Subject: Abe excerpt on focusing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guest. Can you just review some more ways of fanning your desire?
Abe. Well, fanning your desire is not as difficult as any of you think because LOA is so active. So fanning a desire really means focus. The only thing that keeps anything from getting bigger, oh you’re really going to like this, is looking at it and then looking at its opposite. That’s the only thing that keeps it from getting bigger. If you look at it, LOA, says it has to get bigger. But if you look at that and then the opposite of it, it doesn’t get bigger. And so what makes something get bigger is attention to it. Attention to it. Attention to it. That’s why the war against drugs and the war against aides and the war against poverty and the war against violence, that’s why that stuff all gets bigger. You mean well, you’re just going about it in a way that LOA says can’t work, you see.
Focus, attention to something. So perhaps the first question you would want to ask is, is this important enough to me to focus on? Does it matter enough to think about? And the next question, the most important part of it is, is it important enough to me to find a way of focusing on it and feeling good at the same time. Because that’s how you know if you’ve lined up your energy about it. Your vibrational meter tells you. Your emotions tell you so much. If you have a strong negative emotion, it means, it matters. And sometimes it mattered and you didn’t even know it mattered until you felt the strong negative emotion. Or the strong positive emotion. And so your vibrational meter tells you that anytime you feel strong emotion, whether it’s positive or negative, this matters to you. And if it matters then the next question is how can I focus on this with the singular intent of feeling good while I focus on it? You see, bless your hearts, you have been deselfishedized. New word, you won’t find it anywhere in your book we don’t think :) You must be selfish enough that you are reaching for something that feels good. And you have worked on yourselves and each other for so many generations and come to believe that feeling good is selfish and therefore wrong. And so you’ve set yourself apart from your guidance system that has been the only way that you’ve ever been able to understand what your vibrational content is. Think about it. If LOA abounds and it does, and if everything in the universe is driven by it, and if the universe is constantly responding to whatever I’m vibrationally outputting, and if the way I feel tells me what I’m outputting, isn’t it important that I know what I feel and isn’t it important that I reach for the feeling that feels good?
Now let’s talk about this from a feeling standpoint because we’ve been expressing to you and many of you have been receiving this very clearly that what I think is then reflected back to me by what I’m feeling. That’s how I can tell the vibrational content of my thought, I have a feeling response to it. And so it is logical that I could deliberately think and therefore I would deliberately control my feeling response. If I can control my thought then I can control how I feel and that is logical and really hard to deal with. Because now that means I have to run around and sort out all the thoughts which gets me so overwhelmed and confused that I lose my place and take a nap. It is much easier to choose thoughts that feel good or choose meditation which is no thought that feels good. Until I become so familiar with the feeling of feeling good that now I’m feeling my way through the thought process. In other words, reaching for something that feels good, reaching for something that feels more exciting.
As Esther sat on an airplane and started to feel worry, she didn’t try to figure out what thought had produced the worry. Instead she said worry and well being are opposite thoughts. I want to feel well being and just focusing on the thought or the idea or the feeling of well being, she shifted her vibration and felt well being. So the entire universe without Esther saying well, universe I thought that thought and it felt that way but then I thought that thought and it felt that way and I would like you to respond more to that thought than that thought which is so cumbersome. Instead by reaching for a different feeling she achieved all the same results.
Jerry and Esther had lunch with a friend the other dog. And she said she had a dog. And Jerry said do you take your dog for walks? And she said my dog is not a walker, he is a sniffer. Which painted a very clear picture. She doesn’t get up very much momentum until the dog wants to smell that and smell that and smell that. And we would like you to be more like the sniffer than the walker in that you’re sort of sniffing your way through things and gravitating to those things that are a vibrational match to what you are wanting. And then when you find something that really smells good stay there. Perhaps we have not started in the best place with this dog analogy. (laughter) But when you find something that really feels good to you, stay there until you’ve milked it for all that it is worth and until it puts you in a vibrational place where now you can reach for something else.
And remember, this is the most important thing we want you to hear. You never get this done and one of the things that is the hardest thing for you to hear is that you think here I am and here I want to be and I really will not be joyful until I am over here. And we want so much for you to enjoy every thought that feels good along the way. EVERY vision of being where you want to be. It is the journey that it really is all about. If you lived in a dimension where you could just go from this to this to this to this to this. In other words, think it I’m there, think it I’m there, think it I’m there, ooooh you’d miss all of the glorious satisfaction of the journey. It is the molding it into place that it is all about. You did not say I will go forth and I will figure it all out before I take my first action and I will never make a mistake. I will just go forth from one success to another. You said I will go forth and through the process I will give birth to the decision which is the joy of my life. And then I will gravitate to the decision which is the second joy of my life and then I will find the new platform which is the third joy of my life and then I will evaluate the contrast which is the fourth joy of my life which will give birth to new desire which is the first joy of my life. And I’ll do it over and over and over. I’ll do it lifetime after lifetime after lifetime and never will I come forth into a physical experience where I am unhappy with where I am. Because I can’t stay there. I can’t stay where I am. There it went again, there it went again, there it went again. I’m always in the process of becoming and isn’t that good?
