Connee Chandler
 

Hi, Catherine,

The other 90 people whose pictures are on the Abe Names and Faces page are the forefathers and mothers of the Abe list, who you will be privileged to encounter if you read the archives. They are our cyberfriends, and beloved to us.

I've been here over 7 years now. This list has been extraordinary for me in that it has taught me that there is an incredible stream of powerful teachers, who are attracted to this list for awhile, and who take many forms. Of course it also brought me the specific form of my beloved
husband, David, and I will be ever grateful to the list for making it possible for him to find me here! <grin>

Let me tell you about my view of this list after being deeply involved in it, as a writer, reader, and eventually wife of the list admin, over a long time. Let me open the portal of my perspective to show you the beauty of the people and the world I know here. Some folks come and read and
lend their consciousness to the list and then, at some point disappear, with never a ripple on the surface of the list. Yet I feel powerfully their desire as part of the draw for the wisdom that pours out of the people who write here. I know I have become a much better writer because there
are people here who read with hunger and gratitude for what is written. We are not just writing to the people who write. We are writing for the people who read, over 1100 of them. Pretty amazing, when you think about it, that the majority of the people who make up the consciousness of this
list never write, never post their picture... Yet their desire to learn more about and use what Abraham teaches propels this list to much higher levels than it would ever go with only the small percentage of the whole who post.

Other folks come here, blitz the list for a few weeks or months with an incredibly high vibration of teaching, and then disappear when it comes time to promote their own work rather than focusing on discussing Abraham's. This list is has been used as an apprentiseship program for many
extrordinary teachers and writers who then carry their individual flavor of the Abe message out into the world at large. They are of amazing value in taking the list to its next level of consciousness, and the short, intense stay here of some of those who come is perfect for them and for the
list, too. Having some of these folks here and gone has been of great value for me personally in learning to let go of people with love in my life. The short time they are here is a gift they share freely, and like a Tibetan sand painting, the short temporal longevity does not lessen, but
sometimes actually strengthens, their gift.

Other people show up and ask powerful questions that draw life force for everyone. Other people, like me, Margie, Malik and Ron, become a relatively stable part of the list community for many, many years, over 6 for each of us now, I think. Sometimes we post a lot, sometimes we barely find
time to read for months, yet our consciousness and vision for the list remains, holding the list in love and appreciation, regardless of our specific focus at the moment.

There are those like Paula, Ted, Juls, Rick and Maija who come and stay for years, too, who have been some of the most perfect teachers in my life, the brothers and sisters of my heart. These are the people I can disagree with totally some days and still adore. They have taught me so much
about love. And about how to find a broader perspective thought that includes both sides of a paradox.

And then there was Andy Harrington, the founder of this list. Andy is a wonderful friend and a leading edge thinker who has gone on to other exciting projects. I am so grateful for his vision and his ground work with this list. And there is David, who inherited the list from Andy, who loves
this list with his whole heart, devotes time every single day managing it, and who carries a powerful vision for the interactions here. He does his very best to bring this vision to fruition for all of the 1100 people who read and write here. David is often the only one who hears from people
who are not inspired to post on the list who still really love it and appreciate how much value it brings to their lives. He feels their importance strongly and endeavors to hold the vision of an ideal list for both those who post and those who simply read.

It's a challenging thing some days to be the administrator of a list of over 1000 freedom seeking beings. He's like a television network manager who tries to balance the desires of the performers with the desires of the audience. David manages to do it with grace and wit the vast majority of
the time. I get to see him also on those days when he says, like Jerry & Esther, "I seem to have a tiger by the tail here!"

I have learned so much from watching him about the wisdom it takes to make choices of how to use his role as list administrator to help mold the focus here. Building an infrastructure for traffic to flow on in the virtual world is much like that in the physical world. It doesn't just take
wires and service providers and computers in everybody's home or library, it also takes visionaries who can imagine good flowing communications, who create guidelines analogous to "let's everybody drive on the right side of the road," that help keep everything focused and flowing more
smoothly. Rules like, "let's use this highway for cars, trucks and buses and encourge the airplanes, bicycles and horses to use alternative runways and roads more suited to their specific needs." And also visions like "let's make this non-commercial" to keep things generally more attractive,
kind of like Lady Bird Johnson's campaign to take the billboards off the nation's superhighways, and the PBS stations that sprang up to facilitate the delivery of desirable information with fewer interruptions for marketing.

David is the one who also gets to suggest to the people who want to drive on the left side of the road in their airplanes, pulling a streaming banner of advertising along behind them, that perhaps they should come instead with their cars and drive on the right, or else find another, more
appropriate, place to drive. I am grateful for his work also as the gentle policeman of the list.

I'm especially grateful as I build my own visions as structures in the physical world that impact people beyond just me, for the work David and Rick have done in teaching me that Law of Allowing does not mean I have to tolerate the person who decides to smoke in my living room against my
wishes. It is fine for me to explain to them that I am glad to see them, and if they want to smoke, they must do it outside. Law of Allowing means that people who want to drive their commercial airplanes on the left side of the road are ever free to build their own airports or use the ones
designed for that purpose other people have built. They are not free to decide they want to turn I-70 this afternoon into an airport runway between Kansas City and St. Louis because that would inconvenience too many other people who want to travel in Missouri by car today.

Have I got it right yet, Rick? LOL

My guess is that you will say "not quite." Yes, they are actually totally free to decide to do that, but that they will likely run into some rather significant consequences for making that decision. <grin>

I love this list and the people who are attracted here to play within its beautiful, virtual, visionary structure. All the things that happen on this list, the ones we totally delight in and the ones that occassionally provide contrast for us, help David and me and all the other, less
visible, silent holders of the vision for this list, build an ever more beautiful vision of the possibilities of what happens here for people who come.

I know there are many people here I haven't mentioned yet in this post who I adore. I will just trust you know who you all are. It's so good when an old friend who has been off list for awhile drops in to visit as Constance and BooBoo have done recently. And the lifeblood of the list is, of
course, the never ending stream of new students and teachers of Abraham who post eagerly and often, some of whom will stay for a long time, and others of whom will leave us to pursue creating their own visions when their joy takes them away.

It is all perfect. I am so grateful. Thanks to you all, readers and writers, who make this glorious list the amazing playground it is and has been for so long.

Love and hugs,

Connee


A Question for Pen

nadin
 

Hi Pen:

I have gone thru the thread discussing your wonderful creation of the
PT Cruiser. Since you have manifested what you desired - and
something of this *magnitude*, I think you can answer a quick
question of mine.

In a recent post, you mentioned that you try to model the process,
the feeling and the thoughts (not in so many words, of course) that
led to the manifestation of the PT. Would you care to elaborate a bit
on that? I have been working on my financial issues for a while,
along with my wife, but haven't manifested what we desired. I am not
sure what I am doing wrong and some pointers might help. Yes, I do
get fearful thoughts sometimes, but move away from it fast, thinking
of what I am doing with all the money I have and things like that. I
generally keep an upbeat and happy mood. But the money hasn't yet
manifested....

Thank you very much. And yes, heartful congratulations on your
lottery Jackpot winning. Let the money flow and enjoy life.

Prepaving -- good jury duty experience

 

Dear All -

Most experiences I have these days are pretty wonderful, so when I got a
summons a month ago for jury duty today I wasn't dreading it as I might have
in the past -- although my business and music are both really hopping after
my vacation so jury duty wasn't exactly my first choice. I remembered
someone posting to this list a few months ago about making her jury service a
pleasant experience, which was inspiring -- one more example of how this list
provides daily inspiration to me (to chime in on Connee's recent post).

I spent a few minutes this morning and on a couple of previous occasions
scripting, deciding that I wanted to have fun, to keep my vibe high and to be
released without actually sitting on a trial. This morning I set an
intention to have fun and stay present through the experience -- really milk
it for enjoyment. Once I got there ("make more decisions in every day," Abe
says), I decided I'd like to get called early and be in the pool being
considered for a trial, then be released before noon without needing to serve
on a jury. I wasn't feeling resistant about serving; I knew I was going to
have a good time regardless of how it went.

So, you guessed it, in the "random" jury selection process, it all worked out
the way I had desired. My number was in the first batch called, I was in the
overflow pool for a criminal trial, found the voir dire process interesting
and fun, esp. to observe Law of Attraction in action in people's lives as the
attorneys questioned them about their beliefs (my group wasn't questioned),
had pleasant interactions during the break with the folks seated by me,
discovered the courthouse now has an espresso cart (!), and was released at
11:45 a.m. to the sweet-smelling out-of-doors. Ahhh.

In the past, the City & County Building -- one of those imposing neoclassical
buildings built in the 1930s, filled with attorneys and folks on trial and
concerned family members and wardens conducting groups of prisoners walking
in chains, and the scene of so many life-changing events, from trials to
bankruptcies to divorces -- always struck me as morose and heavy. Not any
more, baby. Setting one's tone is a powerful thing.

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Shaking off reality?

 

Hello Everyone,
Thomas just emailed me the 4 questions that
he spoke of below. Thought I'd share them
with the group.

1) Is this belief or "story" true ?

2) What proof do you have that this story is true ?

3) Can you find any kind of feel good reason to give
up this story ?

4) Who and what would you be without this story, or
without this belief ?

Much success in old belief busting...
:-)
Pen

use them and they work.
Want to try one ???

Hi plantvitality,

I'm glad you posted too!

In creative writing classes I've taken, it's often easier for me to apply principals of good writing to someone else's story first, then I can do the same with my own. Since my own fear-based concepts overlap with yours, I thought they might serve you.

My mother was a vegetarian and a nurse who despised doctors, hospitals and everything AMA. I discarded the vegetarian part and kept her disdain for medicine, but responded differently from you. Instead of "eat plants" my hyper, non-allowing opinion has been "just raise your vibe."

Oddly enough, one of my best friends is a nurse and high level hospital administrator. we were in Los Vegas together in May, where she was being interviewed for new jobs with several large chains of hospitals. I tried for awhile to listen with enthusiasm to her descriptions of excellent health care being provided by these organizations, then, alas, my severely opinionated self just had to express!

Basically, I laid on her: what a waste of your talents. Just knock down all the hospitals. Tell all the patients to get well. give them all abe tapes (she's an aber) and let that be the end of it. sick people are not who you should be hanging out with anyway. What fun are they? (We have not spoken since.)

I can really see the humor in this!

If you feel like playing....align with your Inner Being and respond to the above scenario.

I had a `bad' week last week. A little PMS and too little plant food!

I am both remorseful and glad I responded to the post to Rick about
Economic Collapse; not because I'm proud of myself, as I have been in
other posts, but because I exposed a lot of fear-based thinking that
I've unconsciously accepted as truth. It `kills' me to see quoted
bits from that post showing up in a lot of places, because its hard
to believe that I wrote and continue to think like that. But
important to see.

I am making important shifts in terms of self awareness and
understanding. I have had difficulty seeing how deeply ingrained are
many fear-based concepts and it is holding onto to these fear based
concepts that is keeping me from writing with true power or wisdom,
particularly in the area of health. I really appreciate those
members of this list that responded to my post helping me see what
lack of joy I put out or take in, by fearful thinking and projection.

The reason for our existence is linked to our becoming aware and
letting go of fear-based programming and I think that the
communication I've had with this group has been instrumentally
important in helping me become aware of my thinking processes and
limitations.

I haven't spent too much time wallowing in the fact that I exposed
faulty and negative thinking (which reflects a huge shift all on its
own). I am so intent on personal evolution that revealing limited
and negative thinking on my part kind of thrills me once being
ashamed of being `faulty, wrong and inadequate' runs its course.
It's like finding that missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle. Revealing
myself to myself can only benefit myself and everyone associated with
me.

It's what we don't see about ourselves that limits our evolution.

Expression of self is important and not always pretty. I would
rather reveal myself and my thinking than write to make myself look
good (although being seen AND looking good is a vision I hold for
myself and a choice I am making). I won't always embarrass myself in
order to evolve, the angels assure me.

I do have the intention to experience enlightenment in this lifetime
(knowing I am enlightened at any moment I believe myself to be). So
I am less concerned with creating a good image than expressing myself
so all parts of me can be brought to the light under the possible
discomfort of self and public examination.

Let's give ourselves and our communications the dignity they deserve.

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

IMO, this phrase is probably what you were vibrating: Knowing I had nothing

of lack. So, the U generously delivered what you desired, but then felt the
vibration that you have nothing in the bank, no income & no job. The U
grabbed it back, realizing it had been delivered to the wrong place. Try
again, feeling/believing/knowing that you have lots of money, you have the
most wonderful, perfect job that you created, and the money just flows to
you a magnet from many sources. Bet you get something even better then!

Hi, friends,

I just have to jump in here, esp. as my biggest issue in my face right now
is prosperity/abundance.

Just last night, I was reading & writing to Abe friends & others &
allowing
& knew that I needed $2,000 just to catch up on my current bills/payments
for this month. Knowing I had nothing in the bank, no income & no job, I
just 'allowed' it to flow & trusted Spirit to bring it to me & did my best
to get out of the way. I wanted/desired to receive my good!

A few minutes later, I read a post and it was a way for me to make $1,600
in
only 4 days. Wow! I could barely believe it but I just sat here with a
big
smile on my face & realized it was truly a message from the Universe,
answering me back & quickly. I was about to write to the company to apply
and I received a post that said it was a mistake. The deal was legit, but
it was in another location and would not work out. So, I received & it
seemed to be taken away just as quickly.

Tell me now, do I just laugh at this & know that somewhere ELSE, the
Universe will 'really' provide the money I need or what? Any suggestions?

You are all so wonderful & I treasure this interaction with you.

Peace, joy, love & great abundance,
Delia

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.

New to Abe - Anyone in Phila. S Jersey Area

Hope Castle
 

Hi Everyone!

I am new to this list and to the teachings of Abraham. I just discovered
the concept of the Laws less than a month ago.

I am listening to the Abraham starter set which includes the first five
special tapes. I want MORE. Both from life and from Abraham. LOL Can
anyone recommend to me which tapes/CDs to order next. They have so many.

I had always heard about positive thinking, affirmations, yada yada. The
idea sounded good, but didn't actually bring forth change in my life. The
Abraham ideas REALLY sound good. They resonate with me. Already I am
happier, lighter.

Abraham is doing a workshop in Philadelphia in October. I intend to be
there. Is there anyone on the list who lives in the Phila-S. Jersey area?

I love reading this list and look forward to connecting with more like
minded people, both in person, and online.

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Just stick it out there with confidence.

You are right, but you know why I think this is done. It is netequitte. We usually don't say that in person. People often misconstrue things that are said in the email. People might take it offensivly or may think the person is obnoxious or a know it all. So I think when we add things like "JMO" or "my 2 cents" we are just letting everyone know that they are not the 'law' they are just delivering an opinion and they don't wish it to be taken any other way.
Perhaps on this particular list, we can practice NOT doing that. With the knowledge that we are just delivering information. Sounds like a plan to me.

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.

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Sara3 & bergland

 

The most amazing coincidence happened this weekend, related to Solomon and
this Sara 3 Book.

As you know, one of the projects I did with Esther and Jerry and Solomon
last year, was allow my sixth graders to converse with Solomon. It was a
wonderful experience for us all, courtesy of the kindness of Esther and
Jerry who allowed my kids to ask Solomon questions directly via their
private email.

So anyway, last weekend, before I even knew that they mentioned Bergland in
the new Sara 3 book, a good friend of mine who works as a pet hospital in
Marin told me that she was having the most amazing experience with this
incredible wild owl that had been brought in.

" I've never seen such a beautiful creature, " she enthused, " huge kind
eyes, beautiful coat of white feathers, and the most amazing energy ! We're
going to set it free soon ! " Seems it had fallen out of the nest up in the
redwoods.

Then it HIT me, as I read my emails yesterday about the Sara 3 book. It's a
sign from Solomon !!! There really IS a Solomon . . . on some level of
reality . . . who is eager to let us know of his Presence. How cool !!!
THAT owl appearing in Marin was an incarnation of the Solomon Energy,
announcing Him SELF. Just like in the Sara books, he keeps coming back
!!!!!

My students certainly felt that Solomon was real . . and now I'm beginning
to think so too !!!

Go ABE !!! Go Esther and Jerry !!!!! We are stepping through the looking
glass, and finding that Our Non Physical Friends are really with us !!!!!!
Why not ??? The veil between the dimensions is just growing thinner and
thinner as we access their energies more and more . . .

It was fun to see in the forward of Sara 3 that Tom
and his minions are noted & spoken of with joy and
love.
Great work Tom!!!! Our hats are off to you for the
great work you're doing with your kids. We had a new
Art teacher in our workshop this weekend and I thought
of you and your work in the bay. Basically Abe told
him to get his students connected before they try to
create because everything flows from source. Tell them
to bring a book to read if they arent. We had a great
workshop here in Portland. All is well!! LLL gordy

Ok Ok Kathaleen LOL! You sound like me sometimes. I get it. :)
I will work on my vibrations. I really try not to negate my desires, it is an old habit that is dying though.
I did think about something that I did ask for, and this is where being 'specific' does come in, for me anyway.
Big U, I want to meet a nice many, he must be XYZ.
OK I met this man.
LOL! now what. I guess I should have stated that I would like to have a romantic, happy.....relationship with this man. So sometimes wording does matter. Of course now that he is in my field, it makes things easier. :D
Thanks for the push!

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Manifestation?

Connee Chandler
 

Hi, Dana,

Welcome to the Abe list! I'm glad you already know that it is a fun place to hang out, and that you felt comfortable to jump in with your question.

I'm sure you will get lots of answers.

Mine is simple. To me, it matters far less why it happened, than what you do with it now. If it makes you feel better to positive what if what happened by saying, "What if it was because I wrote that I wanted a new car?" then go for it. But if it makes you feel worse to negative what if, "What if it was because I wrote that I wanted a new car?" then go somewhere else.

See? It's ALL in how *you* feel about the statement. Whatever statement! What if this is about your intention to learn to practice the Abe materials to make your life infinitely better and it is giving you a dramatic chance to learn to use your guidance system in finding thoughts that feel better.

What if you could focus on being incredibly grateful that in this messy accident everyone walked away unharmed. What if there would be tremendous joy in recalling the many years of safe, flowing driving that you have experienced previously? What if you could acknowledge and bless your appreciation that both you and the other driver were insured? What if this is, in fact, just a minor upset in your day that is already working out beautifully and you will not even feel or think about
it in a month or two?

I have a friend who began noticing that she no longer loved her car as she had at the beginning, but it was still a relatively new car, and she wasn't ready to sell it. She began to write on her placemat that she wanted a new car. Her car was stolen and never found. She made a conscious effort to appreciate the rental car her insurance company provided while the police looked for her car. Eventually, she was given MORE than she originally paid for the old one as a settlement, and
was able to move up to the BMW she has always wanted with ease. Every day, she is gleeful as she drives her new car, feeling more joyful about driving than she ever has before.

The Universe will work for us in very mysterious ways if we find a way to focus on gratitude and appreciation rather than fear.

Love and cyberhugs,

Connee


Manifesting pain relief

George Henry
 

Friends,

I am in the middle of what I'm experiencing as a long,
hard road with an uncertain destination. The only
contact with Abraham that I seem to be able to afford
is this list.

I'm so sorry - and that is more an apology to myself
than to others - but I seem to have the attitude
toward the various processes that "I'm not good at
that," and "how can/will this 'mumbo-jumbo' really
help when clearly certain positive actions - and
strong doses of 'miracle' - are needed to cause my
situation to change." Yep, it's that old lifelong
habit of negative thinking raising its ugly head.

Sleeping outdoors is becoming very trying. But then,
did I appreciate my humble homes of the past? Did I
appreciate even my two-story house of the cul-de-sac,
when I owned that? If not, then is it any wonder that
I am experiencing the lack of that which I did not
appreciate when I had it? So, all things considered, I
feel that I am getting only what I 'deserve,' or at
least, what I manifested as a result of my vibrations.

Those vibrations have been around, and largely
characterized my thinking, for 48 years. Do I have
this enormous mountain of vibrational karma that has
to be satisfied and worked out before things can start
to get better?

It's like, suppose I was in prison, serving a lengthy
sentence (maybe a life sentence). I would have no
realistic hope of getting out "tomorrow," would I? My
freedom is pretty restricted, though not as much as if
I were in prison. I am trying to take positive,
inspired action to improve my circumstances; but
everything takes time, and 'time' seems like
'forever.' I have been trying to change my life
situation for the better for over a year now, and it
was just gone from bad to worse, and my efforts have
ultimately backfired.

So I suppose I should embrace homelessness, living
where I work, amid sawdust and ants and the changes of
weather that occur hereabouts. IT IS NOT AS BAS AS
LIVING IN THE STREETS. And can/should I embrace this,
while continuing to optimistically work to improve the
situation? And to hone my virbation toward what I
prefer to the present situation?

In a way, what I am feeling is like physical pain.
When I broke my ankle, until my natural endrophins
kicked in, all I could think of was, "I want relief
from this pain!!!" I am in a similar state much of the
time now, only there are no endorphins (that I know
of) that the brain will release to negate this kind of
pain. All I can do is refuse to face reality.

And then, we realy want to go a step beyond
eliminating the pain symptom, to eliminating the
cause, or creating a cause for more pleasant symptoms,
isn't that right?

Love and regards,
George

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Being Specific

Delilah
 

Hi, friends,

I just have to jump in here, esp. as my biggest issue in my face right now
is prosperity/abundance.

Just last night, I was reading & writing to Abe friends & others & allowing
& knew that I needed $2,000 just to catch up on my current bills/payments
for this month. Knowing I had nothing in the bank, no income & no job, I
just 'allowed' it to flow & trusted Spirit to bring it to me & did my best
to get out of the way. I wanted/desired to receive my good!

A few minutes later, I read a post and it was a way for me to make $1,600 in
only 4 days. Wow! I could barely believe it but I just sat here with a big
smile on my face & realized it was truly a message from the Universe,
answering me back & quickly. I was about to write to the company to apply
and I received a post that said it was a mistake. The deal was legit, but
it was in another location and would not work out. So, I received & it
seemed to be taken away just as quickly.

Tell me now, do I just laugh at this & know that somewhere ELSE, the
Universe will 'really' provide the money I need or what? Any suggestions?

You are all so wonderful & I treasure this interaction with you.

Peace, joy, love & great abundance,
Delia

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.

Re: [Abraham-Hicks] Manifestation?

R. Avery
 

Dear Dana, So glad no one was hurt! And you may have answered your own question as to how the accident came into your experience. On a tape I have a man is talking about how good he is at manifesting many things he wants, but has more trouble with money. Then he's talking about getting some minor damage to his car in a fender bender or other minor accident that led to getting some long-standing problem fixed on his car. Abraham suggests that as he wanted his car fixed but was
concerned about money, the U had taken care of it by having it happen so that insurance paid to fix the problem. So maybe you are on your way to getting your perfect car, although not the way you would have planned it. As Abe says, the U delivers thru any little crack it can find.

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
