The highest good and the Why Game

Dear friends

On the one hand it looked like none were playing the Why game with me this
week. Adrienne even suggested to let the 'why' drop along the way and then
offered her musings on the higher good addition to desire statements which
had the list buzzing for days on end.

I also observe the tendency to not commit to personal involvement when
tendering opinions. For instance the reasons for living were given as to
apply to all. We are here to experience or learn or grow or whatever. WHY?
WHY? WHY?

Is this my personal desire?
Do I want to experience?
Do I want to learn?
Do I want to grow?

Well not really! :)
Experiences often contain so much pain.
All definitons of learning don't appeal to me.
I'm tall enough as it is.
<grin>

My personal desires may contain a little bit of experiencing and I may have
to use hitherto unknown abilities (learn them first) to reach the goal and
something may grow in my life as I come into the vibrational harmony that
matches the desire.

To counter this tendency of generalizing my motives through the use of we
and they and whichever means I apply to not commit myself to myself and my
own desires I intend to apply the 'What does this mean about me?" and "Why"
technique during the coming days to everything I observe, read, experience,
think about or otherwise come into contact with. And if this is contrasting
then I want to find aspects that I can like about it.

I want to ask you a favour, too. When I post and within my posts go off on
an impersonal tangent will you please nudge me about that.

LIST CLASS #1 - Appreciation Games

#22329

Dearest Co-creators of the Abraham List Classes

Law of Attraction means that whatever matches vibrationally will be drawn
together. The Abraham workshops of Deliberate Creation have the subtitle
"Art of Allowing". Deliberate Creation is about reducing resistance and
increasing allowance. Appreciation is the first step and most powerful way
of training ourselves in taking our focus of attention/attraction from
things and experiences unwanted and coming into more agreement with who we
really are.

Here is a quote from Abraham that states this as well:
"That's why so many of us teach meditation. Because when you stop thought,
you stop resistant thought. When you stop resistant thought, then you let it
in. That's why we teach appreciation, because when you're in appreciation,
you are not in the mode of resistance, and you are letting it in.
North Los Angeles, CA -- 8/13/01 "

Thus it is fitting that the first lesson of the Abraham List Classes
contains three appreciation games.
We have already played the first appreciation game. It is the list of things
we love. How did you feel while hunting around for things that you love? Did
you also find much more to count into your list than the 10 things required?
If you were feeling better as you proceeded into this game, why not use this
process often in your life from now onwards? You could keep your list handy,
reread it often and add to it as you stumble over more and more lovable
items in your life. You could do this exercise every Sunday as a part of
your Connect to Spirituality Ritual.  If it feels good, do it. :) As I got
into the mood of finding 'lovables' I thought of creating a little
dictionary of lovables for myself, with as many items for each letter of the
alphabet as I can find. But this is only because I love creating booklets
and now I'm looking for pictures fitting the words/sentences and spending
hours of blissing out on what I love to do, too. Sorting words, scanning
pictures, doing the layout and eventually printing my booklet.<grin>

The second game is called "What do I like about this." It is also a
preparation for pivoting, besides giving us a stronger handle on the
potentially good part of issues and situations. Even if there is no official
class assignment for this game I would love to see from my co-creators at
least one list of "About (a situation, issue, person) I like ..." Take
something where it is easy to like a lot about it like butterflies or
rainbows. Start at the good feeling end of any stick and work yourself
higher up on good feelings. This game is also suited for playing when you
are waiting for something, on the road, in a queue, before a dentist
appointment...:)

The third exercise is the BOPA, the 'Book Of Positive Aspects'.  When I did
these classes a while ago I nearly broke down trying to do this exercise. To
find positive aspects for some people I know seemed impossible. Well, the
book is still there and I intend to invent at least one positve aspect for
each person listed. The assignment is to start your BOPA. How does it work
for you? If you get stuck, how did you manage to reach past your hang ups?
These are answers we others are looking for.

BTW, there is another little exercise you might want to commit yourself to.
During the day keep your mind open for instances of personal success and
each evening list at least five items for which you congratulate yourself
and five instances where you managed to feel good, appreciative or allowing.
Start your day with the intention of noticing these ten items and
remembering them until evening.

Now, if you haven't done so yet, go get the the Abraham List Class lesson #1
from Connees site and enjoy.

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Shaking off reality?

#20287

Hi Lex

I'm looking for practical tips on ways to quit allowing reality to
dictate my vibe.  It's a life-long habit that I would like very much to
replace with a better-feeling practice.makes me wonder who of us do not have this life long habit. <grin>

Any of the Abe techniques may work. For myself I love making lists and give
em a few hours and I'll have a lit list ready with reminders for myself to
allow more VR and to worry les about what I allow reality to do to
me.

And I'm starting with

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] the missing piece... the U

#23617

Hi Adrienne

Wonderful messenger of the U! :)

With the changes in my life looming higher with each passing day I have the
perfect opportunity to worry my head off about how I will be able to cope.
So many conditions need to be met for this whole situation to work out well
for all concerned on my side of the deal. And in the meantime manifestation
demonstrate how off the target I am and I'm getting all frustrated about
that, too.

And the First message this morning in the inbox is from you. :)

<snip>
... it's truly irrelevant
in what order or how they arrive, or how each will affect the other. The U
will handle all of that for me.<snip>
By focusing so
much energy on these things, I am in fact 'worrying' and mixing in lower
vibrations because I'm not just letting the U take care of it.So it is back to lesson #1 and #2 and #3 and #4 ... and to the summary of
the lesson for the coming week and to following any good feeling thoughts
for me.

And the new lesson is about the Placemat Process, which I love and which
seems so approriate at this moment.

See you all a little later with the summary.

And thanks Adrienne for this wonderful start into this wonderful Sunday.

LIST CLASS #7: The Placemat process

#23622

Hi wonderful deliberate Co-Creators and journey-people of the Art of
Allowing

When I read about the Placemat process the first time it really took away
all my joy in list-making. And then I realized that the frustration of
list-making was also gone. Now I do my lists in a different way and still
have the joy but none of the pain.

Before I used to make these to do lists and then kept myself busy with
actions that were not listed. Small wonder that I was frustrated when I was
tired - from resisting what I had initially planned to do and from being
active in avoidance tactics all day - and still have all or nearly all the
Do To things on the list uncrossed.

With the Placemat Process I can still make lists to my hearts content. I can
add, on the Universe's side, so much more than I would have previously when
I still had to consider what I could or would be able to do within the time
given. And I can stop adding those things I don't really want to do, the
should do and supposed to do things.

Marcy offered a wonderful basic Plaemat Process list a few days ago.
On our side of the list she puts: breathe in and breathe out and everything
else goes on the other side. When things or activities are listed on the U's
side it does not meant that we may not take action.

I had 'Clear the office floor' on the U's side this morning and somewhere
along the line I found myself in the office, picking up things and
eventually vacuuming the cleared space. :)

With my personal situation the way it seems at the moment I'm putting
everything on the U's side.
A wonderful solution with:
A way to live well.
A great place to stay for us.
A peaceful unentanglement
Relaxation
A wonderful Christmas time
People and things and activities that draw life-energy through me

And on my side I have:
Imagine millionaire properties and aspects as per Susan James' instructions.
:)
drawing VRs
BOPA

And I'm preparing a dozen or so Placemat papers with lines and all to put
next to my bed for the following days to be included in my waking up ritual.

Remember to have fun with this.

To be or not to be ... focussed on reality

#20303

Hi All-owers

Abraham has told us often to:
"Never face reality if it is not the way you want it to be."

"Observe less and dream more"

"Good feels good and bad feels bad"

"Everything that happens in your experience is about the vibration you've
set up."

"Reality is only a brief moment in time you keep repeating"

"Be happy where you are and recognize it as a place to stand from which to
move forward."

"Dream your dream purely, don't face reality. And take maximum joy with
whatever you have so far."

And time and again the message is to be grateful for the contrast we
perceive because contrast is needed to conclude preferences from.


Thus, if I perceive contrast within my reality I try to remember for myself
that
a) This is only a snapshot of how I'm vibrating - and I/it can change any
moment - It is only a result of my vibrational mix - and I can change my
vibrational output by looking for anything/any thought that feels better. I
don't have to stay with my attention fixed on what I perceive but I can do a
30 Second VR fun experience. (and another, and another, and another ...:))
b) It does not really matter :)
c) To which part of this perceived/observed reality can I say YES? (Book of
positive aspects)
d) What could a parallel reality look like? (dream or desire)
e) What is a "Positive What if" I could find in this reality?
f) If I could love myself in this situation what would I do for myself? How
would I be loving to myself?
g) "Thank you situation for showing me something about my vibration that is
not allowing" "What would allowing feel like instead?"
h) If I had what I desire, what would that give me? And if I had that, what
would that give me? ... following the thread until I come to the core of my
desire - which most of the time is to be happy. In a way this is the "Why do
I want what I want" process Abraham has told us about.
i) Do a Place Mat with "pet a cat" on my side and "everything else" on the
Universes side of the line.
j) Remember that I'm too hard on myself, when I'm not letting it in.
k) Segment intend to feel good for one minute at a time (or 30 seconds with
a VR :))

Thank you for letting me ramble on. It helps me so much to allow more
relaxation within my own perception of reality.

Be well and L(ots)o(f)L(ove)

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Small Manifestation?

#20328

Hi All-owers

This morning, before going to my work place I mentioned to you the contrast
I'm experiencing there which involves a radio playing.

When I arrived there shortly afterwards, it was quiet in the office and the
radio has been taken out of the office. :) Is this a manifestation, or not?

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Caroline Myss and changing the past

#14025

Hi Wayne and others

Denise Lynn in her book 'Past Lives, Present Dreams' proposes to 'CHANGE IT"
on page 125.
I quote: "I find the most powerful technique to resolve an uncomfortable
past life memory is to change the circumstances of your past life until it
feels comfortable or enjoyable. I believe that you can actually change the
past; but if this is too much for you to accept, then imagine that you are
changing the images that are stirred in your brain. As you change those
stored images in your brain, imagine you are changing the associated
limiting beliefs."

Even if we accept that all 'lives' are NOW, this could be a powerful way to
'change' the past. And the present and the future, too. :)

This would also apply to 'past' experiences in this life. In this context
I'm reminded of an Abe quote "Nothing has any meaning except the meaning we
give it." If we can pivot from perceiving/remembering an experience as
undesirable to something along the line of, "This experience was the best
that could have happened to me." this would give us so much freedom from
pains and hurts and judgements.

A technique to use could be the Abe process of Scripting. Instead of writing
a script about a future we would like to experience we could write a script
about a past we would like to have experienced.

Whatever I do it will always be something to assist me to find and follow my
bliss. <smile> And it is never to late to have a blissfull childhood.

Warmest

Subject: [Abraham-Hicks] Caroline Myss and changing the past

Thanks to the person who gave me the correct spelling.  It is
Caroline Myss being spoken about below.

Now can someone tell me which book/cassette she speaks about changing
something that has occurred in the past by creating a new story about
it.  This was stated from the previous message quoted below.

While we're sort of on the subject of changing the past, does Abraham
have anything to say about this.  I have several Seth books but have
not read them.  But I have read several books by Lynda Madden Dahl,
which are about Seth's teachings.  In her book, "Ten Thousand
Whispers: A Guide to Conscious Creation", the last chapter titled
"Time Sculpting" sounds like they are saying it can be done.  I have
looked up her references to the Seth books and she is telling it as
it was said by Seth.  In some parts of the chapter, she is just
talking about changing ones feelings about the past, but in other
parts it sounds like the past can be changed from the spacious
present.

All opinions and thoughts welcome,
Wayne.

Re: Question: you were sure you were going to get something then...

So, when I saw my own story in yours, it made me wonder...aboutvibration, which exists outside of time. Do we create "outside" of
time. Abraham speaks of this as true: we can create "instantly" or
take some amount of time. Can that time be past as well as future?
Carolyn Mace (that's the pronunciation--I forget her spelling) speaks
of how we can "go back" and change something that has ocurred in the
past by creating a new story about it now.

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] dynamic laws of prosperity

#23686

Hi Adrienne

Giving the tenth promotes our prosperity vibration when and if it is done
with the attitude/knowledge fo "There is more than enough and I can freely
give away some of what I receive and don't need to know or control where it
goes to." This would be like a reflection of the abundance of the Universe
in my personal life. And it really does not matter where this tenth goes to.
You could put it in an envelope and leave it on a bench in the park. You
could mail it to any address in your town. You could hand it to the next
street child you meet. As long as it comes from the vibration of 'There is
more than enough.'

massive issues

#14042

Sweet Juls, Carol, Ann Marie and Allowers

When I said that food intake, body format and exercise are not really
related in a causal way I meant that in the way as Ann Marie stated it. And
for myself I seem to get nearer to the understanding that work and income
have the same non-existant relationship, too. :)

This brings me to a quote from Abe (paraphrased), "As long as I am unhappy
about where or what I am I can't move to where or what I want to be."

For myself this means, get into a place of feeling at ease about where and
what I am. Let it go, forgive myself if necessary, take away judgements
about the issue, pivot on this in whichever way I can manage to.

LOL - shall I try to say for myself; "It's good to be poor!" until it is no
issue any more? Could you try to reach a position of saying, "It's good to
take up a lot of space in this reality." until it is no issue any more.
Well, since I am more on the count the vertebraes from the front I have to
go about weighty issues in a devious and roundabout way. <grin>


Then the rocket of desire can also shoot off. :) This is for me the
searching for how it would feel to be in the other place and enjoying that.

The last step would be to not DO anything to reach that place until it feels
natural to take action. For instance not to go on any diets or do exercises
to reach the place but to eat whatever tastes just right at any given moment
and to move at ease all the time in the frame of body images and for
abundance issues - listen up Ulrike! :) - do whatever is the next thing to
be done, doing the dishes, write an email, think about the next book, sew
some and not connect that to possible income streams in my mind.

two souls

#14074

Dear Juls

You wrote
"I mean part of me believes that
food and excercise make the difference and part of me doesn't and it seems
like the two cancel each other out and I stay right where I am.  "

This sounds so very much familiar. Like the one part of me that believes
that painful work and income are related and part of me doesn't. :)

What I am doing now is getting these two parts into communication.
I'm getting two dolls sitting on two chairs looking at each other. One is
the 'face harsh reality' part of me and the other is the 'dreamer'.

When I did this for the first time many years ago on another issue it was
called "Gestalt".

You could get a cuddly Teddy on the chair for the fat Juls and a Barbie on
the other chair for the slim Juls.

To start with I'll take the position of the Dreamer (sit on the chair and
take Dreamer on the lap and be Dreamer) and now I'm asking the other "Who
are you and what do you want?"
Now I'm switching to the other. Sitting on that chair and becoming "Harsh
Reality" and I answer "I am the beggar who hated to live on charity. I am
the inability to DO things and be useful. I want to be loved and accepted,
even though I cannot earn a living. And I am also the poor dumb and blind
soul who was unjustly put in jail because nobody understood the sign
language. I want justice!" and as 'Beggar' I now ask the 'Dreamer', "Who are
you and what do you want?"
I switch back to the other and reply, "I am Hrastis who searched for and
found immortality and I am the redheaded Russian who left his comfortable
life to follow his beloved into the wilds of Canada for the bliss of being
together. I want to be able to let go of all worldly things again and just
be."

As facilitator of this communication process I now get the parties to
understand what each could do for the other. I let Hrastis ask the Beggar
what she can do for him and I let the Beggar ask Hrastis what he can do for
her. And I go on with Exercise this until I have a viable solution to my
dilemma. Btw the four figures are what I remember from other lives and I
haven't managed to feel comfortable with any of them yet. :) Doing this
exercise is for me also a way of rewriting my 'past'. <grin> Who knows how
this may affect my future.  :)

Thanks for reminding me of this process again.

Be well

all hell breaks loose

#14090

Hi Allowers

Can any of you remember the conversation with Abraham when they responded to
a question about: "Why is it that all hell breaks loose when one starts to
apply the principles of LOA?"

This is something I read in a Quarterly many years ago, and somehow the
physical reference (the booklet) went missing in my life. :)

As I remember it the response was in the line of, "As you start to think in
the new way the old way (old beliefs) gets all mixed up and upset and shows
up en masse to kind of try and convince you that the OLD way is right and
the NEW way couldn't possibly be of any value."

It is as if the subliminal doubts come out of hiding and become very much in
your face doubts to be pivoted on.

I'd love to read again what Abraham said about this and their advice on how
to pivot and hold on to the feeling good place of pivots, or whatever.

<grin.

LeonaHi Leona and all,

I set up this list on Onelist to reserve the name there, and also, to find like minds that search for a mail list for the Abraham Teachings.  The active list itself  (the one you are receiving email from), is on LSoft, ...not Onelist. Onelist is the largest email listserv in the world, and is free.  (It gives advertisments out
to pay for it.) The LSoft email list is paid for by me personally, and only it cost me $29.00 per month.  I am happy to pay that for a commercial-free list with many other features not on Onelist.

On your digest question, LSoft does have a digest.  If you want that, email me PEM, and I will set that for you, although you can do that yourself also with a command to the Listserv address.

On the archives, I store them on my own machine.  Just ask and I will forward whatever dates to you.

Hope this helps.  There are quite a few on this list now, which is why I responded to the list, as you had made a list post here.


In love,
david.
