Daily Quotes from Abraham

  Expectation indicates the juncture between where you are and where you want to be. Where you want to be is your desire, and where you are is your Set-point or habit of thought. And, somewhere in there, is what we would call expectation. Expectation, whether it is wanted or unwanted, is a powerful point of attraction. Your expectation is always what you believe. But the word expectation does imply more what you are wanting than what you are not wanting. It is a more positive word than it is a negative word. But of course, you could expect negatively—and whatever you expect, you will get! --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Orlando, FL on Saturday, December 20th, 2003 # 304 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

  Esther said to us, "Abraham, how come you guys (meaning nonphysical entities) can't get your stories straight? This one says this. That one says that. If we have been talking to God, why doesn't God say the same thing to everyone? Why isn't everybody getting the same message?" And we said, "Everybody isn't asking the same question. Everybody is not at the same point of understanding. Everybody is not even wanting the same thing." We are all about eternalness which means we are about difference. It is in our difference that desires of all kinds come forth, and as all of these new desires pop up, every one of them, even in their difference, is important. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Saturday, July 11th, 1998 # 303 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You just cannot kill everybody who doesn't agree with you. You can't do it. You'll kill enough of them, and pretty soon, you'll be down to the nitty gritty that is just   you   guys, and then   you'll   start disagreeing with each other... In other words, you cannot get to where you want to be by pushing against what you do not want—it never, ever works. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Washington, DC on Saturday, May 7th, 2005 # 302 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

  We want you to enjoy the contrasting experience, just like you enjoy the contrasting buffet. And we want you to reach the place (and practicing Virtual Reality will help you to gain this confidence) that whenever you're in front of a buffet that has so much that you do like to eat, as well as some that you don't like to eat, you don't feel frustrated that there are things there you don't want to eat. You don't feel compelled to put them on your plate and eat them; you just pick the things that you like. And the Universe of thought is the same way. You can choose from it the things that you like. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Salt Lake City, UT on Saturday, June 29th, 2002 # 301 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

  The person that needs to do something is not that person. The person that needs to do something is you! Some of those people in your life do not deserve your good thoughts. In other words, "They are bad. They are evil. They are wrong! They are inappropriate. They do not deserve your good thoughts," and you stubbornly are not going to give them any. They may not deserve your good thoughts. But you do. You deserve your good thoughts about them. This is what the Art of Allowing is. It's allowing my own Well-being. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Rafael, CA on Friday, March 9th, 2001 # 300 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

  You have to find a way to be all right with thriving because you are always going to want to thrive. The economy is moving forward in response to the desires of people. And depriving yourself of something does not make more money for someone else to spend. If there were not people who were purchasing things, then all of the people who are working at manufacturing and marketing them would have to find some other ways of making their living. There are so many people who innately want to thrive, who as soon as they begin thriving a little, begin imposing all of these exterior judgements about how much thriving is appropriate, "It's appropriate to thrive that much, but not that much." And you have to ask yourself, "At what point do I lose the balance of thriving?" --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Detroit, MI on Saturday, September 27th, 2003 # 299 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

  When you reach for the thought that feels better, the Universe is now responding differently to you because of that effort. And so, the things that follow you get better and better, too. So it gets easier to reach for the thought that feels better, because you are on ever-increasing, improving platforms that feel better. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, March 11th, 2000 # 298 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

  My Attention to Unwanted Can't Defy the Law of Attraction...   If your life has caused you to ask for an improved situation—no matter what it is—and you are no longer offering chronic thought-Vibrations that are opposite of your desire, your desire must come to you. But you cannot continue to keep alive within you Vibrational patterns of what you do not want, and receive what you do want. That defies the   Law of Attraction . --- Abraham Excerpted from the book,  The Vortex,  Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships  # 297 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You cannot judge the value of a life by its quantity. It is by the joy that you are feeling. The more joyful you are, the longer you live. Let yourself relax and breathe and be free and be joyous, and romp. The optimum physical life experience is to have plenty of things that stimulate you to desire, and an awareness of the way you feel, so you're reaching for thoughts that feel good—so you're wide open, so you're tuned in, tapped in, and turned on. We promise you, the timing of your death is always chosen by you. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Saturday, September 7th, 2002 # 296 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" # 295 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Every bit of it is about economics. Every bit of it, without exception. Everything about religion is about economics. Everything about politics is about economics. And everything about economics is personal satisfaction. Everyone is personally motivated to do the best that they can possibly do for themselves. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Boulder, CO on Saturday, June 12th, 2004 # 294 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Every living thing, animal or human, or tree experiences that which is called death, with no exception. You've all accepted that one a long time ago. Spirit, which is who we really are, or Source, is eternal. So what death must be is a changing of the perspective of that Eternal Spirit. If I am standing in my physical body and am consciously connected to that Eternal Spirit, then I'm Eternal in nature and I need not ever again fear any endedness, because, from that perspective I understand that there is not any of that. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Albany, NY on Saturday, May 6th, 2000 # 293 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

We are really advocates of just getting as happy as you can be—which takes care of everything. Even if you don't have reason to be happy—make it up. Fantasize it. Make a decision that you're going to be happy one way or another—no matter what. "No matter what, I'm going to be happy! If I have to ignore everybody; if I have to never watch television again; if I have to never pick up a newspaper again, I'm going to be happy. If I never have to see that person's face again, I'm going to be happy. If I have to see that person's face, I'm going to find something to see in that person's face that makes me happy. I'm going to be happy. I'm going to be happy. I'm going to be happy." --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Sacramento, CA on Saturday, March 15th, 2003 # 292 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Start telling a better-feeling story about the things that are important to you. Do not write your story like a factual documentary, weighing all the pros and cons of your experience, but instead tell the uplifting, fanciful, magical story of the wonder of your own life and watch what happens. It will feel like magic as your life begins to transform right before yours eyes, but it is not by magic. It is by the power of the Laws of the Universe and your deliberate alignment with those Laws. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" # 291 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Most of you do not believe that it is your natural state of being to be well. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Boston, MA on Sunday, October 20th, 1996 # 290 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

You're never satisfied. That's what life is, it's just this ongoing, neverending vacation adventure, you see. You can't get it wrong and you never get it done—and we recommend that you have as much fun as you can along the way. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Antonio, TX on Saturday, November 13th, 2004 # 289 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Most people don't think that new-born children could be the Creator of their own reality because they are not even talking yet. But the Universe is not responding to your language, anyway. The Universe is responding to your vibration—and your vibration is about the way you feel. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Seattle, WA on Saturday, June 20th, 1998 # 288 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

These beings, that are acting out in those ways that you find so awful, are tormented and suffering in ways that you will not understand. Their horrible acts are extensions of that pain. We also have to say to you—no one who is not a vibrational match to that could be their victim. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, January 31st, 1999 # 287 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don't want. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Asheville, NC on Saturday, September 5th, 1998 # 286 Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Wellness that is being allowed—or the wellness that is being denied—is all about the mindset, the mood, the attitude, the practiced thoughts. There is not one exception, in any human or beast; because, you can patch them up again and again, and they will just find another way of reverting back to the natural rhythm of their mind. Treating the body really is about treating the mind. It is all psychosomatic. Every bit of it, no exceptions. --- Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in Philadelphia, PA on Monday, May 13th, 2002 # 285 Our Love, Jerry and Esther
