Life among others

"Other's Opinions Are Less Important Than My Personal Guidance System... You did not intend to use the opinions of your parents to measure against your beliefs, desires, or actions in order to determine the appropriateness of them. Instead, you knew (and still remembered, long after you were born) that it was the relationship between the opinion (or knowledge) of the Source within you and your current thoughts, in any moment, that would offer you perfect guidance in the form of emotions. You did not intend to replace your Emotional Guidance System with the opinions of your parents even if they were in harmony with their Emotional Guidance System in the moment of their trying to guide you. It was much more important to you to recognize the existence of your own Guidance System, and to utilize it, than to be deemed correct by, or to find approval from, others."...Abraham from the new book The Vortex.

Imagine how freeing it would be to truly internalize this idea...we would give up allowing others to be the object of our need to discover self-worth in ourselves. We would give up seeking to always please another by doing or seeking to do things that would be approved. Certainly, we would be thankful for each and every circumstance and environment that launched us into a new chapter of something we wanted to do, be or have, but then to recognize that "launch" implied flying solo, not in a forced formation. Certainly it is to relish moments when in tandem with another we can enjoy all aspects of their unique self, holding them not accountable for our well being or happiness, and not assuming the role of being accountable for theirs. These are great experiences, but the reason we came into physical expression is to chart our own course and learn to rely on our own emotional guidance system, not anyone else's.

Creation Happens

"The most magnificent Creators don't want to get together with people who think just like they do. They're looking for people who have other thoughts, because out of the contradiction, comes ideas that could not be born out of sameness. Your relationships will be ultimately more if you're not identical twins just "yessing, yessing, yessing" to everything that the other one is about." Abraham

Would you agree that often it is a challenging personality or circumstance that allows you to give birth to a new desire of clarity, wellness, abundance and peace? Then, if we continue to keep that challenging whatever as the object of our focus what we are now doing is giving that whatever that allowed us to give birth to something new and wonderful to do, be and have, to be the very thing that is now preventing us from getting up to speed with the fulfillment we desire. Having an experience with something undesirable is always the catalyst for the birth of a new idea, but then allowing it to maintain a high profile in our lives defeats that very purpose. Resonate with anything in your world? Perhaps this is what Jesus meant when He said to let the dead bury the dead.

But it's broken...

"Nothing needs to be fixed. Everything is unfolding perfectly. So when you stand in your now accepting that all is well, then from that vibration, you become surrounded by more and more evidence that all is well. But when you're convinced that things are broken, that there is pollution, or that things have gone wrong, or that the government is doing conspiracies... then what happens is you get caught up in that vibration, and you begin to manifest that kind of stuff, and then you say, 'See, I told you that things were going wrong.'" Abraham

Sort of where the rubber meets the road within us, isn't it? It isn't ever about "them" however or whatever we construe them to be, it is always and only about us and what we are allowing to be part of the vibrational signature we are offering to the Law of Attraction. The Scripture that speaks to the thousands falling at our right and left but not coming near us says the same thing without being as specific as Abraham is, and it has nothing to do with favorites within the Universe...only about what we allow in...only about where we stir around in...only about where we focus our attention...only about the habitual stories we tell about what we want to do, be and have. If government conspiracies...if global warming...if congressional stupidity...then such will somehow come into our experience, but it can't handshake with our life unless we are expressing vibrationally a willingness to tango with it, as in "it takes two".

Proactivity

"When you begin to understand Law of Attraction, and you understand that which is like unto itself is drawn, then it is easier and easier to understand that you are offering a signal, and the entire Universe responds. And when you finally get that, and you begin to exercise some deliberate control about the signal that you offer, then it really begins to be fun, because then you recognize that nothing happens outside of your creative control. There are no things that happen by chance or by circumstance. There is nothing that is happening because of something you vibrated a long time ago or in a past life. It is not about what you were born into. It is only about what you are, right now, in this red hot fresh moment emitting." Abraham

"But I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth...it was a wooden spoon that was full of splinters." Abraham would tell us that like the alchemists of old we can transform the experiential equivalent to the wooden spoon into a silver one if we cease looking for reinforcement for why our present day life is so unfair because we were dealt a bad hand when we were plopped into a physical body. Translated, begin to tell a new story of what you want to do, be or have and stick with it. Wrap everything you can possibly muster up in that new story and persistently tell it to anyone who will listen--but refrain from telling it to those who might scoff at what, to them, might be the disparity between what they see and what you are speaking. If everything that is taking place in the universe can be thought of as conforming to what can be called the Law of Attraction, isn't it time to be a conscious and deliberate participant by, if necessary, rewriting the script of our lives with new and wonderful things we want to do, be and have, rather than constantly reaffirming warmed over hash? Make sense? Pro-active time is upon us!
