Daily Quotes from Abraham

You've trained yourself to face reality. You've trained yourself to tell the truth. You've trained yourself to tell it like it is. So in the beginning, these fantasies feel a little inappropriate, because it's like you're fooling yourself. Sometimes people will say, "Well, isn't this just denial?" And we say, "We hope so!" We hope that you are denying the absence that you do not want. And we hope that you are embracing the presence of what you do. But somehow the idea of denial has become a dirty word to you; like it is virtuous to face the reality of the horror of your own lives. And we would be ignoring anything that did not please us. We would get our eyes on what feels good. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Rafael, CA on Friday, March 9th, 2001 # 227 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

When you withdraw your attention from those things that are not pleasing, and you put your attention upon those things that are pleasing, those pleasing things begin to become more abundant; and those not-pleasing things become more rare. Until, eventually, those not-pleasing things cannot be part of your experience because you will have eliminated your attraction factor from your vibration... What you think and what you get always matches. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Rafael, CA on Sunday, July 31st, 2005 # 226 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

No matter what the issue is, don't try to justify why you don't feel good. And don't try to justify why you should feel differently. Don't try to blame whatever it is you think the reason is that's keeping you from feeling good. All of that is wasted effort. Just try to feel better right now. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Tallahassee, FL on Sunday, January 21st, 2001 # 225 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

So many people need you to behave in a certain way for them to feel good. They condemn you for your selfishness. "How dare you be so selfish as to follow what makes you feel good? You should follow what makes us feel good." At an early age, you were convinced that you weren't smart enough to know and that somebody else should make the decisions... You could not live in this culture during the times of your life without getting a huge amount of information relative to that, just in the way people respond to the things you do and say. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Rafael, CA on Saturday, February 21st, 2004 # 224 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 # 223 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

When that which is god — or that which is that which man wants to call "God" — is being understood by man, man has to translate it into the format he understands. But this Energy, this Source that man is giving the label of "God", cannot be quantified in anything that man understands. And as man attempts to do it, the distortions are enormous. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, August 4th, 2001 # 222 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The realization that something is not as you want it to be is an important first step, but once you have identified that, the faster you are able to turn your attention in the direction of a solution, the better, because a continuing exploration of the problem will prevent you from finding the solution. The problem is a different vibrational frequency than the solution—and  all  thoughts (or vibrations) are affected by (or managed by) the  Law of Attraction. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" # 221 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

No matter what it is, if you really want it, and if you get out of the way of it, it will happen. It must be. It is Law. It can be no other way. It's the way this Universe is established. If you want it and you relax, it will happen. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Cincinnati, OH on Saturday, September 21st, 2002 # 220 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You are adaptive Beings. And you're not finished as a species in your evolution. You are as unevolved now to what you will be 2000 years from now, or a million years from now—as the relics that you are digging up of the cave man. You are…we are all eternally continuing to evolve. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Kansas City, MO on Wednesday, September 15th, 2004 # 219 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Is it an employment "opportunity" or bondage? Because what you really want is freedom, many of you equate working for other people as bondage. But if you would realize that the corporation, as an entity, is not so different from the individual, it might be easier to understand the employer's decisions. Long before the buildings or the workers, the visionary of the corporation had an idea for something that began summoning Energy. So years later maybe you are hired as a part of that team and, without realizing it, you are now the beneficiary of that continuing flowing Energy. When you step into one of those employment positions, Life Force is summoned through you because of the vision of the founder—unless you're bucking the current. Most get into that fast moving stream and paddle against the current—and then complain about it being a hard ride—where they could get into their canoe and easily paddle with the fast moving current. You can soar and thrive in any environ

 When you offer a vibration, the Universal forces are working in concert with each other in order to satisfy you. You really are the center of the Universe. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Silver Spring, MD on Saturday, April 19th, 1997 # 217 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

There is not something you're supposed to do. There's not something that you should do. There is only that which you are inspired to do. And how do you get inspired except by the contrast? It's the life experience that gives you the idea of the desire, and then as you focus upon the desire, the Energy flows. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Philadelphia, PA on Tuesday, April 14th, 1998 # 216 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Those that we see who are living long lives don't do so without powerful intent that keeps drawing. In other words, what continues the motion forward itself is the continuing setting forth of the new intent that draws life through. In fact, intending for long life assures that you must be leading the parade; people don't start diminishing their life until they stop leading and start falling back into the ranks of the parade, trying to do what others are leading them to do. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Buffalo, NY on Tuesday, May 20th, 2003 # 215 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

All of you are allowing through the crack of least resistance. So there are a combination of factors. The degree of desire is a factor. In other words, the amount of pulling power that's going on is a factor. Someone could really, really, really, want something, and could really, really, really, be disallowing it — but because they want it instensely they get it, but it comes the hard way. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Cincinnati, OH on Saturday, July 15th, 2000 # 214 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Parents often think that they are here to guide the little ones. When - in reality - the little ones come forth with clarity to guide you. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Orlando, FL on Saturday, February 15th, 1997 # 213 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Your world is pointing toward an insistence on conformity which is causing you enormous grief. It's what's at the heart of all of your religious battles, and religious battles are what are at the heart of all of your battles. In other words, all of your wars and global irritation with one another are over your determination to promote sameness. Your democracy insists that it's the only government that works. And every religion (it's interesting to note) proclaims that  it  is the only one that works. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Kansas City, MO on Wednesday, September 15th, 2004 # 212 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The Law of Attraction says that that which is like unto itself, is drawn.  In other words, that which you think, in any moment, attracts unto itself other thoughts that are like it. That is why whenever you are thinking about a subject that is not pleasant, in a very short period of time, most of you, upon any subject that you ponder very long, attract enough supporting data that it does bring forth the essence of the subject of the thought into your experience. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" # 211 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You are extensions of Non-physical Energy, taking thought beyond which it has been before, and through contrast, you will come to conclusions or decision. And once you align with your desire, the Energy that creates worlds will flow through you...which means enthusiasm and passion and triumph. That is your destiny. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Silver Spring, MD on Saturday, April 19th, 1997 # 210 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

We want you to understand that abundance expands proportionately to match desire, and that there is great untapped abundance not yet allowed by the very humans who have created it. When your life experience causes a focused desire within you, the means to fulfill that desire is created at the same time—but you have to be on the Vibrational wavelength with your desire in order to see the path to the fulfillment of it. A belief in  shortage  or  lack  will prevent your discovery of the path to your own creation, and any feeling of resistance indicates that you are on the wrong Vibrational path. However, in your understanding of the never-ending  abundance  of this Universe, you will feel personal delight whenever you observe anyone’s alignment with it, for their achievement can in no way diminish yours, but can only enhance it. As you focus upon your breathing and the music and words of your meditation recording, you will deactivate your usual resistance to abundance, and you will

Be easy about it. Don't rush into things. Savor them more. Make more plans and be more deliberate and specific about the plans that you are making; and in all that you do, let your dominant intent be to find that which pleasures you as you imagine it. Let your desire for pleasure — your desire for feeling good — be your only guiding light. As you seek those thoughts that feel good, you will always be in vibrational harmony with the Energy that is your Source. And, under those conditions, only good can come to you; and only good can come from you. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Philadelphia, PA on Tuesday, April 14th, 1998 # 208 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don't allow the happy moment, because they're so busy trying to get a happy life. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Sacramento, CA on Saturday, March 15th, 2003 # 207 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Most rarely align with their true power, because it seems illogical to them that there is power in relaxation, in letting go, or in love or joy or bliss. Most people do not understand that their true power lies in releasing resistance—which is the only obstacle to their true power. Most people do not expect their path to great abundance to be one of ease and of joy. They have been taught that struggle and hardship and sacrifice are requirements that must be met before the reward of great abundance can be realized. Most do not understand that the very struggle they deliberately involve themselves in, in their quest for success and advantage, actually works  against  them. There are so many things that you have been taught to believe that are counter to the powerful Laws of the Universe that it is difficult for you to think your way out. And that is the reason that we present this path of much less resistance. We want you to  breathe  rather than  try,  to  relax  rather than of

The one who fears something the most is the one who has it most activated in their vibration. And so, it is logical that they would experience it. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Tarrytown, NY on Saturday, May 10th, 2003 # 205 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

I Can Always Enter My Vibrational Vortex of Creation...  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 the state of appreciation —  and there is no more important object of attention to which you must flow your appreciation than that of self. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book,  The Vortex,  Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships  # 204 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 # 203 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

This physical environment is your playground of expansion and, without it, the Universe could not expand in the way that it does. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, February 2nd, 1997 # 202 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

I Have Complete Control Over My Own Thoughts...  You can find yourself in an endless loop where you explain that you feel negative because of the negative behavior of someone else. But if, instead, you take control of your own emotions and you think an improved thought because it feels better to do so, you will discover that no matter how the negative trend got started, you can turn it around.  You have no real control of what anyone else is doing with their Vibration (or with their actions, for that matter), but you have complete control over your own thoughts, Vibrations, emotions, and point of attraction. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book,  The Vortex,  Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships  # 201 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

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 # 200 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Are we for marriage? Yes. Are we for divorce? Yes. Are we for monogamy? Yes. All of you have different ways of satisfying your desires, and all of it is appropriate or not. And only you, individually, know if it is appropriate or inappropriate unto you in this moment. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, July 24th, 1999 # 199 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Get so fixated on what you want, that you drown out any vibration or reverberation that has anything to do with what you do not want. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Boston, MA on Saturday, October 2nd, 2004 # 198 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Someone asked us recently, "Is there any limitation to the body's ability to heal?" And we said, "None other than the belief that you hold." And he said, "Then why aren't people growing new limbs?" And we said, "Because no one believes that they can." --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Rafael, CA on Saturday, February 27th, 1999 # 197 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If you decide to make someone the enemy and you're pushing very hard against them, you don't affect them at all, but you disconnect yourself from the Stream. If someone cheats you, they cannot diminish your experience. They only diminish their experience. You cannot be diminished by someone cheating you unless you get all upset about being cheated and push against them and use that as your excuse to disconnect from the Stream. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Diego, CA on Saturday, July 25th, 1998 # 196 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

There are always those who thrive when masses are dying of sickness. There are always those who thrive economically when economic decline seems to be the order of your nation. There are always those who are clear-minded in environments of confusion. You do not need everyone or anyone else to align with your desire—only you need to align with your desire. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, March 8th, 2003 # 195 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The subject of money is really two subjects: (1) money, plenty of money, and (2) absence of money, not nearly enough money. Often people assume that because they are speaking the words "I want more money," they are speaking positively about money. When you are feeling fear or discomfort as you speak, you are not speaking of the subject of money, you are speaking of the subject of not enough money. And the difference is very important, because the first statement brings money and the second holds it away. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" # 194 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The Law of Attraction  is responding to your thought, not to your current reality. When you change the thought, your reality must follow suit. If things are going well for you, then focusing upon what is happening now will cause the well-being to continue, but if there are things happening now that are not pleasing, you must find a way of taking your attention away from those unwanted things. You have the ability to quickly change your patterns of thought, and eventually… your life experience. Take 15 minutes daily, thinking of pleasant scenarios regarding your body, with the sole intent of enjoying your body and appreciating its strength and stamina and flexibility and beauty. When you visualize for the joy of visualizing rather than with the intention of correcting some deficiency, your thoughts are more pure and, therefore, more powerful. When you visualize to overcome something that is wrong, your thoughts are diluted with the "lackful" side of the equation. In time,

Your ability to imagine will help the next logical steps come to you faster. Work the bugs out in your imagination. You don't have to build little things and bigger things. You can do it all in your mind. We're not talking about the next logical action step. Use your imagination until your big dream feels so familiar that the manifestation is the next logical step. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, November 1st, 1998 # 192 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

This important subject of  money  and  financial success  is not the "root of all evil" as many have quoted—nor is it the path to happiness. So when you are able to successfully control something like the subject of money that affects most of you all day, every day, you will have accomplished something rather significant—for not only is it certain that your financial success must improve, but the evidence of  that success will then prepare you for deliberate improvement in  every  aspect of your life experience. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" # 191 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Law of Attraction  says, "That which is like unto itself is drawn." Vibrations are always matched. So, as you experience the contrast which inspires the new desire, this new desire, whether it is a strong one or a soft one, is summoning unto itself proportionately. And as it summons, it is always answered. It is the basis of our Universe: When it is asked, it is always given. Humans think they are asking with their words, or even with their action — and sometimes you are — but the Universe is not responding to your words or your action. The Universe is responding to your vibrational calling. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Cincinnati, OH on Saturday, July 15th, 2000 # 190 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Get out into the sunlight — out where everything is — with a vibration that is so dominant that those who annoy you; those who don't agree with you; those who make your life feel uncomfortable don't come into your experience, because your vibration — through your practice — has become so clear, so pure, so clean, so in keeping with what you want, that the world that revolves around you just feels like that. That's what you planned. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Rafael, CA on Friday, March 9th, 2001 # 189 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 —it's not the completion of anything. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, November 1st, 1998 # 188 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Abraham is a Nonphysical Energy present in all things that are physical. Source Energy. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Lincroft, NJ on Tuesday, October 15th, 1996 # 187 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

There are no happier people on this planet than those who decide that they want something, define what they want, get hold of the feeling of it even before it's manifestation and then joyously watch the unfolding as, piece by piece by piece, it begins to unfold. That's the feeling of your hands in the clay. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, August 18th, 2001 # 186 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Desires and beliefs are just thoughts and thoughts. "Ask and it is given?" You ask through your wanting. You ask through your desire. That thing you call desire. That's the asking. You don't have to use your words. You just have to feel it in your being — that spark of desire. "I desire this. I want this. I adore this. I embrace this. I appreciate this. I..." That desire is the beginning of all attraction. The desire is what puts the eternalness in eternity. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Diego, CA on Saturday, February 7th, 1998 # 185 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You are perceptual beings with different vantage points and — it does not matter how much information is given — you cannot see beyond the vibrational limits of where you are standing. You cannot live or see or experience outside of your own individual beliefs. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Dallas, TX on Saturday, March 13th, 1999 # 184 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 # 183 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 # 182 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Attempting to Control Others Attracts More to Be Controlled...  It is easy to understand how you would come to the conclusion that your path to feeling good is through influencing or controlling the behavior of others. But as you attempt to control them (through influence or coercion), you discover that not only can you not contain them - but your attention to them brings more like them into your experience.  You simply cannot get to where you want to be by controlling or eliminating the unwanted. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book,  The Vortex,  Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships  # 181 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The majority have been programmed from their past experience to expect physical decline. And while it is something they don't want, they are programmed to expect it. And so, they're going to get what they expect. It's not that what they expect is the reality that everyone lives, but that everyone lives the reality of what they expect. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Philadelphia, PA on Wednesday, May 7th, 2003 # 180 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The child is thinking, and receiving vibrational thought from you on the day that he enters your environment. That is the reason that beliefs are transmitted so easily from parent to child, from parent to child, from parent to child. The child is vibrationally receiving your fears, your beliefs, even without your spoken word...  If you want to do that which is of greatest value for your child, give thought only to that which you want, and your child will receive only those wanted thoughts. --- Abraham Excerpted from "The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham" # 179 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

One who is mostly an observer thrives in good times but suffers in bad times because what he is observing is already vibrating, and as he observes it, he includes it in his vibrational countenance. As he includes it, the Universe accepts that as his point of attraction and gives him more of it. So the better it gets the better it gets. Or the worse it gets the worse it gets. While one who is a visionary thrives in all times. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Portland, OR on Tuesday, June 10th, 1997 # 178 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 # 177

Make a decision of what you want, give your attention there, find the feeling place of it — and you're there instantly. There is no reason for you to suffer or struggle your way to or through anything. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Kansas City, MO on Sunday, August 29th, 1999 # 176 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Nothing is more debilitating than to care about something you can't do anything about. And you can't do anything about your adult children. You can want better for them, and maybe even begin to provide something for them, but in the long run, you cannot do anything about someone else's vibration other than hold them in the best light you can, mentally, and then project that to them. And sometimes, distance makes that much more possible than being up close to them. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Ashland, OR on Saturday, July 19th, 2003 # 175 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

"I must be aware of bad things, and guarded about bad things, and I must watch out for bad things by trying to guide myself toward good things." You can't do both at the same time. You can't watch out for bad things, and allow good things at the same time. It is vibrationally not possible. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, March 10th, 2001 # 174 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

We would like you to reach the place where you're not willing to listen to people criticize one another… where you take no satisfaction from somebody being wrong… where it matters to you so much that you feel good, that you are only willing to think positive things about people…you are only willing to look for positive aspects; you are only willing to look for solutions, and you are not willing to beat the drum of all of the problems of the world. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Cincinnati, OH on Wednesday, September 22nd, 2004 # 173 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

When you begin to understand  Law of Attraction , and you understand that which is like unto itself is drawn, then it is easier and easier to understand that you are offering a signal, and the entire Universe responds. And when you finally get that, and you begin to exercise some deliberate control about the signal that you offer, then it really begins to be fun, because then you recognize that nothing happens outside of your creative control. There are no things that happen by chance or by circumstance. There is nothing that is happening because of something you vibrated a long time ago or in a past life. It is not about what you were born into. It is only about what you are, right now, in this red hot fresh moment emitting. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Seattle, WA on Saturday, June 20th, 1998 # 172 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Every emotion, from despair all of the way up to ecstasy; from complete Connection to who-you-really-are, all the way to pinching yourself off pretty severely,  all of those emotions are about your perception of freedom, or your perception of bondage—every one of them. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Orlando, FL on Saturday, January 22nd, 2005 # 171 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Trust that they're making their lives work in the way that they're making their lives work. And just teach through the power of your example. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Boise, ID on Wednesday, July 3rd, 2002 # 170 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

I want to be the best that I can be. I want to do and have and live in a way that is in harmony with my idea of the greatest goodness. I want to harmonize physically here in this body with that which I believe to be the best, or the good way, of life.  If you will make those statements, and then do not take action unless you feel good, you will always be moving upon the path in harmony with your idea of that which is good. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" # 169 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You're always on your way somewhere. The key is: find a way to be happy wherever you now are on your way to where you really want to be. (We're speaking of the state of being you want.) It does not matter where you are; where you are is shifting constantly - but you must turn your attention to where you want to go. And that's the difference between making the best of something and making the worst of something. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Detroit, MI on Saturday, September 27th, 2003 # 168 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The only way that you can ever know if something is of value to you is by the way it feels as you are receiving it. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Lincroft, NJ on Tuesday, October 15th, 1996 # 167 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Once you are able to achieve and consistently maintain your personal alignment, a great deal of money will flow into your experience (if that is your desire). Do not let others set the standards about how much money you should have— or about what you should do with it— for you are the only one who could ever accurately define that. Come into alignment with  who-you-really-are,  and allow the things that life has helped you to know that you want to flow into your experience. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" # 166 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Some things you're not letting happen right now because the timing isn't perfect for you. Some you're not letting happen because you are very aware of where you are. But all things, as they are happening, are happening in perfect order. And if you will relax and begin saying, "Everything in its perfect time. Everything is unfolding. And I'm enjoying where I am now, in relationship to where I'm going. Content where I am, and eager for more," that is the perfect vibrational stance. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Kansas City, KS on Wednesday, September 17th, 2003 # 165 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 # 164 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If you're not selfish enough to want to feel good, then you can't connect with the energy that is your Source which does always feel good. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Lincroft, NJ on Tuesday, October 15th, 1996 # 163 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 # 162 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

True healers know that wellness is the order of the day, so they do not allow themselves, even for a moment, to see anything other than that. So, the power of the healer is in the power to influence the one who needs to be healed into a vibration that allows the healing that they are summoning. (that they  could get, even without the healer, but they can get faster with a healer's influence) --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, July 30th, 2005 # 161 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

What "moving thought forward" is, is about being a nucleus that attracts different components of thought so that when they actualize around you — it is different than it has ever been before! "As I stand in my focused, human, leading-edge experience, and I choose this combination of thoughts and feelings, I am offering a signal that has never been offered before. And so, the Universe must uniquely yield to me, which causes me to offer a vibration that maybe someone somewhere else is matching. If they are, they will certainly come into my experience for the time that we are matching it." That is the way you affect the world. Most think in terms of thought affecting the world: You think about transmitting outward: "I'm going to affect the world from my outgoing signal." That isn't the way it works. You affect the world by achieving the vibration that brings the signals to you. You create a nucleus that Universe has to respond around. That is how you

Resistance is about believing that you are vulnerable or susceptible to something not wanted and holding a stance of protection — which only holds you in a place of not letting in the Well-being that would be there otherwise. There is nothing big enough to protect you from unwanted things, and there are no unwanted things big enough to get into your experience. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Atlanta, GA on Saturday, November 4th, 2000 # 159 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

My Every Thought Is Attracting Its Vibrational Essence...  Whether you are thinking about  wanted things or  unwanted  things, you are still sending out a “request” to  attract  more things like the subject of your thought. And all things that happen to you - all people, things, experiences, situations that come to you - come in response to your Vibrational invitation. Noticing how things are turning out for you is one very clear way of understanding which Vibrational requests you are emanating, because you always get the essence of what you are thinking about, whether you want it or not. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book,  The Vortex,  Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships  # 158 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Everything is happening in the moment. So as you are offering a vibration in your now, you are receiving the result of that vibration. When you make your transition into the Non-physical, you re-emerge into Pure Positive Energy, and you leave all resistance behind. Everyone who makes their transition reaps the glory of Pure Positive Energy. That is really upsetting to those who want the bad ones to be punished. But it does not happen. Punishment is a concoction of man's disconnected mind. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Boston, MA on Sunday, October 10th, 1999 # 157 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

What is it all about? To get things done? No! Because you do them, and you undo them, and you do them, and you undo them, and you do them, and you undo them... What is the point in all of it? It is the thrill of the process along the way. Physical human minds keeps thinking, "We have to be going towards some end." And you kill each other by the millions trying to decide what is the appropriate end that you are all going toward. And we say: well, there's your flawed premise. Because there is no end that you're going toward. We are all on a perpetual cycle of joyous becoming. We will never get it done, ever, ever, ever, ever. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Spokane, WA on Tuesday, May 30th, 2000 # 156 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Nonphysical is not asking you to ascribe to some specific label or stand in specific corners or in specific synagogues or churches with specific words. You are beings who are blessed and who are deserving of Well-being, and you will find your Well-being in many different ways — and the labels simply do not matter. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Dallas, TX on Saturday, March 13th, 1999 # 155 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Every moment of your experience is the peak of life experience. This is where your powerful now is. This is where the desire is radiating from you and is being allowed by you. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Houston, TX on Saturday, January 5th, 2002 # 154 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Have you heard the expression, "We're either growing or we're dying."? Well, what they're saying is, "You can't stand still." We are either giving our attention to where we're going or we're giving attention to where we've been or we're giving our attention to where we are, but in any case, wherever we're giving our attention is our vibration, and the Universe is matching it. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Syracuse, NY on Tuesday, October 13th, 1998 # 153 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You will never reach the place where you will not need to be diligent about your choice of thought. Because you live in a world that is determined to show you every pocket of despair. So you must diligently choose. But it gets easier and easier and easier to do so. Right now, it may feel to you like those moments of Connection are the rare ones. There will be a time when those moments of Connection will feel so normal that it will shock you when you get into a place of disconnection. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Antonio, TX on Saturday, November 24th, 2001 # 152 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

We're not wanting to be insensitive to what so many of you are feeling, but we are very much wanting you to put this death thing in the proper perspective: You are all going to die! Except there is no death. You're all going to make your transition into Non-Physical. It is time to stop making your transition into Non-Physical sound like a subject that is uncomfortable and begin acknowledging that it is something that happens to everyone. This death thing is so misunderstood that you use it to torture yourself never-endingly and just absolutely unnecessarily. There are those who feel such fulfillment of life and such Connection to Source Energy, who understand that there is no separation between what is physical and Non-Physical; who understand that there is not even a lapse in consciousness, that "death" is a matter of closing one's eyes in this dimension and literally opening one's eyes in the other dimension. And that, truly, is how all death is, no matter h

Start taking pleasure from your inner reality. Most people are approaching this backwards. Most people are saying, "Okay, I want that, and I am not fulfilled until I get that manifestation." The reason for that promise of manifestation out there, to begin with, is that it gives you the reason to play the game in the inner reality. It is your imagination, it is the feeling of Energy flowing through you that is life.' --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Kansas City, KS on Sunday, September 27th, 1998 # 150 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You are meant to succeed, and failure  should  feel bad to you. Life is supposed to go well for you—and when it does not— there is something wrong. But what is wrong is not something that is outside of you over which you have no control. What is wrong is within you, and you do have control. And taking control is not difficult to do once you understand the basis of  who-you-are  and the basics of the  Law of Attraction and the value of your personal  Emotional Guidance System. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" # 149 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Rather than wanting to hold to the past longer and slow things down and stop the aging process — just revel in the power of now! You can't stop time, and you won't stop the recycling process that is taking place upon this planet, nor would you want to — but you do not have to suffer the moving through time. Every moment can be more wonderful than the moment before. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Houston, TX on Saturday, January 5th, 2002 # 148 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

A young Palestinian man was found in Israel; he had a bomb strapped to him. And when it detonated, it didn't detonate properly and he was wounded. But he did not get the triumphant results that he was seeking; he did not blow himself up and the people that were around him. And so he was captured. And when the newsman was asking him, why did you do this? He said, "They killed my friend and I wanted to die." In other words, it was that simple: "They killed my friend and I wanted to die." We think that those pure and simple words speak to this (Middle East Crisis) more clearly than all other words that have been spoken. It is that feeling that you've done this to me, so I'll do this to you, then you'll do this to me, and then I'll do this to you. And what happens in that is: It just gets bigger and bigger, and bigger. And no one ever wins. There is no triumph that ever comes from any of that. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Albany, NY o

It is your rules that make unlawful beings. You would get along better if you would just trust each other to treat each other appropriately, but you don't. So you keep making laws — until you make criminals of everyone. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, April 25th, 1999 # 146 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

We would like you to release the word "achieve" or "earn" from your vocabulary and from your understanding, altogether; and we would like you to replace those words with the word "allow". You're wanting to allow your Well-being, not achieve it. It's not something that you need to earn. All you have to do is decide what it is you would like to experience, and then allow it in order to achieve it. It isn't something you have to struggle for or try for. You are all worthy beings. You are deserving of this Well-being. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Detroit, MI on Saturday, July 8th, 2000 # 145 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You see, when you are focused upon the  desire  for the money, and taking score of the  absence  of the money, you are Vibrationally defeating your own purpose. And so, as you allow the Law-based words of our meditation recording to play gently in the background of your mind, your resistance to Well-Being will become less, while your allowing of Well-Being will become more. You have only to remember that, at first, the evidence of your improved state of allowing comes in the form of good-feeling emotions, not in the form of stuff. But eventually the money and the new stuff will come, too. --- Abraham Excerpted from the  Getting into the Vortex Guided Meditation CD and User Guide  # 144 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 # 143 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Who you are and what you know when you are born is everything that you need to know to thrive. You are born with a sense of self and a sense of wanting self to feel good and the mechanisms to bring it about. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Kansas City, KS on Wednesday, September 17th, 2003 # 142 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You are all perfect and expanding; you are all adored and worthy; you are all here having your exposure to experiences and doing the best that you can from where you are. You have not been sent here in a test or trial; you're here as creators as part of an expanding Universe. You can't have it both ways. You can't have, at the root of that which you are, Well-Being, and then have that same root of Well-Being have the capacity to pronounce you evil. It is vibrationally impossible. That judging, vengeful God is manufactured from humans' place of deepest despair. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Fort Collins, CO on Saturday, June 19th, 2004 # 141 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You are the vibrational writers of the script of your life, and everyone else in the Universe is playing the part that you have assigned to them. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Sunday, March 2nd, 1997 # 140 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

As you look for a better-feeling way to approach whatever you are giving your attention to; as you continue to ask yourself from your ever-changing vantage point, "What is it that I  do  want?"... Eventually you will be standing in a very pleasing place—for you cannot continually ask yourself what it is that you  do  want without your point of attraction beginning to pivot in that direction. The process will be gradual, but your continued application of the process will yield wonderful results in only a few days. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" # 139 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Always, when you know what you don't want, that's when the rocket of desire is born of what you do want. That is the fruit of your experience. Now pluck it and savor it and enjoy it. Visualize it, and find the feeling place of it. And live happily ever after, once you get the hang of this. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Spokane, WA on Wednesday, July 7th, 1999 # 138 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Many people are wanting to fan your flames of discomfort, because they believe that "you're either with us or against us; if you don't stand in the same disgust and horror that we are all standing, then you are not with us." It's hard for people to understand that you can not agree with them — and not be against them. That you could be for something without being against something else. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Orlando, FL on Saturday, December 15th, 2001 # 137 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Life is supposed to be fun. You said, "I'll go forth and choose. I'll look at the data, and I'll say yes to this and yes to this and yes to this; and I'll paint a picture of the things that I want, and I'll vibrate about them because that's what I'm giving my attention to. And the Universe will respond to my vibration. And then I'll stand in a new place where a whole new batch of yeses are available, and I'll say yes to this and yes to this and yes to this." You did not say, "I'll go forth and struggle into joy," because from your Nonphysical Perspective you know it is vibrationally not possible. You cannot struggle to joy. Struggle and joy are not on the same channel. You joy your way to joy. You laugh your way to success. It is through your joy that good things come. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, August 2nd, 1998 # 136 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Death is an inevitable cycle. But sickness before death is a symptom of resistance. Most people think they've got to get sick to die. But, you could be like the cat who chooses to get run over. Or, you could just lie down in your bed happily one night, so content and thoughtless, wanting nothing in this physical world; and just reemerge into Pure Positive Energy... You can play it out any way you choose. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Sedona, AZ on Saturday, August 27th, 2005 # 135 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If there is not something out here on the leading edge summoning what has come before it to it, then eventually there must be endedness. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, March 1st, 1997 # 134 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The Thoughts I Think Determine the Relationship I Attract...  You are the thinking, Vibrating  attractor of your experience; and the thoughts you think determine everything about the life that you live. As you turn your attention toward the positive aspects of the personalities and behaviors of others with whom you share your planet, you will train your  point of attraction  in the direction of only what you desire.  Not only does the power of your thought determine which people make their way into your life, but the power of your thought determines how they behave once they get there. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book,  The Vortex,  Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships  # 133 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

It is very difficult to understand what anybody else's experience is. There aren't enough words to really understand what anybody else is living. Physical beings want things to be the same. They want people to think the same. You work rather hard at sameness, but you will never win that battle because, from Nonphysical, diversity is known to be the most beneficial part of the game. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Maui, HI on Sunday, December 14th, 1997 # 132 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The most significant thing for a parent to contribute to anyone is their own Connection and their own stability. An effective parent is a happy parent. An effective parent is a parent who laughs easily and often; and who doesn't take things so seriously. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Albany, NY on Monday, October 1st, 2001 # 131 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Make the best of where you are and do your best to line up your Energy from where you are, because any bit of struggle or any bit of regret only holds your cork under the water and doesn't allow you to connect with the Energy that would allow anything to improve. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Silver Spring, MD on Saturday, April 19th, 1997 # 130 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

What makes people decline is that they start forking in the direction that doesn't allow them to be the receivers of this never-ending Stream of Well- Being. You don't have to decline... "Happy, healthy, happy, healthy, happy, healthy, happy, healthy, dead!" That's Esther's plan... --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Diego, CA on Saturday, August 13th, 2005 # 129 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You can never have a happy ending at the end of an unhappy journey; it just doesn't work out that way. The way you're feeling, along the way, is the way you're continuing to pre-pave your journey, and it's the way it's going to continue to turn out until you do something about the way you are feeling. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in West Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, August 6th, 2005 # 128 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You are on the leading edge of thought, taking thought beyond that which it has been before. Who cares what thoughts have led up to this. You're standing in the fresh now, and many of the thoughts that you vehemently oppose are the very thoughts that have given you the desire that has attracted the clarity of where you now stand. No matter how awful you think they might be, all were of value in the evolution forward. Every one of them. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Philadelphia, PA on Tuesday, April 14th, 1998 # 127 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Law of Attraction  says, "That which is like unto itself is drawn." Which means vibrations are always matched. So as you experience the contrast which inspires the new idea within you, this new idea —this desire — whether it is a strong one or a soft one, is summoning unto itself proportionately. And as it summons, it is always answered. It is the basis of our Universe: When it is asked, it is always given. The confusion that humans feel is that they think they are asking with their words — or even with their action — and sometimes you are. But the Universe is not responding to your words or your action. The Universe is responding to your vibrational calling. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Cincinnati, OH on Saturday, July 15th, 2000 # 126 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You cannot continue to beat the drum of things that don't feel good when you beat them—without filling your future experience full of things that don't feel good. At some point, there's going to be a tipping point that's going to become a manifestation. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Philadelphia, PA on Thursday, May 12th, 2005 # 125 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The most valuable skill or talent that you could ever develop is that of directing your thoughts toward what you want—to be adept at quickly evaluating all situations and then quickly coming to the conclusion of what you most want—and then giving your undivided attention to that. There is a tremendous skill in deliberately directing your own thoughts that will yield results that cannot be compared with results that mere action can provide. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" # 124 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 # 123 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

We didn't say: when you feel good you are allowing good, and when you feel bad you are allowing bad (although it may translate into your experience in that way). There is only a Source of Well-being—which you are allowing or not. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Ashland, OR on Saturday, July 20th, 2002 # 122 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Who you really are is Nonphysical Energy focused in a physical body, knowing full well that all is well and always has been and always will be. You are here to experience the supreme pleasure of concluding new desires, and then of bringing yourself into vibrational alignment with the new desire that you've concluded — for the purpose of taking thought beyond that which it has been before. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Cleveland, OH on Tuesday, July 11th, 2000 # 121 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The more you say "I don't remember," the more you cannot remember. You cannot find something that's "lost". When you've decided that it's lost, when it's lost to you, it is lost. The Universe could not possibly show it to you. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Syracuse, NY on Tuesday, October 14th, 1997 # 120 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 # 119 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

All is well, and you will never get it done. Life is supposed to be fun. No one is taking score of any kind, and if you will stop taking score so much, you will feel a whole lot better — and as you feel a whole lot better, more of the things that you want right now will flow to you. You will never be in a place where all of the things that you are wanting will be satisfied right now, or then you could be complete — and you never can be. This incomplete place that you stand is the best place that you could be. You are right on track, right on schedule. Everything is unfolding perfectly. All is really well. Have fun. Have fun. Have fun! --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Tucson, AZ on Tuesday, February 20th, 2001 # 118 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" # 117 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You cannot get sick enough to help sick people get better. You cannot get poor enough to help poor people thrive. It is only in your thriving that you have anything to offer anyone. If you're wanting to be of an advantage to others, be as tapped in, turned in, turned on as you can possibly be. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Diego, CA on Saturday, February 15th, 2003 # 116 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

If we were talking to you on your first day here we would say, "Welcome to planet Earth. There is nothing that you cannot be or do or have. And your work here—your lifetime career—is to seek joy. "As you think thoughts that feel good to you, you will be in harmony with  who-you-really-are.  And in doing so you will utilize your profound freedom.  Seek joy first, and all of the growth that you could ever imagine will come joyously and abundantly unto you. " --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" # 115 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Your child is naturally joyful. Your child is naturally tuned in to Source Energy. And as he is diving through and digging through contrast, it is natural that there would be some things that might disconnect him. Just don't let his disconnection then inflame your disconnection. Many parents have discovered that their children, for the most part, feel good when they do — and the ornerier you are, usually the ornerier your children are. They are a strong reflection of the way you are feeling much of the time. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Antonio, TX on Saturday, January 26th, 2002 # 114 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

As you deliberately look for positive aspects in others who surround you, you will train your Vibrational propensity into increasing improved Vibrations. So it does not matter how many negative thoughts you have thought before, or how long you have been negatively focused. You can deliberately focus—right now—on an improved thought. Because the  Law of Attraction  is responding to your current thought, more thoughts like that current thought are most likely to come into focus for you. In other words, the  Law of Attraction (that which is like unto itself, is drawn)  will continue to dish up for you more and more thoughts that match your current Vibrational frequency. And so, the more you deliberately choose better-feeling thoughts, the more easy and ready access you will have to much better-feeling thoughts. We teach meditation because it is actually easier, in some situations, to help you find “no thought” than to find a positive thought. . . . There is no better path to wonderful,
