Here's mine (much more shallow I'm afraid!): I'm curious about Abraham's response to "how far" we can go with changing our bodies. There was a lot of discussion on this board after Abraham said we could grow back an arm or a tooth - we don't because we don't believe it's possible.
So - if we believe - are there any limits to healing, improving, sculpting, creating the body we want? Can we do plastic surgery with our minds? Can we change our appearence? Can we tighten skin? Make boobs perky? Grow back a missing bone?
I feel like we're ready to take Abraham's "grow back an arm" comment to the next level...
Elle,you shallow girl,you're reading my mind! I'm very interested in that.Can we change bones?Like in our nose,or make our hips slimmer or wider (*cough* I want larger curves),and can we change our facial bone structure,just like that,for fun!Grow a missing tooth?OOh,I can't wait!

Also, how would like to have super powers like the girls on the old tv show "Charmed". Things like teleportation, freezing things in place (like when you hit pause on the vcr), moving things telekenetically, etc. How can I gbet me some of those fun powers? Are there any people on Earth that currently have powers like those?
And if you do know everything, what are the winning lottery numbers in my local lottery this week?
*Raises hand*
Me,me,me!I find teleportation fascinating!And telekhynesis too!

I see in my imagination the CD with each of these questions on it as if it were session or two, and how wonderfully leading edge it would be to listen to. I imagine us looking at notes with answers from Abraham to these questions. In this CD there are questions we are asking we haven't even posted on the forum. When I read the notes, I feel excited and an 'aha' feeling settles in as I get understanding on so many things. It is exciting that others are getting answers and stuff finally comes together for them too.
 Ask and it is Given
(Thanks Tara for starting the thread and have a wonderful time on the cruise!)

Hi Tara
I have a burning question. I dont know, if I'm able to express it in English. But I will try.
Abraham says that all is well allways and that I never do wrong. But there are times where I'm not able to stop paddling upstream, I'm not able to turn my boat and to let go die oars, I'm not able to find a better feeling thought and sometimes it seems, that I even dont want to look for a better feeling thought! Even If I'm really suffering! Means that, my IB wants to experiencing something "awkward" just for the experience? And that's the reason why I'm not able to to pivot my boat? Is it possible, that my IB wants experiencing unhappy feelings? Or does it only want experiencing certain circumstances and it would be not necessary to feel unhappy along the way?

Hi Bea
Your IB only ever wants you to see your relationship in this moment with your non physical intention. That is why Abraham says to pay attention to the way you feel and then look for thoughts that make you feel the very best.
It is the recognition of your feeling/emotion about the subject you are focusing on that is the reflection of your state of being in relationship to well being. You have a choice to stay in that place or move your focus to a better place where your thoughts are vibrating more harmoniously with your true self. Our state of being in this moment is our point of attraction.
Cheers
Simon

| Bea, are you asking if IB wants to put you in experiences that "force" you to "learn lessons?"

Is there a “grand divine plan” of any kind? One that Divine Intelligence has created and us as co-creators are meant to follow if we allow ourselves to allow our desires?
Sierra
Hi Sierra,
I wondered about that as well and did some major shifting in what I previously believed before Abe crossed my path. Some questions to consider: How can anything predetermined jive with the Law of Attraction? If we create our own reality, then how could it be that something (even something Divine) outside of us decides for us? It was very liberating for me to understand that we get to choose and decide and determine and create our own "divine plan!" Our "purpose" or "divine plan" is JOY. And how each of us individually expresses joy is what we get to choose and create. Here are some Abe quotes that may help to answer your question:
The contracts that you make from your non-physical perspective are much more general in nature than you all want to make them out to be. You intended to come forth and have a wonderful time, to have an expanded experience, have an opportunity to have a really good time, a fulfilling life experience. In other words, you did not say: I will go to that specific place and I will do that specific thing at that specific time with that specific person. In other words, there are a lot of people who want to make it out like that. All that is is you living your contrast and launching rockets of desire and the Universe arranging circumstances and events. So, there are a lot of things coming together as a result of what you've been living. The specifics of this life experience are coming about because of the desires being born from this life experience. Lovely, so lovely.
San Antonio, 4/22/06
You attract others, and are attracted by others, depending upon the current intentions that you hold in any point in time.
You have, undoubtedly, come into contact with others where there was immediate at-oneness experienced by both of you, and in such cases, it is very possible that you are old friends who have participated in, perhaps, many physical life experiences and have agreed, prior to this physical birth, to reunite to participate again. Many of you are finding one another now. You are coming together in this life experience because your Inner Beings have agreed that you would.
But even as you have made some decisions about others with whom you will interact in this physical lifetime, you are attracting only those beings who enhance that which you are CURRENTLY thinking about.
Our point, here, is that you are dominant in this physical experience. And no matter what decisions have been made prior to this physical birth, you are attracting the others, with whom you are interacting, through your physical conscious thought.
You have only to intend, now, in your new awareness, that you will meet those with whom you have agreed to participate -- and it will be.
This physical lifetime will be a sort of wonderful reunion for all beings who are aware of these possibilities -- for as you are aware of the broadness of your being, and of the broadness of others with whom you share this earth, and as your recognize that you emanate from groups of beings who have evolved similarly -- then you may deliberately attract those physical representatives into your physical experience that you may all benefit from the interaction.
A New Beginning I, pages 52-53
Sierra wrote:
We are all VERY unique in our preferences, in what we want, what we don't want, our likes and dislikes. Our uniqueness is what expands the leading edge through all our different experiences as Source lives through us.
So, how is it determined or pre-paved or who likes what and wants what?
Here is another Abe quote that may give you some more insight:
Guest: In my next lifetime, which I believe I will come back to, will I be the same person starting afresh? In other words, will that unique, eccentric me always be? Or are there absolutely no identities in terms of this Super-consciousness that we're participating in?
Abraham: Who you really are will live on eternally and will be reflected in lifetime after lifetime. You said some key words. This "unique you", that is your Inner Being expressing. In other words, as you are in vibrational harmony with your Source, and allowing your Source to reflect through you in this unique way, then you are, in your body out here on the leading edge, a sort of pure version of your Source Energy.
Let's say that you have ten lifetimes. And it doesn't matter if you want to think of them in terms of linear fashion, in other words, "I come and I die, and I come and I die, and I come and I die;" it's all right; that's really not the way that it is, but let's picture it in that way: I have ten lifetimes. And if in each of those lifetimes I somehow learned how wonderful I am, and I was taught by those around me, or I came to the point of learning, how to find thoughts that feel good--so that I allowed the pure essence of who I am to flow through--you would discover very specific personality traits showing up in each of those lifetimes. And others, if they could know you in all ten lifetimes, would find you to be very much the same person. Because you would be Source Energy reflecting.
Excerpted from the workshop in Tarrytown, NY on Saturday, May 18th, 2002
What a great thread! Lots of juicy questions!
Tom (my fiance) has some good questions. One was about animals and their instincts and how that all works. He comes back from Austin today and I'll chat with him again about some of his questions. He once asked Abraham about how the law of gravity and other "laws" relate to the Law of Attraction. Abe said that LOA triumphs all.

Hi Patricia
No not to learn lessons, but for the experience only, like we go to a movie to watch something. When my IB knows that all is well allways, and knows, that I'm source, maybe it's enjoying to experience lack of money or an unfullfilled love? Like some people like to watch a thriller or a drama? If it's not enjoying it, why I'm not able to pivot? And how can all be well allways, when my IB doesn't enjoy what I experience?

Hi Simon
Ok, my IB wants that I come in alignment with who I'm really am. Maybe my IB knows it is the shortest way to get what it wants, when I'm experiencing some awkward feelings? I'm looking for an explanation why sometimes I'm not able to pivot and stop paddling upstream and sometimes I am... Some things in my life unfolds in a wonderful way and I can see why it is so and some doesn't and I can see why it is so. But when all is well allways, it has a reason, why sometimes I'm able to pivot and move downstream and be in alignment with what I want und sometimes I'm not. I would like to get an explanation for that.

Thanks for that, CarolSmile. That is where I was confused because Abraham talks of us coming from soul clusters and emerging back into pure Source Energy when we croak, so I wasn't sure how it worked in our keeping our own preferences and likes and dislikes each time we come back for more.....

And thank you, Violet, Oh Grand Abe Quote Queen!
But even as you have made some decisions about others with whom you will interact in this physical lifetime, you are attracting only those beings who enhance that which you are CURRENTLY thinking about.
Our point, here, is that you are dominant in this physical experience. And no matter what decisions have been made prior to this physical birth, you are attracting the others, with whom you are interacting, through your physical conscious thought.
That answers part of my question in that Abraham does say that we make some decisions before coming in, but only attract them to us depending on where we are at. So if I am allowing WHO I REALLY AM, then I would probably be attracting what I had decided on before coming in... and always the main reason to be here is to experience joy and expansion!

Well, at the risk of hijacking this thread to one of "What does IB want?"
Yes, IB knows that all is well, always. And now we know that, and there is no going back, but I am thinking that the unfulfillment, and the lack and all that....is the Contrast----endless varieties of Contrast that IB knew we would experience---[see the posting I did of Abraham's "Rampage of Appreciation for US"].
It is our "human" Explorer of the Contrast, who "wants" the Contrast, who has come here on its own personal mission, so to speak, to stir up the contrast and just expand AllThatIs. (God).
We came to experience the Contrast from the physical environments (so many climates and topographies on the planet), all the psychological environments (all the egoic creations of the other humans around), all the political contrasts (forms of governments), all the spiritual contrasts (religions and metaphysics, etc)---so as to keep on refining, refining, and refining, all the subtle little improvements on what feels good.
Sort of like a painter who keeps going back to dab on one more spot of color on the painting, or the sculptor who goes back to make one little more chiseling on the painting, or the filmmaker who sees one more shift to make in how a scene is portrayed....
But where INNER BEING is,----all is well, and Inner Being is ALREADY LIVING every little improvement that we have put in our own individual "pie."
We, as physical beings, don't get to live it until we match up to it emotionally and appreciatively. Seth, who I feel comfortable is one and the same of the family of Abraham, has said that we come in to get really, really, really clear about how what Abraham calls "deliberate creating" works, to become really, really expert and understanding and perfecting the art of creating our own reality.
And Seth has talked about how there is a next level to that. Abraham has talked about "more and more Joy".....
That's how *I* see it.
Pat

Sorry Tara, it's not really what you have started, but I got just in this moment the answer from the univers.
I tried to explain what I mean. I tried to be more precisely with examples from my life. I experienced contrast in several areas of my life and sometimes it's not difficult to pivot and sometimes it's difficult but I can cope with and sometimes it seems that I'm not able to do anything. And as I tried to specify these areas, I got it. The areas where it seems that I'm not able to pivot or stop paddling upstream are areas I don't know really what I want! I know only what I don't want! And the areas where it's easy to notice the contrast and turn my boat are areas where I know intimately what I want! That's the difference and that's the reason why it is sometimes easy and sometimes so difficult or almost impossible.
Thank you all for answering! I will now try to find out what I want in these areas. And if I dont get it, I will come back and ask you! I'm sure then I will find the answer.
