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.

….it is as if you are wanting us to speak ‘the final truth’ about something. And what we want you to understand is that there is NO FINAL TRUTH.

 
Every feeling of victim, every feeling of paranoia, every feeling of vulnerability, that has been projected from the beginning of man's experience here on this planet, is running like a river. And every now and again someone will tap into that stream and speak it as truth -- and what they are speaking is their truth. What they are speaking is what they are finding vibrational harmony with. What they are speaking is an option that is certainly available to all of you.
Excerpted from Abraham-Hicks Workshop
Dallas, TX -- G-3/13/99

Forever, physical humans are saying, "give me the truth, give me the truth." And we say, there are all kinds of truths. Choose the truths that serve you. Now, there are a lot of people that would feel great discomfort with that. But the thing that we want you to hear about it is: there is a truth of cancer, and there is a truth of wellness. Which truth serves you? You can activate either of them within you, and make it your truth. Truths are created; they aren't static. They aren't conditions that exist that then it is your obligation to identify and catalog. You are the creator of your truths--and what you are living is your truth.
Abraham-Hicks Kansas City, MO -- 6/1/02

..............................................................
The question that we would ask is, how does it make me feel when I focus upon it? And if the answer to the question is, it doesn't make me feel very good when I focus upon it, then we would say, true or not, it does not serve you. And if you will activate a different part of your vibration--the "truth" will shift.

  It is necessary that you take time out of the equation by saying,
"I am a timeless being" and
"Everything happens in perfect timing."
The only way that we would acknowledge time if we were standing in
your physical environment - of course you want to have time so that
you can make appointments, so that you can rendezvous, so that you
can have meaningful experiences - but we would talk about time in
terms of timing.
THE ONLY TIME THAT WE WOULD BE AWARE OF IS THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT
TAKES, OR HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE I HAVE BETWEEN THE LAUNCHING OF A
DESIRE AND THE ACTUAL FULFILLMENT OF IT.
AND THAT TIME FRAME CAN BE EASILY CONTROLLED BY YOU, BY SOFTENING
YOUR ANGST AND UPPING YOUR ENTHUSIASM.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CAN SHORTEN THE TIME BETWEEN WHERE YOU STAND -
which may be without something that you want and the fulfillment and
embracing of it - JUST BY CONCENTRATING ON HOW GOOD YOU FEEL IN THE
MEANTIME.
In other words, if in the meantime is a good time, then the meantime
will be a short time. But if in the meantime, is a time of concern,
or angst, or anxiety, or disappointment, or guilt, or blame, or
struggle, or worry then the meantime - the time between my saying I
want it and the time that I am actually receiving it fully - you can
string that out for a long, long, long, long, long, long time.

The buffer of time gives you the opportunity to get it right before it manifests, to take pleasure from the vision and from the molding it into place... Can you imagine if everything was manifesting instantly? You would manifest this, and then you would manifest it away. And then you'd manifest that, and then... It would be a difficult thing if you were instantly manifesting every whim or every misaligned thought. It's so much better that you have this buffer of time where you can feel it into perfection before it manifests into your experience.

You don't have to keep telling the Universe what you want. You really only have to tell the Universe once. The advantage of continuing to talk about it is that you get clearer about it. In other words, usually you cannot speak everything that you want with your first statement, and so, the more you talk about it the more you fine-tune it. But as you say, I want it, the Universe begins it, and then you say, I would like it to be this way, and the Universe modifies that, and then you say a little bit of this would be nice, and the Universe...you see what we're getting at? And once you are clear about what you want, once you have zeroed in on it and you know what you want -- it is on the way to you. It is done. The manifestation of it will probably follow later, because there is, most often, enough resistance so that you don't have it instantly

http://www.abraham-hicks.com/Knowledge/Abraham/Newsletters/V06/placemat.html

  You see, there is this constant steady Stream of Well-being flowing to you, and do you know that in the moment you say, "I prefer or I like or I appreciate or I want anything -- in that moment, the heavens literally part for you and the Nonphysical Energies, in that instant, begin orchestrating the manifestation of your desire -- in that instant. Faster than you can speak it, the Energy begins to flow and circumstances and events, in an orchestration that we cannot begin to describe, begin to take place in order to give you exactly what you want -- and if it were not for your resistance, it would come really fast, you see. http://www.abraham-hicks.com/Knowledge/Abraham/Newsletters/V06/placemat.html

Why Isn't It Coming To Me?
The only reason that something that you want is not coming to you, is
that you are holding yourself in vibrational harmony with something
other than what you want. And the good news is: every single time
you're doing it, every single time, without exception, you are
feeling something less than positive emotion when it happens. So if
you are asking yourself on a fairly regular basis, maybe two or three
hundred, or a thousand, times every day, and if you're catching
yourself in the act of doing it now -- it won't take 30 days of being
aware that you're doing it now to stop doing it now.

as you reach for thoughts, in the next 30 days, that cause you to
lock onto that feeling of Well-being -- you would be amazed at the
power of influence that the effort of one individual provides.

It usually takes about 30 days to change a habit. Not because you
need 30 days. You could do it in 68 seconds if you could once you did
it hold your vibration there, but you have to consciously make that
decision.
Abraham-Hicks G-2/28/97, Napa, CA

Abe

If you could just get on a rampage of appreciation..Your
bodies.......... we dont care what physical condition they have been
in...............your bodies would triumph.

With 30 days of appreciation.!!
30 days of appreciation anything that is within your physical body
that is not the way you want it would rectify in as short as 30 days.
But its like our friend says. Some of those thoughts are pretty
strong habits so sometimes you find yourself chewing over there
without even meaning to go there.
Extract from Abraha-Hicks tape G-4/12/97

Abe Do you have to change your vibration on a particular subject in order to let it in?" No, you don't. You could pet your pet and let it in. You could sit with your feet dangling in the bay, and let it in. If it is a subject that you often think of in an attitude of resistance, it is really worthwhile reaching for some thoughts that feel better. You could launch an intention and never think about it again, and the Universe would yield it to you. You don't have to clean up your vibration relative to anything, if you can just not think about it any more. That's why we teach meditation. It's easier to teach you to have no thought than to have pure positive thought. When you quiet your mind you stop thought; when you stop thought you stop resistance; when you stop resistance--then you are in a state of allowing.
Abraham-Hicks Los Angeles, CA -- 8/19/00
................................................................

Understand that all thoughts create -- and the more emotion that is present at the time that a thought is set in motion, the faster the creation will be received -- and as frequent thought is given in any direction, without the hindrance of negative thought, there is certain creation, eventually."
"A New Beginning, Volume 1"
Abraham-Hicks Publication
...................................................

We would like you to know that this powerful Universe is responding
to the clarity of your mind and that if you are offering confusion where
you say, "I want it BUT, I want it BUT, I want it BUT. I'd like to have
that BUT I can't afford it. I'd like to look like that BUT I look like
this. I want that BUT I've got this, I want that BUT I've got this, I
want that BUT I've got this, I want that BUT I've got this."

That gets you nowhere. But when you leave out " BUT I've got this"
and say, "I like that and I'd like that and wouldn't that be nice and how
about this and this feels good and did you see that? And I know
someone who did that and wouldn't that be nice and I remember that and I'd
like to have that. I love that, oooh, that's beautiful. Thank you for this,
thank you for that."

When you get into that sort of mode and you leave out the "but I've
got this" the "BUT I've got this" stops being dominant. And when it stops
being dominant it stops being the path that resists. And when the
resistance stops, the Well-being that you have been calling for all
the days of your life comes in.

If you could see an ariel view of your experience you would be bowled
over with the amount of extraordinary circumstances and events that
have been lined up for you. Talk about prepaving. You can't prefer
anything... big or small, loud or quiet, silent, unspoken or shouting
to the boundaries of the Universe. You can't prefer anything that Source
Energy doesn't line up for you 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or 80
or a thousand different ways of bringing it to you.

And if you're not living most of what you want it's because you've
got your attention on something else. That's all that is could be.

So, the Art of Allowing is about finding things to think about that
feel good while I think about them and therefore allow everything I've
ever said I wanted to flow in, in perfect order.

Abraham-Hicks Seattle workshop 6/28/03

You are susceptible to Energy. And so, for example, if you were living in a retirement community where there were many people who were feeling vulnerable about their money, or feeling worried about what their future would provide, and you are sensitive to Energy, you could very well be picking up on the consensus of the group around you, even though it has nothing to do with who you are.

But you must have a little spattering of that within you, or you could not be finding harmony with that greater consensus. Every thought that has ever been thought exists. And then, by Law of Attraction, those thoughts coalesce, so that there are pockets of Thought Forms. And so, very often, just driving from city to city, if you are sensitive to vibration, you can feel different Energies in different cities. Well, what we are wanting you to do, is get so good at setting your own Tone, that it doesn't matter what the fluctuations of Energies are around you, you are always holding a steady course.

Jerry (Hicks) We have , its called Group therapy where people get together that have a specific problem that they are trying to work out. But from what I’ve seen there often appears to be a continuation of that same pain  that the participants are wanting to alleviate  instead of it ending. Whats the cause of that, why does  the pain keep on? Abe If there is continuation of pain there is continuation of discussion or thought upon that which brought forth pain.It is very common even without group therapy to have a bad experience  and then continue to think about it. You see an experience that may last only 5 minutes in your lifetime, could be done , you would never need to have bad feeling about it again if you could stop yourself from thinking about it.It is the thought as well as the word or action that brings forth negative emotion and so group therapy is not effective if it is guiding you toward remembering that which brought you pain in the first place.  For as long as you continue to think about it you will continue to feel the pain and what is that pain? What is that negative emotion? It is communication from your Inner Being saying to you that what you are thinking about is not in harmony with what you are wanting, and that guidance must be understood for the value that it holds.  For your Inner Being  is telling you that because it knows that as you think about it you are attracting more of it to you., and your Inner Being knows that you do not want it so it is warning you. Abraham Hicks  AB-7 Relationships, Agreements  
............................................................................
 Abe …….all of you are teachers and students at  the same time with a variety of relationships that you are living. So here you standing living whatever you are living and youv’e got this range  of  vibration that you are  living,.If you begin playing this new game that we are offering which is just reach for the thought that feels best, reach for the thought which feels better. We are not saying reach for the perfect thought, we are saying of the thoughts that you have access to here  and they might be terribly  horribly rotten, to not so rotten, that might be your range. Reach  for the least rotten thought in the pot and as you reach for the least rotten thought in the pot, or the thought that feels  best now your range shifts just a little bit. And as you now reach for the least rotten thought in the pot now your range shifts and now with just a little bit of effort you don’t have access to that terribly rotten though that  was available to you just a day  earlier.  And now here’s your range and as you reach for the thought better, best, now your range has shifted again and as you reach for the thought that feels best now your range has shifted again. So graciously,gracefuly, comfortably you begin achieving vibrational  harmony.  Now what happens in most therapy sessions is there is this desire to reach for the very worst thought and try to do something about it. Well all that  you do about it is activate it within you which makes that your range of thoughts you see, Abraham Hicks G 5.16.00 
...................................................................................
  You don't have to go back and deal with childhood issues, because those childhood issues produced a vibration within you that you are still offering -- which is producing today issues. You can shift your vibration a whole lot easier when you're dealing with today issues, than trying to deal with childhood issues. It's the same vibration. That vibration that was creating childhood issues, now it's creating today issues. Deal with it in your now. "Which thought feels better? Which thought feels better? Which thought feels better?"

THERAPY cont

What happens in most therapy sessions is, there is this desire to reach for the very worst thought and try to do something about it, well all you do about it is activate it within you  which makes that your range of thoughts you see and so what your wanting to do is assist…..you understand LOA your wanting to do anything and everything  that you can do to calm the vibration of the person that you are visiting with to give access to better feeling thoughts you see.
