Here it is again, finally corrected.

For Thomas Re - Trying to Understand How I Created EXACTLY What I wanted . . .

Carol Meixsell
 

Dear Tom,
Of course what happened is that your were on such a perfect course with perfect attracting and perfect confidence for a loooooonnnnnnngggggg time before your evaluation that even your negative short-term worryings couldn't stop the momentum. Obviously, your IB and the new principal's IB are in alignment.

vortex of expectation.

Anyway the new principal observed me last week - and my class did well -
analyzing and doing skits about Eleanor Roosevelt's Essay on choices. They
were quite brilliant. I knew the class did outstanding - but still felt a
lot of doubt - about whether the principal was awake enough to "see it".

Anyway - I had to wait over the weekend for the results and I kept falling
into visualizations of anger over a low evaluation - I kept thinking about
"come backs" I could say - for a low response. I tried to visualize my
principal as happy, with rose petals falling around her head - etc - but
didn't feel very successful .

I did finally got to an inner peace - realizing that I am the one who gets
to decide how I'm doing in my teaching - but - down deep I really was
nervous about it -since I've never recieved anything other that OUTSTANDING
for many years. I did get to a point where I felt that this whole lesson
for me - was about - loving myself - my uniqueness - and my courage to teach
ABE in the classroom. But - I was still scared - mainly of my own emotional
reaction - if and when - the principal gave me a lower evaluation.

Anyway - the reverse of my visualizations happened. She raved about my
class - by ability to excited the kids - the depth of my lesson - the
expertise of my kids - and gave me the OUTSTANDING.

I was really amazed - since I hadn't felt that I'd really been able to
visualize the result I wanted very successfully - because of negative fears.

So - how in the world did I get what I wanted ??????? Any insights out
there ? All I know today - is that the Universe really is bending over
backwards to make our every wish come true. I really wished strongly for an
OUTSTANDING - because I wanted some validation - from the school district -
that my new ABE stuff was being accepted and appreciated - and wasn't
getting me into trouble.

The validation was overwealmingly in our favor. My fellow teachers were
also shocked at the positive outcome. My principal actually praised me -
which is almost unheard of . . . . just amazing.

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Re - Trying to Understand How I Created EXACTLY What I wanted . . .

Julia Pierce
 

HI Thomas,

This isn't really very surprising at all. You don't have to be perfect with
this stuff, it's your dominant vibe not your every up and down, it's the
average of what you're feeling. I'd say that you are really incredibly
proud of your kids about 99.9999% of the time, right? My brother teaches
8th grade civics and even though he can be a gruff sob most of the time his
eyes just shine when he talks about His Kids. I've sat in on a couple of
his classes and they have a really good repoire even though some of them
don't get his weird sense of humour some of the time they know that he's in
their corner and will do whatever needs to be done to help them succeed as
long as they do their bit as well, and often even if they don't. Last year
he had to fail 8 kids and then he taught summer school to keep an eye on
them. Without exception each one came up to him at some point over the
summer to tell him that they understood and were kind of, well, you know,
whatever, kind of thankful because they'd learned a lot, ya know, whatever.
And All of them passed with flying colors over the summer. I'm telling you
that just to let you know that I know a bit about how you must feel about
your kids.

I'd say a large portion of your worry was about how it would effect the
kids, Papa Bear looking after his cubs in a sense. You KNOW that you are
doing your best to give them the best that you have to offer. You KNOW that
they are succeeding and learning really important things that go Way beyond
the classroom and standardized testing scores and you want to show them that
this stuff really Does work. You possibly getting in trouble for your
teaching methods would have been a pain but very minor compared to the
bigger lessons that you are trying to give them. And I'd say that that is
where your worries laid. It could very well be that your principal is
Excited about what and how you are teaching the kids. That she has been
dreaming of finding a teacher that goes Beyond the norm, who is using some
creativity in their lesson plans and the others aren't and her evaluations
reflected that. Remember, your classroom is also bigger than just you and
the state ciriculum. You have the vibes of the kids and the vortex that
you've created together as well. I'd say that it would have been near
impossible for her to not have loved you, just walking in to your classroom
may give a energy high. You said that your kids gave a brilliant
performance, which means that their valves were Wide Open and Flowing
Strongly, if she wasn't a match to that then her visit would have been
postponed or something would have happened to not allow her to be there.

My Dad was Deputy Commisoner of Ed and then Acting Commissioner of Ed in the
early 70's. My Mom ran the National Teacher of the Year Award and then
Founded and has run for the last 15 years the National Superintendent of the
Year Award. She is on the selection committee for Disney Teacher of the
Year Award, all of the Principal of the year awards-Primary, Middle and
Secondary-Helped found the Teachers Hall of Fame, amoung others. I have met
many, MANY education administrators, principals, teachers, etc. And without
fail most of them complain about how most teachers just teach the book and
how excited they get when they find a teacher who has some creativity, who
thinks outside the box, who Excite their kids about learning, about their
subject, about themselves. YOU Do that.

SO, where's the Mystery?

Forget the conversation.....
I've heard this concept before - at many new thought churches -but it is
a belief just like any other. It does not have to be your experience -
it is not my experience. I do go through a minor process if I have
changed a major belief. The process is that I get to make my new choice
2 or 3 times before the "new vibration" takes over and Law of Attraction
then no longer brings old stuff. It may be a bit of lag time in the
physical world. In the metaphysical world it is more like repatterning
and I appreciate this time which allows me to fine tune and reaffirm my
new vibration. No hell breaks loose!

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Re - Trying to Understand How I Created EXACTLY What I wanted . . .

 

Just amazing (sounds like a good name for you),

I would say that this is a good example of pre-paving. You seem to be predominantly excited and joyful about what you are doing in the classroom with the kids. You "evaluation" seems a vibrational response to that. What do you think? em

to Juls re: weight loss

 

Hi Juls, I was just going to say that on a tape , Abe talks about Esther going on Sugar Busters.

I thought this might be interesting to you - even Esther wasn't able to do it just purely from the standpoint of her "vibration".

I cant' remember what tape this was; it was one of the monthly ones; does anyone remember?

Hey guys! I had a thought on the way in. First, WELCOME to George and Flora. Second, why don't we share our individual manifestations and creations so that they can get a concrete idea of how Abraham and LOA work in real time. The explanations from em, Cary and Donna (so far) have been wonderful so this will just add to the information.
OK, I'll start ;) (*teeheehee*)

I have been divorced about 2 years and lived with roommates until last February when I moved into my own place (Yeah! Me!- and which I realized the other day that I can decorate for the holidays however I want! It's my place to decorate, or not, it's all up to me) Anyway, I was looking around my living room a couple of weeks ago, and realized that I would like to have a real coffee table instead of the big old wicker chest that I have been using up to this time. I think a real coffee table will make the place look less like a poor college student (which I am a college student butbuilding my prosperity). I don't want to pay too much for it and want it to blend with my other pieces, so I'm thinking the thrift store, because I don't really wish to pay more than $25. I go thrifting a few days later and see some possibilities but they are $40-60 and don't feel "right". So I forget about it. Last Saturday, went to a trail park and sat meditating, listening to the leaves rustle, felt the breeze on my face, watched the squirrels chasing each other, heard the distant sounds of a train. I was in a total state of bliss as I left and remembering having seen signs for a yard sale in the neighborhood earlier, I decided to venture in search of this yard sale. Since it was nearly noon, I assumed there would not be much left. As I walked up, I saw sitting right there in the driveway a coffee table that matches some of my living room pieces. I walked over to it and it had a sticker price of $30. I offered $25 and it now sits proudly in my living room. It is a little beat up but the wood is good so that I can later strip it and restain, if I so desire.

Manifestation #2: I have a good friend in the Navy, stationed in Virginia. Well, let's face it, I'm in love with the guy so I'm basically working on that. In the meantime, I have not heard from him in a couple of months, I have emailed him but they came back as undeliverable. I let it go. I have a filter set up so that emails from him will go into a particular folder, and I would check it periodically thinking that one day, sooner or later, there will be a message from him. Last week I was working and went to run an errand and came back, looked at my email and was surprised to see a message in his folder. I read it and he stated, well you knew I'd be back sooner or later. . . (hmmmm.where had I heard that before)

Well, I hope that these tales of manifestation will help you see how our thoughts can manifest our desires. We just have to let them go and allow the universe to do its job. My favorite analogy is of the manager (IB) who works for us, we just tell our manager what we want and trust that the job will be done.

Peace and Love to All.

George and Flora, I think you will quickly discover the power of LOA and joyful thoughts, and this group is a wonderful sharing ground.

Diana

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Re: Neville's Books

 

I totally agree. I also have that sense of release of resistence to the
whole process when I read Neville. His books seem to carry immense power.
And - how about that weekly tape that just came from ABE on the Sept. 11
stuff.?

This tape is the best ABE lecture yet - really locked on - and absolutely
brilliant - in clarifying many ways - to move on with our lives and lock on.
It's the Sept. 22nd tape and I highly recommend it to all who are not
subscribed to the weekly series. Brilliant insights.

Hi everybody,

I usually just lurk here but wanted to comment on this since Neville is
my favorite author. If you go to devorss.com you will find all of
Neville's books including Power of Awareness and the Awakened
Imagination.

I was puzzled as to how Darwin Gross got into this so I tried to find
out through google. A site that considers Gross a guru said that he
read Neville's books and then wrote his own books with the same titles.
Seems a little odd to me and I don't know if his books are any good or
not.

If anybody is not familiar with Neville I really recommend you try his
books. When I read him it feels like something cramped releases.

Welcome to the Abraham website. It is nice to have new members.

George Snoddy



Dear Gentle Persons, (My wife Flora's questions)>


It has been my experience that when a person is learning about a teaching,

it is all too easy to oversimplify what is being taught. Such

oversimplification can lead to a lot of confusing conclusions.


Because the people I have met who are interested in and advocates of the

teachings of Abraham are seemingly among the happiest and brightest
persons

I've encountered, I assume that I am missing some pieces of the teachings

that I need to locate.


So far, I've listened to the set of tapes and read "Sara." Please tell
me

what pieces I'm missing that lead me to the following questions.




QUESTION ONE: One of the basic teachings of Abraham seems to be, "Reach
for

the thought that feels better."




It seems to me that by reaching for the thought that feels better, we are

generally going to come to a better thought and reality. However, some

times, that might not be the case.


For example, if I say, "I love to smoke; doctors are probably wrong that

smoking leads to illness; and even if it does, life is eternal, so I may
as

well smoke." These are thoughts that may feel better than, "I need to
give

up the habit of smoking because it is not good for my health." But, are

those the thoughts to reach for that will lead to joy? One may reach for

the thought that feels better at the moment, in the now, but it may not
lead

to better feelings over the long term.



Or, let's say my boy friend whom I love deeply has just told me he doesn't

want to see me any more. Let's say I've relocated to a new city to be
near

him, given up my job, and don't know any one in the new city.


I might say, (a) "My boy friend doesn't really mean it when he says he

doesn't want to see me any more;" or (b) "I will feel better when I am

around someone who wants to be with me;" or (c) "My boy friend may change

his mind later regarding our relationship;" or (d) "My boy friend is doing

me a favor by telling me the truth so I can now be free to find a person
to

share my time with who wants to be with me." All four of these choices

might make a person feel better.


Clearly, (b) or (d) would be the thoughts most of us would wish to strive

for; however, (a) may feel better to some and (c) may feel better to
others.

Yet, both (a) and (c) may be a delusion even though they might momentarily

make me feel better.


So, it is not clear to me how reaching for the thought that feels better
is

always the better thing to do.






QUESTION TWO: In the book, "Sara" the owl, Solomon cautions Sara not to
be

angry at her brothers for killing him because all they did was free him
from

his physical form. Solomon also says that due to the diversity of

behaviors, it doesn't make sense to demand that others change their ways

just to satisfy our sense of what is right or wrong.


It seems to me that by following this line of reasoning, Hitler should be

lauded for freeing so many people from their physical form and the World

Trade Center terrorists should be awarded the medal of freedom for freeing

so many people at one time from their physical form. This does not make

sense to me.




QUESTION THREE: In the book "Sara" Solomon asks Sara which is better,
(a)

demanding that all the people in the world change their ways just to
please

her or (b) hiding herself away thus preventing her pain at seeing diverse

behavior, in effect, being a prisoner in the world. Isn't there a

possibility of something in between?


That is, it seems to me that this forced choice is a logical fallacy of
the

sort where you take two extremes and then cut out all compromise, all 20

million possibilities that exist between the polar opposites, and pretend

that only two options exist within the world.


We, as humans, live in groups. If we had no agreements as to how things

work in the world, it would be a very different place. If we had no

agreements that, in general, we should stop for a red light while driving
or

that we should not give human babies poison in their milk, I think we
would

say that the world had taken a step backward. We do not wish these

agreements to be observed just to force the world to change just to please

us, but rather for the purpose of bringing out a more "humane" world.



Demanding that there be some agreements or standards of conduct is not
done

just for the sake of getting the world to please an individual, it is done

for the sake of making all our lives better and easier. This seems self-

evident.





QUESTION FOUR:


Solomon says, "Your joy depends upon what YOU give your attention to."

This notion may work always when only one person is involved with the

decision. But, what about relationships?


For example, let's say you are in a Nazi concentration camp, would you
just

give your attention to the benefits of losing weight, being free of family

ties, and the help you are giving to society by way of medical experiments

OR would you try to put your focus on escaping or getting more food for
you

and your friends to eat before you starve to death?



If you are in a relationship with a significant other and their joy
requires

a particular action, for example relocating to Tulsa, but your joy
requires

relocating to New York City, what do you do? Can you be happy when your

significant other is not happy in his or her professional capacity or when

she or he is away from their home or other family members?


At point, whose joy and whose attention will manifest? Suppose a

relationship or a culture hold opposing positions as to what creates joy
and

happiness? Whose will manifest?


More importantly, whose ought to manifest? The answer to this question,
of

course, may presuppose we can know the "Good" and so on, but surely human

society must have some opinion on the subject.


It is my intent to ask meaningful questions because the teachings are
very

important to me. I do not wish to offend. I seek answers. Please help
me.

What did I miss?

For Diana Re: how to respond to others

Carol Meixsell
 

Dear Diana,
When someone posts an email, often within the text is the person's own answer. In looking at yours, I would say that the way you could answer your friends who are interested enough to aks is this:
" Thank you. I appreciate it so much that you ask. You know, something really great has been happening over my last several relationships. They are getting better and better each time and I feel that I am getting closer and closer to my perfect partner. I am so happy!!!"
Diana Gentrup <dianagentrup@...> wrote:
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???

Diana

I always get so much upliftment

 

from reading the "Juls and Cordy" stories on this list, and it occurred to me that I don't always acknowledge that.

So thank you, Juls and Cordy for your wonderful experiences that vibrate me higher. Someone sent me the following regarding dogs, and I thought the list would enjoy it--

it's about the purity of a dog's consciousness and their connectedness....

-Sue

Understanding the Dog's Brain

The dog's brain is different from the human brain. Humans spend much of
the present musing about the past and looking forward to the future.
Certainly, dogs have recollections and anticipations, but basically, the dog
is the champion of the here and now. The dog sports the quintessential
existentialist brain of the millennium. The dog lives in the present. Humans
clog up vital brainpower with hypothetical constructions, theoretical
conundrums, moot points, obtuse fallacies, and heuristic paradoxes. Dogs
excel at analyzing and enjoying the moment by savoring every single ounce of
pure pleasure of the present.

When the dog expects dinner -- the identical menu served in the identical
bowl in the identical place at the identical time each day, as for the past
3,000 days -- it is excited and happy. When the dog greets you in bed each
morning -- the same owner who went to bed in the same bed eight hours
previously -- the dog is overwhelmed with excitement because you are here
now. The dog is excited because you are awake. Perhaps you should be, too!

Re: Neville's Books

 

Hi everybody,

I usually just lurk here but wanted to comment on this since Neville is
my favorite author. If you go to devorss.com you will find all of
Neville's books including Power of Awareness and the Awakened
Imagination.

I was puzzled as to how Darwin Gross got into this so I tried to find
out through google. A site that considers Gross a guru said that he
read Neville's books and then wrote his own books with the same titles.
Seems a little odd to me and I don't know if his books are any good or
not.

If anybody is not familiar with Neville I really recommend you try his
books. When I read him it feels like something cramped releases.

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] I'm confused/Prepaving vs. Time Lag

 

I agree with Olivia.
I had never thought about how parking spaces are
an "immediate" manifestation of our desire.
So why hasn't my PT Cruiser instantly manifested???
Probably because our expectation of instant results
is very high when it comes to the buttons and not
as high when it comes to the castles.

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!!

Re: Juls jumpin' and Touchstone for Juls

 

Juls,

This was a great list. In other words, you want to be a pretty or
even hot girl/woman/female. Natural desire and you're right you
don't need to justify it.

I have two nieces, ages 2 and 4. They have been raised in a very
"gender neutral" pro-grrrl power environment free from all mass
media images etc. And let me tell you , they are wild feminine.

They want sparkles; they want pink and purple; they want high
heels; they want to be fairy princesses (and they aren't even
allowed to have books on princesses); they want barbies (they
aren't allowed to have barbies); and they want long hair and
jewelry and butterfly tatoos. And they want it *right now* with the
absolute overpowering desire of someone who hasn't been
instructed at college that it's wrong to want that because it is
societal programming or that beauty comes from within.

Anyway...here's a touchstone for you...



It's the new Victoria's Secret commercial. They did a great job
with it. :)

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.


Juls, up to this point I am seeing you feeling good, attractive as
you speak these reasons. Powerfully pure declarations.

After, your declarations start to change, and not want comes
into them: worry, guilt, etc. Can you (if you would want to) re-state
those below to make them pure statements of what you want?

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.
