Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Caroline Myss and changing the past
Hi,
There's a technique (based on a tape) from where I work. Part of the preparatory process (meditation, creation, listening, whatever your intent) on each tape involves an "energy conversion box" into which is placed distractions, fears, hassles, limiting beliefs, hurts, whatever. In this exercise (and in meditative state), you go back to the box and either choose something that you remember you put into it (or allow the "thing" to bubble out of the box. The main point is that you're reconnecting with the history of the emotion that the thing/person/event has produced. So, if you have a fear of public speaking now, visit and reconnect with the pivotal experience regarding that. It may be remark that someone made while you were in a first grade play, maybe. And then "bubble" that emotion (and the baggage of the current fear) away. Can be incredibly liberating. Enjoy! Carol |

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] how to respond to others
Hi Diana,
One response you can give to your friends is: "It is going GREAT! I am in love with the most FABULOUS person ---- ME!!!!!" Not only will this get your vibration up (especially when you say it with passion!), it will startle them, bring a quizzical look to their face, and perhaps get some giggling going. I bet they'll even start saying, "Oh! Then I have someone I want you to meet." You may also find that when you have a great, fun response, that people either stop asking you, or stop asking you with that down-trodden tone in their voice. Instead they will ask from a place of excitement. Wishing you much magic attraction! Nina! |

Re: Food and weight and figuring it all out.
Juls,
Hey, I understand. I was there. :-) The reason I suggested the other regular stuff is because, if I remember correctly, you are on a deadline with Hunk Guy at Aussie Dog Training Class in your very near future. When I first found all this stuff, I was very in shape. Then I decided I wasn't going to exercise anymore because I didn't *want* to and it was all my creation so nothing would change, right? I went through a very arrogant stage. I had found *the key* to all. Well, wrong. I zoomed up to the 130's and stayed there. This is chubby on my frame. There were two exceptions: once when I fell head over heels in love and didn't eat, and once when I went traveling to a place where food was not as omnipresent. Both were high energy times, but mostly the high energy killed my appetite and made me more active. It was "Food, what's that?" It wasn't like had broken the laws of metabolism or anything. It was fun in the sense that I ate anything I wanted and no longer cared. It didn't bother me. I thought it was fun to be the only person I knew without food problems. But as time went on I had to admit that I wasn't doing certain things at that weight that I would if I were my old weight. I tried the Abe stuff but not with the consistency that I did later. And I also tried the normal way without the Abe stuff and *that* didn't catch. I was in between like you seem to be. Finally, one day, after a break, I said, "Look. I'm doing this Abe stuff with regard to this subject. I'm going to do it for real. All summer. I'm committed. If it doesn't work I want to know it was no fault of mine but because the stuff doesn't work so I don't ever have to bother with it again. I will follow any impulse I get because I'm tired of this." So I did it. I followed the impulses. Some of which were very normal things like eating regularly, getting out more. And..ta daaa...it worked. But I didn't break any laws of physics or anything. Still, it was a success. I found a new wall in the process (the whole DNA genetic beauty thing) but hey. So, how about that approach? Take a month or so, and do the Abe stuff so perfectly and follow *every impulse* you get--don't define the impulses because they are your IB telling you what you can handle and achiever your goal-- and if that doesn't work you can move on to a personal trainer or whatever. If it does work, (which it will) it's taken care of. Careen --- In Abraham-Hicks@y..., "Julia Pierce" <laughingpaws@m...> wrote: HI Careen,and it threw me for a loop.

Re: [Abraham-Hicks Juls jumping in to Re Prepaving vs. Time Lag
Julia Pierce
OK,
So Olivia I'm jumping in here for my own purposes for a moment. Why do I want to be thin? I want to be thin so that I can love the way I look in the mirror. So I can feel comfortable being naked in front of my mate and make wild, passionate, unihibited love, toss my head back, flex my back straight up off the bed, wear wonderful little teddies and Know that I look sexy and beautiful without a doubt in the world. So I can feel comfortable attracting a sexy and gorgeous mate to have wild, passionate, uninhibited love with. SO I can buy and wear glorious, stylish clothes, look great in an evening gown or just sexy in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. So I never have to worry every again about what people may be thinking about my body, like nice girl but she could lose some weight. Or Pretty face, if she lost some weight, she'd be gorgeous. So I can breathe comfortably all day while wearing clothes that fit properly. So I don't feel like I'm breaking some universal law when I eat desserts. So I can plain eat without guilt. So I can feel comfortable allowing my true essence shine thru without censoring my words and actions to make sure that they don't sound like Fat girl things. So I can feel comfortable flirting and not worry about sounding desperate like a fat girl. So that I don't have to think about food every again. So I can pursue my dreams and succeed on my own merit instead of wondering if it would be different if I was thin and going for the same things. So the image I see in the mirror is the same that I see in my head or even better. So that I can wear a little baby doll crop top and have a belly ring on a flat tummy, tank tops with spaghetti straps and shorts that come down just below my bum, cut offs, oh yeah, cut offs that show off my glorious legs and skirts with side slits in them. So I can buy clothes in regards to style instead of how much they cover up and if I have to hold my tummy in constantly to make the lines hang right or so I can breathe comfortably. So I never again in this life time have to wear a tummy tucker or control top pantyhose. So that for once I can be wanted not just for my mind, but also for my body. So that when I'm out with a man and his eyes follow a woman walking by, I will know that it's just out of curosity and not because she's better to look at than I am. TO wear bikini underwear or a thong and look Good in them. To wear a bikini To look good in lycra. So that I can wear a clingy dress and not a bulge anywhere to be seen So that when I do get pregant with our first child, I have to actually buy materinity clothes. So I can see my collar bones and have that little hollow at the base of my neck, visible cheek bones, vertebrate and those wonderful little hollows at the top of my thighs and can feel my hip bones. So I can wear my mates shirts and have them be big on me. So he can sweep me up in his arms and carry me to bed, easily. So that someone can call me 'a little slip of a thing' So I can tie my robe and look good in it at the same time. Why? Because I've never had it and that's reason enough. I MUST get some sleep now. Wags- Juls and Cordy-you are SO making WAY too much out of this, ya know. Says dog boy whose ribs show thru. |

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Re: Food and weight and figuring it all out.

HI Careen,
I agree with your friend, it's just that it they both came together and it threw me for a loop. And I understand what you're saying and I'm probably thinking about all of this too much, a couple of steps forward and then back a step kind of thing. BUT, since most people Believe that food and excercise equal body weight and health, then the whole dieting, excercising thing works for them. It's in line with their beliefs as it was with mine before I got in to Abe and some others and discovered that that wasn't true, which makes sense intellectually, and so now that a part of me believes that what I eat and how much I excercise doesn't have anything to do with it, what the HECK am I suppossed to do now? 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. It's pissing me off, basically. So, I need help to tip the scale in the direction I'm going and that's where I need some help. Does that make any kind of sense at all? Sorry, just got off a 14 hour bar shift and can't really remember how to spell my own name, so let me know if I'm not making any sense. Wags- Juls and Cordy |

Just Deserts...
Carol Meixsell
Dear Group,
Now look, everyone, this came from my sister (not an Aber) just today. With all the emails vollying about beauty, weight, etc. I had to think it was providence and that I should send it on. Some of it isn't Abe-ish exactly but I'm sending it for fun anyway. Let me know if you like it. enJoy...carol Life and Chocolate I have a new delightful friend, I am most in awe of her. When we first met I was impressed, By her bizarre behavior. That day I had a date with friends, We met to have some lunch. Mae had come along with them, All in all . . . a pleasant bunch. When the menus were presented, We ordered salads, sandwiches, and soups. Except for Mae who circumvented, And said, Ice Cream, please: two scoops. I was not sure my ears heard right, And the others were aghast. Along with heated apple pie, Mae added, completely unabashed. We tried to act quite nonchalant, As if people did this all the time. But when our orders were brought out, I did not enjoy mine. I could not take my eyes off Mae, As her pie a-la-mode went down. The other ladies showed dismay, They ate their lunches silently, and frowned. Well, the next time I went out to eat, I called and invited Mae. My lunch contained white tuna meat, She ordered a parfait. I smiled when her dish I viewed, And she asked if she amused me. I answered, Yes, you do, But also you confuse me. How come you order rich desserts, When I feel I must be sensible? She laughed and said, with wanton mirth, I am tasting all that's possible. I try to eat the food I need, And do the things I should. But life's so short, my friend, indeed, I hate missing out on something good. This year I realized how old I was, She grinned, I've not been this old before. So, before I die, I've got to try, Those things for years I had ignored. I've not smelled all the flowers yet, There's too many books I have not read. There's more fudge sundaes to wolf down And kites to be flown overhead. There are many malls I have not shopped, I've not laughed at all the jokes. I've missed a lot of Broadway Hits, And potato chips and cokes. I want to wade again in water, And feel ocean spray upon my face. Sit in a country church once more, And thank God for It's grace. I want peanut butter every day, Spread on my morning toast. I want un-timed long-distance calls, To the folks I love the most. \ I've not cried at all the movies yet, Nor walked in the morning rain. I need to feel wind in my hair, I want to fall in love again. So, if I choose to have dessert, Instead of having dinner. Then should I die before night fall, I'd say I died a winner. Because I missed out on nothing, I filled my heart's desire. I had that final chocolate mousse, Before my life expired. With that, I called the waitress over, I've changed my mind, it seems. I said, I want what she is having, Only add some more whipped-cream! Money talks. Chocolate sings. --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Find the one for you at Yahoo! Personals. |

For Olivia Re Prepaving vs. Time Lag
Carol Meixsell
Dear Olivia,
I'm not sure this is the answer you want but as soon as I read your email, this is what came to me. Pre-paving is a general term for seeing your way prepared for you. It can apply to a situation that is right now or one that may be longer in coming depending on your ability to allow. Pre-paving in the now, like getting on the freeway and having a safe trip, would be what Abe refers to as Segment Intending. Presumably, you don't really have many blocks about attracting those particular WANTS. When you are pre-paving for a more personal issue that in the past has been difficult in coming, of course, YOU CAN HAVE IT ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY ("lag" doesn't refer to days or hours), unless it is something you are (dare I say) "working" on because you have become aware that you are disallowing. Here's some material I've saved that may help: GUEST: My question is, is there a moment of enlightenment or a moment of, "Oh my gosh, I created this vortex, so let me create what I want," that you can turn around the situation in the moment? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ABE: Yes. Now, the first part of your offering, where we said you're living the balance of your thoughts. Now, thought is desire, that's thought. Thought as belief, that's thought. So let's say that you believe a piano is going to fall on your head but your desire to live long, healthy, happy experience is more dominant. And all of those thoughts are sort of mixed in there together, so what happens is, the lackful belief and the positive desire sort of mixed together and you sort of live a balance of the two. In other words, you don't live the extraordinary life of connection that is possible but you also don't live the life of wretchedness...in other words, you live the balance of those thoughts. What we've noticed with most of you is that you flow your Energy about 50/50 on most subjects, and that's why nothing really good or really bad happens to most of you. Then what happens is, it's an interesting thing, how you'll have a little thought about something, which will attract a little information, a bigger, bolder condition, and then, what happens next, depends on how you respond to that condition. The sooner that you recognize Step one, "know what I don't want," Step two, "identify what I do want," and Step three, "find the feeling place" [see footnote below], the more you are able to take that creative control in those life experiences. You see what we're getting at? [Footnote: For an idea on Step tree above (finding the feeling place) , see the quotes at the end of this excerpt.] GUEST: And is it the quicker the manifestation, is that also true? ABE: The manifestation, the speed of it, is about this. Now, yesterday, Jerry heard a little piece of a news broadcast where they were talking about a young person traveling at a very high rate of speed, and when he hit another car it broke that car in two pieces; the momentum was so powerful. And momentum is what we want you to focus upon. In other words, when something is moving very fast, it has more power. Now what happens with most of you is you start and stop and start and stop and start and stop. If you can see this Energy, this pure Stream of Nonphysical Energy and you see it flowing to you and you are open and allowing it all of the time, then it gains a lot of momentum. And with that momentum, powerful things are happening in your experience. But if you allow it and disallow it and allow it and disallow it and allow it and disallow it then you've slowed it. In other words, it's still happening, but it's not happening with the power. So the way you are able to monitor all of this is you can literally tell by the way you feel. And at the end of the day, if you say, "this was a great day," that's an indicator that you allowed your vortex to be open and a lot of that Energy was flowing. JERRY: .. So relative to her question, is there a way that no matter how much force we have going, either in the way we want or in the way we don't, as a result of pre-paving, in whichever direction, over a period of time, is there any point that we can actually stop it, right then, without having to slow it down -- and now go in another direction? ABE: Yes. That's what we were talking about earlier. If the desire was strong enough. In other words, if there was some facet of that desire that had not been implemented before, because the circumstance had not called it forth. In other words, the mother who finds her child, pinned beneath an automobile. Yesterday if you said, "Pick that automobile up and move it over there," it would not have been possible no matter how much money you offered her to do it. But today, with her desire to save her child, the desire is there and so is the clarity and the strength. And so, it has to do with the balance of your thoughts, doesn't it? It has to do with how much allowing or disallowing there is. JERRY: So, on one day, she says, "I don't want to hurt my back lifting something heavy," and the next day she's saying, "I want to save my child." So she says, "I don't- want," and she can't take the car off, but a "do-want", that's powerful enough, she can do anything? ABE: Always. JERRY: So, it would be acting always, somehow, from a "do want", somehow being able to change from a "don't want" to a "do want", in a moment? ABE: That is our message to you. When you are knowing what you are wanting, and what you are wanting is in harmony with your greater Source -- you are powerful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abe says somewhere at the beginning of the above excerpt: 碩he sooner that you recognize Step one, "know what I don't want," Step two, "identify what I do want," and Step three, "find the feeling place," the more you are able to take that creative control in those life experiences.' One of the ways Abe often suggests for Step tree above (finding the feeling place), is by asking yourself WHY you want what you want. Here are some quotes from them on this: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "When you talk about what you want and why you want it, it always brings you to your Center. It always brings you to the vibration of your Core, and when you vibrate in harmony with that which is the Core of you, then you have the perspective of your Inner Being. As you start talking about WHY you want to be over there, you'll vibrate as if you are over there. Then your vibration in your Now is the point of attraction, and over there comes here where you are and becomes your physical awareness. -- Abe, 2/13/93 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ". . .I want this thing because it gives me pleasure to think about it. I want this thing for the pleasure I can milk from it. . . " -- Abe -- L.A., CA, 3/4/00 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "As you ask yourself why you want it, the essence of your desire is activated, and the Universe begins to bring it to you. The more intense your positive feelings, the faster it is coming to you. (It is as easy to create a castle as a button)." --Abraham ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is not more difficult to create a castle than a button. Most of you have more buttons than castles, however, because they're easier to expect." Abe -- G-3/10/95 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ c Abraham-Hicks LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK...enJoy...carol Olivia Volmary <ovolmary@...> wrote: Here is something that I am a little confused on. How can "pre-paving" work (for ex: before you get on the expressway to go to work, you prepave for a safe, jam-free commute. Or, you pre-pave for a peaceful harmonious conflict free day at the office) BUT Abe says that manifestation is not instant and that there is ALWAYS a time lag; so how can pre paving work? I've always had a wierd feeling about "prepaving" and "how can it really work" b/c , there's no time lag there. Because - What you are prepaving for is going to be in the very next segment of your day. Can anyone clarify for me or tell me if Abe has talked about this? thank you!!

Blacktop
Re: pre-paving
Theres got to be pun in there somewhere.... Anyway cant find the exact Abe quote, but essentially it was something to the effect that, yes, there is a time lag, and, after you have pre-paved the first time on a subject, you might find a few bumps on the dirt road, but remember: you are 'pre' - 'paving'...the point being that the next time and the next that you go back to pre- pave on that subject, it will become smoother and smoother, because you have already PRE-paved, and so the road gets smoother and smoother and before you know it, you are riding on some pretty fine blacktop. dylan |

how to respond to others
Diana Gentrup
hey group,
I have a question about how to respond to others when they ask me about my love life. There isn't a love life right now and I would like there to be, I find that I can get a joyous vibration about what I want the next relationship to be like but when people ask me if I'm dating or how the love life is, the vibration drops and I think about the recent "almosts" and focus on why the last one had to end (it was good...they get better each time but there i wasn't getting all I deserve from it). So anyway, after people ask (and friends seem to be interested in my life), I feel the belief drop and the cork go under the water. Does anyone have a good response that I can give so that I don't drop the vibration and discuss the lack in my life? I appreciate their interest but, it gets old talking about it. Of course, it just hit me that my focus on it then draws the attraction of people asking me and the cycle continues....Stop the Insanity!! Suggestions???

Also, I do believe as we evolve (if we evolve, cause this is debatable, I believe some of us deevolve) anyway I do believe the features, we create for our form become more and more refined...like for example, even within this lifetime, the features change and soften and beautify...ALSO for example have you noticed that couples that have lived together for a long time start looking like each other...I have seen this dozens of times...even in my own FACE...I either become more beautiful or ugly depending on who I am with (ofcourse a pisces ascendant makes me more malable) but I do believe we have the ability to change our forms and faces to a certain degree...(if you remember an episode of X files there was a guy who could change form...and astral beings are always changing form...also even the movie with Robin Williams about the after life...and so on...I even believe our children LOOK like us, not because of DNA but because they see us all the time and take on the features...I have two girlfriends who have adopted children from babies and now as teenagers, I swear their kids look absolutely like them......

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Food and weight and figuring it all out.
Intellectually I understand that food, excercise, etc can't effect my weight but the flip side of that is that changing what I eat, how much I excercise my body, etc won't change my weight either and I Know that that isn't true. So, how can I change my belief, a belief held for some 20 odd years at least, to match my desire on this one topic?Hi, Juls ... It seems to me that now that you are asking, the Universe is giving you opportunities to change those beliefs. And, why is it that once I change my views or start to I get a whole lot ofI think it's because most of those beliefs you hold are dwelling in the subterranean depths of your subconscious mind. You have lived with them for so long that they feel normal and native to you. So you don't question them. It's like breathing or having two arms or whatever. It just is. So when you CHALLENGE those beliefs, it's like you become aware of them for the first time. They become REALLY obvious to you. You're like, Oh my God, have I been BREATHING all this time?! As I said above, I think they are really OPPORTUNITIES direct from the Universe. Everytime you get one, receive it joyously (as joyously as you can -- I know it feels like getting a lump of coal in your stocking) and say, "Thank you, Universe! Another opportunity to change an unwanted belief!" Then go into your mind and rescript the whole encounter. I was just "playing" (not working) through Lynn Grabhorn's Playbook and came across a meditation re: this subject (p. 90). She said, "Whatever you want to remove in life, love it." Okay so maybe you can't just force yourself to gush with love for the Strip Club Guy, but maybe you could start with something softer and then work up to love. For example, I feel compassion for him ... I think to myself, gee, he's got this wonderful woman at home, his life-partner, the woman he said vows to at the altar, and there she is at home, basking in the glow and the joy of pregnancy, carrying the baby they made together. Such a glorious time in both of their lives. So intimate, so profound, so joyous. And all he can see is her body looking fat? How sad. Then I think, hmmm, maybe their relationship isn't really that close. Maybe they are not that intimate. Maybe he's searching, trying to find that. Or maybe he doesn't even have a clue about intimacy and all he looks at is bodies. Either way, how SAD. So then I kinda feel sorry for the guy. I know at some level there has got to be a part of him that wants that connection with her, that knows that she is not Just a Body, that craves intimacy, that wants to share ALL of her, not just her body but her emotions and her spirit and her dreams and her laughter ... suddenly instead of seeing him as a sexist womanizing monster, I view him as lonely, lost, seeking ... and I care about him. I know, it feels like a REAL stretch (because I know EXACTLY what you mean when you say you were repulsed on So Many Levels -- because I was right there with you!), but as you continue thinking in this vein you can see how you could end up feeling love for the guy. Another way to approach this is to do as Lynn suggests and just work up a feeling of basking in love, and invite your "problem" -- whatever it may be, could be just the concept of Women as Objects -- and then surround it with that high-vibe feeling of love. As far as the "well-padded" comment, again, an opportunity. I'd play with it and rescript it in my mind. I always imagine myself sitting down at the movie theater, nibbling on popcorn, and on the blank screen I play it out the way I would have liked it to go. Like see him being AMAZED at how light and airy you feel -- see him picking you up with one arm, throwing you over his shoulder and bounding around the restaurant like a football player celebrating a much-needed touchdown.

Re: I'm confused/Prepaving vs. Time Lag
Olivia,
Here's my two cents on pre-paving... My friend & I were driving down the freeway and once again, someone cuts him off. He goes unto his usual tirad about how many jerks there are on the road, etc. I said, "Funny...when I'm driving, NOBODY cuts me off. As a matter of fact, people seem to go out of their way to be nice to me." (It wasn't always this way!) I see prepaving NOT as the ability it instantly manifest, but as a way to build a belief. There are those who say thing like..."I never get sick", "I am always on time", "I never gain weight", "Traffic just isn't a problem for me. I just always seem to luck out," "I work with the best people!" Or those who say..."I just can't seem to lose weight, no matter what", "I always get in the wrong grocery store line", "Nothing ever goes my way", "Why do I always have to work with idiots?" Start listening to the people around you. It's quite amazing to discover that they really are living their beliefs. THEN START LISTENING TO WHAT YOU SAY EVERYDAY. Those innocent little comments you make are YOUR beliefs. You can prepave in any direction. As always, the choice is yours.

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] I'm confused/Prepaving vs. Time Lag
There is still a time lag -- even if you are prepaving an easy commute before you get on the road. Perhaps you are presuming that the time lag must be very long -- like days or weeks. It could be minutes or even seconds. Abe sez that 17 seconds of focused thought is worth 2000 action hours, yes?

I prepave parking spots all the time, just before I need them. But there is always that little bit of time before I start looking. Here is something that I am a little confused on. How can "pre-paving" work |

[Abraham-Hicks] Re: Changing the past
Sometimes I think it's a very good idea to rescript the past. I have done it, and I've done it in a past life regression.
I understand that all we have is now, and we are moving toward the future, and that's the main focus. But sometimes, when I am scripting the future, unwanted images from the past come up. So I play with those images, those scenes, in my mind's eye. It helps. |
