Momentum, and the Speed of Manifestation
GUEST: Uh-huh. I see. My question is, is there a moment of enlightenment or a moment of, “Oh my gosh, I created this vortex, so let me create what I want,” that you can turn around the situation in the moment?
ABRAHAM: Yes. Now, the first part of your offering, where we said you’re living the balance of your thoughts. Now, thought is desire, that’s thought. Thought as belief, that’s thought. So let’s say that you believe a piano is going to fall on your head but your desire to live long, healthy, happy experience is more dominant. And all of those thoughts are sort of mixed in there together, so what happens is, the lackful belief and the positive desire sort of mixed together and you sort of live a balance of the two. In other words, you don’t live the extraordinary life of connection that is possible but you also don’t live the life of wretchedness…in other words, you live the balance of those thoughts. What we’ve noticed with most of you is that you flow your Energy about 50/50 on most subjects, and that’s why nothing really good or really bad happens to most of you. Then what happens is, it’s an interesting thing, how you’ll have a little thought about something, which will attract a little information, a bigger, bolder condition, and then, what happens next, depends on how you respond to that condition. The sooner that you recognize Step one, “know what I don’t want,” Step two, “identify what I do want,” and Step three, “find the feeling place”, the more you are able to take that creative control in those life experiences. You see what we’re getting at?
GUEST: And is it the quicker the manifestation, is that also true?
ABRAHAM: The manifestation, the speed of it, is about this. Now, yesterday, Jerry heard a little piece of a news broadcast where they were talking about a young person travelling at a very high rate of speed, and when he hit another car it broke that car in two pieces; the momentum was so powerful. And momentum is what we want you to focus upon. In other words, when something is moving very fast, it has more power. Now what happens with most of you is you start and stop and start and stop and start and stop. If you can see this Energy, this pure Stream of Nonphysical Energy and you see it flowing to you and you are open and allowing it all of the time, then it gains a lot of momentum. And with that momentum, powerful things are happening in your experience. But if you allow it and disallow it and allow it and disallow it and allow it and disallow it then you’ve slowed it. In other words, it’s still happening, but it’s not happening with the power.
So the way you are able to monitor all of this is you can literally tell by the way you feel. And at the end of the day, if you say, “this was a great day,” that’s an indicator that you allowed your vortex to be open and a lot of that Energy was flowing.
Now, there are a couple of things we want to talk to you about. You see the electricity surging…you don’t see it, but you know or you assume that it is there, surging through the walls of this room. But until you flip a switch or plug something into an outlet, you do not ask for the electricity. So it’s there, you’re just not utilizing it. Well, the same thing with the Nonphysical current. (The electricity, by the way, is a by-product of this Nonphysical current.) You don’t understand it — you’ve just learned how to flip switches. So in the same way — as you would plug in your toaster or your tape recorder — by identifying an object of attention and feeling good about it, you’ve flipped a switch. So the more you hold those circuits open, then the more Energy flows, and the more Energy flows, the more momentum there is, and the more momentum there is, the more power there is and the more speed there is. But if you’re opening and closing, opening and closing, then you’ve got this sort of sporadic sort of stuff, so it goes good for a while but then it slows down. And so, you can tell by the way you feel whether you’re allowing or disallowing that current. Good
