Abraham Now, 2/26/25, part 2, 21:00 – Anxiety
?
Q: Hi Abraham. I’m wondering why I have so much anxiety in my life.
I’ve had many people in my life, I did attract that were controlling over me,
or something like that. And I would like some clarity on this subject. I get
really in despair many times during a year, during the years. But of course, my
inner being is always giving answers to me. I get a release, but then after
half a day it comes back. And it's another round, or maybe another aspect that
the inner being is telling me the answer to. And of course there’ve been?changes.
But the depths, it's still very deep in me. So I want your take on this. So,
thank you so much Abraham.

Q: We're going to focus on the feeling of anxiety. And we're going to
explain it to you in a way that you may not be aware of.
?
Every emotion is about the interplay, the
relationship between your opinion right now, your perspective, and the
perspective or opinion of your inner being on the same subject at the same
time, every emotion. So if you feel really good, you're really in sync with
your inner being. And the worse you feel, the more out of sync you are.
?
So let's take the subject anxiety. We have not said this before. But
the feeling of anxiety is particularly pointed at a shortage consciousness of
some kind. Like you feel anxiety when you need money but don't have it, or need
more time and don't have enough of it, or need more space. Incredible anxiety
would be to have your oxygen tank, while you're underwater, become empty. That
would be anxiety, wouldn't it? You can't catch your breath. Of course that's
extreme. But stay with us.
?
You have something that you… If you say, “I would sort of like to have
that, but I don't believe I can have it,” your anxiety level wouldn't be very
high because you don't really want it that much. So the fact that you don't
know how to get it or it isn't there, you wouldn't feel much about it. But if
you really, really, really want something that you are doubting, then your
anxiety level is greater. Now fairly, this is true of all emotions, all negative
emotions. But anxiety is particularly pointed, isn't it?
?
So, the reason you feel anxiety is because you care
about something, you've been pondering it, and you're choosing to look at it in
a not optimistic way. You're choosing to look at it maybe as it exists, rather
than as you want it to exist. We cannot think of a better game to play to
reduce anxiety than this one. This is my opinion, but this is my intention.
Because… Play with that a little bit. You'll see.
