… Often, you are not a vibrational match to your own desire because your desire was born out of contrast. In other words, let’s say that you are sick, and in your discomfort you begin to say things like, “Oh, I wish I were well. I really want to be well again,” but your attitude is, “I am sick.” That’s your mood, “I’m sick.” That’s the way you feel, “I’m sick.” So, from that place of not feeling good, from your place of sickness, you say, “I want wellness. Why does the Universe not answer my request? What’s all this garbage about ‘Ask and it is given’? I’ve been asking and asking and asking and I still am sick.”
The Formula for Creating says: Identify your desire and then be sure that you are a vibrational match to your desire. So that the signal that you are offering is signal. So that when you are offering the signal of wellness, then wellness becomes your experience. Then you say, “Well, Abraham, that’s easy to do for someone who is already feeling well. It’s easy to offer the vibration of wellness when I am well. But how do I offer the vibration of wellness when I am sick? And we say, by remembering when you were well, by imagining that you are well, by pretending that you are well, by de-emphasizing the fact that you are sick and re-emphasizing the feeling of wellness. That is your work. In other words, that’s what Creative endeavor is about. You did not come forth just to regurgitate what-is: You did not say, “I’ll go forth and look around, and as I look I’ll vibrate and as I vibrate I’ll create, and whatever will be, will be. There’s good. There’s bad. And I’ll just look all around. I’ll be very objective. I’ll be very balanced. I’ll see bad things and I’ll create bad things, and I’ll see good things and I’ll create good things.” You did not say that anymore than you said, “I will eat food that tastes bad as much as I eat food that tastes good.” You said, “I will go forth, and through my experience I will conclude what I desire. And once I have come to the conclusion of what I desire, I will achieve vibrational harmony with that - and by Law of Attraction, it will then he my experience.” . . .
