You will notice that those who speak most of prosperity, have it. Those who speak most of health, have it. Those who speak most of sickness, have it. Those who speak most of poverty, have it. It is Law. It can be no other way…

The way you feel is your point of attraction, and so, the Law of Attraction is most understood when you see yourself as a magnet getting more and more of the way you feel. When you feel lonely, you attract more loneliness. When you feel poor, you attract more poverty. When you feel sick, you attract more sickness. When you feel unhappy, you attract more unhappiness. When you feel healthy and vital and alive and prosperous—you attract more of all of those things.

The “challenge” is separating the “feeling” from the undesired situation/circumstance. It is so easy to fall into the habitual emotional reaction & takes conscious effort not to give in to this way of thinking & feeling. Though there are days you feel continuously battered like an endless storm not able to find shelter long enough to “feel” & embrace the opposite/desired situation/circumstances and so the storm rages on. But there must be a way to find shelter long enough to find the better feelings that will slowly weaken the storm until it finally dissipates so that the sun can shine once again….or for the first time!

Below are highlights posted on the Jerry and Esther Hicks Facebook page from yesterday’s (Saturday january 28. 2012) Live Vortex of Creation Workshop.

Abraham is telling the LA group… Nothing is an accident.  You can be in alignment at any time, no matter what happens. – LIVE from Los Angeles, CA

But I find it is more difficult more times than others, as the “knee-jerk” response is to react to the situations and circumstances feeling angry, anxious, frustrated, irritated, hopeless, etc….And it is at these times when we most need to BE in alignment to help minimize these situations and circumstances that upset us which we should not (or at least try) allow ourselves to be upset feeding more energy into the negative undesired situation. (like I am trying very hard not to do now, feeding energy to a seemingly never ending hopeless situation).

Abraham is reminding the person in the hotseat… The Universe is not teaching lessons.  You are always on your way to something wonderful, even when what you’re experiencing is not wonderful. – LIVE from Los Angeles, CA

Though it “feels” like at times we (I) are “stuck” in a garbage loop repeating the same thinsg again and again and again, going through the same (money & relationship) problems again and again and again, even when I say I am NOT doing this or that again and yet AGAIN I end up in the same “loop” or problems and undesired situations and circumstances! But if ALL of this is leading to something wonderful (BETTER) then that does give one hope for the future full of Abundance, Happiness, Real True Love, and Living One’s Dreams! Though an occasional “x miles to go” sign would help guage how much further/longer to go, because just like on a road trip going some place fun and desired you get more excited the closer you get to the destination, I would think this would also apply to The Path. But maybe there are these “signs” but they are so subtle that they get missed…..

Abraham is reminding the person in the hotseat… Indecision can be torturous.  How much you need to torture yourself is the decision. – Abraham LIVE from Los Angeles

Indesciveness can be the reason for not acting on that gut feeling to do something that would put your closer to your desires or NOT do something that create more stress and problems in your life. Just need to learn these “feelings” and to trust them. Sometimes that Inner Voice cannot be heard over all the NOISE of the day and negative mental dialog.

Abraham is telling the person in the hotseat… Don’t freak out over too many specifics and details because they bog you down.  There are no penalties in life – only clarity that is born.  – LIVE from Los Angeles

I know this is very big road-bloack for me that I battle constantly with regards to trying to “see” what I desire AND “feel good” about that desire. I get myself bogged down in the how, the when, the details that are not my job YET I keep trying to make the details of how to get THERE my job and thus get caught up in this and less on “feeling good” which gets more and more difficult when the seemingly hopeless situation seems even more hopeless trying to work out the details in my head. Instead of just seeing the end result/desire fulfilled and most important “FEELING GOOD and HAPPY and FEELING JOY” Who would have thought that the simple “Happy Happy Joy Joy” song from Ren and Stimpy would have a deeper meaning!

In closing Abraham wanted the Los Angeles group to know…  We want you to revel in the expansion of who YOU have caused US to become.  The fullness of who you are is waiting for you to BE it in each moment. – LIVE from Los Angeles

There’s an expression in the physical environment that you use to entertain each other. (it doesn’t serve you very well) that says, “I worry that I’ll go down to the dock, and that my ship will have already come and gone. I’ll miss my boat.” And we say, another boat, another boat, another boat. You have no idea how many boats are coming to your dock. It’s a steady stream, and it doesn’t matter how many of them you’ve missed. The only thing that matters is what are you doing right now in your vibration? And you can tell what you’re doing right now in your vibration by the way you feel.

Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, August 4th, 2001

Yes, I have had that “Missed the Boat” feeling many times (recently as well as many times during the past years) and it is at times challenging to think that there still will be another (other) boats coming to the dock…even harder to convince myself that those other boats be even BETTER boats! But the biggest challenge I am facing is in the raising my vibration and “feeling good”, especially when the energon levels are so very low and now finding that my work load is going to potentially increase even more over the next couple of weeks & months at both jobs which potentially will leave me with even less time and energy for the Work that I need to be doing! How does one “feel good” when one is so physically and mentally exhausted? I know, I can already hear Esther and Abraham saying….”You have to a find a way…..”

People say, “The joy is in the journey,” but they rarely understand what they are saying. You are in this focused time/space reality with goals and objectives that call you because as you identify a desire it literally summons life through you. Life summoning through you is what it’s all about, not the completion of anything.

But the “inner fire” that burns from these desires must also be protected from being put out by other things or another person’s selfish desires. We must live our own life and follow our own paths and follow Our Heart. I have allowed dreams and desires die because of not staying true to my desires and my heart but listening to others or allowing fear to overwhelm and discourage me. Which is why I now speak very little of my desires unless I come across someone that I feel compelled to talk about it if I feel this person may help me or encourage me to press on regardless of what stands before me. But now my greatest foe is lack of time and resources to pursue my desires. There are days I think where would I be now had I not allowed past dreams to die or what would I be doing now if I were pursuing and working on current ones….but then reality snaps me back….but now knowing (and learning) these things I can approach my dreams and desires differently with more hope of waking up one day Living my Dreams!

Nothing needs to be fixed. Everything is unfolding perfectly. So when you stand in your now accepting that all is well, then from that vibration, you become surrounded by more and more evidence that all is well. But when you’re convinced that things are broken, that there is pollution, or that things have gone wrong, or that the government is doing conspiracies… then what happens is you get caught up in that vibration, and you begin to manifest that kind of stuff, and then you say, “See, I told you that things were going wrong.”

And it is so easy to get caught up in that frame of mind and thinking, constantly giving attention to what is wrong or broken and then when more wrong things happen or more things “break” you then have the evidence to back it up. Just need to step outside of the drama and chaos and see above and beyond it to those things that feel good, enjoying that moment of thought where you do not see or give attention to this “background noise” and not let it affect or bother me. But there are times (too many) that I allow myself to be and feel irritated which only creates more situations to be and feel irritated, so if there is ever any doubt that the LOA does not work, seeing it work negatively should be proof enough, it is just having to turn this around to the positive and work in more productive ways that gets to be a daily challenge.
