[Abraham-Hicks] Being Specific
Ann Marie Michaels
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.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. Ann Marie |

I agree with Ann Marie. When I was "creating" my relationship...the perfect
mate for me....I did not have one thought about anything other than how I wanted to feel when we were together. At the time, it just didnt occur to me because I was so focused on the emotional aspect. Other than that I offered nothing. But when he appeared, he was so many things that I adored....the perfect height, build, interests, tastes....all bundled up in one scrumptious package. yumyumyum. The most clever thing though was that he was only 22 and still like to skate-board, boogie-board, do wheelies on bikes and such....a real "kid" still.....Which was unbelievably PERFECT , even though I had never thought about that....but I had a 6 year old son at the time who longed for an father who would get down and play with him! This was even better....a stepfather who was still playing himself! Now that my son is 17 and my husband 33 they're into the same alternative music and have basically grown up as pals together. The Universe...God....Collective Consciousness....KNOWS how and what to deliver..down to every last detail, even better than we can imagine ! Sometimes we get the details before- hand and its just a great joy to know and feed our creative process...but not a necessity for receiving perfection. Trust! K IWell guess what.... I won! BUT (there's always a but), I only got 2 thegot it and then some.Dear Pen, reason you won only $2 was because you were not specific enough. This is |

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)? 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. 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? Can I get some insight. Please. 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.

Well, I can hear the voice of Ester,
speaker for Abe, saying, "you must get clear about what it is you want". This is on many tapes. If the Universe already knows what I'm wanting, then why would Abe say "get clear on what you want". I believe it's even on the 1st or 2nd tape about the Law of Attraction or on Deliberate Creation. So maybe Abe has stated a couple of things that contradict each other. The sentence that felt right for you was that of the Universe already knowing... the sentence that felt right for me was that of being clear about what I want. When you are scripting or doing VB, this is not a vague process. You are writing/seeing in great detail which brings up emotion and good vibes/feelings. What's that game Connee has on her web site about 52 seconds (or some amount of seconds)? How would that game work if you just sat there for 52 seconds and said, OK Universe, you know what I want... give it to me. OK Universe, you know what I want... Over and over for 52 seconds. So do what feels right for you, but for me, visualizing what I want in detail, like it already exists (another thing Abe says to do), is my way of creating and allowing. So, while I thank you for your opinion Ann Marie, if you re-read my post, you'll see it says, "my lesson from this..." Your reply stated: I did not say "us". I said "my".So I don't believe the problem is with us notbeing specific enough. I was just sharing the lesson I got out of it. (not that I don't have work to do on allowing...) Thanks for your reply, Pen --- Kathy <tomkat00@...> wrote:

Hi Pen...In my understanding ( for me) they are saying to get clear on the
vibration offered....of course I agree if seeing details helps clarify the vibe...then that works! For me it hasnt always been necessary. Sometimes I have known exactly the details and when I get this...yes, it feels very good to imagine and play with such visions and desires. Saying...I want a new red car with a vibration of ..because I hate my old green car ...is what is not clear...the emotions are mixed. Or saying I want money because I have so many bills . I feel more clarity with a focus on the emotion, for example...freedom, happiness, abundance, passion, excitement... without so much emphasis on how its gonna show up...and was saying that this yields exactly the desired outcome with perfection regarding the teensiest details. I know how I want to FEEL! I do believe that we have individual desires that help us in how and where we would like to flow energy in a particular way....but whether Im sitting blank and vibrating feeling good/happiness, or whether Im seeing in great detail, designing my life and feeling good....the U is going to match the energy expressed and bring me what is perfect for me. " I feel good" ....is clear to the U...and it will match with more! I agree with you wholeheartedly on "to each his own"...whatever works is good! And it is as we each believe. Yes, it feels very good to me that the Universe/God/Higher Self always knows what I am wanting. K |

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? Dear Liz, How can I block delivery of what I want from the U? Let me count the ways, or at least show some examples. Abe sometimes refers to it as "that thing that I do." You may be a ping pong ball: Dear U, give me a vacation in Tahiti! [Tahiti desire] That's silly, the U couldn't possibly give me a vacation to Tahiti. I don't even have a passport, let alone a vacation wardrobe. And who would watch my kids? [No Tahiti] But, I really, really want a vacation in Tahiti. It's so beautiful there! [Go, Tahiti!] But, I would hate to have to be on a plane so long! Especially with this terrorism thing. [No Tahiti] But, I could get my writing off the ground if I were in Tahiti! I would be so inspired to write my novel! [Tahiti] But, I wonder what illnesses people get in Tahiti! I mean, like it's a really foreign country. And maybe tourists are a real target for the local mafia! [Never mind that nobody's ever said that Tahiti has a mafia -- It still tells the U why you don't want Tahiti.] Or maybe you don't believe you "deserve" to have this thing: I really, really want to vacation in Tahiti, experience the incredibly gorgeous beaches! Laze in such a spot of beauty. But, I don't deserve that. Why should I be the one to get to go to Tahiti? I'm not that good of a person. If I were a really good person, I wouldn't even want a trip to Tahiti. I'd want to stay home and be a really good mother and advance in my job. I've never done anything to deserve such a wonderful trip. As Dr. Phil says, "What is this behavior getting for you?": I would love to have a vacation in Tahiti! But, I couldn't possibly leave my aging neighbor to cope by himself. He relies on me to take hot meals to him each day. [Ever heard of Meals on Wheels?] And, I have to be the one to drive the car pool everyday. I mean, those other parents have no sense of responsibility! And, if I left the kids with my mother, why, she doesn't even iron their clothes before they go to school! I never want my kids to be embarrassed by wearing wrinkled sweats in gym class! My boss would be totally ineffectual if I weren't there to take care of all the last minute work that he throws at me. No, no Tahiti for me! [whine, whine, whine -- I'm such a martyr! Everyone needs me. They'd be lost without me. Therefore, I am a wonderful person!) I really don't believe the U can deliver: I really want this wonderful vacation to Tahiti, U! I'll have such fun! Thoughts to self: This is silly. The U doesn't even know I exist. And, if it did, it can't go around delivering things to people. What an absurd idea. I know that I get the perfect parking spot every time now, but that's just a coincidence. And getting those free tickets to Paul McCartney's concert was just a fluke -- it wasn't because I sent out a lightning bolt of desire. The U certainly did not take that policy I needed from wherever I had put it and place it on my bed! It must have been with other papers and fallen on the bed. I can't get things unless I work for them: It's always been my dream to go to Tahiti! It's what I want to do someday. But, I don't see how I'll ever be able to afford it. My job just doesn't pay much. But, I'm not qualified to do anything else. I've saved and saved, but something always comes up that I have to fix and there goes my savings. I put money into the stock market and it's now worth less than I paid for it. I don't even play the lottery because I never win things. I must have been born under an unlucky start. Nobody in my family's ever been wealthy, so I'll never get an inheritance. And if some stranger left me money, I wouldn't accept it! That would just be wrong! Maybe I could work a second job for the money because nobody else is ever going to help me. I've had to work hard for every thing I've ever gotten, and that's just the way the way life is! Keep improving what I wished for: I really want a vacation in Tahiti! The blue seas, the sandy beaches, the four star hotel, lazing on the sand and drinking pina coladas. [Go] No, not pina coladas. There must be some local drink. Yeah, that's what I want -- local cuisine! [Stop] The other people there will be super friendly and relaxed. We'll really hit it off. I may even meet an interesting man. [Go] But, I need to lose ten pounds before I would feel comfortable starting a romance with someone new. I guess I'll have to diet for a few months before I could go. [Stop] I can just see myself -- laying under a palm tree, totally relaxed, reading a romance novel! Wearing a red sarong over my swimsuit. [Go] No, not a red sarong. A blue one would look better! And do I want to wear flowered sandals or gold sandals? [Stop] [The U can't deliver what you want if you keep changing your mind. The U starts delivering the package, complete with pina coladas. You send it back because you want local cuisine. The U sends the package, but with local cuisine. You send it back, asking for the additional friends and that special someone. The U sends a new package, to be delivered after you'e dieted for a few months and lost ten pounds. You return the package because now you want a palm tree, a romance novel and a red sarong. The U adds all of your requests and sends you the new package. You get the idea. <grin>] So, Liz, what is "that thing that you do?" Maybe you do more than one of them? Me, too. But, once you know what it is, you can stay alert and as soon as you see yourself doing that thing that you do, you can stop doing it and start vibrating on a new vibe! (pivoting) Sometimes I just tell myself to vibrate on a vibration that attracts whatever it is that I want. As long as I believe, it works! Good,Good, Good Vibrations!

On being Specific...I think my american express card from the relative was a
perfect example of not being clear about what I wanted...You see...I made the intent to "experience unlimited financial resources" and the thought felt really good and so something similiar manifested....but the motivation behind it was..."because I dont like all the limitations I now have...I dont like budgeting, I dont like having to check prices, I dont like limitations period.!" I didnt line up and offer my energy clearly...without negative baggage. And so I kinda sorta, a little bit got something like " Unlimited financial resources" ...in a way...but not what I had in mind which would feel like cash flowing in my bank account or something to make me feel this way. I appreciate the card and have put it in perspective but Now that I think of it and ask ...was my vibe really clear and resonating clearly of personal wealth and freedom? ...NO! Because if it were I would've offered the request from another feeling....one of joy over the idea of financial freedom, instead of need. With the card ....I still "need" the owner of the card! K |

Well, I can hear the voice of Ester,I don't feel Abe has made any contradictory statements. I think sometimes we haven't gotten a complete understanding of what they've said (one of the BIG reasons I love this list - so very helpful for me in getting clarity/new insights). To me the reason for encouraging us to be clear about what we want is so we'll feel excited about it - be in joyful anticipation of it. I have noticed with my own desires sometimes I'm totally vibed up without being specific. Other times I put a lot more into it - lots of details, etc. - and when I do that it's usually because I'm having such a good time doing it (and that's what it's all about - right? ;0) ) Somewhere Abe said to be specific/detailed as long as it feels good. The instant it no longer feels good switch to something else. Talking to others who have attended recent seminars, isn't that a new game Abe is helping us play - switching quickly from one VR to another, keeping a consistently high vibe going? It's all good. In Joy, Jeri |

What a great imagination you have Kathaleen, coupled with a wonderful gift
in using it to enlighten. Sometimes I just tell myself to vibrate on a vibration that attracts whatever it is that I want. Aslong as I believe, it works!This is awesome! I wonder/worry sometimes what vibrational level I should be at to attract what I want (higher? lower?) - this totally eliminates that question and makes it just a fun game again. Thank you Jeri |
Ann Marie Michaels
Yes, yes, yes! This is TOTALLY awesome. Very very clever!!!! I so often forget that I can ask for help in ways like this. As Abe always tells us, "You make too much of all of this." What if it is a whole lot easier than we think?!Sometimes I just tell myself to vibrate on a vibrationThis is awesome! I wonder/worry sometimes what vibrational level I should I am going to go home and do this tonight. Thanks, Kathleen -- you ROCK! |
Ann Marie Michaels
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. Ann Marie PS: Oooh -- I just gave myself goosebumps. This is the exact posting I was needing to read today -- and I just wrote it! LOL!! |

Yes, I think somewhere in my focus
I must have been coming from a vibration that was not totally positive. Maybe I too was not offering the thought from a vibration of abundance, but from lack. In addition to not see clearly all 6 numbers being correct. This would explain my $2.00 winnings!

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 ----- Original Message -----

IMO, this phrase is probably what you were vibrating: Knowing I had nothing in the bank, no income & no job. Sounds like you were asking from a place 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! I love your name -- Delia! How beautiful! SPCL, Kathaleen ;-) ----- Original Message -----

What came to me as I read your post was to stay with the feeling you had when you believed you would be getting the $1600 in 4 days and were feeling wonderful. Replay that again and again for the good feelings and just wait for the U to deliver. I'm seeing you with money floating down all around you and a huge smile on your face!
