Yes, I think somewhere in my focus
I must have been coming from a vibration
that was not totally positive.
Maybe I too was not offering the thought from
a vibration of abundance, but from lack.
In addition to not see clearly all 6 numbers
being correct. This would explain my $2.00 winnings!
LOL
Thanks for the insight,

actions?

Dear Liz,

How can I block delivery of what I want from the U?
Let me count the ways,
or at least show some examples. Abe sometimes refers
to it as "that thing
that I do."

You may be a ping pong ball: Dear U, give me a
vacation in Tahiti! [Tahiti
desire] That's silly, the U couldn't possibly give
me a vacation to Tahiti.
I don't even have a passport, let alone a vacation
wardrobe. And who would
watch my kids? [No Tahiti] But, I really, really
want a vacation in Tahiti.
It's so beautiful there! [Go, Tahiti!] But, I
would hate to have to be on
a plane so long! Especially with this terrorism
thing. [No Tahiti] But, I
could get my writing off the ground if I were in
Tahiti! I would be so
inspired to write my novel! [Tahiti] But, I wonder
what illnesses people
get in Tahiti! I mean, like it's a really foreign
country. And maybe
tourists are a real target for the local mafia!
[Never mind that nobody's
ever said that Tahiti has a mafia -- It still tells
the U why you don't want
Tahiti.]

Or maybe you don't believe you "deserve" to have
this thing: I really,
really want to vacation in Tahiti, experience the
incredibly gorgeous
beaches! Laze in such a spot of beauty. But, I
don't deserve that. Why
should I be the one to get to go to Tahiti? I'm not
that good of a person.
If I were a really good person, I wouldn't even want
a trip to Tahiti. I'd
want to stay home and be a really good mother and
advance in my job. I've
never done anything to deserve such a wonderful
trip.

As Dr. Phil says, "What is this behavior getting for
you?": I would love to
have a vacation in Tahiti! But, I couldn't possibly
leave my aging neighbor
to cope by himself. He relies on me to take hot
meals to him each day.
[Ever heard of Meals on Wheels?] And, I have to be
the one to drive the car
pool everyday. I mean, those other parents have no
sense of responsibility!
And, if I left the kids with my mother, why, she
doesn't even iron their
clothes before they go to school! I never want my
kids to be embarrassed by
wearing wrinkled sweats in gym class! My boss would
be totally ineffectual
if I weren't there to take care of all the last
minute work that he throws
at me. No, no Tahiti for me! [whine, whine, whine
-- I'm such a martyr!
Everyone needs me. They'd be lost without me.
Therefore, I am a wonderful
person!)

I really don't believe the U can deliver: I really
want this wonderful
vacation to Tahiti, U! I'll have such fun!
Thoughts to self: This is
silly. The U doesn't even know I exist. And, if it
did, it can't go around
delivering things to people. What an absurd idea.
I know that I get the
perfect parking spot every time now, but that's just
a coincidence. And
getting those free tickets to Paul McCartney's
concert was just a fluke --
it wasn't because I sent out a lightning bolt of
desire. The U certainly
did not take that policy I needed from wherever I
had put it and place it on
my bed! It must have been with other papers and
fallen on the bed.

I can't get things unless I work for them: It's
always been my dream to go
to Tahiti! It's what I want to do someday. But, I
don't see how I'll ever
be able to afford it. My job just doesn't pay much.
But, I'm not qualified
to do anything else. I've saved and saved, but
something always comes up
that I have to fix and there goes my savings. I put
money into the stock
market and it's now worth less than I paid for it.
I don't even play the
lottery because I never win things. I must have
been born under an unlucky
start. Nobody in my family's ever been wealthy, so
I'll never get an
inheritance. And if some stranger left me money, I
wouldn't accept it!
That would just be wrong! Maybe I could work a
second job for the money
because nobody else is ever going to help me. I've
had to work hard for
every thing I've ever gotten, and that's just the
way the way life is!

Keep improving what I wished for: I really want a
vacation in Tahiti! The
blue seas, the sandy beaches, the four star hotel,
lazing on the sand and
drinking pina coladas. [Go] No, not pina coladas.
There must be some
local drink. Yeah, that's what I want -- local
cuisine! [Stop] The other
people there will be super friendly and relaxed.
We'll really hit it off.
I may even meet an interesting man. [Go] But, I
need to lose ten pounds
before I would feel comfortable starting a romance
with someone new. I
guess I'll have to diet for a few months before I
could go. [Stop] I can
just see myself -- laying under a palm tree, totally
relaxed, reading a
romance novel! Wearing a red sarong over my
swimsuit. [Go] No, not a red
sarong. A blue one would look better! And do I
want to wear flowered
sandals or gold sandals? [Stop] [The U can't
deliver what you want if you
keep changing your mind. The U starts delivering
the package, complete with
pina coladas. You send it back because you want
local cuisine. The U sends
the package, but with local cuisine. You send it
back, asking for the
additional friends and that special someone. The U
sends a new package, to
be delivered after you'e dieted for a few months and
lost ten pounds. You
return the package because now you want a palm tree,
a romance novel and a
red sarong. The U adds all of your requests and
sends you the new package.
You get the idea. <grin>]

So, Liz, what is "that thing that you do?" Maybe you
do more than one of
them? Me, too. But, once you know what it is, you
can stay alert and as
soon as you see yourself doing that thing that you
do, you can stop doing it
and start vibrating on a new vibe! (pivoting)
Sometimes I just tell myself
to vibrate on a vibration that attracts whatever it
is that I want. As long
as I believe, it works!

Good,Good, Good Vibrations!

Kathaleen ;-)

So often I will read a post that is valuable and true. It obviously

Then, at the end, the writer adds something like "just my 2 cents" or

anything." My question is, why have they just discounted the power of
their connection with this humility thing?

What if at the end of an abe workshop, instead of "WE ARE COMPLETE" we
heard "Just our 2 cents"????????????????

Let's give ourselves and our communications the dignity they deserve.
This IS the fun part.
=================
hi Catherine,

I'm one of those who like the 'just my 2 cents worth'. if you think it
is obviously from someone's ib and it rings true for you, that's
great!!! but maybe that ib is humble and thinks humility is fun too?
just a thought!!!

makes me giggle a little bit, because I never expected consciously to
see anyone address the 'issue', which is a non-issue for me, and I have
to have fun with non-issues....not, of course, that I don't have my own
'issues', one of them being pointing out what is a 'non issue'.
lol....maybe this doesn't have anything to do with anything....

so, what if they did end a workshop that way? I'd bet they'd be smiling
as they said it, and I'd also bet the workshop had something to do with
perceptions, and the ending was the punch line.

just a fun junkie here, with absolutely no sense of dignity.....

well, that's my 2 cents worth.

love you

Patrick

bit of advice here please.

I have been waking up recently with a great sense of grief. Very full sense
rolling through me as though someone has died. No dream can't find the
thought at all just the sense of grief. | move on from it after a while and
can get quite happy and vibed up but relentlessly it returns when I am tired.
It doesn't seemed to be tied to conscious thought but when look in the
mirror at myself when I feel like that I see me as bereaved. VR work does not
help in fact it is quite irritating.
Anyone with suggestions thank you dear friends.

Joy

Hi everyone: My name is Dana, and I've been reading and lurking quite happily for the past few months since I first encountered Abraham. I attended the workshop in the Philadelphia area in May, and I was completely floored by the information and the love with which it was delivered.

I am moved to write tonight because I had a difficult experience today. This evening after work I was in the process of dropping my daughter off at marching band practice, and got into a nasty car accident. Everyone walked away, but I was quite shaken by the experience. My car is a mess, and will need some major work at the very least. I'm not sure if there is anyone at fault; my guess is that both drivers (me and the other guy) will share responsibility/liability.

However, I was wondering what I could have been vibrating to invite this experience in. Especially since I had both my kids in my car! I then remembered that I have been using the Placemat Process in the mornings, and I have been giving the Universe my list of things It needs to take care of for me. Today I added for the first time "the right and perfect car". I can't say whether this simple act created the wreck that occurred this evening, but it's an interesting coincidence.

This is powerful stuff.

Still processing...

Dana

Can we talk more on this allowing thing? When Abe says we are not allowing 'it' to come into our lives is he only referring to material things or is he also referring to people or conditions (health, moods)?

When Abe says we are not allowing, they mean that we are not allowing Source Energy (AKA All That Is/Well-Being/God/Bliss/Universal Forces --
whatever you want to call it). Everything we want comes from this Source Energy -- so when you align with it, you magnetize everything you want.

Think of "Star Wars". It's the FORCE! That's what you want to align with. It's a force of total well-being, joy, love, all the good, yummy, delicious, happy stuff and none of the bad.

In that event, being specific about wanting a certain person to come into your life would be against the others free will, where as if you state you would like a certain 'type' of person to come into your life then you can allow for that.

You can't do anything against someone else's free will because it's an attraction-based universe. There is no such thing as assertion. What that means is, unless the other person is attracting what you are vibrating, you will NOT rendevouz with that individual. You just won't. So you can't hurt anyone so there's nothing to worry about.

Isn't that liberating?

I've been asking for something, and it seems to be creeping to me. Therefore I must not be allowing it, but I'm unsure as to how I'm not allowing it, what is blocking me? My thoughts? My actions?

Your thoughts and emotions. That's what your vibration is. It's incredibly powerful! Most of us vibrate "all over the place" --
stop/start/stop/start ... on/off/on/off ...

In other words, "I want THIS," (on) "but I can't have it," (off).

If you can spend some time every day focusing on vibrating purely in alignment with what you want -- you will start to see a bigger shift. It doesn't take long -- just 5 or 10 minutes a day consistently for a period of a few weeks or a month. If you do that, you will see a shift. Every time I have ever done it, I have always seen massive changes.

Just promise yourself that you will spend time every day imagining what you want is already yours. Or just not thinking about what you want at all but feeling really really good -- like you would feel if you had it.

If you are unsure about how to do this ... or thinking to yourself, "Aren't I doing this already?" Ask yourself, what is my dominant vibration re: this subject? Is it unhappiness, doubt, worry, sadness, frustration? Or is it excitement, joy, passion, exuberance, fascination, wonder? Note what your dominant vibration is on the matter, just so you know where you are starting from.

Then toss that out the window. Erase the blackboard in your mind and decide what you WANT to feel about it. And imagine THAT every day for 5-10 minutes a day. Let yourself really FEEL it, full on, 100%. Just completely and totally GO there. Don't worry if it hasn't happened yet --
during those daily 10 minutes, all you have to do is pretend.

And not just intellectually -- emotionally, physically, like you are riding the rollercoaster in your mind and you REALLY REALLY REALLY feel it.

Then just WATCH what begins to transpire. It'll knock your socks off.

Ann Marie

PS: Oooh -- I just gave myself goosebumps. This is the exact posting I was needing to read today -- and I just wrote it! LOL!!

The most important thing is how you feel. If it makes you feel good to think about what you want, then do that. If it makes you feel good to not think about them, then do that.

You do not need to see all of the details. The Universe already knows what you want.

Since it is a vibrational universe, it's all about attracting what you want through your vibration, or your emotions.

So it's all really just about feeling good and then sitting back and letting stuff come to you. You don't have to do anything other than that.

Ann Marie

Sometimes I just tell myself to vibrate on a vibration
that attracts whatever it is that I want. As
long as I believe, it works!

This is awesome! I wonder/worry sometimes what vibrational level I should
be at to attract what I want (higher? lower?) - this totally eliminates that
question and makes it just a fun game again.

Yes, yes, yes! This is TOTALLY awesome. Very very clever!!!! I so often forget that I can ask for help in ways like this. As Abe always tells us, "You make too much of all of this." What if it is a whole lot easier than we think?!

I am going to go home and do this tonight.

Thanks, Kathleen -- you ROCK!

I recently read the book "Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting" and I'm still somewhat confused about the creative process. Should I do a daily meditation on the things I want in life, or just think about them and produce the positive emotions associated with the images? Do I need to see all of the details? What would you say has worked best for you in manifesting the things you want in life? Thanks for the suggestions.

Well, I can hear the voice of Ester,
speaker for Abe, saying,
"you must get clear about what it is you want".
This is on many tapes.
If the Universe already knows what I'm wanting,
then why would Abe say "get clear on what you want".
I believe it's even on the 1st or 2nd tape
about the Law of Attraction or on Deliberate Creation.

So maybe Abe has stated a couple of things that
contradict each other.......

I don't feel Abe has made any contradictory statements. I think sometimes
we haven't gotten a complete understanding of what they've said (one of the
BIG reasons I love this list - so very helpful for me in getting clarity/new
insights).

To me the reason for encouraging us to be clear about what we want is so
we'll feel excited about it - be in joyful anticipation of it.

I have noticed with my own desires sometimes I'm totally vibed up without
being specific. Other times I put a lot more into it - lots of details,
etc. - and when I do that it's usually because I'm having such a good time
doing it (and that's what it's all about - right? ;0) )

Somewhere Abe said to be specific/detailed as long as it feels good. The
instant it no longer feels good switch to something else. Talking to others
who have attended recent seminars, isn't that a new game Abe is helping us
play - switching quickly from one VR to another, keeping a consistently high
vibe going?

It's all good.

In Joy,

Lee,
I'm a storyteller. I tell all kinds of stories, from "front of the seat stories," in which the audience is listening actively, laughing, sighing, joining in when appropriate (and sometimes otherwise), to "back of the seat stories," which tend to put the listeners into a light trance (these are the terms of storyteller Doug Lipman). In the latter, I can't tell where the audience is because they are so deeply in the story. They don't show their feelings on their faces then--they even look bored, but they don't move a muscle, don't shift in their chairs, don't blink their eyes. When I am really connected to the Source, the performances of either type are magic. Sometimes I'm only partly connected, and the performances are still good but not as powerful.

The stories I tell are not all sweetness and light. Conflict/contrast is inherent in stories, as in life. If I look at the stories I am drawn to tell (yes, stories choose me as much as I choose them), I find that the underlying themes are the same: hope, love, courage, self-worth, good humor, triumph, good choices. Oh, and most are laced with humor--I love to see people laugh.

I know the feeling of connection when I'm writing stories to tell--I feel myself saying "yes, yes, yes, this is right!" Sometimes I discover the rightness of a story in the process of putting it on paper, sometimes as I talk it out to myself as I walk around my house, sometimes only in the process of telling in public. Because I tell the same stories over and over (I have about 150 in my head), each telling is different, because each audience is different.

It's a true marvel when I pull out the perfect story for the audience, following my intuition. The right story will hit the listener that needs it at the right time. My Inner Being, with its broader wisdom of the world, will tell me which story to choose, and if I'm tuned in, I'll get it. Once, years ago, I was telling stories to 7th graders. I happened to mention to my therapist a week later that I'd had this gig. She said, "I know, because I have a client who was in the audience, and she told me the entire story of _____." I had no idea.

For young children, I use puppets. This is often a form of improvisation--my main puppet Trixie, an obnoxious old woman (111 years old, she claims), says the most ridiculous things, usually unplanned by me. The big rule in improvisation is "Say yes!" And this works in life as well.

I spent the last week at the National Storytelling Conference in Denver. I was sick all week with a throat virus, which seemed to me to be a direct consequence of my telling people before I went that I usually need to go back to my room to rest after intense time with my colleagues. On two days I carried a sign saying "I'm practicing the fine art of listening (I have a sore throat)." Very interesting not to talk in the midst of all these professional gabbers, being one myself. It was so funny to have people whisper, sign and mime at me! The conversations I did have one-on-one with my storyteller buddies were fabulous, worth the entire price of the conference.

I'm not sure I actually answered your question, but thanks for letting me babble. That's what happens when I have to stop talking out loud for a while!

Hi Pen...In my understanding ( for me) they are saying to get clear on the
vibration offered....of course I agree if seeing details helps clarify the
vibe...then that works! For me it hasnt always been necessary. Sometimes I
have known exactly the details and when I get this...yes, it feels very good
to imagine and play with such visions and desires. Saying...I want a new red
car with a vibration of ..because I hate my old green car ...is what is not
clear...the emotions are mixed. Or saying I want money because I have so
many bills .
I feel more clarity with a focus on the emotion, for example...freedom,
happiness, abundance, passion, excitement... without so much emphasis on
how its gonna show up...and was saying that this yields exactly the desired
outcome with perfection regarding the teensiest details. I know how I want
to FEEL! I do believe that we have individual desires that help us in how
and where we would like to flow energy in a particular way....but whether Im
sitting blank and vibrating feeling good/happiness, or whether Im seeing in
great detail, designing my life and feeling good....the U is going to match
the energy expressed and bring me what is perfect for me.
" I feel good" ....is clear to the U...and it will match with more! I
agree with you wholeheartedly on "to each his own"...whatever works is good!
And it is as we each believe. Yes, it feels very good to me that the
Universe/God/Higher Self always knows what I am wanting.

Well, I can hear the voice of Ester,
speaker for Abe, saying,
"you must get clear about what it is you want".
This is on many tapes.
If the Universe already knows what I'm wanting,
then why would Abe say "get clear on what you want".
I believe it's even on the 1st or 2nd tape
about the Law of Attraction or on Deliberate Creation.

So maybe Abe has stated a couple of things that
contradict each other. The sentence that felt right
for you was that of the Universe already knowing...
the sentence that felt right for me was that of being
clear about what I want.

When you are scripting or doing VB, this is not a
vague process. You are writing/seeing in great detail
which brings up emotion and good vibes/feelings.

What's that game Connee has on her web site about 52
seconds (or some amount of seconds)? How would that
game work if you just sat there for 52 seconds and
said, OK Universe, you know what I want... give it to
me. OK Universe, you know what I want...
Over and over for 52 seconds.

So do what feels right for you, but for me,
visualizing what I want in detail, like it already
exists (another thing Abe says to do), is my way of
creating and allowing.

So, while I thank you for your opinion Ann Marie,
if you re-read my post, you'll see it says,
"my lesson from this..."
Your reply stated:

So I don't believe the problem is with us not

being specific enough.

I did not say "us". I said "my".
I was just sharing the lesson I got out of it.
(not that I don't have work to do on allowing...)

Thanks for your reply,
Pen

I agree with Ann Marie. When I was "creating" my
relationship...the perfect
mate for me....I did not have one thought about
anything other than how I
wanted to feel when we were together. At the time,
it just didnt occur to
me because I was so focused on the emotional aspect.
Other than that I
offered nothing. But when he appeared, he was so
many things that I
adored....the perfect height, build, interests,
tastes....all bundled up in
one scrumptious package. yumyumyum. The most
clever thing though was that
he was only 22 and still like to skate-board,
boogie-board, do wheelies on
bikes and such....a real "kid" still.....Which was
unbelievably PERFECT ,
even though I had never thought about that....but I
had a 6 year old son at
the time who longed for an father who would get
down and play with him!
This was even better....a stepfather who was still
playing himself!
Now that my son is 17 and my husband 33 they're into
the same alternative
music and have basically grown up as pals together.
The
Universe...God....Collective Consciousness....KNOWS
how and what to
deliver..down to every last detail, even better than
we can imagine !
Sometimes we get the details before- hand and its
just a great joy to know
and feed our creative process...but not a necessity
for receiving
perfection.
Trust!

Well guess what.... I won! BUT (there's always a

but), I only got 2

numbers right, so I won a whooping 2 dollars!

LOL I had to laugh out

loud because the Universe did give me what I

asked for. I did win the

lottery, just not the biggest prize... the top

jackpot.

So my lesson from this, BE SPECIFIC! When I

think about the PT, I was

very specific and I use that experience to

pattern future creations. I

keep re-living it, and looking for what I was

thinking and feeling - that

brought my wish into reality. And I did know

exactly what I wanted, and
I

got it and then some.

Dear Pen,

I must respectfully disagree with your assessment.

I do not think that
the

reason you won only $2 was because you were not

specific enough. This is

something I hear a lot from people with various

kinds of new age/spiritual

backgrounds -- and Abe disputes it pretty

consistently.

What Abe says is, "The Universe already knows what

you are

wanting." Because it has noted "every time you

have yippied and

yahooed." In other words, the Universe is fully

and completely aware of

EXACTLY what we are wanting, all the time.

So I don't believe the problem is with us not

being specific enough. I

think it has to do with our level of allowing. If

we are not allowing

something to come, then no matter how hard the

Universe tries to deliver

it, it cannot come.

Which is why they changed the name from "The

Science of Deliberate

Creation" to "The Art of Allowing". It's ALL

about ALLOWING.

Like Tom said, desire means "de" (of or from) -

"sire" (God). I *love*

that!! When you ask, it is immediately delivered,

no exceptions. Asking

is the equivalent of receiving.
I would take that $2 as a bit of fun evidence that

what you are wanting is

on its way. You just have to increase your

ALLOWING.

Ann Marie

Like Tom said, desire means "de" (of or from) - "sire" (God). I *love*
that!!

Just to let people know...
the real root of desire is (and I think this is just as cool)

Desire entered English via Old French, but it traces back to the Latin "desiderare." "Siderare" is a derivative of the root "sidus", which is a latin noun for "star." Meaning, that desire has it's root in the stars.

Here's a cool write up I just found, that says it much better than I:

"desire - c.1200, from O.Fr. desirer, from L. desiderare "long for, wish for," original sense seems to be "await what the stars will bring," from the phrase de sidere "from the stars," from sidus (gen. sideris) "heavenly body, star, constellation." "

How cool is that?
