Daily Quotes from ABRAHAM

Getting Through my Days

A couple of years ago, I was given a book called the “Law of Attraction” from the Abraham-Hicks Publications.  I thought ‘How nice’, for I had been familiar with the concept for more than half my adult life.   This was in line with my thinking, but with such different emphasis, I soon realized that I hadn’t a clue about any of this.  Turns out this was better.  Far less struggle, a great deal more ‘joy’  involved  Soon I acquired a video or two which I totally enjoyed and a book here and there  The foundation puts out these wonderful “Daily Quotes”  from Abraham.  It had never crossed my mind to offer any of this on my blog.   It was just something which was always there on my computer each day as I arose and started my day.  I was enriched and often found  something to really ponder.  You know, intimate, personal stuff.    It works for me.

In case there others out there  with some of the sensibilities that are part of me, I thought  – - why not?  Why shouldn’t I share this?   I have only included a few here and there over the last few months, not the couple of years I have been receiving them  This Daily Quote is a free service from Esther and Jerry Hicks, anyone can sign up and receive it.

Being happy is the cornerstone of all that you are! Nothing is more important than that you feel good! And you have absolute and utter control about that because you can choose the thought that makes you worry or the thought that makes you happy; the things that thrill you, or the things that worry you. You have the choice in every moment.

Find thoughts that feel good, because it is inevitable that you are going to always be moving toward something. So why not be moving toward something that is pleasing? You can’t cease to vibrate, and Law of Attraction will not stop responding to the vibration that you are offering. So, expansion is inevitable. You provide it, whether you know you do, or not. The only question is, what is the standard of joy that you are demanding for yourself? From your Nonphysical perspective, it’s a high, high standard.

If you know that all is well, you know all you need to know. And if you know life is supposed to be fun, you know more than almost anybody else knows. And if you know that the way you feel is your indicator of how connected you are to Source, then you know that which only a handful of Deliberate Creators, respective to the total population, really know. The beasts all know it. Your animals know that all is well. Your animals live in the moment. They understand the power of their now. They expect the Universe to yield to them. They don’t worry or fret or conjure or make laws or rules or try to regulate. They are Pure Positive Energy. Your beasts vibrate more on the Energy scale of contentment than of passion. Their desire was set forth from Nonphysical, and continues to be set forth by those, like you, who want Energy balance, who want sustenance. The difference between the beast and the human is that the beast is more general in its intent. The human is usually less blended, usually less allowing of the Energy to flow, but is more specific. And that is why the human is seen to be the Creator while the beast is more the balancer of Energy.

That All-That-Isness that is responding to your vibration is that which you call God.

Any time you have physical discomfort of any kind, whether you call it emotional, or physical pain within your body, it always, always means the same thing: “I have a desire that is summoning Energy, but I have a belief that is not allowing so I’ve created resistance in my body.” The solution, every single time, to the releasing of discomfort or pain — is the relaxation and the reaching for the feeling of relief.

Excerpted from the workshop in Kansas City, MO on Sunday, August 29th, 1999              April 23, 2009

.

Death is an inevitable cycle. But sickness before death is a symptom of resistance. Most people think they’ve got to get sick to die. But, you could be like the cat who chooses to get run over. Or, you could just lie down in your bed, happily, one night, so content and thoughtless, wanting nothing in this physical world, and just reemerge into Pure Positive Energy… You can play it out any way you choose.

When you find vibrational alignment with You, you personally thrive. You feel good; you look good; you have stamina; you have energy; you have balance; you have clarity; you have wit; you have abundance of all things that you consider to be good. You thrive in all ways when you come into Energy Balance with You. Vibrational Relativity – that’s what it’s all about.

You will never reach the place where you will not need to be diligent about your choice of thought. Because you live in a world that is determined to show you every pocket of despair. So you must diligently choose. But it gets easier and easier and easier to do so. Right now, it may feel to you like those moments of Connection are the rare ones. There will be a time when those moments of Connection will feel so normal that it will shock you when you get into a place of disconnection.

Excerpted from the workshop in San Antonio, TX on Saturday, November 24th, 2001              May 6, 2009

.

You are the creator of your own reality, and so you are not in jeopardy. You do not need to control the behavior of others in order for you to thrive. Your attention to things that you think they do that keeps you from your thriving is, in fact, what keeps you from your thriving… It is not what they do to you; it’s what you do to you in fear of what you think that they will do to you.

Excerpted from the workshop in Philadelphia, PA on Thursday, May 12th, 2005                          May 8, 2009

Rather than trying to monitor your thoughts, we encourage that you simply pay attention to how you are feeling. For if you should choose a thought that is not in harmony with the way that broader, older, wiser, loving Inner Being part of you sees it, you will feel the discord, and then you can easily redirect your thought to something that feels better, and therefore serves you better. — Abraham              Excerpted from “The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of  Abraham                                                                                                                                                                                                   May 18, 2009

If there is no source of illness, why are there so many sick people? It is because they have found lots of excuses to hold themselves in vibrational discord with wellness. They are not letting it in. And when they don’t let it in, the absence of it looks like sickness. And when enough of them do it you say, “Oh, there must be a source of sickness. In fact, let’s give it a label. Let’s call it cancer. Let’s call it AIDS. Let’s call it all kinds of terrible things, and let’s imply that it jumps into people’s experience.” And we say it never jumps into anybody’s experience. It’s just that people learn through trial and error, and — through banging around with each other — patterns of thought that don’t let it in. — Abraham

Physical pain is just an extension of emotion. It’s all the same thing. There are two emotions. One feels good and one feels bad. Which means, you’re connected to your Energy Stream or you’re not allowing your Energy Stream. — Abraham

Death is a withdrawal of consciousness. It’s like taking attention from here and putting it there.                                                                                                                                                                   May 27, 2009

Appreciation and self-love are the most important tools that you could ever nurture. Appreciation of others, and the appreciation of yourself is the closest vibrational match to your Source Energy of anything that we’ve ever witnessed anywhere in the Universe. — Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Spokane, WA on Tuesday, May 30th, 2000 5/29/09

.

There is no state of physical decline or damage that you could not recover from–none–not any, if you knew it… If you wanted it and knew that you could. And that’s those miracles that they talk about every day. They’re not miracles at all, they are the natural order of things. But because they are rare, people think they are miraculous. They’re not. That’s the way it is supposed to be. You’re supposed to thrive. — Abraham

Inspiration comes forth from within. It’s what the light burning within you is about, as opposed to motivation, which is doing it because if you don’t do it, there will be negative repercussions. Motivation is making myself do something that I don’t really want to do. Inspiration is having the clear picture of what I am wanting — and letting Universal forces come into play to get the outcome. — Abraham                                                                                                                              June 3, 2009

Tell everyone you know: “My happiness depends on me, so you’re off the hook.” And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they’re doing. Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for the way you feel — and then, you’ll love them all. Because the only reason you don’t love them, is because you’re using them as your excuse to not feel good. — Abraham                                                                                      6/8/09

Reduce your workload by 30% and increase your fun load by 30% and you will increase your revenues by 100%. And you will increase your productivity by 10,000%. (If there could be such a percentage.) More fun, less struggle — more results on all fronts. — Abraham             Excerpted from the workshop in Salt Lake City, UT on Saturday, September 9th, 2000                                                                                                                                                                                                                              June 20, 2009

When people thought the world was flat, it wasn’t that their thinking was distorted, (The data that they were collecting gave them that information.) it was that they were not broadsighted enough to step back far enough to see the big picture. And that’s what we see with so many of you: You are so close to the reality that you are creating, that you sometimes can’t see the bigger picture. — Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, July 24th, 2004                                                                                                                                                                                                               June 30, 2009

The things that we would be asking ourselves is, “What proportion of my day am I in vibrational harmony with my desires, which means, how much of my day am I happy, glad, eager, fulfilled, satisfied, complimentary? And what percentage of my day am I ornery, irritated, frustrated, or blaming?” And you don’t have to do 100%, you don’t have to do 90%, you don’t have to do 80%. If you could even get around 55% feeling better, than not feeling so good — you’d have significant movement in what begins to happen in your experience. — Abraham xcerpted from the workshop in San Diego, CA on Saturday, August 11th, 2001                                                                                                                                                                                                   July 1, 2009

We want to speak about freedom: This is a Vibrational Universe. The only Source that flows is the Source of Well-Being. And, physical and Nonphysical, we are all free to allow that Well-Being to flow to us and through us, or we can pinch it off. It is our call —every time… — Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, February 28th, 2004                                                                                                                                                                                                             July 2, 2009

We are really advocates of just getting as happy as you can be — which takes care of everything. Even if you don’t have reason to be happy — make it up. Fantasize it. Make a decision that you’re going to be happy one way or another — no matter what. “No matter what, I’m going to be happy! If I have to ignore everybody; if I have to never watch television again; if I have to never pick up a newspaper again, I’m going to be happy. If I never have to see that person’s face again, I’m going to be happy. If I have to see that person’s face, I’m going to find something to see in that person’s face that makes me happy. I’m going to be happy. I’m going to be happy. I’m going to be happy.”   — Abraham
