1/26 Contents page i (although these pages aren't labled, these are their numbers!)
1/27 Contents page ii
1/28 Contents page iii
1/29 Contents page iv
1/30 Contents page v
End of Table of Contents. Let's have a blank page to pre-pave for February!
1/31 Page 240 in the Notes section (although also unlabled)
Let the appreciation begin!!!!

OK, I don't have the book yet ... it's still making its way to me, but I hopped onto this idea today, and wanted to share it!
Self-love is a big topic for me, and I'm excited to expand my self-love in 2010. While meditating today, this occurred to me:
Everyday, I want to take a self-love time-out for myself. We're always told to take the time to tell people that we love them, and I figure that could apply to me as well! It doesn't have to be something big, maybe just a phrase as I start meditation like, "I really like the feeling of loving myself."
 Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Me too Amber!!!
New Year's Day: p 175
I Love this sections title-
Appreciation, Your Key to the Vortex
I didn't realize how much I focused on the unwanted in my life until I began practicing appreciation. There are so many wonderful things that I overlooked because someone cut me off in traffic, or someone said something that was hurtful, and on and on. On that same day someone may have smiled and held the door open for me or I may have heard a baby laugh, but my focus would remain on the unwanted. I am so appreciative that these teachings came into my life and I am learning how to really LIVE!!
'...all that you see, is a precursor to that which is to come: a bouncing-off place to more joyous reality and more joyous becoming.' pg. 175
We are bouncing-off to more and more joy! It just doesn't get better than this!!

This first page made me ponder if other beings on other Galaxies also have teachings of Abe or other non-physical brought to them to explain, remind why they are in a physical. Or they all remember? Just curios

Sandra, thank you for getting us started on this chapter. I am feeling the enjoyment of this thread already.
I love the whole title of this chapter.
Self-Appreciation and the Law of Attraction: Appreciation, the "Magical" Key to Your Vortex
I have felt the whole book has been about this; Self-Appreciation. The earlier chapter's have been building to the greatest relationship we will ever have. The relationship between you and You!
Love your process Ez-pz. Whenever I look in a mirror, I tell myself something I appreciate about me. I find that the more I appreciate me, the more I appreciate and allow others to be who they are.
I love being in the world. I love knowing how far I have come. I love the contrast that I created to get me to where I am today. I love knowing that contrast is part of my life and I can find better and better ways of appreciating it. After all, I created it.
I am ready to bounce around with all of you! Happy New Year!

I love this study group Thanks Leslie  , for the schedule, and thanks Sandra , for getting us started.
I didn't have much time on the forum before and over Christmas and I just couldn't catch up with the 100mph parenting thread, but I enjoyed what I did read and am gonna go back and read it all sometime. So, anyway, I'm back in now - and really excited to be.
Coincidentally (yeah, right!), I set my intention at the end of last year to think well of myself "anyway" and unconditionally from this January 1st onwards. ...To appreciate myself. ...And to use appreciation as a regular filter for the world I have created around me.
But I do need a little help!
What does it really mean to appreciate me and who-I-really-am? What does that appreciation look like and sound like? (Without making it dependent on features of temporary physical reality. ...If that is even possible.)
Like Barbara said, this whole relationship topic is really about me and Me - about you and You. My experience of any relationship is really about how much I merge me with Me and see whoever it is I am looking at through those merged eyes. Otherwise, everything is uncomfortably out-of-focus. (Is there laser eye surgery for this?!!! )
page 175 "...there is more to the picture and more to the story of reality than what I am discovering with my physical senses here on my amazing planet ... a precursor to that which is to come." (Put in the first person by ...me)
So --- I am to appreciate the e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d me and the e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d you?
 How do I make 'that' feel concrete? ....I.e. 'That' which is to come, but which I already AM.
I am excited about discussing who and what we are appreciating when we appreciate ourselves.

"But the part that is most often misunderstood, or overlooked, by our human friends is that, in the living of physical life and in the launching of those rockets of desired expansion, it is not only an expanded world you are creating -- it is an expanded you."
In the Self Appreciation recording Abraham says "there is not a more important topic".
It should be easy to turn my creative energies toward my own glorious, exquisite, selfish ends but it is something that feels foreign yet familiar at the same time.
I greedily read this chapter in one sitting when I got the book so intend to enjoy savouring one delicious page per day with you all.

Best Chapter Evah! for the best year Evah! I am so excited for this chapter, i cannot stay on a page at a time!
( i feel like tigger here..lol)
Why is self-appreciation so important??
A preview of coming attractions....page page 179. (emphasis is mine)
The key to getting inside your Vibrational Vortex of Creation, of experiencing the absolute absence of resistance, of achieving complete alignment with all that you have become and all that you desire, and of bringing to your physical experience everything that you desire- is being in a state of appreciation.
And there is no more important object of attention to which you must flow your appreciation than that of self. The habit of thought, or belief, that holds most people outside of their Vortex of Creation, more than all other thoughts out together, is the lack of appreciation of self.
Wooohoo! What great info is this LoA stuff. BOPAs on self, everyone! Why wouldn't we? When we feel good about who we are, we love easier, we are kinder, we give the benefit of a doubt, we are generous, we are TITITO!
It is not the bitching and moaning we do about others as much as us not feeling good enough about ourselves. Self-doubt must go. We are good enough. Our value is beyond measure.
Okay back to the scheduled program...i could not help myself!

| Maybe an important part of embracing ourselves (as well as other people) is appreciating the value of the contrast that we might have been using as reasons not to love and appreciate ourselves.

yes YES YES!!
...So glad you didn't let a schedule hold you back from allowing your excitement and enthusiasm to flow, Evey. The best insights come from that place. What's it called? Oh yes, The Vortex!!!!!

Delightfully Delicious, thank you for starting the new thread!!! And Autumn, thanks for facilitating for the first time last year! (har har har) I mean the last thread! I was so tickled by Ocean Turquoise Blue's perception that the parenting thread was traveling at 100mph!
Nice to see you, OTB!
Ez-pz, I love your perception about Self-Love. It matches something I realized for myself yesterday:
If I really love myself, I don't care what anyone else thinks about me. And so I am free to love them, even if they disagree with me.
This is what I want. I'm jumping around with my intention for the year. I thought it was FUN, but, surprise surprise, I'm already pretty good at that!
Then I thought it would be VORTEX, which is an excellent one, of course, but not quite right. So now I think it is
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
Of course, Abe has mentioned that Love, TRUE Love, is always unconditional, but for me, this means loving myself and others without limits.
Ahh, that's where I'm at! Loving you all on the second day of the best year Evah! And Evey, I'm going to go meditate now!

Ditto on the BEST YEAR EVAH!!! Starting with the BEST Chapter Evah!!  the freedom of being a Tiger and leading us on. Thanks Evey and Sandra and all of you again and again. Welcome shiningsalsa
Joanne and nice to see some old faces showing up. I had to go backwards before going forward.
on page 175: It is an important dance that we dance with one another as we dialogue back and forth between physical perspectiive and Non-Physical perspective, because both perspectives are integral to the whole.
I love dancing  and I get how when you dance with another you have two parts that create a unique and dynamic whole with your own rythm and style. What dancers we are.
Pg 176 The story of the creation of you and your world is not a story of something that happened-but a stroy of something that is happening.
I am that creator and I realized as I did the exersice about thinking I was in 2011 and reviewing my 2010 year how limiting I am in my creation. Yikes. I realized how small my dreams were on the whole. I felt like oh this is enough, I am already asking for enough...I am deserving of it all, why do I limit when Source would have none of that. On with self-appreciation!
  Nancy

Oh, here's another thought I had the other day ...
Abe says that all of our contrast contributes to the expansion of the Universe. Each of us experiences unique contrast, and in doing so, we each "give back" to the Universe in our own way ... and this is what we intended when we came down here. Abe also states, that we never have to feel the obligation of "giving back" because we're already doing it just by living here.
SO ... drum roll ...
We actually matter.
Each of us actually matters to the Universe. We are, indeed, individually significant in Eyes of the Universe.
Sometimes, I try to impress people or myself with things I "do" because I'm still trying to prove to myself that I matter, that I actually am of service and contribute to society. I want somebody to take notice and tell the validate me.
But really, the Universe grows from my experiences, and that's validation enough. Now all that weight is lifted because when I believe that I matter to the grand scheme of things, it's so much easier to love myself.

Ez-pz! I was thrilled when I got that too! It made the whole issue of worthiness very clear to me. We are worthy no matter what we "accomplish" in our narrow human limited view of human accomplishments. Ha! What a revelation.
Doesn't frees us up completely? If we were to measure accomplisments, i would say, do so by your capacity to feel UTTER joy! You know if i had known this back then, I would probably have a few less college degrees or.... maybe just as many but my experience would have been to just ENJOY the classroom environment even MORE than I did. I loved school!
Back then I kept thinking, I will feel better about myself if I learn this, and If I am a good citizen and I earn A's and honors. And maybe then I will feel more worthy and achieve a feeling of security. Security used to elude me prior to Abraham. And if I take all that action, I will better my life and experience better things ---but nothing I ever DID was more powerful than re-remembering Who I Really Am! And now, when I join in the commitment for self appreciation...whooohoo, now I would like to JOIN that Graduate Program of LoA. Put me in th front row, early to class, last to go and earning extra credit!
Ha ha...yes I am a nerd! (i say this with affection of course!).
It feels good to feel good. And it feels GOOD to feel GOOD about Self! Now that is good! I think whenwe feel good about ourselves, the Universe and Faeries sing!
Have you ever given a very young child a sincere heart-felt compliment? They they beam and say I KNOW (because they *still* do)! And it makes you beam to hear it and feel it. That is where we are headed. Back when we knew!
Oh and the best part, we dont even have to be great allowers. We have worth just doing step 1. However step 3 is where the sweet spot is...!

Often, humans, in their humility, refuse to accept their important
role in the continuing expansion of All-That-Is, and that is
the reason why we are offering this book
If you had a precious best friend how would you talk to him?
Do you talk to yourself the same way?
If you had a soul mate lover how would you treat him?
Do you treat yourself the same way?
The way you treat yourself teachs others how to treat you.

So much wisdom from you wise Abers already, and it's only January 3rd! What an AWESOME year this is going to be!
Page 177: "We have written this book because we want to call your attention to the Vibrational Reality that you are in the process of creating. We want you to be aware of your Vortex of Creation; and most important of all, we want you to find a way, by the deliberate directing of your own conscious thought, to become a Vibrational Match to the contents of your swirling Vibrational Vortex of Creation,because every desire that has been born within you thus far,exists there, just as you have dreamed it to be, waiting for your alignment."
And that's what I am going to do this year - align with my Vibrational Reality - coz I have so many delicious things waiting for me there and I SO DESERVE THEM because I am already worthy and my IB is already living them!!!!
I adore my IB and my IB adores me, so we are going to have a love fest together, every day, for the rest of my life. How wonderful is that!!!
