Daily Quotes from Abraham

Here's a rule of thumb that will help you: If you believe that something is good, and you do it, it benefits you. If you believe that something is bad, and you do it, it is a very detrimental experience. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Ft. Collins, CO on Sunday, June 14th, 1998 #549 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

I see myself in perfect health. I see myself in absolute prosperity. I see myself invigorated with life, appreciating, again, this physical life experience which I wanted so very much as I decided to be a physical Being. It is glorious to be here, a physical Being, making decisions with my physical brain but accessing the power of the Universe through the power of the Law of Attraction. --- Abraham Excerpted from "The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham" #548 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The beast, like all of you, chooses freedom first. And if ever the physical condition becomes less than joyful, the beast -- if left to himself -- will re-emerge into Nonphysical. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Lincroft, NJ on Tuesday, October 15th, 1996 #547 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You're never going to get to any final place. And so, we want to remind you to relax and start having fun on the way. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Syracuse, NY on Thursday, October 17th, 1996 #546 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Most people have put anything that earns money in the category of the things that I have to do. And that is why the money often comes so hard. If you are wise enough to follow the trail of good-feeling thoughts by deliberately looking for positive aspects along your way, you will come into vibrational alignment with who-you-really-are and with the things you really want, and once you do that, the Universe must deliver to you a viable means to achieve your desires. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #545 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

All the resources you will ever want or need are at your fingertips. All you have to do is identify what you want to do with it, and then practice the feeling-place of what it will feel like when that happens. There is nothing you cannot be or do or have. You are blessed Beings; you have come forth into this physical environment to create. There is nothing holding you back, other than your own contradictory thought. And your emotion tells you you're doing that. Life is supposed to be fun—it is supposed to feel good! You are powerful Creators and right on schedule. Savor more; fix less. Laugh more; cry less. Anticipate positively more; anticipate negatively less. Nothing is more important than that you feel good. Just practice that and watch what happens. There is great love here for you. We are complete. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in North Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, March 22nd, 2003 #544 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If it is true, and it is, that when I, meaning, any point of Consciousness, asks, it is given, then can you not feel the perfection of the selfish ego? Every vantage point gets to ask, and every vantage point is answered. And when everyone is individually choosing and Source is answering--then what could be a more balanced world? --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Sedona, AZ on Saturday, August 31st, 2002 #543 Click here to view a free 10-minute trailer from our new Introduction to Abraham DVD. Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The hypocrisy around the subject of sexuality is huge. Early on, there were others who were a lot more interested in you satisfying what made them feel good than in satisfying what made you feel good. There were so many things that you felt inclined to go this way, that you were forced to go that way, that at an early age, you made a conscious decision that if it felt good, it was wrong. And if it felt wrong, it was probably right. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Rafael, CA on Saturday, February 21st, 2004 #542 Click here to view a free 10-minute trailer from our new Introduction to Abraham DVD. Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Abraham is not a singular consciousness as you feel that you are in your singular bodies. Abraham is collective consciousness. There is a stream or river of consciousness. As one of you asks a question, there are many, many points of consciousness that are funneling through what feels to be one perspective, (because there is, in this case, one human, Esther, who is interpreting or articulating it) so it appears singular to you. We are multidimensional and multi-faceted, and certainly multi-consciousness. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Kansas City, MO on Sunday, August 29th, 1999 #541 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

As you perceive something, you give birth to a thought, and this thought now thinks. Now that it exists, now that it has been conjured, now that it has been focused, now it vibrates. Now, by Law of Attraction, other thoughts that are vibrationally same will come to it. So it begins its expansion immediately. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Philadelphia, PA on Thursday, October 15th, 1998 #540 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

As you perceive something, you give birth to a thought, and this thought now thinks. Now that it exists, now that it has been conjured, now that it has been focused, now it vibrates. Now, by Law of Attraction, other thoughts that are vibrationally same will come to it. So it begins its expansion immediately. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Philadelphia, PA on Thursday, October 15th, 1998 #540 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Make lists of positive aspects. Make lists of things you love—and never complain about anything. And as you use those things that shine bright and make you feel good as your excuse to give your attention and be who-you-are, you will tune to who-you-are, and the whole world will begin to transform before your eyes. It is not your job to transform the world for others—but it is your job to transform it for you. A state of appreciation is pure Connection to Source where there is no perception of lack. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #539 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

When you focus upon lack in an attitude of complaining, you establish a vibrational point of attraction that then gives you access only to more thoughts of complaint. Your deliberate effort to tell a new story will establish a new pattern of thought, providing you with a new point of attraction from your present, about your past, and into your future. The simple effort of looking for positive aspects will set a new vibrational tone that will begin the immediate attraction of thoughts, people, circumstances, and things that are pleasing to you. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #538 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If man understood that "what I create has nothing to do with what anybody else is creating" then he wouldn't be so afraid of what others are doing. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in El Paso, TX on Saturday, November 14th, 1998 #537 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The best thing you could do for anyone that you love, is be happy! And the very worst thing that you could do for anyone that you love, is be unhappy, and then ask them to to try to change it, when there is nothing that anybody else can do that will make you happy. If it is your dominant intent to hold yourself in vibrational harmony with who you really are, you could never offer any action that would cause anybody else to be unhappy. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, April 25th, 1999 #536 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Each and every component that makes up your life experience is drawn to you by the powerful Law of Attraction's response to the thoughts you think and the story you tell about your life. Your money and financial assets; your body's state of wellness, clarity, flexibility, size, and shape; your work environment, how you are treated, work satisfaction, and rewards—indeed, the very happiness of your life experience in general—is all happening because of the story that you tell. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #535 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

There isn't anything anybody wants that is for any other reason than that they think they would feel better in having it. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Seattle, WA on Saturday, July 3rd, 1999 #534 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

When you play the What-If? game, look for things that make you feel better. There is never a situation in which there is not a way out—but, out of habit, most people continue to choose the "lack" perspective until they eventually find themselves where it seems that there are no more choices. But as you hold to your intention to look for evidence of Well-Being and thriving and success and happiness, you will tune yourself to the vibrations of those things—and so those kinds of good-feeling experiences will dominate your life. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #533 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The Universe does not know or care whether the vibration that you're offering is in response to something you are living right now, and observing, or in response to something you are imagining. In either case, the Universe accepts it as your point of attraction and matches it. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Silver Spring, MD on Saturday, April 19th, 1997 #532 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

People say, "The joy is in the journey," but they rarely understand what they are saying. You are in this focused time/space reality with goals and objectives that call you because as you identify a desire it literally summons life through you. Life summoning through you is what it's all about, not the completion of anything. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, November 1st, 1998 #531 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

When you ask, it is given, every single time, no exceptions. You are beloved, blessed Beings who deserve good things—but it takes a self-convincing before you will allow good things. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Boston, MA on Saturday, October 2nd, 2004 #530 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If you are feeling a shortage of time or money, your best effort would be to focus upon better-feeling thoughts, and do more things that make you feel good. Your time is a perceptual thing, and even though the clock is ticking the same for everyone, your alignment affects your perception, as well as the results that you allow. As you observe the enormous differences in the effort that people apply and the results they achieve, you have to conclude that there is more to the equation of achieving than action alone. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #529 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Find something to feel good about and get out of the way, and allow the cells to receive what they've been asking for. That is the key to healing. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Orlando, FL on Saturday, January 22nd, 2005 #528 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Whether it is a castle or a button, if you are using it as your object of attention, it is summoning Life Force. It is the feel of the Life Force that life is about. The reason that you are summoning it is inconsequential. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Phoenix, AZ on Saturday, April 4th, 1998 #527 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

So, look at your world that seems bent on revenge. The suicide bomber didn't just wake up one morning in the middle of a joyful life and decide to go kill some people. That person, whoever it was, was living such a feeling of disempowerment, that the only access they had to anything that gave them even an opportunity to have a breath of air, in that moment, was a feeling of revenge. We agree, we don't want them to get stuck in that feeling of revenge and then go kill themselves and other people. But we certainly understand how they got there. Nobody wants to feel powerless. And so, the suicide bombers are just those who are saying, "Well, I can do this one thing. You've taken away my power in this way, and in this way, and in this way, but there's one thing you cannot take away from me: my power to take myself out and a bunch of other people with me, hopefully." --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Fort Collins, CO on Saturday, June 19th, 2004 #526

Whenever something that you think you want does not unfold, it is for one of two reasons: Either your habit of vibration, your belief, your dominant vibration that you are offering relative to the subject, doesn't match what you think your desire is, or, you and your desire are a perfect match, and this thing you think you want just doesn't match, and so the Universe doesn't deliver it. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, November 1st, 1998 #525 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

As long as you are feeling discomfort within anything, you're holding yourself in a vibration where all of the things that you have conjured, and all of the things that you have let the Universe know that you want, cannot flow to you. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, July 25th, 1999 #524 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The Universe is abundant with everything that you want. It's not testing you. It's benevolently providing for you. But you are the orchestrater. You are the definer, and you do it through your joyous anticipation. If there is an emotion that you are wanting to foster, that would serve you very, very well, it is positive expectation. It is excited anticipation. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Diego, CA on Sunday, August 3rd, 1997 #523 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

No one experiences freedom until they stop pushing against others. The only thing that binds you is the pushing against that which is unwanted. And so, if a religion could just be excited about what it is, or a person within a religion could just speak with appreciation about what it is, without justifying what it is by pushing against everything else, then each religion, in all of its difference, could be just exactly what you're reaching for. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Boca Raton, FL on Saturday, December 8th, 2001 #522 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Here's a rule of thumb that will help you: If you believe that something is good, and you do it, it benefits you. If you believe that something is bad, and you do it, it is a very detrimental experience. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Ft. Collins, CO on Sunday, June 14th, 1998 #521 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

When you are in sync with the Energy of Source, which is the Energy of Well-being, Well-being is your experience. And when you're not you don't feel so good. Everything that you're living is a perfect replica of the vibration of your being. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Houston, TX on Saturday, January 5th, 2002 #520 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The Universe is not discriminating about the rightness or the wrongness of your request. It is here to accommodate all requests. All you have to do is be a Vibrational Match to your request, and the Universe will yield it to you. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Sacramento, CA on Saturday, May 13th, 2000 #519 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You were "predetermined" to have a joyful, expansive experience, and the way in which you will do that is all up to you. All other choices are for your physical format. Everything is still in the process of being created. There is no creation that has reached its completion. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Albany, NY on Saturday, May 22nd, 1999 #518 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Sometimes you walk into things, that, if you were paying attention, vibrationally, you would know right from the beginning that it wasn't what you are wanting. In most cases, your initial knee-jerk response was a pretty good indicator of how it was going to turn out later. The things that give most of you the most grief are those things that initially you had a feeling response about, but then you talked yourself out of it for one reason or another. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Boston, MA on Saturday, October 4th, 1997 #517 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If you are ending up where you want to be, what difference does it make whether you went fast or slow? Or what difference does it make whether it was painful before it got really good? Isn't that the point of free will? You get to choose. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, July 30th, 2005 #516 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Even though you would like your government to orchestrate the laws or God to orchestrate the law or somebody to give everybody one set of rules, it's not ever going to happen. Each one of you, individually, are seeking your own vibrational balance, and when you find it, then you will welcome all kinds of different beliefs, because you will never fear that the belief will take you someplace that you don't want to be. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Atlanta, GA on Saturday, September 13th, 1997 #515 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The buffer of time gives you the opportunity to get it right before it manifests, to take pleasure from the vision and from the molding it into place... Can you imagine if everything was manifesting instantly? You would manifest this, and then you would manifest it away. And then you'd manifest that, and then... It would be a difficult thing if you were instantly manifesting every whim or every misaligned thought. It's so much better that you have this buffer of time where you can feel it into perfection before it manifests into your experience. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Ashland, OR on Tuesday, May 16th, 2000 #514 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You think that the goal is to be over there, and we say the goal is the journey over there; the goal is the fun you have along the way on your way to over there. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, March 1st, 1997 #513 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You are really individual beings, with very special talents, and it would be nice if teachers had the time, or parents had the awareness or skill, to see the children as the very individual, very special beings that they are. So that rather than trying to drum them into one category, they are, instead, appreciating the special insight that each child brings to the sea of diversity and contrast which is the stuff that creation comes from. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Atlanta, GA on Saturday, September 13th, 1997 #512 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Just like the wild beasts, you want your own autonomy. You want freedom. You want freedom from negative emotion. You want freedom from somebody telling you what to do. Whether you are consciously aware of it or not -- what all of you want is a sense of Well-being --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Orlando, FL on Saturday, February 3rd, 2001 #511 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Don't get lost in the diagnosis, the medicine, or in the statistics about what somebody else did about it. If you don't feel good, it's because you're not thinking in a way that allows the Energy to flow. You could just get really, really mad at someone you love and make every muscle in your body stiff. And you would ask,"Why does my body feel this way?" And we say, because you've had a Vibrational tug-of-war going on...Stop looking for anything other than your mental and emotional state of being as answers to why you feel how you feel in your body. It is all Vibrational - no exception! And when you get that, then it doesn't matter what diagnosis has been given to you - it doesn't matter - it's temporary. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Orlando, FL on Friday, December 20th, 2002 #510 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Within the seed of your desire is everything necessary for it to blossom to fulfillment. And Law of Attraction is the engine that does the work. Your work is just to give it a fertile growing place in order to expand --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Albuquerque, NM on Sunday, May 9th, 1999 #509 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The premise that so many people come from is that good isn't natural; good must be demanded or manipulated or orchestrated. And we say, good IS natural! It must be asked for, and it must be expected -- but Good is the only Stream that flows --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Tarrytown, NY on Saturday, May 15th, 1999 #508 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Parents don't want their children to make the wrong decisions, so they don't allow them to make the decision. And then the child becomes dependent, and then the parent resents that, and it gets off into a blameful thing early on. If you are encouraging children to do all that they can do -- and not squelching the natural eagerness that is within them, so that they can shine and thrive and show you and themselves how good they are at adapting to physical experience -- then everyone wins. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Dallas, TX on Saturday, March 13th, 1999 #507 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You are Beings who intend to come forth and to continue to expand and grow and change. What is the perfect age? "Well, it's the age where I finally understand my freedom, and I finally understand that I am free to create, and it's the age that I am at my most beautiful." And we say, by whose standards? In other words, who gets to decide the perfect age? And we say, rather than determining what the perfect age is, why not decide what the perfect state of being is—and then discover that you can find the perfect state of being at any age. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Tarrytown, NY on Saturday, May 10th, 2003 #506 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You want the desire because it is the idea or the goal or the Creation that is responsible for a good amount of Life Force to flow through you. The main event is the Life Force that is flowing through you, not the manifestation. And if you don't believe us now, wait until that manifestation has popped, and realize that its power to draw life through you will be greatly diminished. That's why you keep wanting another goal and another goal and another goal... --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Kansas City, KS on Sunday, September 27th, 1998 #505 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The reason the grandchildren will benefit by the launched rockets that you've set forth; is because they're born with no resistance to the rockets of desires that you've launched forth... You've seen those little ones on computers? They have no problem with that. They were born with computers in their life; they're born cable-ready. They're already up to speed with what you've launched into the vibrational future. And that's one of the reasons that it's nice when the old ones croak and the new ones come in, because it sort of dilutes the resistance factor that's going on on this planet. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Tarrytown, NY on Saturday, May 14th, 2005 #504 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Many people protest when we explain to them the power of telling the story of their finances as they want it to be rather than as it is, because they believe that they should be factual about what is happening. But if you continue to look at lackful what-is and speak of what-is, you will not find the improvement that you desire. If you want to effect substantial change in your life experience, you must think thoughts that feel different as you think them. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #503 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Everyone thinks they're right. So, the question isn't who's right or who's wrong. The question is, who is most in alignment with their Source? And who is the most allowing? And whose life is really going the best, most of the time? --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in North Los Angeles on Sunday, August 7th, 2005 #502 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Because others cannot vibrate in your experience, they cannot affect the outcome of your experience. They can hold their opinions, but unless their opinion affects your opinion, their opinion matters not at all. A million people could be pushing against you and it would not negatively affect you unless you push back. That million people pushing against you are affecting their millions of vibrations. They are affecting what happens in their experience. They are affecting their point of attraction, but it does not affect you unless you push against them. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Orlando, FL on Saturday, February 21st, 1998 #501 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Source Energy is intimately, infinitely, always responding to your requests, no matter how great or small they may be deemed by you or anyone else who is observing them. There is nothing so big that Source Energy can't get its thoughts around it-- and there is nothing so small that Source Energy isn't willing to get its thoughts around it. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, August 4th, 2001 #500 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Overwhelment is about you not being up to speed with what you told the Universe that you want. The Universe is yielding to you. You're just not ready to receive it right now. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Philadelphia, PA on Monday, May 13th, 2002 #499 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You're not ever going to teach them how to vibrate, nor would you want to change them all to a place of vibrating just like you. Your work is not to fix them; they are not broken. Your work is to choose from among all of that which feels best to you, and fixate on it as long as it gives you pleasure and joy. And in doing so, you will align with the Energy of your Source, and you will live a magnificent experience. You just have to not let your joy depend upon what anybody else is living, cause that'll get you every time. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Tarrytown, NY on Saturday, May 8th, 2004 #498 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Some say that you should not want money at all because the desire for money is materialistic and not Spiritual. But we want you to remember that you are here in this very physical world where Spirit has materialized. You cannot separate yourself from the aspect of yourself that is Spiritual, and while you are here in these bodies, you cannot separate yourselves from that which is physical or material. All of the magnificent things of a physical nature that are surrounding you are Spiritual in nature. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #497 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You don't have to work at being in the high vibration that is natural to you, because it is natural to you. But you do have to stop holding the thoughts that cause you to lower your vibration. It's a matter of no longer giving your attention to things that don't allow your cork to float or don't allow you to vibrate in harmony with who you really are. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Silver Spring, MD on Saturday, April 19th, 1997 #496 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

There are those that say, if you do the uncomfortable thing long enough, it will become comfortable. But we are really not encouragers of that. We are encouragers of coming into alignment, and then taking the action. We are encouragers always of getting rid of the fear; we would never want you to keep doing things that you feel fearful about. And maybe the path of least resistance is just not get on the horse. Maybe the path of least resistance is to get on a different horse—but we would never move forward in fear. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Billings, MT on Saturday, June 21st, 2003 #495 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

When you see someone living something awful, a rocket of desire for their resolution shoots out of you. And then, if you start focusing upon their resolution, you'll start feeling better right away. And now, you're part of the current that is part of the solution. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Asheville, NC on Sunday, October 24th, 2004 #494 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

What is a bad thing anyway? A bad thing is something that is different than what I want. Who gets to decide what the bad thing is? Jerry and Esther watched the mother bird lay her eggs in the nest, and then the neighbor's cat ate the baby bird. Esther said "bad cat!" And the cat said, "good bird!" --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, July 24th, 1999 #493 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

When you think a thought of up liftment or abundance or Well-Being you are filled with a feeling of positive emotion. You may trust the way that you feel as the indicator as to which side of this subject (that is really two subjects) you are on. Whether it is the subject of money or lack of it, or health or lack of it, or a relationship or the lack of one—always, when you feel good, you are in the place of attracting that which you are wanting. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #492 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

It's not about years. It's not about age. It's not about youth. It's about decline. And decline is about alignment, or not. Decline is about, in this moment, which way am I forking? In this moment, which way am I forking? In this moment, which way am I forking? That's all it's about. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Diego, CA on Saturday, August 13th, 2005 #491 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

There is thought and there is Thought Form, and there is Manifestation. Manifestation is always in the eye of the beholder. So this time-space-reality that everyone is perceiving is nothing more than vibrational interpretation. So the Thought Form of that which is man was set forth from Broader Perspective, and has continued to evolve by the experience of those who were having the experience here on the planet. And what you actually see as man or human is vibrational interpretation. Now, did man come from ape? No, man was a different idea. So how does the idea of evolution occur? And we say, because the idea of each species was set forth, and as the experience of the species is lived, the idea expands. So the expansion is happening from the Leading Edge place, and is supported from the Source Energy that flows everywhere the idea goes. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Billings, MT on Saturday, June 21st, 2003 #490 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Physical experience is the leading edge of thought. The furtherest extension of that thought. You are not at the beginning. You are here on the leading edge, living the manifestation of thought. And as you expose yourself to the contrast within the manifestation, you don new desires which then summons the Life Force. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Syracuse, NY on Tuesday, October 14th, 1997 #489 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Every religion on the planet, and there are so many more than you are even aware of, has the potential of absolute thriving. But when you think that you must prove that you have the only one that is right—and you use your condemnation to push against the others—your condemnation separates you from your own Connection that, before your condemnation, you were finding in your own religion. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Boston, MA on Saturday, October 2nd, 2004 #488 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The achievement of anything that you desire must be considered success, whether it is a trophy or money or relationships, or things. But if you will let your standard of success be your achievement of joy—everything else will fall easily into place. For in the finding of joy, you are finding vibrational alignment with the resources of the Universe. --- Abraham Excerpted from "The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham" #487 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

It's ever so much more satisfying to get into a blissful place and attract a blissful person and live blissfully hereafter than to be in a negative place and attract a negative partner and then try to get happy from that negative place. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, February 2nd, 1997 #486 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The majority of your population, in your nation of democracy, is experiencing every bit as much bondage as the majority in the other forms of government; because bondage is not about the form of government, it is about the individual attachment to the vibration that disallows the Well-being from flowing --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, August 18th, 2001 #485 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The standard of success in life isn't the things. It isn't the money or the stuff. It is absolutely the amount of joy that you feel. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Lincroft, NJ on Tuesday, October 15th, 1996 #484 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

There is not a stream of badness and a stream of goodness, or sickness or wellness. There is only a Stream of Well-being. The question that you're wanting to ask yourself is, "In this moment, am I letting it in or not? Am I allowing it or am I not?" --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Cleveland, OH on Tuesday, July 11th, 2000 #483 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

We practice the Art of Allowing. Which means reaching for the thought that feels best, not the thought that is the real thought, not the thought that is telling it like it is. Telling it like it is only holds you where it is: "Damn it, I'm going to tell it like it is. I'm going to tell it like it is, because everybody wants me to tell it like it is." Tell it like it is if you like it like it is. But if you don't like it like it is, then don't tell it like it is--tell it like you want it to be. If you tell it like you want it to be, long enough, you will begin to feel it like you want it to be, and when you feel it like you want it to be, it be's like you want it to be. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Syracuse, NY on Saturday, September 30th, 2000 #482 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The Universe is not punishing you or blessing you. The Universe is responding to the vibrational attitude that you are emitting. The more joyful you are, the more Well-being flows to you -- and you get to choose the details of how it flows --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Phoenix, AZ on Saturday, February 24th, 2001 #481 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

We cannot focus upon the weaknesses of one another and evoke strengths. You cannot focus upon the things that you think they are doing wrong, and evoke things that will make you feel better. You've got to beat the drum that makes you feel good when you beat it. And when you do, you'll be a strong signal of influence that will help them to reconnect with who they are. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Washington, DC on Saturday, October 16th, 2004 #478 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Look for things that you appreciate where you are. It will put you in a place of perfect allowing, even when you are not yet manifesting all that you want. "There are many people right now experiencing the dream that is coming for me, who were at one time standing right where I'm standing. I'm right on track. There is not anything amiss here. Everything is unfolding perfectly. I am perfect where I am and gravitating to something that will satisfy me even more." That's the attitude that lets it expand. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Dallas, TX on Saturday, November 11th, 2000 #477 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The beasts that came before you, who banged around on this planet, denoted at cellular conscious and unconscious levels, their preferences. And that is how the atmosphere was prepared for you. They did not write one thing on their "things to do today" pads. They just be'd and perceived and concluded and asked vibrationally. And the Universe expanded as a result of their willingness to have exposure to the contrast. And you are not different from them. You have no greater responsibility than they did. The contrast produces the desire within you, and the Universe expands as a result of it. The only question is, the question that we want so much to answer is, are you letting it in? Are you letting yourself experience the benefit of your precious focus and your vast experience in the here and now? You'll never get it done. You cannot get it wrong. So don't you think it's time for you to lighten up and start having more fun with all of this, and accept that you are

Aren't you just thrilled that there are billions of beings of intelligence within you? Cells that each know what's best for them? And as they find what's best for them, it is ultimately what's best for you--unless you're focused upon something unwanted and using that as your excuse to block the flow. They are asking, Non-Physical is answering. Are you in the way or are you letting it flow? That's what this "Letting go and letting God" is all about. It's about relaxing and no longer hindering the communication between the individual askers. Every particle gets to individually decide. And as every particle asks, it is answered--and the Whole continues to thrive. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Sedona, AZ on Saturday, August 5th, 2000 #475 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Most parents, when they see children not terrorized by the things that terrorize them, they work very hard until they've finally got you terrorized. They teach you those irrational fears. Well-meaning, but they do just the same. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Antonio, TX on Saturday, April 20th, 2002 #474 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Your action has nothing to do with your abundance! Your abundance is a response to your vibration. Of course, your belief is part of your vibration. So if you believe that action is part of what brings your abundance, then you've got to unravel that. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Saturday, April 24th, 1999 #473 Our Love, Jerry and Esther
