Hey!! That's very interesting, Bea. Thanks for sharing your inspiration. I'm going to think about that one for myself. Even if it's not the only or final answer, I think it might be very enlightening. I have a feeling Abe's 'eyes' would light up at any reason we find to focus on what we want, instead of what we don't want.
I bet Tara won't mind the hijack of her thread as long as we give it back!

Bea: I hear what you;re saying about having difficulty dropping the oars and sometimes that feeling of almost WANTING to focus on the negative. I'd love to hear what Abraham has to say about this topic.
I think it's something that a lot of us go through (I was JUST talking about the same issue with my therapist the other day). I think part of it is practice. The more we practice dropping the oars and reaching for a better feeling thought, the easier it will become. A lot of us have been practicing feeling bad for so long, that sometimes it feels easier to just continue feeling bad. When you're caught up in the cycle of negativity, the law of attraction is bringing you more and more negative thoughts to focus on and wallow in. Even Abraham says that it's much easier to catch yourself with the little negative thoughts and change them around. Once you're way down in anger or sadness, it can be a little more difficult.
Thanks for starting this thread! One of the "all day play dates" is my birthday! So I'll be sure to tune in and see what happens Have a lovely time!

I think you are not sure what you want, because the egoic mind is already stepping in there and telling you "you don't know HOW to get it!!"
Well, never mind the mind!
This might help:
Take a piece of paper and fold it in half to make a divider down the middle.
On the left side, make a title, "What I DON'T want", and on the right side, make a title "What I DO want"
Then start your list down the left side. As soon as you have the first "dont' want" go over to the right side and write the opposite. Bingo!
Keep going....You'll have a nice list of DO Wants. Just let it settle into your consciousness, and tell the Universe/God/InnerBeing to guide you to the next logical steps and feelings to rendezvous you with the DO Wants.

This is a great process tool, Pat, and one I use myself and recommend in my book. Sometimes we have to be clear about what we don't want to get to what we do want! I love it, thanks for mentioning it here!

Hi Bea 
What I believe, is that we don't have to figure everything out with our minds. Sometimes it is not easy to know what we want, we just seem to see the things we don't want. Figuring out with our mind what it is we do want and staying focused on that can be a bit difficult then. But what helps me, is to just look for things that make me feel good, things that don't even have anything to do with that particual subject. Because when I feel good, I'm aligned with Source, with my Inner Being, and my Inner Being has already planned out the best way for me, because of all trhe rockets of desire I send out, at the moment I became aware of what I didn't want. Maybe my mind doesn't always know what I want, but my Inner Being does. When I let my Inner Being figure it out, I believe it will get much much better that I could ever figure out with my mind. The only job for me then is to feel good, so that I am aligned and allowing, and letting all the good things in.
Hope this helps
Love
Tai

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.
If you are the one doing the paddling then you are the one who can stop it. If you say you can't then you can't....end of story. you create your own reality. the area of your experience that you are feeling this resistance in is simply pointing out that your alignment is out of sync with source in those areas of your experience. Why keep your hand on the stove when you know it is burning you. Just stop and the universe will turn your boat for you. all we ever require when we recognise the less than desireable feelings is the feeling that brings relief. thought by thought. Contrast is not a bad thing but more, it is the resistance that is exposed by the contrast that is the thing that holds us back from well being. Stop 'trying' for that word signals looking for the 'how' when that is the job of the universe(step 2) your adventure is in step 1 and step 3. There is a song title from a movie I once saw "If you want to change your life, change your mind" .
As long as you believe that what you believe is true, then what you believe is always true for you.
Cheers
Simon

| Hmmm If i were in the hotseat.... well this isnt a really big question, but I once heard abraham say that they only see vibration, which is why when choosing people to be in the hotseat they can't say "yes, you in the yellow shirt!" or "the woman with the blue necklace!". If they cant do that, than how do they see the letters on the typewriter in order to write a book?? Any ideas?

Esther get a feeling of what Abraham want say. She try to express the feeling in words and sentences and her feeling shows her, if she is right. Abraham talk in feelings not in words. I think in the beginning it was more difficult as after all these years. That's why there isn't almost no delay between Esther get the feeling and her words.

My question has to do with my work.
I work with the energy of flowers. I find the energy of flowers to be POWERFULLY uplifting and thus life-improving.
I have my own ideas about how it all works and what the consciousness of flowers is and how it impacts our lives, but I would love to hear what Abraham has to say about it.
 Beautiful Flower Vibrations Abound! K.

Hi Patricia
It's nice to be able to say "no, that's definitly not the point!" 
As I have experienced that the universe was able to manifest a new car out of nothing and to turn my profession in what I always wanted to do, but had no idea how that would be possible, the "how" is no longer something what I'm thinking about.
It's really that I don't know what I want regarding money and what I want regarding love. Until today I thought, I knew it, because I know what I dont want. But I dont really know the feeling I want about money (how does abundance feel like?) and also I dont know what I want to feel about love. Oh, of course I want this one man... But there is the fine print in the terms of the universe...
And so I sit in front of this paper, knowing what I dont want and pondering what's the feeling I want about love and money...

Could it be that you want to feel BETTER? That's the only reason we ever want for anything, isn't it? Because we believe that we will feel BETTER if we have it?

I think the essence of the question is "How is being AWARE of a negative aspect the same as CONVERGING with it, or attracting an interaction with it in my experience? Why is that necessarily an indication that it is ACTIVELY ATTRACTING?"
Tell me if I am not making sense!!!!.
Pat - You make absolute sense to me! I love your question (and I do listen to this particular cd quite often, so I know exactly the interaction you're speaking of.)
That question you raise tends to go in and out of my mind quite a bit, especially related to work. My job is working with "criminals" and assisting and soothing them to their own guidance (that's the new job description I gave myself ). The point is - noticing everything, or just about everything is what's required of me, but it doesn't mean I allow it into my experience in a way that effects me negatively. I've moved to the place where I can see the 'criminal charge' as just 'What's So' for them right now...knowing completely that everything is about LOA...and there are no real victims. From this place, it's really easy to give the majority of my focus - when working with those on my caseload - from a place of, "What is it you're wanting? What have you placed in your Vibrational Escrow?"
But - based on the interaction Abraham had with that guest on the Ashville cd - I really don't get how I'm a match to the convergence. I get that I'm a match to my job...at least for now. I get that I chose the field of Law...that's not what I question. I get that I am a match to working with others whose emotions and lives are all over the emotional scale. When all is said and done, however, this area is just a little too gray for me. It just seems to me there is a difference between what we notice and what we're vibrating.
Well, now that the question has been asked - we know the answer is forthcoming!

Ha, ha! I was listening to my new Abe CDs from the recent workshop in Dublin, Ireland and a guy asked a question about telekinesis and telepathy! Thatwas part of the question I wanted to ask How funny is that?!

Okay, so my NEXT question would be:
If I am obviously a very powerful creator (I just asked the question and it was answered on my new CDs, like magic) then WHERE IS MY STUFF? lol
I KNOW, I know, taking score too soon and asking where my stuff is sure isn't going to help me align with it. I get that.
And I still wonder... if a castle is as easy as a button, if a hundred million dollars is as easy as $10 or $100 then .... again with the "where is my stuff?"
I'm OBVIOUSLY a powerful creator! I have seen proof numerous times!
I'm sitting here launching rockets of desire for things that I do believe I can have. And I've proven time and time again that I'm a powerful creator. So what do I need to do to create castles? I seem to have the buttons down pat, and I really appreciate the buttons.... maybe I need to appreciate the buttons more.
