Abe: Well, that is logical, isn't it? Because that's where your vibration is, it's logical that you would be reminded of things like that.

We have a fun way of looking at it: Let's say you have a piece of very fine sandpaper, and you rub it with your fingers. It is so fine that at first it feels almost like velvet. So you rub it a little more, and a little more, and a little more. In the beginning, there is no detriment to this experience. But the longer you rub it, the more unpleasant it becomes. Your skin is beginning to feel some sensitivity -- and after an hour or two, maybe even some beginnings of blisters. Yet sometimes that sandpaper is really the only thing visible in the room. And even though the experience is not very pleasant, you've got this habit going.

 Then, all of a sudden, you realize "Hey, I don't have to do this!" And you simply lift your fingers up off the sandpaper!

This is a deliberate intent to remove yourself from this irritation. The sensation of lifting up is wonderful. As you lift off, it almost feels like spider webs pulling from your fingers.

We want you to begin reaching for that ensuing sense of relief. You've had your eye on this sandpaper. It seemed justified, it seemed important. People talked to you about it, there's evidence of it in your life, and everything seems to be somehow about sandpaper. But in reality, there is it and there is the absence of it, and you do have a choice of whether or not to lift your fingers -- your thoughts, that is -- off of what is evoking this unpleasant experience.

So we are going to give you a sort of rough sketchy but very valid picture of how this works.

Have you ever played with an electrical train set, where there were lots of components to it? As you pushed your switches it sent an electrical current through the tracks which allowed the train to run

 As you flipped your switches, the current would go from track to track. so that the train would follow the direction of your guidance.

This is similar ….it is rough and sketchy…… but as you flow your energy towards something you literally send energy to the tracks upon which circumstances and events will run in order to help you achieve your outcome

The other night when Esther’s luggage had not arrived and she is lying in her bed stewing!!.

For a little while she was offering blame to the airline. They had only allowed a 45 minute connection in Newark, to transfer from one airline to another airline, and the airlines were not even in the same terminal building.

So Jerry and Esther barely made it running from one plane to the other, and their baggage did not make it.

When AirCanada did not have their baggage and they looked at their ticket they said,  “Well there was not enough time for this baggage to be transferred. We need at least 1hour and 15 minutes to do that”

So now Esther is feeling blame towards the booking agent for not knowing that. She is blaming the airline, she is blaming the booking agent, she is blaming the people for not being efficient.

But what is really happening is. In all Esther’s blaming, she has got her circuits turned to a place where nothing is aligned. So if you were watching an arial view, you would see one truck arrive with Jerry and Esther’s baggage just as the truck that needed it was leaving.

You would see one man coming to look for the baggage tags and leaving right out the door just as the luggage came back into the room !!

In other words millions of near misses happening because Esther was flowing her energy in a way that was not aligning circumstances and events.

In the moment that Esther started feeling appreciation for all of those people that were out there in the middle of the night working to find ……. It was like all of the energy went back into sequence, and instead of near misses, now things were starting to fall into place.

A person received a call who had just seen the bags. And he was able to call and stop the …….you see what we are getting at?

The entire Universe is responding to you based upon the way you are flowing your energy. And NOTHING is affecting your experience other than the way you are spewing your energy. It is not someone else, it is not outside circumstances, it is nothing but the way you are flowing your energy.

When you introduce a lower, slower vibration to a higher, faster one, the result is a slowing of the faster vibration. So when you give your attention to something that is in vibrational harmony with who you are, there is no resistance.
