Here are some highlights!!! All the painful incidents in my life (contrast) caused me to identify what it was I DID want.... and they have all manifested.
*Grade 6- girls who left me out and were mean= wanting friends that were nice to me ( I am still friends, 43 years later, with the friend who did show up)
*Stupid teacher= teachers that were funny and caring and good.
*Boyfriend killed in a motorcycle accident=understanding more about life and death, desire to go into nursing to help others
* Witnessing first baby being born,horrified=desire to see childbirth "humanized" -fathers allowed into birthrooms=became a midwife and helped to legalize homebirth and midwifery where I live.
* Daughter developing excema as an infant= find an alternative way to help her=found homeopathy which ultimately cured her and ended up being my lifelong choice for health care for all my family.
*Found out my husband had been having affairs=leave marriage and find a partner who would love and appreciate me
*Tired and cranky working 12 hour shifts as a nurse=change lifestyle and move to the country and find more agreeable work
*Irritable with new husband=learned to be more accepting of him and appreciate him more ( are we are about to celebrate 21 years together!)
*Sleepless nights feeling depressed and empty and left out of things=found spiritual books that helped, started taking University courses, started teaching own classes on spiritual subjects
*One individual in woman's group drove me "crazy"=desire to move on and also find way to be in community with her= one of my greatest "teachers"
So......contrast has caused me to grow and grow, and my life as it is now, is simply a result of the refining of my desires.
Hang in there........as Abe says" Are you enjoying the expanded desire that contrast has caused you to be?"
Love,
Aryana

Dear Aryana,
it is a joy to share in your appreciation of the contrast of your life - of its desires that were birthed and the expansion that they and you became.
thank you
blessings Robyn

Aryana, that was absolutely wonderful.. thank you so much!
I often write myself just such a "testimonial to contrast" about my own life. It gives me so much appreciation for every experience I've had and every choice I've made. I love that Abraham teaches "you can't get it wrong because you never get it done." And as you've so lovingly shown us in the examples from your own life, all of the contrast is necessary in order to grow, expland, change, and ultimately to have fun!
Abraham likes to start their workshops by saying "are you enjoying the contrast of your time and place?" I think they understand that we often don't "enjoy" the contrast while we're experiencing it, but we sure DO enjoy the expansion it affords and those rockets of desire.
It's the crux of the whole teaching, isn't it? Abraham says the 3 steps to creation are:
1. identify what you don't want by experiencing contrast
2. Source answers (It is DONE)
3. Allow it in
You have become a great allower, and have ALLOWED your contrasting experiences to flow into your greater expansion and good. That's what we all want to do!
This is such a powerful post you have written Aryana!! Thank you!
Jody

Aryana, thanks so much for posting! It was a joy to read concrete examples of how contrast serves to push us forward to higher levels of expansion and joy!

| Hi Aryana, just read your post, it sounds interessting but not sure right now whether I can accept all just happened in my life the last 3 mths. it's so horrible and just like from one hurricane to another. It's still so much painful in my breast until now, but I think I have to sit down and write down the contrasts, so I can understand better the contrast.

1. Identify what you don't want by experiencing contrast, the
2. Source answers (It is DONE)
3. Allow it in
I have another approach that helps me….
1.The universe knows the exact details of what it is that I want.(I have been asking again and again)
2.It is not my job to know the how….
3.All I have to do is have as much fun as possible for the things I want to come to me.
All is really well…..

OOOh, Katarina - I LOVE the way you've written the 3 steps! Especially the way you wrote step 3! I think telling someone "allow" leaves a lot to be desired.. and you've put it perfectly! "have as much fun as possible"!! That's exactly what being in allowing "mode" is!
On the last cruise, Abraham talked about how we all seem to hang out too much in step ONE, and not enough in step THREE. In fact, they kept saying we'd already done so much step one'ing that the Universe has enough desires held in our escrow for 30 lifetimes! Now if we'd just ALLOW...(Have fun).

Dear prada,
Yes, some of the contrast I experienced felt like an enormous wave had hit me and swept me under. I was only 19 when my boyfriend died, and the pain and grief were enormous- but I can now say that that experience was so powerful in creating a huge desire for understanding, compassion, and wisdom.
If I had had the help of Abraham then, oh my dear, it would so much have helped. But it did create a huge desire in me to understand living and dying and "why are we here?" and "what happens after one dies? " that it did ultimately lead me to Abe .....along the way, there was much sweetness and love....
I know that when you take the time to identify what it is you now desire, and surrender into the great love that is there for us in Source, that you too will find the peace that I hear you so much desire.
With love ,
Aryana
And thank you Jody,Robyn, Spurlark and Katrina and all for appreciating my post...I certainly appreciate all the learning and insights I have gleaned from all of your posts....!!

Dear prada,
Aryana is in a much different place vibrationally about these things in her life now and has moved up the emotional scale on them. She is now in a place where she can reflect on them and truly bless the expansion that came from the contrast and appreciate the contrast for what it allowed her to become.
Dont try and jump there too soon. You cant jump from overwhelment to appreciating. If you can see any experience of contrast as the creation point of desires energetically being lauched, then that is a wonderful thing. If you can accept that all of your power is in your now moment, you hold the key. If you can accept that you have choices in every moment to reach for a worse or a better feeling point - then you claim your power and ultimately your freedom.
much love and angel blessings Robyn

Robyn is spot- on.
When I first starting working with the Emotional Guidance scale, I sat around anger and frustration and resentment most of the time ( this was 9 months ago).
I then decided to accept " boredom" as my goal- as it seemed somewhat neutral- although I REALLY wanted enthusiasm and happiness, but that seemed impossible then.
It took time and "work" to stay even at contentment, when I would feel anger again. I kept a copy of the EGS on my fridge so I could reference it.
And I talked and wrote to myself ALOT- moving constantly up the EGS- one step at a time some days.
And now, I seem to be able to maintain the feelings of appreciation, and love and wonder 99% of the time- a miracle indeed!!!
Hope this helps!
Aryana
