It is not about hard work

Hard work is not the path to Well- Being. Feeling good is the path to Well-Being. You don't create through action; you create through vibration. And then, your vibration calls action from you.

Wellbeing is Natural

You don't have to work at being in the high vibration that is natural to you, because it is natural to you. But you do have to stop holding the thoughts that cause you to lower your vibration. It's a matter of no longer giving your attention to things that don't allow your cork to float or don't allow you to vibrate in harmony with who you really are.

How strongly do you desire it?

If your desire is strong enough, it doesn't matter what your beliefs are. If you have a desire that is strong enough, that desire will be the dominant vibration, and it will over-ride any other vibration that you have.

The Universe does not care...

The Universe does not know whether the vibration that you're offering is because of something you're observing or something you're remembering or something that you are imagining. It just receives the vibration and answers it with things that match it.

Joy-based Universe

Anything you desire, the Universe can find a way to let it happen within the context of people’s natural, joyful desires. It must be, for this is a joy-based Universe.

And so, as you watch children playing in the mud and having great joy in it, you might not enjoy playing in the mud, but they do. And so, there’s somebody enjoying doing something you don’t want to do. And that pretty much applies to everything. There’s someone who would enjoy doing every thing that you don’t want to do. And if it really came down to where there was really not one person willing to do that thing, you would develop another way of approaching it. There are a lot of things that were in your history that you no longer participate in. You left them behind because no one wanted to do them.

Freedom

The children desire freedom! And every particle of their being from their Source says, "You are free. You are so free, that every thought you offer, the entire Universe jumps to respond to it." And so, to take that kind of knowledge and try to confine it in any way, defies the Laws of the Universe. You must allow your children to be free, because the entire Universe is set up to accommodate that. And anything you do to the contrary will only bring you regret. You cannot contain those that cannot be contained. It defies Law.

Sickness and Wellbeing

You could stand here sick with ten illnesses today, and tomorrow have no evidence of any of them. Your body has the ability to replenish itself that fast. But most of you do not have the ability to change your thoughts that fast. So the amount of time that it takes between sickness and wellness is only the amount of time that it takes for me to figure out how to let it in — for me to figure out how to feel good, when I'm looking at something that makes me feel bad

Wellbeing

In your world today there are countless action remedies, medicines, surgeries, and exercises offered—but there are not enough actions in the world to compensate for Vibrational resistance. Our daily meditations will provide a basis, or nucleus, for physical improvement; and it will also enhance any other treatments and remedies that you may already be involved in.

Since every disease or unwanted condition exists because Well-Being is being disallowed, then, in the absence of that disallowance, Well-Being will return.

It is a common thing for people to begin to lean in the direction of recovery, only to stop and take score too soon. And when they still find unwanted symptoms or conditions, they then offer resistant thought and lose the improved ground they have gained. With consistent releasing of resistance, all unwanted conditions will subside, returning you to your natural state of Well-Being.

Think and feel-leave others out of the picture

You see, you're giving others too much power as you even acknowledge how they make you feel. What you've got to decide is how I'm going to feel. We would go to a Virtual Reality and we would practice feeling good. Manifestations come on the heels of what you've conjured in thought

Misalignment

Anything you do to overcome or prevent, causes a spotlight on the very thing you are wanting to overcome and prevent. You cannot take enough action to compensate for the Energy that you're flowing.

Children

The little ones still remember how to use the power of their imagination. They are still engaged in the utilization of their imagination — that is one of the reasons that keeps them so exhilarated.

Parenting

Parents don't want their children to make the wrong decisions, so they don't allow them to make the decision. And then the child becomes dependent, and then the parent resents that, and it gets off into a blameful thing early on. If you are encouraging children to do all that they can do — and not squelching the natural eagerness that is within them, so that they can shine and thrive and show you and themselves how good they are at adapting to physical experience — then everyone wins.

We never get it done

You never get it done, and you cannot get it wrong. Life is supposed to be fun: you are creator, you are a focusing mechanism, and you are here in an environment that is very conducive to that. When you get hold of an idea, play it out for the pleasure in it. If you are doing it for any other reason, then you are not connecting to your Source Energy.

Pay attention to how you feel

So, the truth is, there's not one path. The truth is, there's not only one right path. The truth is, all paths can be made to be the right path. The truth is, that every individual has a different path. And that different path that every individual is launching incrementally—and amending constantly—that true path is known by Source and is guided by Source if you will pay attention to the way you feel.

Following the beat of your own drummer.

"Do I have a responsibility to make the whole world beat to my drum?" No, nor could you. You beat your drum, and the Universe will respond to the drum that you are beating… There are as many different worlds being lived by as many different perceivers of the world as there are perceivers of the worlds.

Say YES!

When you say "Yes" to something, you include something you do want in your experience. When you say "No" to something, you include something you don't want in your experience.

Being right

Even in your rightness about a subject, when you try to push your rightness toward another who disagrees, no matter how right you are, it causes more pushing against. In other words, it isn't until you stop pushing that any real allowing of what you want can take place.

Abundance---all vibrational

Your action has nothing to do with your abundance! Your abundance is a response to your vibration. Of course, your belief is part of your vibration. So if you believe that action is part of what brings your abundance, then you've got to unravel that.

Alignment on a daily basis

If you wait until your body is completely dehydrated before you drink something or completely emaciated before you eat something, your body can get far out of balance. While it is possible to eventually bring your body back to a state of well-being—it is much easier to maintain a healthy physical balance than to recover it after losing it.

Most people never put themselves into the dramatic situation where they are without water or food to the point of doing damage to their physical bodies; however, it is not uncommon for people to deprive their bodies of something equally important: alignment with Source Energy.

In the same way that it is a good idea to drink when you feel the indication of thirst—and therefore maintain your Well-Being long before dehydration is experienced—it is equally important to change the thought and release resistance at the first indication of negative emotion. For while it is certainly possible to withstand negative emotion for long periods of time, it is not the optimal experience for the cells of your physical body.

When you learn to release resistance in the early, subtle stages, your physical body must thrive. Thriving is what is natural to you.

New Story

There is no right or wrong way to tell your improved story. It can be about your past, present, or future experiences. The only criterion that is important is that you be conscious of your intent to tell a better-feeling, improved version of your story. Telling many good-feeling short stories throughout your day will change your point of attraction. Just remember that the story you tell is the basis of your life. So tell it the way you want it to be.

What does abundance feel like?

Just wanted to share a transcript of a video that has been very helpful to me the past few weeks:

HS: I really want to resonate with the source within me, particularly on the subject of money. I want one signal.

Abe: So when you say I want to resonate with Source, what does that mean in practical terms? How do you know when you are, and how do you know when you're not?

HS: It feels crap & like lack when I'm not....

Abe: So feeling crap is not resonating with Source.

HS: No. (laughter)

Abe: So, so it's a feeling thing. So, can you define it, or better still, can you conjure images that cause you to feel it, & then interplay with us while you're feeling it?

HS: Yes.

Abe: This is the work, in other words, find some way to feel it, because it must be annoying to you when we say that the emotion IS the manifestation. So go get that emotion, And you say, well I could no more go get the emotion than I can go get the million dollars right now, this red hot minute. And we say, well you probably can't go get the million dollars within the next ten minutes, but we know you can get the emotion. So, what is the emotion that you're trying to create here? What emotion are you wanting to manifest?

HS: Abundance.

Abe: But, what does abundance feel like? How do you feel abundance? What does abundance feel like? It's not a very good emotional word. I feel abundant, we get it, but....

HS: Uh, this is where I'm confused.....

Abe: Well, don't be. Just try here, what does abundance feel like? What, what, use emotional words that are equivalent to abundance.

HS: Ease.

Abe: Really good one, really good abundant word, what else?

HS: Peace, excitement, joy....freedom.

Abe: Alright, now get a little more....these are all good, but really focus on abundance, and abundance to me feels like.......it feels like.......confidence.....it feels like.......ease.......it feels like........free......it feels like........flow.......it feels like.......

HS: It feels like freedom. And the fullness of who I really am.

Abe: Because, freedom from bondage. flow as opposed to blockage, so you just wanna keep massaging it & playing with it, because you can't play with those words, & the variety of words that all sort of speak to it, without beginning to evoke the feeling within you. In other words, so as you identify the emotions that you're wanting to conjure, or create, then you can fill it in by saying I want to feel free......during segment of refreshment, Esther was lying on the sofa & reaching for a feeling of freedom, and of ease, and an image came to her mind that she has not thought about in many, many years......of being very young, & by herself, & taking the blanket out between the lilac bushes which was up against a fence, which was a natural little hut, & spreading the blanket, & just lying there on the blanket, in the bushes, and just feeling the Well Being. And as she remembered that, she remembered how it smelled, she remembered how it felt, in other words, she was reaching for a feeling, and clearly found the feeling which then brought a further manifestation of a memory that matched it. You see what we're getting at? Now, in some cases, we might have said to you well can you think of a time when you felt free, or can you think of a time, but sometimes it's harder to go there because thinking of a time when you felt free is more specific than just finding the emotion. The emotion really is the first stage of the manifestation. And if you can get there, and you can, just by using productive words, so let's not leave this easily.....keep using abundant FEELING words. Just keep reaching for them until you find some that really click in for you.

HS: Ok. It feels like freedom, and joy, and allowing, and alignment, and......

Abe: Now, you're doing fine but you're going so fast........take each word & savor it, feel...freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, because usually the word freedom doesn't feel very free to most people, because you're still trying to free yourself from something that isn't free. So, that's not always the case, but usually...... And so, not the best word in the world to use, so find one that feels better & don't go so fast.

HS: Ok. Uh, relaxed.

Abe: Relaxed. Now just stay there. Relaxed, relaxed. What do you mean, relaxed? What does relaxed feel like? What does relaxed feel like? It feels like.....no pressure.....it feels like not having to do anything.......it feels like just giving myself space.........just giving myself, use words, use words to describe it & therefore to conjure the feeling.

HS: And, it feels soothing.

Abe: Soothe's a good word. Soothe, soothing.

HS: Kind of like a bath, a soothing bath. Harmony, harmony.

Abe: All good words. None of them quite on it, but all good words. So keep reaching.

HS: Um, slow. Feel ease & flow. Streaming?

Abe: Right place, right time. Nothing that needs to be done. Everything workin' out for me. Universe has my back. Worthy? mmmm... worthy. (laughter) Deserving. Capable. Sure. Confident. Ease. Good. Fun. Free. No right or wrong to it, just keep feelin' around until something moves within you. Anything movin'?

HS: (Silence)

Abe: Words not so important. What does abundance feel like? What does abundance feel like? What does abundance feel like? It's hard to make that transition, because abundance feels like going & buying something, it feels like going somewhere, it feels like being able to do what I want to do. Most of you, when you're talking about abundance, are in a rather rebellious state.

HS: Yes.

Abe: It's like you're going to wrestle it to the ground & kill it. It's like you're going to conquer the dragons that scare you. It's like you're going.......it's like......

HS: And I'm so annoyed, yeah.......

Abe: And, and so even the word abundance is not very life giving to you because it conjures more lack within you, especially when there's abundance of all kinds, theres' abundance of oxygen, there's abundance of beauty, there's abundance of sunshine out there today on a day that it was supposed to rain. There's abundance of all kinds, there's abundance of clarity in this room, there's abundance of love in this room, there's a lot of abundance but you're not talking about abundance relative to those things. You wanna point abundance toward the escape from the bondage of not having enough abundance. And so you have to play with it until you feel it sort of break loose within you.

HS: Okay.

Abe: So keep going. You'll feel it shift, & it's worth sticking with it until you do. Because when we said to you, you can create this manifestation of the feeling of abundance in 10 minutes, we're not kidding, and this is how you do it. This is how you do it. And it's so worth doing it, because once you find it, now you've got the vibration of it & everything else fills in around it.
So it's really worth goin' for it. It's worth goin' for it, to most people it feels like a waste of time, you should be lookin' at the want ads.

HS: Yeah. (laughs) yeah. (laughter)

Abe: You should be doing something more productive than feeling around with fluffy feelings. But if you are able to conjure the FEELING of abundance, using whatever words that make it easier for you to do it, once it clicks into place, the emotion will become your first manifestation, and then other thoughts will come, rendezvous will come, money will come.

HS: Okay. Well, the next word that's in my head is passion. But, I don't know if that's jumping too far ahead though.

Abe: It really isn't, it's a perfect match to abundance. Because with abundance comes the ability to passionately explore any avenue that is important to you. So, stay there for just a little bit.

HS: (Silence)

Abe: At my most abundant feeling moment in life, this & this & this was happening. What was it?

HS: It felt synchronistic. Um, travel, I was traveling. I felt free because I was traveling. So, maybe I was responding to the outside thing? As opposed to the inside? Um, I felt alive. I felt free, I felt my Source, I felt my reason for being, that's what I felt like.

Abe: I associate abundance with a feeling of power. With a feeling of strength. With a feeling of being in charge. With a feeling of capable. I feel capable. I feel sure. I feel strong. I feel abundant, I feel strong. I feel eager. I feel confident. I feel sure, even cocky. I feel in love with life, I feel zest & vigor, & I feel robust. I feel.......you see how more words are starting to come, more words are starting to feel applicable.

HS: Yes.

Abe: As you stay there longer. And as you stay there longer, finding which ones fit & which ones don't, & which ones take you a little further, this is the work. So, now when you use the word abundance, it's not an empty hollow word. It's a word that has caused you to practice some emotion. Or, even better than practicing the emotions, conjuring the emotions. So, now, think of people that you associate with abundance. And now see which of those words apply to them. They're free, they are powerful, they are sure, they seem to be having fun. They seem to have the world by the tail. They are the movers & the shakers. They are the ones that make things happen. They're the ones that get to do whatever they want to do. They are not limited by money, ever. Their limitations are different than money, and so they can play things out on a bigger stage. And then they have the opportunity to play with more people. And so, and they have the ability to attract to them, or to bring to them, or to hire to them, the best of the best in whatever field is important to them. And so they can surround themselves with powerful people who are big thinkers, who know what to do, who have experience, and so, the more of that that comes around me, then the more abundant that I will be. And hasn't it shifted dramatically, just in this little bit of conversation? So then, so now you're not doing it because you have an ulterior motive of wanting to conjure the emotion so that more will follow, this emotion that you're conjuring is starting to feel pretty good. Now, this manifestation of these ideas is starting to feel good, isn't it?

HS: Yes.

Abe: Esther's been saying, I....want.....a jet! (laughter) So, she's at the airport on Delta, on a big old clumsy awkward jet, that has way too many other people on it with her,

HS: Yes.

Abe: And she's looking out at all these slick little jets. Ooooh, that's a really pretty jet, that's a really pretty jet, oooh I really like THAT jet over there, I really like THAT jet over there. And the emotion, the emotion of the jet is just thrilling to her. In other words, she doesn't have to HAVE the jet, she WILL, she doesn't have to HAVE the jet, she WILL, (laughter) she doesn't have to HAVE the jet, she WILL, she doesn't have to HAVE the jet, to have the FEELING! She only wants the jet for the feeling of freedom. But the idea of the jet is a feeling of freedom. So, she can't look at those jets without grinning. She can't look at them without......and she says ooooh, you know, you just drive your car right up to the jet! You just drive your car up to the jet & you, you push the button & there's your luggage exposed & somebody puts your luggage from the car, into the jet!

HS/Audience: (laughter)

Abe: Oooooh........oooooh! And then, you get in the jet........and five minutes later, you're in the air!! There's no.......(laughter).......there's no........it's just.......total freedom! Total freedom to go where I wanna go, when I wanna go, where I wanna go, with who I wanna go.........but it starts with a feeling. And then it evolves to something even more, to an idea that's even more thrilling in nature........which evolves to a rendezvous with everything that is necessary for the bringing about of the full manifestation. We just want you to let the emotional manifestation ring your bell........as much as the manifestation, because it's possible that the jet will only make her happy for the afternoon. (laughter) It's possible, you see, but all of this time moving to it, is life-giving experience. Yes?

HS: Yes.
