: Abundance
Hi Carla C.
(And hello to all my friends who haven't seen me on the Abe List for a long time) I also use the spending game Carla DeMarco talked about. I just use an extra checkbook and the first day I write down the date and how I am spending the $100, the next day I write down the date and how I am spending my $200, the next day $400, and so on. You don't need to use a computer unless you want to. You can just use a blank check record. Also, Sonreya has recommended another great book on abundance, by Paula Horan, titled "Abundance Through Reiki," in case you want a different approach. I have this book, but I haven't done the exercises yet. Doretta has, and she says it is great. Smiles, Pat C. TSPG |

Re: Feng Shui
<<Follow your joy, create what you want, and know that you are the creators. Nothing can have an influence over you unless you agree to it.>>
This discussion has been really great for me. I've been peripherally aware of discussions on the upcoming eclipse and grand cross as well as feng shui. Reading all the posts, I've become aware that my own beliefs have been shifting. For years I kept abreast of planet movements and most days knew what sign the moon was in. It began to feel like some kind of bondage for me. If something feels good and I feel a strong desire to do it, I do it now. If I need a new tv I no longer check to see if mercury is retrograde. If I feel clear, I go out and buy one. The same with feng shui. If I put a vase of flowers into a corner because I like it, I don't worry about what corner I've just shifted the energy in. I move furniture about without worry that it will have some sort of catastrophic effect on my life. Normally I move furniture because I am ready for a new perspective and when the mood strikes, I just do it. I don't consult any manuals. I'm not saying that there's a problem with studying feng shui or astrology or anything else, but when you begin to organize your life around another person's set of rules you have begun to allow another persons thoughts and desires help rule your life instead of your own. I've learned this so clearly. When something feels good to do now, I just do it. Later on I may consult an ephimeris just to see what was going on if it was fantastically successful, but if I experienced challenges, I no longer worry about whether it was some Saturn issue. Contrast is contrast and I focus on that rather than what was going on in my chart. Participation on this list is really liberating for me: I've had an opportunity to examine my beliefs in this area and I plan to let the eclipse and grand cross pass without special ceremony. There is tremendous movement in my life and it is enough to focus on that and where I am heading. If planetary alignment is part of this movement, so be it. I'll just imagine myself to be a surfer and riding on the crest of that energy. Jon, thanks for your post. Love, Judy |

The main thing I would suggest is that you try not to come from a place of lack in asking the Universe for what you want. I know that's easier said than done. I too have been dealing with financial difficulties. They've slowly improved, but not as quickly as I would like. One of the things I've mentioned to the list is that my improvements in my finances have pretty much followed my thinking....which has been very frugal. I'm not having the tremendous and unexpected extra expenses come up anymore.....like they used to. I'm meeting all my obligations now, but my finances are still following my frugal thinking. Nothing has been happening on a grand scale....... and I think that is because my thinking has been very limiting. Yes, the huge expenses have stopped..... but I haven't been allowing huge money to come to me.......mainly because I want to limit it by controlling it. I do know that the things that I felt no attachment to .....and just casually wished for have manifested quickly and easily.....no limiting thoughts to hinder those manifestations. The good news is that I've had enough successes with manifesting, and read about the success of others on the list, and now, I'm noticing that my manifestations are less and less frugal, and more and more generous and abundant. Keep working on it. Find that place of feeling good. I've been listening to a lot of music lately......and get those vibes up. Writing and scripting and focus wheels help me a lot. I've also been playing the prosperity game. and I really enjoy that. Another thing I've found to be helpful is to script every day about my dreams and what I want from my life....... and self love and unconditional love. I'lve been doing that every day, and intend to keep it up for 30 days. EFT has helped me a lot too. Best of luck. Keep us posted. Think big, expansive, abundant, and generous thoughts. Love yourself!

Re: what is the meaning of "happy"?
Ilana Goldman
Pat asked for specific examples about situations when the same
thoughts can feel both good and bad. I wrote: When we are in a negative place LOA is going to offer usthoughts that match where we are. Because they are a match to where wethis level! Example: My child is noisy and I am getting annoyed and I am inspired to snap at the child and demand that she change her behavior. My response feels perfectly justified because it is a match to my feeling of annoyance and I may feel relief when she responds by stopping the noise. But my response was not a match to my desire to be an uplifter and an allower, and it is bound to feel uncomfortable on that level. The same thought or action can match one desire (which feelsAbe gave me once the following example: suppose I want a $100,000 by next week and a friend offers that I join him in a bank robbery. The thought robbing the bank is a match to my desire for money (that part feels good) but it may not a match to other desires that I hold, such as the desire for the approval of my loved ones, the desire to play happy roles in the experience of others, and the desire to stay out of jail... (these parts feel rather uncomfortable!) or it can matchThe thought money is like air it always flows in to replace whatever I spent is certainly a match to my desire and it feels very nice on that level. But if it is in contrast with my belief regarding my personal point of attraction, it may feel more like who am I kidding! which is not so nice. or it can match a belief (which feels good) andThe thought - I am going to volunteer to serve in the army may feel very good to one who believes that it is the honorable thing to do, but there is likely to be some discomfort as well due to the contrast with his desire for freedom and safety.

Re: Feng Shui

Hi Jon,
I totally agree with you that we create our own realities, and everything else, just a taking a pill or having surgery are ways we use to allow our wellness, so are all the rest of the things that you mentioned. BUT, 1/4 of earth's population has been using Feng Shui for thousands of years, maybe there's something to it and it can't hurt in the end anyway. I believe that Reiki can heal and so it does, I believe that water is good for me to drink so it is, I'm not really in to astrology but I have notices correlations in hind sight between things and that method has been used since we first began recording time. Just as Abe says, why throw away the modern advances we have made in technology, medicine, etc why also throw away some of the old methods? LOA has ALWAYS been it's Not a new thing. Everything is energy and if placing a water fountain in the far left hand corner of my room brings greater abundance then Great, if not I'll play the prosperity game more often. :D They are just tools, methods, things to play with, nothing more, nothing less. And if you're clueless about design it gives you a place to start. :D LOVE YA- Juls |

While each of us is the process of realizing just how unlimited our true nature is, we are attracting various knowledge, opportunities, ideas, reminders, that we are ATI that resonate with our IB. Eventually, we will be able to manifest our desires with a thought.........but until we reach the level of absolute knowing that this is so, it is perfectly healthy - and fun - to bridge "out" and bring the desired teaching, item, whatever, back "in". Since there is No Beginning and No End, thus, No Separation, we cannot be disloyal to our IB if we are acting in concert with it, and allowing the LOA to work its' magic in our lives! And part of partnering with our IB is expressing gratitude for the growth and wisdom we accumulate along the way which serves to RE-MIND us of who "I AM"! I think the point is not to allow any train of thought, person (read "guru"), place, or thing to take precedence over our knowingness of our place in ATI. If, indeed, this rings true to someone, they are operating from a desire to experience variety in their expression, to bring more knowledge of ATI to him/her. If the reverse is the case, then he/she is operating from a sense of lack. Th-th-th-that's ALL for now, folks! In Absolute Love, Joy, and Desire, Melissa-----Original Message-----

The Doo Doo Files
Carla DeMarco
On Monday, July 19, Susan James (whatever happened to Susan anyway?)
posted a shitty message to the group and shit flew in response. It was my second day on the list, and I was awe inspired. Wow! I thought! These folks know how to party! Everyone was havin' a shitload of fun, and coming to some astute realizations in the process. There was another thread going on at the time, too, about getting together for latte. The two were weavin' and dancin' together and astral confetti was flying through the Abe list.. After awhile - the next day I think - there was a letter of protest from a person on the list about the language and a letter from David saying he'd changed our classification so kids under 17 wouldn't read us. Since then, barely a fart has popped. Before I delete my trash bin, I wanted to preserve at least some of this fine day when I was so emphatically indoctrinated into the Abe list. When I realized there's a party going on in my computer. So, whether you're new and want a "taste" of what you missed (you'll see what I mean when you read the attached), or someone who read the thread before and just want one more chuckle, I present, with love and appreciation to the participants, The Shit Files. They may not all be in exact order, and I didn't get much in about the latte, and I probably missed some stuff, but I think you'll still be able to get a sense of how it all "went down."
