There is no physical reality outside of you.
The outer world is TOTALLY an illusion. It’s not real. What’s real is the EXPERIENCE you’re having and the experience you have in physical reality is directly related to your thoughts, beliefs, and frequency of vibration.
There is no physical reality outside of you.
There is no physical reality outside of you.
THERE IS NO PHYSICAL REALITY OUTSIDE OF YOU.
Let this sink in. There is no physical reality outside of you!
At all!!
What you are seeing outside of you is a projection of your vibrational state, a reflection of your deepest thoughts and beliefs.
What happens out in the world DOES NOT MATTER. That is, it does not determine who you are, nor does it control your state of being. In fact, the reverse is true. It is your vibrational state, determined by your thoughts and beliefs, which determines how you experience physical reality. It is your state of being that determines what matters, what materializes for you in physical reality.

Whatever you’re thinking about is literally like planning a future event. When you’re worrying, you are planning. When you’re appreciating you are planning… What are you planning?
It is no coincidence that in our language, appreciation also has to do with an increasing quantity of money!
Would you like to experience financial abundance? Are you ready to appreciate money even more, in more ways than one?
Here is a rampage of appreciation about money by Abraham-Hicks. Feel free to save this, print it off, and repeat it regularly with passion and enthusiasm to continue to raise your vibration around money.
I’m doing very well in my life. I’m happy to be in this body. I’m glad I came. I like life on planet earth at this time. I’m appreciative of the environment in which I live. I like the abundance that surrounds me. I like the platform of wellbeing from which I get to choose. I’m sorting all of this out. I’m realizing that there’s not a rightness or a wrongness in having money or not having money, it’s just a preference that people are aligning with or not. And I like coming into vibrational alignment with my preferences about money.
What is it about having money that I like? I like the freedom that it allows me. I like the context of choices that it provides. I like the arenas that it opens to me. I like the feeling of expansiveness that it gives me. I like having all of those choices. And I adore the idea of having the flexibility to be and do and have more of those things.
I love this planet. I love the idea of exploring it. I love tasting the finest aspects of it and I love getting to choose what those are. I love this benevolent universe. I can feel that my source is calling me toward this abundance. And I can feel when I go, and I can feel when I don’t. And all of that’s alright. It’s not wrong to have dollars or right to have dollars. It just feels one way to align with my own desires, and it feels another way not to align with my own desires. It’s only about that.
I’m not making a statement to the world about what they should do about dollars. I’m not condemning people who have them, or criticizing people that don’t have them. This is only about ME and my gap relative to this subject. And I can feel that my life has caused me to put some things in vibrational escrow that I’ve been holding myself apart from. But now I know what I’m doing. And things are coming in. And I’m getting the hang of this and I’m doing rather well at it. And I can feel the influx of energy. I can feel that my stream is calling and I can feel that I’m more willingly going with it. And I can feel that on many subjects I’ve let go of the oars. I can feel that I’m coming into alignment. I have seen the evidence of my improved vibration in many different aspects of my life. I have seen the improved vibration of my being in the aspect of money in my life. I know I’m understanding this. And I think I’m making too much of all of this. I’m happy that I understand it. I’m going to look for more reasons to feel good. And I’m going to enjoy watching the abundance flow to me.
I’m hoping to see more evidence of the abundance flowing, and I’m believing that I will. In fact I have already seen some of it. This is going to be fun. Nothing’s gone wrong here. Everything’s right on track. I’m doing just fine. I’m happy where I am. I’m pleased with what I know. I’m happy to apply what I know. I can’t get it wrong. I never get it done. Isn’t life fun?! Don’t you love money?! Don’t you love money flowing?! Isn’t this a wonderful world?!”

Abraham-Hicks, San Francisco, CA, 2-24-07
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 …
Question:
Dear Ariel,
I had a realization while reading Ask and it is Given and the first book in Conversations with God for the first time – I had been focusing on lack! I had been focusing on what I didn’t have, and trying to ‘solve’ it through spirituality, etc. No wonder I wasn’t getting the job I wanted or the success with women I wanted! Duh!
So, I’ve started reframing myself, and *knowing* it’ll happen. And you know what? I got a call from a friend, saying the place he works at is hiring. A girl opened *me* tonight (she looks like a fun one too). I can see thing manifesting, and I know that God will give me everything I desire in time.
My question is – what can I do to remove resistance and make things manifest even *quicker*? Understand, since I was a fundamentalist Christian I had all the exact WRONG frames at one point – “You are a sinner”, “Sex is sinful”, “You shouldn’t want money for what you do” etc. I’m still finding these things. It’s like rolling around in the sand at the beach. I’ve got em’ hidden in places I didn’t even know I had.
Is it good to completely ignore that this part of my life ever happened? Just forget it and watch it un-manifest? Should I go through frame by frame reframing myself? How can I *know* what I don’t see (the age old question of faith)?
The other problem is that these things will start to manifest, and in the past, I’d worry about losing them or screwing them up – so of course they’d magically die in transit. (Wonder why? *laughs*) What can I do to trust the full process?
B.

You’ve brought up some excellent questions regarding the manifestation and what is commonly called The Law of Attraction. Let’s break down exactly what you did, what worked, what didn’t, and what can be done to make your manifestations more effective, to take you to the next level.
First and foremost, by changing your focus from what you are lacking to what you are now choosing, you brought yourself into vibrational alignment with what you do want. Thus, you began attracting the new job and the new girl and because the universe is set up in such a way that it acts like a mirror for your own internal state, your external world produced a reflection of your internal thoughts. It always does.
Perfect. Manifestation includes 3 stages and you’ve successfully completed the first two. The third and final stage needs some adjustment given that you want to completely manifest these new things.
What are the 3 stages in manifestation? As taught in the popular movie The Secret, they are as follows: Read More …
In the Law of Attraction, they talk about how you need to choose what you want without actually needing it to happen. Set an intention, but have no expectations.
It sounds a bit paradoxical, so let’s explain.
Intention is a clear FOCUS on the desire, feeling it, living it, breathing it, tasting it, experiencing it in the moment, Now.
Intention is about CLARITY, not the desire to control, manipulate, force, push, or pull. It’s about the vision, plain and simple.
When you need something to happen, it may seem as though you’re focusing on what you want, but if you look closely at how you’re feeling, you’ll notice there’s an underlying feeling of lack that the need is trying to fulfill. THAT is what the Universe will respond to: the core feeling.
What’s necessary is to develop the Trust that the Universe knows HOW to best structure a harmonious and joyous life.
Here is a powerful intention:
I am the manifestation of the best for all concerned.
The secret to manifestation is not so much that you need a particular thing to happen, but that you are willing to allow whatever needs to happen to happen without having to think about it or order it, knowing that you have already determined that whatever ultimately happens will be the best for all concerned.
This state of allowing operates at a higher level than trying to micromanage your entire life.
There is a complete and total allowance for the universe to manifest as it sees fit, without trying to control or resist the experience in any way.
Whatever the universe reflects back to you will be represetative of your highest vibration of joy because that’s who you are.
How do you deal with your personal wants and desires? Do you go out and seek to accomplish them? Do you feel that you can’t do it or are unworthy and give up? Do you try to get someone else to do things for you? Do you expect God to do it make things happen for you? Do you try and deny your wants? Do you pray? Do you mainly use the Law of Attraction? There are many, many effective strategies for handling our numerous desires. Pause for a moment and reflect on which methods have you used in your own life and which ones have been most effective in the end.
Let’s take a look at wants and desires themselves and explore yet another way to respond to them.
Why does getting what we want feel good?
Now, we all want things in life and when we finally get the shiny new things, we feel great.
We believe that we feel so good because we’ve satisfied the want and fulfilled an inner need. However, this is actually a mistaken understanding.
The reason we feel good after getting something we wanted is that we are now no longer wanting!
Have you noticed that? For a period of time after we get what we want, we rest in the state of being totally okay, of being fulfilled and not wanting anything.
It is this state of not wanting anything (which is our natural state) that is ACTUALLY what feels really good. Our true nature is amazing!
In a sense, the ego is like our emotional gatekeeper. The feelings that we get upon satisfying our wants become consciously present within our awareness. In the same way that the silence does not exist only in the space between two thoughts and that silence always present, the good feelings that we experience by getting what we want are also always available. They already exist within us. In fact, they only lie within us.
Happiness can never truly come from outside of us and the universe does a great job of teaching us this.
Think back to a time when you really really wanted something and eventually got it. Hooray!! Yippee!! How long did the good feelings last? A few minutes? A few hours? Days? Perhaps a whole week even? How long did they last in your personal experience?
If that thing is really what made you happy, then as long as you always hold onto that thing, you should always be happy, right? After all, it’s what makes you happy! You should be set for life! Read More …
So what’s the difference, first off, between the way people have traditionally operated in the world and the way they can now operate by using the Law of Attraction?
The normal way people got what they want was they went out, earned some money, and bought stuff using cash to ultimately find out that what they bought wouldn’t bring them happiness.
The new “spiritual” way of operating is to work in alignment with the Universe. They learn how the Law of Attraction works and get really good at it in order to manifest what they want, yet they still find out that getting what they want by manifesting it won’t make them happy.
It doesn’t matter whether they manifest it through the universe or they use more traditional methods, they still wind up with the end result of trying to get and experience what they want. Why else would they deliberately want to go and manifest something?
If you’ve noticed, no enlightened guru teaches the Law of Attraction. Why is this? The teachings on enlightenment are designed to help point you to the realization that none of that actually matters since it’s all an illusion anyways. The focus is Oneness and the realization of your true Self. When the realization comes that what “you” truly are is All That Is, it just plain silly to try and “get” more of yourself anyways. Instead it becomes yet another way to experience more of yourself and become aware of more of yourself, as opposed to trying to get something separate from yourself.
Now that’s not to say that the LoA is somehow “bad” and should be rejected. Not at all! It certainly has its practical uses such as manifesting parking spots, but there’s the realization that whether or not you get the ideal parking spot (or anything else for that matter), it’s not going to make you happy. If you have to park in the back of the lot, so what?
The LoA is simply a tool we can use to play around with in this world, just like a car or a popsicle stick.
Now something that’s really cool is when you start aligning with your true Self, your whole life starts to become synchronistic automatically. It’s like you hop right into the flow and go right with the rhythm of life at just the perfect pace. Things manifest exactly when they need to without you actually having to do anything deliberately, yet you become extremely clear about the relationship between thought and experiential reality. You just be yourSelf and everything you need will be provided.
“Seek first the kingdom of God and all else will be added unto you.”
This is the meaning of that statement.
If you want to play with the LoA, feel free. You are welcome to do anything you wish with the free will that “you” have in this lifetime. Just don’t try to make yourself happy through it. Similarly, don’t expect it to make you enlightened.
The LoA may help you see that there’s more to life than just the physical, and in this sense, it may be helpful in assisting you in seeing beyond the physical.
The LoA is about seeing things the way you want them to be and believing them to be truth. Enlightenment is simply seeing things as they truly are without any added mentation in the first place.
Eventually you may find yourself no longer all that interested in manifesting anything in particular because simply being is more than enough. Creation still happens, of course, but you become more of the flow of life itself as opposed to an individual trying to manifest a particular experience. As the saying goes, it’s the drop realizing it is the entire ocean.
