LOVE YA- Juls

Dear Juls,

First of all, it is not a continuous swing upwards for me I
certainly have my down times. But I do have less an less of
those, and they get shorter and less intense. I certainly have my
share of contrast, but I usually do not make it into a big thing
any more because I prefer the alternative to regain my sense of
well being ASAP and use the contrast as a springboard forward. I
have noticed lately that each contrasting experience brought me
to a new level of clarity and my life got even better.

To my mind, the most important key to a joyful journey is to
really, really believe in a joyful journey.

I am happy for everyone to choose their own path, but there is no
question in my mind which path I want to be on: I want a path
that feels good. I want to feel that I am in control of my
journey and know that I am heading into greater and greater joy.
I want to take advantage of my incredible guidance system rather
than ignore it. I want to only go in my mind to those places
where my IB will join me.

When you ask a person what they want, they often answer I want
to be happy. I have decided that the next question ought to be:
how much do you want it? Because it turns out that many people
have other priorities such as to protect themselves from
disappointments, or to experience the full spectrum of emotions,
or to go with the flow

For me being happy is my highest priority, because I see
everything else as dependent on that. I really, really, really
want to be happy right now!! I am not willing to defer my
happiness until anything around me changes.

I can afford to have such a commitment to happiness because Abe
have offered us such powerful tools that in my experience make
the joyful path easily accessible. I am a great fan of turning
Negative Declarative Statements into asking, as it is a great way
to turn the energy around before it had a chance to build
momentum.

When I find myself in a negative place with some momentum going
in that direction, I usually find that I need to focus for a few
moments in order to regain my balance. It is easiest for me to
focus while writing, but if that is not an option I find that
talking out loud works as well. It can be a while before I have a
chance to do either, and during that time I just let myself go
with the flow rather than try to buck the current. At these
times, when I remember to hold off actions and words, things at
least do not get worse. When I do not remember to hold off, they
do tend to get worse. But I know that there is no risk because as
soon as I get myself together the flow will start to turn in my
favor

What I do when I have the time to focus is some version of a
focus wheel. I sometimes start by I think what bothered me is
because what I want is But the key is always to get on with
finding thoughts that feel good. I have never failed to get back
into a happy place while doing a focus wheel. I just make sure
that I start in a place that is general enough to not have any
resistance about it even where I am at the moment.

For example, at a recent episode I started with: I like it when
I feel good. I like it when I feel loving. I would like to find a
way to be comfortable when something like this happens These
few sentences turned out to be enough to change my energy then
and to keep me from blowing my top the next time something like
that did happen I used to have to go longer, and sometimes I
still do, but it did get easier to get back to a happy place once
I became used to being there.

I hope you find this helpful.

With Love,

Ilana-Ora

The Pre-Existent Primordial Field of the Universe is a sea of 'free energy'
which permeates all. It is possible to "plug in" to this Free Energy and
eliminate
the "need" for the continued use of fossil fuels. The equipment which does
this has been proven to possess "over-unity" characteristics, ie: the power
output is more than 100% of the input. It is our hope that in the near
future Free Energy will enable mankind to progress from a state of
dependence to one of abundance.

Will you share your secret?

Hi Juls:

I know your question is for Ilana and I believe her answers & recent posts
have been magnificent! But I've got a secret (not really) that I stumbled
upon in the reality next door EnAnon. Further I think MHaffner (Equinox) has
been posting about it recently & enjoyed reading his posts on illusions.
Perhaps we're all saying the same things but in different ways. What I've
been doing may not work for you but here goes.

To be sure, I believe that the exercise in manifesting taught me one thing
only, and that is, it is possible to control thoughts & therefore conditions
of life. This to me signified happiness. But it then became a matter of so
what? Now what? Onto the next desire fulfillment. I didn't know why then but
it was definitely unfulfilling.

Here's what I've learned that has made manifesting sooo easy. I stopped
consiously doing it! I think I was in the right place mentally for this great
book by Ken Keyes, Jr. Handbook to Higher Consciousness recommended by
NetPaul. I don't so far think it goes against any Abraham principles, the
book has helped me to understand the principles even better.

In it, the question appeared on whether one could be truly happy, Joyful,
fulfilled without the fullfilment of any desires. Can you be happy just as
you are right here, right now in this very moment?

Then I started to understand about Preferences. Those desires & wants that
don't come with my Happiness at stake. I started viewing every desire as
whether I could be happy with having it or not. Little did I know that this
was building another layer of Love of the self. At first it seemed I couldn't
be truly happy without any of them and had to figure out why for each one.
Each one I couldn't be happy with signified a part of the self I couldn't
accept, a part of me that needed healing. Until finally I reached a point
where I could just groove on me, happy to be healed with nothing to look
forward to and nothing to want.

Before I knew it, I was(am) constantly high, constantly Blissed out on the
Joy of just being Here. Every single moment has been filled with Joy, if not
then what in that moment is blocking it?

In the Fourth Pathway Keyes writes:

"I always remember that I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now -
unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations
based on the dead past or the imagined future."

Since wanting for nothing & accepting that Everything is allowed including
me. My plain old happiness is based on nothing but having the LOVE of Self
and this Love is expanding exponentially to include Everything &
Everyone.There is just so much Beauty here to get lost in.

The most incredible part and the point is that my Preferences have started to
Manifest WITHOUT Intent & Focus. Yeah I said it, without Intent & Focus. I
feel free for I know the Universe already knows what I want better than I do.
I've been blessed with so much, More time, deeper Love between my husband &
I. Yes and even more money coming exactly when I need it. All The Time.
Things that need to get done & I have no means of doing it, resolve
themselves. People of like mind just flowing into my life out of nowhere.
More Everything when I gave up the emotion packed desires of Everything!

He continues with: "How soon will you realize that the only thing you don't
have is the direct experience that there's nothing you need that you don't
have?"

Life has started to Live Thru Me. The flow is constant. I want badly to share
some examples of this ease. But this post has gotten too long. The ease is in
letting the me who is in touch with Everything take control while my job is
for the conscious me to enjoy each moment with no thoughts of the past or the
future, Just NOW. The hard part is doing what I can to get rid of
fusterclucks. How? By accepting the clucks as they appear here & now & "no
longer superimpose negative emotions in repairing them."

I'm at the point where I AM ENOUGH NOW, just me with no wants, no past, no
future.
But Manifesting continues...without effort, without trying. The Universe
knows what I want better than I & that in itself makes me happy.

Lots of Love To Everyone,
Queena

Hi Kathy, (not sure if this is best for the list or if it should be
PEM---if too much detail for listreader, please delete!)

A couple ideas off the top, then I'm going to dinner and see if I have any
more ideas later. I somewhat hesitate to even submit this to you because
such different styles work for different people. However, maybe reading it
will synchronistically spur some ideas for you that are unique to you and
work wonderfully for you.

Some things I have done in somewhat similar circumstances:

Discuss some of the dynamics of layoffs and how participants experience that
as briefly as possible, but enough for folks to get to express themselves
and/or feel "heard". (I'm looking for ways around that part, but people who
are not Abe-thinkers do want to be heard--even we Abe-thinkers do--listen to
us explaining at Abe conferences--Abe cuts some of us off before we create
more of what we don't want, but allows many others to continue considerably,
depending on what they seem to need.)

Usually bring out something about the negative thoughts that often occur,
but I try to comment on these lightly: sort of like "negative thoughts we
all have but that don't serve us very well." I don't like to spend much
time on how real these can be because that makes them all the more real.
(This is, of course, contrast, but I try to keep it very concrete and
understandable in their experience.)

Then talk some about how physiology works and how negative/hopeless
thoughts create problems psychologically and physiologically. You may
already have great references for that or you might like to use some of the
material in HEARTMATH SOLUTION by Doc Lew Childre. (I find the heartmath
material a little challenging to teach to others--haven't mastered it myself
yet although I believe it is VERY powerful and "on the leading edge" so I
personally wouldn't try to teach their solution, but would use it or
something similar to highlight why it doesn't do well to dwell on the
negative thoughts that are natural but not helpful.)

Sometimes in here I can talk about how attention is the mechanism that
mediates whether we have positive or negative physiological and
psychological reactions and give some examples.

Than go to some better thoughts. I do sometimes teach focus wheels if
people seem ready to listen, but I make them sound very concrete. I do
comment that you have to tune into your inner direction but I don't
elaborate much on that unless I get some encouragement from the audience.
Again, I try to use a light touch.

Then I might take SKANS competencies and ask them to help develop some ways
of knowing if they are meeting the competencies (for themselves, perhaps,
not necessarily for the whole group.) You can put the stuff they generate
on the board or flip chart or whatever and sometimes insert gentler words--I
do always ask permission to do that, but I also communicate that I may ask
to do that.

One way to frame this is, "What would be the FIRST signs that a person is
getting this?" "What might later signs look like?" As people give
responses, I might help them see that first signs are different for
different people and that it may be up to THEM to show YOU (or each other)
what the first signs might be for themselves. I.E., involve them in imaging
the first signs and the later signs for themselves and ask them to be alert
to other signs that might come up without them even figuring it out ahead of
time.

Humm, hunger calls.

One dynamic I'm thinking about is that they may already feel that they have
a lot of skills and may consider it a bit insulting that they should have to
develop more---or they may secretly or more blatantly feel that they have
almost no skills for the new learning that must take place. Whichever it is
would be interesting to me as it would help me frame what I'm going to teach
in a way that (at least I hope!) is less threatening and more congruent with
how they see themselves. Of course they do have skills: they have lived a
lot of life, but they may or may not perceive it that way.

Hope this has some helpful stuff in it. Again, congratulations on having
such a wonderful job opportunity to uplift and be uplifted by the
experiences before you (plural, you and them!).

It worked for me. I was so tired of crappy relationships I finally decided
there were no more good men left in the world and that I'd never have a good
man so I just concentrated on things I liked doing instead of holding out on
the idea that somewhere somehow there was someone for me. Then a great guy
just walked right into my life - he was sweet, sensitive, funny, kind,
good-hearted, in good health, and he adored me. We've been married sixteen
years.

Granted, I had no idea I was working with Law of Allowing at the time. But
it worked.

To apply Lazer Focus..........to why on this Plane, Manifestating does
not happen on a much more consistent basis?

Dialectic Discourse:

Q. If you look at this moment what do you see?

A. This moment is a continuation of the past moment, and that is a
continuation of the past moment before that, on and on, until there was
a time when =Creation= occured in the far, far ancient past.

Q. Ok with this viewpoint, how would it be possible to Create something
new?

A. I guess it would be pretty hard--because of this worldview--that
there was this 'original' Creation eons ago, cause if there is this
'original' creation, how can I 'create' on top of it.

Q. What would happen if you changed you worldview of this moment
to-----That every single moment you are experiencing, is Brand New, and
is NOT a continuous loop that was started Eons ago?

A. Well then who is the one who is Creating each moment Brand New?

Q. That's easy, you are. Thru the Misperceiving of Existence, it is
thought that each moment is NOT brand new, and is a continous loop from
a primordial "beginning".

A. So then if each moment is Brand New, that means I am deciding and
'creating' each moment!!!

Q. Exactly, so then the 'obstacle' to Manifesting, is simply a worldview
that is Never questioned. And the ability to Manifesting is simply to
become aware of this false worldview and replace it.

So then in fact to Manifest is the easiest thing in the world, But IF
the old view is held on to, Manifesting is completely impossible.

Hi All.....
I just got back in town, and missed the energy of this list. I too would
like to know your secret
Ilana. Hope you'll let us know more.
Also, Juls, I had a question about your process of giving up and saying it
will never happen.
I understand the letting go part.....but the it will never happen
part......could it be that things
were getting ready to happen anyway.....and when you declare it will never
happen....you're
prepaving bumps in the road for the future?
Just wondering.....

Hi Juls and all,

Abe did mention that at the moment that we give up we stop
pushing against. If you really can bring yourself to give up and
not think about it anymore I suppose it can work for you. It does
require as you said that you first get yourself into major
frustration, probably through manifestating plenty of contrast
around the subject. There are no right and wrong ways to go about
it, but it is certain that your IB is not participating with you
while you get yourself good and mad... And personally, I like to
take the joyful route. (And ofcourse, for me giving up just is
not an option when I really really want something, especially now
that I know that I really can have everything that I want...)

Love,

Ilana

eye. Until I met Abe, I spent many years worrying and doubting
and crying about it manifesting.

Over the last few years, since coming in contact with Abes
teachings, I have had powerful, wonderful dream manifestations of
it. When I wake up, I stay in the feeling place of it for hours,
not minutes!!! I will go along happily for weeks or months and
then I just cry because it is still not manifesting and I am left
curious and discouraged, wondering what is wrong. This seems to
be my pattern. I would like to believe in these processes. I

It sounds as if you are almost there. I think we can tip the
balance here. Here is what I think is going on.

You know about the balance of desire and belief. As they go up
together, you have satisfying experience.

Abraham asks us to pump up desire. As we stay focused on it,
things manifest so our beliefs rise to match it and we stay in
balance.

You've done well at pumping the desire. You even managed to stay
in balance for a long time regardless of manifestation. Now, I
believe, your desire is so far ahead of your expectation that it
seems your expecations are having a tough time keeping up, and
might even be pulling on your desires. So what I am going to
suggest to you is you spend more time molding the expectation.

To this end we will use something really corny: the Jedi Mind
Trick :). A Jedi Mind Trick is a concise, specific, positive
statement about what you've got (want); coupled with a flash
visualization.

It would take me most of my afternoon to really describe how this is
done, but I also trust you probably already have a basic understanding
of how to do it. If you can give me examples of your desires, I will
use them to give detailed examples.

You are familiar with Abraham's processes, so I know you know how
to identify what you want. What I'd like you to do is start by
writing down what you want with as much specific detail as possible.
They say be as specific as you can be and still feel good. Well,
really push the specifics AND detail on this one until you drive
yourself up the wall.

In other words, don't just put

I want a relationship.

Unless you are positive that's as far as you care about it. I
am confident you don't want any old relationship.

Put
I want a respectful, monogamous relationship with such and such
characterisitics ...
I want a harem with [these people] in it ...
I want to be married to ...

Whatever.

Think about what you mean. The word "respectful" for example
could mean "always tell the truth" to one person and "never hurt
my feelings" to another.

Read over your desires and see which ones can be broken down, combined,
or given more detail. You want to write as few sentences as possible
while still covering the whole topic.


Once you have a list of your desries, you are going to re-phrase them,
thusly:

Start each sentence with the word "I".
Follow it with ", Alana Sugar, "
Use the word "now".
Then put the desire in the present tense.

So, to roughly use our examples.
I, Alana Sugar, am now in a respectful monogamous relationship with a
skateboard fanatic.
I, Alana Sugar, am now master of a harem of adoring followers.
I, Alana Sugar, am married to ...

You sorta get the idea, right? Most of these sentences are shorter
than what you'll be writing.

Now, come up with a little imaginary scene that matches what you are
saying. This should be quick! If you are used to visualization,
forget that. This should be a quick symbol which briefly zaps you
with the feeling place of having what it is you are saying. It can
be symbolic and even animated.

What you are going to do is read your list out loud. As you say each
one, pause and get the image you made up in your mind briefly. Then
repeat the statement and add something like "and that's just the way
it is". Then, move right on to the next statment. Don't pause.
As you say each statmement, imagine it ringing out to the environment,
as if you are Obi Wan commanding the universe about what is reality.

Go through this exercise once in the morning IMMEDIATELY at the first
moment you realize you are awake and ready to get up. Also, do it
right after you go to bed. When you finish the exercise, toss it aside
and forget about it. Do this every single day!

Once a day, pick one of your statements, and write it out on a piece of
paper that has no lines on it. Try to write it neatly in a straight line
and feel yourself writing it. Write it between 20 and 100 times. Enough
to feel it but not enough to get writer's cramp.

It can be useful to carry some of your statements on index cards and read
tham to yourself whenever you don't feel so hot. Do NOT, however, make a
point to read them all day. This should be a quick, infrequent, exercise.

As you can see, the point of this exercise is simply to set expectation.
Let yourself expect. When you feel bad, remind yourself simply to expect
the results you want. It is OK to daydream. When you start to worry,
however, set your expectations (thought is where you last left it) then
stop thinking about it.

Be willing to revise your statements. You will revise them. As you read
them you will get clearer and clear about how they can be improved to
better match what you really want.

Hi Kathy,

I'm interested in what you are doing here. I like the way you are
thinking about the people you are working with and what you are intending to
communicate to them. This is very refreshing and much needed in working
with those who have experienced downsizing. I'm sharing my experience
below. Please don't take it overly seriously if your intuition tells you
differently. Of course my experience is impacted by my beliefs, so you will
certainly have different beliefs and experiences.

There are 2 thoughts crossing my mind, depending on the area in
which you work and the openness of the people you'll be encountering to
anything that seems a little "weird." I'm in the Midwest where lots of
people are still frightened by anything that seems "weird" so I, personally,
have chosen to do more nonverbal communication of these principles and
choose the most ordinary words and phrases when I talk about the ideas. A
concept from The Course In Miracles (also Abe) that I use regularly is that
healing/love, once offered, is always received. It is always received, but
only when it is not threatening or fearful to the person receiving it
(sometimes that's quite a while after it is offered, maybe even when people
transition to nonphysical and release resistance, I think.)

So I try to approach things using words and phrases that would not be
fearful -or seem strange- to the group I'm working with. I do a great deal
of my work nonverbally at home and silently in the spaces that occur during
interaction and I only try to teach the more powerful Abe-type things if
asked or if people respond positively to the little clues I throw out in
very normal (or nearly normal) language. When they do respond positively, I
try to tune in to my intuition about how much I can extend that will be
received as "love" (per Course in Miracles language) and how much might
bring about fear. For me, this works very well and I have what I would once
have considered "miracles" happen in a large percentage of my total
interactions and certainly in almost every group training I do. (Abe talks
about this too--doing relationship work when you're not with the person and
doing something that's not controversial when you're with them.) I bring
this up because I think people who have been downsized or whatever are often
tuned to a fear vibration and, to connect with them, small steps are needed;
large steps may be like Abe used to talk about when the merry-go-round is
too fast.

One other thought. Abe says when we pick up one end of a stick, the
other end comes too. (Recent tape San Antonio, I believe, and lots of
others as well.) Another way they say this is when we focus on one desired
belief or goal, the beliefs we hold that contradict this intention come to
the surface. For this reason lots of us on the list have had the experience
of picking up one end of the stick on several subjects at once (taking BIG
steps) and then getting the other end too with considerable strain. A more
recommended way seems to be to take smaller steps and get a little more
stable change. This may apply to the people you are working with, again
because they have been a bit "pulled down" by observing the things that go
with layoffs. Some of the items below, including my suggestions, may be very
large steps for them and, if so, you may get feedback that they are getting
hold of both ends of the stick at once. (Of course you may find that good,
as, during training they become aware of the beliefs they hold that are not
helping them meet their goals, however my experience is that this goes
better small steps at a time rather than large ones as group resistance/fear
can be a big vortex.)

I have chosen to work with people who, by nature, are conservative
because I love other aspects of their nature. I'm aware that my approach
also is conservative and so you may not want to take it too seriously if
your nature is different. I have seen less dramatic changes work better,
but, to be fair, I'm probably not comparing to more dramatic approaches by
practiced deliberate creators! And, of course, I see evidence of what I
expect so my experience is just that---my experience! :)

Having said all that, I didn't do that with my suggestions here; rather
I followed the pattern you have been working with, making a couple of
suggestions.

I applaud your thinking. Hope my post in no way slows your vibration.
That's definitely not my intent.

Hi Alana,

on with something else."

I can't imagine being able to declare to myself that something
that I want ain't ever going to happen... But I do believe that
Juls is on the right track. I would say instead:

"The universe is already working on this and it does not need my
help. I know that the best thing I can do now is get out of the
way by forgetting all about it and focusing on other things that
I enjoy. But I am going to relax about this and know that it is
no big deal if I do think of it every once in a while. I have
decided however to get in the habit of catching myself whenever I
do think about it. And when I catch myself I decided to pretend
that this is a souffl in the over and I am going to gently close
the over door and get busy with other things, trusting the ovens
buzzer to let me know when the souffl is ready. In the meantime
there are plenty of other delicious things to eat so I am
perfectly happy for the oven to take as long as it needs...

With love,

Ilana-Ora

I teach adults who have been laid off from closing factories and are in a 6-month retraining as computerized bookkeepers. They're taught the bookkeeping in the afternoon, but in the morning I teach S.C.A.N.S. (The Secretary's Council on Acquiring Necessary Skills). Below are the competencies that I must grade students on. I can't play with the competencies themselves, but I am trying to rework the language I use to communicate them to students and the way I teach them. The bulleted areas are what I have so far....Suggestions?
Thanks, Kathy
