Appreciation

"If all you did was just look for things to appreciate you would live a joyous, spectacular life. If there was nothing else that you ever came to understand other than just look for things to appreciate, it's the only tool you would ever need to predominantly hook you up with who you really are. That's all you'd need."

More wisdom from Abraham. Want to prove something wonderful in your life? Give this the test and just watch what happens. Judiciously make a loving effort to make appreciation your norm as you walk through your day. Remember, appreciation is a cause, not an effect that only cuts in once something wonderful happens. As you awaken in the morning initiate a process that will become a habit as you spend a few moments and allow the mind to reach out to find things to appreciate. Large things, inconsequential things, it doesn't matter, for the Universe reads the energy of appreciation not the item, person or thing toward which it is directed. This is a downstream exercise and remember, nothing you every want to do, be or have is upstream. You will discover more and more that indeed, everything always works out for you; indeed, seas part for you; indeed, the cattle on a thousand hills are yours, and more. If you catch yourself finding things that are wrong or not wanted and stirring around in them, consciously reach for something--anything--wherein the mind can feel appreciation. Become proactive and the stream will carry you the quicker to everything that you have ever wanted to do, be or have. It is law.

A Promise Worth Remembering

"Every single person on the planet and every single Consciousness in the Universe has the same experience of being here and having a desire to be there. In other words, it is the promise of this eternal Universe… You’re always, always, always going to be on your way to something more—always. And when you relax and accept that, and stop beating up on yourself for not being someplace that you’re not, and instead, start embracing where you are while you keep your eye on where you’re going—now life becomes really, really, really fun."

Another quote from an Abraham workshop. Remember..."You never get it wrong because you never get it done." And, because you are eternal...why?...you are an extension of Source Energy (God) and this is about as eternal as it gets...because you are eternal you have been on countless leading edge experiences through which the very expansion of the Universe itself depends. So, relax more and never get down on yourself. Source never does, and if you beat up on yourself you will always feel less than great for you are doing it alone, so to speak...Source never, never-ever joins you in this exercise, so the Energy flow is disrupted and things are less than optimal. You are where you are, and do your very best to let this be okay. Keep your eye on where you want to go, or on what you want to be or have; endeavor to feel what it will be like when this happens, but not at the expense of the okay'ness of today, for probably by no other way could the uniqueness that is you move to where you want to be, do and have. Lighten up...all is well, it truly is.

Fuss less, enjoy more

"Be easy about this. Be playful about it. Don't work so hard at it. Let your dominant intent to be to feel good, and if you don't feel good, then let your dominant intent be to feel relief. Feel your way through it. If you think your way through it, you can get off on all kinds of tangents. If you feel your way through it, you can come quickly to your Core Energy, and when you do that only good can then flow to you."

Another quote from Abraham...this one from over 10 years ago. Have you ever had a decision to make and spent all kinds of time weighing all the pro's and con's...asking for input from almost everyone in your life and then being so confused that you didn't take any action at all? This is thinking our way through something, and while thought is certainly one of the ways we input into what becomes our vibrational signature, it isn't how our Higher, God-self communicates with us. We all have heard the adage to trust our feelings, and just maybe we need to be more mindful of this level of input. So, if you have a decision to make, if it isn't a resounding "yes," just perhaps what is actually the more viable choice for that moment is at least a "no, not now." So, how do we allow our dominant intent to feel good? To reach for thought and feeling that moves us up the emotional scale toward feelings that can be defined as bringing relief. Sometimes the journey leads us into and out of emotions that we need to just keep to ourselves, but if there is light at the end of the tunnel toward feeling better, then it is always okay.

A reminder as 2008 begins

You are so very worthy of anything you want to be, do or have that it need not even be stated; it is an eternal given for you are the very essence of that which man throughout the millennium has called God, just presently extending but a small part of your totality here in physical form. The greater Self that you actually are is pure knowing, absolute peace, and every other similar adjective, pronoun, adverb that can be stated. When you are not in alignment with who you really are this choice gives rise to feelings of discomfort, disquieting, irritation and more, which if not addressed will then eventually manifest in a more dramatic way in our bodies, finances, relationships and similar things. Even at this stage, these manifestations are but indicators of mis-alignment between you and your Higher, God-Self, each stemming from something we are doing, believing or accepting that is usually based on what the world is presenting to us of which we say, "well, it is!" The Apostle Paul keyed into the process as he said "Whatsoever things are true...honest...just...pure...lovely...of good report...if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things." Remember, whatever we stir around in, or beat the drum of, anything that is the opposite of these things, we will be reminded of what we are doing for we will not feel happy and good, and because we are then making them part of our vibrational signature, this is where eventually the challenges in our bodies, finances and relationships all come from. We are the creators of our own reality. Now the good news, We can never get it wrong because we never get it done...we are eternal. However it makes more sense to feel good here and now, agree?
