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
