Recently I’d posted about some repressed sadness that had been rising up to the surface within me to finally be released.
Last week I decided to simply quit spinning it around in my mind and emotional center and to simply go within and meditate. In meditation, I did a few main things:
- Withdraw attention, energy, and interest from thought and emotion
- Return awareness back to awareness itself
- Surrender away all else without resistance
The key is not to try and fix ANYTHING, but to literally sit as the Self (conscious awareness itself), and allow everything else to fall away by offering it no resistance.
This may sound like it’s not accomplishing anything, as if no problems are being adequately dealt with, but believe me, this will impact you on an entirely different level…
There’s this idea that surrender means giving up, waving a white flag, and proclaiming our own weakness and sense of inability to accomplish our goals. This is NOT what is meant here. By surrender, I am simply saying to fully allow things to be the way they are and to let go of resistance. Be fully open without closing down.
After maybe 20-25 minutes of sitting in meditation, something amazing opened up and I realized a deeper part of my being, of who I truly am.
Beneath this idea of a little “me” and all the emotions and thoughts and stories it conjures up, there’s this infinitely more amazing world. Read More …
So I went to an Abraham-Hicks workshop this weekend and had the wonderful opportunity of listening to Abraham speak about the Law of Attraction. It clicks on an entirely new level when you hear it straight from the Source (pun intended). With that, let’s break down exactly how the Law of Attraction works right from the basics.
The Nature of Physical Reality
This physical reality is designed as a place for you to experience more and more of yourself, to remember who you really are.
Before we’re born, we are purely one with Source (aka God) and know everything, yet when we are born, we forget who we are and on some level, separate ourselves into several parts in order to experience the joy of realizing who we truly are once again.
When we feel bad, it is because we are separating ourselves from ourselves, pinching off our physical selves from our non-physical selves, resiting things such as Love of Freedom, both of which are qualities of our true selves. When we are feeling good, it is because the parts of us are all in vibrational alignment together.
Everything in the universe is vibration. Everything everything everything including your body, desires, thoughts, experiences, and so on.
Desires
While here in this physical experience, you are constantly creating new desires, called rockets of desire, for they shoot out of your mind and into another non-physical vibrational reality where the desires have already been fulfilled. What you ask for has already been given, just in another new reality. The key is to get from “here” to “there.”
With every experience we are having on earth, we are experiencing a contrast between experiences that make us feel good and experiences that make us feel bad. So we are constantly saying to ourselves, “Ooh, that feels good. I’d like more of that.” or “Yuck, this isn’t so fun. I don’t want to experience this anymore. hmm, I’d rather experience that instead.”
All of these desires pool together in a non-physical reality where you already exist, a reality some have called the Unmanifest. Everything you have ever asked for, be it money, success, relationships, cars, and whatever else, all exist in a temporary non-physical holding place Abraham calls the vibrational escrow.
So your job isn’t to make all your dreams happen and figure out HOW all your desires are going to manifest. No no.
The main thing for you to do is to bring your manifest physical self, the “you” you traditionally think of as yourself, into alignment with this vortex of non-physical vibrational escrow and from this place, all that you desire will manifest to you through you within this energetic vortex. Your job is simply to bring yourself into vibrational alignment with this space and to allow the manifestations to occur in your reality, to let it all in. Read More …
Today I attended an Abraham-Hicks workshop here in Atlanta with close to a thousand other people.
Here on this blog I’ve been periodically discussing the differences between the pathway of enlightenment and the methodology involved using the law of attraction, but there’s still been some nagging uncertainties that I’ve wanted to address, so I formulated a question I wanted to ask Abraham about enlightenment, about how thought fits in within the synchronistic and spontaneous unfoldment of Creation.
I went in somehow knowing that the question would be answered. Nevertheless, I still tried to intend my way into making it happen the night before using the LoA techniques, but it felt silly trying to nudge the system into doing something I already knew would unfold perfectly in its appropriate time…
The Workshop Begins
So we get there and Jerry gets up first to do the welcome and introductions and then Esther comes up on stage. As soon as she did, she said ‘goodbye’ and began channeling Abraham the same way you’ll see in their youtube videos.
It was cool to see the shift in person. There was a very definite and tangible shift in energy and demeanor. Esther is very playful and yin while Abraham is more deliberate and solid.
(Abraham is really a ‘they’, a collection of non-physical beings of Source energy, but Abraham speaks through the body of Esther and for the sake of convenience and discussion, I’m going to refer to Abraham as ‘she’ since they were working through Esther’s body.)
Abraham spoke for a little while as the workshop began and then started asking for volunteers. It wasn’t so much a structured workshop that follows a preset plan, but rather a series of Q&A’s that drive the discussion. Many of the youtube clips are literally questions taken from workshops.
I didn’t really feel ready when the first question was opened, so I just let go.
When that conversation finished, Abraham opened the floor for another person to come up. Within the sea of hands, I raised my hand and casually sat back in my chair. Much to my shock, I got laser targeted by Abraham to come on up. I was pretty taken aback, like when you casually scratch off a standard lottery ticket and suddenly realize you’ve just won a bunch of money. 
So I head up and have a seat in the hot seat directly in front of Esther as the assistant aligns the mic stand in front of my face and whoa, Esther is much bigger in person than on a little youtube window. 
She’s not a particularly huge person, but she’s up on stage and just a few feet in front of you, just radiating this silent love and powerful presence. It was intense and almost surreal. Read More …
