I see my friend's gorgeous new car and I feel thrilled beyond measure at her achievement of it, am I allowing my own abundance? Oh, yes!
 When I feel jealous of my friend's amazing new car, am I allowing my own abundance?
No!"

Our most personal desire is that you learn -- little by little -- to release your feelings of unworthiness and replace them with feelings of worthiness. For as we see you, in your Energy Form, we notice that it is your opinion about you that serves as the strongest reason for you to not allow this life-giving Energy to flow. And it is also what is usually at the heart of your not getting along very well with one another. It's what's at the root of your jealousy or your blame, or your fear.

When I hold a desire that frightens me or threatens me, when I feel unworthy of it, or blameful of others who have achieved it, when I feel jealousy, yearning, or fear, then I am holding myself in vibrational disallowance. No one, not God, not Mother, not my sister, not my mate, not my friend -- no one is holding me apart from this thing that I want but me and my choice of thought.

Am I letting it in? Letting what in? What might that be?" Well-being, clarity, vitality, enthusiasm, abundance, stamina, the ability to articulate, understanding, broader view, Inner Being, God, all that you consider to be good. There is not anything that you want that you will not be in a place of letting in once you understand how important it is to ask yourself in this moment, "Well, how am I feeling? Am I letting it in?" The Art of Letting It In.

we're not here to teach you to raise your vibration, because your vibration is naturally raised. We're here to help distract you from the lower vibration. Jesus said, turn the other cheek, and that's exactly what he was talking about. Turn your attention from what holds your vibration in a lower place, and your vibration will naturally raise.

Dormant Beliefs Don't Affect You
We don't want you to try to buck that current. We want you to start
setting a Tone that is more in alignment with the current that is
really already you. You can be chuck full up to the brim wtih beliefs
that do not serve you well -- and not one of them will affect you
unless it is activated. And when it is activated, you'll have a
feeling response to it.
When a belief that is not in harmony with your Source Energy is
activated, you'll get that funny feeling in your stomach. And as you
get that funny feeling in your stomach, what it is telling you is:
This thought in this moment does not match who you are and what you
are wanting. And so, you have a simple choice. You can go with it,
you can try to beat it to death, you can get people together, you can
try to isolate it, you can add to it and get it bigger and bigger, or
you can, as Jesus said, turn the other cheek, and allow that
vibration to become inactive again, while you are tuning your
vibration to that which feels better.

Our favorite analogy is the cork that bobs on the surface of the water. And when you hold it under the water, it is unnatural. It is natural for you to let go of it, and it is natural for it to bob. But when you take hold of a thought that does not feel good, and the negative emotion sweeps over you, you remain in an unnatural state for as long as you hold your attention upon it. You talk about a teacher you call Jesus who expressed it as clearly as we've ever heard it when he said, turn the other cheek or look the other way, or resist not this thing you fear. Because when you take your attention from whatever it is that is drowning your cork, your cork will bob right back to the surface.
