From Facebook this morning:
?
So Esther sat and thought about it, and she thought the first thing that came to her mind was the way she always felt once the Monster Bus (a 45 foot Prevost bus) was all hooked up with the car behind it, and all the rooms were pulled in and all the hoses and cords were pulled in, and all the inside was stowed - it was ready to roll. And Esther would get in the driver's seat and turn over that big engine (it had to idle for 5 minutes before you could begin moving it), and then she would begin moving through the campground (or wherever they were) out onto the open road. And the feeling of satisfaction coming up that ramp into the this new day with this new experience and this new exposure to life, she always felt that high-on-life, satisfied-in-the-moment feeling.
?
So when she recalled that, she thought "I know what satisfaction feels like." She thought about climbing the stairs up into her tree house, and looking out over all of Fair Oaks - just hundreds of oak trees on that 40 acres, and she adores each and every one of them. And as she's looking out over the treetops with an occasional building poking up, she feels the satisfaction of that environment that is all Pure Positive Energy - the nature of it, the birds, the satisfaction of remembering the men who built it and the fun they had and how long it took them because they didn't want it ever to be done, and the new idea, and the next new idea, and the next new idea. You just can't be in that tree house or think about being in that tree house without satisfaction washing over you.?
?
She thought about slipping into the seat in the restaurant with her lovely friends with her, smelling the food and feeling the ambiance and anticipating what's coming next, and the feeling of satisfaction about this moment in time, that feeling of wellbeing and that feeling of knowing the fun that they're going to have, and the harmony that they find in each other, and the connection with Source that they each find and then they play together. Satisfaction is so easy to identify - it's easy to notice, it's easy if you care about it, it's easy to isolate, it's easy to practice, it's easy to own. And then it's easy to notice when you're deviating and when you're on point. Do you see what we're getting at?
?
Q: Yes.
?
A: So then you don't find yourself ever saying "This has been going on since I was five." You might say "I sort of have a vague recollection of being anxious, but now my strongest recollection (because it's something that is happening the most often to me now) is a feeling of satisfaction, because that's where I focus and that's what I find. And most important, it's because that's where my Inner Being is, and I only have to hook up just for a few seconds; I only have to hold myself in satisfaction for a few seconds before the momentum of my connection with All That Is and Source Energy and ?my Inner Being becomes my dominant point of attraction, and then I'm off and rolling.?
?
Helpful?
?
Q: It is helpful. And I've been aware of that process that you are describing. And so, what I believe you're trying to tell me is that I need to disassociate myself from the past, and just live in the moment and focus on what makes me feel good.
?
A: That is what we were saying, but we would say it a little differently, because when you try to disassociate with something, you're associating with it, because there's no such thing as no in this attraction-based Universe. So we're not asking you to avoid dissatisfaction, we're asking you to feel for satisfaction, and it makes all the difference in the world.?
?
Q: Just put my attention there, you're saying.
?
A: Jerry learned that with Esther behind the wheel in the Monster Bus, that you go where your attention is. He'd say "Oh, look at that rainbow," and off she'd go toward it. (Fun) He got so that he only pointed straight ahead because he didn't want her to look anywhere else. You do - you move in the direction of your thoughts; that, in essence, is what we're saying.
?
Q: With what I do on a daily basis, it's difficult to focus on that, because there's so much going on and it's like in the way. Everybody here has it.
?
A: But hear what you're saying, and hear the direction that you just took. And it's alright, because there's still some momentum going there, and even though we offered a very reasonable conversation, it didn't change your vibration.
?
Q: Not yet.
?
A: It just made sense to you. Your vibration will change when you begin isolating the feeling of satisfaction, and making it just slightly more dominant than that feeling that you are describing. And we get it - you came to us to chew on something to get some clarity. And if you don't know what you don't want, then you can't know what you do want, and so, it's a perfectly logical conversation to have, to point out where you are that you don't want to be in order to get clarity about where you do want to be. But you have to just sort of dig in and decide that you are going to take control of the direction of your thoughts.
?
Esther said to herself the other day (and she doesn't have it down yet, but she really meant it when she said it) "I can find satisfaction and I can maintain satisfaction, and I also occasionally find dissatisfaction because life comes at you pretty fast sometimes. And so, when dissatisfaction comes, it¡¯s because you can't control the whole world (it's not your job), and because you're eager about noticing things (or at least Esther is). And so, when she sees something that is dissatisfying, she says to herself "At least I'm not going to talk about it. I can notice it, and I can take the emotional hit on it, but I don't have to talk about it." And sometimes she does and sometimes she doesn't - it depends on how big that pushed her button.?
?
Because sometimes you're right - you have things you've been carrying around for a long time, and something in your now activates that, and off you go. And there's not something wrong with you, it just means Law of Attraction is doing what it always does, and it's lining you up. Law of Attraction does that. Law of Attraction says that which is like unto itself is drawn, so when you see something that you don't like, and you've had thoughts about not wanting it before, those thoughts are relatively easy to activate within you. But you can come to realize that the way you feel in any moment in time is really not about what's happening out there, it's only about what's happening in here; it's only about the mix of vibrations that you have going on.?
?
And we want to say again - in fact, we want to say it again and again and again and again - if you weren't really different than that, that would cause you no discomfort at all. If you were pure love, you would not take any vibrational issue with something that is hate - your Guidance System is so perfect, all the time perfect. So just play with it, be easy about it. And most of all, what we'd like to say to you (others too) is don't beat up on yourself.?
?
And we'd like to say this to you, too: It's not necessary that you make a proclamation to yourself (or to the world) moment by moment about how you feel about stuff. You don't have to explain nothing to nobody. But there is this feeling within most of our human friends that goes something like this: "Here I stand, and I'm a little insecure about how I fit into all of this, so if I explain myself to others and they get me, then I'll feel better." But it never works that way - have you noticed? It doesn't matter how many humans get you in your negative approach to life, you're still defying your Inner Being who really gets you. The whole world could agree with you that something is a bad thing, and that your stress is therefore justified, but if you're out of whack with your Inner Being, you're still going to feel awful. You cannot gather enough others to agree with you about how bad something is to ever feel good about how bad it is; it's never going to work that way.
?
So you have a choice of feeling good or asking others to get you. And if we were standing in your physical shoes, we'd give that up, because no matter how hard you try, they're not going to get you. They're not going get you because you're not getable, they're not supposed to get you. They're not supposed to use you as their barometer of their Guidance, although that's what humans do all the time to each other. You think if you can get enough people to get you , then your insecurity will go away. The more you look for other people to get you, you realize they're so fickle - they get you in one minute and they don't get you in the next, and then you try to be all these different things so that you're getable all the time. And you know, you do that to each other because when someone is tuned-in, tapped-in, turned-on, they're under the influence of Source Energy and they're holding you as their object of attention - oh, that feels so good to you because all that delicious wellbeing and Pure Positive Energy and love and appreciation is washing over you, and if you're meeting it just a little bit, it feels so good.
?
But if you look to that person for that, and that person is sort of unstable in that connection, they're going to let you down right away. That's looking for love in all the wrong places. If there is anything that we would like you to leave this gathering decided about, it's to not care whether other humans get you or not, because sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. But if you care about them getting you and sometimes they do, then when they don't, that will really get you. But if you're looking to your Inner Being, who is always there for you, your Inner Being will never let you down. When you reach for thoughts of satisfaction, you will always find them because your Inner Being is always there. It takes a little reorientation, but it's not hard - you'll see.?
?
Enough for now??
?
Q: Yes it is.?
