From Abraham-Hicks Quotes Mailing List:

There will be a time, not so far from now, that you will look back on this phase of your life and instead of condemning it or beating up on it… Instead of blaming or guilting, you will feel appreciation for it, because you will understand that a renewed desire for life was born out of this time period that will bring you to physical heights that you could not have achieved without the contrast that gave birth to this desire.

Excerpted from a workshop in Boston, MA on Saturday, October 4th, 1997

All Is Well

You know, I can so see this as the truth. My life, now, is dramatically different and better than what it was before I started listening to Abraham. I can see, as if lit by a spot light, how making it through the contrast has vastly improved my today. I am happier and healthier than I have ever been. Had it not been for the contrast I have lived, I wouldn’t be where or who I am now. I so appreciate the contrast.

And you know what, I did that. I created this manifestation of my vibration. I didn’t understand why, “out of the blue”, I got this wickedly bad head cold. I never get sick, unless I have been paddling ferociously upstream about something. I haven’t been doing that, have I?

Actually, I guess I have been, unintentionally. Well, duh, really, why should I be surprised? I have spent the last three weeks working with Martha to get control of my core issues that are affecting my ability to deal with my current situations in a better way. I have been dredging up painful emotions that are not serving me, and not only dredging them up, but rehashing them. Yeah, I guess that would be considered paddling upstream. It didn’t feel good back then and doesn’t feel good now either. I am dredging them up and hopefully tapping them away with EFT.

Abraham-Hicks

It is very liberating to discover the guidance that comes forth from within, and, in fact, it is essential to learning to mold Energy, because you have to find some standard of measurement. “If you’ve got negative emotion and you don’t know what it means and you don’t release it, don’t worry, it will get bigger. And if you still don’t recognize it, so by Law of Attraction, you continue to hold it to you, don’t worry, it will get bigger…” And so, if you have things that are manifesting in a way that does not please you, all it means is that you have a habit of vibration that somehow matches that.

Really, I am working on releasing these negative emotions and I am working on moving them to a different place. It is sort of like being a detective for me because a lot of these things, that are deep down, have been buried for so long that I kind of forgot they were there. I don’t see them for what they are because I have had them so long that they are ingrained in my actions and reactions. It is sort of like a well rehearsed script that is so comfortable, yet so dysfunctional. I am tired of being in an automatic dysfunctional rut. Blech. Learning to feel again is a tough thing. Learning to feel worthy is just as tough.

I have seen, first hand, in the last two days or so how well law of attraction really does work. As I dredge up all these feelings, I am attracting things to me that match the feelings that I have uncovered and felt and examined. It’s good though, because even though I am having the automatic reactions to my now circumstances, I am finding an instant recognition of what is going on. That is the first step in moving beyond the automatic programming. I’m lucky because my husband is working hard to get to where he needs to be and is willing to work with me as I work through my issues at the same time. We have issues, but we sit down and examine what happened afterwards. We are working on reprogramming ourselves on an individual basis and as a couple.

The time has come for me to stop being the victim. It was a comfortable, well performed, role for a long time, but now, I choose to claim my power. I have control of my life and how it turns out. No one else. I choose to take full responsibility for how things are going and to stop blaming others for how I am choosing to feel! I choose to feel good. I choose to feel worthy. I choose to feel loved no matter what. Some strong choices, for a stronger, happier, new me.

Life is about the journey. There will be ups and downs. It is how you choose to react to the ups and downs that makes all the difference. I choose to revel in the contrast that I experience because the contrast tells you so much about where you are and which way you need to turn.

Let your dominant intent be…

Let your dominant intent be to feel good which means be playful, have fun, laugh often, look for reasons to appreciate and practice the art of appreciation. And as you practice it, the Universe, who has been watching you practice, will give you constant opportunities to express it. So that your life just gets better and better and better.

Excerpted from the workshop in Atlanta, GA on Saturday, September 13th, 1997

It appears that I have missed several days of my appreciations, but oh not so I have been doing them all day long and sometimes, sitting down to type them all out just isn’t possible.

On my post, The Time is Now, I had a friend ask me if my words matched my feelings. She sensed that it was a little bit off. My reply was that it was a bit of “faking it until you make it” but that I was aspiring to feel and beleive what I put. I am glad to report that I am so feeling what I posted now. That conscious decision to feel better and to take some small steps to get there make a tremendous difference.

Appreciation and Meditation make all the difference. If you say you don’t have enough time in your day to do these things, you are just making excuses. At most, you will spend about 20 minutes out of 1440 minutes in your day. Abraham states that it takes, at most, 15 minutes to get the benefit of connection. Appreciation can be done all at one time, like a post in a blog, or all through out your day. It really is easy peasy if you commit to making a difference in how you are feeling a focusing.

My Appreciations For Today and Past Days:

My dream that I was talking to Abraham!
A fabulous Meet-Up. Great people and discussions.
Martha and EFT
Husband’s good mood when I was checking in via phone
Running into someone that I know at BJs
Paper Mario
Bright blue skies
Wind chimes chiming
Laugher
Meditation (Which I am off to do now! )

The current Abraham CDs are absolutely full of some amazing gems. It seems as if they have took a bit of a leap in their teaching style as of late. I have SO many quotes lined up I just need to manifest the time to transcribe them all.

Considering how I have been manifesting in the last month, I found this quote particularly powerful. I hope you think so too

Abraham: You’ve gotta tell the story the way you want it to be because you’ve got to care more about how you feel than telling the truth of the reality you are currently living. It does not serve you to be truthful about things you don’t want to keep repeating. You see?

Hot Seater: I see. So instead of looking for an action to make me feel good, I can just look for a thought that will make me feel good?

Abraham:
Yes, because looking for the action that makes you feel good makes you feel bad because you can’t find it from that vibrational stand. So it just makes you feel more frustrated. In other words, feeling like you feel or feeling like Esther’s feeling about these incidents, that don’t seem very important, but they matter to her, feeling the way you feel and then trying to take action, from that feeling place just keeps giving you the same results that keep proving to you that what you thought was true.

“I knew that would happen.” How often do you say that? “I KNEW that would happen!” and we say GOOD that means you understand law of attraction. “I KNEW that would happen!”

So you’ve got to train yourself into different knowing. And so, when you say I can’t see how this is going to break loose. I can’t see what’s going to happen. I don’t know whose going to help me. I don’t know how or when it’s going to come about.

But when you say:

But I do know that it would feel good when it does;

and I do know that I deserve good things to happen to me;

and I do know that law of attraction is responsive;

and I do know that I have been worrying;

and I do know that the worry that I have been having and the worry that I am getting now are all a vibrational match;

and I do know that it’s possible for me to think differently and feel differently;

and I do know I haven’t been doing a very good job of that;

so I do know the results I have been getting are appropriate to how I have been thinking and feeling;

and I do like the idea that I am in charge of my thoughts;

and I do like the idea that my emotions tell me whether I am helping myself or hindering myself;

and I do like it when I change the subject and my worry lifts;

and I do like it when I think about all the things in my life that are going well that bring me no worry;

and I do like knowing that the universe is responsive to my vibration;

and I do like knowing that I can offer a vibration deliberately;

and I do like knowing that I can get better at that;

and I do like knowing that nothing’s gone really wrong because I can get to anywhere I want to be from where I am;

and I do like knowing that when I am living what I don’t want, I am more clear about what I do want so even when it’s not manifesting the way I want it to, I do know that my vibrational escrow is improving;

and I do like knowing that all that I want is in that vibrational escrow;

and I do like knowing that the universe is aware of that;

and I do like knowing that law of attraction is responding to that vibrational escrow;

and I do like knowing that the larger part of me is already over there reaping the benefit of having lived all of that;

and I like knowing that the larger part of me KNOWS that it will be good for me and is calling me toward it;

and I do like knowing that when I hear the call and move in that direction I feel good;

and I do like knowing that when I don’t move in that direction, but in the other direction, I feel bad;

I do like knowing that I am consciously aware of my worry because I do like knowing that my worry is my indication that I’m not letting it happen;

I do like knowing all of that;

and I do like knowing that I can find thoughts that feel less and less worry;

and I do like knowing that now I feel inspired to do that;

I do like knowing that Esther and Jerry, as much as they know about deliberate creation, still, often, are hung up on telling things like they are;

I do like knowing that it is sort of a natural impulse to report in on how things are;

and I do like knowing that the reporting in on how thing are is what slows us all up and makes us not get to where we really want to be as quickly as we could;

I do like knowing that;

and I do like knowing that where I am is not a bad place;

I do like the feeling of making peace with where I am;

I do like knowing that I am a powerful being;

and I do like knowing how good it’s going to feel when it breaks loose for me;

and I do like the feeling of hope that it will break loose for me;

and I am looking forward to the feeling of knowing that it will break loose for me;

but meanwhile, I’m going to opt for the feeling of hope because it feels so much better than the feeling of worry,

and the more I think here, the feeling of worry is beginning to feel a little ridiculous to me because I am beginning to realize that the feeling that I have is in response to my thought, not in response to the reality.

And the only thing that has been messing me up is that I’ve been thinking about what is, and therefore messing up the reality. It’s my thoughts that create not the reality that creates.

OH, there it is, OH there it is! OH there it is! OOOHHHHH there it is!

My manifestation is an indication. It’s not the creational point. It’s not the creation power. My observation of what is, my thought about what is is what’s creating into the future. “What is” is just an indicator.

Don’t you loving knowing that?

“What is” doesn’t mean diddly squat!
“What is” has no power.
“What is” is just the evidence of how I have been offering vibration.
“What is” is an indicator, that’s all, an indicator, that’s all.
What matters is my thought about “what is”.
And my thought about “what is” is that it is temporary. It’s full of information. It’s contrasting so it helps me get clear.
“What is” is my vantage point, it’s my launching pad. But mostly, it’s temporary.

What matters is what I am thinking and feeling.

And what I am thinking is this is going to break loose.

And what I am thinking is I will not be sad for the experience.

What I’m thinking is, it will all work out fine.

What I’m thinking is, I KNOW it’s going to work out fine.

What I’m thinking is, it’s in the process of working out fine.

What I’m thinking is, I’ve been worried erroneously and unnecessarily.

What I’m thinking is I’m pretty glad for this experience.

What I’m thinking is, I’m feeling my power.

What I’m thinking is I’ve shifted my vibration.

What I’m thinking is, I’ve changed my vibrational point of attraction.

What I’m thinking is, I’m matching what is my vibrational escrow.

What I’m thinking is, things must improve because you can’t feel better without getting better results.

It’s law!

Hotseater: I feel great already. I really appreciate your work. Thank you very much.

Abraham: Yes indeed.
