Abraham describes the Power of 68 seconds of Pure Thought.

A process for creating your desires based on the teachings of Abraham.

I’ve come to see things a bit different as of late. My EFT therapist said that I should be thankful for all the things that are coming up emotionally for me.

The people are showing me where I need to work on myself. If I didn’t have the vibration active in my being already, other people would not be able to “make me feel” a certain way.

A “step back” evaluation of my current emotional setpoint has me seeing that there are other things at play beyond the situation with my husband. My mom is very much back in the picture right now. She has a very dramatic situaiton going on and my husband and I are working with her to get her house sold and helping her move down here near where we are.

And I am voluntarily doing this. On the good days, I am totally okay with this. On the not so good days, it totally throws me for a loop. I have seen myself become an active participant in the drama, like times gone by. Those well worn ruts are still there and I jumped my track right back into them.

A strong current, at play in me, is in regards to people not listening to me and doing things for themselves that will help them to a better place. Things that they have said would help, and not just me being bossily telling them what to do. The frustration builds up in me because they know what they need to be doing but aren’t doing it and are complaining about it and I am right in there with them trying to fix the situation in order to make my experience better.

DOH!! Major lightbulb moment for me in regards to that revelation.

The frustration builds up in me because they know what they need to be doing but aren’t doing it and are complaining about it.

Let me rephrase that.

The frustration builds up in me because I know what I need to be doing but am not doing it and am complaining about it.

I can see that is a pretty valid comment on my part. I am making the conscious effort to get out of my husband’s and mom’s boats (That “one leg in each boat” thing is pretty harrowing! LOL) and decided to get back in my own boat.

I need to put my wants and needs back into my own hands. No one is responsible for my happiness and well-being but me. I have cut back on my work hours massively (gotta love terrific employees!) and now am able to do things for myself when I want to. For a short while there, I was thinking that I had to run out and find other people to interact with or new circumstances to interact with in order to make me feel better / happier / more content with my life.

I realize that isn’t so. In doing that, I am actually running from the only situation that really matters and will make an immediate difference in my experience. My relationship with myself. So right now, I am focusing on me and feeling better right now. Being present in the NOW and not rehashing how it has been in the past or prophesizing potential future outcomes. Right now, in this moment, I can see things as they are, perfect. This moment, this second, is exactly how it should be. It’s all good and I know, without an ounce of doubt, that it will all work out okay in the end.

Karen Williams had a really cool idea that she blogged about in It’s Time to Transform Your Life. I WANT A WATCH LIKE THAT!

I did some googling to see if someone was already marketing a watch like that. I didn’t find anything… yet (but know I will eventually!) but did come across a really cool site called 68 Second Videos.

Within 17 seconds of focusing on something, a matching vibration becomes activated. And now, as that focus becomes stronger and the vibration becomes clearer, the Law of Attraction will bring to you more thoughts that match. At this point, the vibra­tion will not have much attraction power, but if you maintain your focus longer, the power of the vibration will become further-reaching. And if you manage to stay purely focused upon any thought for as little as 68 seconds, the vibration is powerful enough that its manifestation begins.

Ask and It Is Given pg 109

So just spending 68 seconds can make a dramatic difference in how and what things manifest in our lives. I know I haven’t been actively focusing on what it is I want lately and if I do, it’s definitely not for that long.

We encourage you to play with spending 17 seconds on any topic. If you hold any thought, positive or negative, wanted or not wanted, if you hold a thought purely for 17 seconds, that at the 17 second point, another thought just like it joins it. And as these two thoughts coalesce, there is a combustion. And as these two thoughts combust, they are parlayed into one more evolved, faster vibrating thought. And when it happens, you feel it. It feels like heightened interest or enthusiasm. If you hold that, now more evolved, thought for another 17 seconds, then when you cross that 34 second mark, the same thing happens. Another thought like the more evolved thought now joins it, and there’s another combustion point. Only this time, it moves much further than it did the first time, because the two thoughts that combined were bigger to begin with. Purely hold a thought for 17 seconds until it combusts and another thought joins it, and the Energy in that combustion is equivalent to 2,000 action hours. If you work a normal 40 hour a week job, that’s about what you work in a year. 17 seconds of pure thought, allowing the combustion, gives you that much Energy. Your action is not very important by comparison. Cross the 34 second mark, and you can multiply your action by ten. That’s 20,000 action hours. Cross the 51 second mark, and you can multiply by ten again. That’s 200,000 action hours. If you can hold a thought, purely, without contradicting it, until you cross the 68 second mark — that’s just four times 17 — you can multiply by ten again. That’s over 2,000,000 action hour equivalent. We’re talking about accessing the Energy that Creates worlds. And the reason that it is not fathomable to most of you is that most of you don’t make it past the eight second mark without contradicting your desire.

Excerpted from G-10/17/96 — Syracuse, NY

To simplify it:

17 seconds is worth 2,000 manhours (or about 1 year of action…)
34 seconds is worth 20,000 manhours (or about 10 years of action…)
51 seconds is worth 200,000 manhours (or about 100 years of action…)
68 seconds is worth 2,000,000 manhours (or about 1000 years of action…)

WOW! And the reason that it is not fathomable to most of you is that most of you don’t make it past the eight second mark without contradicting your desire. I guess I have been definitely falling into the “8 seconds and less of pure positive thought” group. Definitely something I need to work on and will make a concerted effort to do so.

The videos on 68 Seconds can help! There are several there about money and relationships. There is also a template one that is just counting down the 68 seconds. All of them will let you focus in a more positive way so why not give it a try?!
