It isn't necessary to leave where you are to get and feel what you want, but when you believe that someone else is holding all the strings and you seek freedom, then you have to get away from the string holders in order to find freedom, and sometimes it's a sort of rough ride. There is another way - you could perceive them as they really are, as irrelevant to the abundance that flows to you, and you could stay in the benefit of the momentum that they already have established.

Q: OK. Which I considered before I did what I did, but the place was a very negative place for me and...

A: We understand, but we still want to say to you (this is the basis of what's coming next) that sometimes people say to us “I'm having a negative time here at this work (or in this house or with this person), do you think I should leave?” And sometimes we can feel clearly that the path of least resistance is someplace else, but often we say if you are leaving this place because there is contrast or unwanted, then you better get out of town, too, and then out of this country, and off of this planet, and now we don't know where to send you because there's contrast within every particle of everything.

And so, we are not suggesting that you put up with things that you cannot stand to put up with, but we are wanting to say that the majority of contrast that you feel is about misunderstanding of where your true power comes.
And if you go from place to place because there's contrast, then you never really find your true power. You find your true power when you stand in contrast and understand it for the good thing that it is, for the value of desire that it gives birth to.

You could stand in any arena of contrast and give your undivided attention to the desire that the contrast provided, and the negative side of that contrasting environment would evaporate immediately, and it's beneficial side would be all that you see.
But humans have stuck in their vibrational craw that to be free you need to be away from everything you don't like.

The thing that is tricky about that is that in every particle of the Universe, and in every human that you will ever meet, there are things you want to see and things you don't want to see. And you have to figure out how to be the decipherer and the discerner, not the runner-away-er from everything that bothers you, because there is no place to go - until you croak, you could come here with us. And then we just come right back here with you. And we're not bothered by your crap. (Fun)

Q: Well... (Fun)

A: Something to think about. We were just giving this to you by way of letting you know that we're not going to assist you in arguing for any limitations. We're happy to talk to you about anything you want to talk about, though.

Q: Well, then let's talk about the second thing I would like to talk about.

A: If the first is resolved.

Q: Well, again, having been through contrast, I think it's like you said to the previous lady, it's better when you sit back there than when you are in the hotseat. When in the hotseat, you have the pressure. But I think I understood what you told her, and from what I understand now, contrast is always going to happen and it's just a matter of me and the perspective and how I...

A: Contrast is choices, and it feels to most people that contrast is somebody else doing something to you. And once you get it in your awareness that contrast is choice, then you're free, and then contrast serves you.

The Power of Influence

Q: I'm an actor as well, and the less I've thought about my actual career and more so about that every audition that I get is a little part of me, every opportunity that I get to explore character, that's whenever I was able to explore that and share more with the world.
Sometimes on a set a director is not maybe on the same vibrational path that I envision the character...

A: Well, then it's time for you to use your power of influence, and you're not doing it right now because you're being you instead of Inner-Being-like because you're observing that director not being that.
But if you were in the role that your Inner Being is, where your Inner Being would not see that director doing that, then that director would have to be that.
We're talking about your power of influence.

Q: What if you have that with the director, but when it comes to the editing room... (Fun)

Q&A: It's the same thing, it's the same thing.

A: In other words, you want to step back and take the big picture, and that the more experiences you have, then the more you put into your Vortex and the more specific requests that you make.
But imagine with us for a moment this feeling of everything - not some things - everything is working out for me.
Not saying my acting is superb but the directing isn't, and the editing is even worse, but saying everything is working out for me.
I have it all in my power of influence. And because I have it all, now first of all, I'm drawn to the projects that are most likely to give me that so my power of influence is easier to offer. But I always have that going on.

Esther said to a friend the other day who has landed this big opportunity, and is very, very excited about having landed it, but now is worried whether he is going to do a good job in it.
And Esther said "The fact that you got it is proof that you are it - it wouldn't have happened if you weren't ready for it.
So what's the second-guessing that you have going on about?"

And it's the same thing - you're controlling it all.
You're not a small actor with a small or large part in a bigger project, you are all of it; you are defining how you fit into all of it.
So the directors rise to what your Inner Being knows and the editors rise to it and the script writers rise to it and the plot deciders rise to it - everybody that's part of this has written it all for you.
You are the center of this Universe. You're not just plugging yourself into something else that's going on, it is responding to your influence.
To your influence.
This whole conversation this whole day has been about your influence.

And we so want you to hear us - we want you to feel your influence.
Your life caused you to create it, and oh, it's powerful.
And when you step into that, everything around you is powerful; everything falls into place.
When you let yourself be a cooperative component to what you've created, everything else has to fall into place.
You are the only thing that is ever not the cooperative component, because what's in your Vortex is always cooperative - so the editor is cooperative and the director is cooperative and the script is and the future success is - it's all cooperative, you just have to find a way to cooperate.
And the way you do that is by not sweating the small stuff and by not making big deals out of stuff and by trusting that the fact that you're there means that it is working.
And more and more you'll see things just falling in around you.

Sometimes when Esther in her vehicle and she's driving she can feel it.
She felt it yesterday when she was driving up - friends were in the car and they were talking about a lot of different things, but Esther could just feel that her wheels on the road felt so steady and so sure, and it was like everything in traffic and everything around was responding to her influence on the road.
And it's like that with everything you do - you set the vibrational trajectory and everything acquiesces to that.

And when you find yourself not knowing that, well, you've just stepped a little bit away from what your Inner Being knows.
But your Inner Being will never stop knowing it, and your Inner Being will never stop projecting it to you, presenting it to you.
So you just keep finding your way back to it and finding your way back to it.
And you do it by counting your blessings, by acknowledging how often it's working, by acknowledging how this part and this part and this part are perfect, by making lists of the things that are working.

"Me, here, now" - that's what Esther writes as she's getting ready.
“Me, here, now."
That's what she wrote this morning, "Me, here, now. Me, here, now."
She put it in the center of a circle, and then she wrote all of the other things that were here with her now; all of the other cooperative components that were here with her now.
You all, this beautiful space, all of these talented people with all of their contraptions and equipment, everything working in concert to me, here, now.
Powerful influence.

There is nothing that is apart from your ability to have it if you want it. And isn't it fun honing your skills, watching yourself get better, having fun along the way, not taking anything too seriously?
“Director, you don't have the power to mess this up.
You don't have the power to mess this up."

Enough?

Q: Ohhh, so enough! Thank you.

I Can Steadily Improve, Always

Q: I’m kind of embarrassed to ask this question, but what if, because of years of abuse and things like that, you feel you stay here because of guilt, and you don’t really believe in happiness or desires anymore?

A: Well, it’s all right, because it’s possible to not believe in something and still want it, and as long as you still want it, then you can gradually move yourself up that vibrational trail.
And we think that the reason that people under those conditions have a hard time making the movement up there is because they have tried to quantum leap and failed so many times. In other words, they have tried to reach beyond what Law of Attraction will let them find, and haven’t been able to do it.

We love coaching someone from depression into anger.
And much of the world would disagree with this, because they would rather that you be depressed than be angry, because when you’re depressed, you leave them alone, and when you’re angry, you’re in their face. (Fun)
But we love the feeling of life-giving release that comes in the control that you take back in your anger. And we want to say that all you’d have to do is stop there for a moment in your anger and say “I do feel better and I did do this on purpose - I reached for anger and I found it, and I feel better.”
In that small shift, you’ve regained some control in your experience.

Q: What if you don’t feel anger?
You feel like you understand why people do what they do because you understand where they come from?

A: Well then, maybe you’ve already moved further up your vibrational scale than you are giving yourself credit for.
In other words, if it’s not painful to you, it may not be as disempowering as the words might imply.

Q: But then, it’s like you don’t feel like, what’s the value in it, what’s it here for, what’s next, what’s the purpose of it, and it does have meaning?

A: We want to go back to what we said earlier: Nobody should be abused, and nobody needs to be abused in order to have growth. If someone sits in this chair, or any chair, but even in a chair in a room like this, and talks about some terrible thing that happened that then they overcame, the audience stands on its feet with applause. There’s just something you all like about digging a hole and crawling out of it. And we’re not too keen on encouraging you to get yourself into trouble so that you can enjoy the relief of getting yourself out of trouble. And we don’t think that anybody does that deliberately, anyway.

But it is our promise that anyone, no matter where they are, can make steady improvement in the way they feel simply from being determined to feel better and better and better and better.
And in time, you will have moved so far vibrationally from whatever that was that it will be hard for you to remember it.
You just won’t relate to it at all.

We have enjoyed this interaction immensely. It is wonderful to come together with those like you who are coming more and more in every day to understand who You are. We really make far too much of this. It’s appropriate that you want to feel good and it’s normal that you do feel good, but it isn’t wrong when you don’t feel good.
Just continue to want to feel good, and let that be your dominant quest. And don’t try to compare how good you feel with how good anybody else feels.
Let how good you feel be only important as it relates to how good you have felt.

We want you to know that the releasing of resistance is the finding of relief, and that it is possible to find relief in every emotion.
There is relief in anger from that feeling of despair, and there is relief in frustration from anger, and there is relief in hoping from doubting, and there is relief in knowing from believing.
There is relief in joy and passion and ecstasy.
And we want you to know that you will never achieve a state of emotion from which there is not more potential relief.

There is no limit to how good we can become or how good we can feel.
So just keep reaching for what feels good, and don’t compare yourself to how good anybody else feels.
And don’t try to guide yourself from the outside in. Instead, make a determination that you’re going to start guiding yourself from the inside out.
And most of all, lighten up and be easy about it.

We want you to approach this life in exactly the way you intended as you came forth:
It’s a creative vacation in which you intended to have a really good time. It’s not an assigned project where you are supposed to do something, it’s a creative adventure.
And you get to decide every moment of the creation.

We love watching you, and we love it when you allow yourself to feel the fullness of that which we are.
You cannot diminish our experience by choosing a vibration that doesn’t allow you to feel us, because we are a part of your experience whether you know it or not.
So, don’t do it for us…do it for you. You are supposed to feel good.
And when you do, you’re having a successful moment.

There is great love here for you.
And for now, we are complete.

Q: A passion of mine is film making and storytelling, and for seven years I've...

A: Because?

Q: Because that's who we are. This is a story-based Universe, right? The ancient Greeks knew this, and the fact that we went there and kind of saw their stories in relation to ours...I don't know, there's this powerful, powerful energy associated with storytelling.

A: Well, you understand that by telling a story that you believe, it's no longer fiction - it becomes reality. So are you wanting to tell stories that you want to become reality?

Q: Yeah. For me at an early age, the first film that I saw was the first time that I really felt connected to Source. It was just a download of awe and wonder and serendipity - all these, you know, positive energies just rushing through you, and there's no greater feeling than that.

A: Especially today with all of the technology and possibilities. There are few limitations to having a vision and being able to portray it in a way that others can see it. It represents the ultimate in creativity because, with all these hours that we spend together, we're talking about how life causes you to form a vision that sometimes you can't even get a clear picture of, but as the vision that you've put together begins to take shape, and these thoughts turn themselves to things, where they come out where others can see them, that's the deliciousness of being in this time and space, that what you've gathered up can become a reality that others can see.

And this film making represents that better than anything else that you could point to, in that you can conjure the vision from start to finish, which means including all of the movement that you wish for in those who see your film, and then you can create something that then accomplishes that movement. It's like you're creating a film in order to satisfy creating the film, but in the creation of the film, you satisfy that other intention to create, which is to help people see what you see.

Q: Right. It's been a practice of, you know, Esther calls it the magic. And for me, the magician architect is very prevalent in this kind of art - you're kind of a dream weaver, you're kind of bringing all of these kind of cooperative components together - audio, lighting, dialogue and stuff like that.

A: We didn't quite get it out there in the way that we really want you to hear it. Everyone is making a movie, and all of them - everyone - if they come to understand the way the Universe works and what their Guidance System is telling them, can create the movie; the outcome will come out where they can experience it. And so, within that understanding, now you are wanting to replicate the way the Universe works by getting a vision and attracting all of the cooperative components so that it can come out where others can see it. So it's like a shortcut. Most movie makers sort of squander the most important part of that, which is the demonstration of how the entire Universe works. Making a movie can be a literal demonstration of the way the entire Universe works.

Think about that - you have some ideas, you've been gathering them for a while, they're in your Vortex, they've been spinning around, you're tuned-in, tapped-in to your Inner Being, you're high on life, you feel really good, you get inspiration (which is your glimpse of what you have going on in there), other cooperative components come, you have a glorious time, just a great time having so much fun and pleasure and joy and love with the people that come and play with you, so that it's a life-giving experience. And then at the end of all of that, you spit something out which represents all of those harmonics.

And most who watch it have no idea of the importance of the creation that they're watching - they just go, tuned-in or not tuned-in, in alignment or not in alignment; they're doing some of all of that. But really, it's irrelevant what anybody else thinks about it - only the joy that you have in the process of it is relevant. And if you really have a good time, so many will like it because they're all looking for an understanding of what you're going to need to understand in order to do it.

Q: The theme - I've been searching for a theme, something to explore. And for me the idea of the Apocalypse or a Judgment Day - if you look at...

A: "I make my movie like I make my life."

Q: Well, here's the thing: If you look at the stories from across our culture, everyone is fascinated with the end of times, right? And for me it's not so much that they're going to end, but it's the end of a cycle of oppression, and, you know, it's...

A: We would only go along with you on that as long as at the end, instead of it saying The End, it says The Beginning.

Q: Exactly. So I wanted to see if you can kind of...we can coax something, some sort of how to deal with judgment, right? This idea of Judgment Day, like we're being judged. I think that if you look nowadays throughout the world, people left and right - you call them clumps, you know, your sexual orientation, your gender, your ethnicity - there are always people who are judging you. So I would like to explore that theme in a way that the Universe can just kind of flow and actually reveal.

A: Well, you don't want to take judgment out of the equation because Step 1 involves variety and choices. So, maybe rather than calling it judgment, call it choices. What you're really talking about is Step-5-ing your way through life.

Q: So, I've worked with kids who feel judged and oppressed. What would be the best Hero's Journey to take that character to show them that they're not, that they are the creator of their own reality? Like, what would be, from Abraham's perspective, the best journey?

A: All we will say about this, because lots of ideas will flow, and when you hit upon what is viable for you, you will know it. But these are the words that, if we were standing in your physical shoes, we would be offering to ourselves on a really regular basis: “I want this film to be vibrationally accurate.” Because, if it is in every part of it - not just in the way you approach it, and not just in the way you choose the cooperative components who will play with you, but in the writing of the story… There are so many films that get down the road and present something that isn't vibrationally accurate. In fact, almost all films are that way, and so no one gets any real sense of how anything really works.

So just decide that the characters in your film will have some awareness of their own Guidance System, that they will be making deliberate choices that then represent the way their story line goes. And it doesn't matter which way the story line goes as along as early on in the film the person who is watching it understands that each character is writing his own part, and that the way it unfolds must be vibrationally accurate to the way this character has been shown to feel.

Q: That's enough.

A: It is, isn't it.

Q: It is.

A: Oh, what fun you will have.

Question:
What is going on with Taylor Swift?
She is like the most connected human being on the planet.
Her writing process is so inspired.
She gets inspired.
She wakes up at 4:00 am in the morning.
She does voice notes in her phone.
She writes songs…really, really sad songs that make everybody happy.
And then she was on this tour…I was fortunate enough I manifested being there and I am changed.
I am changed from being at that experience.
What’s going on?

Abraham: It’s a long story.
First she is primarily tuned in, tapped in, turned on.
She discovered that when she was reaching to write.
Next she got beat up by the public enough to know she didn’t like that.
So she detached from that.
She said “Shake it off.
Just shake it off”.
Next and this is a really important thing…
So this law of attraction thing we have been talking to you about, when you get hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of people expecting positively about you …there’s a calling.

That’s the thing Esther realized when she got on the cruise ship stage after feeling so very uncomfortable…she realized that the expectation of those people in the audience of what they are going to receive from Abraham was a big part of what was happening.

Then she realized that’s what’s always been happening.

She realized that that’s what makes this the easiest thing in the world for her.

It’s that, she’s in that neutral place.

You are doing the asking, you see.

So that’s why we continue to explain to you that you are all that if you want to be…your Vortex, the non-physicals, those who have known you and loved, your dearly not-so-departed, every idea that you had.

In other words, there’s a combination of vibrational calling that unless you are in a state of resistance, it’s just calling through you…your power and your clarity and your knowing and your wellness and and, and, and, that’s just how it works.

The better it gets the better it gets.
The better it gets the better it gets.

The better it get the better it gets….. and sometimes something going horribly wrong or seeming so causes it to get better yet, because your asking gets focused and pointed.

You ask in a stronger way with a new vantage point.

Question: Which is what she did when things were right for her. But I am trying to make the connection between the fact that she writes sad songs that are so beautiful but they make people happy.

Abraham:
Soothing is solving, isn’t it?
So she’s soothing by writing. Because she’s not blaming them.
She’s not saying - Get up you lil dummy.
She’s saying sometimes that’s what life is and sometimes it doesn’t feel so good.
Letting it be what it bes and not getting to that place of condemnation about it.

You cannot get to a better place when you are mad at yourself about where you are.

It’s just impossible.

You just can’t get to a better place if you are blaming yourself or someone else

Question: So her process of writing it out and creating this work of art is the way of being ok with, and allowing herself to flow.

Abraham:
One of the things that happens, it happens with Esther in a situation like this….Performers; it happens often.
It happens for all kinds of reasons with all kinds of people.

But when you discover that flow, it is intoxicating.

It’s like you just don’t want anything else.

And so Taylor Swift is not depriving herself of some other kind of life while she gives herself to the world in that way.

That is life on steroids.

Won Lottery Without a Ticket

Q: Thank you, Abraham.
I’ve been listening to your tapes for about four years, and this is the first time I’ve ever come to see you.
I just want to say I watched one Charlie Rose show in the last ten years and it was the one with Phish. With everything you’ve been saying, I came here with lists of questions, and I’ve had these questions for two years, and they’re gone now.

A: But there will be more.

Q: Oh, well, I just want to share one incredible thing that happened. When I first heard the Abraham material, I just felt like, oh, this is the truth I’ve been waiting for;
I love this.
And I needed $30,000, so I said to the Universe I want $30,000.
And I said, and I want it to come in a way that doesn’t hurt anybody.
I don’t want someone to die.
And I said…

A: You’ll get over that in time. (Fun)

Q: Well, at the time, I had that choice, and that was the requirement.
I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, I’m saying what was my requirement. And I said, and I want it to come in a way that it makes me laugh, and I want it to come in a way that is so ridiculous that I will always know that Law of Attraction is powerful and works. Well…

A: So you were not only satisfying the desire for the $30,000, but you were satisfying the desire to discover that Law of Attraction worked, and that you had the power to apply it?

Q: I felt really clear that it was going to work, so I guess I was, also.
So, I started to do what you said, and pretty soon it was like I had moved into a reality in which I was going to get $30,000.
Well, I’d get so excited - I’d drive down the street and I’d think, I wonder if there’s an armored car, and maybe it’s going to toss, like, $30,000 out at me.
And then I’d be walking around and I’d say maybe there’s a diamond ring somewhere. I got to the point where I didn’t have a doubt that I was going to have $30,000.

A: And you were beating the drum of expectation; you were bringing yourself, little by little, into more and more plausible expectation.
Yes.

Q: Yeah.
And it was so much fun!
And finally I wanted to add one more thing - let me think.
Oh, I went out shopping one day, and I was buying all these dresses, and suddenly I had this little thought - you don’t have any money.
And then I thought, well that doesn’t matter because I’m getting $30,000.

And you know the end of the story - a dear, dear friend of mine, somebody I love, said that they were going to come up and see me.
And I hadn’t seen this person in maybe ten years, something like that.
And I, you know, I was just happy to see my friend.
And this friend, as far as I knew, was not wealthy.
And the friend came up (and we go way back), and the friend came up and said “Well, I just won the lottery.”
And I said “Good, can I get my $30,000?”
And my friend said “Yes!”
And I got my $30,000.

See, here’s the thing.
We would go out to breakfast afterwards, and I’d say to my friend “You just won the lottery!”
And we’d laugh.
We’d sit there; we’d fall over laughing.
We’d be like holding our stomachs, we were laughing.
And that was my condition - it had to make me laugh.
And I was there laughing and saying “This is my condition.”

A: And so now, are you understanding that you can open the Vortex in a very wide way?
In other words, are you at the place now where, because you’re no longer trying to prove that it works, that you can just say to the Universe I would like this, please, and bring it to me any time, in any comfortable way that you see fit?
When a lot of things that you’ve been wanting converge, you feel an impulse that wild horses can’t keep you from.
But meanwhile, you just have to keep yourself vibrationally happy so that you have some reasonable access to keep adding to the pot.

It’s like here you are, this collector of data, and you like that, and you like that, and you don’t like that, which makes you know you like that.
And you like that, and you like that, and you don’t like that, which makes you know that you like that.
So you’re adding, in terms of preferences, little by little by little. But we don’t mean to make it sound little, it’s a lot; you are adding hugely to the data base of your future experience.
And all of you are doing that.
This workshop is about one thing only, you finding a way to become a vibrational match to what you’ve launched out there that is yours to be had if you’d just relax and start trusting that wellbeing’s supposed to come to you.

So we go through all kinds of antics; we come up with endless processes.
We try to convince you in endless ways that you are deserving of good things, but it’s not good things that somebody else has assigned to you, it’s not things that were predetermined, even before you got here, it’s good things that you have set into motion from the data that you’ve been collecting along this physical trail.
So, when you’ve gathered boxes of data, of things that you’ve found interesting and good feeling when you gathered them, your future experience is so full of so many possibilities.

And here’s the thing that we wanted to say to you earlier but you couldn’t have heard, but now you can:
The Universe knows the perfect timing of all of those things, and will find, through the crack of least resistance, the best way to deliver it to you.
And you know what?
That $30,000 was on its way to you one way or another, and it didn’t have to be only one $30,000 - there are $30,000, $30,000, $30,000, $30,000 lined up over and over and over and over and over again.
In other words, they can continue to flow into your experience.

Sometimes people worry that they got to the dock and they missed their boat.
And we say there is always another one - there are always, in your immediate vicinity, not fewer than twenty very real probabilities, of not fewer than twenty very real probabilities of opening to give you what you want.
But you have to get in vibrational proximity of it.
And so somebody like you, who is willing to continue to dream, even while manifestations that you’ve formerly dreamed for have not come to fruition, you have the magic formula.

As you keep dreaming, as you keep wanting, as you keep adding stuff to the pile, and more importantly, as you keep using your dreams as your reason to feel good in the now, good stuff just avalanches into your experience, until people all around you are saying “Who anointed you king? (Fun)
How is it that these good things happen to you?”
And you say “I’m deserving of them. I’ve brought myself into vibrational alignment with them, and they show themselves to me in every possible way.
With every corner I turn, there’s something else that surprises and delights me, and that’s the way it is supposed to be.”

But with those of you who have decided that you have to earn it, you’re in a whole different vibrational place; with those of you who are angry at other people who are receiving good fortune, you’re in a whole different vibrational place. In other words, you’re wanting to move into the vibration of expecting good things to come to you.
And that’s why this emotional journey that we’ve been selling with everything that we have here today is so important.
Yes.

Q: Thank you.

A: Yes, yes, indeed.
