About t he Aut hors

 Foreword
by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

The book you’ re holding in your hands at t his moment cont ains some of t he most powerf ul t eachings
available t o you on our planet t oday. I’ ve been prof oundly t ouched and inf luenced by t he messages t hat
Abraham , of f ers here in t his book, and t hrough t he t apes t hat Est her and Jerry have been providing over
t he past 18 years. In f act , I’ m deeply honored t hat Abraham has asked me t o provide a brief Foreword t o
t his book, which I consider t o be a publishing milest one. It is unique in all of publishing—you’ ll be
f ort unat e t o t ap in t o t he t hinking of t hose who are permanent ly connect ed t o Source Energy. Moreover,
t hese voices of Spirit speak in a language you’ ll underst and and be able t o inst ant ly t ranslat e int o act ion.
They of f er you no less t han a blueprint f or underst anding and implement ing your own dest iny.
My f irst t hought is t hat if you’ re not yet ready t o read and apply t his great wisdom, t hen I urge you t o
simply carry t his book wit h you f or a f ew weeks. Allow t he energy t hat it cont ains t o permeat e t hrough
any resist ance t hat your body/ mind might of f er, and let it resonat e wit h t hat inner place t hat is f ormless
and boundaryless— t his is what is of t en called your soul, but Abraham would call it your vibrat ional
connect ion t o your Source.
This is a universe of vibrat ion. As Einst ein once observed, “ Not hing happens unt il somet hing moves” —t hat
is, everyt hing vibrat es t o a part icular measurable f requency. Break t he solid world down t o smaller and
t inier component s and you see t hat what appears t o be solid is a dance—a dance of part icles and empt y
spaces. Go t o t he t iniest of t hese quant um part icles, and you discover t hat it emanat ed f rom a source
t hat vibrat es so f ast t hat it def ies t he world of beginnings and endings. This highest / f ast est energy is
called Source Energy. You and everyone and everyt hing originat ed in t his vibrat ion and t hen moved int o
t he world of t hings, bodies, minds, and egos. It was in t he leaving of t his Source Energy in our body/ minds
t hat we t ook on our ent ire world of problems, illnesses, scarcit ies, and f ears.
The t eachings of Abraham, essent ially, are f ocused on helping you t o ret urn, in all respect s, t o t hat
Source f rom which all t hings originat e and all ret urn t o as well. This Source Energy has a look and a f eel
t o it t hat I’ ve t ouched upon in my book The Power of Int ent ion. Abraham, however, can of f er t his
enlight ening wisdom t o you by having t he benef it of being 100 percent connect ed t o t hat Source and
never ever doubt ing t hat connect ion—it ’ s evident in every paragraph of t his book. That ’ s why I call t his a
publishing milest one.
You’ re in direct , conscious cont act wit h a cadre of honest , no-nonsense beings who have only your well-
being in mind. They’ ll remind you t hat you came f rom a Source of well-being and t hat you can eit her
summon t hat higher vibrat ional energy t o yourself and allow it t o f low unimpeded in every aspect of your
lif e, or you can resist it , and by doing so st ay disconnect ed f rom t hat which is all-providing and all-loving.
The message here is quit e st art ling and yet oh-so-simple—you came f rom a Source of love and well-being.
When you’ re mat ched up t o t hat energy of peace and love, you t hen regain t he power of your Source—
t hat being t he power t o manif est your desires, t o summon well-being, t o at t ract abundance where
scarcit y previously resided, and t o access Divine guidance in t he f orm of t he right people and t he
precisely correct circumst ances. This is what your Source does, and since you emanat ed f rom t hat Source,
you can and will do t he same.
I’ ve spent a f ull day wit h Abraham in person, I’ ve dined wit h Est her and Jerry, and I’ ve list ened t o
hundreds of Abraham’ s recordings, so you can t ake it f rom me f irst hand—you’ re about t o embark on a
lif e-changing j ourney of f ered t o you by t wo of t he most aut hent ic and spirit ually pure people I’ ve ever
encount ered. Jerry and Est her Hicks are as much in awe of t heir role in bringing t hese t eachings t o you as
I am in writ ing t his Foreword f or Abraham.
I encourage you t o read t hese words caref ully and apply t hem inst ant ly. They summarize an observat ion
I’ ve of f ered f or many years now: “ When you change t he way you look at t hings, t he t hings you look at
change. ” You’ re about t o see and experience a whole new world changing right bef ore your eyes. This is
t he world creat ed by a Source Energy t hat want s you t o reconnect t o it and live a lif e of j oyf ul well-being.
Thank you, Abraham, f or allowing me t o say a f ew words in t his precious, precious book.

I love you—ALL OF YOU.

— Wayne
 Preface
by Jerry Hicks

Sunlight is beginning t o spill across t he Malibu coast line as I begin t his Pr ef ace. And t he deep indigo t int of
t he Pacif ic Ocean at t his t ime of t he morning seems t o mat ch t he dept h of pleasure I’ m f eeling as I’ m
imagining t he value you’ re about t o receive f rom t he revelat ions wit hin t his book. Ask and It Is Given is
cert ainly a book about our “ asking” being answered by All-That -Is. But it ’ s primarily about how what ever
we’ re asking f or is being given t o us—and it ’ s also t he f irst book t o ever, in such clear t erminology, give us
t he simple pract ical f ormula f or how t o ask f or, and t hen how t o receive, what ever we want t o be, do, or
have.
Decades ago, while searching f or plausible answers t o my never-ending quest t o know what “ It ” is all
about , I discovered t he word inef f able (meaning “ incapable of being expressed in words” ). Inef f able
coincided wit h a conclusion I’ d f ormed relat ive t o It . I had decided t hat t he closer we get t o knowing t he
“ Non-Physical, ” t he f ewer words we have f or clearly expressing It . And so, any st at e of complet e knowing
would also, t heref ore, be a st at e of inef f abilit y. In ot her words, at t his point in our t ime-space realit y t he
Non-Physical cannot be clearly expressed wit h physical words.
Throughout physical hist ory, we’ ve evolved t o, t hrough, and int o billions of philosophies, religions,
opinions, and belief s. Yet , wit h t he billions upon billions of t hinkers t hinking, concluding, and passing
t heir belief s on t o t he next generat ions, we have not —at least not in any words we can agree on—f ound
physical words t o express t he Non-Physical.
Recorded hist ory has ret ained some f orm of document at ion of but a f ew of t he many Beings who have
consciously communicat ed wit h Non-Physical Int elligence. Some were revered, while some were damned
by ot hers. Most , however, who have been conscious of personal communicat ion wit h t he Non-Physical
(perhaps in f ear of being damned or even inst it ut ionalized) have decided t o go and t ell no one about t heir
revelat ions.
Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Joan of Arc, Joseph Smit h. . . t o name but a f ew of t hose bet t er known t o t he
English-speaking world. . . were each out spoken recipient s of Non-Physical Int elligence, most of whom met
wit h quit e unt imely and horrible physical ends. And so, alt hough each of us is direct ly receiving some
f orm of Non-Physical guidance, only a f ew receive blocks of Non-Physical t hought t hat are clear enough t o
be t ranslat ed int o our physical words—and of t hose f ew, f ewer st ill are willing t o disclose t heir experience
t o ot hers.
I remind you of t his inf ormat ion as a pref ace t o what you’ re about t o read, f or my wif e, Est her, is one of
t hose rare persons who can, at will, relax her conscious mind enough t o allow t he recept ion of Non-
Physical answers t o what ever is asked. Somehow Est her receives blocks of t hought (not words) and, j ust
as a Spanish-English t ranslat or would hear a t hought proj ect ed in Spanish words and t hen t ranslat e t he
t hought (not t he act ual words) int o English words, Est her inst ant ly t ranslat es t he Non-Physical t hought
int o it s closest physical (English) word equivalent .
Please not e t hat since t here aren’ t always physical English words t o perf ect ly express t he Non-Physical
t hought t hat Est her receives, she somet imes f orms new combinat ions of words, as well as using st andard
words in new ways (f or example, capit alizing t hem when normally t hey would not be) in order t o express
new ways of looking at lif e. And f or t hat reason, we’ ve creat ed a brief Glossary at t he back of t his book in
order t o clarif y our uncommon usage of some common words. In ot her words, t here is t he common t erm,
well-being, meaning t he st at e of being happy, heal t hy, or prosperous. But t he basis of Abraham’ s
uncommon philosophy is t ranslat ed int o English as Well-Being. It ’ s about t he broader Universal, Non-
Physical Well-Being t hat f lows nat urally t o all of us unless we do somet hing t o pinch it of f . (Also, wit hin
t he t ext , we will init ially put in quot at ion marks any coined words t hat you wouldn’ t f ind in any dict ionary
but whose meanings are obvious—such as “ overwhelment ” or “ endedness. ” )
Since 1986, Est her and I have t ravel ed t o about 50 cit ies a year present ing workshops, and any of t he
at t endees can discuss or pose quest ions on what ever subj ect t hey want t o t alk about ; no subj ect s are of f -
limit s. People have come by t he t housands: f rom dif f erent et hnic groups, f rom dif f erent walks of lif e,
f rom dif f erent philosophical backgrounds. . . all want ing t o improve lif e in some way, eit her direct ly f or
t hemselves, or indirect ly by assist ing ot hers. And t o t hose t housands who have asked f or more, t he
answers have been given—t hrough Est her Hicks, f rom Non-Physical Int elligence.
And so, in response t o t he asking by t hose, like you, who want t o know more, t his philosophy of Well-
Being has evolved int o t he creat ion of t his book.
At t he heart of t hese t eachings is t he most powerf ul Law of t he Universe, t he Law of At t ract ion. Over t he
past decade, we’ ve published much of Abraham’ s t eachings in our quart erly j ournal, The Science of
Deliberat e Creat ion, which has highlight ed t he newest perspect ives gleaned f rom quest ions posed by t he
at t endees of our Art of Allowing Workshops. As such, t his philosophy is cont inually evolving as more of you
bring t o our at t ent ion your newest quest ions and perspect ives.
This book of f ers you a hands-on course in spirit ual pract icalit y. It ’ s a how-t o book in t he broadest sense of
t he t erm—t hat is, how t o be, do, or have anyt hing t hat pleases you. This book also t eaches you how not t o
be, do, or have anyt hing t hat displeases you.

 An Introduction to Abraham
by Est her Hicks

She speaks wit h spirit s! ” our f riends said. “ She’ ll be here next week, and you can make an appoint ment
wit h her and ask her anyt hing you like! ” That ’ s about t he last t hing on t his eart h t hat I would ever want
t o do, I t hought , but at t he same t ime I heard Jerry, my husband, saying, “ We really would like t o make
an appoint ment . How do we go about doing t hat ?”
That was 1984, and in t he f our years t hat we’ d been married, we’ d never had an argument or even
exchanged cross words. We were t wo j oyous people, living happily ever af t er wit h each ot her, and
compat ible on nearly every subj ect t hat came up. The only discomf ort t hat I ever f elt was when Jerry
would ent ert ain f riends wit h one of his st ories f rom 20 years earlier, relat ing his experiences wit h t he
Ouij a board. If we were at a rest aurant or some ot her public place when I sensed one of t hose st ories
coming on, I would polit ely (or somet imes not so polit ely), excuse myself and ret reat t o t he ladies’ room,
sit in t he bar, or t ake a walk t o t he car unt il I believed t hat suf f icient t ime had passed and t he account
would be over. Happily, Jerry event ually st opped t elling t hose st ories when I was around.
I wasn’ t what you’ d call a religious girl, but I’ d at t ended enough Sunday-School classes t o develop a very
st rong f ear of evil and t he devil. Thinking back, I’ m not really sure if our Sunday-School t eachers had
act ually devot ed a great er proport ion of our classes t o t eaching us t o f ear t he devil or if t hat ’ s simply
what st ood out in my mind. But t hat is, f or t he most part , what I remember f rom t hose years.
So, as I’ d been t aught , I caref ully avoided anyt hing t hat could possibly have any connect ion t o t he devil.
One t ime when I was a young woman, I was sit t ing in a drive-in t heat er and happened t o look out t he back
window of t he car at t he ot her movie screen and saw a horrible scene f rom The Exorcist (a movie t hat I’ d
purposely avoided seeing), and what I saw, wit hout hearing t he sound, af f ect ed me so st rongly t hat I had
night mares f or weeks.
“ Her name is Sheila, ” our f riend t old Jerry. “ I’ ll make t he appoint ment f or you and let you know. ”
Jerry spent t he next f ew days writ ing down his quest ions. He said he had some t hat he’ d saved up since
he was a small child. I didn’ t make a list . Inst ead, I st ruggled wit h t he idea of going at all.
As we pulled int o t he driveway of a beaut if ul house in t he heart of Phoenix, Arizona, I remember t hinking,
What am I get t ing myself int o? We walked up t o t he f ront door, and a very nice woman greet ed us and
showed us int o a lovely living room where we could wait f or our scheduled appoint ment .
The house was large, simply but beaut if ully f urnished, and very quiet . I remember f eeling a sort of
reverence, like being in a church.
Then a big door opened, and t wo pret t y women dressed in f resh, bright ly colored cot t on blouses and
skirt s ent ered t he room. Apparent ly we were t he f irst appoint ment af t er lunch; bot h women looked happy
and ref reshed. I f elt myself relax a lit t le bit . Maybe t his wasn’ t going t o be so weird af t er all.
Soon we were invit ed int o a lovely bedroom where t hree chairs were sit uat ed near t he f oot of t he bed.
Sheila was sit t ing on t he edge of t he bed, and her assist ant sat in one of t he chairs wit h a small t ape
recorder on t he t able beside her. Jerry and I sat in t he ot her t wo chairs, and I braced myself f or what ever
was about t o happen.
The assist ant explained t hat Sheila was going t o relax and release her consciousness, and t hen Theo, a
Non-Physical ent it y, would address us. When t hat happened, we’ d be f ree t o t alk about anyt hing we
desired.
Sheila lay across t he end of t he bed, only a f ew f eet f rom where we were seat ed, and breat hed deeply.
Soon, an unusual-sounding voice abrupt ly said, “ It is t he beginning, is it not ? You have quest ions?”
I looked at Jerry, hoping t hat he was ready t o st art , because I knew t hat I was not ready t o t alk wit h
whoever was now speaking t o us. Jerry leaned f orward; he was eager t o ask his f irst quest ion.
I relaxed as Theo’ s words slowly came out of Sheila’ s mout h. And while I knew t hat it was Sheila’ s voice
we were hearing, I somehow also knew t hat somet hing f ar dif f erent f rom Sheila was t he source of t hese
marvelous answers.
Jerry said he’ d been saving his quest ions up since he was f ive years old, and he asked t hem as rapidly as
he could. Our 30 minut es passed so quickly, but during t hat t ime, somehow, wit hout my speaking a word,
my f ear of t his st range experience lif t ed, and I was f illed wit h a f eeling of well-being t hat surpassed
anyt hing t hat I’ d ever f elt bef ore.
Once back inside our car, I t old Jerry, “ I’ d really like t o come back t omorrow. There are some t hings I
would now like t o ask. ” Jerry was delight ed t o make anot her appoint ment because he had more quest ions
on his list as well.
About half way t hrough our allot t ed t ime on t he f ollowing day, Jerry reluct ant ly relinquished t he
remaining minut es t o me, and I asked Theo, “ How can we more ef f ect ively achieve our goals?”
The answer came back: “ Medit at ion and af f irmat ions. ”
The idea of medit at ion didn’ t appeal t o me at all, and I wasn’ t aware of anyone who pract iced it . In f act ,
when I t hought of t he word, it brought t o mind people lying on beds of nails, walking on hot coals,
st anding on one f oot f or years, or begging f or donat ions at t he airport . So I asked, “ What do you mean by
medit at ion?”
The answer was short , and t he words f elt good as I heard t hem: “ Sit in a quiet room. Wear comf ort able
clot hing, and f ocus on your breat hing. As your mind wanders, and it will, release t he t hought and f ocus
upon your breat hing. It would be good f or you t o do it t oget her. It will be more powerf ul. ”
“ Could you give us an af f irmat ion t hat would be of value f or us t o use?” we asked.
“ I [ say your name] see and draw t o me, t hrough divine love, t hose Beings who seek enlight enment
t hrough my process. The sharing will elevat e us bot h now. ”
As t he words f lowed f rom Sheila/ Theo, I f elt t hem penet rat e t o t he core of my being. A f eeling of love
f lowed t o me and t hrough me like not hing I’ d ever f elt bef ore. My f ear was gone. Jerry and I bot h f elt
wonderf ul.
“ Should we bring my daught er, Tracy, t o meet you?” I asked.
“ If it is her asking, but it is not necessary, f or you, t oo (Jerry and Est her), are channels. ”
That st at ement made no sense t o me at all. I couldn’ t believe t hat I could be t his old (in my 30s), and not
already know somet hing like t hat , if it were t rue.
The t ape recorder clicked of f , and we bot h f elt mild disappoint ment t hat our ext raordinary experience
was f inished. Sheila’ s assist ant asked us if we had one last quest ion. “ Would you like t o know t he name of
your spirit ual guide?” she asked.
I would have never asked t hat , f or I had never heard t he t erm spirit ual guide, but it sounded like a good
quest ion. I liked t he idea of guardian angels. So I said, “ Yes, please, could you t ell me t he name of my
spirit ual guide?”
Theo said, “ We are t old it will be given t o you direct ly. You will have a clairaudient experience, and you
will know. ”
What is a clairaudient experience? I wondered, but bef ore I could ask my quest ion, Theo said wit h a t one
of f inalit y, “ God’ s love unt o you! ” and Sheila opened her eyes and sat up. Our ext raordinary conversat ion
wit h Theo had ended.
Af t er Jerry and I lef t t he house, we drove t o a lookout point on t he side of one of t he Phoenix mount ains
and leaned against t he
car, st aring of f int o t he dist ance wat ching t he sunset . We had no idea of t he t ransf ormat ion t hat had
t aken place wit hin us t hat day. We only knew t hat we f elt wonderf ul.
When we ret urned home, I had t wo powerf ul new int ent ions: I was going t o medit at e, what ever in t he
world t hat meant , and I was going t o f ind out t he name of my spirit ual guide.
So, we changed int o our robes, closed t he curt ains in t he living room, and sat in t wo large wingback
chairs, wit h an et agere bet ween us. We’ d been encouraged t o do t his t oget her, but it f elt odd, and t he
et agere helped t o mask t he st rangeness f or some reason.
I remembered Theo’ s inst ruct ions: Sit in a quiet room, wear comf ort able clot hing, and f ocus on your
breat hing. So we set a t imer f or 15 minut es, and I closed my eyes and began t o breat he consciously. In my
mind, I asked t he quest ion: Who is my spirit ual guide? and t hen I count ed my breat h, in and out , in and
out . Right away, my ent ire body f elt numb. I couldn’ t dist inguish my nose f rom my t oes. It was a st range
but comf ort ing sensat ion, and I enj oyed it . It f elt as if my body was slowly spinning even t hough I knew
t hat I was sit t ing in a chair. The t imer rang and st art led us, and I said, “ Let ’ s do it again. ”
Once more, I closed my eyes, count ed my breat hs, and f elt numb f rom head t o t oe. Again, t he t imer rang
and st art led us. “ Let ’ s do it again, ” I said.
So we set t he t imer f or anot her 15 minut es, and again I f elt numbness overt ake my ent ire body. But t his
t ime, somet hing, or someone, began t o “ breat he my body. ” From my vant age point , it f elt like rapt urous
love, moving f rom deep inside my body out ward. What a glorious sensat ion! Jerry heard my sof t sounds of
pleasure and lat er said t hat , t o him, I appeared t o be writ hing in ecst asy.
When t he t imer went of f and I came out of t he medit at ion, my t eet h chat t ered like never bef ore. Buzzed
would be a bet t er word f or t he experience. For nearly an hour, my t eet h buzzed as I t ried t o relax back
int o my normal st at e of awareness.
At t hat t ime, I didn’ t realize what had happened, but I know now t hat I’ d experienced my f irst cont act
wit h Abraham. While I didn’ t know what had happened, I did know t hat what ever it was—it was good! And
I want ed it t o happen again.
So Jerry and I made t he decision t o medit at e every day f or 15 minut es. I don’ t t hink we missed a day in
t he next nine mont hs. I f elt t he numbness, or f eeling of det achment , each t ime, but not hing else
ext raordinary happened during our medit at ions. And t hen, right bef ore Thanksgiving of 1985, while
medit at ing, my head began t o move gent ly f rom side t o side. For t he next f ew days, during medit at ion,
my head would move in t hat gent le f lowing mot ion. It was a lovely sensat ion t hat sort of f elt like f lying.
And t hen, on about t he t hird day of t his new movement , during medit at ion, I realized t hat my head was
not randomly moving about , but it was as if my nose was spelling let t ers in t he air. “ M-N-O-P” is what I
realized it was.
“ Jerry, ” I shout ed, “ I’ m spelling let t ers wit h my nose! ” And wit h t hose words, t he rapt urous f eelings
ret urned. Goose bumps covered my body f rom head t o t oe as t his Non-Physical Energy rippled t hrough my
body.
Jerry quickly t ook out his not ebook and began writ ing down t he let t ers, as my nose wrot e t hem in t he air:
“ I AM ABRAHAM. I AM YOUR SPIRITUAL GUIDE. ”
Abraham has since explained t o us t hat t here are many gat hered t here wit h “ t hem. ” They ref er t o
t hemselves in t he plural because t hey’ re a Collect ive Consciousness. They’ ve explained t hat , in t he
beginning, t he words “ I am Abraham” were spoken t hrough me only because my expect at ion f or my
spirit ual guide was singular, but t hat t here are many t here wit h t hem, speaking, in a sense of t he word,
wit h one voice, or a consensus of t hought .
To quot e Abraham: Abraham is not a singular consciousness as you f eel t hat you are in your singular
bodies. Abraham is a Collect ive Consciousness. There is a Non-Physical St ream of Consciousness, and as
one of you asks a quest ion, t here are many, many point s of consciousness t hat are f unneling t hrough what
f eels t o be t he one perspect ive (because t here is, in t his case, one human, Est her, who is int erpret ing or
art iculat ing it ), so it appears singular t o you. We are mult idimensional and mult if acet ed and cert ainly
mult i-consciousness.
Abraham has since explained t hat t hey’ re not whispering words int o my ears, which I am t hen repeat ing
f or ot hers, but inst ead t hey’ re of f ering blocks of t hought s, like radio signals, which I’ m receiving at some
unconscious level. I t hen t ranslat e t hose blocks of t hought s int o t he physical word equivalent . I “ hear”
t he words as t hey’ re spoken t hrough me, but during t he t ranslat ion process it self , I have no awareness of
what is coming, or t ime f or recollect ion of what has already come.
Abraham explained t hat t hey had been of f ering t hese blocks of t hought s t o me f or quit e some t ime, but I
was so st rict ly t rying t o f ollow Theo’ s inst ruct ions—which said, “ When your mind wanders, and it will,
release t he t hought s and f ocus on your breat hing” —t hat whenever one of t hese t hought s would begin, I
would release it as quickly as possible and f ocus back upon my breat hing. I guess t he only way t hey could
get t hrough t o me was t o spell let t ers in t he air wit h my nose. Abraham says t hat t hose wonderf ul
sensat ions t hat rippled t hrough my body when I realized t hat I was spelling words was t he j oy t hey f elt
upon my recognit ion of our conscious connect ion.

Our communicat ion process evolved rapidly over t he next f ew weeks. The spelling of let t ers in t he air
wit h my nose was a very slow process, but Jerry was so excit ed about t his clear and viable source of
inf ormat ion t hat he would of t en wake me up in t he middle of t he night t o ask Abraham quest ions.
But t hen, one night I f elt a very st rong sensat ion moving t hrough my arms, hands, and f ingers, and my
hand began t humping on Jerry’ s chest as we lay in bed t oget her wat ching t elevision. As my hand
cont inued t o t hump, I f elt a very st rong impulse t o go t o my IBM Select ric t ypewrit er, and as I put my
f ingers on t he keyboard, my hands began moving quickly up and down t he keys as if someone was quickly
discovering what t his t ypewrit er was all about and where t he specif ic let t ers were placed. And t hen my
hands began t o t ype: Every let t er, every number, again and again. And t hen t he words began t o t ake f orm
on t he paper: I am Abraham. I am your spirit ual guide. I am here t o work wit h you. I love you. We will
writ e a book t oget her.
We discovered t hat I could put my hands on t he keyboard and t hen relax, much in t he same way t hat I did
during medit at ion, and t hat Abraham (whom we will now ref er t o as “ t hey” f rom here on in) would t hen
answer quest ions about anyt hing t hat Jerry would ask. It was an amazing experience. They were so
int elligent , so loving, and so available! Anyt ime, day or night , t hey were t here t o t alk t o us about
anyt hing t hat we want ed t o discuss.
Then, one af t ernoon, while driving on a Phoenix f reeway, I f elt a sensat ion in my mout h, chin, and neck,
similar t o t he f amiliar f eeling of get t ing ready t o yawn. It was a very st rong impulse, so st rong I couldn’ t
st if le it . We were rounding a corner bet ween t wo big t rucks, and bot h of t hem seemed t o be crossing t he
line int o our lane at t he same t ime, and I t hought f or a moment t hat t hey were going t o drive right over
t he t op of us. And in t hat very moment , t he f irst words t hat Abraham spoke t hrough my mout h burst out ,
“ Take t he next exit ! ” .
We exit ed t he f reeway and parked in a lot underneat h an overpass, and Jerry and Abraham visit ed f or
hours. My eyes were closed t ight ly, and my head moved up and down rhyt hmically as Abraham answered
Jerry’ s st ream of quest ions.
How is it t hat t his wonderf ul t hing has happened t o me? At t imes, as I t hink about it , I can hardly believe
t hat it ’ s t rue. It seems like t he kind of t hing t hat f airy t ales are made of —almost like making a wish as you
rub t he magic lant ern. At ot her t imes, it seems like t he most nat ural, logical experience in t he world.
Somet imes I can barely remember what lif e was like bef ore Abraham came int o our lives. I have, wit h f ew
except ions, always been what most would call a happy person. I had a wonderf ul childhood, wit h no
maj or t raumas, and along wit h t wo ot her sist ers, I was born t o kind and loving parent s. As I ment ioned,
Jerry and I had been blissf ully married f or about f our years, and I was, in every sense, living happily ever
af t er. I wouldn’ t have described myself as someone f illed wit h unanswered quest ions. In f act , I really
wasn’ t asking many quest ions at all, and I hadn’ t f ormulat ed any st rong opinions about much of anyt hing.
Jerry, on t he ot her hand, was f illed wit h passionat e quest ions. He was a voracious reader, always looking
f or t ools and t echniques t hat he could pass along t o ot hers t o help t hem live more j oyous lives. To t his
day, I’ ve never known anyone who want s more t o help ot hers live successf ul lives.
Abraham has explained t hat t he reason why Jerry and I are t he perf ect combinat ion f or doing t his work
t oget her is because Jerry’ s powerf ul desire summoned Abraham, while my absence of opinions or angst
made me a good receiver f or t he inf ormat ion t hat Jerry was summoning.
Jerry was so ent husiast ic, even in his f irst int eract ions wit h Abraham, because he underst ood t he dept h of
t heir wisdom and t he clarit y of t heir of f ering. And t hroughout all t hese years, his ent husiasm f or
Abraham’ s message hasn’ t waned in t he least . No one in t he room ever enj oys what Abraham has t o say
more t han Jerry.
In t he beginning of our int eract ions wit h Abraham, we didn’ t really underst and what was happening, and
we had no real way of knowing whom Jerry was t alking wit h, but it was st ill t hrilling and amazing and
wonderf ul—and weird. It seemed so st range t hat I was cert ain t hat most people I knew wouldn’ t
underst and; t hey probably wouldn’ t even want t o underst and. As a result , I made Jerry promise t hat he
would t ell no one about our amazing secret .
I guess it ’ s now obvious t hat Jerry didn’ t keep t hat promise, but I’ m not sorry about t hat . There’ s not hing
t hat eit her of us would rat her do t han be in a room f illed wit h people who have t hings t hey’ d like t o
discuss wit h Abraham. What we hear most of t en, f rom people who meet Abraham t hrough our books,
videos, audio series, workshops, or Websit e, is: “ Thank you f or helping me remember what I’ ve somehow
always known, ” and “ This has helped me t ie t oget her all t he pieces of t rut h t hat I’ ve f ound along t he
way. This has helped me make sense of everyt hing! ”
Abraham doesn’ t seem int erest ed in f orecast ing our f ut ure, as a f ort une-t eller might , alt hough I believe
t hat t hey always know what our f ut ure holds, but inst ead t hey’ re t eachers who guide us f rom wherever
we are t o wherever we want t o be. They’ ve explained t o us t hat it ’ s not t heir work t o decide what we
should want , but it is t heir work t o assist us in achieving what ever we desire. In Abraham’ s words:
Abraham is not about guiding anyone t oward or away f rom anyt hing. We want you t o make all your
decisions about your desires. Our only desire f or you is t hat you discover t he way t o achieve your desires.
My f avorit e t hing t hat I’ ve ever heard spoken about Abraham came t o us f rom a t eenage boy who had j ust
list ened t o a recording in which Abraham was addressing some quest ions t hat t eens had been asking. The
boy said, “ At f irst , I didn’ t believe t hat Est her was really speaking f or Abraham. But when I heard t he
t ape, and heard Abraham’ s answers t o t hese quest ions, I t hen knew t hat Abraham was real, because t here
was no j udgment . I don’ t believe t hat any person could be so wise, so f air, and wit hout j udgment . ”
For me, t his j ourney wit h Abraham has been more wonderf ul t han I can f ind words t o explain. I adore t he
sense of Well-Being I’ ve achieved f rom what I’ ve learned f rom t hem. I love how t heir gent le guidance
always leaves me wit h a f eeling of self -empowerment . I love seeing t he lives of so many of our dear
f riends (and new f riends), improving t hrough t he applicat ion of what Abraham has t aught t hem. I love
having t hese brilliant and loving Beings pop int o my head whenever I ask, always ready and willing t o
assist in our underst anding of somet hing.
(As an aside, several years af t er our meet ing wit h Sheila and Theo, Jerry looked up t he name Theo in our
dict ionary. “ The meaning of Theo, ” he j oyously announced t o me, “ is God” \ How perf ect t hat is! I smile
as I ref lect back on t hat wonderf ul day, which was such an ext raordinary t urning point f or us. There I was,
worried about int eract ing wit h evil, when I was, in f act , on my way t o having a conversat ion wit h God! )
In t he early days of our work wit h Abraham, our audiences want ed us t o explain our relat ionship wit h
Abraham. “ How did your meet ing occur? How do you maint ain your relat ionship? Why did t hey choose you?
What is it like t o be t he speaker of such prof ound wisdom?” So, Jerry and I would spend a f ew minut es at
t he beginning of every speaking engagement or radio or t elevision int erview t rying our best t o sat isf y
t hose quest ions. But I always f elt impat ient wit h t hat part of our present at ion. I j ust want ed t o relax and
allow Abraham’ s Consciousness t o begin f lowing, and t o get on wit h what Jerry and I f elt was t he t rue
reason we were st anding t here t o begin wit h.
Event ually, we creat ed a f ree Int roduct ion t o Abraham recording t hat people could list en t o at t heir
leisure, which explains t he det ails of how our Abraham experience began and evolved. (We’ ve now post ed
t hat 74-minut e Int roduct ion as a f ree download at www. abraham-hicks. com, our int eract ive Websit e t o
explain who we are and what we were doing bef ore meet ing Abraham. ) We bot h very much enj oy our part
in t he process of get t ing Abraham’ s message int o a f ormat t hat can be heard and ut ilized by ot hers, but
t o us, Abraham’ s message has always f elt like t he main event .
This morning, Abraham said t o me, Est her, we are aware of t he quest ions t hat are radiat ing f rom t he
mass consciousness of your planet , and here, t hrough you, we will j oyously of f er t he answers. Relax and
enj oy t he delicious unf olding of t his book.
So I’ m going t o relax here, and allow Abraham t o immediat ely begin writ ing t his book t o you. I imagine
t hat t hey will explain t o you, f rom t heir perspect ive, who t hey are, but more import ant , I believe t hat
t hey will help you come t o underst and who you are. It is my desire t hat your meet ing wit h Abraham will
be as meaningf ul f or you as it cont inues t o be f or us.

— Wit h love, Est her

Things That We Know, That You May Have Forgotten, Which Are Important for You to Remember

Chapter 1
The Power of Feeling Grood Now

They are called Abraham, and we are speaking t o you f rom t he Non-Physical dimension. Of course, you
must underst and t hat you also have come f ort h f rom t he Non-Physical dimension, so we are not so
dif f erent f rom one anot her. Your physical world has come f ort h f rom t he proj ect ion of t he Non-Physical.
In f act , you and your physical world are ext ensions of t he Non-Physical Source Energy.
In t his Non-Physical realm, we do not use words, f or we do not require language. We also do not have
t ongues wit h which t o speak or ears wit h which t o hear, alt hough we do communicat e perf ect ly wit h one
anot her. Our Non-Physical language is one of vibrat ion, and our Non-Physical communit ies, or f amilies,
are t hose of int ent ion. In ot her words, we radiat e t hat which we are, vibrat ionally, and ot hers of like
int ent assemble. That is also t rue of your physical world, alt hough most of you have f orgot t en t hat t his is
so.
Abraham is a f amily of Non-Physical Beings nat urally assembled by our powerf ul int ent ion t o remind you,
our physical ext ensions, of t he Laws of t he Universe t hat govern all t hings. It is our int ent ion t o help you
remember t hat you are ext ensions of Source Energy; t hat you are blessed, loved Beings; and t hat you
have come f ort h int o t his physical t ime-space-realit y t o j oyously creat e.
All who are physically f ocused have Non-Physical count erpart s. There is no except ion t o t hat . All who are
physically f ocused have access t o t he broader perspect ive of t hat which is Non-Physical. There is no
except ion t o t hat . But most physical Beings have become so dist ract ed by t he physical nat ure of your
planet t hat you have developed st rong pat t erns of resist ance t hat t hwart your clear connect ion t o your
own Source. It is our int ent ion t o help t hose who are asking t o remember t hat connect ion.
While all physical humans have access t o t he clear communicat ion f rom t he Non-Physical, most are not
consciously aware of it . And of t en, even when you are aware t hat it is possible, you hold habit s of t hought
t hat act as resist ance hindering your abilit y t o consciously int eract .
However, on occasion, a clear channel of communicat ion opens and we are able t o convey our
underst anding, vibrat ionally, t o someone who can clearly receive it and t ranslat e it . And t hat is what is
happening here t hrough Est her. We of f er our knowing, vibrat ionally, in a way t hat is similar t o what you
underst and as radio signals, and Est her receives t hose vibrat ions and t ranslat es t hem int o t he physical
word equivalent . There are not , however, adequat e physical words t o convey our sat isf act ion and j oy in
being able t o of f er our knowing t o you, in t his way, at t his t ime.
It is our powerf ul desire t hat you be pleased wit h where you are right now, in t his moment —no mat t er
where you are. We underst and how st range t hese words must sound t o you if you are st anding in a place
t hat seems f ar f rom where you want t o be. But it is our absolut e promise t o you t hat when you
underst and t he power of f eeling good now, no mat t er what , you will hold t he key t o t he achievement of
any st at e of being, any st at e of healt h, any st at e of wealt h, or any st at e of anyt hing t hat you desire.
These pages are specif ically writ t en t o give you a bet t er underst anding of yourself and of everyone else
around you, and you may f ind some of t hat helpf ul, but words really do not t each. Your t rue knowledge
comes f rom your own lif e experience. And while you will be a const ant gat herer of experience and
knowledge, your lif e is not only about t hat —it is about f ulf illment , sat isf act ion, and j oy. Your lif e is about
t he cont inuing expression of who you t ruly are.

You Only Hear What You Are Ready to Hear

We are t alking t o you at many levels of your awareness, all at t he same t ime, but you will only receive
what ever you are now ready t o receive. Everyone will not get t he same t hing f rom t his book, but every
reading of t his book will net you somet hing more. This is a book t hat will be read many t imes by t hose
who underst and it s power. It is a book t hat will help physical Beings underst and t heir relat ionship t o GOD
and t o ALL-THAT-THEY-REALLY-ARE.
This is a book t hat will help you underst and who you really are, who you have been, where you are going,
and all t hat you cont inue t o be.
This book will help you underst and t hat you never, ever get it done. It will help you underst and your
relat ionship wit h your hist ory and wit h your f ut ure—but , most import ant , it will awaken wit hin you your
awareness of t he pot ency of your powerf ul now.
You will learn how you are t he creat or of your own experience and why all of your power is in your now.
And ult imat ely t his book will lead you t o an underst anding of your Emot ional Guidance Syst em and t o an
underst anding of your vibrat ional set -point .
Here you will f ind a series of processes t hat will assist you in reconnect ing wit h t he “ Non-Physical” part of
yourself , processes t hat will help you in achieving anyt hing you desire. And as you apply t hese processes,
and as your memory awakens t o t he powerf ul Laws of t he Universe—your nat urally j oyf ul zest f or lif e will
ret urn.
 Chapter 2
We Are Keeping Our Promise to You— We Are Reminding You of Who You Are

Do you know what you want ? Do you know t hat you are t he creat or of your own experience? Are you
enj oying t he evolut ion of your desire? Do you f eel t he f reshness of a new desire pulsing wit hin you? If you
are among t he rare humans who answered, “ Yes, I’ m enj oying t he evolut ion of my desire. I f eel wonderf ul
as I st and in t his place where many t hings t hat I desire have not yet come t o me, ” t hen you underst and
who you are and what t his physical lif e experience is really all about .
But if you are, as most humans are, f eeling unhappy about your unf ulf illed desires; if you have a desire
f or more money, but you f ind yourself in a cont inual st at e of short age; if you are not sat isf ied wit h your
j ob sit uat ion, but you f eel st uck and cannot see any way of improving it ; if your relat ionships are not
sat isf ying, or if t he dream relat ionship t hat you have desired f or as long as you can remember cont inues
t o be j ust out of reach; if your body does not f eel or look t he way you would like . . . t hen t here are some
very import ant and rat her easy-t o-underst and t hings t hat we would like t o convey t o you here.
We want t o give you t his inf ormat ion because we want you t o f ind your way t o all t hings t hat you desire.
But t hat is really only a small part of our reason, f or we underst and t hat even when you have achieved
everyt hing on your current list of t hings t hat you desire, t here will be anot her list , even longer and more
expansive, t o t ake it s place. So, t his book is not being writ t en t o assist you in get t ing everyt hing you want
checked of f your list , f or we underst and t he impossible nat ure of t hat endeavor.
We writ e t his book t o reawaken wit hin you your memory of t he power and inevit able success t hat pulses
t hrough t he core of t hat which you really are. We writ e t his book t o assist you in ret urning you t o your
place of opt imism, posit ive expect at ion, and expanding j oy; and t o remind you t hat t here is not hing t hat
you cannot be, do, or have. We writ e t his book because we promised you we would. And now, as you hold
t his book in your hands, you are complet ing a promise you made as well.

You Said, “ I Will Live in Joy!”

You said, “ I will go f ort h int o t he physical t ime-space-realit y among ot her Beings, and I will assume an
ident it y wit h a clear and specif ic perspect ive. I will learn t o see myself f rom t hat point of view, and I will
enj oy being seen as t hat point of view. ”
You said, “ I will observe what surrounds me, and my response t o what I observe will cause my own
valuable personal pref erences t o be born. ”
You said, “ I will know t he value of my pref erences. I will know t he value of my perspect ive. ”
And t hen you said (and t his is t he most import ant part of all), “ I will always f eel t he power and value of
my own personal perspect ive, f or t he ‘ Non-Physical Energy’ t hat creat es worlds will f low t hrough my
decisions, my int ent ions and my every t hought , f or t he creat ion of t hat which I set int o mot ion f rom my
perspect ive. ”
You knew t hen, bef ore your physical birt h, t hat you were “ Source Energy” specif ically f ocused in t his
physical body, and you knew t hat t he physical person you would become could never

be separat ed f rom t hat which you came f rom. You underst ood t hen, your et ernal connect ion t o t hat
Source Energy.
You said, “ I will love pouring myself int o t his physical body, int o physical t ime-space-realit y, f or t hat
environment will cause me t o f ocus t he powerf ul Energy t hat is me int o somet hing more specif ic. And in
t he specif ics of t hat f ocus, t here will be powerf ul mot ion f orward—and j oy. ”

We Know Who You Are

So, you came f ort h int o t his wonderf ul body, remembering t he j oyous, powerf ul nat ure t hat is you,
knowing t hat you would always remember t he splendor of t he Source f rom which you came, and knowing
t hat you could never lose your connect ion t o t hat Source.
So now, here we are, helping you remember t hat no mat t er how you may f eel right now, you cannot lose
your connect ion t o t hat Source.
We are here t o help you remember t he powerf ul nat ure t hat is you, and t o assist you in ret urning t o t hat
conf ident , j oyf ul, always-looking-f or-somet hing-else-wonderf ul-t o-t urn-your-at t ent ion-t o person t hat is

Since we know who you are, we will easily help you remember who you are.
Since we are where you came f rom, we will easi ly remind you of where you have come f rom.
Since we know what you desire, we will easily guide you t o help yourself t o t hat which you desire.

There Is Nothing That You Cannot Be, Do, or Have

We want you t o remember t hat t here is not hing t hat you cannot be, do, or have, and we want t o assist
you in achieving t hat . But we love where you are right now, even if you do not , because we underst and
how j oyf ul t he j ourney (f rom where you are t o where you want t o go) will be.
We want t o help you leave behind any percept ions you have picked up along your physical t rail t hat are

wit hin t he very core of t hat which you are.
So relax, and enj oy t his easy-paced j ourney t o rediscovering who you really are. It is our desire t hat by
t he t ime you reach t he end of t his book, you will know yourself as we know you, t hat you will love
yourself as we love you, and t hat you will be enj oying your lif e as we are enj oying your lif e.
 Chapter 3
You Do Create Your Own Reality

Not so very long ago, our f riends Jerry and Est her were int roduced t o t his phrase: “ You are t he creat or of
your own realit y. ” (They had discovered t he Set h books by Jane Robert s. ) For t hem, it was bot h an
excit ing prospect and a t roubling one, f or, like so many of our physical f riends, t hey did desire creat ive
cont rol of t heir own experience, but t hey were plagued wi t h some basic quest ions: is it really all right f or
us t o choose t he realit y t hat we creat e? And if it is appropriat e f or us t o do so, how do we go about doing
it ?”

The Basis of Your Life Is Absolute Freedom

You were born wit h an innat e knowledge t hat you do creat e your own mind. And, in f act , t hat knowledge
is so basic wit hin you t hat when someone at t empt s t o t hwart your own creat ion, you f eel an immediat e
discord wit hin yourself . You were born knowing t hat you are t he creat or of your own realit y, and alt hough
t hat desire t o do so pulsed wit hin you in a powerf ul way, when you began t o int egrat e int o your societ y,
you began t o accept much of t he same pict ure t hat ot hers held of t he way your lif e should unf old. But
st ill, wit hin you t oday lives t he knowledge t hat you are t he creat or of your own lif e experience, t hat
absolut e f reedom exist s as t he basis of your t rue experience, and t hat ult imat ely t he creat ion of your lif e
experience is absolut ely and only up t o you.
You have never enj oyed someone else t elling you what t o do. You have never enj oyed being dissuaded
f rom your own powerf ul impulses. But over t ime, wit h enough pressure f rom t hose who surrounded you
who seemed convinced t hat t heir pract iced way was more valid t han your way (and, t heref ore, ult imat ely
bet t er), you gradually began t o release your det erminat ion t o guide your own lif e. You of t en f ound it
easier j ust t o adapt t o t heir ideas of what was best f or you rat her t han t rying t o f igure it out f or yourself .
But in all t his adapt ing t o your societ y’ s at t empt s t o make you f it in, and in your own at t empt t o f ind less
t rouble, you have unwit t ingly relinquished your most basic f oundat ion: your t ot al and absolut e f reedom t o
creat e.
You have not given up t his f reedom easily, however, and, in f act , you can never t ruly release it , f or it
exist s as t he most basic t enet of your very being. St ill, in your at t empt t o release it f or t he sake of
get t ing along, or in your hopeless resignat ion t hat you have no ot her choice t han t o give up your powerf ul
right t o choose. . . you have gone crossways t o your nat ural current , and cont rary t o your very soul.

No One Else Can Create in Your Experience

This book is about your realignment wit h Source Energy. It is about your reawakening t o t he clarit y,
goodness, and power t hat is really who you are. It is writ t en t o assist you in consciously ret urning t o t he
knowledge t hat you are f ree and t hat you always have been f ree—and t hat you always will be f ree t o
make your own choices. There is no sat isf act ion in allowing someone else t o at t empt t o creat e your
realit y. In f act , it is not possible f or anyone else t o creat e your realit y.
Once you have realigned wit h et ernal f orces and Universal Laws, and wit h t hat which is t ruly t he Source
of t hat which you are, t hen j oyous creat ion, beyond physical descript ion, await s you, f or you are t he
creat or of your own experience, and t here is such sat isf act ion in int ent ionally guiding your own lif e.

You Are Eternal Beings in Physical Form

You are et ernal Beings who have chosen t o part icipat e in t his specif ic physical lif e experience f or many
wonderf ul reasons. And t his t ime-space-realit y on Planet Eart h serves as a plat f orm in which you are able
t o f ocus your perspect ive f or t he purpose of specif ic creat ion.
You are et ernal Consciousness, current ly in t his wonderf ul physical body f or t he t hrill and exhilarat ion of
specif ic f ocus and creat ion. The physical being t hat you def ine as “ you” st ands on t he Leading Edge of
t hought , while Consciousness, which is really rour Source, pours t hrough you. And in t hose moment s of
inexpressible elat ion, t hose are t he t imes when you are wide open and t ruly allowing your Source t o
express t hrough you.
Somet imes you are f ully allowing t he t rue nat ure of your Being t o f low t hrough you, and somet imes you
do not allow it t o f low. This book is writ t en t o help you underst and t hat you have t he abilit y t o always
allow your t rue nat ure t o pour t hrough you, and t hat m you learn t o consciously allow your f ull connect ion
wit h t he You t hat is your Source, your experience will be one of absolut e j oy. Consciously choosing t he
direct ion of your t hought s, you can be in const ant connect ion wit h Source Energy, wit h God, wit h j oy, and
wit h all t hat you consider t o be good.

Absolute Well-Being Is the Basis of Your Universe

Well-Being is t he basis of t his Universe. Well-Being is t he basis of All-That -Is. It f lows t o you and t hrough
you. You have only t o allow it . Like t he air you breat he, you have only t o open, relax, and draw it int o
your Being.
This book is about consciously allowing your nat ural connect ion t o t he St ream of Well-Being. It is about
remembering who you really are so t hat you can get on wit h t he creat ion of your lif e experience in t he
way you int ended bef ore you came f ort h int o t his physical body, and int o t his magnif icent Leading-Edge
experience. . . where you f ully int ended t o express your f reedom in endless, j oyous, co-creat ive ways.
Can you underst and how much Well-Being is f lowing t o you? Do you underst and how much orchest rat ion of
circumst ances and event s on your behalf is available t o you? Do you underst and how adored you are? Do
you underst and how t he creat ion of t his planet , t he creat ion of t his Universe, f it s t oget her f or t he
perf ect ion of your experience?
Do you underst and how beloved you are, how blessed you are, how adored you are, and what an int egral
part of t his creat ive process you are? We want you t o. We want you t o begin t o underst and t he blessed
nat ure of your Being, and we want you t o begin t o look f or t he evidence of it , because we are showing it
t o you in every moment t hat you will allow yourselves t o see it : in t he lining up of lovers, money,
f ulf illing experiences, and beaut if ul t hings f or you t o see; in t he lining up of circumst ances and event s;
and in t he lining up of amazing co-creat ive experiences where you are rendezvousing wit h one anot her f or
no ot her reason t han f or t he f ant ast ically import ant reason of f ulf illing, sat isf ying, and pleasing yourself
and giving yourself j oy in t he moment .
Your mot ion f orward is inevit able; it must be. You cannot help but move f orward. But you are not here on
a quest t o move f orward—you are here t o experience out rageous j oy. That is why you are here.
 Chapter 4
How Can I Get There from Here?

Perhaps t he quest ion we hear most of t en f rom our physical f riends is: Why is it t aking me so long t o get
what I want ?
It is not because you do not want it enough.
It is not because you are not int elligent enough.
It is not because you are not wort hy enough.
It is not because f at e is against you.
It is not because someone else has already won your prize.
The reason you have not already got t en what you desire is because you are holding yourself in a
vibrat ional holding pat t ern t hat does not mat ch t he vibrat ion of your desire. That is t he only reason—
ever! And an import ant t hing f or you t o now underst and is t hat if you will st op and t hink about it , or,
more import ant , st op and f eel about it , you can ident if y your very discord.
So now, t he only t hing you need t o do is gent ly and gradually, piece by piece, release your resist ant
t hought s, which are t he only disallowing f act ors involved. Your increasing relief will be t he indicat or t hat
you are releasing resist ance, j ust as your f eelings of increased t ension, anger, f rust rat ion, and so on, have
been your indicat ors t hat you have been adding t o your resist ance.

Well-Being Is Lined Up Outside Your Door

We want t o remind you of t he basic premise t hat must be underst ood bef ore any of t his will make sense
t o you: Well-Being f lows; Well-Being want s you! Well-Being is lined up out side your door. Everyt hing you
have ever desired, whet her spoken or unspoken, has been t ransmit t ed by you vibrat ionally. It has been
heard and underst ood by Source and has been answered, and now you are going t o f eel your way int o
allowing yourself t o receive it , one f eeling at a t ime.

You Are a Physical Extension of Source Energy

You are an ext ension of Source Energy. You are st anding on t he Leading Edge of t hought . Your t ime-
space-realit y was set int o mot ion t hrough t he power of t hought long bef ore it manif est ed in t he physical
f orm in which you see it now. Everyt hing in your physical environment was creat ed f rom Non-Physical
perspect ive by t hat which you call Source. And j ust as Source creat ed your world, and you, t hrough t he
power of f ocused t hought , you are cont inuing t o creat e your world f rom your Leading-Edge place in t his
t ime-space-realit y.
You and t hat which you call Source are t he same.
You cannot be separat ed f rom Source.
Source is never separat ed f rom you.
When we t hink of you, we t hink of Source.
When we t hink of Source, we t hink of you.
Source never of f ers a t hought t hat causes separat ion f rom you.
You cannot of f er a t hought t hat would cause t ot al separat ion (separat ion is act ually f ar t oo st rong of a
word), but you can of f er t hought s t hat are dif f erent enough in vibrat ional nat ure t o hinder your nat ural
connect ion wit h Source. We ref er t o t hat condit ion as resist ance.
The only f orm of resist ance, or hindrance of your connect ion t o t hat which is Source, is of f ered by you
f rom your physical perspect ive. Source is always f ully available t o you, and Well-Being is const ant ly
ext ended t o you, and of t en you are in t he st at e of allowing t his Well-Being, but somet imes you are not .
We want t o assist you in consciously allowing your connect ion, more of t he t ime, t o Source,
As ext ensions of Non-Physical Energy, you are t aking t hought beyond t hat which it has been bef ore—and
t hrough cont rast , you t rill come t o conclusions or decisions. And once you align wit h your desire, t he Non-
Physical Energy t hat creat es worlds will f low t hrough you. . . which means ent husiasm, passion, and
t riumph. That is your dest iny.
From t he Non-Physical, You creat ed you; and now f rom t he physical, you cont inue t o creat e. We all must
have obj ect s of at t ent ion, desires t hat are ringing our bells, in order t o f eel t he f ullness of who we are
f lowing t hrough us f or t he cont inuat ion of All-That -Is. That desire is what put s t he et ernalness in et ernit y.
 The Evolutionary Value of Your Personal Preferences

Do not underest imat e t he value of your pref erences, f or t he evolut ion of your planet depends upon t hose
of you on t he Leading Edge of t hought cont inuing t o f ine-t une your desires. And t he cont rast , or variet y,
in which you are st anding provides t he perf ect environment f or t he f ormat ion of your personal
pref erences. As you are st anding in t he midst of cont rast , new desires are radiat ing const ant ly f rom you in
t he f orm of vibrat ional signals t hat are received and answered by Source—and in t hat moment , t he
Universe is expanding.
This book is not about t he expanding Universe, or about Source answering your every request , or about
your wort hiness—f or all of t hat is a given. This book is about you put t ing yourself in a vibrat ional place of
receiving all t hat you are asking f or.

The Science of Deliberate Creation

We want t o assist you in t he deliberat e realizat ion of t he t hings t hat your environment has inspired wit hin
you, f or we want you t o experience t he exhilarat ion of j oyously, consciously, creat ing your own realit y.
You do creat e your own realit y. No one else does. And, you creat e your own realit y even if you do not
underst and t hat you do so. For t hat reason, you of t en creat e by def ault . When you are consciously aware
of your own t hought s, and you are deliberat ely of f ering t hem, t hen you are t he deliberat e creat or of your
own realit y—and t hat is what you int ended when you made t he decision t o come f ort h int o t his body.
Your desires and belief s are j ust t hought s: “ Ask and it is given. ” You ask t hrough your at t ent ion, t hrough
your want ing, t hrough your desire—t hat is t he asking (whet her you desire it t o happen, or you desire it
not t o happen, you are asking. . . You do not have t o use your words. You j ust have t o f eel it in your being:
I desire t his. I adore t his. I appreciat e t his, and so on. That desire is t he beginning of all at t ract ion.
You never grow t ired of expansion or of creat ion, f or t here is no ending t o t he new ideas of desires t hat
f low. Wit h every new idea of somet hing you would like t o experience, possess, or know. . . will come it s
act ualizat ion or manif est at ion—and wit h t hat manif est at ion will also come a new perspect ive f rom which
you will desire. The cont rast , or variet y, never ends, so t he sprout ing f ort h of new desires will never end,
and as t hat “ asking” never ends, t he “ answering” never ceases t o f low. And so, new perspect ives will
always be yours. New cont rast s, and new inspiring desires and perspect ives, will be laid out et ernally
bef ore you.
Once you relax int o t he idea t hat you will never cease t o be, t hat new desires will be const ant ly born
wit hin you, t hat Source will never st op answering your desires, and t hat your expansion is, t heref ore,
et ernal, t hen you may begin t o relax if , in t his moment , t here is somet hing t hat you desire t hat has not
yet come t o f ruit ion.
It is our desire t hat you become one who is happy wit h t hat which you are and wit h t hat which you have—
while at t he same t ime being eager f or more. That is t he opt imal creat ive vant age point : To st and on t he
brink of what is coming, f eeling eager, opt imist ic ant icipat ion—wit h no f eeling of impat ience, doubt , or
unwort hiness hindering t he receiving of it —t hat is t he Science of Deliberat e Creat ion at it s best .
 Chapter 5
This Simple Basis of Understanding Makes It All Fit Together

There is a current t hat runs t hrough everyt hing. It exist s t hroughout t he Universe, and it exist s t hroughout
All-That -Is. It is t he basis of t he Universe, and it is t he basis of your physical world. Some are aware of
t his Energy, but most humans are unaware of it . However, everyone is af f ect ed by it .
As you begin t o underst and t he basis of your world, and you begin t o look f or, or bet t er said, f eel f or,
your awareness of t his Source Energy t hat is t he basis of all t hings, you will t hen underst and everyt hing
about your own experience. You will also more clearl y underst and t he experiences of t hose around you.

A Consistent Formula Gives You Consistent Results

Like learning t o underst and t he basics of mat hemat ics and t hen having t he successf ul experience of
underst anding t he result s of t heir applicat ions, you will now have a f ormula f or underst anding your world
t hat will always be consist ent , and which will yield consist ent result s t o you. They will be so consist ent
t hat you will be able t o predict your f ut ure experiences wit h absolut e accuracy, and you will be able t o
underst and your past experiences wit h a knowing t hat was unavailable t o you bef ore.
You will never again f eel like a vict im, in t he past or f ut ure, cowering f rom t he idea of unwant ed t hings
pouncing int o your lif e experience. You will f inally underst and t he absolut e creat ive cont rol t hat you have
of your own lif e experience. And t hen, you will be able t o t urn your at t ent ion t o your own creat ive
power, and you will experience t he absolut e bliss of wat ching all manner of t hings converging t o assist
you in t he creat ion of your own specif ic desires. Ever yone has t his pot ent ial. . . and some are realizing it .
It will be an ext remely sat isf ying experience t o ident if y your own personal desires, which will be rising
f rom t he cont rast ing lif e experiences t hat you are living, and t o know t hat each of t hose desires can be
f ully realized. From t hat place of belief ; f rom t hat place of underst anding t he basics t hat are always
consist ent : You will now short en t he t ime bet ween t he incept ion of your idea of desire and it s f ull and
absolut e manif est at ion.
You will come t o know t hat all t hings you desire can come easily and swif t ly int o your experience.

You Are a Vibrational Being in a Vibrational Environment

You can f eel whet her you are allowing your f ull connect ion t o Source Energy or not . In ot her words, t he
bet t er you f eel, t he more you are allowing your connect ion; t he worse you f eel, t he less you are allowing
your connect ion. Feeling good equals allowing t he connect ion; f eeling bad equals not allowing t he
connect ion—f eeling bad equals resist ing t he connect ion t o your Source.
You are, even in your physical expression of f lesh, blood, and bone, a “ Vibrat ional Being, ” and everyt hing
you experience in your physical environment is vibrat ional. And, it is only t hrough your abilit y t o t ranslat e
vibrat ion t hat you are able t o underst and your physical world at all. You don’ t see your physical world at
all. In ot her words, t hrough your eyes, you t ranslat e vibrat ion int o t hat which you see. Using your ears,
you t ranslat e vibrat ion int o t he sounds t hat you hear. Even your nose, t ongue, and f ingert ips are
t ranslat ing vibrat ions int o t he smells, t ast es, and t ouches t hat help you underst and your world. But your
most sophist icat ed of vibrat ional int erpret ers by f ar are your emot ions.

Your Emotions As Vibrational Interpreters

By paying at t ent ion t o t he signals of your emot ions, you can underst and, wit h absolut e precision,
everyt hing you are now living or have ever lived. And, wit h a precision and ease t hat you may have never
bef ore experienced, you can use t his new underst anding of your emot ions t o orchest rat e a f ut ure
experience t hat will please you in every way.
By paying at t ent ion t o t he way you f eel, you can f ulf ill your reason f or being here, and you can cont inue
your int ended expansion in t he j oyf ul way t hat you int ended. By underst anding your emot ional connect ion
t o who you really are, you will come t o underst and not only what is happening in your own world and
why, but you will also underst and every ot her living Being wit h whom you int eract . Never again will you
have unanswered quest ions about your world. You will underst and—f rom a very deep level, f rom your
Non-Physical perspect ive, and t hrough your own personal physical experience—everyt hing about who you
are, who you have been, and who you are becoming.
 Chapter 6
The Law of Attraction, the Most Powerful Law in the Universe

Every t hought vibrat es, every t hought radiat es a signal, and every t hought at t ract s a mat ching signal
back. We call t hat process t he Law of At t ract ion. . . The Law of At t ract ion says: That which is like unt o
it self is drawn. And so, you might see t he powerf ul Law of At t ract ion as a sort of Universal Manager t hat
sees t o it t hat all t hought s t hat mat ch one anot her line up.
You underst and t his principle when you t urn on your radio and deliberat ely t une your receiver t o mat ch a
signal f rom a broadcast ing t ower. You do not expect t o hear music t hat is being broadcast on t he radio
f requency of 101FM t o be received on your t uner when it is set at 98. 6FM. You underst and t hat radio
vibrat ional f requencies must mat ch, and t he Law of At t ract ion agrees wit h you.
So, as your experience causes you t o launch vibrat ional rocket s of desires, you must t hen f ind ways of
holding yourself consist ent ly in vibrat ional harmony wit h t hose desires in order t o receive t heir
manif est at ion.

To What Are You Giving Your Attention?

What ever you are giving your at t ent ion t o causes you t o emit a vibrat ion, and t he vibrat ions t hat you of f er
equal your asking, which equals your point of at t ract ion.
If t here is somet hing you desire t hat you current ly do not have, you need only put your at t ent ion upon it ,
and, by t he Law of At t ract ion, it will come t o you, f or as you t hink about t his t hing or experience t hat you
desire, you of f er a vibrat ion, and t hen, by Law, t hat very t hing or experience must come t o you.
However, if t here is somet hing t hat you desire t hat you current ly do not have, and you put your at t ent ion
upon your current st at e of not having it , t hen Law of At t ract ion will cont inue t o mat ch t hat not having it
vibrat ion, so you will cont inue t o not have t hat which you desire. It is Law.

How Can I Know What I Am Attracting?

The key t o bringing somet hing int o your experience t hat you desire is t o achieve vibrat ional harmony wit h
what you desire. And t he easiest way f or you t o achieve vibrat ional harmony wit h it is t o imagine having
it , pret end t hat it is already in your experience, f low your t hought s t oward t he enj oyment of t he
experience, and as you pract ice t hose t hought s and begin t o consist ent ly of f er t hat vibrat ion, you will
t hen be in t he place of allowing t hat int o your experience.
Now, by paying at t ent ion t o t he way you f eel, you can easily know if you are giving your at t ent ion t o your
desire or if you are giving it t o t he absence of your desire. When your t hought s are a vibrat ional mat ch t o
your desire, you f eel good—your emot ional range would be f rom cont ent ment t o expect at ion t o eagerness
t o j oy. But if you are giving your at t ent ion t o t he lack, or absence, of your desire—your emot ions would
range f rom f eelings of pessimism t o worry t o discouragement t o anger t o insecurit y t o depression.
And so, as you become consciously aware of your emot ions, you will always know how you are doing wit h
t he allowing part of your Creat ive Process, and you will never again misunderst and why t hings are t urning
out t he way t hey are. Your emot ions provide a wonderf ul guidance syst em f or you, and if you will pay
at t ent ion t o t hem, you will be able t o guide yourself t o anyt hing t hat you desire.

You Get What You Think About, Whether You Want It or Not

By t he powerf ul Universal Law of At t ract ion, you draw t o you t he essence of what ever you are
predominant ly t hinking about . So if you are dominant ly t hinking about t he t hings t hat you desire, your lif e
experience ref lect s t hose t hings. And, in t he same way, if you are predomimant ly t hinking about what you
do not want , your lif e experience ref lect s t hose t hings.
What ever you are t hinking about is like planning a f ut ure event . When you are appreciat ing, you are
planning. When you are worrying, you are planning. (Worrying is using your imaginat ion t o creat e
somet hing you do not want . )
Even t hought , every idea, every Being every t hing, is vibrat ional, t o when you f ocus your at t ent ion on
somet hing, even f or a short period of t ime, t he vibrat ion of your Being begins t o ref lect t he vibrat ion of
t hat which you are giving your at t ent ion t o. The more you t hink about it , t he more you vibrat e like it ; t he
more you vibrat e like it , t he more of t hat which is like it is at t ract ed t o you. That t rend of at t ract ion will
cont inue t o increase unt il a dif f erent vibrat ion is of f ered by you. And when a dif f erent vibrat ion is
of f ered, t hings t hat mat ch t hat vibrat ion are t hen drawn t o you, by you.
When you underst and t he Law of At t ract ion, you are never surprised by what occurs in your experience,
f or you underst and t hat you have invit ed every bit of it in—t hrough your own t hought process. Not hing can
occur in your lif e experience wit hout your invit at ion of it t hrough your t hought .
Because t here are no except ions t o t he powerf ul Law of At t ract ion, a t horough underst anding of it is easy
t o achieve. And once you underst and t hat you get what you t hink about , and, equally import ant , when
you are aware of what you are t hinking, t hen you are in t he posit ion t o exercise absolut e cont rol of your
own experience.

How Big Are Your Vibrational Differences?

Here are some examples. There is a very big vibrat ional dif f erence in your t hought s of appreciat ion of
your mat e, and in your t hought s of what you would like t o be dif f erent about your mat e. And your
relat ionship wit h your mat e, wit hout except ion, ref lect s t he preponderance of your t hought s. For, while
you may not have done it consciously, you have lit erally t hought your relat ionship int o being.
Your desire f or an improved f inancial condit ion cannot come t o you if you of t en f eel j ealous of your
neighbor’ s good f ort une, f or t he vibrat ion of your desire and t he vibrat ion of your j ealous f eelings are
dif f erent vibrat ions.
An underst anding of your vibrat ional nat ure will make it possible f or you t o easily, deliberat ely creat e
your own realit y. And t hen, in t ime and wit h pract ice, you will discover t hat all desire t hat you hold can
be easily realized—f or t here is not hing t hat you cannot be, do, or have.
You Are a Summoner of Vibrat ional Energy.
You are Consciousness.
You are Energy.
You are Vibrat ion.
You are Elect ricit y.
You are Source Energy.
You are Creat or.
You are on t he Leading Edge of t hought .
You are t he most specif ic, most act ive summoner and ut ilizer of t he Energy t hat creat es worlds, t hat
exist s anywhere in t his always evolving, et ernally becoming Universe.
You are creat ive genius expressing here in t his Leading-Edge t ime-space-realit y f or t he purpose of t aking
t hought beyond t hat which it has ever been bef ore.
Even t hough it may seem odd t o you at f irst , it will be helpf ul f or you t o begin t o accept yourself as a
Vibrat ional Being, f or t his is a Vibrat ional Universe in which you are living, and t he Laws t hat govern t his
Universe are Vibrat ionally based.
Once you become consciously at one wit h t he Universal Laws, and gain an underst anding of why t hings
respond in t he way t hey do, all myst ery and conf usion will be replaced by clarit y and underst anding.
Doubt and f ear will be replaced wit h knowledge and conf idence, uncert aint y will be replaced wit h
cert aint y—and j oy will ret urn as t he basic premise of your experience.

When Your Desires and Beliefs Are a Vibrational Match

That which is like unt o it self is drawn, so t he vibrat ion of your Being must mat ch t he vibrat ion of your
desire in order f or your desire t o be f ully received by you. You cannot desire somet hing, predominant ly
f ocus on t he absence of it , and t hen expect t o receive it , because t he vibrat ional f requency of it s absence
and t he vibrat ional f requency of it s presence are very dif f erent f requencies. Anot her way of saying t hat
is: Your desires and your belief s must be a vibrat ional mat ch in order f or you t o receive t hat which you
desire.
Here is a glimpse of t he bigger pict ure: You are here having experiences t hat cause you, in your divinely
specif ic perspect ive, t o ident if y, consciously or unconsciously, your personal pref erences. Now, as t hat
happens, Source, who hears you and adores you, immediat ely answers your vibrat ional, elect ronic
request , whet her you are able t o put conscious, verbal words t o it or not .
So no mat t er what you ask f or—whet her you ask f or it wit h your words, or wit h j ust a subt le impression of
your desire—your request is heard and answered every t ime, no except ions. When you ask, it is always
given.

All-That-Is Is Benefiting from Your Existence

Because of your exposure t o your specif ic experience, which causes your specif ic desire t o be f ormulat ed
wit hin you, and because Source hears and answers your request —t he Universe, in which we are all
f ocused, expands. What a wonderf ul t hing!
Your current t ime-space-realit y, your current cult ure, your current ways of looking at t hings—all of t he
t hings t hat make up your perspect ive—have evolved over count less generat ions. In f act , it would not be
possible t o ret race all t he desires, conclusions, and perspect ives t hat have result ed in your unique point
of view right here and now. But what we want very much f or you t o hear is t hat no mat t er what has
caused your unique point of view t o come about —it has come about . You do exist ; you are t hinking; you
are perceiving; you are asking—and you are being answered. And All-That -Is is benef it ing f rom your
exist ence and f rom your point of view.
So your import ance is not in quest ion, not t o us anyway. We complet ely underst and your immense value.
Your wort hiness is not in quest ion, not t o us anyway. We know t hat you deserve t o have t he Energy t hat
creat es worlds responding t o your every desire—and we know t hat it does, but many of you, f or many
reasons, hold yourself apart f rom receiving t he very t hings you are asking f or.

Rediscover the Art of Allowing Your Natural Well-Being

We want you t o rediscover your innat e abilit y t o allow t he Well-Being of t his Universe t o f low st eadily and
unrest rict ed int o your experience, and we call t his discipline t he Art of Allowing. It is t he Art of Allowing
t he Well-Being—which makes up every part icle of t hat which you are and t hat which you come f rom—t o
cont inue t o f low t hrough you as you cont inue t o be. The Art of Allowing is t he art of no longer resist ing
t he Well-Being t hat you deserve; t he Well-Being t hat is nat ural; t he Well-Being t hat is your legacy, your
Source, and your very Being.
Now t here are no preliminary courses f or you t o st udy in preparat ion f or underst anding what is present ed
here. This book is writ t en so t hat you can begin t o receive value f rom right where you are. You are ready
f or t his inf ormat ion, right now, and t his inf ormat ion is ready f or you.

You Are Standing on the Leading Edge of Thought

They like t o ref er t o t he place where you are st anding as t he Leading Edge of Thought , f or as you st and
t here—in your physical body, in your physical environment , having your physical experience—you are t he
f urt hermost ext ension of t hat which we are.
All t hat has ever been bef ore is culminat ing int o t hat which you now are. And j ust as all of your

As every person on your planet is having experiences t hat are causing t heir desires t o be born, a sort of
mass summoning is occurring, which lit erally equals t he evolut ion of your planet . And so, t he more you
int eract , t he more your personal pref erences are being ident if ied and radiat ed. . . and t he more of your
pref erences t hat are being radiat ed, t he more are being answered. As such, a powerf ul St ream of Source
Energy is now st ret ched out bef ore you f rom which your individual, personal pref erences will be received.
In ot her words, because of what so many have lived and are living, and because of t he summoning power
of so many of t heir desires, t he Well-Being of your f ut ure experience is well in place. And, in like manner,
your current desires will, in t urn, provide an Energy st ream f or f ut ure generat ions t o benef it f rom.

If You Can Desire It, the Universe Can Produce It

If your involvement in your t ime-space-realit y inspires wit hin you any sincere desire, t hen t he Universe
has t he means t o supply t he result s t hat you seek. Because your abilit y t o reach f or more expands wit h
each achievement t hat came bef ore, t he expansion may f eel breat ht aking t o t hose j ust coming t o
underst and t he power of it , but it may f eel absolut ely normal t o t hose who have already come t o
underst and and expect Well-Being t o f low const ant ly int o t heir experience. The St ream of Well-Being
f lows even if you do not underst and t hat it does, but when you consciously become aligned wit h it , your
creat ive endeavors become so much more sat isf ying, f or t hen you discover t hat t here is absolut ely
not hing t hat you desire t hat you cannot achieve.

It Works, Whether You Understand It or Not

It is not necessary t hat you f ully underst and t he complexit ies of t his et ernally expanding environment in
order t o reap t he benef it s of t hat which it has become, but it is necessary t hat you f ind a way t o go wit h
t he f low of t he Well-Being t hat is st ret ched out bef ore you. So, in t hat ef f ort , we of f er t hese words:
There is only a St ream of Well-Being t hat f lows. You can allow it or resist it , but it f lows j ust t he same.
You would not walk int o a bright ly lit room and look f or t he “ dark swit ch. ” In ot her words, you would not
expect t o f ind a swit ch t hat would f lood an inkv darkness int o t he room t o cover t he bright ness of t he
light —you would f ind a swit ch t hat would resist t he light , f or in t he absence of t he light t here is darkness.
And, in like manner, t here is not a Source of “ evil” , but t here could be a resist ing of t hat which you
believe is Good, j ust as t here is not a Source of sickness, but t here could be a resist ing of t he nat ural
Well-Being.

Without Asking, You Will Receive No Answer

Somet imes people will compliment Est her f or being able t o receive t he wisdom of Abraham, and f or
put t ing it int o writ t en or spoken word f or ot hers t o experience and receive benef it f rom, and we also add
our appreciat ion t o t hat . But we also want t o point out t hat Est her’ s receiving and t ranslat ion of our
vibrat ion is only part of t he equat ion. Wit hout t he asking t hat precedes it , t here could be no answering.
The people of your t imes are benef it ing dramat ically f rom t he experiences of t hose generat ions t hat
preceded you, f or t hrough t he experiences t hat t hey lived, and t he desires t hat were generat ed wit hin
t hem, t he summoning began. And t oday, you are t he ones on t he Leading Edge of reaping t he benef it s of
what t hose past generat ions asked f or; at t he same t ime, you are cont inuing t o ask, and you are now
summoning. . . and on it goes. So can you see how, if you can f ind a way t o allow it , t here is an avalanche
of Well-Being at your f ingert ips, ripe f or your plucking—provided you are in vibrat ional alignment wit h it ?
(And can you not see why—since t here is never a crowd on t he Leading Edge—you are not going t o have a
lot of people you can t alk t o about t his?)
These days, t here are some people experiencing int ense hardships or t raumas, and because of how t hey
are living right now, t heir asking is in a height ened and int ense place. And because of t he int ensit y of
t heir request , Source is responding in kind. And alt hough t he person who is doing t he asking is usually so
involved in t he t rauma t hat t hey are not personally receiving t he benef it of t heir own asking, f ut ure
generat ions—or even current generat ions who are not , right now, disallowing—are receiving t he benef it of
t hat asking.
We are giving t his t o you by way of helping you underst and: There is an unlimit ed St ream of Well-Being
and an abundance of all manner of t hings available t o you at all t imes—but you must be in alignment wit h
t he receiving of t hose t hings. You cannot st and in resist ance of t hem and receive t hem at t he same t ime.

Open the Floodgates and Let Your Well-Being Flow In

See yourself , right where you are now, as t he benef iciary of t he powerf ul St ream of Well-Being. Try t o
imagine t hat you are basking in t he f low of t his powerf ul st ream. Make an ef f ort t o f eel yourself as t he
Leading-Edge benef iciary of t his unlimit ed st ream, and smile and t ry t o accept t hat you are wort hy of it .
Your abilit y t o f eel your wort hiness of t he powerf ul St ream of Well-Being will undoubt edly depend on
what is happening in your lif e right now. Under some condit ions you f eel ut t erly blessed, and under ot hers
you f eel not so blessed, and it is our desire t hat , as you read t his book, you will come t o underst and t hat
t o t he degree you f eel blessed and expect good t hings t o f low t o you, t his indicat es t he level of your st at e
of allowing; and t o t he degree t hat you do not f eel bl essed, where you do not expect good t hings t o come
t o you, t his indicat es your degree of resist ance. And it is our desire t hat , as you cont inue t o read, you will
f eel able t o release any habit s of t hought t hat have result ed in your disallowing of t he St ream.
We want you t o underst and t hat if it were not f or resist ant t hought s you have picked up along your
physical t rail t hat are not in vibrat ional alignment wit h t he St ream of Well-Being, you would be, right
now, a f ull receiver of t hat St ream—f or you are a lit eral ext ension of it .
You (and how you f eel) is all t hat is responsible f or whet her you let in your inherit ance of Well-Being or
not . And while t hose around you may inf luence you, more or less, t o allow or not allow t hat St ream, it is
ult imat ely all up t o you. You can open t he f loodgat es and let in your Well-Being, or your can choose
t hought s t hat keep you pinched of f f rom what is yours—but whet her you allow it or resist it , t he st ream is
const ant ly f lowing t o you, never ending, never t iring, always t here f or your reconsiderat ion.

You Are in the Perfect Position to Get There from Here

Not hing has t o change in your environment or in t he circumst ances t hat surround you f or you t o begin t o
deliberat ely allow your own connect ion t o t he St ream of Well-Being. You could be in prison, you could
have been diagnosed wit h a t erminal illness, you could be f acing bankrupt cy, or you could be in t he
middle of a divorce. St ill, you are in t he perf ect place, right now, t o begin. And we also want you t o
underst and t hat t his will not require a great deal of t ime, f or it only requires a simple underst anding of
t he Universal Laws, and a det erminat ion t o move t oward a st at e of allowing.
When you drive your vehicle f rom place t o place, you have an awareness of your st art ing place as well as
an awareness of where you are going. You accept t hat you cannot get t here inst ant aneously; you accept
t hat you will t ravel t he dist ance, and in t ime, you will arrive at your dest inat ion. And while you may f eel
anxious t o get t here, and maybe even t ire of t he j ourney, you do not get so discouraged at t he midway
mark t hat you j ust t urn around and go back t o your st art ing place. You do not drive back and f ort h and
back and f ort h f rom your st art ing point t o t he midway point and t hen f inally collapse f rom t he never-
ending j ourney.
You do not announce your inabilit y t o accomplish your j ourney. You accept t he dist ance bet ween your
st art ing place and where you desire t o be—and you cont inue t o move in t he direct ion of your dest inat ion.
You underst and what is required—and you do it . And we want you t o come t o know t hat t he j ourney
bet ween where you are and where you want t o be—on all subj ect s—can be j ust as eas-llv underst ood.

You Are a Vibrational Transmitter and Receiver

Now you are ready t o underst and t he most essent ial part of cont rolling, creat ing, and enj oying your
physical lif e experience. Even more t han t he mat erial being t hat you have come t o know as you—you are
a Vibrat ional Being. When someone looks at you, t hey see you wit h t heir eyes and hear you wit h t heir
ears, but you are present ing yourself t o t hem, and t o t he Universe, in a much more emphat ic way t han
can be seen or heard: You are a vibrat ional t ransmit t er, and you are broadcast ing your signal in every
moment of your exist ence.
As you are f ocused in t his physical body, and while you are awake, you are const ant ly proj ect ing a very
specif ic, easily ident if iable signal t hat is inst ant ly received, underst ood, and answered. Immediat ely, your
present and f ut ure circumst ances begin t o change in response t o t he signal you are of f ering now. And so,
t he ent ire Universe, right now, is af f ect ed by what you are of f ering.

You Are an Eternal Personality, Focusing in the Now

Your world, present and f ut ure, is direct ly and specif ically af f ect ed by t he signal t hat you are now
t ransmit t ing. The personalit y t hat is You is really an et ernal personalit y, but who you are right now, and
what you are t hinking right now, is causing a f ocusing of Energy t hat is very powerf ul. This Energy t hat
you are f ocusing is t he same Energy t hat creat es worlds. And it is, in t his very moment , creat ing your
world.
You have a built -in, easy-t o-underst and guidance syst em wit hin you, wit h indicat ors t hat help you
underst and t he st rengt h or power of your signal, as well as t he direct ion of your f ocus. And, most
import ant , it is t his very same guidance syst em t hat helps you underst and t he alignment of your chosen
t hought wit h t he Energy St ream it self .
Your f eelings are t he represent at ives of your guidance syst em. In ot her words, t he way you f eel is your
t rue indicat or of your alignment wit h your Source, and of your alignment wit h your own int ent ions—bot h
pre-birt h and current ly.

Your Powerful Beliefs Were Once Gentle Thoughts

Every t hought t hat has ever been t hought st ill exist s, and whenever you f ocus upon a t hought , you
act ivat e t he vibrat ion of t hat t hought wit hin you. So, what ever you are current ly giving your at t ent ion t o
is an act ivat ed t hought . But when you t urn your at t ent ion away f rom a t hought , it becomes dormant , or
no longer act ive. The only way t o consciously deact ivat e a t hought is t o act ivat e anot her. In ot her words,
t he only way t o deliberat ely wit hdraw your at t ent ion f rom one t hought is t o give your at t ent ion t o
anot her.
When you give your at t ent ion t o anyt hing, t he vibrat ion, at f irst , is not very st rong, but if you cont inue t o
t hink about it or speak about it , t he vibrat ion get s st ronger. So, wit h enough at t ent ion t o any subj ect , it
can become a dominant t hought . As you give more and more at t ent ion t o any t hought , and as you f ocus
upon it and t heref ore pract ice t he vibrat ion of it —t he t hought becomes an even bigger part of your
vibrat ion—and you could now call t his pract iced t hought a belief .

The Longer You Think Thoughts, the Stronger They Become

Because t he Law of At t ract ion is behind t he expansion of your t hought s, it is not possible t o give your
at t ent ion t o somet hing wit hout achieving an alignment wit h it t o some degree. And so, t he longer you
ponder t he t hought , and t he more f requent ly you ret urn t o t he t hought , t he st ronger your vibrat ional
alignment becomes.
As you achieve a st ronger alignment wit h any t hought , you t hen begin t o f eel emot ions t hat indicat e your
increased or decreased alignment wit h your own Source. In ot her words, as you give more of your
at t ent ion t o any subj ect , your emot ional reading of eit her harmony or disharmony wit h who you really are
becomes st ronger. If t he subj ect of your at t ent ion is in alignment wit h what t he Source of your Being
knows, you would f eel t he harmony of your t hought s in t he f orm of good f eelings. But if t he subj ect of
your at t ent ion is not in alignment wit h what your Source knows it t o be, you would f eel t he disharmony of
your t hought s in t he f orm of bad f eelings.

Your Attention to It Invites It In

Every t hought t hat you give your at t ent ion t o expands and becomes a bigger part of your vibrat ional mix.
Whet her it is a t hought of somet hing you want or a t hought of somet hing you do not want —your at t ent ion
t o it invit es it int o your experience.
Since t his is an at t ract ion-based Universe, t here is no such t hing as exclusion. Everyt hing is about
inclusion. So, when you see somet hing t hat you would like t o experience and you f ocus upon it , shout ing
yes t o it , you include it in your experience. But when you see somet hing t hat you would not want t o
experience, and you f ocus upon it , shout ing no at it , you also include t hat in your experience. You do not
invit e it in wit h your yes and exclude it wit h your no, because t here is no exclusion in t his at t ract ion-
based Universe. Your f ocus is t he invit at ion. Your at t ent ion t o it is t he invit at ion.
And so, t hose who are most ly observers t hrive in good t imes but suf f er in bad t imes because what t hey
are observing is already vibrat ing, and as t hey observe it , t hey include it in t heir vibrat ional count enance;
and as t hey include it , t he Universe accept s t hat as t heir point of at t ract ion—and gives t hem more of t he
essence of it . So, f or an observer, t he bet t er it get s, t he bet t er it get s; or t he worse it get s, t he worse it
get s. However, one who is a visionary t hrives in all t imes.
Wit h your pract iced at t ent ion t o any subj ect , t he Law of At t ract ion delivers circumst ances, condit ions,
experiences, ot her people, and all manner of t hings t hat mat ch your habit ual dominant vibrat ion. And as
t hings begin t o manif est around you t hat mat ch t he t hought s you have been holding, you now develop
st ronger and st ronger vibrat ional habit s or proclivit ies. And so, your once small and insignif icant t hought
has now evolved int o a powerf ul belief —and your powerf ul belief s will always be played out in your
experience.

The Hidden Value Behind Your Emotional Reactions

Your sense of sight is dif f erent f rom your sense of hear, and your sense of smell is dif f erent f rom your
sense of t ouch, but even t hough t hey are dif f erent , t hey are all vibrat ional int erpret at ions. In ot her
words, when you approach a hot st ove, your sense of sight does not necessarily t ell you t hat t he st ove is
hot ; your sense of hearing and your senses of t ast e or smell are not usually t he way you recognize a hot
st ove eit her. But as you approach t he st ove wit h your body, t he sensors in your skin let you know t hat t he
st ove is hot .
You were born wit h sensit ive, evolved, sophist icat ed t ranslat ors of vibrat ions t hat help you underst and
and def ine your experience. And in t he same way t hat you ut ilize your f ive physical senses t o int erpret
your physical lif e experience, you were born wit h ot her sensors—your emot ions—which are f urt her
vibrat ional int erpret ers t hat help you underst and, in t he moment , t he experiences t hat you are living.

Emotions Are Indicators of Your Point of Attraction

Your emot ions are your indicat ors of t he vibrat ional cont ent of your Being, in every moment . And so,
when you become aware of t he f eeling of your emot ions, you can also be aware of your vibrat ional
of f ering. And once you combine your knowledge of t he Law of At t ract ion wit h your in-t his-moment
awareness of what your vibrat ional of f ering is, t hen you will have f ull cont rol of your own powerf ul point
of at t ract ion. Wit h t his knowledge, you can now guide your lif e experience in any way you choose.
Your emot ions—simply, purely, and only—are about your relat ionship wit h your Source. And since your
emot ions t ell you everyt hing t hat you would ever want or need t o know about your relat ionship wit h your
Source, we of t en ref er t o your emot ions as your Emot ional Guidance Syst em.
When you made t he decision t o come f ort h int o t his physical body, you f ully underst ood your et ernal
connect ion t o Source Energy, and you knew t hat your emot ions would be const ant indicat ors t hat would
let you know, in every moment , your current relat ionship wit h Source Energy. And so, underst anding t he
powerf ul guidance t hat you have et ernal access t o, you f elt no sense of risk, no sense of conf usion—only a
sense of advent ure and t rue exhilarat ion.

Emotions Are Indicators of Your Alignment with Source Energy

Your emot ions indicat e t he degree of your alignment wit h Source. Alt hough you can never achieve such a
complet e misalignment wit h Source t hat you disconnect f rom it alt oget her, t he t hought s t hat you choose
t o give your at t ent ion t o do give you a subst ant ial range in alignment or misalignment wit h t he Non-
Physical Energy t hat is t ruly who you are. And so, wit h t ime and pract ice, you will come t o know, in every
moment , your degree of alignment wit h who you really are, f or when you are in f ull allowance of t he
Energy of your Source, you t hrive, and t o t he degree t hat you do not allow t his alignment , you do not
t hrive.
You are empowered Beings; you are ut t erly f ree t o creat e, and when you know t hat , and are f ocused
upon t hings t hat are in vibrat ional harmony wit h t hat , you f eel absolut e j oy. But when you t hink t hought s
t hat are cont rary t o t hat t rut h, you f eel t he opposit e emot ions of disempowerment and bondage. And all
emot ions f all somewhere wit hin t hat range, f rom j oy t o disempowerment .

Use Your Emotions to Feel Your Way Back to Well-Being

When you t hink a t hought t hat rings t rue wit h who you really are, you f eel harmony coursing t hrough your
physical body: Joy, love, and a sense of f reedom are examples of t hat alignment . And when you t hink
t hought s t hat do not ring t rue wit h who you really are, you f eel t he disharmony in your physical body.
Depression, f ear, and f eelings of bondage are examples of t hat misalignment .
In t he same way t hat sculpt ors mold clay int o t he creat ion t hat pleases t hem, you creat e by molding
Energy. You mold it t hrough your power of f ocus—by t hinking about t hings, remembering t hings, and
imagining t hings. You f ocus t he Energy when you speak, when you writ e, when you list en, when you are
silent , when you remember, and when you imagine—you f ocus it t hrough t he proj ect ion of t hought .
Like t he sculpt ors who, wit h t ime and pract ice, learn t o mold t he clay int o t he precise desired creat ion,
you can learn t o mold t he Energy t hat creat es worlds t hrough t he f ocus of your own mind. And, like t he
sculpt ors who, wit h t heir hands, f eel t heir way as t hey recreat e t heir vision—you will use your emot ions t o
f eel your way t o Well-Being.
 Chapter 10
The Three Steps to Whatever You Want to Be, Do, or Have

The Creat ive Process is concept ually a simple one. It consist s of j ust t hree st eps:
• St ep 1 (your work): You ask.
• St ep 2 (not your work): The answer is given.
• St ep 3 (your work): The answer, which has been given, must be received or allowed (you have t o let it
in).

Step 1: You Ask:

Because of t he wonderf ul and diverse environment in which you are f ocused, St ep 1 comes easily and
aut omat ically, f or t his is how your nat ural pref erences are born. Everyt hing—f rom your subt le or even
unconscious desires t o clear, precise, vivid ones— result s f rom t he cont rast ing experiences of your day-t o-
day lif e. Desires (or asking) are t he nat ural by-product of your exposure t o t his environment of f ant ast ic
variet y and cont rast . And so, St ep 1 comes nat urally.

Step 2: The Universe Answers:

St ep 2 is a simple st ep f or you, f or it is not your work at all. St ep 2 is t he work of t he Non-Physical, t he
work of t he GOD Force. All t hings t hat you ask f or, large and small, are immediat ely underst ood and f ully
of f ered, wit hout except ion. Every point of Consciousness has t he right and t he abilit y t o ask, and all
point s of Consciousness are honored and responded t o immediat ely. When you ask, it is given. Every t ime.
Your “ asking” is somet imes spoken wit h your words, but more of t en it emanat es f rom you vibrat ionally as
a const ant st ream of personally honed pref erences, each building on t he next , and each one respect ed
and answered.
Every quest ion is answered. Every desire is given. Every prayer is answered. Every wish is grant ed. But t he
reason t hat many would argue wit h t hat t rut h, holding up examples of unf ulf illed desires f rom t heir own
lif e experiences, is because t hey have not yet underst ood and complet ed t he very import ant St ep 3—f or
wit hout t he complet ion of t his st ep, t he exist ence of St eps 1 and 2 could go unnot iced.

Step 3: You Allow It In:

St ep 3 is t he applicat ion of t he Art of Allowing. It is really t he reason your guidance syst em exist s. It is t he
st ep whereby you t une t he vibrat ional f requency of your Being t o mat ch t he vibrat ional f requency of your
desire. In t he same way t hat your radio t uner must be set t o mat ch t he f requency of t he broadcast ing
st at ion you desire t o hear, t he vibrat ional f requency of your Being must mat ch t he f requency of your
desire. And we call t hat t he Art of Allowing—t hat is, allowing what you are asking f or. Unless you are in
t he receiving mode, your quest ions, even t hough t hey have been answered, will seem unanswered t o you;
your prayers will not seem t o be answered, and your desires will not be f ulf illed—not because your wishes
have not been heard, but because your vibrat ions are not a mat ch, so you are not let t ing t hem in.

Every Subj ect Is Two Subj ects: Wanted and Not Wanted

Every subj ect is really t wo subj ect s: There is t hat which you desire, and t he lack of it . Of t en—even when
you believe you are t hinking about somet hing t hat you desire—you are act ually t hinking about t he exact
opposit e of what you desire. In ot her words, “ I want t o be well; I don’ t want t o be sick. ” “ I want t o have
f inancial securit y; I don’ t want t o experience a short age of money. ” “ I want t he perf ect relat ionship t o
come t o me; I don’ t want t o be alone. ”
What you t hink and what you get is always a perf ect vibrat ional mat ch, so it can be very helpf ul t o make
a conscious correlat ion bet ween what you are t hinking and what is manif est ing in your lif e experience,
but it is even more helpf ul if you are able t o discern where you are headed even bef ore you get t here.
Once you underst and your emot ions and t he import ant messages t hey are giving you, you will not have t o
wait unt il somet hing has manif est ed in your experience t o underst and what your vibrat ional of f ering has
been—you can t ell, by t he way you f eel, exact ly where you are headed.

Your Attention Must Be on It, Not on the Lack of It

The Creat ive Process is occurring whet her you are consciously aware of it or not . Because of t he variet y
and cont rast of your experience, cont inual new pref erences are being born wit hin you, and you are, even
wit hout knowing it , broadcast ing t hem as request s. And in t he moment t hat you broadcast a pref erence,
Source Energy receives your vibrat ional request and, by t he Law of At t ract ion, of f ers immediat e
responses, which you must t hen align t o vibrat ionally.
The reason t hat you are not always aware t hat your desires have been answered is because t here is of t en
a t ime gap bet ween your asking (St ep 1) and your allowing (St ep 3). Even t hough a clear desire has
emanat ed f rom you as a result of t he cont rast you have considered, you of t en, rat her t han giving your
at t ent ion purely t o t he desire it self , f ocus back on t he cont rast ing sit uat ion t hat gave birt h t o t he desire.
And in doing so, your vibrat ion is more about t he reason you have launched t he desire t han it is about t he
desire it self .
For example, your aut omobile is get t ing older and is beginning t o require f requent repairs . . . and as you
begin t o not ice it s f ading beaut y, you f ind yourself desiring a new car. And as you very much want ed t hat
f eeling of conf idence t hat a dependable new car brings, a vibrat ional rocket of desire emanat ed f rom
you, and Source received it f ully and responded, in kind, immediat ely.
But because you were not consciously aware of t he Laws of t he Universe and t he Three-St ep Process of
Creat ion, t hat f resh, exhilarat ing f eeling was short -lived f or you. So, inst ead of immediat ely t urning your
at t ent ion t oward your f resh new desire and cont inuing t o ponder t he idea of t his delicious new vehicle
(t hus achieving vibrat ional harmony wit h your own new idea) you look back at t he vehicle you current ly
own, point ing out t he reasons t hat you desire t he new car. “ This old car no longer pleases me, ” you
conclude, not realizing t hat in looking at t he unpleasing car, you are t uning your vibrat ion back t o it , and
not f orward t o t he new car you desire. “ I really need a new car, ” you explain, point ing out t he dent s, t he
cracks, and t he undependable perf ormance of t he old one.
Wit h each st at ement of need and j ust if icat ion f or a new car, you unwit t ingly reinf orce t he vibrat ion of
your current unpleasant sit uat ion, and in doing so, you cont inue t o hold yourself out of vibrat ional
alignment wit h your new desire, and out of t he receiving mode of what you are asking f or.
As long as you are more aware of what you do not want regarding t his sit uat ion, what you do want cannot
come t o you. In ot her words, if you are predominant ly t hinking about your beaut if ul new car, t hen it is
st eadily making it s way t o you, but if you are pr edominant ly t hinking about your undependable current
car, your dependable new car cannot move t oward you.
It may seem dif f icult t o make t he dist inct ion bet ween act ually t hinking about your new car and beat ing
t he drum of t he old car, but once you are aware of your Emot ional Guidance Syst em, t his dist inct ion will
be very easy f or you t o make.

Now You Hold the Key to Creating Your Every Desire

Once you underst and t hat your t hought s equal your point of at t ract ion and t hat t he way you f eel indicat es
your level of allowing or resist ing, you now hold t he key t o creat ing anyt hing t hat you desire.
It is not possible f or you t o consist ent ly f eel posit ive emot ion about somet hing and have it t urn out badly,
j ust as it is not possible f or you t o consist ent ly f eel bad about somet hing and have it t urn out well—f or t he
way you f eel will t ell you if you are allowing your nat ural Well-Being or not .
Alt hough t here is no source of sickness, you may of f er t hought s t hat disallow t he nat ural f low of your
wellness j ust as you may of f er t hought s t hat disallow t he nat ural f low of your abundance, alt hough t here
is no source of povert y. Well-Being is const ant ly making it s way t o you, and if you have not learned
t hought s t hat slow it or rest rict it , you are experiencing it in all areas of your lif e.
It does not mat t er where you current ly st and in relat ionship t o anyt hing you desire. By paying at t ent ion t o
t he way you f eel, and by direct ing your t hought s t o bet t er-f eeling t hought s, you can again achieve
vibrat ional harmony wit h t he Well-Being t hat is nat ural t o you.
Remember, as ext ensions of pure, posit ive Non-Physical Energy, t he more in vibrat ional harmony you are
wit h You, t he bet t er you f eel. For example, when you are appreciat ing somet hing, you are a vibrat ional
mat ch t o who you really are. When you love someone, or yourself , you are a vibrat ional mat ch t o who you
really are. But if you are f inding f ault wit h yourself or anot her, you are, in t hat moment , of f ering a
vibrat ion t hat does not mat ch who you really are, and t he negat ive emot ion you f eel is your indicat or t hat
you have int roduced a vibrat ion of resist ance and t hat you are no longer in t he st at e of allowing your pure
Connect ion bet ween t he physical you and t he Non-Physical part of You.
We of t en ref er t o t hat Non-Physical part of You as your Inner Being, or your Source. It is not import ant
what you call t hat Source of Energy, or Lif e Force, but it is import ant t hat you are consciously aware of
when you are allowing a f ull connect ion t o it and when you are rest rict ing it in some way—and your
emot ions are your const ant indicat ors of your degree of allowing or resist ing t hat connect ion.

With Practice, You Will Become a Joyous, Deliberate Creator

As you consciously consider t he way you f eel, you will get bet t er and bet t er at direct ing t he Source
Energy, and you become a disciplined and j oyous deliberat e creat or, wit h pract ice you will be able t o
achieve a f ocused cont rol of t his Creat ive Energy, and, like t he skilled sculpt or, you will t ake delight in
t he molding of t his Energy, which creat es worlds, and direct it t oward your individual creat ive endeavors.
As you f ocus Creat ive Energy, t here are t wo f act ors t o consider: f irst , t he int ensit y and speed of t he
Energy; and second, your level of allowing or resist ing it . The f irst f act or has t o do wit h t he amount of
t ime you have spent considering your desire, and t o what degree you have become specif ic. In ot her
words, when you have been want ing somet hing f or a long t ime, your summoning power is much great er
t han if you are t hinking about it f or t he f irst t ime t oday. Also, whenever you have considered it f or some
t ime, having experienced cont rast t hat helped you t o become even more specif ic about it , your desire
summons it in an even more powerf ul way. Once a desire has achieved t hat sort of power or speed, it is
quit e easy f or you t o f eel how you are doing wit h t he second f act or: t he allowing or resist ing part of t he
equat ion.
When you are t hinking about somet hing t hat you have been want ing f or a very long t ime, and, in t his
moment , you are not icing t hat it has not yet happened, a st rong negat ive emot ion would be present
wit hin you, f or you are t hinking about somet hing t hat has very st rong energy t hat you are not in
vibrat ional alignment wit h. However, if you are t hinking about somet hing t hat you have been want ing f or
a long t ime and you are imagining t hat it is happening, t hen your emot ion would be one of ant icipat ion or
eagerness.
And so, you can t ell by t he way you f eel whet her, in t his moment , you are a mat ch t o your desire or a
mat ch t o it s absence; whet her you are allowing or resist ing your desire, or whet her you are, in t his
moment , helping or hindering.

It Is Not about Controlling Thoughts, It Is about Guiding Thoughts

In your highly t echnologically evolved societ y where you have immediat e access t o almost everyt hing t hat
is happening around your planet , you are bombarded wit h t hought s and ideas t hat , at t imes, f eel invasive
t o your personal experience. And so, t he idea of cont rolling your t hought s when t here are so many ot her
t hought s coming f ort h seems impossible. It seems, inst ead, rat her normal t o j ust give your at t ent ion t o
what ever is in f ront of you.
We are not encouraging you t o make an ef f ort t o cont rol your t hought s, but inst ead, t o make an ef f ort t o,
more or less, guide your t hought s. And it is not even so much about guiding your t hought s as it is about
reaching f or a f eeling, because reaching f or t he way you would like t o f eel is an easier way t o hold your
t hought s in vibrat ional alignment wit h t hat which you believe is good.
The Law of At t ract ion is already magnet ically at t ract ing and organizing your t hought s, so having an
underst anding of , and deliberat ely working wit h t he Law of At t ract ion is ext remely helpf ul in an ef f ort at
guiding your own t hought s.
Remember, whenever you give your at t ent ion t o a t hought , t hat t hought immediat ely becomes act ivat ed
wit hin you, so t he Law of At t ract ion immediat ely responds, which means t hat ot her t hought s, in
vibrat ional harmony wit h t he t hought t hat you have j ust act ivat ed, now j oin your act ivat ed t hought ,
making it a more pronounced, more powerf ul, and more at t ract ive t hought . And as you cont inue your
f ocus, and as your t hought expands, t hat more powerf ul t hought t hat you have j ust act ivat ed is j oined by
ot hers like it . . . and on it goes.

When Your Practiced Thought Becomes a Dominant Thought

Whenever you have consist ent ly f ocused upon a subj ect , causing a consist ent vibrat ional act ivat ion of it
wit hin you, it becomes a pract iced or dominant t hought . And once t hat happens, t hings t hat mat ch it will
begin t o manif est around your dominant t hought . In t he same way t hat your earlier t hought was j oined by
ot her t hought s t hat mat ched it —now t hings t hat mat ch your dominant t hought will begin t o show up in
your experience: magazine art icles, conversat ions wit h f riends, personal observat ions. . . t he at t ract ion
process will become very apparent . Once your f ocused at t ent ion has suf f icient ly act ivat ed a dominant
vibrat ion wit hin you, t hings—want ed or unwant ed—will begin t o make t heir way int o your personal
experience. It is Law.
 How to Effectively Become a Deliberate Creator

Remember, bef ore you can ef f ect ively benef it f rom paying at t ent ion t o your emot ions, you must f irst
accept t hat Well-Being is t he only St ream t hat f lows. You can allow or disallow t his St ream, but when you
allow it , you are well; and when you disallow it , you are sick. In ot her words, t here is only a St ream of
wellness, which you are allowing or resist ing, and you can t ell by t he way you f eel which you are doing.
You are supposed t o t hrive. You are supposed t o f eel good. You are good. You are loved, and Well-Being is
const ant ly f lowing t o you, and if you will allow it , it will manif est in all manner of ways in your
experience.
What ever you are giving your at t ent ion t o is already pulsing an Energy vibrat ion. And as you hold your
at t ent ion upon it , you begin t o vibrat e as it is vibrat ing. Each t ime you f ocus upon it , and each t ime you
of f er t he vibrat ion, it f eels easier f or you t o do it t he next t ime, unt il, in t ime, you develop a sort of
vibrat ional proclivit y. It is like pract icing anyt hing; it can get easier and easier. And wit h enough f ocusing
on t his t hought , and t heref ore pract icing t his vibrat ion, you f orm what you call a belief .
A belief is only a pract iced vibrat ion. In ot her words, once you have pract iced a t hought long enough,
t hen anyt ime you approach t he subj ect of t hat t hought , t he Law of At t ract ion will t ake you easily int o t he
f ull vibrat ion of your belief . So now, t he Law of At t ract ion accept s t hat belief as your point of at t ract ion,
and brings t o you t hings t hat mat ch t hat vibrat ion. And so, as you have lif e experience t hat mat ches t hose
t hought s you were pondering, you conclude, “ Yes, t his is t rut h. ” And while it may be accurat e t o call it
“ t rut h, ” we would pref er t o call it at t ract ion, or creat ion.
Anyt hing t hat you give your at t ent ion t o will become your “ t rut h. ” The Law of At t ract ion says t hat it
must . Your lif e, and everyone else’ s, t oo, is but a ref lect ion of t he predominance of your t hought s. There
is no except ion t o t his.

Have You Made a Decision to Direct Your Thoughts?

To be t he deliberat e creat or of your own experience, you will be one who has decided t o direct your
t hought s, f or only when you deliberat ely choose t he di rect ion of your t hought s can you deliberat ely af f ect
your own point of at t ract ion.
You cannot cont inue t o discuss, observe, and believe t hings in t he same way you always have and make
changes in your point of at t ract ion, any more (as we ment ioned previously) t han you can set your radio
dial t o 630AM and receive t he broadcast f rom 101FM. Your vibrat ional f requencies have t o mat ch.
Every emot ion t hat you f eel is about your alignment or misalignment wit h t he Energy of your Source. Your
emot ions are your indicat ors of t he vibrat ional variance bet ween your physical Being and your Inner
Being, and when you pay at t ent ion t o t hese emot ions and t ry t o f ocus on good-f eeling t hought s, you are
t hen using your Emot ional Guidance Syst em in t he way t hat you int ended when you decided t o come int o
t his physical body.
Your Emot ional Guidance Syst em is t he key t o helping you underst and what your vibrat ional cont ent is and
t heref ore exact ly what your current point of at t ract ion is. Dist inguishing bet ween t he act ual t hought of
what you want , compared t o t he t hought of it s absence, is somet imes dif f icult . But dist inguishing
bet ween your emot ional response t o your t hought of your desire, and your emot ional response t o your
t hought of t he absence of your desire, is a very easy t hing t o do. Because, t hen you are f ully f ocused upon
your desire (and your vibrat ional of f ering purely ref lect s t hat ), you f eel wonderf ul. And when you f ocus
upon t he absence of somet hing t hat you t ruly want , you f eel awf ul. Your emot ions always let you know
what you are doing wit h your vibrat ion; your emot ions always let you know exact ly what your point of
at t ract ion is; and so, by paying at t ent ion t o your emot ions and by deliberat ely of f ering t hought s t hat
af f ect t he way you f eel, you can consciously guide yourself int o t he vibrat ional f requency t hat will allow
t he f ulf illment of any desire you hold.

Can You Accept Yourself As a Vibrational Being?

Most of our physical f riends are unaccust omed t o viewing t heir lives in t erms of vibrat ions, and t hey are
cert ainly not accust omed t o t hinking of t hemselves as radio t ransmit t ers and receivers—but you do live in
a Vibrat ional Universe, and you are more Energy, Vibrat ion, or Elect ricit y t han you realize. Once you
allow t his new orient at ion and begin t o accept yourself as a Vibrat ional Being who at t ract s all t he t hings
t hat come int o your experience, t hen you will begin t he delicious j ourney int o Deliberat e Creat ion. Once
you begin t o underst and t he correlat ion bet ween what you are t hinking, what you are f eeling, and what
you are receiving, now you have it . Now you hold all t he keys t hat are necessary t o get f rom wherever you
are t o wherever you want t o be, on all subj ect s.
 Chapter 12
Your Emotional Set-Points Are Within Your Control

Most people do not believe t hey have cont rol over what t hey believe. They observe t hings happening
around t hem and evaluat e t hem, but t hey usually f eel t hat t hey have no cont rol what soever about t he
belief t hat is f ormulat ing wit hin t hem. They spend t heir lives sort ing event s int o cat egories of good or
bad, want ed or unwant ed, right or wrong—but rarely do t hey underst and t hat t hey have t he abilit y t o
cont rol t heir personal relat ionship wit h t hese event s.

It Is Impossible to Control Conditions That Others Have Created

Since many people approve of some of t he condit ions t hat ot hers have creat ed but disapprove of ot hers,
t hey set out on t he impossible mission of t rying t o cont rol condit ions. Through personal f orce or st rengt h,
or gat hering t oget her in groups t o gain t he f eeling of more power or cont rol, t hey seek t o preserve t heir
own Well-Being by at t empt ing t o t ake cont rol of any circumst ances t hat t hey believe could t hreat en it .
But , in t his at t ract ion-based Universe where t here is no such t hing as exclusion, t he harder t hey push
against unwant ed t hings, t he more t hey achieve vibrat ional alignment wit h unwant ed t hings—and in doing
so, t he more t hey invit e unwant ed t hings int o t heir own experience. And as more unwant ed t hings now
manif est in t heir experience, t hey shore up t heir own belief (t hey “ prove it ” t o t hemselves) t hat t hey
were right all along about how bad and invasive t hat unwant ed t hing was t o begin wit h. In ot her words,
t he more you def end your own belief s, t he more t he Law of At t ract ion helps you live t hem out .

“ But Whose ‘ Truth’ Is the True TRUTH?”

Wit h enough at t ent ion t o anyt hing, t he essence of what you have been giving t hought t o will event ually
become a physical manif est at ion. And t hen as ot hers observe your physical manif est at ion, t hrough t heir
at t ent ion t o it , t hey help it t o expand. And t hen, in t ime, t his manif est at ion, whet her it is one t hat is
want ed or not , is called “ Trut h. ”
We want you t o remember t hat you have absolut e choices about t he “ Trut hs” t hat you creat e in your own
experience. Once you underst and t hat t he only reason anyone ever experiences anyt hing is because of
t heir at t ent ion t o t he subj ect , t hen it is easy t o see t hat “ Trut h” only exist s because someone gave t heir
at t ent ion t o it . So when you say, “ I should give my at t ent ion t o such and such, because it is t rue, ” t hat is
t he same t hing as saying, “ Anot her gave t heir at t ent ion t o somet hing t hat t hey did not want , and by t heir
at t ent ion t o it t hey have invit ed it int o t heir experience. And since t hey have at t ract ed somet hing
unwant ed int o t heir experience, I should do it , also. ”
There are many wonderf ul t hings t hat you are making your Trut hs, and t here are many not -so-wonderf ul
t hings t hat you are making your Trut hs—Deliberat e Creat ion is about deliberat ely choosing t hose
experiences you make your Trut hs.

Your Point of Attraction Is Being Affected

When your act ivat ed t hought s are general and not very f ocused, t hose early vibrat ions are st ill very small
and do not yet have much at t ract ion power or pulling power, so t o speak. And so, in t hese early st ages,
you would not likely see any manif est ed evidence of your at t ent ion t o t he subj ect . But even t hough you
do not yet see t he evidence, t he at t ract ion of ot her t hought s t hat are a vibrat ional mat ch t o t hese is
occurring. In ot her words, t he t hought is becoming st ronger; it s pulling power is get t ing st ronger, and
ot her similar t hought vibrat ions are j oining it . And, as t he t hought gains moment um, you now begin t o get
an emot ional reading on how well t his growing t hought -vibrat ion is mat ching t he Energy of your Source. If
it mat ches who you are, your good-f eeling emot ions indicat e t hat . If it does not mat ch who you are, your
bad-f eeling emot ions indicat e t hat .
For example, when you were lit t le, your grandmot her may have said t o you, “ You are such a wonderf ul
child. I love you so very much. You will have a f ulf illing and happy lif e. You have so many t alent s, and t he
world will benef it by your presence. ” These words f elt good because t hey were a vibrat ional mat ch t o
what was at t he very core of you. But when someone says t o you, “ You are bad. You should be ashamed
of yourself . You have displeased me. You are inappropriat e, ” t hese words f eel awf ul because your
at t ent ion t o t hem has caused you t o become vibrat ionally dif f erent f rom who you really are and what you
really know.
The way you f eel is a clear and accurat e indicat ion of your alignment , or misalignment , wit h your Source
Energy. In ot her words, your emot ions let you know if you are allowing, or if you are in a current st at e of
resist ance t o, your connect ion wit h Source.

Moods As Indicators of Your Emotional Set-Points

When you cont inue t o f ocus upon any t hought , it becomes increasingly easy t o cont inue t o f ocus upon it
because t he Law of At t ract ion is making more t hought s like it available t o you. And so, emot ionally
speaking, you are developing a mood or an at t it ude. Vibrat ionally speaking, you are achieving a habit ual
vibrat ional groove, so t o speak—or a set -point .
Your mood is showing you a good represent at ion of what you are invit ing int o your experience. Your
mood, or your general f eeling about somet hing, is a clear indicat ion of your pract iced vibrat ion. In ot her
words, whenever any subj ect is act ivat ed wit hin you t hrough your exposure t o your environment , your
vibrat ion j umps immediat ely t o your most pract iced vibrat ional place, or set -point .
For example, let us say t hat when you were a child, your parent s experienced severe f inancial dif f icult y.
And so, t he lack of money and t he inabilit y t o purchase desired t hings was of t en discussed in your home,
wit h t he accompanying emot ions of worry and f ear. Of t en, in response t o your request f or somet hing, you
were t old t hat “ money doesn’ t grow on t rees, ” and t hat “ j ust because you want it doesn’ t mean you’ ll
get it , ” and t hat “ you, like everyone else in t his f amil y, should learn t o do wit hout . That is j ust t he way
t hat it is. . . “ Because of years of exposure t o t hese t hought s of “ lack, ” your habit of t hought around t he
subj ect of money—your Emot ional Set -Point — became one of low expect at ion of f inancial success. And so,
whenever you t hought about money or abundance, your mood or at t it ude would immediat ely shif t t o
disappoint ment , worry, or anger.
Or, when you were a child, maybe your f riend’ s mot her was killed in an aut omobile accident , and t hen
your close associat ion wit h someone who was experiencing such severe childhood t rauma made you
f earf ul f or t he Well-Being of your own parent s. Whenever t hey t raveled somewhere by aut omobile, you
would be gripped by f ear unt il t hey ret urned. And so, bit by bit , you developed a habit of worry about t he
Well-Being of t hose you loved. Your Emot ional Set -Point became t hat of insecurit y.
Or, when you were a t eenager, perhaps your grandmot her suddenly died of a heart at t ack. And in t he
years t hat f ollowed her deat h, you of t en heard your mot her expressing her concern about t he high
probabilit y of t he same t hing happening t o her and her children (including you! ). Nearly every t ime any
conversat ion about your grandmot her came up, her unt imely heart at t ack became an emot ional—and
f ear-producing—part of t he conversat ion. Even t hough your body was st rong and you cont inued t o f eel
physically good, a concern about your own physical vulnerabilit y rumbled under t he surf ace. And so, over
t ime, you achieved an Emot ional Set -Point of physical vulnerabilit y.

Your Emotional Set-Points Can Be Changed

In t he same way t hat your Emot ional Set -Point s can change f rom cicling basically good or secure t o f eeling
bad or insecure, your set -point s can change f rom not f eeling good t o f eeling good, f or your Hi-point s are
achieved simply by at t ent ion t o a subj ect , and t hrough your pract iced t hought .
However, most people do not deliberat ely of f er t hought , but inst ead, t hey let t heir t hought s gravit at e t o
what ever is happening around t hem: Somet hing happens. They observe. They have an emot ional f eeling
response t o what t hey are observing. And since t hey usually f eel powerless in cont rolling what t hey are
observing, t hey conclude t hat t hey have no cont rol over t heir emot ional response t o what t hey are
observing.
We want you t o underst and t hat you do have absolut e cont rol over t he set -point s t hat you achieve. And
we want you t o underst and t he ext rane value in deli berat ely achieving your own set -point s. Because,
once you expect somet hing, it will come. The det ails of it may play out dif f erent ly—but t he vibrat ional
essence will always be an exact mat ch.
 Chapter 13
Allow Your Feelings to Be Your Guide

Anot her import ant premise t hat is valuable t o remember is t hat you are a physical ext ension of Source
Energy, and t hat an et ernal St ream of Source Energy f lows t o you and t hrough you—and t hat it is you. This
St ream f lowed bef ore t he physical Being t hat you know as you was born, and it will cont inue t o f low once
t he physical Being t hat you know as you experiences what you call “ deat h. ”
Every living t hing, animal, human, or plant , experiences t hat which is called deat h, wit h no except ion.
Spirit , which is who we leally are, is et ernal. So what deat h must be is but a changing of t he perspect ive
of t hat et ernal Spirit . If you are st anding in your physical body and consciously connect ed t o t hat Spirit ,
t hen you are et ernal in nat ure and you need never f ear any “ endedness, ” because, f rom t hat perspect ive,
t here is none. (You will never cease t o be, f or you are et ernal Consciousness. )
Your emot ions let you know how much Source Energy you are summoning in t his moment by virt ue of t he
desire you hold in t his moment . They also let you know whet her your preponderance of t hought on t he
subj ect mat ches your desire, or mat ches t he absence of your desire. For example, a f eeling of passion or
ent husiasm indicat es t hat t here is a very st rong desire f ocused in t he moment ; a f eeling of rage or
revenge also indicat es t hat t here is a very st rong desire; however, a f eeling of let hargy or boredom
indicat es very lit t le f ocused desire in t he moment .
When you really, really want somet hing, and you are t hinking about your desire and f eeling pleasure f rom
t he t hought , your t hought vibrat ion is now in alignment wit h your desire—and t he current f rom your
Source is f lowing t hrough you t oward your int ended desire wit h no rest rict ion or resist ance. We call t hat :
allowing. But when you really, really want somet hing and are f eeling anger or f ear or disappoint ment ,
t hat means you are f ocused upon t he opposit e of your desire, and in doing so, you are int roducing anot her
non-mat ching vibrat ion t o t he mix—and t he degree of negat ive emot ion t hat you are now experiencing
indicat es t he degree of your resist ance t o your receiving of your desire.

Learn to Pay Attention to Your Feelings

When emot ions are st rong—whet her t hey f eel good or f eel bad—your desire is st rong. When emot ions are
weak, your desire is not so st rong.
When emot ions f eel good—whet her t hey are st rong or weak— you are allowing t he f ulf illment of your
desire.
When emot ions f eel bad—whet her t hey are st rong or weak— you are in t he st at e of disallowing t he
f ulf illment of your desire.
Your emot ions are absolut e indicat ors of your vibrat ional cont ent . Theref ore, t hey are t he perf ect
ref lect ion of your current point of at t ract ion. They help you know, in any moment , whet her or not you
are current ly allowing t he f ulf illment of your desire.
You may believe t hat you cannot cont rol your emot ions, or you may believe t hat you should cont rol your
emot ions, but we would like you t o approach your emot ions in a dif f erent way: It is our encouragement
t hat you pay at t ent ion t o how you f eel and allow your emot ions t o be t he valuable indicat ors t hey are.

An Empty Feeling Is Telling You Something Important

When t he f uel gauge on your vehicle indicat es t hat t he t ank is empt y, you do not crit icize t he indicat or.
You receive t he inf ormat ion t hat it has of f ered you, and you do somet hing about adding more f uel t o your
t ank. Similarly, a negat ive f eeling is an indicat or t hat your current choice of t hought s has you of f ering a
vibrat ion t hat is so out of harmony wit h your Source Energy t hat you are current ly disallowing your f ull
connect ion t o t hat Energy St ream. (You could say your t ank is approaching empt y. )
Your emot ions do not creat e, but t hey do indicat e what you are current ly at t ract ing. If your emot ions are
helping you know t hat our choice of t hought s is not t aking you in t he direct ion t hat you desire t o go, t hen
do somet hing about t hat : Replenish your connect ion by choosing bet t er-f eeling t hought s.
 “ Follow Your Bliss” Is a Positive Thought, Is It Not?

As we’ ve t ouched on previously, much has been writ t en about t he power of posit ive t hought , and we are
cert ainly proponent s of t hat . No bet t er guidance has ever been of f ered t o our physical f riends t han t he
words “ Follow your bliss, ” f or in t he st eady reaching f or bliss, you must surely align wit h t he Energy of
your Source. And in t hat const ant alignment , your Well-Being is cert ain. But when you f ind yourself
engulf ed in circumst ances t hat cause you t o of f er a vibrat ion t hat is f ar f rom t hat of bliss, t hen reaching
f or bliss is an impossible t hing, f or t he Law of At t ract ion does not allow you t o make t hat vibrat ional j ump
any more t han you could have t uned your radio receiver t o 101FM and heard a song t hat was being played
on 630 AM.

You Have the Ability to Direct Your Own Thoughts

You have t he abilit y t o direct your own t hought s; you have t he opt ion of observing t hings as t hey are, or
of imagining t hem as you want t hem t o be—and whichever opt ion you choose, whet her you are imagining
or observing, is equally powerf ul. You have t he opt ion of remembering somet hing as it act ually occurred
or imagining it as you would pref er. You have t he opt ion of remembering somet hing t hat pleased you or
remembering somet hing t hat did not please you. You have t he opt ion of ant icipat ing somet hing you want
or ant icipat ing somet hing you do not want . In every case, your t hought s produce a vibrat ion wit hin you
t hat equals your point of at t ract ion, and t hen circumst ances and event s line up t o mat ch t he vibrat ions
t hat you have of f ered.
You have t he abilit y t o place your at t ent ion wherever you decide, so it is possible t o dist ract yourself
f rom somet hing unwant ed and put your at t ent ion upon somet hing want ed. But when a vibrat ion wit hin
you is one you have pract iced a great deal, t he t endency is t o cont inue t o of f er t he vibrat ion in t he way
you have been pract icing it —no mat t er how much you wish it t o be dif f erent .
It is not a dif f icult t hing t o change t he pat t ern of your vibrat ion, especially when you underst and t hat you
can do it a lit t le bit at a t ime. Once you have an underst anding of how vibrat ions work, how t hey af f ect
your experience, and, most import ant , what your emot ions are t elling you about your vibrat ions, now you
can make st eady, f ast progress t oward t he achievement of anyt hing t hat you desire.

If We Were Standing in Your Physical Shoes

It is not your j ob t o make somet hing happen—Universal Forces are in place f or all of t hat . Your work is t o
simply det ermine what you want . You cannot cease your const ant list of pref erences, so your lif e
experience helps you det ermine, at bot h conscious and unconscious levels, what you pref er, and how lif e,
f rom your personal and import ant perspect ive, could now be bet t er—and every conscious or unconscious
of f ering (or asking) f rom you is answered by Source.
When you have lived an experience t hat helps you underst and, in an exaggerat ed way, t he very t hing you
do not want , you also underst and, in an exaggerat ed way, what you do want . But when you are painf ully
aware of what you do not want , you are not in al ignment wit h what you do want . When you desire
somet hing t hat you do not believe is possible, you are not in alignment . When t here is somet hing t hat you
want and you are f eeling unhappy t hat you do not have it , you are not in alignment ; when you see
someone who current ly has t he very t hing t hat you desire and you f eel j ealous, you are not in alignment .
If we were st anding in your physical shoes, our at t ent ion would be upon bringing ourselves int o alignment
wit h t he desires and pref erences t hat we have launched—we would consciously f eel our way int o
alignment .

Your Natural Desires Cannot Be Held Back

All of your desires, want s, or pref erences emanat e f rom you nat urally and const ant ly, f or you st and at t he
Leading Edge of a Universe t hat makes t hat so. So, you cannot hold your desires back; t he et ernal nat ure
of t his Universe insist s t hat your desires come f ort h.
This is t he simple basis of t his et ernally expanding Universe:
• Variet y causes cont emplat ion.
• Cont emplat ion produces pref erence.
• Pref erence is asking.
• Asking is always answered.

Regarding your creat ion of your own lif e experience, t here really is only one import ant quest ion f or you t o
ask: How can I bring myself int o vibrat ional alignment wit h t he desires t hat my experience has produced?
And t he answer is simple: Pay at t ent ion t o t he way you f eel, and deliberat ely choose t hought s—about
everyt hing—t hat f eel good t o you when you t hink t hem.

Some Things You Knew Before You Arrived

This is helpf ul t o remember t hat you are creat ors who have come int o t his Leading-Edge t ime-space-
realit y t o experience t he j oy of direct ing Source Energy int o t he specif ics of your physical lif e experience.
As you made t he decision t o come int o t his body, you knew t hat you were a creat or and t hat t he Eart h
environment would inspire your specif ic creat ion. You also knew t hat whenever you asked, it would be
given. And you were t hrilled at t he prospect of being inspired t o at t ain your own specif ic desires,
underst anding t hat Source would f low t hrough you t o achieve t he complet ion of t hose desires.
You also knew t he f ollowing:
• By always reaching f or t he f eeling of j oy, or Well -Being, you would always be moving t oward t hat which
you desire.
• In t he process of moving t oward your desires, you would experience j oy.

In t his Eart h-plane environment , you would have suf f icient f reeway t o mold your vibrat ion int o a pleasing
posit ion f or t he at t ract ion of a wonderf ul lif e experience.
Since Well-Being is t he basis of t his wonderf ul Universe, you would have suf f icient opport unit y—t hrough a
cont inual of f ering of t hought —t o mold your own t hought s int o pleasing lif e experiences.
Well-Being abounds, so you f elt no risk or concern about t he cont rast ing environment int o which you were
moving.
Variet y would help you choose your specif ic lif e.
Your work was t o direct your t hought s, and t hat in doing so, your lif e would unf old.
You are an et ernal ext ension of Source Energy, and t hat t he basis of t hat which you are is good.
You would be able t o easily allow t he Well-Being of your origin, and of your Source, t o st eadily f low
t hrough you.
You could never get f ar f rom your Source, and t hat you could never complet ely pinch yourself of f f rom it .
You would experience immediat e emot ions t o help you underst and t he direct ion of your t hought , and t hat
your emot ions would inst ant ly t ell you if you were, in any moment , moving t oward or away f rom what you
desired.
You would know, by t he way you were f eeling, moment by moment , how much you were allowing your
connect ion t o your St ream of Well-Being. And so, you came f ort h int o t his Eart h experience wit h eager
ant icipat ion of a wonderf ul lif e.
And you also knew t hat t here would not be an immediat e manif est at ion of any t hought , so t hat you would
have ample opport unit y t o mold, evaluat e, decide, and enj oy t he Creat ive Process.
We ref er t o t hat t ime bet ween your of f ering of a t hought and it s physical manif est at ion as “ t he buf f er of
t ime. ” This is t hat wonderf ul t ime of of f ering t hought , not icing how it f eels, adj ust ing t he t hought t o
achieve mi even bet t er f eeling, and t hen, in an at t it ude of absolut e expect at ion, enj oying t he gent le,
st eady unf olding of anyt hing and everyt hing t hat you have concluded as your desires.

“ If I Know So Much, How Come I’ m Not Successful?”

There is never a reason f or you t o be wit hout somet hing t hat you desire. Nor is t here ever a reason f or
you t o experience somet hing t hat you do not desire—f or you hold absolut e cont rol of your experiences.
Somet imes our physical f riends disagree wit h t hat powerf ul st at ement , f or t hey of t en f ind t hemselves
wit hout somet hing t hat t hey desire, or wit h somet hing t hat t hey do not desire. And so, t hey argue t hat
t hey must not really be t he creat or of t heir own experience, f or t hey would not have done t hat t o
t hemselves; if t hey were really in cont rol, t hings would be dif f erent .
We want you t o know t hat you always hold t he power and cont rol of your own lif e experience. The only
reason t hat you could ever experience somet hing ot her t han what you desire is because you are giving t he
maj orit y of your at t ent ion t o somet hing ot her t han what you desire.

“ Can I Really Count on the Law of Attraction?”

The Law of At t ract ion always yields t o you t he essence of t he balance of your t hought s. No except ions.
You get what you t hink about —whet her you want it or not . And in t ime, wit h pract ice, you will come t o
remember t hat t he Law of At t ract ion is always consist ent . It never t ricks you. It never deceives you. It
never conf uses you, f or t he Law of At t ract ion responds precisely t o t he vibrat ion t hat you are of f ering.
But t he conf usion, f or many, comes because t hey are of f ering vibrat ions t hat t hey do not realize t hey are
of f ering. They know t hat t hey hold a desire in a specif ic direct ion, and t hey know t hat t heir desire has
not yet come t o t hem, but what t hey of t en do not real ize is t hat t hey are of f ering t he maj orit y of t heir
t hought s in opposit ion t o t heir own desire.
Once you underst and your own Emot ional Guidance Syst em, you will never again of f er your vibrat ions in
ignorance. And in t ime, you will achieve such keen awareness of your own valuable emot ions t hat you will
know, in every moment , if t he t hought t hat you are current ly f ocusing on is t aking you t oward, or away
f rom, somet hing you desire. You will learn t o lit erally f eel your way t o t he t hings t hat you desire, on all
subj ect s.
The basis of your world is one of Well-Being. You can allow it or not , but t he basis is Well-Being. The Law
of At t ract ion says: That which is like unt o it self , is drawn. And so, t he essence of what ever you give your
at t ent ion t o is unf olding in your experience. Theref ore, t here is not hing t hat you cannot be, do, or have.
This is Law.

“ But I Can’ t Get to San Diego from Phoenix!”

So if all of t his is t rue (and it is our absolut e promise t o you t hat it is t rue), t hen how is it t hat so many
are experiencing so much of what t hey do not want ?
Consider t his quest ion: If I am in Phoenix, Arizona, and it is my desire t o be in San Diego, Calif ornia, how
would I go about get t ing t o San Diego? The answer t o t his quest ion is easy t o hear: No mat t er what your
mode of t ransport at ion—by air, by car, or even on f oot —if you will f ace in t he direct ion of San Diego, and
cont inue t o move in t he direct ion of San Diego, t hen you must reach San Diego.
If you head t oward San Diego, but t hen you lose your sense of direct ion and you head back t oward
Phoenix, and t hen you get t urned back around agai n and you head t oward San Diego, and t hen you get
conf used again and you head back t oward Phoenix. . . you could pot ent ially spend t he rest of your lif e
experience j ust moving back and f ort h, and you could, conceivably, never arrive in San Diego. But
because of your knowledge of direct ion, and wit h t he help of road signs and ot her t ravelers, it is not
logical t hat you would remain f orever lost in t he Arizona desert unable t o f ind your way t o San Diego. The
400-mile t rip bet ween t he t wo cit ies is easily underst ood, and t he idea of making t he t rip is complet ely
believable, and if it were your desire t o make t he t rip, you would f ind a way t o do so.
We want you t o underst and t hat t he t rip bet ween wherever you are, on any subj ect , and where you
desire t o be, is as easily at t ainable as t he t rip f rom Phoenix t o San Diego—once you underst and how t o
discern where you are along t he way.
For example, t he t hing t hat makes it seem more dif f icult t o t ravel f rom f inancial insolvency t o f inancial
abundance is t hat you have not been aware when you were t urned around and headed in t he opposit e
direct ion. And, t he only reason t hat your t rip has not t aken you f rom no relat ionship t o t he perf ect ,
f ulf illing, rewarding relat ionship you desire is t hat you have not been aware of t he power of your t hought s
and words t hat were t aking you back t o Phoenix. You clearly underst and all of t he f act ors involved in
t ransport ing yourself f rom Phoenix t o San Diego, but you have not underst ood t he f act ors involved in
t ransport ing yourself f rom sickness int o f abulous healt h, f rom t he absence of t he relat ionship you have
want ed t o t he f ulf illment of t his wonderf ul relat ionship, or f rom barely scraping by f inancially t o having
t he f reedom t o do t he t hings you really want t o do.
Once you underst and t he clarit y t hat your emot ions provide, you will never again not know what you are
doing wit h your current t hought . You will always be aware of whet her you are, in t his moment , moving
t oward or away f rom your int ended goal or desire. Your awareness of t he way you f eel will give you t he
clarit y you have been seeking—and you will never be lost in t he desert again. Once you have t he
knowledge t hat you are moving in t he direct ion of your desires, you may begin t o relax a lit t le bit and
enj oy t he f ant ast ic j ourney.
 Chapter 15
You Are a Perfect Yet Expanding Being, in a Perfect Yet Expanding World, in a
Perfect Yet Expanding Universe

It is import ant t hat you know t hese t hings:

• You are a physical ext ension of Source Energy.
• The physical world you live in providesa perf ect environment in which t o creat e.
• The variet y t hat exist s helps you f ocus your own personal desires or pref erences.
• When a desire is f ocused wit hin you, t he summoning of Creat ive Lif e Force immediat ely begins t o f low
t oward your desire—and t he Universe expands. And t hat is good.
• Your conscious realizat ion of t he Creat ive Process is not necessary in order f or it t o cont inue.
• The Leading-Edge environment t hat you are physically f ocused in will cont inue t o st imulat e new desires
in all who part icipat e.
• Every desire or pref erence, no mat t er how large or small it may seem t o you, is underst ood and
answered by All-That -Is.
• As every desire f rom every perceiver is answered, t he Universe expands.
• As t he Universe expands, t he variet y expands.
• As t he variet y expands, your experience expands.
• As your experience expands, your desire expands.
• As your desire expands, t he answering of your desire expands.
• And t he Universe expands—and t hat is good. In f act , it is perf ect .
• You live in an et ernally expanding environment , which const ant ly causes newly f ocused desires wit hin
you, which Source immediat ely and always answers.
• Wit h each receiving of t hat which you are askingf or, you achieve a new vant age point f rom which you
spont aneously ask again.
• And so, t he expansion of t he Universe and your personal expansion will always be as f ollows:
— You live in an expanding Universe.
— You live in an expanding physical world.
— You are an expanding Being.
— And all of t his is, whet her you consciously underst and it or not .
— This Universe is et ernally expanding, and so are you.
— And t hat is good.

Consciously Participate in Your Own Delicious Expansion

We eagerly of f er our perspect ive t o you f or one reason only: so t hat you may consciously part icipat e in
your own delicious expansion. Your expansion is a given; t he expansion of your t ime-space-realit y is a
given, and t he expansion of t his Universe is a given. It is j ust ever so much more sat isf ying f or you t o
consciously and deliberat ely part icipat e in your own expansion.
 Chapter 16
You Are Co-creating Within a Magnificently Diverse Universe

If you have t he abilit y t o imagine it , or even t o t hink about it , t his Universe has t he abilit y and t he
resources t o deliver it f ully unt o you, f or t his Universe is like a well-st ocked kit chen wit h every ingredient
imaginable at your disposal. And wit hin every part icle of t his Universe is t hat which is want ed and t he
lack of it . This perspect ive of abundance, and t he lack of it , is t he environment in which f ocus is
possible—and f ocus act ivat es t he Law or At t ract ion.
If you do not have t he abilit y t o know what you do want , you will not have t he abilit y t o know what you
do not want . And wit hout t he abilit y t o know what you do not want , you could not know what you do
want . And so, it is t hrough your exposure t o lif e experience t hat your nat ural pref erences are born. In
f act , t hese pref erences are exuding f rom you in all moment s of every day, at many levels of your Being.
Even t he cells of your well-t ended-t o body are having t heir own experience and are emanat ing t heir own
pref erences—and every pref erence is recognized by Source and immediat ely answered, wit h no
except ions.

Unwanted Must Be Allowed, for Wanted to Be Received

Somet imes our physical f riends express t heir desire f or a less diverse Universe. They long f or a place
where t here are not so many unwant ed t hings, a place where more t hings are exact ly as t hey pref er t hem
t o be. And we always explain t hat you did not come f ort h int o t his physical experience want ing t o t ake all
of t he experiences t hat exist and whit t le t hem down t o a handf ul of good ideas upon which all of you
agree, f or t hat would lead t o end-edness, which cannot be. This is an expanding Universe, and all t hings
must be allowed. In ot her words, f or you t o underst and and experience what you desire, you must
underst and t hat which you do not desire, f or, in order t o be able t o choose and f ocus, bot h must be
present and underst ood.

You Did Not Come to Fix a Broken World

As Non-Physical Source Energy expressing t hrough your physical experience, your physical experience is
t ruly t he Leading Edge of t hought . And as you are f ine-t uning your creat ive experience, you are t aking
t hought beyond t hat which it has ever been bef ore.
As you ent husiast ically made t he decision t o come int o t his physical body and creat e in t his way, you
underst ood, f rom your Non-Physical vant age point , t hat t his physical world was not broken and in need of
repair—and you did not come f ort h t o f ix it .
You saw t his physical world as a creat ive environment in which you, and everyone else, could express
yourselves creat ively—you did not come f ort h t o t ry t o get ot hers t o st op doing what t hey are doing and
do somet hing else. You came f ort h underst anding t he value in t he cont rast , and t he balance in t he
variet y.
Every physical Being on your planet is your part ner in co-creat ion, and if you would accept t hat and
appreciat e t he diversit y of belief s and desires— all of you would have more expansive, sat isf ying, and
f ulf illing experiences.

Do Not Put Those Unwanted Ingredients in Your Pie

Imagine yourself as a chef in an ext remely well-st ocked kit chen t hat cont ains every imaginable
ingredient . Let us say t hat you have a clear idea of t he culinary creat ion you desire, and you underst and
how t o combine t hese easily accessible ingredient s in order t o f ulf ill your desire. And as you proceed,
t here are many ingredient s t hat are not appropriat e f or your creat ion, so you do not ut ilize t hem, but you
also f eel no discomf ort about t heir exist ence. You simply ut ilize t he ingredient s t hat will enhance your
creat ion—and you leave t he ingredient s t hat are not appropriat e f or your creat ion out of your pie.
Some of t he ingredient s in t his well-st ocked kit chen are harmonious wit h your creat ion, and some of t hem
are not . But even t hough adding some of t hese ingredient s t o your creat ion would absolut ely ruin your
pie, you do not f eel t he need t o push against t hose ingredient s, or t o ban t hem f rom t he kit chen, because
you underst and t hat t here is no reason f or t hem t o end up in your pie unless you put t hem in it . And since
you are clear about which ones enhance your creat ion and which ones do not enhance it , you f eel no
concern about t he great variet y of ingredient s t hat exist .

There Is Enough Room for All Diverse Thoughts and Experiences

From your Non-Physical perspect ive of t he enormous variet y of experiences, belief s, and desires t hat exist
among t he people of your world, you f elt no need t o omit or cont rol some of t hem. You underst ood t hat
t here is room enough in t his expansive Universe f or all manner of t iiought and experience. You had every
int ent ion of being deliberat e about your own creat ive cont rol of your own lif e experience and your own
creat ions— but you had no int ent ions of t rying t o cont rol t he creat ions of ot hers.
The variet y did not f right en you, but inst ead, inspired you, f or you knew t hat you were each t he creat or
of your own experience, and you underst ood t hat your exposure t o t he cont rast would inspire specif ic
direct ions wit hin you, and t hat j ust because ot hers may choose dif f erent ly, it did not make you right and
t hem wrong, or t hem right and you wrong. You underst ood t he value of t he diversit y.

Here Is the Process by Which Your Universe Expands

So f rom t he variet y or cont rast , your own pref erences or desires are born. And in t he moment t hat your
pref erence begins t o exist , it begins t o draw t o it self , t hrough t he Law of At t ract ion, t he essence of t hat
which mat ches it —and it t hen begins an immediat e expansion.
And as you pay at t ent ion t o t he way you f eel and cont inue t o choose good-f eeling t hought s regarding your
newly born pref erence, you st ay aligned wit h it , and now it gent ly and easily appears in your experience—
and you have now creat ed your desire. But , along wit h t his newly achieved physical manif est at ion of your
desire comes an evolved perspect ive. And so, t he vibrat ional charact erist ics of you and everyt hing about
you have shif t ed somewhat , and you have moved int o a new set of cont rast ing circumst ances t hat will
again inspire new pref erences wit hin you—and now, new rocket s of desire emanat e f rom you.
And in t he moment t hat t his new desire exist s, it t oo begins t o vibrat ionally draw unt o it self , and it t oo
expands. So now, as you cont inue t o pay at t ent ion t o t he way you f eel, and you choose good-f eeling
t hought s regarding t his newly born pref erence, you remain vibrat ionally aligned wit h it . Theref ore, it
gent ly and easily appears in your experience. And again, you have creat ed your desire. And again, you
have achieved a powerf ul place of clarit y where anot her new set of cont rast ing f act ors surround you—
which again will cause a new rocket of desire t o be born. . . .
This is how t he Universe expands, and t his is why you are on t he Leading Edge of t he expansion. The
valuable cont rast cont inues t o provide t he birt hing of endless new desires, and as each desire is born,
Source responds t o t he desire. It is a never-ending, always f lowing, pure, posit ive Energy expansion.

You Will Never Get There, So Enj oy Your Journey

Once you consciously observe, f rom your own creat ive perspect ive, how each new achievement leads t o
anot her new desire, you will begin t o personally underst and your part in t his expansive Universe. And, in
t ime, you will come t o remember t hat you never get it done because you never cease your awareness of
t he cont rast out of which is always born a new idea or desire. The ent ire Universe is est ablished in t hat
way. And as you begin t o relax int o t he idea t hat you are an et ernal Being, t hat your desires will never
cease t o f low, and t hat any desire t hat is born has t he power wit hin it t o at t ract (by Law of At t ract ion) all
t hat is necessary f or t he expansion and f ulf illment of it self , t hen you may remember t he immense Well-
Being upon which t his Universe is est ablished, and, you may t hen relax int o t he et ernal nat ure of your
own Being. It is t hen t hat you will begin t o enj oy your j ourney.
If your goal is t o, f inally, once and f or all, achieve all t hat you desire, you will f ind yourself unable t o
ever f ulf ill t hat goal, f or t he expanding nat ure of t his Universe def ies t hat idea. You cannot ever get it
done because you cannot ever cease t o be, and neit her can you ever halt your awareness. Yet , out of your
awareness will always be born anot her asking, and each asking always summons anot her answering.
Your et ernal nat ure is one of expansion—and in t hat expansion is t he pot ent ial f or unspeakable j oy.
 Feel the Balance and Perfection of Your Environment

So, t he cont rast causes new desire t o be born wit hin you. The new desire radiat es f rom you, and as you
of f er t he vibrat ion of your new desire, t hat desire is answered. Every t ime. When you ask, it is given.
Now t hink about t he perf ect ion of t his process: Cont inuing new ideas f or t he improvement of your
experience emanat e f rom you const ant ly, and are answered const ant ly.
Consider t he perf ect ion of t his Universal environment : Every point of Consciousness is improving it s st at e
of being in j ust t he same way as you, where every desire is underst ood and answered, and every
perspect ive is honored and responded t o.
Feel t he balance and perf ect ion of your environment : Every point of Consciousness, even t he
Consciousness of a cell in your body, can request an improved st at e of being—and get it .

Since Every Request Is Granted, There Is No Competition

Each point of view mat t ers; every request is grant ed; and as t his amazing Universe unerringly expands,
t here is no end t o t he Universal resources t hat f ulf ill t hese request s. And t here is no end t o t he answers
t o t he never-ending st ream of quest ions—and f or t hat reason, t here is no compet it ion.
It is not possible f or someone else t o receive t he resources t hat were meant f or you, and you cannot
self ishly squander resources t hat were int ended f or someone else. All desires are answered; all request s
are grant ed, and no one is lef t unanswered, unloved, or unf ulf illed. When you st ay aligned wit h your
Energy St ream, you always win, and somebody else does not have t o lose f or you t o win. There is always
enough.
Somet imes our physical f riends have a dif f icult t ime remembering t his t rut h because t hey may experience
some short age in t heir experience, or observe it in t he experience of anot her. But what t hey are
wit nessing is not an evidence of short age or a lack of resources, but inst ead t he disallowance of t he
receiving of t he resources t hat have been request ed and answered. St ep 1 has occurred: The asking is in
place. St ep 2 has occurred: The answering is in pl ace. But St ep 3, t he allowing, has not occurred.
If someone is not receiving what t hey are asking f or, it is not because t here is a short age of resources; it
can only be t hat t he person holding t he desire is out of alignment wit h t heir own request . There is no
short age. There is no lack. There is no compet it ion f or resources. There is only t he allowing or t he
disallowing of t hat which you are asking f or.

Where Are You, and Where Do You Want to Be?

Have you seen t he Global Posit ioning navigat ional syst ems t hat are available in vehicles t oday? An ant enna
on t he roof of your vehicle sends a signal t o sat ellit es in t he sky t hat ident if y your current locat ion. Once

by t ext ) specif ic direct ions t o lead you t o your new dest inat ion.
The navigat ional syst em never asks: “ Where have you been?” It does not ask: “ Why have you been t here
so long?” It s only mission is t o assist you in get t ing f rom where you are t o where you want t o be. Your
emot ions provide a similar guidance syst em f or you, f or t heir primary f unct ion is also t o help you t ravel
t he dist ance f rom where you are t o wherever you want t o be.
It is ext remely import ant t hat you know where you are in relat ionship t o where you want t o be in order t o
ef f ect ively move closer t o where you want t o be. An underst anding of bot h where you are and where you

You are surrounded by many inf luences in your physical environment , and of t en, ot hers ask or insist t hat

Of t en you are pulled t his way and t hat in an at t empt t o please anot her, only t o discover t hat no mat t er

Your Greatest Gift to Give Is Your Happiness

The great est gif t t hat you could ever give t o anot her is your own happiness, f or when you are in a st at e of

have access t o t he St ream) suf f er in t heir inabilit y t o hold t hemselves in a place of f eeling good, and ask
you t o behave in a way t hat t hey believe will make t hem f eel bet t er. But not only do t hey hold you in a
place of discomf ort as t hey t ry t o make you responsible f or t heir j oy, t hey hold t hemselves in a place of
bondage as well. For t hey cannot cont rol t he way any ot her behaves, and if t hat cont rol is necessary f or
t heir happiness, t hen t hey t ruly are in t rouble.

Your Happiness Does Not Depend on What Others Do

Your happiness does not depend on what ot hers do, but only upon your own vibrat ional balance. And t he
happiness of ot hers does not depend on you, but only on t heir own vibrat ional balance, f or t he way
anyone f eels, in any moment , is only about t heir own mix of Energies. The way you f eel is simply, clearly,
and always t he indicat or of t he vibrat ional balance bet ween your desires and your vibrat ional of f ering,
which, f rom your vant age point , you have launched.
There is not hing in all of t he Universe more import ant f or anyone t o underst and t han how t he vibrat ion
t hey are of f ering is mat ching t he vibrat ions of t heir desires, and t he way you f eel is your indicat or of
whet her you are allowing your connect ion t o Source or not . Every good f eeling; every posit ive creat ion;
all your abundance, clarit y, healt h, vit alit y, and Well-Being—and all t he t hings t hat you consider t o be
good, are dependent upon t he way you are f eeling right now and on t he relat ionship t hat t hat f eeling-
vibrat ion has t o t he vibrat ion of who you really are and what you really desire.

If you are using any ot her inf luence as your source of guidance, you will get lost and go of f t rack, f or no

And so, only when you pay at t ent ion t o t he way you f eel can you guide yourself st eadily t oward your own

Why Does Saying No to It Mean Saying Yes to It?

Your vibrat ional Universe has t he Law of At t ract ion as it s basis. That means t hat your Universe is about
inclusion. When you give your at t ent ion t o somet hing t hat you desire and you say yes t o it , you are
including it in your vibrat ion. But when you look at somet hing you do not want and you say no t o it , you
are including it in your vibrat ion. When you give no at t ent ion t o it , you do not include it , but you cannot
exclude anyt hing t hat you are giving your at t ent ion t o, because your at t ent ion t o it includes it in your
vibrat ion, every t ime, wit hout except ion.
 Chapter 18
You Can Gradually Change Your Vibrational Frequency

Just because you make t he decision t o f ind a dif f erent t hought , it does not necessarily mean t hat you can
go direct ly t o t hat t hought right now, f or t he Law of At t ract ion has somet hing t o say about t he t hought s
you have access t o f rom where you are. Of course, t here is no t hought t hat you cannot event ually have—
j ust as t here is noplace t hat you cannot event ually reach f rom wherever you are—but you cannot inst ant ly
j ump t o a t hought t hat has a vibrat ional f requency very dif f erent f rom t he t hought s you are usually
t hinking.
Somet imes one of your f riends, who is current ly in a much bet t er-f eeling place t han you are, may
encourage you t o st op t hinking so negat ively and choose more posit ive t hought s. But j ust because your
f riend is t here in t hat bet t er-f eeling place does not mean t hat your f riend can bring you t here—f or t he
Law of At t ract ion will not allow you t o f ind a vibrat ional f requency t hat is f ar f rom t he f requency t hat you
usually sust ain. And even t hough you do want t o f eel bet t er, you may not f eel t hat you can f ind t he j oyf ul
t hought t hat your f riend want s you t o f ind. But we want you t o underst and t hat you can event ually f ind
t hat t hought , and t hat once you have deliberat ely and gradually changed your vibrat ional f requency, you
will be able t o sust ain t hat more posit ive posit ion once you do achieve it .
As you discover t hat you can always know t he vibrat ional cont ent of your Being, and can t heref ore always
be aware of what your point of at t ract ion is, you wi ll t hen be in conscious creat ive cont rol of your own
experience. And once you underst and t hat your emot ions are giving you specif ic f eedback about your
vibrat ional cont ent , t hen you can proceed wit h t he deliberat e and gradual adj ust ment of your vibrat ion.

Reach for the Best-Feeling Thought You Have Access To

Choosing a dif f erent t hought will always produce a dif f erent emot ional response. So you could say, “ I will
deliberat ely choose my t hought s so t hat I can f eel bet t er. ” That would be a good decision f or you t o
make. An even bet t er decision, and really, an easier one t o make is: “ I want t o f eel good, so I will t ry t o
f eel good by choosing a t hought t hat does f eel good. ”
If it is your decision t o “ f ollow your bliss, ” and you have been f ocusing on a lif e sit uat ion t hat is nowhere
near bliss, your decision t o f ollow your bliss would be unsuccessf ul because t he Law of At t ract ion cannot
deliver a t hought t hat holds such a dramat ic vibrat ional dif f erence. But if your decision is t o reach f or t he
best -f eeling t hought t hat you have access t o, t hat decision can be easily achieved.
The key t o moving up t he vibrat ional emot ional scale is t o be consciously aware of , even sensit ive t o, t he
way you f eel, f or if you are not aware of how you f eel, you cannot underst and which way you are moving
on t he scale. (You could be t urned around and on your way back t o Phoenix and not know it . )
But if you t ake t he t ime t o consciously det ermine t he emot ion t hat you are current ly experiencing, t hen
any improvement in your f eeling means t hat you are making progress t oward your goal, while any
int ensif ying of t he negat ive emot ion means t hat you are going in t he wrong direct ion.
So, a good way t o f eel your way up t his vibrat ional emot ional scale is t o always be reaching f or t he f eeling
of relief t hat comes when I release a more resist ant t hought and replace it wit h a more allowing t hought .
The St ream of Well-Being is always f lowing t hrough you, and t he more you allow it , t he bet t er you f eel.
The more you resist it , t he worse you f eel.
 Chapter 19
Only You Can Know How You Feel About You

When you expect somet hing, it is on t he way. When you believe somet hing, it is on t he way. When you
f ear somet hing, it is on t he way.
Your at t it ude or mood is always point ing t oward what is coming, but you are never st uck wit h your
current point of at t ract ion. Just because you have picked up t hese t hought s, belief s, at t it udes, and
moods along your physical t rail does not mean t hat you have t o cont inue at t ract ing in response t o t hem.
You have creat ive cont rol of your own experience. And, by paying at t ent ion t o your own Emot ional
Guidance Syst em, you can change your point of at t ract ion.
If t here are t hings in your experience t hat you no longer wish t o experience, your belief must change.
If t here are t hings t hat are not in your experience t hat you want t o bring int o your experience, your belief
must change.
There is no condit ion so severe t hat you cannot reverse it by choosing dif f erent t hought s. However,
choosing dif f erent t hought s requires f ocus and pract i ce. If you cont inue t o f ocus as you have been, t o
t hink as you have been, and t o beli eve as you have been, t hen not hing in your experience will change.

Life Is Always in Motion, So You Cannot Be “ Stuck”

Somet imes our physical f riends will say, “ I’ m st uck! I’ ve been in t his place f or a very long t ime, and I
can’ t get out of it . I’ m st uck! ”
And we always explain t hat it is not possible t o st and st ill or be st uck, because Energy, and t heref ore lif e,
is always in mot ion. Things are always changing.
But t he reason it may f eel t o you as if you are st uck is because, while you are cont inuing t o t hink t he
same t hought s, t hings are changing—but t hey are changing t o t he same t hing over and over.
If you want t hings t o change t o dif f erent t hings, you must t hink dif f erent t hought s. And t hat simply
requires f inding unf amiliar ways of approaching f amiliar subj ect s.

Others Cannot Understand Your Desires or Feelings

Ot hers are of t en eager t o guide you. There are endless people, wit h endless opinions, rules,
requirement s, and suggest ions f or how you should live your lif e, but none of t hem are able t o t ake int o
considerat ion t he only t hing t hat mat t ers in achieving your desires: Ot hers cannot underst and t he
vibrat ional cont ent of your desires, and t hey cannot underst and t he vibrat ional cont ent of where you are,
so t hey are not in any way equipped t o guide you. Even when t hey have t he very best of int ent ions and
want your absolut e Well-Being, t hey do not know. And even t hough many of t hem at t empt t o be
unself ish, it is never possible f or t hem t o separat e t heir desire f or you f rom t heir own desire f or
t hemselves.

No One Else Knows What Is Appropriate for You

When you remember t hat when anyone asks, it is always given, t hen can you not f eel t he perf ect ion of an
environment where each specif ic perspect ive get s t o choose?
Imagine t hat you will at t end an Abraham-Hicks Art of Allowing Workshop. You know when and where it
will be held, and you have made t ime in your schedule t o at t end. So, wit h relat ive ease, you make all t he
decisions t hat are right f or you.
You look down t he list of approximat ely 50 seminars t hat will be of f ered during t he next year, and you
pick a t ime and locat ion t hat is most appealing t o you. You not ice t hat a seminar will be held in t he cit y
where you live, but t he dat e conf lict s wit h somet hing else you had planned t o do, so you look f or an
alt ernat ive. You t hen f ind a dat e t hat mat ches t he t ime you do have open, you look f or a seminar wit hin
t hat t ime f rame, and you f ind one in a cit y t hat you have always want ed t o visit . So you call Abraham-
Hicks Publicat ions and purchase your seat f or t he seminar.
Since you do not live in t he seminar cit y, you realize t hat you will need room accommodat ions and some
sort of t ransport at ion t o t he cit y. So, t aking int o considerat ion your specif ic desires and needs, you make
several plans: You decide t o t ravel by air, because of t he t ime f act or, and you choose a hot el a f ew blocks
away f rom t he seminar hot el because you are a member of t heir rewards program and you can get a
bet t er rat e by doing so. (You also pref er t he t ype of mat t resses t hat part icular hot el chain of f ers. )
Once you arrive at your seminar cit y, you rent a car f rom your f avorit e among t he many car-rent al
agencies. And on your way t o t he hot el, you st op at a rest aurant t hat perf ect ly sat isf ies your cravings, and
t hat f it s perf ect ly int o your price range. You have t aken very good care of yourself . In f act , you have
arranged a perf ect ly wonderf ul t ime.
But what if Abraham-Hicks Publicat ions had decided t hat t hey, f rom t heir vast experience in of f ering
seminars, were in a bet t er posit ion t o make plans f or you. So, based on what t hey have heard f rom t he
t housands who have at t ended t heir seminars, t hey have decided t hat t hey will make your arrangement s.
They assume, based on your address, t hat you would pref er t o at t end t he seminar in your homet own, so
t hat is t he one t hey sign you up f or. But t hen you explain t hat you have a scheduling conf lict , so t hey
adj ust t heir decision and send you a t icket f or t he seminar cit y you pref er.
And, in like manner, as t hey make t heir decisions about what is t he best airline f or you t o t ake, t he car-
rent al agency you rent f rom, t he hot el bed you sleep in, and t he f ood you eat , t heir choices would f all f ar
short of pleasing you. You are much bet t er equipped t o make t hose decisions f or yourself .
When you remember t hat everyone who asks is given, t hen how wonderf ul and appropriat e it is f or you t o
make t he choices f or you—f or t he Universe operat es much more ef f icient ly wit hout a middleman
int erceding on your behalf . No one else knows what is appropriat e f or you—but you do. You always know
in t he moment what is best f or you.
 Chapter 20
Trying to Hinder Another’ s Freedom Always Costs You Your Freedom

When you ask, it is always given, but you must be in vibrat ional harmony wit h what you are asking f or
bef ore you can let it in t o your experience. The reason why I so many people do not remember or believe
t hat all t hat t hey are asking f or is being answered is because t hey are not consciously aware of what t hey
are doing, vibrat ionally. They are not making t he conscious connect ion bet ween t heir t hought s, t he
subsequent f eelings t hose t hought s evoke, and t he manif est at ions t hat are occurring. And wit hout t hat
conscious connect ion, you cannot know where you are in relat ionship t o t hat which you desire.
When you know t hat you want somet hing, and you not i ce you do not have it , you assume t hat t here is
somet hing out side of yourself t hat is keeping it f rom you, but t hat is never t rue. The only t hing t hat ever
prevent s your receiving somet hing t hat you desire is t hat your habit of t hought is dif f erent f rom your
desire.
Once you are aware of t he power of your t hought s, and of your abilit y t o allow in t he t hings t hat you
desire, you t hen have creat ive cont rol of your experience. But if you are predominant ly f ocused upon t he
result s of your f ocused t hought s rat her t han f eeling your way wit hin your t hought s, it is easy t o lose your
way.

Every “ Reality” Has Been Focused by Someone into Being

Somet imes people will argue, “ But Abraham, I’ m only t elling you what -is. I’ m only f acing t he realit y of
t he sit uat ion. ” And we say t hat you were t aught t o f ace realit y bef ore you knew you were creat ing
realit y. . . do not f ace realit y unless it is a realit y you want t o creat e—f or any “ realit y” only exist s because
someone has f ocused it int o being.
Someone will say, “ But t his is a t rue t hing, and t heref ore it deserves my at t ent ion. ” And we say t hat you
make what ever you give your at t ent ion t o. . . your Trut h. And so, it is ext remely benef icial f or you t o f ocus
primarily on t he way you f eel while giving only scant at t ent ion t o t he manif est at ions as t hey are
unf olding, f or whenever you are giving your primary at t ent ion t o t hings as t hey are, you are hindering t he
expansion of what -is.
All t hose st at ist ics t hat are gat hered about your own experiences and about ot hers—are only about how
somebody has already f lowed Energy. They are not about any hard-and-f ast now realit y.
Wit hin your current societ y, t here are many who gat her t he st at ist ics of human experience. They spend
lif et imes comparing experiences, and cat egorizing t hem as appropriat e or inappropriat e, right or wrong.
They weigh t he pros and t he cons and t he pluses and t he minuses of t opic af t er t opic, but t hey seldom
realize t hat t heir vibrat ional of f erings are not serving t hem. They have no sense of t heir own power
because t hey are f lowing t heir Energy in opposing direct ions. Their lives have become more about labeling
t he behavior or experiences of t hose wit h whom t hey share t heir planet t han about t heir own creat ing.
And so, t hey f ind t hemselves in a very uncomf ort able posit ion as t hey come t o believe t hat t heir
happiness or Well-Being depends upon t he behavior of ot hers. They point t o people, behaviors, or belief s
and call t hem inappropriat e, saying no t o t hem, wit hout realizing t hat t hey are including int o t heir
experience t he vibrat ion of t he very t hing t hey do not want . And so, wit hout t he knowledge of how it is
t hat t hose unwant ed t hings are making t heir way int o t heir experience, t hey become increasingly guarded
and f earf ul.

Unwanted Things Cannot Jump into Your Experience Uninvited

Freedom f rom t he f ear of unwant ed experiences will never be achieved by t rying t o cont rol t he behavior
or desires of ot hers. Your rreedom can only be allowed by adj ust ing your own vibrat ional point of
at t ract ion.
Wit hout a knowledge of t he Law of At t ract ion, and wit hout a conscious awareness of what you are doing
wit h your own vibrat ional point of at t ract ion, it is underst andable why you would at t empt t o cont rol t he
circumst ances t hat surround you. But you cannot cont rol t he many circumst ances t hat surround you.
However, once you learn about t he Law of At t ract ion, and once you are aware of t he way your t hought s
f eel, you will never again f eel f ear about unwant ed t hings j umping int o your experience. You will
underst and t hat not hing can j ump int o your experience wit hout your invit at ion. Since t here is no assert ion
in t his at t ract ion-based Universe, if you do not achieve vibrat ional harmony wit h it , it cannot come t o
you; and unless you do achieve vibrat ional harmony wit h it , it cannot come t o you.
Even t he smallest among you, your babies, are of f ering vibrat ions t hat t he Universe is mat ching. And, like
you, your lit t le ones are inf luenced by t he vibrat ions of t hose who surround t hem, but nevert heless, t hey
are creat ing t heir own realit y. Like you, t hey did not begin t he creat ion of t heir lif e in t his body once
t hey were in it . but long bef ore t heir physical birt h t hey set int o mot ion t his lif e experience t hat t hey are
now living.
The great est argument we hear f rom our physical f riends who want t o underst and t heir relat ionship wit h
t he Non-Physical and how it is t hat t hey are here, living and creat ing, is: “ But how is it possible t hat t his
lit t le baby who has really learned very lit t le about our physical world could be held responsible f or t he
creat ion of it s own lif e?” We want you t o underst and t hat t his lit t le one is very well prepared f or it s lif e in
your environment because, like you, it was born wit h an Emot ional Guidance Syst em t o help it f ind it s
way.
These babies, like you, came romping j oyously int o your t ime-space-realit y, eager f or t he opport unit y t o
cont inually make new decisions and t o align wit h t he Energy of t heir Source. Do not worry about t hem, or
about anyone. Well-Being is t he order of t his Universe, no mat t er how your current vant age point may
appear.
Remember, your emot ions are t elling you everyt hing you need t o know about your connect ion t o Source
Energy: They are t elling you how much Source Energy you are summoning in response t o your f ocused
desire; and t hey are also t elling you if you are, in t his moment of t hought and emot ion, in vibrat ional
alignment wit h your desire.

Was It Your Speed, or Was It the Tree?

If you were driving your vehicle at 100 miles per hour and you hit a t ree, you would experience a very big
crash. However, if you were t o hit t he same t ree whil e your vehicle was t raveling at j ust f ive miles per
hour, t he out come would be considerably dif f erent . See t he speed of your vehicle like t he power of your
desire. In ot her words, t he more you want somet hing, or t he longer you have been f ocusing upon your
desire, t he f ast er t he Energy moves. The t ree, in our analogy, represent s t he resist ance, or t he
cont radict ory t hought s, t hat may be present .
It is not pleasant t o run int o t rees, and it is also not pleasant t o hold powerf ul desires in t he midst of
great resist ance. Some t ry t o remedy t he imbalance by slowing down t heir vehicle. In ot her words, t hey
deny t heir desire, or t hey t ry t o release it , and somet imes, wit h great ef f ort , t hey are able t o dif f use t he
power of t heir desire t o some degree, but by f ar, t he bet t er remedy would be t o reduce your level of
resist ance.
Your desire is t he nat ural result of t he cont rast in which you are f ocused. The ent ire Universe exist s t o
inspire t he next new desire. And so, if you are t rying t o avoid your own desire, you are at t empt ing t o
move cont rary t o Universal Forces. And even if you are able t o suppress a desire here and t here, more
desires are cont inually evolving wit hin you, f or you have come f ort h int o t his body and int o t his wonderf ul
cont rast ing environment wit h t he clear int ent of f ocusing t he Energy t hat creat es worlds t hrough t he
powerf ully f ocused lens of your perspect ive. And so, not hing in all of t he Universe is more nat ural t han
your cont inuing desire.

Behind Every Desire Is the Desire to Feel Good

There is no desire t hat anyone holds f or any ot her reason t han t hat t he believe t hey will f eel bet t er in t he
achievement of it . Whet her it is a mat erial obj ect , a physical st at e of being, a relat ionship, a condit ion,
or a circumst ance—at t he heart of every desire is t he desire t o f eel good. And so, t he st andard of success
in lif e is not t he t hings or t he money— t he st andard of success is absolut ely t he amount of j oy you f eel.
The basis of lif e is f reedom, and t he result of lif e is expansion—but t he purpose of your lif e is j oy. And
t hat is why t he main event has never been t he manif est at ion. It has always been t he way you f eel in t he
moment . In ot her words, you int ended t o come int o t he physical realm of cont rast t o def ine what is
want ed, t o connect wit h t he Energy t hat creat es worlds, and t o f low it t oward your obj ect s of at t ent ion—
not because t he obj ect s of at t ent ion are import ant , but because t he act of f lowing Energy is essent ial t o
lif e.
 In Your Appreciation, You Offer No Resistance

Remember, you are an ext ension of Source Energy, and when you are allowing your f ull connect ion t o
your Source, you f eel good, and t o t he degree t hat you disallow your connect ion, you f eel less good. You
are pure, posit ive Energy. You are love. You expect good t hings. You respect and love yourself . You
respect and love ot hers—and you are a nat ural born appreciat or.
Appreciat ion and self -love are t he most import ant aspect s you could ever nurt ure. Appreciat ion of ot hers
and t he appreciat ion of yourself are t he closest vibrat ional mat ches t o Source Energy of anyt hing we have
ever wit nessed anywhere in t his Universe.
Whenever you are f ocused upon somet hing you appreciat e, since t hat current choice of t hought is so
similar t o who you really are as Source Energy, t here is no cont radict ion in your Energy. You are, in your
moment of appreciat ion, of f ering no resist ance t o who you are, so your result ing emot ional indicat ion is
one of love, j oy, or t he f eeling of appreciat ion. You f eel very good.
But if you crit icize someone or even f ind f ault wit h yourself , your result ing f eeling would not f eel good,
because t he vibrat ion of t his t hought of crit icism is so very dif f erent f rom t hat of your Source. In ot her
words, because you have chosen a t hought t hat does not mat ch who you really are, you can, in t his
moment , f eel t he discord of your choice t hrough your emot ions.
If your grandmot her, who adores and appreciat es you, t ells you how wonderf ul you are, t he reason t hose
words f eel so good is because t hey cause you t o f ocus in a way t hat connect s you wit h who you really are.
But if a t eacher or an acquaint ance chast ises you f or some act ion you have of f ered, you f eel bad because
you have now been inf luenced t o a t hought t hat does not mat ch who you really are.
Your emot ions let you know, in every moment , whet her you are allowing your connect ion t o who you are
or not . When you allow your connect ion, you t hrive. When you do not allow your connect ion, you do not
t hrive.

You Must Be Selfish Enough to Align with Well-Being

Now, occasionally, someone will accuse us of t eaching self ishness. And we agree. Indeed, we do t each
self ishness, f or if you are not self ish enough t o deliberat ely align wi t h t he Energy of your Source, you have
not hing t o give anyway.
Some worry, “ If I self ishly achieve what I want , wouldn’ t I be unf airly t aking it f rom ot hers?” But t hat
concern is based on t he misconcept ion t hat t here is a limit of available abundance. They worry t hat if
t hey t ake t oo much of t he pie, ot hers will be lef t wit h not hing, while, in realit y, t he pie expands in
proport ion t o t he vibrat ional request s of all of you.
You never say, “ I f eel guilt y about t he abundance of good healt h t hat I have been living, so I have decided
t hat I will be sick f or t he next couple years in order t o allow someone who has been sick t he opport unit y
t o use my port ion of wellness f or himself . ” For you underst and t hat by your being well, you are in no way
depriving anot her of t he experience of wellness.
There are some who f ear t hat a self ish person may deliberat ely int end harm t o anot her, but it is not
possible f or someone who is connect ed t o Source Energy t o wish harm upon anot her—f or t hose vibrat ions
are not compat ible.
Some say, “ I saw a pict ure of a mass murderer, and he looked gleef ul. He showed no remorse at all. He
said he enj oyed what he did. ” But you have no way of accurat ely accessing what he is f eeling. You
experience your own emot ions because of t he relat ionship bet ween your desire and your current st at e of
t hought about t he subj ect , but you have no way of accurat ely f eeling his emot ions. It is our absolut e
promise t o you t hat no one connect ed t o Source Energy would ever cause harm t o anot her. They lash out
in t heir det ensiveness, or in t heir disconnect edness, but never f rom t heir st at e of connect ion. You must
underst and t hat t he ult imat e act of self ishness is t o connect wit h Self . And when you do t hat , you are
pure, posit ive Energy f ocused in t his physical body.
If everyone on your planet were connect ed t o t heir own Source Energy, t here would be no assault s, f or
t here would be no j ealousy, insecurit y, or uncomf ort able f eelings of compet it ion. If everyone underst ood
t he power of t heir own Being, t hey would not seek t o cont rol ot hers. Any f eelings of insecurit y and hat red
are born f rom your disconnect ion wit h who you are. Your (self ish) connect ion wit h Well-Being would bring
only Well-Being.
And, most import ant , we want you t o underst and t hat it is not necessary f or everyone else (or anyone
else, f or t hat mat t er) t o underst and what you are learning here in order f or you t o live a wonderf ul
experience. Once you remember who you are, and once you deliberat ely reach f or t hought s t hat hold you
in vibrat ional alignment wit h who you are, your world will also f all int o alignment —and Well-Being will
show it self t o you in all areas of your lif e experience.

If You Are Not Expecting It, You Are Not Allowing It

Remember, each emot ion indicat es how much Energy you are summoning because of your desire, and how
much of t hat summoned Energy you are allowing because of t he predominant t hought s and belief s t hat
you current ly hold relat ive t o t hat desire. If you are f eeling st rong emot ion, whet her posit ive or negat ive,
t hat means t hat your desire is powerf ully f ocused, and you are summoning a great deal of Source Energy
t oward your desire. When your st rong emot ions f eel bad—like depression, f ear, or anger—t hat means you
are of f ering resist ance t o your desire. When your st rong emot ions f eel good—like passion, ent husiasm,
expect at ion, or love—t hat means you are of f ering no resist ance t o your desire, so t he Source Energy t hat
you have summoned t hrough your desire is not being challenged vibrat ionally by you—and you are
current ly allowing t he unf olding of your desire.
So it seems obvious t hat t he perf ect creat ive sit uat ion is t o really, really want somet hing t hat you t ruly
believe is possible. And when t hat combinat ion of desire and belief is present wit hin you, t hings will
quickly and easily unf old in your experience. But when you want somet hing t hat you do not believe is
possible, when you hold a desire f or somet hing t hat you do not expect — alt hough a st rong enough desire
can override a weaker belief —it does not unf old easily, f or you are not allowing it int o your current
experience.

The Feeling of a Pure Desire Feels Good to You

Unf ort unat ely, many people t hink t hat t he uncomf ort able f eeling of want ing somet hing t hey do not
expect t o experience is what t he f eeling of desire is; t hey no longer recognize t he f eeling of pure desire
as t hat f resh, eager, f eeling of expect ancy t hat t hey knew when t hey were younger. The f eeling of pure
desire is always delicious, as it represent s t he vibrat ions t hat are st ret ched out bef ore you int o your
unseen f ut ure, preparing t he way f or t he Law of At t ract ion t o mat ch t hings up on your behalf .
The value in recognizing your emot ions and t hen consciously working t o of f er t hought s in order t o
deliberat ely produce bet t er-f eeling emot ions is t ruly what Deliberat e Creat ion is. It is also what t he Art of
Allowing is all about .

Why Would You Want to Be Over There?

Somet imes a person will say, “ I’ m not happy over here where I’ m st anding. I would much rat her be over
t here—over t here where my body is not sick, or over t here where I’ m not overweight , or over t here where
I have more money or a bet t er relat ionship. ”
And we ask, Why would you like t o be over t here?
Of t en t he reply is, “ Because I’ m not happy over here where I’ m st anding. ”
We t hen explain t hat it is import ant t o t alk about what is believed t o be “ over t here” and t o t ry t o f ind
t he f eeling-place of what ’ s “ over t here. ” For as long as someone is t alking about , and f eeling what ’ s
“ over here, ” it is not possible f or t hem t o get “ over t here. ”
If you have been accust omed t o t hinking and speaking about where you are current ly st anding, it is not an
easy t hing t o suddenly shif t your vibrat ions and t o now begin t hinking and f eeling somet hing t hat is very
dif f erent . In f act , t he Law of At t ract ion says t hat you do not have access t o t hought s and f eelings t hat are
very f ar f rom where you have recent ly been vibrat ing, but wit h some ef f ort , you could f ind ot her
t hought s. Wit h a det erminat ion t o f eel bet t er, you could change t he subj ect and t heref ore f ind ot her
t hought s wit h bet t er-f eeling vibrat ions—but vibrat ional shif t ing is usually a gradual process.
In f act , a cont inual at t empt , in def iance of t he Law of At t ract ion, of t rying t o j ump vibrat ional ranges is a
maj or f act or in t he f eelings of discouragement t hat event ually cause people t o conclude t hat t hey really
do not have cont rol of t heir own lif e experiences.

You Are Only 17 Seconds Away from 68 Seconds to Fulfillment

Wit h only a f ew seconds of f ocusing your at t ent ion on a subj ect , you act ivat e t he vibrat ion of t hat subj ect
wit hin you, and immediat ely t he Law of At t ract ion begins t o respond t o t hat act ivat ion. The longer you
keep your at t ent ion f ocused on somet hing, t he easier it becomes f or you t o cont inue t o f ocus upon it
because you are at t ract ing, t hrough t he Law of At t ract ion, ot her t hought s or vibrat ions t hat are t he
essence of t he t hought you began wit h.
Wit hin 17 seconds of f ocusing on somet hing, a mat ching vibrat ion becomes act ivat ed. And now, as t hat
f ocus becomes st ronger and t he vibrat ion becomes clearer, t he Law of At t ract ion will bring t o you more
t hought s t hat mat ch. At t his point , t he vibrat ion will not have much at t ract ion power, but if you maint ain
your f ocus longer, t he power of t he vibrat ion will become f urt her-reaching. And if you manage t o st ay
purely f ocused upon any t hought f or as lit t le as 68 seconds, t he vibrat ion is powerf ul enough t hat it s
manif est at ion begins.
When you repeat edly ret urn t o a pure t hought , maint aining it f or at least 68 seconds, in a short period of
t ime (hours in some cases or a f ew days in ot hers), t hat t hought becomes a dominant t hought . And once
you achieve a dominant t hought , you will experience mat ching manif est at ions unt il you change it .
Remember t hat :
• The t hought s you t hink equal your point of at t ract ion.
• You get what you t hink about , whet her you want it or not .
• Your t hought s equal vibrat ion, and t hat vibrat ion is t hen answered by t he Law of At t ract ion.
• As your vibrat ion expands and becomes more powerf ul, it event ually becomes powerf ul enough f or
manif est at ion t o occur.
• In ot her words, what you t hink (and t heref ore f eel), and what manif est s in your experience, is always a
vibrat ional mat ch.

Your Uncontrolled Thoughts Are Not to Be Feared

Once t he Law of At t ract ion is underst ood and accept ed (which usually does not t ake long since t here is
not a shred of evidence anywhere in your environment t o ref ut e it ), many people become init ially
uncomf ort able wit h t heir own t hought s. Once t hey underst and t he power of t he Law of At t ract ion, and
t hey begin t o examine t he cont ent of t heir own mind, t hey somet imes worry about t he pot ent ial of what
t hey may now be at t ract ing t hrough t heir uncont rolled t hought s. But t here is no reason t o worry about
your t hought s, f or t hey are not like a loaded gun t hat may wreak powerf ul and inst ant aneous dest ruct ion.
For alt hough t he Law of At t ract ion is powerf ul, t he basis of your experience is t hat of Well-Being.
And even t hough your t hought s are magnet ic and expand wit h your at t ent ion, you have plent y of t ime—as
soon as you become aware of any negat ive f eelings—t o begin t o choose ot her less resist ant t hought s and
t hereby choose a more desired out come.
Remember, you can allow it or resist it in varying degrees, but t he St ream of Well-Being always f lows. So,
even a small ef f ort made t oward choosing a bet t er-f eeling t hought will net you obvious result s. And once
you have t aken t hat st ep and you do f ind t hat bet t er-f eeling t hought , you have given yourself t he

The Different Degrees of Your Emotional Guidance Scale

You might say t hat dif f erent emot ions have dif f erent vibrat ional f requencies, but a more accurat e way of
saying it would be: Your emot ions are indicat ors of your vibrat ional f requency. When you remember t hat
your emot ions indicat e your degree of alignment wit h Source Energy and t hat t he bet t er you f eel, t he
more you are allowing your alignment wit h t he t hings you desire, t hen it is easier t o underst and how t o
respond t o your emot ions.
Absolut e alignment wit h your own Source Energy means t hat you know t he f ollowing:
• You are f ree.
• You are powerf ul.
• You are good.
• You are love.
• You have value.
• You have purpose.
• All is well.

At any t ime t hat you are t hinking t hought s t hat cause you t o know your t rue nat ure, you are in alignment
wit h who you really are, f or t his is t he st at e of absolut e alignment . And t he way t hose t hought s f eel is t he
ult imat e emot ion of connect ion. When you t hink in t erms of a f uel gauge on a vehicle, t his st at e of
alignment would be t he same as a f ull t ank.
In ot her words, imagine a gauge or scale wit h gradat ions or degrees, which indicat e t he posit ion of t he
(f ullest ) allowance of your connect ion wit h your Source Energy all t he way t o your (empt iest ) most
resist ant disallowance of your alignment wit h your Source Energy.
A scale of your emot ions would look somet hing like t his:
1. Joy/ Knowledge/ Empowerment / Freedom/ Love/ Appreciat ion
2. Passion
3. Ent husiasm/ Eagerness/ Happiness
4. Posit ive Expect at ion/ Belief
5. Opt imism
6. Hopef ulness
7. Cont ent ment
8. Boredom
9. Pessimism
10. Frust rat ion/ Irrit at ion/ Impat ience
11. “ Overwhelment ”
12. Disappoint ment
13. Doubt
14. Worry
15. Blame
16. Discouragement
17. Anger
18. Revenge
19. Hat red/ Rage
20. Jealousy
21. Insecurit y/ Guilt / Unwort hiness
22. Fear/ Grief / Depression/ Despair/ Powerlessness

Since t he same words are of t en used t o mean dif f erent t hings, and dif f erent words are of t en used t o
mean t he same t hings, t hese word labels f or your emot ions are not absolut ely accurat e f or every person
who f eels t he emot ion. In f act , giving word labels t o t he emot ions could cause conf usion and dist ract you
f rom t he real purpose of your Emot ional Guidance Scale.
The t hing t hat mat t ers most is t hat you consciously reach f or a f eeling t hat is improved. The word f or t he
f eeling is not import ant .
 An Example of Consciously Moving Up Your Emotional Guidance Scale

So, somet hing has happened in your experience t hat makes you f eel t errible. Not hing sounds good,
not hing f eels good, it seems as it you are suf f ocat ing, and each t hought is equally painf ul. The best word
t o describe your nearly const ant st at e of emot ion is one of depression.
If you could t hrow yourself int o t aking some act ion, you might t eel bet t er; if you could put what is
bot hering you out of your mind alt oget her and f ocus upon your work, you could f eel bet t er. There are
many t hought s t hat you could ent ert ain t hat could f ree you f rom your depression. However, vibrat ionally,
you do not have access t o most of t hem right now. But if your int ent ion is t o f ind a t hought , any t hought ,
t hat f eels bet t er, and you are consciously aware of how t hat t hought f eels, you can begin t o move up t he
Emot ional Guidance Scale immediat ely. It is really a process of t hinking a t hought , any t hought , and t hen
consciously evaluat ing whet her t he new t hought gives you any f eeling of relief f rom where you were
bef ore t hat t hought . So, you t hink and f eel and t hink and f eel, wit h one int ent ion only: t o f eel even t he
slight est bit of relief .
Let us say t hat someone has said somet hing t hat made you angry, or someone did not keep her word. And
as you f ocus upon t his angry t opic, you not ice t hat you do f eel some relief f rom your depression. In ot her
words, in t he midst of t his angry t hought , you are no longer having any t rouble breat hing. The f eeling of
claust rophobia has lif t ed, and you do f eel slight ly bet t er.
Now, here is t he crucial st ep in ef f ect ively ut ilizing your Emot ional Guidance Syst em: St op, and
consciously acknowledge t hat your chosen t hought of anger does f eel bet t er t han t he suf f ocat ing
depression t hat it replaced. And in t he conscious recognit ion of your improved vibrat ion, your f eeling of
powerlessness sof t ens and you are now on you way up your Emot ional Guidance Scale, back int o f ull
connect ion wit h who you really are.

Why Would Anyone Want to Discourage My Better-Feeling Anger?

Of t en, f rom a very resist ant vibrat ion such as depression or f ear, you will have already, inst inct ively, even
unconsciously, discovered t he pain-relieving t hought of anger. But t here are so many who have convinced
you t hat your anger is inappropriat e—but of course, t hey are not inside of you, so t hey cannot f eel t he
improvement t hat t he angry t hought really is—t hat t hey of t en counsel you against your anger. . . only t o
leave you back in your f ormer st at e of depression. But when you consciously know t hat you have chosen
an angry t hought and t hat it has brought you relief , t hen you can consciously know t hat you can move
f rom t he angry t hought t o a less resist ant one such as f rust rat ion, and t hen up t he Emot ional Guidance
Scale you go—right back int o your f ull alignment .

Why Your Slightest Improvement Is of Such Great Value

When you are consciously aware of where you are, and you also know where you would like t o be, and you
have a means of underst anding whet her or not you are point ed in t he direct ion of where you want t o be. . .
t hen not hing can keep you t here. The seeming lack of cont rol of your lif e experience is most ly because
you do not realize in which direct ion you are headed. Wit hout a conscious realizat ion of your own
emot ions and what t hey mean, you of t en move away f rom where you really want t o be.
There are many words t hat are used t o describe emot ions, but t here are really only t wo emot ions: One
f eels good, and one f eels bad. And every increment al place along t he emot ional scale only indicat es
degrees of t he allowance of t he powerf ul, pure, posit ive Source Energy. The f ullest st at e of connect ion,
which f eels like j oy, love, appreciat ion, f reedom, or knowledge, is really speaking t o your own f eeling of
self -empowerment . And t he f ullest st at e of disconnect ion, which f eels like despair, grief , f ear, or
depression, is really speaking t o your own f eeling of disempowerment .
There is t remendous value when you are able t o deliberat ely cause even t he slight est improvement in t he
way you f eel, f or even in t hat small emot ional improvement , you may have regained a measure of
cont rol. And even t hough you may not have f ully exercised your cont rol t o bring yourself ent irely back
int o f ull connect ion wit h your f ull power, you no longer f eel powerless. And so, you t rek back up t he
emot ional scale is now not only possible, but it is relat ively easy.
 Only You Know If Choosing Anger Is Appropriate for You

If a severely depressed person could consciously discover t he relief of an angry t hought , and, more
import ant , could consciously recognize t hat he has deliberat ely chosen t he angry t hought , he would
immediat ely regain a sense of his own power, and his depression would lif t . Now, of course, it is
import ant t hat he does not remain in his place of anger. But , f rom t hat angry place, he now has access t o
t he relieving t hought s of f rust rat ion.
There are many who do not yet underst and t he vibrat ional cont ent of emot ions (or even what an emot ion
is or it s reason f or being) who counsel wit h great f orcef ulness against t he proj ect ion of anger. For most
people do not enj oy being in t he presence of someone who is angry, and most would self ishly pref er t hat
t he angry person ret urn t o t heir f ormer st at e of powerless depression, because t heir depression is usually
t urned inward, while t heir anger is of t en t hrust out ward t oward whoever is nearby.
Someone out side of you does not know if your chosen t hought of anger is an improvement f or you; only
you know—by t he relief t hat you f eel— t he appropriat eness of any t hought . Unt il you decide t hat you are
going t o guide yourself by t he way you f eel, you can make no st eady progress t oward your own desires.

“ I’ m Doing My Best to Make the Best of It”

Those who are wat ching you might f eel bet t er if t hey underst ood t hat you have no int ent ion of remaining
in your st at e of anger. If t hey knew t hat your great er plan is t o move t hrough your anger, and t hen
t hrough f rust rat ion t hrough overwhelment t o opt imism t o belief and onward t o your knowing t hat all is
well, t hey might be more pat ient wit h where you are right now.
There are many people who j ust nat urally move f rom t he powerless f eeling of depression or f ear int o
anger as a sort of self -surviving mechanism, but when t hey are met wit h so much disapproval f rom f amily
members, f riends, and counselors wit h respect t o t he inap-propriat eness of t heir anger, t hey ret urn t o
t he f eeling of power-lessness, only t o repeat t he cycle again and again: f rom depression t o anger, t o
depression t o anger, t o depression t o anger. . .
The key t o regaining your wonderf ul f eeling of personal empowerment and cont rol is t o decide, right now,
no mat t er how good or how bad you are f eeling, t hat you are going t o do your best t o make t he best of it .
Reach f or t he best -f eeling t hought t hat you have access t o right now, and as you do t hat again and again,
in a short period of t ime you will f ind yourself in a very good-f eeling place. That is j ust t he way it works!

“ If I Can Get There Emotionally, I Can Get Anywhere”

“ Right now I am going t o f ind t he best -f eeling t hought t hat I can. I am going t o reach f or more relief ,
more relief , more relief . ” Remember:
• Rage gives you a f eeling of relief f rom depression, grief , despair, f ear, guilt , or powerlessness.
• Revenge gives you a f eeling of relief f rom rage.
• Anger gives you a f eeling of relief f rom revenge.
• Blame gives you a f eeling of relief f rom anger.
• Overwhelment gives you a f eeli ng of relief f rom blame.
• Irrit at ion gives you a f eeling of relief f rom overwhelment .
• Pessimism gives you a f eeling of relief f rom irrit at ion.
• Hopef ulness gives you a f eeling of relief f rom pessimism.
• Opt imism gives you a f eelingof relief f rom hopef ulness.
• Posit ive Expect at ion gives you a f eeling of relief f rom opt imism.
• Joy gives you a f eeling of relief f rom posit ive expect at ion.

In t ime, and wit h pract ice, you will become very adept at underst anding what your Emot ional Guidance
Syst em is t elling you. Once you make a det ermined decision t o cont inually reach f or t he relief t hat an
improved emot ion brings, you will f ind yourself f eeling good most of t he t ime, and allowing int o your
experience all t he t hings you desire.
At t ent ion t o how you are f eel ing is necessary in order t o underst and everyt hing t hat is happening t o you.
How you f eel—and t he f eeling of relief t hat you discover as you reach f or bet t er-f eeling t hought s—is your
only t rue measurement of what you are at t ract ing int o your experience.
 “ But What about Those Who Desire Not to Desire?”

We would describe t he sensat ion of desire as t he delicious awareness of new possibilit ies. Desire is a
f resh, f ree f eeling of ant icipat ing wonderf ul expansion. The f eeling of desire is t ruly t he f eeling of lif e
f lowing t hrough you. But many people, while t hey are using t he word desire, f eel somet hing quit e
dif f erent . Desire, f or t hem, of t en f eels like yearning, f or while t hey are f ocused upon somet hing t hat t hey
want t o experience or have, t hey are equally aware of it s absence. And so, while t hey are using words of
desire, t hey are of f ering a vibrat ion of lack. They come t o t hink t hat t he f eeling of desire is like want ing
somet hing t hat t hey do not have. But t here is no f eeling of lack in pure desire.
So, if you will keep in mind t hat whenever you ask, it is always given—t hen each of your desires will now
be pure non-resist ed desire.
Many people desire t hings t hat t hey are not current ly living f ully, and in some cases t hey have desired
t hem f or a long period of t ime. And so, t hey t hink about t he t hing t hey desire, and t hen t hey t hink about
not having it . In t ime, t hey come t o believe t hat t he way t hey f eel (as t hey t hink about what t hey want ,
and realize t hey do not have it , but cannot f igure out how t o get it ) is t he way desire f eels. But t hey are
not in t he st at e of pure desire; t hey are in t he st at e of resist ed desire. Of t en t heir vibrat ion is more about
t he absence or lack of what t hey want t han it is about what t hey want .
Wit hout even realizing what t hey are doing, t hey are holding t hemselves vibrat ionally apart f rom t heir
own desires, so in t ime t hey come t o believe t hat t his sluggish, unf ulf illed f eeling of not get t ing what t hey
want is really what desire f eels like.
There have been some who have said t o us, “ Abraham, I’ ve been t aught t hat it ’ s not appropriat e f or me
t o have any desires. I’ ve been t aught t hat t he st at e of desire will keep me f rom being t he spirit ual Being
t hat I’ m supposed t o be, and t hat my st at e of happiness depends upon my abilit y t o release all desires. ”
We reply, But is not your st at e of happiness, or your st at e of spirit ualit y, a desire?
We are not here t o guide you t oward, or away f rom, any desire. It is our work t o help you underst and t hat
you are t he creat or of your own experience and t hat your desires will nat urally be born f rom your
experience in t his environment , in t his body. It is our desire t o assist you in coming int o perf ect alignment
wit h Source so t hat you can t hen achieve t he creat ion of your desires.
We underst and why some would suggest t hat if you would release your desire, you would f eel bet t er,
because t he negat ive emot ion t hat you are f eeling is due t o t he vibrat ional dif f erence bet ween your
current vibrat ion and t he vibrat ion of your desire. But releasing desire is t he hard way t o go about
bringing yourself int o alignment , because t he ent ire Universe is poised t o help you give birt h t o yet
anot her new desire. So, a much easier way t o come int o alignment wit h your Source, and t heref ore t o
f eel bet t er, is t o work on releasing your resist ance.

Does Your Desire Feel Like the Next Logical Step?

Your abilit y t o imagine will help t he next logical st eps come t o you f ast er. You can work t he bugs out of it
in your imaginat ion; you do not have t o build lit t le t hings and bigger t hings—you can do it all in your
mind. We are not t alking about t he next logical act ion st ep. We are t alking about using your imaginat ion
unt il your big dream f eels so f amiliar t hat t he manif est at ion is t he next logical st ep.
For example, a mot her and her adult daught er were cont emplat ing purchasing a lovely house in a
beaut if ul area and creat ing a wonderf ul bed-and-breakf ast f acilit y. The daught er said t o her mot her, “ If
only we could f ind a way t o make t his happen, it would make me happy f or t he rest of my lif e. If t his
could happen, it would make up f or all of t hose t hings t hat I want ed t hat didn’ t come t o pass. ”
We explained t hat t he vibrat ion of her desire was not yet in t he pure place t hat it needed t o be in order
t o allow t his experience t o manif est . When your desire f eels so big t hat it f eels unreachable, it is not on
t he verge of manif est at ion. When your desire f eels t o you like it is t he next logical st ep, t hen it is on t he
verge of manif est at ion.

Once You Feel in Control, You Will Enj oy It All

You can t ell by t he way you f eel whet her your vibrat ion is in t he place where you are allowing Universal
Forces t o deliver your desire t o you now. . . or not . Wit h pract ice, you will know whet her you are on t he
brink of a manif est at ion or whet her it is st ill in t he becoming st ages, but most import ant , once you are in
cont rol of t he way you f eel, you will enj oy it all:
• You will enj oy your exposure t o t he variet y and cont rast t hat helps you ident if y your desire, and you
will enj oy t he sensat ion of your own desire, which is being launched f rom your own valuable perspect ive
and
is f lowing f rom you.
• You will enj oy t he sensat ion of your conscious awareness when you are not a vibrat ional mat ch t o your
own desire, and you will enj oy t he sensat ion of deliberat ely bringing yourself back int o vibrat ional
alignment wit h your desire.
• You will f eel relief as doubt s slip away, and ast he secure f eelings of Well-Being replace t hem.
• You will enj oy sensing t hings t hat are about t o happen, you will enj oy seeing t hings beginning t o f all
int o place, and you will adore wit nessing t he manif est at ions of your desires.
• You will revel in t he conscious awareness t hat you have deliberat ely molded your desires int o being in
as real a way as if you had creat ed a st at ue wit h t he clay in your own hands.
• You will adore t he sensat ions you f eel as you align, again and again, wit h t he f ruit s of your own
experience.
The ent ire Universe exist s t o produce new lif e-giving desire wit hin you, and when you go wit h t he f low of
your own desires, you will f eel t ruly alive—and you will t ruly live.

t aking t hought beyond t hat which it has been bef ore.
You now remember t hat you have a guidance syst em wit hin you t hat helps you t o know, in every moment ,
how much of your connect ion t o t hat which is your Source you are right now allowing. You now remember
t hat t he bet t er you f eel, t he more you are in alignment wit h who you really are; and t he worse you f eel,
t he more you are disallowing t hat import ant connect ion.
You now remember t hat t here is not hing t hat you cannot be, do, or have; and you remember t hat if your
dominant int ent ion is t o f eel good and t hat if you t ry t o make t he best of where you are, you must reach
your nat ural st at e of j oy.
You now remember t hat you are f ree (in f act , you are so f ree t hat you could choose bondage), and t hat
everyt hing t hat comes t o you is in response t o t he t hought s you are t hinking.
You now remember t hat whet her you are t hinking about your past , present , or f ut ure, you are of f ering a
vibrat ion t hat equals your point of at t ract ion.
You now remember t hat t he Law of At t ract ion is always f air, and t here is no inj ust ice—f or what ever is
coming t o you is doing so in response t o t he vibrat ions t hat you are of f ering due t o t he t hought s you are
t hinking.
And, most import ant , you now remember t hat Well-Being is t he basis of your world, and t hat unless you
are doing somet hing t hat is disallowing it , t hen Well-Being is your experience. You may allow it or resist
it , but only a St ream of wellness, abundance, clarit y, and all good t hings t hat you desire. . . f lows.
And you now remember t hat t here is no dark swit ch; t here is no Source of “ evil” or Source of sickness or
lack. You may allow or you may resist Well-Being—but everyt hing t hat happens t o you is all your doing.

Is There Something I Want to Improve?

If your current lif e is pleasing t o you in every way, t hen you may have no reason t o read f urt her.
However, if t here is somet hing about your lif e t hat you wish t o improve—perhaps somet hing missing t hat
you would like t o include or somet hing unwant ed t hat you would like t o release—t he f ollowing processes
will be of immense value t o you.
Your habit of resist ant t hought is t he only t hing t hat ever keeps you f rom allowing t he t hings you desire.
And alt hough you cert ainly did not int ent ionally develop t hese resist ant pat t erns of t hought , you did pick
t hem up along your physical t rail, bit by bit and experience by experience. But one t hing is very clear: If
you do not do somet hing t hat causes a dif f erent vibrat ional of f ering, t hen not hing in your experience can
change.
The processes on t he f ollowing pages have been designed t o help you gradually release any pat t erns of
resist ance. And, in t he same way t hat you did not develop your resist ant pat t erns all at once, you will not
release t hem all at once—but you will release t hem. Pr ocess by process, game by game (we use t he word
game int erchangeably wit h process), and day by day, you will gradually but st eadily ret urn t o being a
person who allows your own nat ural Well-Being t o f low t o you.
Those who observe you will be amazed at t he t hings t hey begin t o see happening in your experience and
at t he j oy t hat you will obviously be radiat ing. And you will explain, wit h t he conf idence and cert aint y
t hat you were born wit h, “ I have f ound a way t o allow t he Well-Being t o f low t hat is nat ural t o me. I have
learned t o pract ice t he Art of Allowing. ”

A Suggestion for Utilizing These Processes

So, it is wit h t remendous ent husiasm and powerf ul expect at ion t hat we of f er t he processes t hat will
f ollow short ly. When you have t ime, we encourage you t o read t hrough each process wit hout act ually
perf orming t he act ion t hat is suggest ed. As you read t hrough t he processes, if t hey hold any immediat e
value f or you, you will f eel a st rong impulse t o perf orm t hem. You might earmark t hose t hat you f eel
ent husiasm t oward. Then, when you have t he t ime t o perf orm t he processes, begin wit h t he one f or which
you f elt t he most ent husiasm. This is t he best place f or you t o st art .
Act ually, you could choose any process at random, perf orm it , and receive not iceable benef it s f rom it , f or
every process in t his book will assist you in releasing resist ance and raising your vibrat ion. However, t he
power of your desire and t he degree of your current resist ance does make cert ain processes of great er
value t o you right now t han ot hers.
As you read t hrough t hese processes, and t he examples of applicat ions t hat are provided, you may
recognize t hat somet hing similar is happening in your own lif e, so you may benef it f rom applying t he same
process. However, because your own lif e of f ers a broad spect rum of experiences as well as a broad
spect rum of emot ions, t here are no hard-and-f ast rules about which specif ic process is best f or you t o
apply t o which specif ic experience right now.

Let Us Remove the Trees from Our Path

Some of t he processes will assist you in f ocusing your desire more clearly, causing your point of at t ract ion
t o be st ronger. But if , f or what ever reason, you are in t he midst of of f ering a great deal of resist ance,
t hen a process t hat would cause you t o summon even more Energy could act ually be count erproduct ive t o
you.
Earlier we gave you t he example of driving your vehicle at 100 miles per hour and hit t ing a t ree, which is
a much bigger problem t han driving your vehicle at 5 miles per hour and hit t ing a t ree. Now, in our
analogy, t he speed of your vehicle equals t he Creat ive Energy t hat you are summoning because of your
desire, and t he t ree equals your cont radict ory t hought s, or resist ance. Of t en, people conclude t hat t he
only opt ion t hat makes sense is t o slow t he vehicle down—but we are t eachers who encourage removing
t he t rees f rom your pat h.
The processes we present in t his book are designed t o help you remove t he resist ance f rom your pat h, f or
t here is not hing more delicious t han moving at t he speed of lif e t hat you are accust omed t o—wit h no t rees
in t he way.

Let Your Emotions Be Your Guide

You are, wit hout except ion, experiencing emot ional responses t o your lif e experience, and t hese
emot ions are your key t o knowing which processes would be best f or you t o ut ilize right now. Generally
speaking, t he bet t er you f eel, t he more t he lower-numbered processes will be of benef it f or you; and t he
worse you f eel, t he more t he higher-numbered processes will be of benef it .
The most import ant t hing f or you t o acknowledge bef ore you apply any of t hese processes is how you are
f eeling right now—and how you would like t o f eel. At t he beginning of each process, we have indicat ed an
emot ional range t hat we suggest f or each one. Any of t he processes f all wit hin t he emot ional range t hat
you believe you are f eeling right now is a perf ect place t o begin.

Let Us Begin by Improving the Way We Feel

Some of t he processes are orient ed t oward specif ic lif e experiences, such as increasing your f inancial or
physical Well-Being, but t he maj orit y of t hese processes can be successf ully applied t o any sit uat ion.
It is our absolut e promise t o you t hat your lif e will improve wit h t he applicat ion of t hese processes, f or
you cannot apply t he process wit hout improving t he way you f eel. And you cannot improve t he way you
f eel wit hout releasing resist ance and t hereby improving your point of at t ract ion. And when you improve
your point of at t ract ion, t he Law of At t ract ion must bring you circumst ances, event s, relat ionships,
experiences, sensat ions, and powerf ul evidence of your shif t in vibrat ion. It is Law!
Some of t hese processes will become your f avorit es. Some you will want t o ut ilize every day, some you
may never use, some you may use at f irst and t hen no longer f ind necessary, and some you will resurrect
when special circumst ances arise.
It is our desire t hat you comf ort ably begin t o ut ilize t hese processes, f or it is our knowing t hat t hey will
posit ively change your lif e experience. From our perspect ive, t hey have been designed f or t he powerf ul
reason of helping you realign wit h t he Energy t hat is really You. And in t hat process, you will ret urn t o
your nat ural j oy. Oh, and yes, t here will be t he added side benef it of helping you achieve anyt hing you
have ever desired.

Have You Put a Happy Face on It?

Our emot ions are essent ial t o your conscious cont rol of your own experience. And, of course, t hey are
essent ial t o your maint enance of a happy lif e experience.
In t he same way t hat you would not deaden your f ingert ips t o desensit ize t hem t o heat , or put a “ Happy
Face” st icker on t he dashboard of your vehicle t o cover your f uel gauge indicat or because you do not like
seeing t hat you are out of f uel, you would not want t o mask your own f eelings, pret ending t o f eel
dif f erent f rom how you really f eel. For pret ending in t his way does not hing t o change your vibrat ional
point of at t ract ion. The only way you can do so is t o change your vibrat ional of f ering, and when you do
change your vibrat ional of f ering, t he way you f eel changes, t oo.

Focusing Energy to Change Your Vibrational Offering

When you remember an incident f rom a past experience, you are f ocusing Energy. When you are
imagining somet hing t hat may occur in your f ut ure, you are f ocusing Energy, and, of course, when you are
observing somet hing in your now, you are f ocusing Energy. It makes no dif f erence whet her you are
f ocusing on t he past , present , or f ut ure, you are st ill f ocusing Energy—and your point of at t ent ion or f ocus
is causing you t o of f er a vibrat ion t hat is your point of at t ract ion.
When you spend t ime pondering, remembering, or imagining somet hing, a vibrat ion is act ivat ed wit hin
you. If you ret urn t o t hat t hought , you again act ivat e t he vibrat ion. The more of t en you revisit t he
t hought , t he more f amiliar t he vibrat ion becomes, and t he easier it is f or you t o act ivat e it , unt il
event ually it becomes a dominant vibrat ional pat t ern wit hin you. And as it plays a larger role in your
vibrat ional pat t ern, t hings t hat mat ch it begin t o show up in your experience.
And so, t here are t wo suref ire ways t o underst and what your vibrat ional of f ering is: Not ice what is
happening in your experience (f or what you are f ocused upon and what is manif est ing are always a
vibrat ional mat ch), and not ice how you f eel (because your emot ions are giving you const ant f eedback
about your vibrat ional of f ering and your point of at t ract ion).

You Must Be Consciously Aware to Be a Deliberate Creator

We t hink it is a wonderf ul t hing when you begin t o make t he correlat ion bet ween what you have been
t hinking and f eeling, and what is manif est ing. For in t hat conscious awareness, you are t hen able t o
deliberat ely modif y your t hought s in order t o at t ract somet hing t hat is even more pleasing. But t he most
sat isf ying aspect of Deliberat e Creat ion comes f rom being sensit ive t o t he way t he t hought s you are
t hinking f eel, f or t hen it is possible t o modif y a bad-f eeling t hought t o one t hat f eels bet t er, and t o
t hereby improve your point of at t ract ion bef ore somet hing unwant ed manif est s. It is f ar easier—bef ore an
unwant ed physical manif est at ion appears—t o deliberat ely change t he direct ion of your t hought t o
somet hing t hat f eels bet t er.
You will come t o underst and t hat Deliberat e Creat ion is about deliberat ely guiding your t hought s in good-
f eeling direct ions. You will f eel t he sat isf act ion of deliberat ely choosing a good-f eeling t hought , and t hen
you will enj oy observing t he good-f eeling manif est at ion t hat must f ollow. There is even some sat isf act ion
t o be f ound in recognizing t he not -so-good-f eeling t hought and t hen observing t he not -so-good-
manif est at ion t hat must f ollow, f or now your conscious awareness of t he powerf ul Law of At t ract ion will
give you t he f eeling of cont rol. Wit hout making t he correlat ion bet ween your t hought s and f eelings and
t he manif est at ions t hat are occurring, you have no conscious cont rol of what happens in your experience.

There Is Always Another Uncontrollable Circumstance When Trying to Control Others

Most people of f er t he maj orit y of t heir t hought vibrat ions in response t o somet hing t hey are observing.
When t hey observe somet hing wonderf ul, t hey f eel wonderf ul; when t hey observe somet hing awf ul, t hey
f eel awf ul, but t hey believe t hey have no cont rol over how t hey f eel because t hey realize t hat t hey
cannot cont rol t he circumst ances t hat t hey have observed.
Many people spend t he maj orit y of t heir lives at t empt ing t o cont rol circumst ances because t hey believe
t hat in t he cont rolling of t he circumst ance, t hey will f eel bet t er. But no mat t er how much cont rol t hey
gain over t he act ions of ot hers, it is never enough— because t here is always anot her uncont rollable
circumst ance.
You have no creat ive power wit hin t he lives of ot hers, f or t hey are of f ering t heir own vibrat ions, which
equal t heir own point of at t ract ion, j ust as you are of f ering your own vibrat ions, which equal your own
point of at t ract ion.

Deliberate Creation Is about Choosing Better-Feeling Thoughts

Many say, “ Once t hat condit ion changes, I’ ll f eel bet t er. When I have more money or move int o a bet t er
house or f ind a bet t er j ob or a bet t er mat e, t hen I’ ll f eel bet t er. ” We do not disagree t hat it does f eel
bet t er t o observe somet hing t hat is pleasing t han somet hing t hat is not , but t hat is going about it in a
very backwards way.
Deliberat e Creat ion is not about t he condit ion changing and t hen your f inding a bet t er f eeling in response
t o t he changed condit ion. Deliberat e Creat ion is about choosing a t hought t hat f eels good when you
choose it , which t hen causes t he condit ion t o change. For example, uncondit ional love is really about
want ing so much t o remain in connect ion wit h your Source of love t hat you deliberat ely choose t hought s
t hat allow your connect ion, no mat t er what manif est at ions may be happening nearby. And when you are
able t o cont rol your point of at t ract ion by deliberat ely choosing bet t er-f eeling t hought s, t he condit ions
t hat surround you have t o change. The Law of At t ract ion says t hat t hey must .

How Can Only Attract Thoughts Within Your Vibrational Range

Some say, “ All t his st uf f about Deliberat e Creat ion sounds simple enough, but why am I having so much
dif f icult y doing it ? Why do I have such a hard t ime cont rolling my t hought s? It f eels like my t hought s are in
charge! It f eels like my t hought s are t hinking t hemselves! ”
Well, remember t hat t he Law of At t ract ion is a powerf ul Law, and t hat it is not possible f or you t o f ind
and hold a t hought if your current vibrat ional set -point is very dif f erent f rom t hat t hought . You only have
access t o t hought s whose vibrat ions are somewhere in your current vibrat ional range.
Have you ever had t he experience of enj oying a piece of music, t hen lat er hearing t he same music, but
t his t ime not enj oying it at all. At one list ening, you were smiling, maybe even moving t o t he music, but
at anot her list ening, you f ound t he piece irrit at ing and annoying. What you are not icing is your vibrat ional
alignment wit h t he music. In ot her words, at your t ime of closer alignment wit h who you really are, t he
music blends wit h your good f eeling. But when you are not in alignment wit h who you really are, t he
music only point s out t o you t he dif f erence bet ween t he vibrat ion of Well-Being, which is who you really
are, and your resist ant vibrat ion of t his moment .
There are t hose t imes when f riends can prod or t ease you int o a bet t er-f eeling t hought , but at ot her
t imes t heir prodding or t easing j ust makes you f eel worse. Any success t hey may have had in helping you
f eel bet t er has been, f or t he most part , about how f ar out of alignment you already were, because while
it is easy t o make small vibrat ional j umps, it is dif f icult , or even impossible, t o make large ones.

The Purpose of These Processes Is to Release Your Resistance

You will f ind, in t he pages t hat f ollow, processes t hat are being of f ered t o assist you in gradually
improving your vibrat ional point of at t ract ion. Your current vibrat ional st at e of being is one t hat varies
f rom person t o person and f rom t ime t o t ime, so you will know— only by t he way you f eel as you
experience t he process—whet her it is t he appropriat e process f or you right now.
Through observing, remembering, pondering, and discussing, you have pract iced t hought s t hat have
become more powerf ul t hought s or belief s, which now dominat e your point of at t ract ion. And each
t hought you consider or f ocus upon causes you t o f eel an emot ional response. And so, over t ime, you have
come t o f eel cert ain ways about cert ain t hings. We call t hat your Emot ional Set -Point
The f ollowing processes are numbered 1 t hrough 22. The closer you are, right now, t o vibrat ional
alignment wit h your own Source of Well-Being, t he more ef f ect ive t he lower-numbered t echniques will be
in helping you t o f ully realign. The f urt her you are, right now, f rom your vibrat ional alignment wit h
Source, t he higher t he number of t he process will have t o be in order t o bring you back int o alignment .
Now you may be one who is usually so close t o alignment wit h your own Source of Well-Being t hat you will
rarely ut ilize one of t hese processes t hat is past t he number of Process #12. But t here may be some
special circumst ances t hat could cause your vibrat ion t o dip f urt her out of your usual range of connect ion,
and if so, t hen you may benef it f rom one of t he higher-numbered processes— but t hat would be an
except ion f or you.

Deliberately Creating Change in Your Current Emotional Set-Point

On t he ot her hand, you may be one who cannot remember t he last t ime you f elt good about anyt hing.
Through t he circumst ances of your lif e t hat you have been observing, you may have developed a set -point
t hat holds you consist ent ly out of range of your connect ion t o Well-Being, so you may discover no relief at
all wit h t he f irst f ive or six processes. And you may f ind only slight relief if you even begin wit h t he last
processes we have of f ered here. But t he most import ant t hing we want you t o realize is t hat it does not
mat t er how good you f eel or how f ast you f eel it —t he only t hing t hat mat t ers is t hat you consciously
discover some relief , no mat t er how slight it is, and t hat you underst and t hat your relief has come in
response t o some deliberat e ef f ort t hat you have of f ered. For when you are able t o f ind relief , t hen you
have regained creat ive cont rol of your own experience, and t hen you are on your way t o wherever you
desire t o go.
Remember, t he purpose of each process is t o raise your vibrat ional f requency. Anot her way of saying t hat
is: The purpose of each process is t o release your resist ance, or The purpose of t he process is t o f ind t he
relief f rom resist ance, or The purpose of t his process is an improved f eeling, or The purpose of t his
process is t o improve my Emot ional Set -Point .
If , af t er a f ew minut es wit h a process, you do not f eel as good or bet t er t han when you began, simply
discont inue it and choose anot her wit h a higher number.

Lighten Up Now, and Have Fun with All This

We use t he words process, t echnique, or game int erchangeably because, while t hese are powerf ul
processes t hat will assist you in achieving anyt hing t hat you desire, if you will t ake a playf ul approach t o
t hem, you will hold f ar less resist ance t han if you see t hem as t ools t o f ix somet hing t hat is broken. The
key t o t he success t hat you will f ind in t hese processes act ually hinges upon your abilit y t o release
resist ance, and t he more playf ul you are, t he less resist ance you hold.
A deliberat e ut ilizat ion of t hese processes will help you move your Emot ional Set -Point , and t heref ore
change your point of at t ract ion. You will begin t o observe immediat e improvement —even on your f irst day
of t he applicat ion of t hese games. And wit h more pract ice, you will improve your point of at t ract ion on
every subj ect of your lif e.

You Are, in This Moment, the Creator of Your Reality

You are t he creat or of your own experience whet her you know t hat you are or not . Your lif e experience is
unf olding in precise response t o t he vibrat ions t hat radiat e as a result of your t hought s, whet her you know
t hat it is or not .
The processes t hat we of f er here will help you t ransf orm yourself f rom one who may be creat ing your own
realit y unwit t ingly or by def ault , t o someone who is t he deliberat e creat or of your own realit y. Your
ut ilizat ion of t hese processes is going t o give you precise cont rol of every aspect of your own lif e

It is wit h t remendous love and ent husiasm t hat we of f er t hese lif e-changing processes t o you. There is
great love here. . . f or you.
 Process #1 The Rampage of Appreciation

When t o Use This Process:

• When you want t o parlay a good mood int o an evenbet t er one.
• When you want t o enhance your relat ionship wit h someone or somet hing.
• When you want t o deliberat ely maint ain your current good-f eeling set -point .
• When you want t o maint ain or even improve your current good f eeling.
• When you want t o deliberat ely f ocus upon somet hing t hat is benef icial t o your set -point .
• When you are driving, walking, or st anding in line, and you want t o do somet hing t hat is creat ively
product ive.
• When t here is somet hing in your line of sight t hat could pot ent ially t ake you t o a place of negat ive
emot ion, and you want t o maint ain cont rol of your own vibrat ion.
• When your own t hought s, or t he words of someone you are wit h, st art of f in a pot ent ially negat ive
direct ion, and you want t o cont rol t he direct ion of t he subj ect mat t er.
• When you are aware t hat you are experiencing negat ive emot ion and you want t o change t he way you
f eel.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Rampage of Appreciat ion Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is
ranging somewhere bet ween: (1) Joy/ Knowledge/ Empowerment / Freedom/ Love/ Appreciat ion and (5)
Opt imism.
(If you are not sure what your current Emot ional Set -Point is, t urn back t o Chapt er 22 and scan t he 22
cat egories on t he Emot ional Guidance Scale. )
So, let us say t hat you are f eeling Posit ive Expect at ion. Since Posit ive Expect at ion is ranked at (4), and (4)
f alls bet ween t he (1) and (5) suggest ed current Emot ional Set -Point Range f or t he Rampage of
Appreciat ion, t his process would be one of t he most valuable ones f or you t o use right now.
This Rampage of Appreciat ion game can be played anywhere and at any t ime because it is a game t hat is
easily played simply by direct ing pleasant t hought s in your mind. If you were t o writ e your t hought s on
paper, it would enhance t his process, but it is not necessary.
Begin by looking around your immediat e environment and gent ly not icing somet hing t hat pleases you. Try
t o hold your at t ent ion on t his pleasing obj ect as you consider how wonderf ul, beaut if ul, or usef ul it is.
And as you f ocus upon it longer, your posit ive f eelings about it will increase.
Now, not ice your improved f eeling, and be appreciat ive of t he way you f eel. Then, once your good f eeling
is not iceably st ronger t han when you began, look around your environment and choose anot her pleasing
obj ect f or your posit ive at t ent ion.
Make it your obj ect ive t o choose obj ect s of at t ent ion t hat easily evoke your appreciat ion, f or t his is not a
process of f inding somet hing t roubling and f ixing it ; t his is a process of pract icing t he higher vibrat ions.
The longer you f ocus upon t hings t hat f eel good t o you, t he easier it is f or you t o maint ain t hose
vibrat ional f requencies t hat f eel good. And t he more you maint ain t hese good-f eeling f requencies, t he
more t he Law of At t ract ion will deliver t o you ot her t hought s, experiences, people, and t hings t hat mat ch
your pract iced vibrat ion.
Since it is your primary int ent ion, as you move t hrough your day, t o f ind t hings t o appreciat e, you are
pract icing a vibrat ion of less resist ance, and you are making your connect ion t o your own Source Energy
st ronger.
Because t he vibrat ion of appreciat ion is t he most powerf ul connect ion bet ween t he physical you and t he
Non-Physical You, t his process will also put you in a posit ion t o receive even clearer guidance f rom your
Inner Being.
The more you pract ice appreciat ion, t he less resist ance you will have in your own vibrat ional f requencies.
And t he less resist ance you have, t he bet t er your lif e will be. Also, by pract icing t his Rampage of
Appreciat ion, you will become accust omed t o t he f eeling of higher vibrat ions, so t hat if you ever revert t o
an old pat t ern of conversat ion t hat causes resist ance in your vibrat ion, you will not ice it , early on, bef ore
t he vibrat ion get s t oo st rong.
The more you f ind somet hing t o appreciat e, t he bet t er it f eels; t he bet t er it f eels, t he more you want t o
do it ; t he more you do it , t he bet t er it f eels; t he bet t er it f eels. . . t he more you want t o do it . The Law of
At t ract ion assist s wit h t he powerf ul moment um of t hese posit ive t hought s and f eelings unt il, wit h very
lit t le t ime and ef f ort , you will f ind your heart singing in your j oyous alignment wit h who you really are.
And in t his wonderf ul-f eeling vibrat ion where no resist ance exist s, you will be in an exaggerat ed st at e of
allowing; you will be in t he vibrat ional st at e where t he t hings t hat you desire can f low easily int o your
experience. The bet t er it get s, t he bet t er it get s!
If your vibrat ion is in a close enough proximit y t o t hese higher vibrat ions when you begin t he game, and
you f ind yourself easily and quickly soaring int o t he bet t er-f eeling places—t hen cont inue your Rampage of
Appreciat ion f or as long as you have t he t ime, and f or as long as it f eels good.
If you at t empt t his game and you do not f eel good, if you do not f eel t he moment um picking up as you
f ocus upon one happy t hought af t er anot her—t hat is, if t he process annoys you in any way—t hen
discont inue it and choose a process wit h a higher number.
Even if you underst and not hing about t he Law of At t ract ion, even if you underst and not hing about your
connect ion t o your own Source Energy, pract icing t his process would cause you t o pract ice t he Art of
Allowing wit hout even knowing it —and all t hings t hat you have ident if ied as obj ect s of your desire would
have t o begin f lowing int o your experience. When you are in t he mode of appreciat ion, t here is no
resist ance wit hin your vibrat ion. And your own achievement of resist ance is t he only t hing t hat ever holds
you apart f rom anyt hing t hat you desire.
In t he Rampage of Appreciat ion, you act ually set your vibrat ional f requency t o one of allowing what you
have asked f or int o your experience. You have been asking, in every day of your experience, and Source
has answered, wit hout except ion. And now, in your mode of Appreciat ion, you are in t he pract ice of
receiving. You are now engaging in t he last st ep in t he process of Creat ion (you are let t ing it in).
At f irst , it would be a good idea t o deliberat ely set aside 10 or 15 minut es a day t o specif ically do t his
process. Af t er a f ew days of enj oying t he benef it of deliberat ely achieving and maint aining a raised
vibrat ion, you will f ind yourself doing it many t imes during every day, a f ew seconds here and a f ew
seconds t here, in a variet y of sit uat ions, j ust because it f eels so pleasing.
For example, while st anding in line at t he post of f ice, you may t hink:
This is a very nice building.
It ’ s great t hat t hey keep it so clean.
I like how f riendly t hat post al worker is.
I appreciat e t he way t hat t hat mot her is int eract ing wit h her child.
That ’ s a good-looking j acket .
My day is really going well.
While driving t o work, you may t hink:
I love my car.
This new f reeway is wonderf ul.
Even t hough it ’ s raining, I’ m making very good t ime.
I love how reliable my vehicle is.
I’ m grat ef ul f or my j ob.
You could f ocus more specif ically on any of your obj ect s of appreciat ion and f ind even more reasons t o
f eel appreciat ion. For example:
This is a very nice building . . .
There’ s so much more parking here t han at t he old post of f ice. There are more count ers here, and t he
line moves much f ast er
t han bef ore. The big windows make t his room f eel much airier.
This new f reeway is wonderf ul . . .
There are no t raf f ic light s t o slow me down. I can t ravel so much f ast er t han bef ore. This drive of f ers such
a beaut if ul view.

Once you become orient ed t oward looking f or t hings t o appreciat e, you will f ind t hat your day will be
f illed wit h such t hings. Your t hought s and f eelings of appreciat ion will f low f rom you nat urally. And of t en,
while in t he midst of a genuine f eeling of appreciat ion f or someone or somet hing, you will f eel ripples of
goose bumps— t hose sensat ions are conf irming your alignment wit h your Source.

Abraham, Speak to Us More about the Rampage of Appreciation

Every t ime you appreciat e somet hing, every t ime you praise somet hing, every t ime you f eel good about
somet hing, you are t elling t he Universe: “ More of t his, please. ” You need never make anot her verbal
st at ement of t his int ent , and if you are most ly in a st at e of appreciat ion, all good t hings will f low t o you.
We are of t en asked, Isn‘ t love a bet t er word t han appreciat ion? Isn‘ t love more descript ive of t he Non-
Physical Energy? And we say t hat love and appreciat ion are really t he same vibrat ion. Some use t he word
grat it ude, or a f eeling of t hankf ulness, but all of t hese words are descript ive of Well-Being.
A desire t o appreciat e is a very good f irst st ep, and t hen as you f ind more t hings t hat you would like t o
say “ Thank you” about , it quickly gains moment um. And as you want t o f eel appreciat ion, you at t ract
somet hing t o appreciat e. And as you appreciat e it , t hen you at t ract somet hing else t o appreciat e, unt il,
in t ime, you are experiencing a Rampage of Appreciat ion.

You Cannot Control How Others Feel

As you move t hrough your day, you may see unhappy people who are ornery, disappoint ed, or in pain; and
as t hey direct t heir negat ive emot ion t oward you, you may f ind it very dif f icult t o f eel appreciat ion
t oward t hem. And t hen you may blame yourself f or not being st rong enough t o appreciat e t hem in spit e of
t heir negat ive of f erings t oward you. Well, we would never suggest t hat you should be able t o look right at
somet hing you do not want and f eel good about it . Inst ead, look f or t hings t hat cause you t o f eel good
when you f ind t hem, and t hen t he Law of At t ract ion will bring you more t hings like t hose.
Whenever you are looking f or t hings t o appreciat e, you have cont rol of your own vibrat ional of f ering and
your own point of at t ract ion, but when you are responding t o t he way ot hers seem t o f eel about you, you
have no cont rol. However, when you are more int erest ed in how you f eel t han how t hey f eel about you,
you do have cont rol of your experience. You do not know who ran over t heir dog t oday or who divorced
t hem or who t ook money out of t heir bank account . You do not how t hey are living, so you cannot
underst and why t hey react t o you in t he way t hey do—and you cannot cont rol it .
Once you have made a decision t hat not hing is more import ant t han t hat you f eel good, and you have
decided t hat you are going t o consciously look f or some t hings t o appreciat e t oday, t he obj ect of your
at t ent ion has now become t he f eeling of appreciat ion. You have now est ablished a circuit bet ween you
and t hat obj ect of appreciat ion t hat t he Law of At t ract ion will begin working on immediat ely, so you will
st art seeing more t hings t o appreciat e right away.

You Cannot Feel Defensive While Feeling Appreciative

If you do not underst and t hat t he only t hing t hat af f ect s your experience is how you are f lowing Energy; if
you t hink it is about chance, luck, coincidence, st at ist ics, or t he law of averages, t hen when you see on
t he news t hat t here is a killer on t he loose, shoot ing wildly f rom his car int o your neighborhood, you f eel
vulnerable because you t hink t hat your happiness or your Well-Being is dependent upon his behavior. But
if your Well-Being is dependent upon his behavior and you cannot cont rol him, you do not even know
where he is, you cannot get enough police of f icers t o t ake care of him. . . t hen your vulnerabilit y soars.
We want you t o f eel t he value of connect ing wit h Non-Physical Energy, and appreciat ion is t he easiest and
f ast est way. When your desire t o connect wit h t he Non-Physical Energy is suf f icient enough, you will f ind
dozens of ways, in every hour, t o f low your appreciat ion.
You have t o come t o remember t hat it makes no dif f erence what soever how anybody is f lowing back at
you, ot herwise you are going t o be def ensive—and you cannot be def ensive and appreciat ive at t he same
t ime. When you concent rat e on appreciat ing, t hen appreciat ion comes right back. But you are really not
looking f or appreciat ion t o come t o you; you want t he f eeling of it f lowing t hrough you.
As you move t hrough your day and you become aware of somet hing t hat you do not want , your desire
about what you do want comes int o clearer f ocus. And now, since you have been pract icing t he Rampage
of Appreciat ion, you can easily ref ocus your awareness of what you do not want int o your awareness of
what you do want . Now you are t he hands-on creat or t hat you have come f ort h t o be.
Lif e is not about t omorrow, it is about right now. Li f e is about how you are current ly molding t he Energy!
 Process #2 The Magical Creation Box

When t o Use This Process:

• When you are in t he mood f or a pleasing act ivit y t hat will f ocus t he Energy t hat creat es worlds int o
specif ic direct ions of your personal pref erences.
• When you want t o give t he Universal Manager evenmore specif ic inf ormat ion about t he det ails of t hings
t hat please you.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Magical Creat ion Box Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is
ranging somewhere bet ween: (1) Joy/ Knowledge/ Empowerment / Freedom/ Love/ Appreciat ion and (5)
Opt imism.
If t he way you are f eeling f alls somewhere bet ween (1) Joy and (5) Opt imism, t hen t his Creat ion Box
Process would be a good one f or you t o ut ilize right now.
To begin t he Creat ion Box process, f ind a nice-looking box, one t hat is pleasing t o you when you see it . On
t he lid, in a conspicuous place t hat you will easily not ice, writ e t he words: What ever is cont ained in t his
box—IS!
Next , gat her magazines, cat alogs, and brochures, and leisurely look t hrough t hem f or what ever you would
like t o include in your experience. Then clip out pict ures of anyt hing t hat exemplif ies any desires t hat you
hold: pict ures of f urnit ure, clot hing, landscaping, buildings, t ravel dest inat ions, vehicles; images of
physical charact erist ics; phot os of people int eract ing wit h one anot her. . . if it f eels appealing t o you in
any way, clip it , and drop it int o your Creat ion Box. And say, as you drop it in, “ What ever is cont ained in
t his box—IS! ”
When you are away f rom your box, cont inue t o gat her more pict ures, and t hen drop t hem in when you
ret urn home. If you wit ness somet hing you would like t o experience, writ e a descript ion of it , and drop
t hat int o your box.
The more t hings you f ind f or your box, t he more t he Universe will deliver t o you ot her ideas t hat mat ch
t hem. And t he more ideas you drop int o your box, t he more your desire will be f ocused. And t he more
your desire is f ocused, t he more alive you will f eel—f or t his Energy f lowing t hrough you is what lif e is.
If you have lit t le or no resist ance—in ot her words, if you have no doubt t hat you can achieve t hese t hings,
t he experience will f eel invigorat ing t o you. The more you clip, t he bet t er you will f eel, and you will
begin t o see evidence of t hese t hings moving closer and closer int o your experience. Doors will begin t o
open t o make it possible f or many of t hese t hings t o easily come in right now.
The process will help you f ocus your desires, and so, you will consciously amplif y St ep 1 (Ask)—and now,
in your absence of resist ance, t hings will begin t o happen quickly.
If you are usually a good-f eeling person who has not est ablished st rong habit s of f eeling unhappy about
not having t he t hings you have put int o your box, you will experience t he immediat e posit ive result of
f eeling more f ocused and more excit ed about lif e, and t he t hings you have put int o your Creat ion Box will
begin t o manif est in your experience right away. In ot her words, f or someone who has not been pract icing
t hought s of resist ance, t his process will be all t hat you will ever need t o creat e a wonderf ul lif e: You ask;
Source answers; you let it in. You ask, and it is given.
If you are enj oying t his process, it is serving you in a powerf ul way; it is helping you f ocus upon t he t hings
you desire; you are pract icing t he at t ainment of a consist ent vibrat ion t hat mat ches your desires; and you
are experiencing Deliberat e Creat ion. And, most import ant , your good-f eeling emot ion is t elling you t hat
you are in t he receiving mode right now. Your at t ent ion t o t his process is helping you maint ain t he
vibrat ional f requency t hat is required f or you t o allow what you are asking f or int o your experience—you
are pract icing t he Art of Allowing.

Abraham, Speak to Us More about the Magical Creation Box

Imagine t hat you are sit t ing in your chair, and next t o your chair is a box, a pret t y good-sized box. And
you know t hat you are a creat or, and t hat t his box is your creat ion; it is your world, so t o speak. And you
are like a giant , sit t ing here on t his big chair, and you have t he abilit y t o reach out anywhere in t his
physical Universe and pluck what ever you want and drop it int o t hat box.
So you bring a beaut if ul house, and you put it in a cit y t hat pleases you. And you bring a means of income
f or you, and maybe a means of income f or your mat e. You bring all t he t hings you like t o do—t he
beaut if ul t hings t hat you f ind here and t here, f eelings of elat ion and f eelings of sensualit y, and all of
t hese t hings t hat you want , and you drop t hese t hings int o your Creat ion Box.
You could play t his game as a ment al game only, but it is so much more f un if you act ually get a box and
drop in t hings t hat represent your desires. You will begin t o not ice t hat when you put somet hing in your
Creat ion Box t hat does not have a pat t ern of resist ance, t he Universe will bring it t o you right away. The
t hings you drop int o t he box where you do have pat t erns of resist ance will t ake more t ime in coming.

When Visualizing, You Have Complete Creative Control

This process may f eel whimsical t o you, but it is a powerf ul process, f or it will enhance your abilit y t o
visualize. Most people of f er most of t heir vibrat ional of f erings in response t o what t hey are observing, but
t here is no creat ive cont rol in t hat . Your creat ive cont rol comes only in deliberat ely of f ering t hought —and
when you are visualizing, you have complet e cont rol.
Est her was playing t he Creat ion Box game as she and Jerry were f lying home f rom New York Cit y t o San
Ant onio one day. And as she was packing and get t ing ready f or t he airport , she was ment ally dropping
t hings in her box—f or example, a beaut if ul sky; a beaut if ul, clear day (she loves it when t hey t ake of f
f rom La Guardia Airport and she can see all t he landmarks t hat she has come t o know and recognize).
Such a beaut if ul place, so many bridges and all t hat shimmering wat er, and all t hose maj est ic buildings.
She t hought about happy f light at t endant s, j oyf ul passengers around her, and lot s of f un on t he t rip. And
t hen she t hought , I hope t his Unit ed Nat ions meet ing doesn’ t have t he f reeways all gridlocked. And t hen
Est her said, “ Now t hat ’ s an odd t hing f or me t o bring t o my box; I don’ t want t hat in my box. ”
As you deliberat ely put t hings int o your Creat ion Box, you will be more aware of when you are t hinking
about somet hing t hat you would not want t o experience. Your relat ionship wit h t his Creat ion Box will help
you recognize t he power your t hought s hold.
Anot her example: Jerry and Est her had been looking f or an Orient al rug f or t heir home. One day while on
an airplane, Est her was t earing pages out of magazines of all sort s of dif f erent t hings f or her Creat ion
Box, and she t ore out a page t hat had a pict ure of a beaut if ul rug. When t hey arrived home, t hey had
several boxes of mail t o organize, and as Est her reached int o a box, she t ook out a post card f rom a new
rug company in San Ant onio—and on t he post card was t he very same rug. And she squealed, “ Look how
f ast t his works! ” That pict ure had not been in her box 24 hours bef ore a f ast and easy means t o achieve it
was delivered.
We want you t o f eel t he f un and j oy of t he process. Of t en, when you get somet hing t hat you have been
want ing, your f eeling of elat ion is very short -lived, but t his game will give you t he opport unit y t o savor
t he t hings t hat you desire longer. And t hen, t he t hrill of t he manif est at ion, even t hough short , will be all
t he sweet er.
Once you begin t his process, you will j ust be knocked over by t he ef f ect iveness and ef f iciency of t he
enormous Non-Physical st af f t hat responds t o your vibrat ional request s. When you ask, it is given, and as
you play wit h t his Creat ion Box, you will learn t o let it in.
 Process #3 The Creative Workshop

When t o Use This Process:

• When you want t o f ocus upon what is most import ant t o you personally.
• When you want t o be in more deliberat e cont rol of t he primary areas of your own lif e.
• When you want t o improve your st at e of allowing so t hat even more wonderf ul t hings can f low int o your
experience.
• When you want t o pract ice a posit ive point of at t ract ion unt il it becomes a dominant point of
at t ract ion.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Creat ive Workshop Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is ranging
somewhere bet ween: (1) Joy/ Knowledge/ Empowerment / Freedom/ Love/ Appreciat ion and (5) Opt imism.

Like most of t he ot her processes of f ered here, t his one is most ef f ect ive when you perf orm t he act ion in
writ ing, but it can also be valuable t o play t he game in your mind while driving or walking, or anyt ime you
are alone and have a f ew minut es where it is not likely t hat you will be dist urbed.
Begin t his Creat ive Workshop Process wit h f our pieces of paper, and at t he t op of each sheet writ e one of
t he f ollowing headings, or cat egories: My Body. My Home. My Relat ionships. My Work.
Now, f ocus on t he f irst t opic (My Body) and on your f irst page, writ e: This is what I desire regarding my
body. Do not work hard on t his list . If you cannot t hink of anyt hing, move on t o t he next cat egory. Writ e a
short list of t hings t hat easily come t o your mind t hat you desire, right now, about your body. For
example:
I want t o ret urn t o my ideal body weight . I want t o get a great haircut . I want t o f ind some wonderf ul
new clot hes. I want t o f eel st rong and f it .
Now f ocus on each st at ement of desire t hat you have writ t en about your body, and writ e t he reasons why
you want each of t hose t hings. For example:
I want t o ret urn t o my ideal body weight . . .
. . . because I f eel best when I’ m at t hat weight .
. . . because I’ ll be able t o wear some of my f avorit e clot hes.
. . . because it will be f un t o shop f or a new wardrobe.
I want t o get a great haircut . . .
. . . because I want t o look good. . . because a great haircut is much easier t o manage. . . because when my
hair is cut well, it t akes less t ime t o look good.
I want t o f ind some wonderf ul new clot hes. . .
. . . because new clot hes always make me f eel good.
. . . because I like looking good.
. . . because I like people respondi ng t o me in a posit ive way.
. . . because t hey always give me a f resh out look.
I want t o f eel st rong and f it . . .
. . . because I love t he f eeling of st amina.
. . . because I love having t he energy t o do all of t he t hings
I want t o do. . . because it j ust f eels good t o f eel good!
This Creat ive Workshop Process will assist you in f ocusing upon t he areas t hat are t he most immediat e and
import ant t o your lif e experience. When you ident if y t he f our basic subj ect s of your lif e, a f ocusing of
Energy occurs. When you make more specif ic st at ement s of desire, you act ivat e t he Energy around t hose
subj ect s even more. And when you t hink about why you want t hose t hings, you can usually be sof t ening
your resist ance around t he subj ect while you are adding even more clarit y and power t o t he t hought s.
Why you want somet hing def ines t he essence of what you want . . . t he Universe always delivers t o you t he
vibrat ional essence of your desire.
When you t hink about why you want somet hing, you usually sof t en resist ance, but when you t hink about
when it will come t o you or how it will come or who will help it t o come, you of t en add resist ance,
especially if you do not already know t he answers t o t hose quest ions.
Now complet e t he ot her t hree cat egories: My Home. My Relat ionships. My Work.
Writ e a short list of t hings t hat easily come t o your mind t hat you desire, right now, about your home. For
example:
I want t o f ind some really great f urnit ure.
I want t o get more organized.
I want sliding shelves in t he cupboards where I keep my pans.
I want beaut if ul t ile in my bat hroom.
And now, writ e t he reasons why you want t hese t hings. I want t o f ind some really great f urnit ure. . .
. . . because it ’ s so much f un t o make changes.
. . . because I love ent ert aining, and I want my home t o f eel good.
. because it will be easier t o get organized. . . because f urnit ure adds so much t o a home.
I want t o get more organized. . .
. . . because I f eel bet t er when t hings are neat . . . because I work bet t er in an unclut t ered environment . . .
because we all get along bet t er when t hings are in order. . . because I can accomplish so much more.
I want sliding shelves in t he cupboards where I keep my pans. . .
. . . because it will be much easier t o f ind what I need.
. . . because I’ ll f eel like cooking more of t en.
. . . because it will be more convenient t o put t he pans away when I’ m done wit h t hem. . . because it will
make t he kit chen f eel so much bet t er.
I want beaut if ul t ile in my bat hroom. . .
. . . because it will make t he room more vibrant .
. . . because it will add value t o my home.
. . . because it will be easier t o keep clean.
. . . because t his t ile will make me f eel good j ust t o look at it .
Writ e a short list of t hings t hat come t o your mind easily t hat you desire, right now, about your
relat ionship (choose t he relat ionship t hat f eels most signif icant t o you right now).
I want t o spend more t ime t oget her. I want t o have more f un t oget her. I want t o eat out t oget her more
of t en. I want t o relax more and play more of t en.
I want t o spend more t ime t oget her. . .
. . . because I’ m at my very best when we’ re t oget her.
. . . because t here’ s no one I’ d rat her be wit h.
. . . because we have so many t hings t hat are f un t o t alk about .
. . . because I love t his person so much.
I want t o have more f un t oget her. . .

Writ e a short list of t hings t hat come t o your mind easily t hat you desire, right now, about your work.
I want t o make more money. I want t o f eel excit ed about what I’ m doing. I want t o enj oy t he people I

I want t o make more money. . .

I want t o enj oy t he people I work wit h. . .

. . . because I love get t ing ahold of an idea and running wit h it .
. . . because I love t he f eeling of want ing t o go t o work.
. . . because I love t he experience of get t ing a great new idea.
This process will help you get your j uices f lowing t oward f ocusing Energy on t he f our main t opics of your
personal experience. We would encourage playing t his game once a week f or a mont h or so, and t hen
once a mont h t hereaf t er.
Do not t ry t o writ e everyt hing you want regarding each of t he f our t opics. Just writ e t he t hings t hat are
most immediat e in your mind.
This relaxed and simple process will cause an increased act ivat ion of t he t hings t hat mat t er most t o you,
and you will immediat ely begin t o see evidence of increased act ivit y in circumst ances and event s t hat are
associat ed wit h t hese t opics.

Abraham, Speak to Us More about the Creative Workshop Process

Like a magnet , you are at t ract ing t hought s, people, event s, lif est yles—everyt hing t hat you are living. And
so, as you see t hings as t hey are, you at t ract more of t he same. But as you see t hings as you would like
t hem t o be, you at t ract t hem as you would like t hem t o be. This is why t he bet t er it get s, t he bet t er it
get s; or t he worse it get s, t he worse it get s—people t end t o look most ly at what -is.
The Creat ive Workshop Process will help you choose what sort of magnet you will be. And so, no longer
will you be subj ect t o what ot hers believe, want , or see, f or you will be t he powerf ul Deliberat e Creat or
of you and your experience.

Welcome, Little One, to Planet Earth

If we were speaking t o you on your f irst day of physical lif e experience, we would have said t o you:
Welcome, Lit t le One, t o Planet Eart h. There is not hing t hat you cannot be, do, or have. You are a
magnif icent creat or, and you are here by your powerf ul and deliberat e desire t o be here. You have
specif ically applied t he wondrous law of Deliberat e Creat ion, and by your abilit y t o do t hat , you are here.
Go f ort h and at t ract lif e experience t o help you decide what you want . And once you have decided, give
t hought only t o t hat . Most of your t ime will be spent collect ing dat a t hat will help you decide what it is
you want , but your real work is t o decide what you want and t hen f ocus upon it , f or it is t hrough f ocusing
upon what you want t hat you will at t ract it . That is t he process of creat ing.
But we are not t alking t o you on t he f irst day of your lif e experience. You have been here f or a while, and
most of you see yourselves not only t hrough your own eyes—in f act , not even primarily t hrough your own
eyes—but you see yourselves most ly t hrough t he eyes of ot hers. And so, many of you are not now
current ly in t he st at e of being t hat you want t o be.
The Creat ive Workshop Process is one where you can achieve t he st at e of being t hat is your choosing so
t hat you consciously access t he power of t he Universe and begin at t ract ing t he subj ect of your desire
rat her t han t he subj ect of what you f eel is your realit y. From our perspect ive, t here is a great dif f erence
bet ween t hat which now exist s—t hat which you call your realit y—and t hat which your realit y really is.
Even as you may be sit t ing t here in a body t hat is not healt hy, or in a body t hat is not t he size or shape or
vit alit y t hat you choose, in a lif est yle t hat may not pleasing you, driving a vehicle t hat perhaps
embarrasses you, or int eract ing wit h ot hers who may not bring you pleasure, we want t o assist you in
underst anding t hat while t his may seem t o be your st at e of being, it need not be.
What we are of f ering here is t he process by which you may spend a lit t le bit of t ime, every day,
int ent ionally at t ract ing int o your experience good healt h, vit alit y, prosperit y, and posit ive int eract ions
wit h ot hers—all t he t hings t hat make up your vision of what t he perf ect lif e experience f or you would be.

Another Example of a Creative Workshop

We encourage you t o go t o your workshop every day, but only f or a short period of t ime. Fif t een or
t went y minut es is enough. It is good if it is a place where you can sit and writ e, alt hough it can be done in
your mind at any place where you are not dist ract ed. But it is not a place where you will ent er an alt ered
st at e of consciousness; it is not a medit at ive st at e. This is a place where you will go, clearly giving
t hought t o what you want , so much so t hat it st irs posit ive emot ion wit hin you. Go t o your workshop wit h
an uplif t ed, light heart ed f eeling. If you are not happy, it is not a good t ime f or your Creat ive Workshop.
Your work here in t his workshop is t o assimilat e dat a t hat you have been collect ing f rom your real-lif e
experience, and t o bring t he dat a t oget her in a pict ure t hat sat isf ies and pleases you. During your day, no
mat t er what you are doing—as you are going t o your j ob, working around your home, int eract ing wit h your
f amily and f riends—collect t he dat a on t hings you like t hat you may lat er bring int o your workshop.
You may see someone who has a j oyf ul personalit y. Collect t hat dat a, and bring it int o your workshop
lat er. You may see someone driving a vehicle t hat you would like; collect t hat dat a. You may see an
occupat ion t hat pleases you. . . what ever it is t hat you are seeing t hat pleases you, remember it , even
writ e it down, and t hen when you go int o your workshop, you can begin t he assimilat ion of t he dat a. And
as you do so, you will prepare a pict ure of self t hat you will begin at t ract ing int o your experience.
Here is a broader example of your Creat ive Workshop:
I like being here, f or I recognize t he value and power of t his t ime. I f eel very good as I am here. And as I
see myself , I see myself as a sort of t ot al package, one t hat I know is of my own creat ing, and cert ainly
one of my choosing. I’ m f ull of Energy, t ireless, really, moving t hrough lif e experience wit h no resist ance.
I see myself gliding about in t his pict ure of self , moving in and out of my car, in and out of buildings, in
and out of rooms, in and out of conversat ions, and in and out of lif e experiences. I am f lowing
ef f ort lessly, comf ort ably, and happily.
I see myself at t ract ing only t hose who are in harmony wit h my current int ent . And I’ m becoming more
aware of what I desire. When I get int o my vehicle and I’ m moving t o a place, I see myself arriving at t hat
place healt hy, ref reshed, and on t ime, and prepared f or what ever it is t hat I’ m about t o do t here. I see
myself dressed t o perf ect ion in j ust t he manner I choose.
And it ’ s nice t o know t hat it does not mat t er what ot hers are doing, or what ot hers are t hinking about
what I’ m doing. What is import ant is t hat I’ m pleased wit h me. And as I see myself in t his pict ure of self , I
cert ainly am.
I recognize t hat I’ m unlimit ed in all f acet s of my lif e. I have an unlimit ed bank account . I am experiencing
no f inancial limit at ions. I’ m making all my decisions based upon whet her I want t he experience or not ,
not based upon whet her I can af f ord it . I know t hat I’ m a magnet at t ract ing what ever level of prosperit y,
healt h, or relat ionships I choose.
I choose absolut e and cont inuing abundance, f or I underst and t hat t here is no limit t o t he wealt h in t he
Universe, and t hat by my at t ract ing abundance t o me, I’ m not limit ing anot her. There’ s enough f or
everyone. It ’ s not necessarily about put t ing a big st ash away. For what ever I want or need, I can easily
bring int o my experience. There’ s an unlimit ed supply of money and prosperit y of all kinds available t o
me. I see myself surrounded by ot hers who, like me, desire growt h, who are drawn t o me by my
willingness t o allow t hem t o be, do, or have what ever t hey’ re want ing. I see myself int eract ing wit h
ot hers—t alking, laughing, and enj oying t hat which is perf ect in t hem while t hey’ re enj oying t hat which is
perf ect in me. We’ re appreciat ing each ot her. No one is crit icizing or not icing unwant ed t hings.
I see myself in perf ect healt h, in absolut e prosperit y, appreciat ing t his physical lif e experience, which I
want ed so very much as I decided t o be t his physical Being.
It ’ s glorious t o be here, making decisions wit h my physical brain but accessing t he power of t he Universe
t hrough t he power of t he Law of At t ract ion. And it ’ s f rom t his marvelous st at e of being t hat I now at t ract
more of t he same. It ’ s good. It ’ s f un. I like it very much.
And now, my work f or t his day is done. I will leave my Creat ive Workshop and I’ ll set out , f or t he
remainder of t his day, looking f or more t hings t hat I like. My work is done.
As you ent er your workshop already f eeling good, and t hen you bring t o your workshop specif ic aspect s of
lif e experience t hat please you, and as you envision t hese t hings in great er det ail, your lif e out side of
your workshop will begin t o ref lect t he images t hat you have creat ed wit hin your Creat ive Workshop. This
is a powerf ul t ool t hat will help you creat e t he perf ect lif e f or yourself .
 Process #4 Virtual Reality

When t o Use This Process:

• When you are f eeling good, and you want t o pract ice a vibrat ion of allowing.
• When you f ind yourself remembering a pleasant experience, and you want t o ext end t he f eeling longer
and even move it t o a bet t er-f eeling place.
• When you have ext ra t ime, and you wish t o spend ti in a pleasant way.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Virt ual Realit y Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is ranging
somewhere bet ween: (1) Joy/ Knowledge/ Empowerment / Freedom/ Love/ Appreciat ion and (8) Boredom
Remember, you live in a Vibrat ional Universe, and all t hings are managed by t he Law of At t ract ion. And
you get what you t hink about , whet her you want it or not , because whenever you achieve vibrat ional
harmony wit h somet hing because you are giving it your at t ent ion, t he vibrat ional essence of it will, in
some way, begin t o show up in your lif e experience.
So, you could say t hat t he Universe responds t o your vibrat ional of f ering, t o your point of at t ract ion, t o
t he t hought s you t hink, and t o t he way you f eel. The Universe is not responding t o what has been
manif est ed in your experience, but inst ead, t o t he vibrat ion t hat you are now of f ering. The Universe
makes no dist inct ion bet ween your act ually having a million dollars and your giving t hought t o having a
million dollars. Your point of at t ract ion is about your t hought s, not about your manif est at ions.
This Virt ual Realit y Process is not one where you t ry t o f ix somet hing t hat is broken. It is one where you
deliberat ely act ivat e a scene in your own mind t hat causes you t o of f er a vibrat ion mat ching t he scene
you have act ivat ed—and as you pract ice visualizing pleasant scenes in your mind, t hese good-f eeling
vibrat ions can t hen become your new set -point .
Most are present ing t he maj orit y of t heir vibrat ional of f ering in response t o t hings, people, and condit ions
t hat t hey are observing. And so, t he lives of most people cont inue t o unf old very much as t hey have been,
wit h no signif icant improvement f rom day t o day. This is because t here is not much t hought being of f ered
t hat is much dif f erent f rom what has already been experienced. However, t he game of Virt ual Realit y will
change t hat , because an applicat ion of t his process, on any subj ect of your choice, will cause your
vibrat ion t o move f ar beyond where you are current ly st anding. Since t he Universe responds t o your
vibrat ion—and not t o what you are living right now, amazing t hings can now begin t o f low int o your
experience even t hough t hey have never done so bef ore.
The t hing t hat we see t hat most commonly t rips you up is t hat in t he cont rast —which is necessary and
valuable t o help you give birt h t o a rocket of desire—of t en t here is an act ivat ion of many kinds of j umbled
Energy. Usually, in order f or you t o know t hat you want somet hing, you have t o pret t y well have chewed
on det ails or event s t hat have helped you know what you do not want . In ot her words, when do you speak
most clearly about want ing t o be well? Usually when you are less t han well, correct ? When does your
st rongest desire f or more money really kick int o high gear? Most likely when t here is not enough money.
When you are conf used, t hat is when you want more clarit y, right ? When you are overwhelmed, isn’ t t hat
when you want more serenit y? And when you are bored, isn’ t t hat when you want more st imulat ion?
Remember, t he Creat ive Workshop Process comprises t hree st eps: (1) Ask (t hat is easy, you do it all t he
t ime). (2) Answer t he asking (t hat is not your work—Source Energy does t hat ). (3) Allow (be in t he
receiving mode of what you are asking f or).
It is import ant t hat you realize t hat St eps 1 and 3 are dif f erent . When you are f ocused upon, or praying
f or, somet hing you really want or need, of t en you are not a vibrat ional mat ch t o t he t hing you want .
Inst ead, you are a mat ch t o t he absence of it .
When t he bills all come at once, t here is not enough money t o pay t hem, and you f eel f right ened and
f earf ul and say, “ I need more money, ” or you t ry t o use more posit ive words such as “ I want more
money, ” you are doing St ep 1. You are set t ing f ort h your desire. But you are not in St ep 3, so you are
holding yourself apart f rom what you are asking f or.
You are cont inually asking. You cannot st op asking; cont rast is evoking t he desire f rom you. Your real
work is t o f ind a way t o be in t he receiving mode. It is similar t o want ing t o receive a sat ellit e or radio
signal. To do so, you have t o set your receiver on t he same wavelengt h as t he t ransmit t er or you are going
t o get st at ic; you are not going t o get a clear signal. In like manner, you recognize t he alignment of your
(t ransmit t ed and received) signals by f eeling t he alignment of your emot ions. In ot her words, when you
are out t here in t hat ragged place where you are f eeling f razzled and f rust rat ed or angry and hurt , you
are out of alignment .
We want you t o relax and not be so hard on yourself when you f ind yourself in a place of negat ive
emot ion. Negat ive emot ion is a good t hing in t hat it is let t ing you know t hat some t weaking is required in
order f or you t o be in harmony wit h who you are.
If you are really out of sync; in ot her words, if you can really f eel t hat you are not in a good-f eeling place,
t hen a more soot hing process t hat we would recommend would be t hat of Medit at ion. Because when you
quiet your mind, you st op t hought , and when you st op t hought , your vibrat ion aut omat ically rises.
Of course, if you can f ind somet hing t o f ocus upon, somet hing t hat you can easily appreciat e, t hen t he
Rampage of Appreciat ion Process would be an even bet t er one because you can do it under all condit ions
no mat t er where you are. But t his process of Virt ual Realit y will help you in t wo specif ic ways: You will
become accust omed t o t he way non-resist ance f eels, so you will recognize when you have moved int o
resist ant t hought at an earlier st age when it is easier t o move back out again. And, in every moment t hat
you are in your st at e of non-resist ance, t he Law of At t ract ion will be responding t o you in a posit ive way.

Abraham, Speak to Us More about the Virtual Reality Process

Virt ual Realit y is a process where you get t o choose everyt hing about t his moment in t ime, j ust like a
direct or in a movie would do. To begin t his process, you would f irst decide: Where does t his scene t ake
place? Choose a locat ion t hat f eels really good t o you. It could be a place t hat you may have visit ed,
heard about , seen in a movie, or even imagined.
Is it indoors or out doors? What t ime of day is it ? Is it morning, af t ernoon, or evening? Is t he sun j ust
coming up or going down? Is it broad daylight ? What does t he air f eel like? What is t he t emperat ure? How
are you dressed? Who else is t here? Choose somet hing t hat f eels good t o you.
It does not mat t er if you are alone or wit h someone else, but it is import ant t hat if you choose t o bring
someone else int o your Virt ual Realit y t hat it f eels good t o have t hem t here.
What kind of mood are you in? Are you laughing? Are you sit t ing and quiet ly cont emplat ing? Once you have
set t he scene, you can imagine what you might say t o each ot her.
The purpose of t his Virt ual Realit y Process is t o cause you t o act ivat e vibrat ions wit hin you t hat put you in
t he place of allowing your Well-Being. So you would not creat e a Virt ual Realit y where you build your new
house wit h a leaky roof and t hen bring repair people int o your Virt ual Realit y t o f ix t he leaky roof . You
would not put up ugly wallpaper and t hen bring someone in t o replace it . In your Virt ual Realit y, you can
make it be precisely t he way you want it t o be.
Do not use t his process t o t ry t o improve a specif ic exist ing sit uat ion, because in your at t empt t o f ix
somet hing, you will bring t he exist ing vibrat ion int o your Virt ual Realit y, and in doing so, you will lose t he
power of t he Virt ual Realit y Process.

Nothing Is More Important Than Feeling Good

There is no reason t hat Well-Being is not pouring int o your experience in precise det ail in response t o all
of t he t hings t hat you have ident if ied t hat you want , ot her t han t he f act t hat you are in a bad mood, or
are angry or worried about somet hing.
This exercise of Virt ual Realit y will help you t rain yourself t o f eel bet t er more of t he t ime. And, like
working a muscle, t he more you do it , t he bet t er it works f or you.
Est her once pract iced t his game of Virt ual Realit y while she was driving t he big bus she and Jerry t ravel
in. She discovered t hat it worked best f or her t o get int o t he scene quickly, bring herself t o a place of
really f eeling good, and t hen get out . If she st ayed t oo long, she would get t oo pract ical and t ry t o ref orm
people or f ix t hings. But when she would j ust decide where t he good-f eeling place was going t o be by
picking somet hing t hat made her heart sing . . . deciding who else was going t o be t here, ident if ying what
kind of mood t hey would be in, and t hen j ust speaking a f ew words of dialogue—and get t ing out —it f elt
wonderf ul.
We would encourage you t o play t his game when you are driving, st anding in a line, or lying in your bed,
or you could even j ust set some t ime aside t o do it . As you creat e t hese scenarios t hat make you f eel
good, you act ivat e a vibrat ion t hat does f eel good, and t hen t he Law of At t ract ion mat ches t hat vibrat ion.
There is not hing more import ant t han t hat you f eel good—and t here is not hing bet t er t han creat ing
images t hat cause you t o f eel good.
When Est her, as she was driving, would t hink about what t he air f elt like, somet imes she would give it
j ust a lit t le humidit y; somet imes it would be so dry t hat it would f eel good as it blew across her body;
somet imes it would be 90 degrees wit h no humidit y at all. She t hought of every pleasant combinat ion of
t emperat ure, humidit y, and t ime of day t hat she could t hink of .
And t hen she would bring lovely f riends t o come and play wit h her. And t hey would have all kinds of
wonderf ul experiences. She got so good at Virt ual Realit y t hat she want ed t o st ay longer, because when
she played t his game, she could cont rol everyt hing about everyt hing.

Every Thought That Feels Bad Is Bad

The Universe does not know (or give at t ent ion t o) why your vibrat ion is what it is in any moment . In ot her
words, t he doct ors could have diagnosed you as being disease-ridden yest erday, and t oday you could be
driving down t he highway (like Est her did), in some sort of f ant asy Virt ual Realit y. In t hat moment , t here
would be no represent at ion of any disease wit hin your body. And if you could maint ain t hat vibrat ion
more t han you maint ain your awareness of t he disease, it could not remain in your body. It is only t here
because, somehow, wit hout knowing it , you have chosen t hought s t hat are a vibrat ional mat ch t o t he
essence of t he disease.
Every t hought t hat you have chosen t hat is a vibrat ional mat ch t o disease. . . f eels bad when you t hink it .
It f eels like anger, f rust rat ion, resent ment , blame, guilt , or f ear. . . Those t hought s are not good f or you,
and you can t ell t hey are not good f or you because t hey f eel bad when you t hink t hem. In t he same way
t hat t ouching and f eeling a hot st ove hurt s, f eeling negat ive emot ion hurt s.
Somet hing t hat you lived a long t ime ago t hat is not act ive in your vibrat ion, or somet hing t hat you lived
yest erday t hat you are not t hinking about right now, does not have any vibrat ional weight in your point of
at t ract ion—none what soever. So you do not have t o rid yourself of all negat ive t hought s.
Somet imes, as you are int eract ing wit h ot hers, you will hear, see, or smell somet hing t hat t riggers a
vibrat ion wit hin you t hat does not f eel very good as it is act ivat ed. And t hat is t he t ime f or you t o say,
“ Oh, my guidance syst em is working. I can f eel t hat t here’ s somet hing act ivat ed wit hin me t hat ’ s not
serving me very well. Because, in t he act ivat ion of t his vibrat ion, t here’ s some resist ance wit hin me t hat
is now disallowing t he Well-Being t hat would be t here ot herwise. ”
So t hat is t he t ime t o choose a t hought t hat f eels bet t er. And if you have pract iced Virt ual Realit y, t hen it
will be very easy f or you t o reach f or a t hought t hat f eels bet t er. But if you have not been pract icing,
t hen when you are in t he middle of a negat ive t hought , you do not have anywhere posit ive t o go. So you
j ust have t o wait unt il t hat t hought pet ers out .

Another Example of a Virtual Reality Process

The more you pract ice t he process of Virt ual Realit y, t he more you will be pract icing t he vibrat ion of no
resist ance; t he more you pract ice t he vibrat ion of no resist ance, t he bet t er you will f eel, and, of course,
t he t hings t hat you want will now easily begin t o f low int o your experience as well. For example, imagine
t he f ollowing scenario:
Place: A lovely, whit e sandy beach.
“ It ’ s wint ert ime, but t he weat her is delight f ul. It ’ s 70 degrees wit h scat t ered clouds, and t he air f eels
wonderf ul on my skin.
“ I have no shoes on, so I’ m enj oying t he f eeling of t he cool, clean sand under my f eet . My clot hes are
loose f it t ing and very comf ort able, and I f eel very good in my body. And I am lazily walking down t he
beach, f eeling st rong, happy, and secure.
“ My f ive-year-old granddaught er is wit h me, and she is loving t his glorious day, as I am. She’ s glad t o be
wit h me, but she does not seem t o need me t o ent ert ain her; and I’ m enj oying wat ching her happy, self -
empowered act ivit y as she runs, digs in t he sand, and enj oys t his lovely beach. I’ m very glad t hat we’ ve
come t o t his place. It was a very good choice.
“ My granddaught er runs up t o me, holding a shell t hat she’ s discovered, and wit h a gleef ul sweet voice
and bright sparkling eyes, she says, ‘ Grandma, I’ m so happy we’ re here. Thank you f or bringing us here. ’
And I t ell her, ‘ You are most welcome, sweet girl. I love being here wit h you. ’ “
Now t his is a good t ime t o get out .
 Worrisome or Thrilling, Your Visualizations Are Matched

In Tucson, a dear f riend gave Est her a windshield repair kit . And Est her t hought , I wonder how it works.
She read t he inst ruct ions, and t hought , This is a wonderf ul t hing. And every t ime she picked it up, she
t hought , What an ingenious t hing t his is.
So she and Jerry were on t he road, and in about t en minut es, a t ruck swif t ly passed t hem, causing a rock
t o ricochet of f t he windshield of t heir mot orcoach. Almost immediat ely, Est her got t o experience t he
need f or windshield repair t hat she had been visualizing.
No mat t er whet her you worry or rej oice in your Virt ual Realit y, you set up a vibrat ion t hat t he Law of
At t ract ion mat ches.
Someone said t o us, “ Abraham, I have a hard t ime visualizing. When I t hink about going t o Virt ual Realit y,
it ’ s j ust sort of a blank place f or me. I don’ t know how t o do t his. ”
And we said, Can you remember event s t hat have happened? If you can remember, t hen you can do
Virt ual Realit y, because none of t hat is right here, right now; and as you are remembering, you are re-
creat ing it f rom somet hing.
So, visualizing, or Virt ual Realit y, is no dif f erent . It is conj uring, but wit h t he singular int ent ion of
pleasing yourself as you do so.
As you pract ice t his process and st imulat e your imaginat ion more, you will not only f ind t he process t o be
a delight f ul, good-f eeling way t o spend some t ime, you will discover t hat your dominant vibrat ion on a
myriad of subj ect s is changing, and your lif e experience will now begin t o ref lect t hese wonderf ul
improvement s.
 Process #5 The Prosperity

When t o Use This Process:

• When you want t o expand your abilit y t o imagine.
• When you want t o add more clarit y or specif icit yt o your desire.
• When you want t o enhance t he f low of money int o your experience.
• When you want t o enhance t he f low of abundance wit h respect t o a variet y of t hings.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Prosperit y Game will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is ranging
somewhere bet ween: (1) Joy/ Knowledge/ Empowerment / Freedom/ Love/ Appreciat ionand (16)
Discouragement .
In t his process, you will begin by est ablishing an imaginary checking account . In ot her words, t here will be
no act ual bank involved, but you will make deposit ent ries and check wit hdrawals j ust as if it were an
act ual account . You could use an old checkbook syst em t hat is no longer in use, an account ing program in
your comput er, or you could even manuf act ure a complet e syst em by using a not ebook as your checkbook
regist er and blank pieces of papers f or your deposit slips and checks. It is of value t o make t his process
f eel as real t o you as possible.
On t he f irst day, deposit $1, 000. And spend it . In ot her words, make a S 1, 000 deposit ent ry int o your
checkbook regist er, t hen writ e out checks t o spend t hose dollars. You could spend your money all in one
place, using one check, or you could spend it f or several dif f erent t hings, using several dif f erent checks.
The point of t he game is t o have f un t hinking about what you would like t o purchase, and t o enj oy t he
process of act ually writ ing out t he checks.
Be descript ive on t he memo port ion of t he check. For example: For a beaut if ul writ ing pen or Great
running shoes or Membership at Gordon’ s Healt h Spa. You can spend it all t oday, or save some of it f or
anot her day. However, we encourage you t o do your best t o spend it t oday, because t omorrow you will be
making anot her wonderf ul deposit .
On t he second day, deposit $2, 000.
On t he t hird day, deposit $3, 000.
On t he f ourt h day, deposit $4, 000.
When you reach day 50, deposit $50, 000. When you reach day 300, deposit $300, 000. If you play t his
game every day f or one year, you will have deposit ed and spent more t han $66 million.
You will be benef it ing by increasing your abilit y t o imagine. In ot her words, you will discover, as you play
t he game f or a f ew weeks, t hat it will begin t o t ake real concent rat ion t o spend t hat much money. And
so, your abilit y t o imagine will expand t remendously.
Most of our physical f riends really do not exercise t heir imaginat ion very much. Most people of f er t heir
vibrat ions almost exclusively in response t o what t hey are observing, but by playing t his game, you will
f ind yourself reaching f or new ideas, and in t ime, you will f eel t he expansion of your own desire and
expect at ion. In doing so, you will benef it by shif t ing your point of at t ract ion.
You see, t he Universe is responding t o your vibrat ional of f ering, not t o your current st at e of being. So, if
you are giving your at t ent ion only t o your current st at e of being, t hen your f ut ure evolves much t he same.
But if you are giving f ocused at t ent ion t o t hese wonderf ul expanding ideas t hat t his game evokes f rom
you, t he Universe now responds t o t he vibrat ions of t hose t hought s.
The Universe makes no dist inct ion bet ween t he vibrat ion you of f er in response t o what you are living and
t he vibrat ion t hat you of f er in response t o what you are imagining, so t his Prosperit y Game Process is a
powerf ul t ool f or shif t ing your vibrat ional point of at t ract ion.
You can play t he game f or a short t ime, or you can play it f or an ent ire year or more. What ever you
choose is appropriat e. It may f eel awkward in t he beginning, but t he longer you play t he game, t he more
expansive your imaginat ion will become. And as your imaginat ion expands and you f ocus on t he spirit of
f un and expansion, your point of at t ract ion will shif t .
By writ ing t he checks, using your imaginat ion, writ ing t he memos, f ocusing as you writ e, and f eeling no
resist ance as you writ e t he checks because t here is no f ear of overspending, you will achieve what is
necessary in t he achievement of anyt hing: You will have made a st at ement of desire while you are in t he
st at e of non-resist ance, or bet t er said, in t he st at e of allowing.
So, not only will you have t he benef it of an expanded imaginat ion, but your point of at t ract ion will shif t ,
and your lif e experience will t hen shif t as well. Not only will your f inancial sit uat ion improve, but all
manner of t hings t hat you have f ocused upon wit h pleasure will begin t o f low int o your experience.
You can st art t he game or st op it , and you can play it in any way you like. There are no rules; t here is
not hing t hat you should or t hat it will begin t o t ake real concent rat ion t o spend t hat much money. And so,
your abilit y t o imagine will expand t remendously.
Most of our physical f riends really do not exercise t heir imaginat ion very much. Most people of f er t heir
vibrat ions almost exclusively in response t o what t hey are observing, but by playing t his game, you will
f ind yourself reaching f or new ideas, and in t ime, you will f eel t he expansion of your own desire and
expect at ion. In doing so, you will benef it by shif t ing your point of at t ract ion.
You see, t he Universe is responding t o your vibrat ional of f ering, not t o your current st at e of being. So, if
you are giving your at t ent ion only t o your current st at e of being, t hen your f ut ure evolves much t he same.
But if you are giving f ocused at t ent ion t o t hese wonderf ul expanding ideas t hat t his game evokes f rom
you, t he Universe now responds t o t he vibrat ions of t hose t hought s.
The Universe makes no dist inct ion bet ween t he vibrat ion you of f er in response t o what you are living and
t he vibrat ion t hat you of f er in response t o what you are imagining, so t his Prosperit y Game Process is a
powerf ul t ool f or shif t ing your vibrat ional point of at t ract ion.
You can play t he game f or a short t ime, or you can play it f or an ent ire year or more. What ever you
choose is appropriat e. It may f eel awkward in t he beginning, but t he longer you play t he game, t he more
expansive your imaginat ion will become. And as your imaginat ion expands and you f ocus on t he spirit of
f un and expansion, your point of at t ract ion will shif t .
By writ ing t he checks, using your imaginat ion, writ ing t he memos, f ocusing as you writ e, and f eeling no
resist ance as you writ e t he checks because t here is no f ear of overspending, you will achieve what is
necessary in t he achievement of anyt hing: You will have made a st at ement of desire while you are in t he
st at e of non-resist ance, or bet t er said, in t he st at e of allowing.
So, not only will you have t he benef it of an expanded imaginat ion, but your point of at t ract ion will shif t ,
and your lif e experience will t hen shif t as well. Not only will your f inancial sit uat ion improve, but all
manner of t hings t hat you have f ocused upon wit h pleasure will begin t o f low int o your experience.
You can st art t he game or st op it , and you can play it in any way you like. There are no rules; t here is
not hing t hat you should or of t he t ime, in a way t hat allows t he t hings t hat you want t o f low int o your
experience.
Playing t his game will cause you t o of f er a more expansive, expect ant vibrat ion. And it is our promise t o
you t hat manif est at ions will begin t o arrive in response t o your changed vibrat ion.
 Process #6 The Process of Meditation

When t o Use This Process:

• When you want relief f rom resist ance.
• When you want an easier way of immediat ely raising your vibrat ion.
• When you want t o raise your general level of vibrat ion.
• When you want t o f eel an awareness of your Inner Being.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This process of Medit at ion will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is ranging
somewhere bet ween: (1) Joy/ Knowledge/ Empowerment / Freedom/ Love/ Appreciat ion and (22)
Fear/ Grief / Depression/ Despair/ Powerlessness.
Any t hought t hat you cont inue t o t hink is called a belief . And many of your belief s serve you ext remely
well: t hought s t hat harmonize wit h t he knowledge of your Source, and t hought s t hat mat ch t he desires
t hat you hold. . . but some of your belief s do not serve you well: Thought s about your own inadequacy or
your unwort hiness are examples of t hose kinds of t hought s.
Now, wit h an underst anding of t he Laws of t he Universe and some willingness t o deliberat ely choose
t hought s, you can, in t ime, replace all hindering belief s wit h lif e-giving belief s, but here is a process t hat
can give you t he immediat e benef it of changing your belief s in a much short er t ime. We call t his t he
process of Medit at ion.
We playf ully t ell our physical f riends t hat t he reason we t each t he process of Medit at ion is because it is
easier f or most of you t o clear your minds, having no t hought , t han it is f or you t o t hink pure, posit ive
t hought s. For when you quiet your mind, you of f er no t hought ; and when you do so, you of f er no
resist ance; and when you have act ivat ed no resist ant t hought , t he vibrat ion of your Being is high and f ast
and pure.
Imagine a cork bobbing on a body of wat er. (That represent s t he place of high, pure, f ast vibrat ion t hat is
act ually nat ural t o you. ) Now, imagine holding t he cork down under t he wat er. (That is what resist ance is
like. ) And now, imagine let t ing go of t he cork—and see it rise back up t o t he surf ace of t he wat er.
Like t he cork, nat urally f loat ing on t he wat er’ s surf ace, it is nat ural f or you t o experience t he high, f ast ,
pure vibrat ion, f ree of t he hindering resist ance. And, like t he cork, if you are not doing somet hing t hat
holds you down under t he wat er, you will bob right back up t o t he surf ace where you belong. In ot her
words, you do not have t o work at being in t he high vibrat ion t hat is nat ural t o you, because it is nat ural
t o you. But you do have t o st op holding t he t hought s t hat cause you t o lower your vibrat ion. It is a mat t er
of no longer giving your at t ent ion t o t hings t hat do not allow your cork t o f loat or do not allow you t o
vibrat e in harmony wit h who you really are. If you are not f ocused upon unwant ed t hings t hat are t he
opposit e of your own pure desire, you will act ivat e no vibrat ion of resist ance—and you will experience
your nat ural st at e of t hriving and Well-Being.
A decision is t he f ocusing of t he vibrat ion of desire, and t he decision point happens when t he desire is
powerf ul enough. The only discipline t hat we would like you t o exercise is t o make a decision t hat not hing
is more import ant t han t hat you f eel good, and t hat you are going t o f ind t hought s t hat f eel bet t er. Your
cork f loat ing is t he only t hing t hat is wort hy of discipline.
You could say t hat t he process of Medit at ion is a short cut t o changing your belief s, f or in t he absence of
t hought , t here is no resist ance wit hin you; and your cork, so t o speak, bobs nat urally back up t o t he
surf ace.
Now, t o begin t he process of Medit at ion, sit in a quiet space where you are not likely t o be int errupt ed.
Wear comf ort able clot hing. It does not mat t er if you sit in a chair or on t he f loor, or even lie on your bed
(unless you t end t o f all asleep when doing so). The import ant t hing is t hat your body be comf ort able.
Now, close your eyes, relax, and breat he. Slowly draw air int o your lungs, and t hen enj oy t he comf ort able
release of t hat air (your personal comf ort here is very import ant ).
As your mind wanders, gent ly release any t hought , or at least do not encourage it by pondering it
f urt her—and ref ocus upon your breat hing.
You are, by nat ure, one who want s t o f ocus, so in t he beginning, t his process of Medit at ion will f eel
unnat ural, and you will f ind your mind want ing t o ret urn t o t hings you have been f ocusing on previously.
When t hat happens, relax, breat he again, and t ry t o release t he t hought .
You will f ind it easier t o quiet your mind if you will choose small t hought s t hat do not have t he pot ent ial
f or expanding int o somet hing int erest ing: You could f ocus upon your own breat hing. You could ment ally
count your breat hs, in and out . You could list en t o t he dripping of a f aucet . . . In choosing t he sof t , gent le
t hought , you will leave behind all t hought s of resist ance—and your vibrat ion (like t he cork) will nat urally
rise.
This is not a process where you work on your desires, but inst ead, t his is one of quiet ing your mind. As you
do so, any resist ance will subside, and your st at e of vibrat ion will rise t o it s nat ural, pure st at e.
As you quiet your mind, you may f eel a sense of physical det achment . For example, you may f eel no real
dif f erence bet ween your t oe and your nose. Somet imes you will f eel t he sensat ion of t wit ches and it ches
beneat h your skin. And of t en, once you have released resist ance and are soaring in your nat ural pure,
high vibrat ions—you will f eel an involunt ary movement in your body. It may sway slight ly f rom side t o side
or f orward and backward, or your head may roll gent ly f rom side t o side. Or, you may simply f eel t he
sensat ion of movement or of a yawn. But any or all of t hese sensat ions or movement s are indicat ors of
your achievement of a st at e of Medit at ion. Your point of at t ract ion will now have changed, and your st at e
of allowing will be in place. Things t hat you have been asking f or— all of which have been given—are now
f lowing gent ly int o your experience. And as you come out of your st at e of medit at ion, t his st at e of
allowing will cont inue unt il you f ocus upon somet hing t hat changes your vibrat ional f requency. But wit h
enough pract ice, t hose higher f requencies will become so f amiliar t o you t hat you will be able t o reclaim
t hem whenever you choose.
Over t ime, if you medit at e regularly, you will become quit e sensit ive t o t he way t he higher f requencies
f eel wit hin your body. In ot her words, whenever you f ocus on anyt hing t hat causes a dip in your vibrat ion,
you will now be more likely t o recognize it at t he earl y, subt le st ages bef ore t he dip is t oo signif icant —
and you will be able t o easily change your resist ant t hought in order t o maint ain your balance.

Abraham, Speak to Us More about Meditation

Many t eachers, and we are among t hem, t each Medit at ion as a very good process f or raising vibrat ion. An
ef f ect ive Medit at ion would be one t hat dist ract s you f rom any physical awareness t hat causes resist ance
wit hin your vibrat ion, f or when you t urn your at t ent ion away f rom what holds your vibrat ion in a lower
place, your vibrat ion will nat urally rise. It is like a wit hdrawal of Consciousness, but while you are st ill
awake. When you are asleep, you wit hdraw Consciousness, t oo, but when you slumber you are not
consciously aware of what it f eels like t o be in t hat higher vibrat ion. When you are awake and in a st at e
of medit at ion, you can t hen consciously recognize what it f eels like t o be in t hat higher vibrat ion. And in
t ime, you will gain a new sensit ivit y t o your vibrat ion so t hat you will immediat ely know whenever you
are f ocusing on somet hing t hat is causing resist ance.
Somet imes people say, “ Abraham, is it normal f or all hell t o break loose in someone’ s lif e when t hey
begin t he Medit at ion Process?” And we say yes, because you are bringing yourself t o a place of height ened
sensit ivit y so t hat your f ormerly achieved pat t erns of lower vibrat ion are now less comf ort able t o you.

Some Other Ways to Raise Your Vibration

Now, t here are ot her ways of raising your vibrat ions t han Medit at ion, such as list ening t o music t hat
makes your heart sing, j ogging in a beaut if ul place, pet t ing your cat , walking your dog, and so on. These
are j ust some of t he many pleasant act ivit ies t hat cause a release of resist ance and a rise in vibrat ion.
Of t en you are in your highest st at e of connect ion t o Source Energy while you are driving your vehicle.
That is t he reason why t here are relat ively so f ew t raf f ic accident s. The rhyt hm of t he road, t he
dist ract ion f rom what has been bot hering you, and t he idea of going someplace new of t en causes you t o
leave behind t hought s of t hings t hat have been bot hering you.
Your goal is t o release any t hought t hat causes resist ance so t hat you are t hen in a place of pure, posit ive
t hought . It is not a problem if you cannot complet ely quiet your mind—unless your mind is chat t ering
about negat ive t hings. If you are sof t ly t hinking about pleasant t hings during Medit at ion, it can be of
value. For example, af t er spending t ime wit h a f amily t hey adore, Jerry and Est her enj oyed many
pleasant hours of t hought and conversat ion about t hat wonderf ul day. Anyt ime t hey want ed a good-
f eeling moment , t hey had only t o remember somet hing about t hat day—somet hing one of t hem said,
somet hing one of t he children did, t he beaut if ul weat her, t he delicious f ood, t he invigorat ing walk
t hrough t he woods. . .
In ot her words, it is quit e easy t o f ind somet hing t hat is pure, posit ive Energy. Thinking about your pet s
can be a good source of posit ive t hought because animals are so uncondit ional in t heir love. Just f ind any
t hought t hat f eels good when you t hink it , and pract ice it unt il you begin t o set t hat t one wit hin you. And
t hen, ot her good-f eeling t hought s will f ollow.
 Another Example of the Meditation Process
So, here is t he process t hat , if we were in your physical shoes, we would ut ilize: Every day, f or 10 or 15
minut es, and not f or much more t ime t han t hat , we would sit quiet ly by ourselves in some pleasant place
where we would not be int errupt ed—maybe under a t ree, maybe in our vehicle, maybe in t he bat hroom or
garden. . . We would do our best t o shut down our physical senses. In ot her words, we would draw t he
curt ains if t he light was t oo bright ; we would close our eyes; we would choose a quiet place.
We would be aware of breat hing air int o our lungs, and we would be conscious of breat hing out . We would
concent rat e on long breat hs in and long breat hs out . We would breat he air in, and when we t hought it
was all our lungs would comf ort ably hold, we would sof t ly bring st ill more air in. And t hen, at a place of
f ull expansion of our lungs, we would t ake a long, slow, delicious moment t o let t he air out . Our int ent ion
would be not hing more t han being in t his moment and being consciously aware of our breat hing, not hing
t o do ot her t han breat he—not f ixing breakf ast , not combing hair, not wondering how someone is doing,
not t hinking about yest erday, not worrying about t omorrow, not f ocusing on anyt hing in t his moment
except air in and air out .
This is a st at e of allowing where, f or j ust a f ew moment s, you st op running t he show. You st op t rying t o
make anyt hing happen. This is t he t ime when you are saying t o your Source Energy, t o your Inner Being,
t o your GOD (or what ever you want t o call it ): Here I am, in a st at e of allowing. I’ m allowing Source
Energy t o f low purely t hrough me.
Fif t een minut es of ef f ort will change your lif e because it will allow t he Energy t hat is nat ural t o you t o
f low. You will f eel bet t er in t he moment , and you wi ll f eel more energized when you come out of it .

Can 15 Minutes Make That Much Difference?

A big benef it t hat you will not ice right away is t hat t hings you have been want ing will begin showing up.
Now, why is t his? “ Af t er all, ” you might say, “ Abraham, I didn’ t sit and int end. I didn’ t sit and set goals. I
didn’ t sit and clarif y what I want . I didn’ t t ell t he Universe what I want ed. Why does 15 minut es of j ust
being, set t hose kinds of t hings in mot ion?” Because you have already been asking, and now, during your
t ime of Medit at ion, you have st opped t he resist ance t hat has been holding it away. Because of your
pract iced Medit at ion, you are now allowing your desires t o f low int o your experience.
You cannot be part of t his physical environment wit hout endless desires being born wit hin you. And as
t hese desires are being born wit hin you, t he Universe is answering t hem. And now, because of 15 minut es
of allowing, whet her you were pet t ing t he cat , pract icing your breat hing, list ening t o a wat erf all or
soot hing music, or were on a Rampage of Appreciat ion, f or t hat t ime of allowing yon est ablished a
vibrat ion t hat no longer caused resist ance t o t he t hings t hat you have been asking f or.
“ Well, Abraham, if I’ ve been really negat ive f or 50 years, is it going t o t ake me 50 years t o t urn it
around?” No, 15 minut es ought t o do it .
“ In 15 minut es I can undo all of t he di sallowing t hat I’ ve learned t o do?” In 15 minut es you can allow—you
do not have t o undo anyt hing.
“ Well, what if I’ ve really developed maj or habit s of negat ivit y? Is 15 minut es going t o change t hat ?”
Probably not . But t he next t ime you go t o one of t hose negat ive t hought s, you are going t o be more aware
of it . Your guidance syst em is going t o be st imulat ed so t hat you will be aware—probably f or t he f irst t ime
in your lif e—of what you are doing wit h your Non-Physical Energy.
That is so import ant , because everyt hing t hat happens t o you and everyt hing t hat happens t o everyone
you know, occurs because of t he Energy t hat you are summoning and allowing or not allowing. Everyt hing
is about t hat relat ionship wit h Energy. Everyone you know, who is having every experience t hat you know,
is having it because of t he f ocused desire t hat t heir lif e has brought t o t hem and t he st at e of allowing or
resist ance t hat t hey’ re in at any moment .

What Could I Accomplish in 30 Days?

Do you know t hat you could have every deadly disease known t o man (and some t hey have not even
f igured out yet ) in your body right now, and t omorrow t hey could all be gone if f rom one day t o t he next
you learned how t o allow t he Energy t o f low? We are really not encouraging t hose kinds of quant um leaps;
t hey’ re a lit t le uncomf ort able. What we are really encouraging is t hat every day, you be self ish enough t o
say, “ Not hing is more import ant t han t hat I f eel good. And I’ m going t o f ind ways t o do so t oday. I’ m
going t o begin my day by medit at ing and bringing myself int o alignment wit h my Source Energy. And as I
move t hrough t he day, I’ m going t o look f or opport unit ies t o appreciat e, so t hat all day long I’ ll bring
myself back int o Source Energy. If t here’ s an opport unit y t o praise, I’ m going t o praise. If t here’ s an
opport unit y t o crit icize, I’ m going t o keep my mout h shut and t ry t o medit at e. If I f eel like crit icizing, I’ ll
say, ‘ Here kit t y, kit t y, ’ and I’ ll pet my cat t ill t hat f eeling goes away. ”
Wit hin 30 days of mild ef f ort , you can go f rom being one of t he most resist ant people on t he planet t o one
of t he least resist ant people on t he planet . And t hen t hose who are wat ching you will be amazed by t he
number of manif est at ions t hat begin t o occur in your physical experience.
We sort of see you f rom an aerial view, and it is like you are st anding on one side of a closed door, and on
t he ot her side are all t he t hings you have been want ing, j ust leaning up against t he door, wait ing f or you
t o open it . They have been t here f rom t he f irst moment you asked f or t hem: your lovers, your perf ect
bodies, your ideal j obs, all t he money t hat you could ever imagine, all t he t hings t hat you have ever
want ed! Things lit t le and t hings big, t hings t hat you would call ext raordinary and signif icant and t hings
t hat you would call not very signif icant —everyt hing t hat you have ever ident if ied t hat you have ever
want ed will be lined up right out side your door.
And in t he moment t hat you open t he door, all t hings want ed will f low t o you. And t hen we will hold a
seminar on “ How t o Deal wit h Manif est at ions of All This St uf f That Is Flowing In. ”
 Process #7 Evaluating Dreams

When t o Use This Process:

• When you want t o underst and whyyou are having a part icular dream.
• When you want t o underst and what your vibrat ional point of at t ract ion is, and what you are in t he
process of creat ing even bef ore it manif est s int o your real-lif e experience.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This process of Evaluat ing Dreams will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is
ranging somewhere bet ween: (1) Joy/ Knowledge/ Empowerment / Freedom/ Love/ Appreciat ion and (22)
Fear/ Grief / Depression/ Despair/ Powerlessness.
What you t hink about and what manif est s in your lif e experience is always a vibrat ional mat ch, and, in
t he same way, what you t hink about and what manif est s in your dream st at e is always a vibrat ional
mat ch.
Your dominant t hought s always mat ch your manif est at ions, and so, once you underst and t he absolut e
correlat ions bet ween your t hought s, how you f eel, and what is manif est ing in your experience, you can
t hen accurat ely predict everyt hing t hat will come int o your lif e.
It is nice when you are aware of your t hought s and t heref ore aware of what you are creat ing bef ore it
manif est s, but it is also of value, af t er somet hing has manif est ed, t o t hen acknowledge t he t hought s t hat
led up t o it . In ot her words, you can make t he conscious associat ion bet ween your t hought s, f eelings, and
manif est at ions bef ore t he manif est at ion occurs or af t er t he manif est at ion occurs. Bot h are helpf ul.
When you dream about somet hing, it is always a mat ch t o t he t hought s t hat you have been t hinking. And
so, since each of your dreams is, in f act , your creat ion, it is not possible f or you t o dream about anyt hing
t hat you have not creat ed t hrough your t hought s. The f act t hat it has now manif est ed in your dream st at e
means t hat you have given it a signif icant amount of t hought .
The essence of t he way you f eel about t he t hings you t hink about most will event ually manif est in your
real-lif e experience— but it t akes even less t ime and at t ent ion f or it t o manif est in your dream st at e. And
f or t hat reason, your dreams can be of immense value in helping you underst and what you are in t he
process of creat ing in your awake st at e. If you are in t he process of creat ing somet hing t hat you do not
want , it would be easier t o change t he direct ion of your t hought s bef ore it manif est s t han wait ing t o
change your t hought s af t er it manif est s.
The process f or Evaluat ing Dreams is as f ollows: As you go t o bed, consciously acknowledge t hat your
dreams accurat ely ref lect your t hought s. Say t o yourself , It is my int ent ion t o rest well and t o awaken
ref reshed. And if t here is anyt hing import ant f or me t o recall f rom my dream st at e, I will recall it when I
awaken.
Then, as you awaken, bef ore you get up, lie t here f or a f ew minut es and ask yourself , Do I remember
anyt hing f rom my dream st at e? Alt hough you may be able t o recall dif f erent aspect s of your dream st at e
t hroughout t he day, usually t he best chance of recalling your dreams is when you f irst awaken. And as you
begin t o recall one of your dreams, relax and t ry t o remember how you f elt during t he dream sequence,
f or recalling your emot ions will give you even more import ant inf ormat ion t han recalling t he det ails of
your dream.
You must give signif icant at t ent ion t o any subj ect f or it t o become powerf ul enough t o manif est in your
experience. And quit e a bit of at t ent ion must also be given t o a subj ect bef ore it will begin t o show up in
your dream st at e. For t hat reason, your more meaningf ul dreams are always accompanied by st rong
emot ion. The emot ion may f eel good or bad—but it will always be st rong enough so t hat you wiU
recognize t he f eeling.
“ How did I f eel as t hat was happening?” If you have awakened f rom a very good-f eeling dream, you can
be conf ident t hat your dominant t hought s surrounding t hat subj ect are point ed t oward manif est at ions
t hat you do want . When you awaken f rom a bad-f eeling dream, know t hat your dominant t hought s are in
t he process of at t ract ing somet hing t hat you do not want ; however, no mat t er where you st and in t erms
of what is manif est ing in your experience, you can always make a new decision and change t he
manif est at ion t o somet hing t hat is even more pleasing.
It is t ruly more f ulf illing t o consciously creat e increasingly sat isf ying scenarios in your lif e experience t han
it is f or you t o creat e by def ault t hings t hat you really do not want —and t hen t ry t o t urn t hose around t o
t hings t hat you do want . For once somet hing does manif est , t hen you have all t hat observing-of -t he-
unwant ed-t hing t o deal wit h as well as t he habit of t hought t hat brought it about t o begin wit h.
As soon as you begin t o underst and t hat your dreams are wonderf ul ref lect ions of how you really f eel and
what you are creat ing, t hen you can begin t o deliberat ely change your t hought s in order t o posit ively
af f ect your dreams. And as soon as you receive t he posi t ive dream, you will know t hat you are on t he pat h
of a more posit ive real-lif e manif est at ion.
If you awaken f rom a bad dream, do not worry; inst ead, f eel appreciat ion f or your awareness t hat you
have been giving at t ent ion t o somet hing you do not want . In t he same way you appreciat e t he sensors in
your skin t hat alert you t o t he f act t hat you are approaching somet hing t hat is very hot , appreciat e t hat
your emot ions have made you aware t hat your t hought s are approaching somet hing unwant ed.
Now, you do not creat e while you are dreaming. Your dream is a manif est at ion of what you have been
t hinking during your awake st at e. However, once you are awake and you are now t hinking about , or
discussing, your dream, t hose t hought s do af f ect your f ut ure creat ions.
It is helpf ul t o keep a writ t en record of your dreams, but it is not necessary t o be ext remely elaborat e in
t he recording of t he det ails. Record t he general set t ing where t he dream t ook place, t he basic people
who appeared in t he dream, what you were doing in t he dream, what ot hers were doing in t he dream,
and, most signif icant ly, how you f elt wit hin t he dream.
You may discover more t han one emot ion wit hin t he dream, but t he emot ions will not be very dif f erent
f rom each ot her. For example, you would not f eel bot h ecst at ic and angry in t he same dream because t he
vibrat ional f requency of t hose t wo emot ions is t oo ext reme t o show up in t he same dream. So, once you
have ident if ied how t he dream f elt , if you want t o do somet hing about changing or enhancing t hat
emot ion, you may want t o move on t o Process #22: Moving Up t he Emot ional Scale.

Abraham, Speak to Us More about Evaluating Dreams

Dreams can give you a wonderf ul insight int o your current vibrat ional st at e of being. Your recall of a
dream is your physical t ranslat ion of blocks of Non-Physical t hought t hat you have int eract ed wit h in your
dream st at e. When you sleep, you reemerge back int o t he Energy of t he Non-Physical, and you have
conversat ions but not conversat ions in words, but vibrat ional ones). Then, as you are awakening, you
t ranslat e t hat block of t hought back int o it s physical equivalent .
Somet imes when you have want ed somet hing f or a long while but you do not see any way f or it t o really
happen, you will experience a dream where it does happen. And t hen, in t he pleasant recollect ion of t he
dream, you sof t en your vibrat ion of resist ance—and t hen your desire can be f ulf illed.
Many years ago, Jerry and Est her were mut ually involved in a business ent erprise, but t hey were not
romant ically involved. They f elt appreciat ion f or one anot her, but t here was not a romant ic f eeling
because neit her of t hem would allow t hemselves t o have t hat . Each of t hem, due t o circumst ances and
belief s, had not even t ipt oed int o t hat arena of t hought relat ive t o one anot her.
One night , Est her dreamed t hat Jerry (she saw him clearly) kneeled by her bedside and kissed her on t he
cheek, very much like t he f airy t ales t hat she had heard as a child. And when he t ouched her on t he f ace
wit h his lips, an ext raordinary f eeling began surging t hrough her—a f eeling of exhilarat ion, a f eeling t hat
all was well, a f eeling beyond descript ion. It was a f eeling t hat she had never experienced, asleep or
ot herwise. And when she awakened, she could not st op t hinking about t hat dream, and she could never
again t hink of Jerry in t he way she did bef ore her dream. This dream lef t a f eeling in her t hat she had not
known bef ore. It was so delicious t hat she t ried t o dream it again and again. And if she was not able t o
dream it , t hen she would j ust t ry t o remember it . She want ed t o recapt ure t he f eeling of t hat dream. And
t hat vibrat ion was t he cat alyst t hat brought t hem t oget her.
Est her had been t hinking t hings like I want t o live happily ever af t er. I want a part ner who appreciat es
me. I want a j oyf ul lif e experience. As Est her had been t hinking t hose t hings, even t hough she was living
t he lack of much of it , her Inner Being, hearing her want ing, of f ered her somet hing visual and sensual,
somet hing t angible enough so t hat she could not f orget it —and somet hing pot ent enough t hat it kept
calling her. And as she f lowed Energy t oward it —oh, what a product ive segment of t ime t hat was!

Dreams As Sneak Previews of Your Future

Now if you have t hings you want , but t hey are not t he t hings t hat you have any t ouchst ones about in your
own lif e. . . f or inst ance, you may want t o be well, but you have never been well; or you might want t o be
prosperous, but you have never been prosperous; or you want a loving mat e, but you have never had a
loving mat e. . . t alk t o your Inner Being about what you want and why you want it . And let your Inner Being
of f er t o you, in your dream st at e, images t hat you can f low Energy t oward, which will cause your
vibrat ional st at e t o be as you want it t o be. And t hen t he Law of At t ract ion will bring it t o you.
Your dreams are manif est at ions of your vibrat ional point of at t ract ion, so you can evaluat e your dreams
t o det ermine what you are really doing wit h your vibrat ion. Your dreams are sort of a sneak preview of
t hat which is t o come, so if you evaluat e t he cont ent of your dream, you can of t en det ermine what your
point of at t ract ion is, and t hen if you do not wish t o live out t he dream you have been dreaming, you can
do somet hing about changing it .
As a result of what t he inf luence surrounding you has been encouraging you t o t hink, you may be f lowing
Energy t oward f inancial disast er, you may be f lowing Energy t oward a body t hat will not f unct ion well,
and so on. As such, your Inner Being, which is aware t hat you are proj ect ing sickness int o your f ut ure,
may of f er you a dream showing you where you are going. And so, you awaken and you say, Ah, I don’ t
want t hat ! And t hen you say, What is it I do want ? And why do I want it ? And t hen you st art f lowing your
Energy product ively t oward what you do want , t ransmut ing your Energy and t hereby changing your f ut ure
experience.

 Abraham, Speak to Us More about the Book of Positive Aspects

Imagine a beaut if ul cit y. Not a big cit y, but a perf ect cit y. The t raf f ic f lows nicely. There are beaut if ul
point s of int erest . Living and working in t his cit y is a wonderf ul experience. As you t hink about t his cit y as
we have described it t o you, you may be t hinking, I could live t here happily ever af t er. Oh, but t here’ s
one lit t le t hing we f orgot t o ment ion: There is a very deep pot hole on Sixt h Avenue.
Now, if you were t o f ocus on t he posit ive aspect s of t his cit y, it is our expect at ion t hat if you were t o live
in t his cit y, you would live happily ever af t er. Most people have not been int roduced t o t heir lif e by
someone who was point ing out t he posit ive aspect s of it ; inst ead, most have been int roduced more of t en
by someone saying, Wat ch out f or t he pot hole on Sixt h Avenue! And so, because of t he negat ive
orient at ion t hat surrounds t hem, most are consumed by t he pot hole.
Let us say t hat someone has been declared t erminally ill; her doct or has given her a deat h sent ence. And
yet , t he maj orit y of her body, over 99 percent of it , is as t his magical cit y—it is f unct ioning well. All t he
art eries of t raf f ic are working very well. It is j ust t hat because of t he at t ent ion t he doct or has given it ,
she is now giving her f ull at t ent ion t o t he “ pot hole” —unt il it will event ually consume her cit y.

Remove Your Attention from the City’ s Potholes

“ As I f ocus upon what I want , I f eel good. If I f ocus upon lack of what I want , I will f eel bad. ”
So let ’ s t ake it a lit t le f urt her. Can you f ocus upon more t han one t hing at a t ime? You cannot . Can you
f eel more t han one way at a t ime? Can you f eel good and bad at t he same t ime? You cannot . And so, is it
not logical—f or it cert ainly f alls wit hin t he guidelines of t he Law of At t ract ion—t hat if you are f ocusing
upon what you do want , you cannot , at t he same t ime, be f ocusing upon what you do not want ? And, if ,
when you f ocus upon what you want , you will f eel good; and, if , when you f eel good, you would be in t he
posit ive mode of at t ract ion, t hen would not your most import ant work be t o look f or t he posit ive aspect s
of all t hings, t o look f or t he part s of all t hings t hat are uplif t ing t o you—and t o get your at t ent ion of f of
t he pot holes?
Somet imes, when f irst learning about Deliberat e Creat ion, our physical f riends will worry. They are af raid
t hat every negat ive t hought t hey t hink is going t o reach out int o t he cosmos and bring some monst er int o
t heir experience. We want t o ease your f ear bv reminding you t hat you are living t he balance of your
t hought , so it requires quit e a bit of t hought about somet hing bef ore it will manif est in your experience.
But as a people who have lived in a societ y t hat is predominant ly orient ed t oward crit icism and t o what is
wrong, always want ing t o f ace t he f act s, you have become t hose, even in your individual t hought s, who
predominant ly worry, rat her t han predominant ly know t hat all is well.
We want t o encourage you t o give more of your at t ent ion t o what makes you f eel good—not somet hing so
radical t hat you must cont rol every t hought —j ust make a decision t hat you will look ‘ or what you want t o
see. It is not a dif f icult decision t o make, but it can make a big dif f erence in what you bring int o your
experience.

Give Attention to What Feels Good

Somet hing t hat is realit y seems like it deserves your at t ent ion, it ’ s t rue, af t er all, it ’ s t rue. Shouldn’ t I
document it ? Shouldn’ t I count it ? Shouldn’ t I make t he st at ist ics of it ? Shouldn’ t I t ell ot hers about it ?
Shouldn’ t I warn my children about it ?”
Shouldn’ t we beat t he drum of t hese t hings t hat we do not want , because t hey are realit y, and t heref ore
make t hem more realit y? And, we ask, why would you do t hat ? Why not look out int o t he dat abase of
creat ion and select ively sif t t he realit ies t hat you want t o replicat e, and beat t hose drums? And your
answer is never a good enough one. It is: “ We do it because it ’ s realit y. We do it because somebody else
did it . ”
If we were st anding in your physical shoes, we would not let t he realit y of somet hing be our basis f or
at t ent ion; we would let t he f eeling-vibrat ion of it be our basis. So we would st art saying t o anyone who
was int erest ed in knowing what we were about , “ If it f eels good, I give it my f ull at t ent ion; if it doesn’ t , I
don’ t look at it at all. ”
And you know what t hey’ ll say t o you? “ You should f ace realit y! ” So answer back, “ I do—I do it all t he
t ime. I’ ve j ust become a more select ive sif t er of t he realit y t hat I f ace. Because I’ ve begun t o discover
t hat what ever realit y I’ m f acing; what ever realit y I’ m t alking about , t hinking about , remembering,
regurgit at ing; what ever realit y I’ m making st at ist ics of ; what ever realit y I’ m holding f or very long in my
vibrat ion, becomes my own realit y. And I’ ve become part icular about t he realit ies t hat I replicat e in my
experience because I’ ve discovered t hat I can creat e realit y. I can creat e realit y! I can creat e realit y—and
I can choose t he realit y t hat I’ m creat ing. ”
Oh, we love saying t hat t o you. You are creat ors, and you can creat e anyt hing t hat you want , but t here’ s
a bet t er way of saying it : You can and will creat e anyt hing t hat you are giving your at t ent ion t o.

Wherever You Go, You Will Be There, Too

Jerry and Est her had been giving workshops at a hot el in Aust in, Texas, which seemed t o regularly f orget
t hat t hey were coming. Even t hough cont ract s had been signed and Est her had called on t he day of arrival
t o conf irm, when t hey got t here, t he sweet girl behind t he desk always act ed surprised. And t hen t here
was always a scurry t o get t hings ready f or t heir workshop. Est her said t o us, “ Maybe we should f ind
anot her hot el! ” And we said, t hat is one way of going about it —but it is our expect at ion t hat wherever
you go, you will t ake yourself wit h you, f or you t ake your vibrat ional habit s and pat t erns wit h you
everywhere you go.
So we t old t hem t o buy a not ebook, and across t he f ront of it , in bold let t ers, writ e: My Book of Posit ive
Aspect s. And t hen t urn t o t he f irst page and writ e: Posit ive Aspect s of Sout hpark Hot el in Aust in. So Est her
began t o writ e: “ It is a beaut if ul f acilit y. It is well sit uat ed, very easy access t o t he int erst at e, and easy
t o give direct ions t o. The parking lot is adequat e and convenient . Our room is always very clean. There
are many sizes of rooms, so we can accommodat e what ever size group will be at t ending. . . ” And as she
made t hese ent ries, she f ound herself wondering why she had ever considered f inding a new hot el. In
ot her words, her at t ent ion t o t he posit ive aspect s put her in such a mode of f eeling good about t his hot el
t hat (it is our knowing) she cannot at t ract anyt hing t hat is not good f rom t hat hot el. In ot her words, she
t ook her at t ent ion—by virt ue of her deliberat e writ ing in t his book—of f of t he pot hole.

Is It Inspiration, or Is It Motivation?

You can look at t his in t wo dif f erent ways: If I do such and such, t hese good t hings will happen, or If I
don’ t do such and such, t hese bad t ilings will happen. The f irst inspires you t o act ion f rom a posit ive
place. The second mot ivat es you t o act ion f rom a negat ive place.
Your Book of Posit ive Aspect s will put you more and more in t he posit ion of at t ract ing—by virt ue of your
inspired posit ive f eeling—what ever you desire.
 Process #9 Scripting

When t o Use This Process:

• When you are f eeling good and want t o add specif ci s t o what you are creat ing in your lif e experience.
• When you want t he t hrill of ident if ying and writ ni g down t hings you would like t o experience, and t hen
seeing t he Universe deliver t o you t he det ails you described.
• When you want t o consciously experience t he power of your specif ically f ocused t hought .

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Script ing Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is ranging
somewhere bet ween: (2) Passion and (6) Hopef ulness.
Est her t urned on t he t elevision one evening and f ound herself immediat ely capt ivat ed by a movie t hat
was well under way by t he t ime she f ound it . In t his movie, a seemingly unsuccessf ul script writ er was j ust
discovering t hat his t ypewrit er seemed t o be magical. Each day, af t er he had described t he scenes and
writ t en t he words t hat t he act ors would speak, t hese same t hings would t hen come t o pass in his own
experience. And so, if a sit uat ion was not going t he way he want ed it t o, he went t o his t ypewrit er and
wrot e an improved version, and t hat scenario would t hen play out in his lif e experience.
As Est her wat ched t he movie, we said t o her, “ That is really t he way it always works. As you f ocus clearly
upon t hings you desire, and hold no cont radict ory vibrat ion t hat causes resist ance—what ever you desire
must be. For when you ask, it is always given, every t ime, wit h no except ions. ” If somet hing t hat you
desire is not coming, it can only be t hat you are not allowing it t o come because of t he t hought s t hat you
pract ice t hat are cont rary t o your own desire. Not hing else prohibit s you f rom realizing every dream.
So, t his is how t he Script ing Process works: Pret end t hat you are a writ er and t hat what ever you writ e will
be perf ormed exact ly as you writ e it . Your only j ob is t o describe, in det ail, everyt hing, exact ly as you
want it t o be.
As you are having f un playing t his game, and are not t aking it t oo seriously, any of your hindering belief s
are less likely t o be act ivat ed. In ot her words, by pret ending t hat your t ypewrit er, word processor,
comput er, or not ebook is magical, and t hat what ever you writ e can be realized, you accomplish t he t wo
t hings t hat are necessary in t he achievement of anyt hing: You f ocus t he lens of your desire, and you of f er
no resist ance.
This process will help you be more specif ic about your desires, and, wit h t hat great er clarit y about
exact ly what you do desire, you will f eel t he power of t his specif ic f ocus. The longer you concent rat e on a
subj ect , and t he more det ail you give t o it , t he f ast er t he Energy moves. And, wit h pract ice, you can
act ually f eel t he moment um of your desire; you can f eel t he Universal Forces converging. Of t en, you will
be able t o know when you are upon t he brink of a breakt hrough or a manif est at ion j ust by virt ue of t he
way you f eel.
Because of t he whimsical approach of t his game, you are less hkely t o bring t o your point of f ocus
t hought s of doubt or disbe-bet . As you st ay light and playf ul, you will be able t o maint ain a specif ic f ocus
in t he absence of resist ance, and again, you will have achieved t he perf ect balance f or t he creat ion of
anyt hing.
If you play t he game of t en, and enj oy it when you pl ay it , you will begin t o see amazing evidence of t he
power of t he game. Things t hat you have writ t en will begin t o occur in your experience as if you are
direct ing a play upon a st age. And when someone you are int eract ing wit h says words t o you t hat you
have script ed, you will be delight ed as you recognize t he power of your own int ent .
You are t he vibrat ional writ ers of t he script of your lif e—and everyone else in t he Universe is playing t he
part t hat you have assigned t o t hem. You can lit erally script any lif e t hat you desire, and t he Universe will
deliver t o you t he people, places, and event s j ust as you decide t hem t o be. For you are t he creat or of
your own experience—you have only t o decide it and allow it t o be.

Abraham, Speak to Us More about Scripting

Script ing is one of t hose processes t hat we of f er t o assist you in t elling t he Universe t he way you want it
t o be. If you are already in vibrat ional harmony wit h your desire, you know it , because your desire is
already a physical realit y. But if t here is somet hing t hat you want t hat has not yet come t o f ruit ion, t hen
Script ing is a good way t o speed it up. Script ing will help you break your habit of t alking about t hings as
t hey are, and will help you begin t alking about how %ou would like t hings t o be. Script ing will help you
of f er your vibrat ion deliberat ely.

Script the Plot You’ d Like to Live

We would begin by ident if ying ourselves as t he cent ral charact er, t hen we would ident if y t he ot her main
charact ers in t he scenario, and t hen we would writ e t he plot . (It is most ef f ect ive if you writ e it ,
especially in t he beginning, because writ ing is your most powerf ul point of f ocus. But you do not have t o
keep writ ing it over and over again. )
One day a woman was pract icing one of her script s wit h us, and she said, “ I see t wo people walking down
t he beach. ” We t eased her by asking, “ Well, are you one of t hem?” The point we were making was t hat
t he whole point of writ ing t he script is t o begin t o f eel lif e experiences in t he way you would like t o live
t hem.
The purpose of t his process is t o pract ice t he f eeling of t he lif e you would like t o live. The Universe does
not know or care if what you are vibrat ing is in response t o somet hing t hat you are living, or in response
t o somet hing t hat you are imagining—in eit her case, t he Universe will deliver it t o you.
If you regurgit at e your script of t en enough, you begin t o accept it as realit y, and when you are accept ing
it in t he way you accept realit y—t he Universe believes it and responds in t he same way.
 Process #10: The Place Mat Process

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Place Mat Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is ranging
somewhere bet ween: (2) Passion and (11) overwhelment .
As Jerry and Est her’ s lif e evolved, and as t heir ideas and proj ect s expanded, Est her began carrying a
not ebook t hat cont ained her list of t hings she needed t o do. The list had evolved t o several pages, and
was comically called “ Things t o Do Today. ” Well, t en people could not have accomplished t his list in only
one day.
Wit h each new ent ry t o her list , Est her f elt heavier and less f ree. Because of her desire t o be of value,
and because of her willing nat ure, she had creat ed a huge sense of responsibilit y, and her f eeling of
f reedom was being crushed by t he weight of it .
Sit t ing in a rest aurant and wait ing f or t heir meal t o be delivered t o t he t able, Est her pored t hrough t he
pages of her list . Occasionally she would cross of f somet hing already accomplished, and immediat ely,
wit h each omission, she would t hink of t hree more it ems t o add t o t he list . As a sense of hopelessness
washed t hrough her, she asked us, “ Abraham, what should I do?”
Take t his large paper place mat , we explained, and we will guide you. Draw a line down t he cent er of
your place mat , and as a heading on t he lef t side of t he line, writ e: Things I Will Do Today. As a heading
on t he right side of t he line, writ e: Things I Would Like t he Universe t o Do.
Now, looking over your long Things t o Do Today list , select only t hose t hings t hat you absolut ely int end t o
do t his day. Things you f eel you must do. Things you really want t o do. Select only t hose t hings t hat , no
mat t er what , you int end t o do t oday, and ent er t hem on t he lef t side of your Place Mat beneat h t he
heading: Things I Will Do Today. And now, ent er all ot her t asks on t he Universe’ s side of your place mat .
Est her looked over t he list and chose a handf ul of t hings t hat she really did need t o do on t his day, and
she ent ered t hem on her s»de of her place mat . And t hen she began t ransf erring her long list of remaining
import ant t asks t o t he Universe’ s side of t he place mat . One by one she t ransf erred her t asks t o t he right
side of t he line, and as each t ask was t ransf erred, she f elt light er.
We explained t o Est her t hat in order t o achieve anyt hing, she has only t wo t hings t o accomplish: She must
ident if y her obj ect of desire, and t hen she must get out of t he way of let t ing it happen. In ot her words,
ask, and t hen f ind a way of achieving a vibrat ion t hat allows it —because it is always given, whenever you
ask.
As Est her had been poring over her long list of responsible t asks, ihe was cert ainly amplif ying t he asking
part of t he equat ion, but her cont usion and f eelings of overwhelment were cert ain emot ional indicat ors
t hat she was not in t he vibrat ional st at e of allowing in what she had been asking f or.
During t he process of t ransf erring t hese it ems t o t he Universe’ s sde of t he place mat , her resist ance
began t o sof t en, and her vibrat ion began t o lif t . And while she did not realize it in t hat moment , her
point of at t ract ion had shif t ed, and she had begun, immediat ely, t o allow t he realizat ion of her desires.
What Est her experienced in t he next f ew days lef t her f eeling amazed. Not only was she able t o easily
accomplish her own short and manageable list , but t he it ems on t he Universe’ s side of t he place mat were
accomplished, t oo—but wit hout requiring Est her’ s t ime, at t ent ion, or act ion. People she had been unable
t o reach by t elephone called her. Employees on her st af f f elt inspired t o assist in some way, and t hey
would accomplish somet hing t hat was on Est her’ s list and t hen report it t o her af t er it was done, wit hout
Est her’ s at t ent ion or request . Time seemed t o st ret ch t o allow more t o be accomplished, and her t iming
wit h people and places and t raf f ic improved dramat ically.
The Place Mat Process caused Est her t o f ocus her desires more specif ically and, f or t he f irst t ime, t o
release her resist ance regarding t he same. For when you ask, it is always given—but you do have t o let it
in.

Abraham, Speak to Us More about the Place Mat Process

Very of t en, whenever Est her and Jerry are having lunch, Est her get s a big piece of paper f rom her purse,
and t hen t hey draw a line right down t he middle of t he paper. On t he lef t side t hey writ e, Things t o Do

Est her has always been a big maker of list s. She of t en has about t en days’ work on her Things t o Do Today
list . And very of t en t he list has served as an excuse t o become overwhelmed. In ot her words, wit h so
many t hings t o do t hat she cannot possibly accomplish, t he Things t o Do Today list has sort of dragged her
down. But what she is discovering now is t hat she only put s on her list what she really int ends t o do. And
in t hat way, t here is very lit t le resist ance, even wit h respect t o t he t hings she is going t o do. And
anyt hing else t hat she want s t o do, whet her it is t oday, a year f rom t oday, or t en years f rom t oday, she
writ es on t he right side of t he list —and allows t he Universe t o deal wit h it .
As t hey lef t a rest aurant one day, Jerry said, “ Do you want t o t ake t hat place mat wit h you?” And Est her
replied, “ This is t he best part , t here’ s no f ollow-up. ” She lef t t he list on t he t able; she lef t it t here f or
t he Universe t o deal wit h. There is no f ollow-up, you see, not anyt hing f or her t o drag around and hound
herself about . And so, t hese are t he sort s of t hings t hat you are doing t here when you underst and t hat
t here is t his const ant st eady St ream of Well-Being f lowing t o you.
In t he moment t hat you say “ I pref er” or “ I like” or “ I appreciat e” or “ I want , ” t he heavens part f or you,
and t he Non-Physical Energies, in t hat inst ant , begin orchest rat ing t he manif est at ion of desire. In t hat
inst ant ! Fast er t han you can speak it , t he Energy t o f low, and circumst ances and event s, in an
orchest rat ion t hat we cannot begin t o describe, begin t o f all int o place in order t o give you exact ly what
you want . And if it were not f or your resist ance, t hings would happen really f ast .

Are You Clear about What You Want?

You do not have t o keep t elling t he Universe what you want ; you only have t o t ell t he Universe once. But
t he advant age of cont inuing t o t alk about it is t hat you get clearer about it . Usually you cannot clearly
art iculat e everyt hing you want wit h your f irst st at ement , so t he more you t alk about it , t he more you
f ine-t une it . But as you say “ I want it , ” t he Universe begins manif est ing it , and t hen when you say, “ I
would like it t o be t his way, ” t he Universe modif ies t hat . You say, “ And a lit t le bit of t his would be nice. ”
and t he Universe. . . you see what we are get t ing at ? And once you are clear about what you want ; once
you have zeroed in on it and you know what you want —it is on it s way t o you. It is done. The
manif est at ion of it will probably f ollow lat er, however, because most of t en, t here is enough resist ance
t hat you will not receive it inst ant ly.
 Process #11 Segment Intending

When t o Use This Process:

• When you want your inf luence t o dominat eduring a part icular segment of your day.
• When you recognize t he pot ent ial of somet hing not going quit e right , and you want t o make sure it goes
t he way you want .
• When t ime or money is especially import ant t o you, and you want t o make t he most of it .

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Segment Int ending Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is ranging
somewhere bet ween: (4) Posit ive Expect at ion/ Belief and (11) Overwhelment .
It is easier t o begin wit h a f resh, less powerf ul t hought , and t hen f ocus upon it and cause it t o expand,
t han t o t ry t o change an already expanded powerf ul t hought . In ot her words, it is easier t o creat e an
improved f ut ure experience t han it is t o change a current exist ing experience.
If you are experiencing a physical condit ion t hat has your at t ent ion, you are, t hrough your at t ent ion t o
your current condit ion, proj ect ing it on int o your f ut ure experience. But , by f ocusing on a dif f erent f ut ure
experience, you are now act ivat ing t hat dif f erent experience, and as you proj ect t hat changed experience
int o your f ut ure, you leave your current experience behind.
That is t he power of t he process of Segment Int ending. It is t he process whereby you def ine t he
vibrat ional charact erist ics of t he t ime segment you are moving int o. It is a way of pre-paving your
vibrat ional pat h, so t o speak, f or easier and more enj oyable t ravel.
If you are in a bad mood, meaning t hat t here is considerable resist ance in your vibrat ional f requency,
t hen, because you do not have access t o very dif f erent t hought s f rom where you current ly are, you
usually proj ect t hat same vibrat ional expect at ion int o t he segment t hat you are moving int o. For t hat
reason, we encourage t he applicat ion of Segment Int ending when you are already f eeling good. If you are
f eeling bad in t his moment , t ry one of t he ot her processes in order t o improve your current mood and
point of at t ract ion. And t hen once you are f eeling bet t er, you could ret urn t o t his powerf ul Segment
Int ending process.
This process will help you be more deliberat e about f ocusing your t hought s. It will help you become more
aware of where your t hought s current ly are, and it will help you be able t o more deliberat ely choose t he
t hought s t hat you of f er. In t ime, it will f eel very nat ural t o you t o st op f or a moment upon ent ering a new
segment and direct your own int ent or expect at ion.
You ent er a new segment anyt ime your int ent ions change: If you are washing dishes and t he t elephone
rings, you ent er a new segment . When you get int o your vehicle, you ent er a new segment . When anot her
person walks int o t he room, you ent er a new segment .
If you will t ake t he t ime t o get your t hought of expect at ion st art ed even bef ore you are inside your new
segment , you will be able t o set t he t one of t he segment more specif ically t han if you walk int o t he
segment and begin t o observe it as it already is.
For example, you are cooking dinner and are enj oying t he rhyt hm and f low you have est ablished.
Everyt hing is on schedule, and you expect everyt hing t o t urn out j ust right .
The t elephone rings. (You ent er int o a new segment . ) You set f ort h t he int ent ion not t o answer t he
t elephone. You set f ort h t he int ent ion t hat your answering device can t ake t he call, and you set f ort h t he
int ent ion t hat you will ret urn t he call lat er when you have t ime.
So, t he rhyt hm and f low of your meal preparat ion is not disrupt ed; your segment changed slight ly, but you
maint ained your balance, and all is well.
Or, t he t elephone rings. (You ent er a new segment . ) You remember t hat you have been expect ing an
import ant call, and you do not want t o miss it . You set your int ent ions f or t he segment t o be ef f icient and
brief , and t o gat her t he inf ormat ion quickly and poli t ely. And because of t he posit ive f low you already
have going, your posit ive expect at ion dovet ails int o t hat perf ect ly, so you have prepared t he
conversat ion, even bef ore you pick up t he t elephone, t o comply wit h your good-f eeling int ent ions.
You are act ually pre-paving your f ut ure experiences const ant ly wit hout even knowing you are doing so.
You are cont inually proj ect ing your expect at ions int o your f ut ure experiences, and t his Segment Int ending
process helps you t o consciously consider what you are proj ect ing—and it gives you cont rol of your f ut ure
segment s.
You can pre-pave f ut ure experiences t hat are immediat e, or experiences t hat are in your more dist ant
f ut ure, and once you have an opport unit y t o see how your deliberat e t hought posit ively impact s your
experiences, you will want t o do it even more. And like all processes, t he more you apply it , t he more
skilled you become and t he more f un it is, and t he more ef f ect ive your result s will be.
If t he new segment includes somet hing t hat you have never enj oyed doing, Segment Int ending is not t he
best process t o apply. Of course, it is bet t er t han no deliberat e int ent ion at all, but when you have an
opport unit y, it would be of value t o apply one of t he more heavy-dut y processes (Processes #13 t o #22) t o
t his subj ect .
For example, you are going t o visit your mot her-in-law, who, you believe, has never liked you, or you are
on your way t o work in a t wo-person of f ice wit h someone who annoys you in many ways. . .
Whenever you are set t ing f ort h your int ent ions about how you want t o f eel and how you would like t he
segment t o unf old, it is always benef icial if , when you f ind yourself st ruggling f or a posit ive scenario, t hat
you do not cont inue t he process. Change t he subj ect in your own mind; t hink about somet hing pleasant ,
and apply anot her process lat er.

Abraham, Speak to Us More about Segment Intending

You are living in a wonderf ul physical t ime. You are living in a highly t echnological societ y where you have
access t o st imulat ion of t hought f rom all around your world. You benef it f rom all t his, f or it provides you
an opport unit y f or much growt h, but you also experience some disadvant ages f rom t he st imulat ion of
t hought — and t he disadvant age comes f ort h in t he f orm of conf usion. For while your abilit y t o f ocus upon
a more narrow subj ect brings f ort h clarit y, your abilit y t o f ocus upon many t hings at once brings
conf usion.
You are recept ive Beings. Your t hought processes are very f ast . And as you are considering any one
subj ect , you have t he abilit y, by t he power of t he Law of At t ract ion, t o bring f ort h more and more clarit y
upon t hat subj ect unt il you can accomplish anyt hing regarding it . But because of t he availabilit y of so
much st imulat ion of t hought , very f ew of you remain f ocused upon anyt hing long enough t o t ake it
f orward very f ar. Most of you are so dist ract ed by so much t hought t hat you do not have an opport unit y t o
develop any one t hought t o any great degree.

Here Is the Key to Your Deliberate Creation

The point of t he Segment Int ending Process is t o clearly ident if y what you want so t hat you can
deliberat ely begin t o set f ort h t he at t ract ion of t hat which you want .
Here is t he key t o your Deliberat e Creat ion: See yourself as a magnet , at t ract ing unt o you t he way you
f eel at any point in t ime. When you f eel clear and in cont rol, you will at t ract circumst ances of clarit y.
When you f eel happy, you will at t ract circumst ances of happiness. When you f eel healt hy, you will at t ract
circumst ances of healt h. When you f eel prosperous, you will at t ract circumst ances of prosperit y. When
you f eel loved, you will at t ract circumst ances of love. The way you f eel is act ually your point of
at t ract ion.
And so, t he value of t he Segment Int ending Process is t o encourage you t o pause many t imes during t he
day t o say, “ This is what I want f rom t his period of my lif e experience. I want it and I expect it . ” And as
you set f ort h t hose powerf ul words, you become what we call a Select ive Sif t er. You at t ract int o your
experience what you want .
However, t he reason why segment s are so ef f ect ive is because alt hough t here are many t hings you want
t o consider, when you t ry t o consider t hem all at t he same t ime, you become overwhelmed and conf used.
The value of your int ending, segment by segment , is t hat you do not t ry t o chew on so much at any one
t ime. You say, “ What is it t hat I want now?”
If you want many t hings all at t he same t ime, it adds conf usion. But when you only f ocus upon t he
specif ics of what you want in any part icular moment , you bring clarit y and power t o your creat ion—and
t heref ore, speed. And t hat is t he point of Segment Int ending: t o st op, as you are ent ering a new segment ,
and t o ident if y what it is you most want so t hat you may give your at t ent ion t o (and t heref ore draw,
power unt o) t hat .
Some of you are f ocused during some segment s of your day’ s experience. But t here are very f ew of you
who are f ocused much of your day. And so, an ident if icat ion of segment s—and an int ent t o ident if y what
is most import ant wit hin t hose segment s—will put you in t he posit ion of being a deliberat e, magnet ic
at t ract or, or creat or, in each of your segment s t hroughout your day.
Not only will you f ind t hat you are more product ive, but you will f ind t hat you are happier, f or as you are
deliberat ely int ending, and t hen allowing and receiving, you will f ind great cont ent ment . You are growt h-
seeking Beings, and as you are moving f orward, you are at your happiest . When you are having a f eeling of
st agnat ion, you are not at your happiest .

An Example of a Segment Intending Day

We would like t o guide you t hrough an example of a day where you may be deliberat ely int ending as you
are recognizing t hat you are moving int o new segment s. Let us say t hat you have decided t o apply t his
process bef ore going t o bed at t he end of t he day, and you recognize t hat ent ering int o t he sleep st at e
will be a new segment of lif e experience. And so, as you are lying t here on t he pillow, get t ing ready t o
sleep, set f ort h t he int ent of a rest f ul slumber. Set f ort h t he int ent ion of ref reshing your physical
apparat us, and imagine yourself awakening t he next day f eeling ref reshed.
As you open your eyes in t he morning, recognize t hat you have now ent ered int o a new segment of lif e
experience, and t hat f rom t he t ime you remain in bed unt il t he t ime you remove yourself f rom it is a
segment . Set f ort h your int ent f or t hat t ime: “ While I’ m lying here, I’ m int ending t o have a clear pict ure
of t his day. I’ m int ending t o become exhilarat ed and excit ed about t his day. ” And t hen, as you are lying
t here, you will begin t o f eel t hat ref reshment and exuberance about t he upcoming day.
As you get out of bed, you have now ent ered int o a new segment of lif e experience. This may be t he
segment t hat you are preparing yourself f or t hat day. And so, as you are brushing your t eet h or t aking
your bat h or doing what ever it is you do in t his segment , let your int ent be t o do it ef f icient ly, t o enj oy
yourself , t o have it be an uplif t ing t ime t hat prepares you f or t he day.
As you are preparing breakf ast , let your int ent be t o do it ef f icient ly, and t o select t hat which is most
nut rit iously balanced f or your physical apparat us at t his point in t ime. Let your int ent be t hat you will be
replenished or ref reshed by it , t hat you will enj oy it . And as you set f ort h t his int ent ion, you will not ice
t hat as you are eat ing, you are f eeling more rej uvenat ed, more replenished, and more ref reshed. And you
will enj oy t he f ood more t han if you had not set f ort h t hat int ent t o do so.
As t he t elephone rings, recognize t hat you are now about t o ent er a new segment . And as you pick up t he
phone, ident if y who it is, and t hen clearly set f ort h your int ent bef ore you begin speaking. As you get int o
your vehicle, or as you are t raveling t o your place of work or wherever it is you are going, let your int ent
be t o t ravel f rom one place t o anot her in saf et y, t o f eel invigorat ed and happy as you are moving f ort h, t o
be aware of what t he ot her drivers are int ending or not int ending so t hat you may move t hrough t raf f ic in
a sort of f low, saf ely and ef f icient ly.
When you get out of your vehicle, you have now ent ered int o anot her new segment . And so, pause f or a
moment and imagine yourself walking f rom where you are t o where you are int ending t o go, seeing
yourself f eeling good as you walk, int ending t hat you will move ef f icient ly and saf ely f rom point t o point ,
int ending t o f eel t he vit alit y of your apparat us, int ending t o f eel t he clarit y of your t hinking mechanism,
and set t ing f ort h your vision, or your int ent ion, f or t he next segment in which you are about t o ent er.
Imagine greet ing t he secret ary, t he employees, or t he employer. Imagine seeing yourself as one who
uplif t s ot hers, having a smile ready, recognizing t hat everyone you meet is not deliberat e in t heir
int ending, but knowing t hat by your deliberat e int ending, you will be in cont rol of your lif e experience,
and you will not be swept up by t heir conf usion, t heir int ent , or t heir inf luence.
Of course, your segment s will not be j ust as we have of f ered. And t hey will not be t he same f rom day t o
day. In t he beginning, you will f ind t hat you are not so quick t o ident if y your segment s as you will be af t er
you have done it f or a while. For some, you may f ind it more ef f icient and ef f ect ive t o carry a small
not ebook and physically st op and ident if y t he segment while you writ e a list of your int ent ions in your
not ebook, f or as you are writ ing, you will f ind yourself at your st rongest point of clarit y and at your
st rongest point of f ocus. And so, in t he beginning of t his deliberat e Segment Int ending, you may f ind t he
not ebook a very great and valuable asset .
As you are moving t hrough such a day, you will f eel t he power and t he moment um of your int ent ions
building; you will f ind yourself f eeling gloriously invincible; you will f eel as if t here is not hing t hat you
cannot be, do, or have as you are seeing yourself again and again in creat ive cont rol of your own lif e
experience.
 Process #12 Wouldn’ t It Be Nice If. . . ?

When t o Use This Process:

• When you f ind yourself leaning t oward t he negat ive, and t heref ore of f ering resist ance, and you want t o
t urn it around t o somet hing more posit ive.
• When you are already f eeling good, and you want to f ocus more specif ically on cert ain areas of your lif e
t o make t hem even bet t er.
• When you want t o gent ly guide a negat ive, or pot ent ially negat ive, conversat ion t o a more posit ive
place f or your benef it or t o gent ly guide someone else.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Wouldn’ t It Be Nice If . . . ? Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is
ranging somewhere bet ween: (4) Posit ive Expect at ion/ Belief and (16) Discouragement .
When you say, “ I want t his t hing t o happen t hat hasn’ t happened yet , ” you are not only act ivat ing t he
vibrat ion of your desire, but you are also act ivat ing a vibrat ion of t he absence of your desire—so not hing
changes f or you. And of t en, even when you do not speak t he second part of t he sent ence and you say
only, “ I want t his t o happen, ” t here is an unspoken vibrat ion wit hin you t hat cont inues t o hold you in a
st at e of not allowing your desire.
But when you say, “ Wouldn’ t it be nice if t his desire would come t o me?” you achieve a dif f erent sort of
expect at ion t hat is much less resist ant in nat ure.
Your quest ion t o yourself nat urally elicit s f rom you a more posit ive, expect ant response. And so, t his
simple but powerf ul game will cause a raising of your vibrat ion and an improvement in your point of
at t ract ion because it nat urally orient s you t oward t he t hings t hat you want . The Wouldn’ t It Be Nice If . . . ?
Process will help you let in t he t hings t hat you have been asking f or, on all subj ect s.
Wouldn’ t it be nice if we had t he best t ime we have ever had wit h t hese f riends?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if t he t raf f ic is light and we have a wonderf ul t rip?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if I had a really product ive day at work?
Or, t he subj ect may be t o f ind a wonderf ul new relat ionship. For inst ance:
Wouldn’ t it be nice if I f ind t he most spect acular part ner who adores me in t he same way t hat I adore
him?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if I f ind someone, and we walt z of f int o t he sunset t oget her?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if t here’ s somebody out t here who’ s looking f or somebody j ust like me?
The reason t he Wouldn’ t It Be Nice If . . . ? game is so import ant and so powerf ul is because when you say
“ Wouldn’ t it be nice if . . . ?” you are choosing somet hing t hat you want , and you’ re being sof t and easy
about it . In ot her words, it is not t he end of t he world. It is a much sof t er vibrat ion.

For example, let us say you want t o reduce your body weight . Here is a Wouldn’ t It Be Nice If . . . ? example
f or you:
Wouldn’ t it be nice if I st umbled ont o somet hing t hat really worked f or me?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if my met abolism began t o cooperat e wit h me a lit t le more?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if t he desires t hat I’ ve been holding f or a long t ime sort of came t o a peak, like a
guiding light ?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if I could meet someone who’ s j ust run across somet hing t hat really worked f or t hem,
which would light a f ire in me?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if I could reclaim t he body weight I had when I was such and such an age?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if I looked like I did in t his pict ure?
Your logic would t ell you, “ Hey, I’ ve been at t his f or a long t ime. If I knew how t o do it , or if I was good
at it , I’ d have already got t en it done. ” So you are cont radict ing your own desire. And so, you would hold
yourself in t hat vibrat ion. However, when you are playing Wouldn’ t It Be Nice If . . . ?, much of t hat
vibrat ion is dif f used.
Wouldn’ t it be nice if my physical body came int o alignment wit h my dream?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if I discovered t his t o be much easier t han it ’ s ever been bef ore?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if I came int o Energy alignment , and everyt hing around me came int o vibrat ional
harmony wit h t hat ?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if t he cells of my body cooperat e wit h t he ment al pict ure t hat I’ m holding?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if I could f eel ease about my body?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if my physical body began responding dif f erent ly t o f ood?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if I began f eeling a great er inspirat ion t o exercise?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if t he f ood-burning charact erist ics of my body kicked int o high gear, and t his process
t urned int o an easy, almost ef f ort less scenario?
Wouldn’ t it be nice if my ideas about f ood came int o alignment so t hat I f ind myself t aking such pleasure
f rom f oods t hat are really in vibrat ional harmony wit h what my body want s and needs?
By sof t ly playing t his game, what happens is t hat you hold yourself in t his place of alignment . The ot her
t hing you could do is get of f t hat subj ect alt oget her and never t hink about it again. But t hat is a dif f icult
t hing t o do, because your body sort of goes everywhere you go. In ot her words, it is hard t o get t hat of f
your mind. So, since it is hard t o get it of f your mind, you almost have t o f orce yourself t o choose
pleasant Wouldn’ t It Be Nice If . . . ? t hought s.
One more t hing: Do not expect inst ant result s. Know t hat it is coming int o being in it s perf ect t ime. In
ot her words, you have been encouraging, t hrough your t hought and behavior, a cellular communit y, a
large part of which you are about t o ext inguish. And so, t here is some cellular cooperat ion t hat is going t o
t ake place, and all cells are willing t o cooperat e. They are not sacrif icing; t hey are not holding lit t le
cellular f unerals in advance. There is no mourning going on, as in, “ Ah, she’ s going t o kill 25 percent of
us. ”
What is happening is t hat t here is a sort of collect ive alignment . Your cells are get t ing ready, you see.
And in t hat preparat ion and in t hat readiness, all kinds of t hings are beginning t o come int o alignment ;
t hings t hat you could not orchest rat e even if you t ried. Your body knows what t o do. Your body has come
int o act ive agreement and alignment wit h all of t his.
So, as you play t he gent le Wouldn’ t It Be Nice If . . . ? game, leave t he rest of your physical apparat us t o t he
cellular knowing, which means t hat it is not your j ob t o be t he f ood police, it is not your j ob t o be t he
exercise police, any more t han it is your j ob t o decide what cell has t o go.
What ever t he subj ect of your desire, t here is an orchest rat ion t hat is being t aken care of in response t o
t he Wouldn’ t It Be Nice If . . . ? game t hat you are playing. So whenever you play t his game and you t rust
t hat everyt hing else will come int o alignment —it will.
 Process #13 Which Thought Feels Better?

When t o Use This Process:

• When you want t o be consciously aware of how youreally f eel about somet hing right now.
• When you are f aced wit h a decision, and youwant t o go in t he best direct ion possible.
• When you want t o det ermine your current Emot ional Set -Point .
• When you want t o become consciously aware of your Emot ional Guidance Syst em.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This process of Which Thought Feels Bet t er? will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -
Point is ranging somewhere bet ween: (4) Posit ive Expect at ion/ Belief and (17) Anger.
Every subj ect is really t wo subj ect s: somet hing t hat you desire, and t he absence of somet hing t hat you
desire. If you do not underst and t hat t hese are very dif f erent vibrat ional f requencies, t hen you may
believe t hat you are f ocused on somet hing t hat you desire, when you may, in f act , be f ocused in t he
opposit e direct ion.
Some believe t hat t hey’ re f ocused upon t he subj ect of a healt hy body, when inst ead, t hey’ re f ocused on
t he f ear of a sick body. Some believe t hat t hey’ re t hinking about improving t heir f inancial sit uat ion, when
inst ead, t hey’ re f ocused on not having enough money.
But because t he subj ect is money or healt h, t hey beli eve t hat anyt ime t hey are f ocused upon t he subj ect ,
t hey are t hinking about what t hey want . And of t en t hat is not t he case. Of t en people say, “ I’ ve want ed
t his f or as long as I can remember. Why hasn’ t it happened yet ?” Because t hey were not aware t hat every
subj ect is really t wo subj ect s: what is want ed and t he lack of it . . . For example, t hey t hought t hat
because t hey were t alking about money, t hey were t alking about what t hey want ed, when inst ead, t hey
were f ocused on t he opposit e of what t hey want ed. Only when you are sensit ive t o t he way you f eel do
you really know what your vibrat ional cont ent is. But wit h some pract ice, you will become very adept at
always knowing exact ly where you are f ocused.
The Which Thought Feels Bet t er? Process will help you consciously ident if y t he vibrat ional f requency of
your current t hought . The game is most ef f ect ively played when you are alone because no one else can
really know or underst and which t hought s f eel best t o you. Of t en, when you are int eract ing wit h ot hers,
you may be conf used about whet her t he t hought act ually f eels bet t er t o you, or whet her you are of f ering
it because you t hink it is t he choice someone else would want you t o make.
It is import ant t o leave everyone else’ s ideas, desires, opinions, and belief s aside while you ident if y, f or
yourself , how you f eel.

When Would You Play This Game?

There are limit less possibilit ies of t hought s t hat you might t hink on limit less subj ect s, but your own lif e
experience, and t he cont rast t hat you are living, wi ll help you ident if y t he subj ect s on which you may

This game is especially helpf ul when somet hing has occurred in your own experience t hat causes a
not iceable amount of negat ive emot ion.
Underst anding t hat negat ive emot ion is an indicat or of resist ance, and f urt her underst anding t hat t his
resist ance is t he only t hing t hat holds you apart f rom t he t hings you really want , you may have decided t o
do somet hing about releasing some resist ance on t his newly energized subj ect .

A “ Which Thought Feels Better?” Game Example

This process works best if you can sit f or a f ew minut es and writ e your t hought s on paper. In t ime, when
you have played t he game suf f icient ly, you will f ind success wit h it j ust by rolling t he t hought s across your
mind, but writ ing t hem down ont o paper causes a much more powerf ul point of f ocus, which makes it
easier f or you t o f eel t he direct ion of your chosen t hought .
To begin: First , writ e a brief st at ement of how you f eel about t he subj ect right now. You could describe
what has happened, but what is most import ant is t hat you describe how you f eel.
Next , writ e anot her st at ement t hat amplif ies exact ly how you f eel. This helps you more easily recognize
any improvement as you move t hrough t he process.
For example, you have j ust had an argument wit h your daught er because she makes no ef f ort t o help
around t he house. She does not even t ake care of her personal t hings, and her own room is a t errible
mess. She seems t o hold no regard f or t he ef f ort you are making t o maint ain an orderly environment . Not
only does she not t ry t o help, but it seems t hat she deliberat ely t ries t o hinder you. So you writ e:
She [ or writ e your daught er’ s name] is deliberat ely t rying t o make my lif e dif f icult .
She doesn’ t care about me at all.
She doesn’ t even come close t o doing her share of t he work.
Once you have made a f ew st at ement s t hat indicat e how you really f eel right now, make t his st at ement
t o yourself : I’ m going t o reach f or some t hought s about t his subj ect t hat f eel a lit t le bet t er. Now, once
you have writ t en each t hought , evaluat e whet her it f eels bet t er, t he same, or worse t han when you
init ially began. So you writ e:
She never list ens t o me. (same)
I want her t o be more responsible, (same)
I shouldn’ t have t o pick up af t er her. (same)
I should have t aught her bet t er, (worse)
I wish her f at her would support me more, (worse)
A clean house is import ant t o me. (slight ly bet t er)
I know she has a lot on her mind, (bet t er)
I remember what it ’ s like t o be a t eenager, (bet t er)
I remember when she was a sweet lit t le girl, (bet t er)
I wish she were st ill t hat sweet lit t le girl, (worse)
I don’ t know what t o do about t his, (worse)
Well, I don’ t have t o f igure it all out t oday, (bet t er)
There are so many t hings about her t hat I adore, (bet t er)
I know t here is more t o lif e t han a clean house, (bet t er)
It should be okay t hat I want a clean house, (worse)
It ’ s all right t hat I want my house t o be clean, (bet t er)
It ’ s f ine t hat she doesn’ t care about t hat now. (bet t er)
Remember, t here are no right and wrong answers here, and no one else can really know which of your
t hought s bring bet t er or worse f eelings t o you. The value of t his process is t hat you will become aware of
how your t hought s f eel—and you will become more adept at choosing bet t er-f eeling t hought s.
Many would ask, “ But what good would it be t o f eel bet t er about my daught er’ s sloppy habit s? My
t hought s won’ t change her behavior. ”
We want t o say t o you t hat your t hought s change t he behavior of everyone and everyt hing who has
anyt hing t o do wit h you. For your t hought s absolut ely equal your point of at t ract ion, and t he bet t er you
f eel, t he more t hat everyt hing and everyone around you improves. In t he moment t hat you f ind an
improved f eeling, condit ions and circumst ances change t o mat ch your f eeling.
The Which Thought Feels Bet t er? game will help you begin t o realize t he power t hat your own t hought s
have t o inf luence everyt hing around you.

Abraham, Speak to Us More about the Process of Which Thought Feels Better?

“ Will I ever st op reaching f or somet hing bet t er?” No. And when you t ake t he limit at ions of t ime or dollars
out of t he equat ion, and you t rust t hat t he Universe will conspire t o sat isf y every idea you can conj ure
up, t hen you let your ideas rip. But as long as you f eel limit at ions, t hen you keep t rying t o reign t hem in
and reign t hem in and reign t hem in.
Perhaps you may say, “ Well, our current circumst ances really don’ t allow us t he money t o do all t his st uf f
t hat we want t o do. We want t o remodel our kit chen, and our decisions about not going int o great debt
about it are very clear decisions t hat we don’ t want t o violat e. So what do we do wit h t hese exploding
ideas?” And we say, does every one of t hem have t o manif est right now? Or can you begin t o t ake pleasure
f rom t he idea it self ?
Can you say, “ Well, if not right now, t hen soon, we will do t his and t his and t his” ? And so, you can begin
t o t ake pleasure f rom t he growing of t he idea, but when you put yourself on a schedule where t here is a
deadline, t hen very of t en t he short age of t ime or money looms up and cont radict s t he Energy, making you
miserable. It also makes you wish t hat you had never broached t he idea t o begin wit h. But t hen you can
say, “ Hmm, t here’ s a lif et ime of kit chens bef ore us, and, f or now, we are most pleased wit h t he
manif est at ion of t his, and what ideas we are conj uring f or t he f ut ure! ” Then, one day, you might move
int o a new home, shocked t hat it already has all of t he t hings wit hin it t hat you have been conj uring. And
it will come when you have enough money; you have enough t ime. In ot her words, t he Universe will line it
up in response t o t he ideas t hat you are giving birt h t o and f reely let t ing f low.

There Is No Right or Wrong in This

A good way t o approach all t his is: If t he desire f eels good t o you, everyt hing is going great . If t he desire
is uncomf ort able, it means t hat you have a desire t hat is raging out t here ahead of your belief , but t hen
you can soot he t hat by saying, “ We don’ t have t o do it right t his red-hot minut e. We’ ll j ust hold t his as a
f ut ure idea. We’ re not going t o shut t he idea down because we know it ’ s a good one. It ’ s not a perf ect
mat ch f or where we are right now, but someday t hat will be a part of it . For now, t his is quit e sat isf ying. ”
Which t hought f eels bet t er? To have it right now and t o go int o debt , or t o say, “ Oh, t his is somet hing
t hat we have t o look f orward t o. . . ” ?
Jerry and Est her go t hrough t his all t he t ime because Est her want s everyt hing, and she want s it right now.
And t here is no eart hly reason why she should not have it right now—except t hat she is married t o a
savorer. He is not af raid t hat he will run out of money; he is af raid t hat he will run out of ideas. In ot her
words, he does not want t o eat up t he ideas t oo f ast . He want s t o milk each one f or everyt hing he can get
out of it . And Est her j ust want s t o skip across t he t op. Est her eat s t he point of t he pie f irst , while Jerry
saves it t ill t he last bit e. But Est her worries t hat by t he t ime she get s t o t he last bit e, she will not want it
anymore—so she eat s it f irst .
So, bot h Est her and Jerry f ind t heir own way. There is no right or wrong f ormula t here. We would say t o
Jerry t hat he will never run out of ideas, so he can skip across t he t op of t hem if he want s. And t hen he
would say t o us, “ But I love get t ing my doing int o t he evolvement of it ; t he more int imat ely involved I am
in my creat ions, t he more sat isf act ion I’ m receiving f rom t hem. ” So we say, Then t hat is t he right way f or
you. There is no right or wrong in t his. Which f eels bet t er? Which f eels bet t er?
Which t hought f eels bet t er? To go int o debt or t o wait unt il lat er? To wait unt il lat er. Which t hought f eels

t o f eel crit ical t hat you did not do enough?

 Process #14 The Process of Clearing Clutter for Clarity

When t o Use This Process:

• When you are f eeling st ress due t o your disorganizat ion.
• When you f eel you are spending t oo much t ime looking f or it ems.
• When you f ind yourself avoiding your home because you f eel bet t er elsewhere.
• When you f eel t hat t here is not enough t ime t o do all you need t o do.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Clearing Clut t er f or Clarit y Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is
ranging somewhere bet ween: (4) Posit ive Expect at ion/ Belief and (17) Anger.
A clut t ered environment can cause a clut t ered point of at t ract ion. If you are surrounded by unf inished
work, unanswered let t ers, incomplet e proj ect s, unpaid bills, unat t ended-t o t asks; unsort ed piles of
paperwork; and st ray magazines, cat alogs, and all manner of miscellaneous it ems—t hey can negat ively
af f ect your lif e experience.
Because everyt hing carries it s own vibrat ion, and because you develop a vibrat ional relat ionship wit h
everyt hing in your lif e, your personal belongings do have an impact on t he way you f eel and on your point
of at t ract ion.
There are t wo maj or hindrances t o clearing away clut t er: First , you may remember t hrowing somet hing
away, only t o discover, soon af t er, t hat you really did need it af t er all. So now you are reluct ant t o t hrow
anyt hing away. And second, you realize t hat t o really do a good j ob of get t ing organized would t ake f ar
more t ime t han you have t o give t o t he proj ect , f or every t ime you have ever at t empt ed t o get organized,
you have become bogged down in t he sort ing process and have ended up leaving an even bigger mess t han
when you began.
The Clearing Clut t er f or Clarit y Process eliminat es t hose hindrances because it is a sort ing procedure t hat
can be done ext remely quickly wit hout t he possibilit y of discarding valuable t hings t hat you may need
lat er on.
To begin t he process: Obt ain several st urdy cardboard boxes wit h lids. (Banker’ s boxes work well f or t his. )
It is best if t hey are t he same size and color. That way t hey will st ack neat ly and look at t ract ive. We
would suggest t hat you begin wit h a minimum of 20 boxes, but you may want t o obt ain more as you
discover t he product ive power of t his process. (Also, procure a package of alphabet ized index cards and a
handheld voice recorder. )
First , assemble t he boxes and put f ive or six of t hem in t he middle of t he room t hat you wish t o organize.
Next , number each box wit h it s own unique number, f rom 1 t o 20, and so on. Now, look around t he room,
f ocus upon an it em, and ask yourself , “ Is t his it em import ant t o my immediat e experience?” If t he answer
is yes, leave it where it is. If t he answer is no, put it in one of t he boxes. Then pick up anot her it em and
cont inue t he process as you f ocus upon each it em in t he room.
A great advant age of t his process is t hat you will not be doing a great deal of sort ing right now. This really
is a process whereby you simply remove t he clut t er f rom your environment .
As you put t he it em int o t he box, speak int o t he recorder—f or example, “ Unopened package of guit ar
st rings, box number one, ” or “ Old cell phone, box number one. ” Wit h f ive or six boxes open at t he same
t ime, you could do a general sort ing. In ot her words, all magazines could go in t he same box, clot hing
it ems in t heir same box, small miscellaneous it ems in t he same box—but do not get carried away wit h t he
sort ing process. Just pick up t he it em, det ermine if it is necessary t o your immediat e experience, and, if
not , put it in a box, and speak int o t he recorder what t he it em was and which box you put it in. And, at a
lat er t ime, you can t ake an hour or so and t ransf er t he inf ormat ion f rom t he recorder ont o alphabet ized
index cards. In ot her words, under “ A” you will writ e abalone shell; under “ B, ” writ e bat hing suit ; under
“ C” writ e cell phone. . .
Because you are not t horoughly sort ing, t his process will go very f ast . You will f ind yourself f eeling bet t er
as your space becomes less clut t ered, and you will not experience your usual worry t hat you will not be
able t o f ind somet hing, because you will have made a record of exact ly where everyt hing is.
Now, f ind a wall somewhere in your house or garage where t hese neat boxes can be placed, and be
conf ident t hat you can ret rieve anyt hing t hat is import ant . If you do need t he unopened guit ar st rings,
your alphabet ical card f ile will t ell you which box you put t hem in.
Af t er a f ew weeks, when you realize t hat you have not needed anyt hing f rom box number 3, f or example,
you could t hen move t hat box out of t he house, maybe t o some out side st orage f acilit y, or you may even
be willing t o discard it s cont ent s, leaving box number 3 available f or new clut t er t hat may arise. And as
you cont inue t he process, you will begin t o relax in t he knowledge t hat you now have cont rol of your
environment .
Somet imes people will t ell us t hat t hey are not bot hered by clut t er, so we t ell t hem t hat t his process is,
t hen, unnecessary f or t hem. However, since every piece of everyt hing does carry a vibrat ion, almost
everyone really does f eel bet t er in an unclut t ered environment .

Abraham, Speak to Us More about Clearing Clutter for Clarity

Physical Beings have a habit of gat hering st uf f around t hem. Most of you gat her t his st uf f because it is t he
way you keep score; it is t he way you f ill t ime. In ot her words, you live in a physical world, and physical
manif est at ion has become import ant t o you, but t hen you get buried in t he det ails of your manif est at ion.
Most of you spend much of your t ime j ust looking f or t hings, and it is not only because you have t oo many
t hings t o sort t hrough, but it is also because t he gat hering of t he st uf f is cont rary t o t he f reedom t hat is
inherent wit hin all of you. We have t alked of t he f eeling of sadness t hat f eels empt y. People of t en t ry t o
f ill t hat f eeling of empt iness wit h st uf f . They buy one more t hing and bring it home, or t hey eat
somet hing; in ot her words, t here are lot s of creat ive ways in which you have t ried t o f ill t hat void. And
so, it has been our encouragement t o some: Discard everyt hing f rom your experience t hat is not essent ial
t o your now.
If you could j ust go t hrough and release t hose t hings you are not wearing, release t hose t hings you are not
using, release t hem and leave your experience in a clearer place, t hen t he t hings t hat are more in
harmony wit h who you are now will more easily f low int o your experience. You all have a capacit y f or
at t ract ion, and when your process is clogged wit h st uf f t hat you no longer want , t he new at t ract ion is
slower—and t hen you end up wit h a f eeling of f rust rat ion or overwhelment .

Imagine Yourself in a Clutter-Free Environment

Jerry and Est her have been comment ing recent ly t hat as Energy is moving f ast er, t heir ideas are also
coming int o f ruit ion much more quickly—which means t hat t hey are buried in st uf f . In ot her words, st uf f
is coming t o t hem very f ast . All kinds of st uf f . And t hen it has t o be dealt wit h. It has t o be sort ed or f iled
or read or discarded— somet hing has t o be done wit h it .
Never bef ore has it been more import ant t o get a pict ure in your mind’ s eye of your living space. So,
imagine yourself in an environment of great clarit y—a space wit h immense order—and imagine yourself
knowing where everyt hing is. Imagine organizing it in a way t hat it is very comf ort able. In ot her words,
j ust imagine. That is what you are shoot ing f or here: The f eeling of relief .
Est her, every now and again, will get a ment al pict ure of her mot her. Her mot her worked f ull-t ime all of
Est her’ s childhood, and t hey had a very large propert y. Her mot her did most of t he mowing of t he huge
lawn, and in t hose days t here were no riding mowers—at least , t hey had never seen one, but Est her
remembers her mot her mowing. And t hen, t he part t hat Est her remembers most is t hat once t he lawn was
all mowed and t he sprinkler had been set t o wat er it , her mot her would sit on t he porch and j ust sort of
t ake it all in. And Est her would sit next t o her mot her and smell t he f reshly mown grass, and t here was an
overwhelming f eeling of cont ent ment t hat she was picking up on f rom her mot her.
The day t he lawn was mowed was always a happy day f or Est her because t here was somet hing so
sat isf ying t hat her mot her f elt once it was all done and she was sit t ing and t aking it all in. Similarly, Jerry
and Est her of t en f eel t his at t he end of one of t heir workshops. It f eels so good. It is like a j ob well done.
It is as if everyt hing is f alling int o alignment .
So what you want t o do is, in advance, f ind t hat f eeling-place. And if you do so, and t he Energy lines up,
t hen t he clarit y, ideas, and help will all come int o making t he physical realit y f all int o place f or you.
In only an hour or t wo, you can box up t he clut t er f rom a room if you are j ust t aking one t hing at a t ime
and put t ing it int o a box. And since you have it emized where everyt hing is, because it is all on your voice
recorder, t hen some evening when you are doing somet hing t hat does not require t oo much at t ent ion, you
can list en t o your recording. And wit h a small card f ile, you can indicat e t hat t he bat hing suit is in box
number 1, so t hat if you ever need it , you can f ind t he index card and it will t ell you which box it is in.
The power of t his Clearing Clut t er f or Clarit y Process is t hat you can do it very quickly. And t here will be
less resist ance in it because everyt hing t hat you want will be at your f ingert ips. In ot her words, you will
have a record of where every bit of it is.
What we have not iced wit h t he maj orit y of people who have applied t his syst em is t hat once t hey put
somet hing in t he box, it is rarely somet hing t hey ever need again. So, af t er you realize t hat you have had
some it em boxed up f or a year or t wo and have not needed it at all, now you may f eel f reer t o donat e it
t o someone or t o discard it in some way, but meanwhile, your lif e has been f ree of clut t er and, t heref ore,
f ree of t hat resist ance f or t he ent ire period of t ime.
 Process #15 The Wallet Process

When t o Use This Process:

• When you want t o at t ract moremoney int o your experience.
• When you want t o improve t he way you current ly f eel about money in order t o allow even more t o f low
int o your lif e.
• When you want t o get your j uices f o l wing regarding your specif ic desire.
• When you f eel t hat t here is a short age of money ni your lif e.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Wallet Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is ranging somewhere
bet ween: (6) Hopef ulness and (16) Discouragement .
Perhaps t here are no more pract iced vibrat ions in your cult ure t han t hose relat ed t o t he subj ect of
money, f or many see it as t he means t hrough which a good deal of t heir physical well-being f lows.
Many people, however, wit hout realizing it , are f ocused upon t he lack of money rat her t han t he presence
of money in t heir experience. So even t hough t hey of t en ident if y t hings t hat t hey desire, t hey hold
t hemselves apart f rom t heir own desires because t hey are more accust omed t o not icing t he lack of dollars
t han t he presence of t hem. Again, it comes back t o t he f act t hat every subj ect is really t wo subj ect s:
what is want ed, and t he lack of it .
It is nat ural f or all manner of abundance t o f low easi ly int o your experience, and t he Wallet Process will
help you of f er a vibrat ion t hat is compat ible wit h t he receiving of money inst ead of pushing it away.
Here is t he process: First , obt ain a $100 bill, and put it in your wallet or purse. Keep it wit h you at all
t imes, and whenever you hold your wallet or purse, remember t hat your $100 bill is t here. Feel pleased
t hat it is t here, and remind yourself of t en of t he added sense of securit y t hat it brings t o you.
Now, as you move t hrough your day, t ake not e of t he many t hings t hat you could purchase wit h t hat
hundred dollars: As you pass a nice rest aurant not ice t hat , if you really want ed t o, you could st op in and
have a delicious meal. As you see somet hing in a depart ment st ore, remind yourself t hat , if you really
want ed t o, you could purchase t hat because you have $100 in your wallet .
By holding t he $100 bill and not spending it right away, you receive t he vibrat ional advant age of it every
t ime you even t hink about it . In ot her words, if you were t o remember your hundred dollars and spend it
on t he f irst t hing t hat you not iced, you would receive t he benef it of really f eeling your f inancial well-
being only once. But if you ment ally spent t hat hundred dollars 20 or 30 t imes in t hat day, you will have
received t he vibrat ional f eeling advant age of having spent t wo or t hree t housand dollars.
Each t ime you acknowledge t hat you have t he power, right t here in your wallet , t o purchase t his or t o do
t hat , over and over again you add t o your sense of f inancial well-being, so your point of at t ract ion begins
t o shif t .
You see, you do not have t o act ually be abundant in order t o at t ract abundance, but you do have t o f eel
abundant . A clearer way of saying it is t hat any f eeling of lack of abundance causes a resist ance t hat does
not allow abundance.
So, by ment ally spending t his money again and agai n, you pract ice t he vibrat ion of Well-Being, of
securit y, of abundance, and of f inancial securit y, and t he Universe responds t o t he vibrat ion you have
achieved by mat ching it wit h manif est ed abundance.
Seemingly magical t hings will begin t o occur as soon as you achieve t hat wonderf ul f eeling of f inancial
abundance: The money you are current ly earning will seem t o go f urt her. Unexpect ed amount s of money
in various increment s will begin t o show up in your experience. Your employer will f eel inspired t o give
you a raise. Some product you have purchased will of f er you a rebat e. People you do not even now know
will begin t o of f er you money. You will discover t hat t hings you want ed, t hings t hat you would have been
willing t o spend your dollars t o have—will come t o you even wit hout an expendit ure of money. You will be
of f ered opport unit ies t o be able t o “ earn” all t he abundance t hat you can believe is possible. . . In t ime, it
will f eel as if a f loodgat e of abundance has opened, and you will f ind yourself wondering where all t hat
abundance had been hiding all along.
I could have t hat . I could have t hat . I have t he abilit y t o purchase t hat . . .
And, because you really do have t he means t o do j ust t hat , because you are not pret ending somet hing
t hat is not , t here is now no hindering doubt or disbelief muddying t he wat ers of your f inancial f low.
This is a simple but powerf ul process, and it will change your f inancial point of at t ract ion. As your
f inancial sit uat ion improves, your $100 st ash or savings may grow t o $1, 000, t hen t o $10, 000, t hen
$100, 000, and more. Alt hough t here is no limit t o what t he Universe will yield t o you, you have t o f eel
good about money in order t o allow it int o your experience.
You have t o f eel good about great abundance bef ore you will allow t he pleasure of great abundance t o
f low int o your experience.

Abraham, Speak to Us More about the Wallet Process

Remember, you are on t his sort of t eet er-t ot t er of balance, so you do not have t o st op all t hought s of
short age because t hey are going t o creep in; t he inf luence is around you. All you have t o do is
deliberat ely of f er more t hought t o t ipping t he Energies on t he side of abundance; of f er more deliberat e
t hought —add more conscious use of t he Non-Physical Energy t oward t he prosperit y you want . And so,
while you are moving t hrough your day not icing how many t hings you could spend $100 on, you are
deliberat ely ut ilizing t he Non-Physical Energy t o enhance your f eeling of prosperit y.
Someone once said, “ Abraham, you obviously haven’ t been physical lat ely, f or $100 won’ t go very f ar. ”
And we said, You missed t he point . You spend $100 one t housand t imes a day, and you have spent t he
equivalent of $100, 000. And t hat will bolst er your f eeling of prosperit y, you see. It is t he way you f ed t hat
is your point of at t ract ion.
Someone said t o us, “ Well, I haven’ t act ually put t he $100 in my wallet . I put an IOU in t here, t hough. ”
And we said, Then you must not believe in your own IOU, because it is not f ost ering t he f eeling of
prosperit y. The IOU f eels t o you like anot her debt t hat you are carrying around.
The Wallet Process is anot her means of giving deliberat e at t ent ion t o what makes you f eel good.
 Process #16 Pivoting

When t o Use This Process:

• When you are aware t hat t he st at ement you j ust made is t he opposit e of what you want t o at t ract int o

• When you want t o est ablish an improved point of at t ract ion.
• When you are f eeling f airly good but know t hat you could f eel even bet t er, and you are willing t o t ake

It is possible t o be f ocused in vibrat ional opposit ion t o what you really desire wit hout knowing you are. It

The cont rast of your t ime-space-realit y is ext remely usef ul, f or cont rast helps you f ocus your t hought s:
Whenever you know what you do not want , you also know even more clearly what you do want ; and
whenever you know what you do want , you also know even more clearly what you do not want . And so,
your exposure t o cont rast sharpens your f ocus and gives birt h t o new pref erences and desires. In f act , t his
valuable cont rast assures t he et ernal expansion of All-That -Is.
The process of Pivot ing is of t en t he f irst st ep in beginning t o shif t your habit of vibrat ion, because t his is a
process t hat helps you more clearly def ine exact ly what you desire. But because t here is usually a wide
variance in t he vibrat ion on one end of t he st ick and t he vibrat ion on t he ot her end of t he st ick, you
usually do not immediat ely shif t your vibrat ion j ust by making a st at ement of desire.
For example, when you are sick, you know very clearl y t hat you want t o be well. Or, when you do not
have enough money, you know very clearly t hat you want more money. Now, by t urning your at t ent ion t o
what you do want , and by holding your at t ent ion upon what you do want , you will begin t o vibrat e t here.
At f irst , your awareness of what you do not want helps you ident if y what you do want ; in ot her words, as
you speak t he words of your desire, your vibrat ion may not mat ch your words, but if you will cont inue t he
process of Pivot ing—t hat is, if , whenever you f eel negat ive emot ion, which helps you know t hat you are
f ocused upon somet hing unwant ed, you will st op and say, I know what I don’ t want , so what is it t hat I do
want ?—t hen in t ime, you will change your vibrat ion on t he subj ect . Lit t le by lit t le, you will redirect your
vibrat ion, and event ually t he improved vibrat ion will become your dominant t hought .
See t he process of Pivot ing as a gradual shif t ing of your point of at t ract ion, and enj oy t he posit ive result s
t hat must f ollow. It is not possible f or you t o consist ent ly give your at t ent ion t o what you do want and not
receive it , f or t he Law of At t ract ion guarant ees t hat what ever you are predominant ly f ocused upon will
f low int o your experience.

Abraham, Speak to Us More about the Pivoting Process

The most import ant t hing t o remember is t hat you are t he at t ract or of your experience, and t hat you are
at t ract ing it by virt ue of t he t hought s t hat you are of f ering. Thought s are magnet ic, and as you t hink a
t hought , it will at t ract anot her and anot her and anot her, unt il event ually you will have physical
manif est at ion of t he vibrat ional essence of what ever has been t he subj ect of your t hought s.
If you have ever experienced (and we know you have) t hat which you would consider t o be negat ive
emot ion (you may describe it as f ear, doubt , f rust rat ion, or loneliness—t here are many ways t hat you
describe negat ive emot ion), what you are experiencing in t hat negat ive emot ion is t he t hinking of a
t hought t hat does not vibrat e at a f requency t hat is in harmony wit h where or who your own Inner Being
is.
You see, t hrough all your lif e experiences, physical and Non-Physical, your Inner Being, or t he Tot al You,
has come t o a place of knowing and t o a place of want ing. And so, when you are in t his physical body,
consciously f ocused upon a t hought t hat does not harmonize wit h t hat which your Inner Being has come t o
know, t hen t he result ant f eeling wit hin you is one of negat ive emot ion.
If you were t o sit on your f oot and cut of f t he circulat ion of t he f low of blood, or if you were t o put a
t ourniquet around your neck and rest rict t he f low of oxygen, you would see immediat e evidence of t his
rest rict ion. And, in like manner, when you t hink t hought s t hat are not in harmony wit h your great er
knowing, t he f low of Lif e Force—t he Energy t hat conies f rom your Inner Being int o your physical
apparat us—is st if led or rest rict ed. And t he result is t hat you experience negat ive emot ion. And if you
would allow it t o cont inue over a longer period of t ime, you would receive negat ive det eriorat ion of your
physical apparat us. That is why we say t hat all illness is a result of t he allowance of negat ive emot ion.
As you are underst anding t hat a f eeling of negat ive energy is an indicat or t hat you are not in harmony
wit h your great er knowing, many of you have reached t he point of saying, I want t o f eel good more of t he
t ime. And we say t hat is a magnif icent acknowledgment , because when you are saying, I want t o f eel
good, what you are really saying is: I want t o be in t he place of posit ive at t ract ion, or I want t o be in a
place where t he t hought s t hat I’ m t hinking as I’ m f eel ing good are in harmony wit h my great er awareness.

Pivot from What Is Unwanted to What Is Wanted

Many of you would not have such a dif f icult t ime f eeling good if you were in an environment where t here
was not so much negat ive inf luence around you. (That was cert ainly t rue on t he day t hat you emerged
int o t his physical body. ) But since you live in a dimension where t here is much inf luence of t hought t hat is
abounding, it is of value f or you t o have some processes t o assist you in get t ing f rom t hat place where you
do not want t o be, t o t he place where you do want t o be, and t he process of Pivot ing is j ust such a
process.
When you are f eeling negat ive emot ion, you are in a very good posit ion t o ident if y what you want .
Because never are you more clear about what you do want t han when you are experiencing what you do
not want . And so, if you will st op in t hat moment and say, Somet hing is import ant here, ot herwise I would
not be f eeling t his negat ive emot ion; I need t o f ocus on what I want , and t hen t urn your at t ent ion t o what
it is t hat you want —in t he moment of t he t urning of your at t ent ion, t he negat ive emot ion and t he
negat ive at t ract ion will st op. And in t he moment t he negat ive at t ract ion st ops, t he posit ive at t ract ion
will begin. And your f eelings will change f rom not f eeling good t o f eeling good. That is t he process of
Pivot ing.
You will never be in a place where t here is only t he pureness of posit ive emot ion or t he pureness of
posit ive Energy, because wit hin everyt hing t hat you want t here is an aut omat ic and nat ural
count erbalance t hat is t he lack of what you want . And so, your work is t o def ine what it is you want , and
t hen t o, in a very deliberat e way, hold your t hought s in t he direct ion of your desires. And t he emot ional
guidance t hat comes f ort h f rom your Inner Being t hat you f eel in t erms of negat ive or posit ive emot ion
will assist you in knowing which side of t he equat ion you are on: Are you t hinking of what you want or t he
lack of it ?
A young f at her called and said, “ Abraham, my son is wet t ing t he bed, and he’ s t oo big f or t hat . I’ ve t ried
everyt hing I know, and I’ m at my wit ’ s end. I don’ t know what t o do. ” And we said, When you come int o
t he bedroom in t he morning, what happens? And he said, “ I come in, and right away I know it ’ s happened
again; I can t ell by t he odor in t he room. ” And we said, And how do you f eel at t hat point ? And he said, “ I
f eel disappoint ed, and t hen angry, and t hen f rust rat ed, because it keeps going on, and I don’ t know what
t o do about it . ”
And we said, Aha, you are perpet uat ing t he bed-wet t i ng. He asked, “ What should I do?” And we said,
What do you say t o your lit t le boy? And he said, “ I t ell him t o get out of t hose wet clot hes and get int o
t he bat ht ub. I t ell him he’ s t oo big f or t his; we’ ve t alked about it bef ore. ” And we said; When you ent er
t he room and f eel t he negat ive emot ion as you realize t hat what you do not want has occurred again, st op
and ask yourself what it is you do want and get your t hought s f ocused upon t hat bef ore you go f urt her
int o t he experience of your lit t le one, and you will t hen see improvement in what happens.
So, we asked t his f at her what t his experience had helped him recognize about what he want ed. He said,
“ I want my lit t le one t o wake up happy and dry and proud of himself , and not embarrassed. ” We said,
Good. As you are t hinking t hose sort s of t hought s, t hen what is oozing out of you will be in harmony wit h
what you want , not out of harmony. And you will be more posit ively, powerf ully inf luencing your lit t le
one, also. And t hen, words will come out of you such as, “ Oh, t his is part of growing up. All of us have
been t hrough t his. And you are growing up very f ast . Now get out of t hose wet clot hes and get in t he
bat ht ub. ” This young f at her called very soon af t er t hat , wit hin a f ew weeks, and said t hat t he bed-
wet t ing had st opped.
You see, it is really so simple. When you f eel bad, you are in t he process of at t ract ing somet hing t hat will
not please you. And it is always because you are f ocused upon t he lack of somet hing you want . And so,
t he process of Pivot ing is t he conscious decision t o ident if y what it is t hat you do want . We do not want t o
imply t hat t he f eeling of negat ive emot ion is a bad t hing, because, very of t en, in t he f eeling of negat ive
emot ion, you are alert ed t o t he f act t hat you are in t he process of negat ively at t ract ing. And so, it is like
a warning bell. It is part of your guidance syst em.
We encourage you, very st rongly, not t o beat up on yourself when you recognize t hat you are f eeling
negat ive emot ion. But as soon as you can, st op and say, I’ m f eeling some negat ive emot ion, which means
t hat I’ m in t he process of at t ract ing what I don’ t want . What is it t hat I do want ?
A very simple process of Pivot ing would be t o say, I want t o f eel good. Anyt ime you are f eeling bad, st op
and say, What I want is t o f eelgood. And if you will of f er t hat , t hen t hought s will begin t o come t o you on
t he posit ive side of t he equat ion. And as one t hought at t ract s anot her, at t ract s anot her, and at t ract s
anot her, you will very soon be vibrat ing at t he f requency t hat is in harmony wit h your great er knowing.
And t hen you will really be rolling in t erms of posit ive creat ion.

Thoughts Connect to Thoughts, Which Connect to Thoughts

Our f riend Jerry has of f ered us t he most powerf ul analogy f or t he way your t hought s connect one t o
anot her. He described a large ship coming int o t he dock. It was t o be t ied wit h a rope t hat was very large,
almost one f oot in diamet er, t oo big and bulky t o t hrow across t he expanse of wat er. And so, inst ead, a
small ball of t wine was t ossed across, which was spliced int o a lit t le bigger rope, which was spliced int o a
lit t le bigger rope, which was spliced int o a lit t le bigger rope. Unt il, event ually, t he very large rope was
easily pulled across t he big expanse of wat er. And t his is t he way your t hought s dovet ail int o one anot her,
wit h one connect ing t o anot her.
On some subj ect s, because you have been pulling on t he negat ive rope longer, it is very easy f or you t o
get of f on a negat ive t angent . It can t ake j ust a lit t le ut t erance f rom somewhere, a memory of
somet hing, or some suggest ion t o t ake you int o a negat ive t ail-spin right away. And so, somet imes it is
dif f icult f or you t o let go of t hat negat ive rope, f or you have been holding on t o it f or a very long t ime.
But if , whenever you are f eeling negat ive emot ion, you will realize t hat you are negat ively at t ract ing, and
you will let your dominant int ent be t o f eel good, t hen you can f ind yourself rat her easily let t ing go of
t hat rope.
And so, bot h t he process of Pivot ing and t he process of t he Book of Posit ive Aspect s are of f ered t o assist
you in recognizing (in t he early, subt le st ages), t hat you are pulling on t he very t ips of t hat negat ive ball
of t wine, so t hat you may, right away, release it and reach f or t he posit ive t wine.
As we are t alking about t he way t hought s connect t o t hought s connect t o t hought s connect t o t hought s,
we want t o point out somet hing t hat you may be missing: It is much easier t o go f rom a lit t le t hought of
somet hing t hat makes you f eel good t o more t hat makes you f eel good t o more t hat makes you f eel good—
t han it is t o be in a place where you are f eeling bad, and t hen go right t o a place where you f eel good.

Do Not Try to Save the World; Save Yourself

Because t hought s are so at t ract ive (meaning t hat t hey at t ract more unt o t hem), once you get going on a
t hought t hat does not f eel good t o you, it is easier f or you t o st ay f ocused in t hat t rain of t hought unt il
you have a great amount of negat ive energy going t han it is f or you t o pivot away.
And f or t hat reason, we would encourage t he great est exercise in Pivot ing t hat we can of f er you. In ot her
words, rat her t han moving f orward int o your day, not having any clear ideas of what you want , and
wait ing unt il some inf luence t ouches you t hat you do not like, f eeling t he negat ive response, and deciding
t hat you will pivot —it is so much more product ive f or you t o go about your day wit h t he decision t o look
f or posit ive aspect s.
Do not t ry t o save t he world; save yourself . That means t hat you need t o f ocus on what makes you f eel
good. The process of Pivot ing is t he t ool t hat will bring you t o what you want . It is t he process whereby
you consciously decide: Yes, I want t o look f or what I want , and I will no longer look in t he direct ion of
t he lack of it .
Pivot ing is t he cont inual, hour-af t er-hour, segment -by-segment process whereby you choose t he posit ive.
It is t he way you get t o f eeling good—and it is a way t hat you can get what ever you want .
 Process #17 The Focus Wheel Process

When t o Use This Process:

• When you realize t hat your current Vibrat ional Point of At t ract ion is not where you want it t o be.
• When you are aware t hat you are f eeling negat ive emot ion about somet hing t hat is import ant , and you
want t o f ind a way of f eeling posit ive emot ion inst ead.
• When somet hing has j ust happened t hat is not t o your liking, and you want t o t hink about it while it is
on your mind and change your point of at t ract ion so t hat it does not happen again.
• When you are reaching f or a f eeling of relief .

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Focus Wheel Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is ranging
somewhere bet ween: (8) Boredom and (17) Anger.
Through exposure t o lif e experiences, people of t en arrive at belief s t hat hold t hem in a vibrat ional
pat t ern t hat disallows t heir receiving of somet hing t hey desire. And even t hough t hose belief s are not
serving t hem, many people def end t heir cont inual ret urn t o t hose unpleasant f act s, arguing, “ Af t er all,
t hey’ re t rue. ”
We want t o remind you t hat t he only reason anyt hing has manif est ed int o a physical, t angible, def inable
t rut h is because someone has given enough at t ent ion t o it t o make t hat so. But j ust because someone else
has managed t o creat e t heir t rut h, it does not mean t hat it has any relat ionship t o you or t o what you will
creat e.
In your at t empt t o document t he f act s and event s of your t ime, you of t en, wit hout knowing you are doing
it , hold yourself in pat t erns of vibrat ions t hat make it cert ain t hat you will conf irm t he “ t rut h” (or some
f act you are st udying) wit h your own lif e experience. This is not because it is an undeniable t rut h t hat you
are wit nessing, but it is because, in your at t ent ion t o it , you have achieved vibrat ional harmony wit h it ,
so t he Law of At t ract ion brings a mat ching experience t o you.
Somet imes someone will say t o us, “ But Abraham, I cannot ignore t his, f or it ’ s t rue! ” And we say, It is
only t rue because someone has made it t rue by giving t heir at t ent ion t o it . You see, what you are act ually
saying here is, “ Because someone else has given at t ent ion t o t his and t heref ore, by t he Law of At t ract ion,
invit ed it int o t heir own experience, I t hink I’ ll do t he same. In ot her words, even t hough I don’ t want it ,
I’ m obliged t o creat e it in my own realit y because someone else did. ”
There are many t hings t hat are t rue t hat you do desi re. And t here are many t hings t hat are t rue t hat you
do not desire. It is our encouragement t hat you give your at t ent ion t o t he t hings t hat you do desire—and
make t hose wonderf ul t hings t he t rut h of your lif e experience.
Most people, however, have not deliberat ely guided t heir t hought s t o t hose t hings t hat f eel good, and so,
wit hout knowing t hey are doing it , t hey develop pat t erns of t hought s t hat t hey now cont inue t o repeat .
Of course, some of your pat t erns of t hought are ext remely benef icial t o you. Ot hers are not . And so, t his
Focus Wheel Process is designed t o assist you in changing your vibrat ional pat t erns on t hose specif ic
subj ect s t hat are not benef icial t o you. It is a process whereby you can lit erally pract ice your t hought s
int o a bet t er f eeling—and t heref ore int o a bet t er point of at t ract ion.
We recommend t hat you spend 15 or 20 minut es wit h t his process anyt ime you f eel st rong negat ive
emot ion about somet hing t hat has happened, or whenever you wish t o improve your f eeling of clarit y.
Your height ened negat ive emot ion is always highlight ing a good opport unit y t o shif t your Energy on a
subj ect , because somet hing t hat you have been living has brought it t o a part icularly f ocused posit ion.
And so now, as you apply t he Focus Wheel Process t o it , you will be able t o f eel any improvement t hat
you achieve in a more emphat ic way. We recommend using t his Focus Wheel Process in any moment when
you are keenly aware of somet hing t hat you do not want .
This is t he process where you make a general st at ement t hat mat ches your desire. In ot her words, you’ re
reaching f or a mat ch. And how do you know you have f ound one? Because you f eel a sense of relief . In
ot her words, t he st at ement soot hes you; t he st at ement j ust f eels a lit t le bet t er. And once you f ind it , if
you can f ocus t here t or a lit t le bit , even amplif y it or exaggerat e it , or remember somet hing relat ed t o
it . . . t hat is t o say, if you can manage, once you f ind t hat gent le comf ort ing st at ement , t o st ay t here f or
at least 17 seconds so t hat you allow anot her t hought t o j oin it . . . it will t hen give impet us t o your newly
st at ed belief .
 An Example of the Focus Wheel Process

Here’ s how t o begin t he Focus Wheel Process: Draw a large circle on a sheet of paper. Then draw a
smaller circle, about t wo inches in diamet er, in t he cent er of t he large circle. Sit back and look at t he
small circle and f eel your eyes f ocus upon it .
Now, close your eyes f or a moment and t urn your at t ent ion t o what ever has happened t hat has produced
t he negat ive emot ion wit hin you. Ident if y exact ly what it is t hat you do not want .
At t his point , say t o yourself , Well, I clearly know what I don’ t want . What is it t hat I do want ?
It is helpf ul if you t ry t o ident if y what you do not want as well as what you do want in t erms of t he way
you want t o f eel about it .
For example:
I f eel f at , and I want t o f eel slender.
I f eel poor, and I want t o f eel prosperous.
I f eel unloved, and I want t o f eel loved.
I f eel deceived, and I want t o f eel honored.
I f eel ill, and I want t o f eel well.
I f eel powerless, and I want t o f eel my power.
Next , t ry t o writ e st at ement s around t he out side edge of your large circle t hat mat ch what it is t hat you
do want . When you f ind a st at ement t hat is a close enough mat ch, you will know it . In ot her words, you
will f eel whet her your st at ement does not mat ch and t hrows you of f t he wheel int o t he bushes, so t o
speak, or whet her it is a st at ement t hat is close enough t o your desire t hat it st icks.
The reason t he Focus Wheel Process is so ef f ect ive is because t he st at ement s you are writ ing are t hose
t hat you have deliberat ely chosen. They are general st at ement s t hat you already believe, t hat mat ch your
desire. And t he reason it works is because t he Law of At t ract ion is so very powerf ul t hat when you hold a
t hought f or as lit t le as 17 seconds, anot her t hought like it will j oin it ; and as t hose t wo t hought s come
t oget her, t here is a combust ion t hat occurs t hat makes your t hought s even more powerf ul.
Whenever you make a general st at ement , you are more likely t o be pure in your t hought t han when you
make a specif ic st at ement , so t he power of t he Focus Wheel is t hat you are making general st at ement s
t hat you already believe, and as you hold each of t hem f or 17 seconds or so, it gives you an opport unit y t o
of f er a pure vibrat ion t hat is more and more specif ic t o your desire.
So, let us say t hat you are preparing t o do t his process and you know t hat your int ent ion is t o event ually
writ e: “ I f eel good about my body” or “ My knee is well. ” But if you begin t here, if t he f irst lit t le phrase
you writ e is: “ I f eel good about my body, ” you can t ell, by t he way you f eel, t hat t he Energy is not lined
up, because all it did was make you f eel ornery and aggravat e your awareness t hat you do f eel f at or t hat
your knee does hurt . So t hat st at ement was t oo specif ic.
In ot her words, it is sort of like t rying t o j ump on a t rain t hat is going t oo f ast , and all you do is j ust
bounce back of f of it . Can you imagine t rying t o get on a merry-go-round t hat is going t oo f ast ? You
cannot quit e get on yet , but if it slows down, you can— and t hen it can speed up, and as it does so t his
t ime, you can be comf ort able on it . What you want t o do is slow t he “ wheel” down, slow t he belief down,
so t hat you can get on. And t hen, once you do so, you can increase t he speed of t he vibrat ion.
Now, j ust by t rial and error, you can choose anot her st at ement . You might say somet hing like, “ I know
t hat my physical body responds t o my t hought s. ” Well, t hat is a sof t er st at ement , and you already believe
t hat , but t hat makes you a lit t le mad at yourself . So t hat was not a really good st art ing point eit her. You
f eel around f or somet hing else, and you say somet hing like, “ For t he most part , my body’ s doing all
right . ” Well, now, you believe t hat . That st at ement f eels all right . You are able t o st ay on t he merry-go-
round.
As you writ e t hat around your circle and f ocus upon it , it f eels pret t y good. And t hen you make anot her
st at ement . You might say somet hing like, “ I believe t hat t he Universe mat ches our vibrat ion. ” You
absolut ely believe t hat , so t hat st at ement st icks. Then you make a st at ement such as, “ This physical body
has been very good f or me. ” You believe t hat . That st at ement st ays. You are beginning t o f eel a lit t le
bet t er. You are beginning t o f eel a lit t le sense of relief . You are not quit e so mad at yourself . Your
vibrat ion is lif t ing.
And so, let us cont inue t o add power t o t his process of t he Focus Wheel: As you f ind t hought s t hat f eel
good, cont inue writ ing t hem around t he perimet er of your larger circle. St art at what 12 o’ clock would be
if you were looking at a clock, and t hen cont inue around t o 1 o’ clock, 2 o’ clock, and so on, unt il you have
12 st at ement s t hat f eel good t o you.
Since your t hought s are somet imes already spinning wit h such moment um t hat even t hough you want t o
change t hem you cannot f ind a place t o j ump in, t his Focus Wheel game is about f inding a t hought t hat is
close enough t o where you are right now so t hat you do not end up t hrown of f in t he bushes, but where
you can gradually begin moving t oward t he way you want t o f eel. It is a wonderf ul vibrat ional bridging
t ool.
For example, let us say t hat you f eel f at . Somet hing has happened in your experience t o bring t hat t o t he
f oref ront of your mind, and you are, in t his moment , f eeling st rong negat ive emot ion about it . Take your
paper, draw a circle in t he cent er of t he page, and wit hin t he circle you could writ e t he words: I want t o
f eel slender.
Now, f ocus upon t he subj ect at hand and t ry t o f ind t hought s t hat mat ch how you want t o f eel, t hought s
t hat f eel good t o you while you ponder t hem. Try t o f ind a t hought t hat does not t hrow you of f in t he
bushes.
I can be slender again.
(This t hought is t oo f ar f rom what you really believe, and while you want t o believe it , you do not . And
you can f eel t hat you do not . And so, because t his t hought does not f eel good t o you, t his is an of f -in-t he-
bushes st at ement . )
My sist ers are slender and beaut if ul.
(This t hought does not f eel good eit her. It point s out t heir success and makes you f eel your own lack of
success even more. This t hought t hrows you of f in t he bushes. )
I’ ll f ind somet hing t hat will work f or me.
(While t his t hought f eels a lit t le bit bet t er t han t he previous ones, it st ill does not f eel good. You have
t ried many t hings, but you believe t hat you have f ound not hing t hat works f or you, so t his t hought j ust
point s out your past f ailures. This t hought t hrows you of f in t he bushes. )
I know t hat t here are ot hers who have been where I now am who have f ound a way t hat works f or t hem.
(Wit h t his t hought , you may f eel a sensat ion of relief . You do f eel a lit t le bit bet t er. Remember, you are
not looking f or t he end-all solut ion here. You are only looking f or a t hought t hat f eels good enough t hat it
st icks. And t his t hought does not t hrow you of f in t he bushes. So, writ e it on your page at t he 12 o’ clock
posit ion, and now reach f or more good-f eeling t hought s. )
I don’ t have t o do all of t his t oday.
(That is anot her one t hat st icks. Writ e it at t he 1 o’ clock posit ion. )
I’ ll f ind a diet t hat works.
(Of f in t he bushes. )
I don’ t f eel good in my clot hes.
(Of f in t he bushes. )

t hought , when only minut es bef ore, you were nowhere near t hat vibrat ion. )

Abraham, Speak to Us More about the Focus Wheel Process

You may have heard us say t hat your point of power is in t he present because even t hough you may be
t hinking about t he past , or you may be t hinking about t he now, or you may be t hinking about t he f ut ure—
you are doing it all right now. You are vibrat ing now. The pulse is now. The vibrat ional of f ering is now. So
what is happening is, any creat ive t ension bet ween t he summoning of t he Lif e Force and allowing of it t o
f low t hrough you (t he summoning and t he allowing)—is all happening right here in t he now.
So, here is t he word t hat we want you t o f ocus upon f or t he next f ew days. Here you st and in t his f resh
place. We love t he f reshness of where you st and. And now we want t o show you how t o st and in t his f resh
place and align your f resh Energy wit h f resh desire t hat will bring f resh and easy result s.
The Focus Wheel is t he best t ool t hat we have f ound t o help you bridge a belief so t hat it mat ches your
desire. Now, t his is what we mean by t his: The f ormula f or creat ing anyt hing, even, let us say, j oyf ul t ax
preparat ion, is: Ident if y t he desire and t hen achieve a vibrat ional mat ch wit h it .

Another Example of a Focus Wheel Process

So, j ust begin by t rying t o f ind a phrase t hat will let you on t he wheel. Writ e phrases t hat are close
enough t o what you already believe so t hat t hey do not t hrow you of f in t he bushes, so t o speak. In ot her
words, if you wrot e, “ I’ m enj oying doing my t axes, ” you are of f in t he bushes. If you writ e, “ I j ust t hink it
is a wonderf ul t hing t hat t he government t akes my money and squanders it in useless ways, ” you are of f
in t he bushes. And so, t he goal is t o t ry t o f ind somet hing t hat mat ches your desire t hat f eels bet t er. So
you could writ e somet hing like, “ I like t o be on t op of my lif e. It f eels good t o meet my commit ment s. I
like it when I do t hings in a t imely f ashion. I love t he f eeling of order and organizat ion in my experience. ”
Now, t hat might have been t oo st rong a st at ement . You will know. You can t ell by t he way it f eels
whet her it st ays or whet her it does not . So t hrough t rial and error, you j ust keep t rying. So t hen you say
somet hing like, “ I imagine t hat t here are a whole lot of people who have f elt like I’ m f eeling, who now
have t his t hing handled. ” That got you on t he wheel! “ While t he IRS t axing syst em isn’ t perf ect , it ’ s a
mechanism t hrough which our government runs. ” Now, did you end up in t he bushes on t hat , or did you
get on t he wheel wit h it ? “ Every year I’ m get t ing bet t er at t his. I’ m managing t hings more comf ort ably.
I’ ll f ind ways t o make it more comf ort able. My t axes are a good incent ive t o help me sort of get organized
and f igure t hings out . ”

The Better It Feels, the Better It Gets

Now, here is t he t hing we want you t o hear: We have not solved anyt hing. In ot her words, not hing has
really changed. You st ill have your t axes t o do, but t he t hing t hat we most want you t o hear is t hat you
are st anding in a dif f erent place right now t han you were bef ore. In ot her words, clarit y will come t o you
more easily t han bef ore. Memory will come t o you more easily t han bef ore. An idea of where you lef t
somet hing will come t o you more easily t han bef ore. In ot her words, all t hose scat t ered pieces of your lif e
t hat are in piles and boxes and f olders and bot t oms of purses— all t hose pieces of inf ormat ion t hat are
scat t ered here and t here— are coming t oget her in your mind. In ot her words, your Inner Mind will begin t o
f eed you in a consist ent way; in a way t hat did not happen bef ore you t ook a lit t le t ime t o align your
Energy wit h your desire.
Whet her it is a cast le or a but t on, if you are using it as your obj ect of at t ent ion, it is summoning t he Lif e
Force, and it is t he f eel of t he Lif e Force t hat lif e is about . The reason t hat you are summoning it is
inconsequent ial. In ot her words, it is every bit as possible t o f eel as much j oy in t he preparat ion of your
t axes as in t he planning of an ocean cruise.
Now you might not believe t hat , but t hat is because you have not allowed t he Energy t o f low t hrough you
t oward t hat obj ect of at t ent ion wit hout resist ance. You summon t he Energy because you want t o do what
you have t o do, but t hen you divert t he Energy, because you have all t hese habit s or pract iced st at ement s
t hat do not let it f low. When you have Energy f lowing t hrough you and you do not let it f low, it beat s up
on you pret t y good. And now, because t he Focus Wheel Process causes you t o f ocus f or a longer-t han-
usual period of t ime on a specif ic subj ect while you are deliberat ely reaching f or t hought s t hat f eel good,
your point of at t ract ion does change.
By applying t his simple but powerf ul Focus Wheel Process t o a variet y of subj ect s as t hey come up in your
lif e, you can ef f ect ively improve your point of at t ract ion regarding everyt hing t hat is import ant t o you.
 Process #18 Finding the Feeling-Place

When t o Use This Process:

• When you want t o improve a sit uat ion.
• When you want more money.
• When you want a bet t er j ob.
• When you want a happier relat ionship.
• When you want a bet t er-f eeling body.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Finding t he Feeling-Place Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is
ranging somewhere bet ween: (9) Pessimism and (17) Anger.
Because you are generally giving much more at t ent ion t o t he aspect s of your lif e t hat you are living right
now, what ever you are living is carrying more vibrat ional weight , so t o speak, t han what you are desiring
or imagining. In ot her words, if you have a desire t o be slender even t hough you are considerably
overweight at t he moment , t he aspect s of your now experience are probably out weighing t he vibrat ions
of your visualizat ions.
Of t en people will say, “ I’ m not happy over here. I wish I could be over t here. ” But when asked what it is
about over t here t hat t hey desire, usually t hey will j ust explain t o you what is wrong wit h being over
here. Even t hough t hey use words such as, “ I want t o be over t here, ” or “ I want what is over t here, ” t heir
vibrat ion is much more about over here where t hey now st and t han about where t hey want t o be.
As in our earlier “ gas gauge” example of how unhelpf ul it would be f or you t o put a “ Happy Face” st icker
on your dashboard t o cover t he empt y t ank indicat or, in like manner t here is no value in using happy-
sounding words if you do not f eel happy. The Law of At t ract ion is not responding t o your words, but
inst ead is responding t o t he vibrat ions t hat are radiat ing f rom you. It is quit e possible f or you t o use all
t he right -sounding words at t he same t ime t hat you are in a st at e of powerf ul resist ance t o your own
Well-Being, f or t he words you use are not import ant —how you f eel is what mat t ers.
The Finding t he Feeling-Place Process is most helpf ul in making sure t hat you are radiat ing a vibrat ion
t hat will serve you, f or t his is a process t hat will help you realize what you are act ually at t ract ing. It is
one of using your imaginat ion t o pret end t hat your desire has already come about and t hat you are now
living t he det ails of t hat desire.
As you f ocus upon what it f eels like t o be living your desire, you cannot , at t he same t ime, be f eeling t he
absence of your desire, so wit h pract ice, you can t ip t he scale, so t o speak, so t hat even t hough your
desire has not yet act ually manif est ed, you are of f ering a vibrat ion as if it has—and t hen it must .
Again, t he Universe does not know if you are of f ering your vibrat ion because you are living what you are
living, or because you are imagining t hat you are living it . In eit her case, it answers t he vibrat ion—and t he
manif est at ion must f ollow.
For example, let us say t hat you go t o your mailbox and you f ind t he second not ice of anot her unpaid bill,
and as you open t he envelope, you f eel very uncomf ort able because, right now, you do not know how you
are going t o pay it . This bill is already overdue, and t here are several ot her overdue bills, so you f eel
overwhelmed and discouraged. “ I want more money, ” you say. “ I want a lot more money, ” you say, wit h
even more emphasis. But you are of f ering empt y, hollow words—t hat have no impact on your point of
at t ract ion what soever—because your words are not your point of at t ract ion. Your point of at t ract ion is
your pract iced vibrat ional of f ering, and t he way you f eel is t he real indicat or of what your point of
at t ract ion is. Right now you are pulsing wit h emot ions t hat clearly mat ch your st at e of not having enough
money.
Your goal, in t his process, is t o conj ure images t hat cause you t o of f er a vibrat ion t hat allows money. Your
goal is t o creat e images t hat f eel good t o you. Your goal is t o f ind t he f eeling-place of what it would be
like t o have enough money, rat her t han f inding t he f eeling-place of what it is like t o not have enough
money.
Now, you could remember a t ime when you had more money, or even a t ime when, even t hough you did
not necessarily have more money, at least you were not f eeling t he st ress of t oo many bills. And when you
f ind t hat memory, t ry t o remember as many det ails as possible in order t o t ry t o f eel it even more.
You could pret end t hat you have more money t han you have any sensible use f or; pret end t hat you have
so much money you do not know where t o keep it all, and imagine you have t ons of it in t he pant ry and
under t he bed. See yourself going t o t he bank wit h bucket s of change t hat you are convert ing t o dollar
bills. See yourself t aking $5, $10, and $20 bills and having t hem convert ed t o $100 bills, j ust f or sake of
more ef f icient st orage.
You could pret end t hat you have a credit card wit h an unlimit ed balance t hat is easily paid, a sort of
magic card t hat you use several t imes every day because it is very ef f icient , and t hen, once a mont h, you
casually writ e a check t hat pays f or all of t he charges you have incurred. Pret end t hat t he rat io of your
money in t he bank t o t his mont h’ s credit card balance is so great t hat paying t he bill is inconsequent ial t o
your experience.
The more of t en you play t his Finding t he Feeling-Place Process, t he bet t er you will be at playing it , and
t he more f un it will become. When you pret end, or select ively remember, you act ivat e new vibrat ions—
and your point of at t ract ion shif t s. And when your point of at t ract ion shif t s, your lif e will improve
regarding every subj ect f or which you have f ound a new f eeling-place.
 Process #19 Releasing Resistance to Become Free of Debt

When t o Use This Process:

• When you want t o experience t he relief of being debt f ree.
• When you want t o creat e a larger spreadbet ween what you earn and what you spend.
• When you want t o f eel bet t er about money.
• When you want t o increase t he f low of money t hrough your experience.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This process t o Become Free of Debt will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -Point is
ranging somewhere bet ween: (10) Frust rat ion/ Irrit at ion/ Impat ience and (22) Fear/ Grief / Depression/
Despair/ Powerlessness.
To begin t he process of Releasing Resist ance t o Become Free of Debt , obt ain a columnar writ ing pad wit h
as many columns as you have mont hly expendit ures. Now, beginning in t he f ar lef t column, writ e a
heading t hat describes your largest mont hly out go. For example, if t he largest check t hat you writ e each
mont h is your house payment , t hen you would writ e as a header: “ House Payment . ” And next , on t he f irst
line beneat h t he header, writ e t he dollar amount of t hat house payment . Now, circle t his amount , which
represent s t he amount you are obligat ed t o pay each mont h, and t hen, on t he t hird line, ent er t he t ot al
out st anding debt f or t his “ House Payment ” cat egory.
Next , ent er your second largest payment in t he second column, your t hird largest payment in t he t hird
column, and so on. And across t he t op of your columnar pad, writ e t he f ollowing af f irmat ion: It is my
desire t o keep my promise regarding all of t hese f inancial obligat ions, and in some cases I will even do
t wice as much as is required.
Each t ime you receive a bill, get out your columnar pad and adj ust , if necessary, t he minimum mont hly
amount t hat is required. If it st ays t he same, t hen writ e t he same f igure.
The f irst t ime you receive a bill, or when it is t ime t o make t he payment f or t he cat egory t hat is on t he
f ar right column of your pad (in ot her words, t he smallest payment you make each mont h), writ e t he
check f or exact ly t wice what is required. And as you do so, writ e in t he new amount of t hat out st anding
balance.
This may seem a lit t le st range t o you when you f irst begin t o play t he game, but even if you do not have
enough money t o pay everyt hing you owe in all of t he columns, st ill double t he payment in t he f ar right
column. And f eel glad t hat you have kept your new promise t o yourself t o do your best t o pay everyt hing
you owe, and t o do even t wice t hat amount in some cases.
Because you are looking at your f inances in a way t hat is new, your vibrat ion will begin t o shif t right
away. As you f eel even t he slight est bit of pride f or keeping your word, your vibrat ion will shif t . As you
keep your promise about doubling up on payment s, your vibrat ion will shif t . And wit h t his shif t , even if it
is slight , t hings will begin t o change in your f inancial condit ion.
If you will t ake t he t ime t o really ent er everyt hing you owe on t he columnar pad, your newly f ocused
at t ent ion will begin t o posit ively act ivat e circumst ances around t he subj ect of money f or you. Inst ead of
f eeling discouraged as you f ind yet anot her bill in your mailbox, you will f eel an eagerness t o ent er t he
bill on your columnar pad. And wit h t his shif t in at t it ude and vibrat ion, t hings will begin t o change in your
f inancial pict ure.
Money t hat you were not expect ing will appear in your experience. Bargains will reveal t hemselves, so
your dollars will go f urt her t han you expect ed. All kinds of unusual f inancial t hings will occur, and when
t hey do, be consciously aware t hat t hese t hings are happening in response t o your newly f ocused
at t ent ion and t he result ant shif t in your vibrat ion.
As ext ra money appears, you will f ind yourself eager t o apply anot her payment t o t he f ar right column.
And soon, t hat debt will be paid, and you can eliminat e t hat column f rom your pad. Column af t er column
will disappear as your f inancial gap bet ween what is coming in and what is going out widens. Your sense
of f inancial well-being will improve on t he f irst day you play t his game. And if you will t ake t he game
seriously, your vibrat ion around money will shif t so signif icant ly t hat you can be debt f ree in a short t ime,
if t hat is your desire.
There is not hing wrong wit h debt , but if your debt f eels like a heavy burden, t hen your vibrat ion around
money is one of resist ance. When t he burden has lif t ed, when you f eel light er and f reer, your resist ance
has lif t ed, and you are now in t he posit ion t o allow t he Well-Being t o f low abundant ly int o your
experience.
 Abraham, Speak to Us More about Money and the Economy

As we ment ioned in Process #17, it is as easy t o creat e a cast le as a but t on. It is j ust a mat t er of whet her
you are f ocused on a cast le or a but t on, but it can also be as sat isf ying t o creat e a but t on as a cast le. And
whet her it is a cast le or a but t on, if you are using it as your obj ect of at t ent ion, it is summoning t he Lif e
Force, and t he f eeling of t he Lif e Force is what lif e is about ; t he reason t hat you are summoning it is
inconsequent ial.
So what about creat ing a very posit ive current of f inancial abundance? What about get t ing so good at
visualizing t hat t he money f lows t hrough you easily? What about expending money, and giving more
people opport unit y? What bet t er way could anyone spend money t han by put t ing it back int o t he economy
t hat gives more people work? The more you spend, t he more people benef it , and t he more people get in
on t he game and dovet ail wit h you.
Your role is t o ut ilize Energy. That is why you exist . You are an Energy-f lowing Being—a f ocuser, a
perceiver. You are a creat or, and t here is not hing worse in all of t he Universe t han t o come f ort h int o t he
environment of great cont rast , where desire is easily born, and not allow Energy t o f low t o your desire.
That is a t rue squandering of lif e.
There is no high work or low work. There are j ust opport unit ies t o f ocus. You can f eel as f ulf illed and
sat isf ied in any t ask as in any ot her, f or you are on t he Leading Edge of t hought , and Source is f lowing
t hrough you—no mat t er what your endeavor is. You can be j oyf ul at any endeavor where you decide t o
allow t he Energy t o f low. Spirit ual versus mat erial are not t he choices. Everyt hing about t his physical,
manif est at ional experience is spirit ual. It is all t he end product of Spirit . You have not hing t o prove. Be
t he Spirit ual You, and creat e like a physical f iend.

Your Financial Decline Will Not Elevate the Impoverished

Think about what t he economy was like in t his nat ion a f ew hundred years ago. What has changed? Have
more resources been t rucked in f rom ot her planet s? Or have t here not been more people, over more t ime,
who j ust ident if ied more t hings t hat t hey desire and t he Non-Physical Energy, which is endless and
inf init e, supplied t hat ?
We never hear any of you say, “ Well, I’ ve been well f or so many years t hat I’ ve decided t hat I’ m going t o
be sick f or a while t o allow some ot her people t o be well, ” because you know t hat whet her you are well
or not does not have anyt hing t o do wit h ot hers not get t ing enough wellness. You are not using up t he
wellness and depriving t hem of it . And it is t he same t hing wit h t he abundance. People who have
managed t o f ind vibrat ional harmony wit h abundance—so t hat it is f lowing t o t hem and t hrough t hem—
are not depriving anyone else of t hat abundance. You cannot get poor enough t o help t he impoverished
people t hrive. It is only in your t hriving t hat you have anyt hing t o of f er anyone. If you want t o be of help
t o ot hers, be as t apped in, t uned in, and t urned on as you can possibly be.
Feel appreciat ion f or t hose who provide examples of well-being. How would you know t hat prosperit y was
possible if t here was not some evidence of it around you? It is all part of t he cont rast t hat helps you
sharpen your desire. Money is not t he root of happiness, but it is not t he root of evil eit her. Money is t he
result of how somebody lines up Energy. If you do not want money, do not at t ract it . But we say t o you
t hat your crit icism of ot hers who have money holds you in a place where t hings you do want , such as
wellness, clarit y, and Well-Being, cannot come t o you eit her.
If t he subj ect of money makes you uncomf ort able when you t hink about it , it means t hat t here is st rong
desire relat ed t o it , which means t hat it really, really, really mat t ers. So f inding a way t o t hink about it
and f eel good is your work. But it is equally ef f ect ive t o t hink about anyt hing else and f eel good—and let
it in. You do not have t o t hink about money in order t o let in money. You j ust cannot t hink about lack of
money and let in money.

Success Is about the Joy You Feel

We love seeing you applauding someone else’ s success, because when you are genuinely t hrilled by it ,
t hat means you are right on t he t rack of your own. Many t hink t hat success means get t ing everyt hing t hey
want . And we say t hat t his is what dead is, and t here is no such t hing as t hat kind of dead. Success is not
about get t ing it done. It is about st ill dreaming and f eeling posit ive in t he unf olding. The st andard of
success in lif e is not t he money or t he st uf f —t he st andard of success h absolut ely t he amount of j oy you
f eel.
You can say t hings such as, “ When I look at successf ul people— and by t hat I mean rich people, yes, and I
mean happy people— somet imes t hey are rich and happy. When I’ m t alking about t he successf ul ones,
what I really mean is t he really happy people—people who are really j oyf ul, who are eager t o get on wit h
t heir day. Almost all of t hem, wit hout except ion, had a pret t y rough beginning, which t urned t hem int o
powerf ul rebels, init ially. Then t hey f ound a way t o relax int o t heir nat ural birt hright of Well-Being. ”
(Success is about a happy lif e, and a happy lif e is j ust a st ring of happy moment s. But most people do not
allow t he happy moment s because t hey are so busy t rying t o get a happy lif e. )
Inst ead of “ Earning” Abundance, “ Allow” Your Abundance
Your act ion has not hing t o do wit h your abundance! Your abundance is a response t o your vibrat ion. Of
course your belief is part of your vibrat ion, so if you believe t hat act ion is part of what brings you
abundance, t hen you have t o unravel t hat . We would like you t o release t he word earn f rom your
vocabulary and your underst anding alt oget her, and we would like you t o replace it wit h t he word allow.
You want t o allow your Well-Being; it is not somet hing t hat you need t o earn. All you have t o do is decide
what you would like t o experience, and t hen allow it in order t o receive it . It is not somet hing you have t o
st ruggle or t ry f or. You are all wort hy Beings, and you are deserving of t his Well-Being.
All t he resources you will ever want or need are at your f ingert ips. All you have t o do is ident if y what you
want t o do wit h it and t hen pract ice t he f eeling-place of what it will be like when t hat happens. There is
not hing you cannot be, do, or have; you are blessed Beings, and you have come f ort h int o t his physical
environment t o creat e. There is not hing holding you back ot her t han your own cont radict ory t hought s.
And your emot ion t ells you whenever you have such t hought s. Lif e is supposed t o be f un—it is supposed t o
f eel good! You are powerf ul creat ors, and you are right on schedule.
Savor more; f ix less. Laugh more; cry less. Ant icipat e posit ively more; ant icipat e negat ively less. Not hing
is more import ant t han t hat you f eel good. Just pract ice t hat and wat ch what happens.
 Process #20 Turning It Over to the Manager

When t o Use This Process:

• When you f eel you have t oo much t o do.
• When you want more t ime t o domore t hings t hat you enj oy.
• When you want t o become t he powerful creat or t hat you were born t o be.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Turning It Over t o t he Manager Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -
Point is ranging somewhere bet ween: (10) Frust rat ion/ Irrit at ion/ Impat ience and (17) Anger.
Imagine t hat you are t he owner of a very large corporat ion and t hat t here are t housands of people who
work f or you. There are people who assist in t he manuf act uring and market ing of your product s; and
t here are bookkeepers, account ant s, and advisors. There are art ist s, advert ising expert s—t housands of
people, all working t o make your company successf ul.
Now, imagine t hat you do not personally work wit h any of t hese people, but you have a manager who
does, and your manager underst ands t hem, advises t hem, and direct s t hem. So, whenever you get an idea
about somet hing, you express it t o your manager, who says, “ I’ ll t ake care of t hat right away. ” And he
does. Ef f icient ly. Ef f ect ively. Precisely. Just t he way you like it .
You may be saying t o yourself right now, “ I’ d love t o have a manager like t hat —someone I can count on,
someone who would work on my behalf . ”
And we say t o you, You do have a manager who is t hat and much more. You have a manager who works
cont inually on your behalf called t he Law of At t ract ion, and you have only t o ask in order f or t his
Universal Manager t o j ump t o your request .
But most of you do not see t his manager in t his way. You have t his manager, but you cont inue t o hold t he
responsibilit y in your own heart . In ot her words, you say, “ Oh yeah, t he Law of At t ract ion is out t here,
but I’ ve got t o do all t he work. ” And we say, Well, t hen, what good is t he Law of At t ract ion? That would
be like having a manger t hat you pay $500, 000 a year t o who j ust asks you, “ Is t here anyt hing you want
f rom me?” And you reply, “ No, no, no. I’ m happy j ust t o pay you t o have t hat t it le. ” Meanwhile, you are
out t here scrambling around, doing all t he comput er st uf f and all t he building st uf f . . . you work yourself
int o oblivion and are exhaust ed all t he t ime, while your manager is basking on t he beach somewhere.
You would not do t hat , would you? You would put your manager t o work. You would delegat e t o him or
her, making request s wit h an expect at ion of receiving. And t hat is t he way you must t reat t he Law of
At t ract ion. Make request s wit h t he at t it ude of expect ing result s. And when you delegat e in t hat way, you
are doing t he only t wo t hings t hat are required in Deliberat e Creat ion: You are ident if ying your obj ect of
desire, and you are allowing t he Universe t o yield it t o you.
So, set t ing goals is like delegat ing t o t he Universal Manager. And achieving t he vibrat ion of allowing is like
st anding back and t rust ing your manager t o set t hings int o place, t rust ing t hat when somet hing is required
of you, your manager will bring your at t ent ion t o it . In ot her words, when anot her decision is needed f rom
you, you will be aware of it .
You are not delegat ing your lif e—you are creat ing your lif e. You are becoming t he visionary, in t he
creat ion mode, rat her t han t he “ act ionary. ” But t here will st ill be plent y of t hings t hat you will want t o
do. We in no way want t o st eer you away f rom act ion. Act ion is f un. There is not anyt hing in all of t he
Universe more delicious t han t o have a desire t hat you are a vibrat ional mat ch t o, and—in t hat alignment
of your being connect ed t o Source Energy—being inspired t o an act ion. That is t he f urt hest ext ension of
t he Creat ion Process—t here is no act ion in all of t he Universe t hat is more delicious t han inspired act ion.
 Process #21 Reclaiming One’ s Natural State of Health

When t o Use This Process:

• When you do not f eel well.
• When you have been given an unset t ling diagnosis.
• When you are f eeling pain.
• When you want t o f eel more vit al.
• When you f eel a vague f ear associat ed wit h your body.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Reclaiming One’ s Nat ural St at e of Healt h Process will be of t he most value t o you when your
Emot ional Set -Point is ranging somewhere bet ween: (10) Frust rat ion/ Irrit at ion/ Impat ience and (22)
Fear/ Grief / Depression/ Despair/ Powerlessness.
Do t his process while lying in a comf ort able place—t he more comf ort able, t he bet t er. Choose a t ime when
you have approximat ely 15 minut es when you are not likely t o be dist urbed by anyone.
Now, writ e t his short list in a place where it will be easy f or you t o read, and when you f irst lie down,
read it slowly t o yourself .
• It is nat ural f or my body t o be well.
• Even if I don’ t know what t o do inorder t o get bet t er, my body does.
• I have t rillions of cells wit h individual Consciousness, and t hey know how t o achieve t heir individual
balance.
• When t his condit ion began, I didn’ t know what I know now.
• If I had known t hen what I know now, t his condit ion couldn’ t have got t en st art ed.
• I don’ t need t o underst and t he cause of t his illness.
• I don’ t need t o explain how it is t hat I’ m experiencing t his illness.
• I have only t o gent ly, event ually, release t his illness.
• It doesn’ t mat t er t hat it got st art ed, because it ’ s reversing it s course right now.
• It ’ s nat ural t hat it would t ake some t ime f or mybody t o begin t o align t o my improved t hought s of Well-
Being.
• There’ s no hurry about any of t his.
• My body knows what t o do.
• Well-Being is nat ural t o me.
• My Inner Being is int ricat ely aware of my physical body.
• My cells are asking f or what t hey need in order to t hrive, and Source Energy is answering t hose request s.
• I’ m in very good hands.
• I will relax now, t o allow communicati on bet ween my body and my Source.
• My only work is t o relax and breat he.
• I can do t hat .
• I can do t hat easily.
Now, j ust lie t here and enj oy t he comf ort of t he mat t ress beneat h you—and f ocus upon your breat hing—in
and out , in and out . Your goal is t o be as comf ort able as possible.
Breat he as deeply as you can while st ill remaining comf ort able. Do not f orce it . Do not t ry t o make
anyt hing happen. There is not hing f or you t o do ot her t han t o relax and breat he.
You will very likely begin t o f eel sof t , gent le sensat ions in your body. Smile, and acknowledge t hat t his is
Source Energy specif ically answering your cellular request . You are now f eeling t he healing process. Do
not hing t o t ry t o help it or int ensif y it . Just relax and breat he—and allow it .
If you were experiencing pain when you laid down, f ollow t he same process. However, if you were f eeling
pain, it would be helpf ul f or you t o add t hese words t o your writ t en and spoken list :
• This sensat ion of pain is an indicat or t hat Sour ce is responding t o my cellular request f or Energy.
• This sensat ion of pain is a wonderful indicat or t hat help is on t he way.
• I will relax int o t his sensat ion of pain becauseI underst and t hat it ’ s indicat ing improvement .
Now, if you can, drif t of f t o sleep. Smile in your knowledge t hat All-Is-Well. Breat he and relax—and t rust .
 Abraham, Speak to Us More about Our Physical Body

The next t ime you f eel any discomf ort , st op in t he middle of it and say t o yourself , “ This discomf ort t hat
I’ m f eeling is not hing more t han my awareness of resist ance. It ’ s t ime f or me t o relax and breat he, relax
and breat he, relax and breat he. ” And you can, in seconds, bring yourself back int o comf ort .
Every cell in your body has a direct relat ionship wit h Creat ive Lif e Force, and each cell is independent ly
responding. When you f eel j oy, all t he circuit s are open, so t he Lif e Force can be f ully received. When
you f eel guilt , blame, f ear, or anger, t he circuit s are hindered and Lif e Force cannot f low as ef f ect ively.
Physical experience is about monit oring t hose circuit s and keeping t hem as open as possible. Your cells
know what t o do; t hey are summoning t he Energy.
There is no condit ion t hat you cannot modif y int o somet hing more, any more t han t here is any paint ing
t hat you cannot repaint .
There are many limit ing t hought s in t he human environment t hat can make it seem t hat t hese so-called
incurable illnesses or unchangeable condit ions cannot not be changed. But we say t hat t hey are only
“ unchangeable” because you believe t hey are. Someone asked us recent ly, “ Is t here any limit at ion t o t he
body’ s abilit y t o heal?” And we said, None, ot her t han t he belief t hat you hold. And he asked, “ Then why
aren’ t people growing new limbs?” And we said, Because no one believes t hey can.

But What about an Unhealthy Little Baby?

The quest ion t hat of t en arises is: “ Well, what about t he lit t le ones? What about t he unhealt hy babies?”
And we say t hat t hey have been exposed t o a vibrat ion, even in t he womb, t hat caused t hem t o disallow
t he Well-Being t hat would have been t here ot herwise. But once t hey are born, no mat t er what t heir
disabilit y, if t hey could be encouraged t o t he t hought t hat would allow t he Well-Being, t hen even af t er
t he body is f ully f ormed, it could be regenerat ed int o somet hing t hat is well.
It is nat ural f or you t o be absolut ely well. It is nat ural f or you t o be abundant . It is nat ural f or you t o f eel
good. It is nat ural f or you t o f eel clarit y. It is not nat ural t o f eel conf usion or t o not have enough or t o
f eel lack or blame. These are not nat ural t o t he you t hat is really You. But t hey seem t o be sort of nat ural
t o t he human pat t erns t hat most of you have picked up along your physical t rail.
Anyt ime you have physical discomf ort of any kind, whet her you call it emot ional or physical pain wit hin
your body, it always, always means t he same t hing: “ I have a desire t hat is summoning Energy, but I have
a belief t hat is not allowing, so I’ ve creat ed resist ance in my body. ” The solut ion, every single t ime, t o
t he releasing of discomf ort or pain is t he relaxat ion and t he reaching f or t he f eeling of relief .
We are asked, “ If t here is no source of illness, t hen why are t here so many sick people?” It is because
t hey have f ound lot s of excuses t o hold t hemselves in vibrat ional discord wit h wellness. They are not
let t ing it in. And when t hey do not let Well-Being in, t he absence of it looks like sickness. And when
enough of t hem do it , you say, “ Oh, t here must be a sour ce of sickness. In f act , let us give it a label. Let ’ s
call it cancer. Let ’ s call it all kinds of t errible t hings, and let ’ s imply t hat it j umps int o people’ s
experience. ” And we say t hat it never j umps int o anybody’ s experience. It is j ust t hat people learn,
t hrough t rial and error and t hrough banging around wit h each ot her, pat t erns of t hought t hat do not let
Well-Being in. As you do not allow t he Well-Being in, it shows up in shadows in your lif e t hat are illnesses
in your body, and deprivat ion of t hings t hat you want . Then, over t ime, you come t o believe t hat t hat is a
realit y t hat has a source somewhere. And t hen you develop whole bodies of inf ormat ion t o prot ect
yourself f rom t he “ evil source” t hat never exist ed t o begin wit h.

If You Have Received a Frightening Diagnosis

If you get a diagnosis t hat is not what you want t o hear, t he t endency is t o say, “ Oh my God! How did I
get so f ar away f rom somet hing I want so much?” And we say t hat it is not a big t hing at all—it is j ust a
series of lit t le t hings. It is t he, “ I could choose t his t hought t hat f eels good, or t his t hought t hat does not
f eel so good, but I’ ve developed a pat t ern f or what does not f eel good. So it ’ s t he daily dose of not being
in t he receiving mode t hat keeps me out of t he receiving mode. ”
And t hat is all t hat it is! So, do not let any place t hat you are st anding f right en you. All it is, is a by-
product of some Energy alignment t hat only gives you st ronger clarit y about what you want — and, most
import ant , great er sensit ivit y about whet her you are in a receiving mode or locked of f f rom it .
Wellness t hat is being allowed, or t he wellness t hat is being denied, is all about t he mind-set , t he mood,
t he at t it ude, or t he pract iced t hought s. There is not one except ion in any human or beast because you
can pat ch t hem up again and again, and t hey will j ust f ind anot her way of revert ing back t o t he nat ural
rhyt hm of t heir mind. Treat ing t he body really is about t reat ing t he mind. It is all psychosomat ic—every
bit of it . No except ions.
There is not hing t hat cannot be reorient ed t o Well-Being. But it does t ake t he det erminat ion t hat you are
going t o put your t hought s upon somet hing t hat f eels good. So here we are going t o make a very bold
st at ement : Any disease could be healed in a mat t er of days—any disease—if dist ract ion f rom it could
occur and a dif f erent vibrat ion dominat e—and t he healing t ime is about how much mix-up t here is in all of
t hat , f or any malady in your physical body was a lot longer in coming t han it t akes t o release it .

Illness As an Extension of Negative Emotion

Physical pain is j ust an ext ension of emot ion. It is all t he same t hing; t here are t wo emot ions—one f eels
good and one f eels bad. This means t hat you are connect ed t o your Energy St ream or you are not allowing
your Energy St ream. Illness or pain is j ust an ext ension of negat ive emot ion, and when you are no longer
f eeling any resist ance t o it , it is a non-issue.
Do you have t o t hink specif ic posit ive t hought s about your body in order f or it t o be t he way you want it
t o be? No. But you have t o not t hink t he specif ic negat ive t hought s. If you could never again t hink about
your body and, inst ead, j ust t hink pleasant t hought s, your body would reclaim it s nat ural place
of wellness.
You can live comf ort ably, j oyf ully, resiliency, and healt hf ully as long as you have desire t hat summons lif e
t hrough you. People do not die because t hey pass t hrough t ime. They die because t hey do not allow t his
arena t o st imulat e decisions. The only reason people ever die is eit her because t hey have st opped making
decisions about being here, or t hey have made decisions about being Non-Physical.

You Could Remain in These Bodies Indefinitely

Are we saying t hat you could reach what you consider t o be a prime human physical condit ion and t hat
you could maint ain it f or as long as you remain physically f ocused in t his body? The answer is. . . absolut ely
yes. And it does not mean reaching your prime and t hen j umping of f a clif f t he same day eit her. It means
reaching your prime and basking in t he deliciousness of t hat . Now, why is anyt hing ot her t han t hat t he
more consist ent experience? Because almost everybody is looking around and vibrat ing in response t o
what t hey are seeing. So what is t he solut ion? Look around less. Imagine more. Look around less. Imagine
more. Unt il your imagery is t he most f amiliar vibrat ion t hat you have.
You could remain in t hese bodies indef init ely if you would allow your environment t o cont inue t o produce
new, cont inuing, lif e-summoning, pure, unresist ed desire. You could be one who opened your vort ex t o
cont inually f ind new t hings t o want , and t hose desires would cont inue t o summon t he Lif e Force t hrough
you. In ot her words, you are living raucously; you are living j oyously; you are living rambunct iously, and
you are living passionat ely. . . and t hen, f rom t hat same f ramework, you make a conscious decision t o
make your t ransit ion.

Every Death Is Self-imposed

The best reason t o make your t ransit ion int o t he Non-Physical is not because t he physical is miserable. It
is because you have a sense of complet ion in physical—and you are looking f or anot her vant age point .
Deat h is a wit hdrawal of Consciousness; it is like t aking at t ent ion f rom here and put t ing it t here.
Every deat h is brought about by t he culminat ion of t he vibrat ion of t he Being. There is not an except ion
t o t hat . No one, beast or human, makes t heir t ransit ion int o t he Non-Physical wit hout it being t he
vibrat ional consensus t hat is wit hin t hem, so every deat h is a suicide because every deat h is self -imposed.
You are an et ernal Being always proj ect ing f rom Non-Physical, and somet imes t hat proj ect ion is int o a
physical personalit y. When t he physical personalit y is complet e f or t his t ime, t hen t here is a wit hdrawal
of f ocus. It is sort of like: Here you sit , and somet imes you go int o a movie, and somet imes you come back
out of t he movie, but you are always t he you t hat went int o t he movie, whet her you are in t he movie or
not .
Here is a rule of t humb t hat will help you: If you believe t hat somet hing is good, and you do it , it benef it s
you. If you believe t hat somet hing is bad, and you do it , it is a very det riment al experience. There is
not hing t hat you can do t hat is worse f or yourself t han t o do somet hing t hat you believe is inappropriat e,
so get clear and happy about whichever choice you make, because it is your cont radict ion t hat causes t he
maj orit y of t he cont radict ion in vibrat ion.
Make a decision about what you want , f ocus your at t ent ion t here, and f ind t he f eeling-place of it —and
you are t here inst ant ly. There is no reason f or you t o suf f er or st ruggle your way t o or t hrough anyt hing.
 Process #22 Moving Up the Emotional Scale

When t o Use This Process:

• When you f eel bad and are havinga dif f icult t ime f eeling bet t er.
• When somet hing has happened t o you or someone close t o you t hat has knocked you back on your heels
(t hat is, someone died, your lover lef t you, your dog got run over, and so on).
• When it has been necessary f or you t o deal wit h acrisis.
• When you have been diagnosed wit h a f right ening li lness.
• When someone you love has been diagnosed wit h a f right ening illness.
• When your child, or someone very close t o you, isexperiencing a t rauma or crisis.

Current Emotional Set-Point Range

This Moving Up t he Emot ional Scale Process will be of t he most value t o you when your Emot ional Set -
Point is ranging somewhere bet ween: (17) Anger and (22) Fear/ Grief / Depression/ Despair/ Powerlessness.
So, t he cont rast of your lif e experience has helped you ident if y your pref erences and desires. And
whet her you speak t hem out loud or not , Source has heard each of your pref erences and desires—no
mat t er how large or small t hey may seem—and has answered t hem. And t he manager, called t he Law of
At t ract ion, has lined up circumst ances, event s, ot her people, and all manner of t hings t o assist in t he
f ulf illment of your desires. In ot her words, you have asked, and it is given—but now you must let it in.
Remember, t here is no Non-Physical Source of darkness, sickness, conf usion, or evil. There is only t he
St ream of Well-Being, and it is f lowing t oward you at all t imes. And unless you are of f ering resist ance of
some kind, you are t he f ull receiver of it , and your emot ions help you underst and t o what ext ent you are
allowing or resist ing t he St ream. In ot her words, t he bet t er you f eel, t he less you are resist ing; t he worse
you f eel, t he more you are resist ing.
The process of Moving Up t he Emot ional Scale will assist you, no mat t er where you st and, no mat t er what
you are creat ing, and no mat t er how you f eel, t o lower your st at e of resist ance and t heref ore improve
your st at e of allowing—and every f eeling of relief will be an indicat ion of your release of resist ance.
We want t o help you underst and t hat Deliberat e Creat ion is really about deliberat ely achieving an
emot ional st at e. For example:
• When you do not have enough money, you want more. But we want you t o underst and t hat t he dist ance
you will be t raveling is not t he dist ance bet ween not enough money t o enough money, but inst ead is t he
dist ance bet ween a f eeling of insecurit y t o a f eeling of securit y. Once you pract ice t he t hought t hat
makes you consist ent ly f eel more secure—t he money must f ollow.
• When you are sick, you want t o be well, but t he dist ance you are t raveling is not f rom sickness t o
wellness—but f rom f ear t o conf idence. Once you pract ice t he t hought s t hat make you f eel more
conf ident , t he physical improvement must f ollow.
• When you have no mat e and want t o f ind one, t he dist ance you are really t raveling is f rom t he f eeling
of being lonely t o t he f eeling of excit ement or sat isf act ion. Once you pract ice t he t hought s t hat make you
f eel excit ement or ant icipat ion, t he perf ect mat e must f ollow.
You may say, I want a new car, but what t he Universe is hearing is:
I am not happy wit h my current car.
I f eel embarrassed by my current car.
I f eel disappoint ed t hat I don’ t have a bet t er car.
I f eel j ealous t hat my neighbor has a much bet t er car.
I f eel angry t hat I cannot af f ord a bet t er car.
You may say, I want t o be well, but what t he Universe is hearing is:
I’ m worried about my body.
I’ m disappoint ed wit h myself .
I’ m worried about my healt h.
I’ m af raid t hat I will have a bad experience like my mot her had.
I’ m angry t hat I didn’ t t ake bet t er care of myself .
You may say, I want t o f ind anot her j ob, but what t he Universe is hearing is:
I’ m angry because my employer doesn’ t see my value.
I f eel bored.
I f eel unhappy wit h my current salary.
I’ m f rust rat ed t hat I can’ t make t hem underst and.
I’ m overwhelmed, wit h t oo much t o do.
There is not hing t hat you or anyone else has ever want ed t hat exist s f or any ot her reason t han you t hink
you will f eel bet t er in t he achieving of it . Once you consciously ident if y your current st at e of emot ion, it
becomes easier f or you t o underst and whet her you are choosing t hought s t hat move you closer t o your
desired dest inat ion or f urt her f rom your desired dest inat ion. If you will make t he improved f eeling or
emot ion be your real dest inat ion, t hen anyt hing and everyt hing t hat you want will quickly f ollow.
The f ollowing is t he basic list of emot ions (also f ound in Chapt er 22), beginning wit h t hose t hat hold t he
least resist ance, all t he way down t o t hose t hat hold t he great est resist ance. Whenever emot ions have
very similar vibrat ions, we have indicat ed t hem on t he same line. These emot ions range f rom t he
ext remes of st rongly allowing of your Source Energy t o st rongly disallowing of your Source Energy—and
t hey are indicat ed by t he words of Empowerment or Joy, on one end of t he scale, all t he way down t o
Depression or Powerlessness on t he ot her end.
The words, or t it les, t hat have been given t o t hese emot ions are not absolut ely accurat e because
dif f erent people f eel dif f erent about emot ions even when t hey are using similar words. However, t he
Universe is not responding t o your words; it is responding t o your vibrat ional of f ering t hat is accurat ely
and always accompanied by your emot ions.
So, f inding t he perf ect word t o describe t he way you f eel is not essent ial t o t his process, but f eeling t he
emot ion is import ant —and f inding ways t o improve t he f eeling is even more import ant . In ot her words,
t his game is st rict ly about discovering t hought s t hat give you f eelings of relief .
A scale of your emot ions would look somet hing like t his:
1. Joy/ Knowledge/ Empowerment / Freedom/ Love/ Appreciat ion.
2. Passion.
3. Ent husiasm/ Eagerness/ Happiness.
4. Posit ive Expect at ion/ Belief .
5. Opt imism.
6. Hopef ulness.
7. Cont ent ment .
8. Boredom.
9. Pessimism.
10. Frust rat ion/ Irrit at ion/ Impat ience.
11. Overwhelment .
12. Disappoint ment .
13. Doubt .
14. Worry.
15. Blame.
16. Discouragement .
17. Anger.
18. Revenge.
19. Hat red/ Rage.
20. Jealousy.
21. Insecurit y/ Guilt / Unwort hiness.
22. Fear/ Grief / Depression/ Despair/ Powerlessness.
Here is t he way we would apply t his powerf ul process: When you are aware t hat you are f eeling some
rat her st rong negat ive emot ion, t ry t o ident if y what t he emot ion is. Consciously t hink about what ever is
bot hering you unt il you can pinpoint t he emot ions t hat you are f eeling.
Considering t he t wo ext reme ends of t his emot ional scale, you could ask yourself , Do I f eel powerf ul, or
do I f eel powerless? While you may not act ually be f eeling eit her one of t hese emot ions precisely, you will
be able t o t ell which way your emot ional st at e of being is leaning right now. So, in t his example, if your
answer is powerless, t hen short en t he range t hat you are considering, and ask yourself , Does it f eel more
like powerlessness or f rust rat ion? St ill more like powerlessness. Then short en t he range st ill f urt her. Does
t his f eel more like powerlessness or worry? As you cont inue (t here is no right or wrong approach t o t his),
event ually you will be able t o st at e wit h accuracy what you are really f eeling about t he sit uat ion you are
addressing.
Once you have f ound your place on t he emot ional scale, your work is t o t ry t o f ind t hought s t hat give you
a slight f eeling of relief f rom t he emot ion you are f eeling. A process of t alking out loud or writ ing down
your t hought s will give you t he best reading of t he way you are f eeling. As you make st at ement s wit h t he
deliberat e int ent ion of inducing an emot ion t hat gives you a slight f eeling of relief , you will begin t o
release resist ance, and you will be able t o move up t he vibrat ional scale t o a place of f eeling much
bet t er. Remember, an improved f eeling means a releasing of resist ance, and a releasing of resist ance
means a great er st at e of allowing what you really want .
So, using t he emot ional scale, and beginning wit h where you are, look at t he emot ion t hat is j ust about
where you believe you are, and t ry t o f ashion some words t hat lead you more int o a slight ly less resist ant
emot ional st at e of being.
For example, a woman f ound herself in a st at e of t remendous resist ance and pain because of t he deat h of
her f at her. Even t hough he had been seriously ill and his deat h was expect ed, when it happened she
f ound herself in t he deepest depression. She f elt powerless and grief st ricken in response t o her f ocus
upon t he uncont rollable deat h of her f at her.
During t he days bef ore her f at her’ s deat h, t his woman had barely lef t his side, but he slipped int o
unconsciousness during one of t he rare t imes when she was not wit h him, and he did not awaken again
bef ore he died. As she t hought about not being t here t o have j ust one last conversat ion, t remendous
t hought s of guilt washed t hrough her. And while she did not consciously recognize t he slight improvement
in t he way t he guilt f elt , it was a very import ant vibrat ional t ransit ion f or her. And t hen her t hought s
t urned t o a powerf ul anger. She f ocused upon t he woman who had been wit h her f at her when he had
slipped int o unconsciousness, and she f elt rage t hat t his woman had given her f at her such a st rong dose of
medicat ion (f or t he purpose of making him more comf ort able), and t hen she blamed t he woman f or
having deprived her of her last conversat ion wit h her f at her.
She did not realize it at t he t ime, but t he f eelings of guilt , rage, anger, and blame were each def init e
improvement s over her grief -st ricken vibrat ional st at e of resist ance. She did f eel bet t er in her blame—
much bet t er, in f act . At least she could breat he, and she was now able t o sleep.
Of course, it is always bet t er when you achieve t he improved st at e of emot ion deliberat ely. But even, as
in t his case, when t he improved emot ions were discovered nat urally and unconsciously, each
improvement now gives you access t o somet hing even more improved.
Once you f ind t he relief t hat anger and blame can of f er f rom t hose suf f ocat ing emot ions of powerlessness
and grief , you can move even more quickly up t he vibrat ional scale. And while it may even t ake a day or
t wo t o move up even one vibrat ional level, f rom (22) Grief ’ t o (21) Guilt t o (18) Revenge t o (17) Anger t o
(15) Blame, you can reclaim your connect ion t o your Source and t o your f eeling of empowerment in a
much short er t ime t han almost anyone realizes.
Here is an example of conscious st at ement s t hat t his woman could have of f ered t o improve t he way she
f elt :
I did everyt hing I could t hink of doing t o help my f at her, but it wasn’ t enough. (Grief )
I miss him so much. I can’ t st and him being gone. (Grief )
How will I be able t o soot he my mot her? (Despair)
Every morning when I awaken, t he f irst awareness t hat I have is t hat Daddy is gone. (Grief )
I shouldn’ t have gone home t o shower. (Guilt )
I should have st ayed right t here so I could have t old him good-bye. (Guilt )
I should have realized how close he was t o going. (Guilt )
I was t here day and night , day and night , and I st ill didn’ t get t o say good-bye. (Rage)
The woman who was wit h him knew very well what was happening. (Rage)
How would she like it if t he shoe was on t he ot her f oot and I put her f at her int o a coma? (Revenge)
She has seen many people die, and she should have warned me t hat it was close. (Anger)

Remember, you do not have access t o emot ions t hat are f ar f rom where you are current ly vibrat ing.
Alt hough you may spend an ent ire day beat ing t he drum of t he emot ion where you are, on t he next day,
t ry t o est ablish a dif f erent set -point even if it is only a slight improvement .
If t he negat ive emot ion you are f eeling is slight , you will quickly move up t he emot ional scale. If t he
negat ive emot ion you are f eeling has begun only recent ly, you will quickly move up t he emot ional scale.
If you are experiencing somet hing ext remely serious, or it is somet hing t hat you have been living wit h f or
many years, it is conceivable t hat you could spend 22 days moving up t his emot ional scale, each day
deliberat ely choosing t he improved emot ion j ust above t he one you are current ly f eeling. But 22 days
f rom Powerlessness t o Empowerment is not a long t ime at all when you compare it t o people you know
who have been in a st at e of Grief Insecurit y, or Powerlessness f or many years.
Now t hat you underst and t hat your goal is t o reach a bet t er-f eeling emot ion, it is our expect at ion t hat
t his process will f ree you f rom t roubling negat ive emot ions t hat you have been experiencing f or years.
And as you gent ly and gradually release t he resist ance you have unknowingly gat hered, you will begin t o
experience improvement s in your lif e experiences. . . in all t roubling areas of your lif e.
 One Last Thing

Abraham, Jerry and Est her Hicks began disclosing t heir amazing Abraham experience t o a handf ul of close
