Abe on children
Our idea of an ideal parent is one that gives birth and gets out of the way. Because the sooner parental influences are not a strong factor, the sooner you will find your relationship with your own central Guidance. G-11/6&7/99 We come into an environment where we have parents that can provide a sense of stability. They are part of that platform. But we are born with an eagerness that keeps coming forth from within. The “generation gap” is sort of a built-in thing. We are miles, vibrationally, away from our parents. The children that are being born today are vibrationally at a place that most adults in your environment will never reach. You could be where your children are, vibrationally, if you were living in the “now”. But most of you are not living in the “now”. You are standing in your “now” dragging in all of this stuff that you remember from before. And so, your “now” is clouded with all of this from before, which keeps your vibration from being anywhere near where the child’s vibration is on the day it is born. G-11/6&7/99 You never said, “I will go forth and struggle my way to success.” Success is measured only in terms of joy. And so, use joy as your meter. “Does this thought make me feel joyful? No, it does not. How about this one?” The word “success” and the word “struggle” are not vibrationally equivalent. G-12/11&12/99 You are big. You are expansive. You are everlasting. You are eternal. You are never-ending. You are focused in this moment, but you are only as powerful — here is the key for you: You are only as powerful as you are joyful in the moment. G-12/11&12/99 As long as you’re unhappy about not being over there, or feeling unworthy or incomplete or dissatisfied about not being over there, you cannot get over there, because over there is a different vibration than the predominant vibration you’re offering. Until you are joyful in your not being over there, you can’t get over there. G-1/18/00 There is such a tendency to say, “Well, I would do it this way, and therefore you should do it this way. And if you don’t do it the way I do it, then there’s something wrong with one or the other of us.” And that isn’t true at all. You are just approaching things in different ways, all working. Whether it seems like it or not — you are all working toward the same ultimate goal of joy. G-12/11&12/99 Contrast — that which is wanted and lack of it — exists in all things. There is consciousness, or perception, or awareness in every vibrating particle of the Universe. And every particle, no matter how grand or how insignificant by your standards you deem it to be, is having its relational perceptual experience within contrast. So it knows the difference between this and this. G-1/22/00 In the same way that you can feel fed or hungry, or all-is-well or thirsty, or that you prefer that to that — every particle of the Universe is discerning, similar to that. And every time contrast causes any consciousness to conclude anything, that conclusion is then answered by that Stream. The evolution of the species is exactly about this: In the way the Universe is established, as each consciousness is selfishly reaching for that which feels best — the whole benefits from that. G-1/22/00 Even when we are encouraging you to selfishly seek your own joy, we are actually saying to you: Your joy is the greatest gift that you can give to anyone. Because unless you are in your joy, you have nothing to give, anyway. G-12/11&12/99 If you are predominantly a very happy, connected being, who feels good, who compliments easily, who is tuned in, tapped in, turned on more often than not, you would not have people in your life that were other than that. The Universe would not yield to you people that were different from your vibration. G-10/16&17/99 When you develop a relationship with someone, if you have dominant vibrational characteristics that rendezvous with their dominant vibrational characteristics, then it is those vibrations that represent your friendship, or your relationship. And so, while you are not responsible for what they are vibrating — if you were not vibrating similarly, you would not be together. G-10/16&17/99 Think about yourself on the dance floor. One leads, and the other follows. And it makes for a very beautiful effort. But if you are both trying to lead, can you imagine the mess that you would have? In every experience, as you are creating your own experience, you are always a co-creator. In some situations you are the leader, and in some situations you are the follower, and in some you are the one that gives in, and in some you are the one that takes the lead. There are always leaders and followers. And that does not make the leader superior to the follower. It is a co-creative dance. G-1/11/00 You are an Eternal Being always projecting from Nonphysical, and sometimes that projection is into a physical personality. When the physical personality is complete for this time, then there is a withdrawal of focus. It’s sort of like: here you sit, and sometimes you go into a movie, and sometimes you come back out of the movie — but you are always the you that went into the movie, whether you are in the movie or not. G-10/30&31/99 Every death is brought about by the culmination of the vibration of the being. There is not an exception to that. No one, beast or human, makes their transition into Nonphysical without it being the vibrational consensus that is within them. Every death is suicide because every death is self-imposed. G-1/8/00 Our idea of an ideal parent is one that gives birth and gets out of the way. Because the sooner parental influences are not a strong factor, the sooner you will find your relationship with your own central Guidance. G-11/6&7/99 We come into an environment where we have parents that can provide a sense of stability. They are part of that platform.

You are standing in your “now” dragging in all of this stuff that you remember from before. And so, your “now” is clouded with all of this from before, which keeps your vibration from being anywhere near where the child’s vibration is on the day it is born. G-11/6&7/99
You feel a loss of freedom because you’ve lived a life of loss of freedom. Almost every desire that you felt bubble within you was squelched almost in the moment that it began to bubble — because someone else didn’t agree with it or approve of it. We can see why there are those who would worry that Abraham’s message would get out. Because it is truly a liberating message. It is truly a self- empowering message. What it says to you, and what it would say to your children or to any children, is: You have come forth intending to be eager, and you have, within you, guidance that will keep you in vibrational harmony with what you intended. And there are those who feel a need to control you because they are not sure that you would choose wisely. We are certain that you will. G-11/6&7/99
Parents don’t want their children to make the wrong decisions, so they don’t allow them to make the decision. And then the child becomes dependent, and then the parent resents that, and it gets off into a blameful thing early on. If you are encouraging children to do all that they can do — and not squelching the natural eagerness that is within them, so that they can shine and thrive and show you and themselves how good they are at adapting to physical experience — then everyone wins. Dallas, TX — 3/13/99 Children coming forth today have a greater capacity to deal with the greater variety of information that is coming forward than you did. They deliberately are coming forth into this environment where there is more to contemplate. This generation gap that you are talking about, it has ever been thus. Each new generation, every new individual, that comes forth, is coming with you having prepared a different platform for them to proceed from. There is this thing that gets in the way of that that says, “I’m the parent. I got here first. I know more than you do.” From the children’s perspective, and from the purity of their Nonphysical Perspective, what they are saying is, “You’re the parent. You got here first. You prepared a platform that I am leaping off from — and my leap will be beyond anything that you have ever known.” San Rafael, CA — 2/27/99
Relative to our children or any children with whom we would interact, our one dominant intention would be to give them a conscious understanding of how powerful and important and valuable and perfect they are. Every word that would come out of our mouths would be a word that would be offered with the desire to help this individual know that they are powerful. It would be a word of empowerment. We would set the Tone for upliftment and understand that everything will gravitate to that Tone if we would maintain it consistently. G-7/19/97, Chicago, IL
You are really individual beings, with very special talents, and it would be nice if teachers had the time, or parents had the awareness or skill, to see the children as the very individual, very special beings that they are. So that rather than trying to drum them into one category, they are, instead, appreciating the special insight that each child brings to the sea of diversity and contrast which is the stuff that creation comes from. G-9/13/97, Atlanta, GA
As Vital at 102 As at 2 If you were allowing Source Energy to pour through you in the abundant way that it would if you were not resisting it, you would experience utter Well-being. Your physical body would be in optimum condition at all times. You would feel vital and alive and fueled, and eager. You would feel like those 2-year olds, who just can’t get enough of this wonderful stuff called physical life. You would feel the vitality that would carry you through all the days of your experience, compounding more in every day, because everything that you see, and every desire that is therefore born within you, causes a conclusion that summons the Life Force that is the eternal fuel. >From Abraham-Hicks Workshop El Paso, TX — 2/17/01
