Today was another spectacular day spent with Abraham at a San Francisco seminar! As you may have read in my past blog entries, Abraham is a collective of non-physical beings dedicated to uplifting humanity. They channel their life-affirming messages through a woman named Esther Hicks, who latest book, Money and the Law of Attraction recently reached #1 on the New York Times Best Seller List! (Note that her brand new book, The Vortex, is coming out in a few weeks!) It is so beautiful to see what some people may label as "kooky" or "esoteric" saturating the mainstream and turning a positive tide in the consciousness of the planet. I've been following these teachings on and off for four years and recently have jumped in a a very deep level, attending as many seminars as possible and also listening to as many CD's from seminars as possible. It is amazing~ I feel as if I am truly ascending my awareness at a level I have never experienced before.
The Reality of Our "Vibrational Reality"
One of today's main ideas presented by Abraham is that we have a current material reality in which we currently live (which is the less important, "didly-squat", "bouncing-off-place" of contrast from which we launch rockets of what we truly desire) and there is our VIBRATIONAL REALITY, which is the most eternal, dynamic, larger-than-life, frisky and fun, expansive place of our wildest dreams within our Vortex. Abraham repeated again and again how imperative it is that we immerse ourselves in this vibrational reality as our larger and more true experience of our lives. To do this, Abraham suggests that we train ourselves to believe in the validity of the vibrational reality more than physical reality by doing exercises which invite us to speak, think and act "as if" we already live within the conditions which we most desire. "Don't wait!" we were admonished, "don't wait for anyone else to be able to see your vibrational reality before jumping in and living it!"
My Vibrational Reality is An Actual Place I Can Live!
While the idea of "act as if" isn't new, the articulation of this through the metaphor of "your vibrational reality" as an actual place felt much clearer to me. I had this funny visual that I should be announcing to the world I would be having a moving sale, putting up signs, sending mail forwarding cards, and basically tweeting that I am officially moving to my vibrational reality as an actual real place where I could live from everyday! New address, new phone number, new email address, everything. I mean, to completely re-train my perception of reality to correspond to an unseen world of my imagination is pretty profound! I felt as if I was getting to the rock bottom of my consciousness and finding a switch I could throw to activate a complete re-wiring which would allow me to live among those agreeing to consensus reality and yet exist on a totally different wavelength... cool!
I Exist In My Vibrational Reality Right Here, Right Now!
Abraham encouraged us to detect the exact place where our vibrational reality intersects with our material reality and re-program ourselves to gravitate at all times towards the vibrational, expansive possibilities instead of what we actually see, feel, hear or taste. "Faith" was defined as achieving the vibrational frequency of one's desire before material reality or evidence of it's possibility is presented. I LOVED this! It basically implied releasing any and all reliance on evidence, validation or approval from any outside source and 100% trusting inner intuitive conviction. Talk about true independence and freedom! I felt as if they were asking for a big push in the powers of my imagination to expand beyond my current perceptions of who I am and to merge with an endlessly more expansive self TODAY, RIGHT NOW! Imagine, that I could step into the ultimate super-goddess version of my highest potential, ultra-wise and enlightened, endlessly compassionate and loving, overflowing with abundance, health, strength, flexibility and wellbeing~ a joyfully blissed out yogini fairy butterfly empress self right here and now, not "one day when" I was experienced enough, educated enough, wise enough, settled enough, etc. Right here, right now baby! Yes!
There Is A Support Team Focused on My Vibrational Reality 24/7!
Another neat note... Abraham mentioned that since they are not in physical bodies now and are in the swirling mass of co-operative components of the vortex, they always give undivided attention exclusively to our vibrational reality as opposed to our physical reality. I found this idea thrilling! The idea that there are benevolent enlightened beings collectively focusing on my eternal and unlimited potentials 24 hours a day, 365 days a year is so empowering! It is like an intergalactic cheerleading squad of Buddhas always rooting for me to take a leap and expand into my wildest dreams at every moment of my life!
Soul Families
Abe commented on the value of taking time to connect to one's vibrational family of origin and devoting one's self to one's vibrational legacy, connecting with the vast number of all one's brothers and sisters from a non-physical vantage point. That was all that was said, but what immediately came to mind for me was the concept of "soul families", a phrase which refers to idea that there are those who collectively agree before incarnation to share a common sense of purpose and alignment on the physical plane, making "contracts" to fulfill certain life missions of importance. I was craving more information here but no more was revealed... perhaps I will ask about this tomorrow if I get back in the hot seat!
Get Inside the Vortex
The mantra of the last several seminars and basic answer to any inquiry has been, "get in the vortex", meaning, step into total alignment with your inner being and allow yourself to expand into the biggest and best version of you possible. An interesting message which has also been repeated is how important it is to get into the vortex FIRST before doing anything of importance~ a conversation, driving, affirmations, etc (as opposed to doing things as a vehicle to getting into the vortex.) In my imagination, I envisioned some special imaginary magical sparkling and cushy lounge chairs set up in my vortex with cuddly blankets and simply basking in the glory of how great everything is ... and then taking time to contemplate things of importance, including my vibrational reality itself. I love it when I start creating fun visuals to bring the information to life! Abraham reminded us that the next exilerating step will be revealed from within the vortex itself and it was a nice reminder that we don't need to exert effort to seek and get... we just need to prioritize basking and receiving. Sweet!
Love Relationships: Focus on What You Want
There are always great questions that come up around love... Today, Abraham reminded us to stay focused on the traits we want within love relationships and to make lists so we could amplify them as points of attraction and to completely release giving any attention to unwanted parts (by commenting on negative traits from present and past relationships, etc). Another exercise suggested was to identify how you feel great in a relationship, make a list, and do what you need to do to feel that way now outside of one. So wonderfully practical and effective! I need to do these...
Love Relationships: Create an Uplifting Vibrational Version of Loved Ones
Another strong message from Abe was also to release using what we perceive of as "flaws" in another person to justify being in a dischordant relationship with them. This is because the vibration of everyone we interact with is more about our vibration than theirs. For example, one should avoid teaching people that you will rescue them because then they will always give you new reasons to rescue them! The message was repeated again and again in many variations: Just plain STOP incessantly complaining about someone or something else being the reason for you being out of your vortex! This was a great reminder for me since I left my marriage using this very reason ~ that I was happier and more in the vortex outside the relationship than in it (this was explored in my last hot seat experience). In the end I realized I left because I was too weak to stay in alignment with who I was in that relationship. Ah, so much learning...
Love Relationships: Amplify Your Ability To Focus On The Best Possible In Others
Just like last week, we were encouraged to create an uplifting vibrational version of loved ones but to remember that it is not their job to live up to our vibrational version ... it is OURS to persistantly focus on their highest and best selves. I feel like this is such a divine life practice. To hold ourselves to the standard of always seeing the highest and best possible within those who surround us literally feels angelic... it is very challenging for me, yet also very rewarding when I can hold my point of focus on their expansive vibrational reality.
Love Relationships: Love=Alignment
Love was defined as "alignment" and Abraham suggested replacing the word love with alignment to gain a deeper understanding of why. For example, "I alignment you" really suggests that one has done the work to get in the vortex and align and is connecting to another person who has done the same. Love was basically defined as the ultimate expression of getting in the vortex, as if it was all that mattered, and sharing the same frequency with another person who has done the same. Abraham said that "I alignment you" really means the whole of me is flowing through me as I hold you in my attention. Yes! How super healthy and balance is that? Again, I love it.
Abe reminded us it is impossible to "miss" someone when you are in your vortex because when you are fulfilled, in alignment with who you are and Source and everything, how can you possibly be missing anything? If you are missing anything, what you may be missing is the connection you have with who you are when you are with them and calling that inappropriately, "missing them". Abraham encouraged us never to use not being together as an excuse to be out of the vortex. A great synopsis of this perspective would be: I love being in alignment wether I am with you or not.
Love Relationships: It's Really About Me and Me!
Ultimately, love in relationship was defined as being about "me and me". Abe encouraged us to resist training one's self out of alignment to meet the needs, expectations, pressures or dysfunctions of others seeking to change who we are in some way. Abraham reminded us that if we are dependent on another's behavior to feel good that we have to control them in some way in order to keep feeling good or resign to feeling miserable- in other words, as long as your security is dependent on another you will be insecure. While this all may sound very obvious, it is also very deep and profound and really speaks to my personal evolution through relationship...
The Gift of Debt
I loved that Abraham spoke on this topic because I have done so much work to turn around my own beliefs here... Abraham encouraged us to find a way of looking at debt that takes us into the vortex. For example, we should look at debt as an investment in what we have become and acknowledge the understanding and knowledge it has imparted to us. In reality, all debt assumed has been a co-operative component in the creation of our current ever expanding vibrational realities. Abraham suggested looking at debt as a fun game to help take ownership over the experience and suggested the columns exercise from one of the book where you can make a game of paying off your debt. I love this shift because it helps take something that was a burden and makes it a pleasure. As Abraham said, debt is a vehicle through which ideas and solutions can begin to flow to you to allow you to lighten up and become more co-operative with the Universe. Imagine that! That debt is a magical and luminous teacher who has arrived to impart profound realizations and super powers of manifestation!
A Focus Wheel Around Debt
The
focus wheel which Abrham took the hot-seater on to arrive at this "lightness of being" around debt was something like this... He started in a place of feeling injustice and oppression about being in debt and went to...
* I've been in the vortex before.
* Today I have more money than I ever have.
* I am surrounded by people who support me in many ways.
* In the larger scheme of things I have a handle on this.
* I'm grateful for debt because it has helped me to create a greater story.
* Life is going good for me.
* I like my vibrational reality.
* I like what I am doing and I like aligning with my vibrational reality and who I really am.
* I like being the creator of my own reality.
* I like what being in business has cued up for me, I've become organized, a good decision maker, etc.
* I like feeling the power of the universe.
* I like coming into alignment with who I am and getting my hands in the creative clay and getting in the driver's seat!
* I think everything is in the right place right now, I like where I am and I'm eager about what coming next!
Watching this man, who was hunched over with misery, straighten up, smile and breathe into this whole new way of viewing his situation was very, very inspiring.
Sacred Geometry and "The Light"
I got in the hot seat and asked about the nature of sacred geometric shapes, inspired my my recent quickenings in response to art resplendent with these images. Abraham said that sacred geometries are subjective symbols which someone created at one point from within the vortex to express, mathamatically, their experience of being in the vortex. I was encouraged to pay attention to the power to focus on alignment that they elicited from me rather than the symbols, themselves, as points of power. I liked this answer because it reminded me that these shapes are really just tools to quicken awareness. In the same way that a focus wheel or the exercise of basking shouldn't become an object of adoration, a sacred geometric symbol should just be contemplated as a tool for focus.
I also asked about emotions and light. Abe also said that they prefer to focus on the words "energy" and "vibration" rather than "light" because the concept of light relies on having eyes to see or visualizing, which was implied to be limiting in it's expansiveness. Also, the concept of light immediately brings to mind darkness...
Glad I Asked These Questions!
I realize that the power of focus is really all that matters in any interest, hobby or habitual way of thinking. Identifying what the contemplation makes me focus on feeling is of paramount importance over assigning the symbol or activity itself with any sort of supernatural abilities. I also got that vibration and energy are much more multi-dimensional and complex than I ever could have imagined. Honestly, what comes to mind with these words are images of wavy lines. I am beginning to understand that these concepts may have much more depth and texture that my human faculties can imagine! I guess I always thought about energy as a sort of "electro-spiritual pulse" in the past, but this conversation really has me thinking in a extrasensory way. The whole concept of vibration is unlimited in it's own capacity for expansion in ways which spatially and texturally defy my understanding of reality... This could make for another interesting question in the future...
Turn Off The Television
A final interesting note, for the third time in the last week Abraham mentioned in an offhanded way, "turn off the television". Even though I don't own one, I was streaming some netflix almost daily a few weeks ago. Now I am really focusing on doing yoga or reading or journaling instead and it feels much better. A nice reminder and affirmation, even if they were joking.
Some delightful affirmations from today which I was inspired to craft from Abraham's words:
- I am overjoyed at the beauty and richness I have created in my vibrational reality!
- I allow all that I have wanted and created in my visions to manifest now!
- I only speak about the best parts of the material reality which I have already created.
- I expand my current material reality to merge with my ever-expanding vibrational reality!
- I send leading-edge rockets of desire to the most expansive version of me possible!
- My vibrational reality is the ultimate reality within the universe!
- I keep up with who I am becoming in every moment.
- My vibrational reality is my primary point of attraction!
- I spend more time talking about my vibrational reality than my physical reality!
- I affirm what I want and contemplate my vibrational reality from inside the vortex.
- I allow expansion into my vibrational reality and experience good feelings as a result!
- The larger part of me has already become everything I have asked for!
- Source always holds the frequency of my newest, most expanded, aligned part of me!
- I find the vibrational frequency of the certainty of my success/love/money/joy without any confirmation required from material reality to maintain the intensity of my belief!!!
- When I hold the vibrational essence of what I seek inside me from inside the vortex I build bridges from the inside, out, and create innovative ways to manifest.
- I know the Universe has my back and that there is great abundance coming for me and I AM READY FOR IT! Yay!
I am SO, SO grateful for the material! Thank you!
p.s. By the way, last night I opened the new set of cards on
Money and the Law of Attraction that I got at the seminar. I have never been into their card decks, but I love the new art in this one and the systematic and straight forward they summarize the material from the book. It is about way more than money and a useful tool for anyone with an extremely underlined version of the book. Highly recommended.
