Abraham Boulder Workshop June 5 & 6, 1999 ===========We know that few of you can just quit your jobs today and start dreaming your way into success because there is this buffer of time, and the creditors would be banging on your door very quickly. So we are not saying stop all action, and start dreaming. We are saying dream a little more and act a little less. We are saying that 10 or 15 minutes of focusing and visualizing until you find the feeling place of success is the equivalent of many thousands of action hours. When you hold a thought purely—which means that you just don’t contradict it—for 17 seconds, another thought that is like it joins it, and there is a lot of power in that joining. …Because you rarely go more than 8 seconds without contradicting your thought…, you have not discovered the power of thought. Most of you have not discovered that the Universe is conspiring to assist you. You work hard from this attitude of unworthiness, from this feeling that you are not enough, from this feeling that you have to justify.
You heard us as we were talking to our friend here [a member of the audience]. It was fun to talk to him, wasn’t it, because he was so OBVIOUSLY off the wall. [laughter] Didn’t you enjoy hearing him? Couldn’t you really, really hear why he was stuck? Couldn’t you hear how he wasn’t going to let the wellbeing into him because he was so mad at those bad people [corporate types that downsize companies] for taking advantage of so many people? Didn’t he make it really easy to see how he was kind of stuck and not allowing it to come in? It’s a lot easier to hear when it’s happening to someone else—especially to someone who has exaggerated it to this place. [laughter] And what we want you to begin to understand is that the Universe is responding to the way you feel. Don’t think so much about what you are thinking. Don’t think so much about what you have or possess. Don’t think so much about how you compare with others in your possessions and actions. Instead think about how you feel. …How you’re feeling is everything. How you’re feeling is your point of attraction. How you’re feeling is your asking from the Universe. How you’re feeling is everything that is coming to you. If you’re feeling unworthy, you can work day and night, night and day, everyday and not allow the very things you want to flow because your vibration is not allowing it and the Universe cannot buck your current. How you’re feeling is everything.
So if we were standing in your physical shoes, we would let the contrast naturally produce the desire. It will. And when we felt a desire within us, we would look at it, we would recognize the weirdness of it, we would recognize how unfamiliar it feels to us, and then we would do what is our work. Then we would do what is our work. Then I would do what is my work. Then I would go to my work. I would do the work I have been born to do. I would get on my path and I would do my work. My work is before me now. Now I know how to do my work. Now I know what I am responsible for. Now I know what I will do. My work is…it’s simple. My work is to take that new desire and to play with it in my mind’s eye until it feels familiar, until it feels like the manifestation of it is the next logical step.
