Q: It’s about, like, predestination or contracts that people supposedly make before coming into the Earth plane. My question is: do we have contracts that we make and that…?
Abe: Well, those are words that physical beings have formatted. In other words, that’s someone like Esther trying to find a word to express something that they’re feeling in terms of vibration. Here is a way that we would more succinctly explain that: everything is about vibration, and every one of you had a vibration that was dominantly you as you made your entrance into this physical experience. And everything that you wanted and anticipated, you could call that ‘contract.’ In other words, it would be like our friend [referring to a previous question] who is thinking about growing his business, you could say, “Well, he has this contract to grow his business,” and we would say he has intentions to grow his business - he has desires and expectations that are preceding.
The reason that we are talking so much about virtual reality here today is because we want you to understand that before you can live anything in what you are calling physical manifestation, you have to have conjured it in vibrational form first. In other words, you have to have imagined it before it can become a reality. And so everything that you are living in this physical body, you are imagining it before you are living it. From your nonphysical perspective you intended to be in this body, you intended to explore the contrast, you intended to rendezvous with many of the people that you are rendezvousing with. And you intended to fill in the majority of the details from this vantage point once you got here.
Have you ever been on vacation with somebody who tried to make the vacation plans from the guidebooks before they left?
Q: Yes.
Abe: And so they’ve got all these maps and all these books and they’re going to plan everything out, and on this day they’re going to do this and on this day they’re going to this and on this day they’re going to do this. And nothing flows naturally. They do not allow the Universe to yield to them, they don’t get into any rhythm with the Universe, they don’t allow themselves to be spontaneous, they don’t allow it to be all that it could be. Instead, they just, in a regimented [fashion], move their way through the experience. And that’s sort of what you’d like, in this question you’re asking, to say Nonphysical did as it made the decision to come here - “It sort of preprogrammed me for this life experience.” And we say it was nothing like that. It was more like, “Yippee! Let me at it, I’ll figure it out as I go.”
Q: That’s the part that I love because I’m saying, “Wait a minute, I’m a deliberate creator. You can’t tell me that I came in with a certain contract that I have to fulfill. It’s all in how I vibrate whether or not I even….”
Abe: Let us tell you the basic precepts of the contract that did exist.
Q: Okay.
Abe: You knew your value and intended to offer it. You anticipated a glorious time, expected it fully. You knew you would be of advantage to all who interacted with you and loved the idea of that. You knew that there would be many others who wanted differently from you, and you relished that idea. You knew that constant new expansion would come to the forefront as you moved about, and you expected and wanted to be open to all of that. And most of all - we mentioned it already, but it is the most important part of all of this - you knew that you would have guidance coming forth in the form of emotions that would help you to know, every step along the way, where you were. And you knew that it would be even more than you could at that time have imagined it to be.
Q: And I knew all of that before I came.
Abe: You knew all of it then, your Inner Being still knows it now and is speaking it to you on a steady, continual basis.
