The standard of success in life isn't the things.

It isn't the money

or the stuff. It is absolutely the amount of JOY that you FEEL.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

It's ever so much more satisfying to get into a blissful place and attract a blissful person and
live blissfully hereafter than to be in a negative place and attract a negative partner and then
try to get happy from that negative place.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The best way to accomplish an improved environment is to focus upon the best things about
where you currently are until you flood your own vibrational patterns of thought with
appreciation, and in that changed vibration, you can then allow the new-and-improved
conditions and circumstances to come into your experience.

Look for good things about where you are, and in your state of appreciation, you lift all self-
imposed limitations (and all limitations are self-imposed) and you free yourself for the
receiving of wonderful things.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Law of Attraction says, "That which is like unto itself is drawn." Vibrations are always
matched. So, as you experience the contrast which inspires the new desire, this new desire,
whether it is a strong one or a soft one, is summoning unto itself proportionately. And as it
summons, it is always answered. It is the basis of our Universe: When it is asked, it is always
given. Humans think they are asking with their words, or even with their action, and
sometimes you are, but the Universe is not responding to your words or your action. The
Universe is responding to your vibration calling.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The one factor that has been unknown by most humans, that is understood by the beasts, is
that Well-being truly does abound, and that you are blessed beings who live in an atmosphere
of grace, and that unless you are doing something to pinch off the Well-being, it will be yours.
Look for the evidence of the Well-being, and be an advocate for Well-being rather than an
advocate for getting rid of what does not feel like Well-being, then little by little, by little,
your own personal experience begins to take shape in a way that is more satisfying to you.

--- Abraham

Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

It seems like you really want different things, or are even choosing different paths. But when
you both tend to your Emotional Journey, the Universe will cleverly give you both exactly
what you want… When you tend to the Emotional Journey, this Universe has the resources
and the cleverness to orchestrate for each of you what you exactly want even when you think
they are opposites one from another. It's Great fun to watch.

--- Abraham

Make the best of where you are and do your best to line up your Energy from where you are,
because any bit of struggle or any bit of regret only holds your cork under the water and
doesn't allow you to connect with the Energy that would allow anything to improve.

--- Abraham

There is a Life Stream that flows to you, and this is a Stream of clarity, a Stream of wellness,
a Stream of abundance... and in any moment, you are allowing it or not. What someone else
does with the Stream, or not, does not have anything to do with how much of it will be left for
you. This Stream is as abundant as your ideas allow it to be.

--- Abraham

Whenever you are feeling less than good, if you will stop and say, Nothing is more important
than that I feel good—I want to find a reason now to feel good, you will find an improved
thought.

Anytime you feel negative emotion, you are in the mode of resisting something that you
want, and that resistance takes its toll on you. It takes its toll on your physical body, and it
takes its toll on the amount of wonderful things that you are allowing to come into your
experience.

--- Abraham

You have to find a way to be all right with thriving because you are always going to want to
thrive. The economy is moving forward in response to the desires of people. And depriving
yourself of something does not make more money for someone else to spend. If there were
not people who were purchasing things, then all of the people who are working at
manufacturing and marketing them would have to find some other ways of making their
living. There are so many people who innately want to thrive, who as soon as they begin
thriving a little, begin imposing all of these exterior judgements about how much thriving is
appropriate, "It's appropriate to thrive that much, but not that much." And you have to ask
yourself, "At what point do I lose the balance of thriving?"

--- Abraham

If you're not selfish enough to want to feel good, then you can't connect with the energy that
is your Source which does always feel good.

--- Abraham

We would like you to release the word "achieve" or "earn" from your vocabulary and from
your understanding, altogether, and we would like you to replace those words with the word
"allow". You're wanting to allow your Well-being, not achieve it. It's not something that you
need to earn. All you have to do is decide what it is you would like to experience, and then
allow it in order to achieve it. It isn't something you have to struggle for or try for. You are all
worthy beings. You are deserving of this Well-being.
--- Abraham

You are on the leading edge of thought, taking thought beyond that which it has been before.
Who cares what thoughts have led up to this. You're standing in the fresh now, and many of
the thoughts that you vehemently oppose are the very thoughts that have given you the
desire that has attracted the clarity of where you now stand. No matter how awful you think
they might be, all were of value in the evolution forward. Every one of them

--- Abraham _

Don't try to recreate peak experiences. Instead, just accept them as the gift that they are,
and don't beat up on yourself for not being able to stay there. Because if you stayed there,
they wouldn't be peak experiences. They would be normal, every day in time hum drum
boring, experiences. So, savor the peak experiences and compliment yourself upon your
achieving of them, and expect more of them, and leave everything else out of the equation.

--- Abraham

It is not your role to make others happy; it is your role to keep yourself in balance. When you
pay attention to how you feel and practice self-empowering thoughts that align with who-you-
really-are, you will offer an example of thriving that will be of tremendous value to those who
have the benefit of observing you.

You cannot get poor enough to help poor people thrive or sick enough to help sick people get
well. You only ever uplift from your position of strength and clarity and alignment.

--- Abraham

Your action has nothing to do with your abundance! Your abundance is a response to your
vibration. Of course, your belief is part of your vibration. So if you believe that action is part
of what brings your abundance, then you've got to unravel that.

--- Abraham

Most parents, when they see children not terrorized by the things that terrorize them, they
work very hard until they've finally got you terrorized. They teach you those irrational fears.
Well-meaning, but they do just the same.

--- Abraham

Aren't you just thrilled that there are billions of beings of intelligence within you? Cells that
each know what's best for them? And as they find what's best for them, it is ultimately what's
best for you--unless you're focused upon something unwanted and using that as your excuse
to block the flow. They are asking, Non-Physical is answering. Are you in the way or are you
letting it flow? That's what this "Letting go and letting God" is all about. It's about relaxing
and no longer hindering the communication between the individual askers. Every particle gets
to individually decide. And as every particle asks, it is answered--and the Whole continues to
thrive.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, Jerry and Esther

The beasts that came before you, who banged around on this planet, denoted at cellular
conscious and unconscious levels, their preferences. And that is how the atmosphere was
prepared for you. They did not write one thing on their "things to do today" pads. They just
be'd and perceived and concluded and asked vibrationally. And the Universe expanded as a
result of their willingness to have exposure to the contrast. And you are not different from
them. You have no greater responsibility than they did. The contrast produces the desire
within you, and the Universe expands as a result of it. The only question is, the question that
we want so much to answer is, are you letting it in? Are you letting yourself experience the
benefit of your precious focus and your vast experience in the here and now? You'll never get
it done. You cannot get it wrong. So don't you think it's time for you to lighten up and start
having more fun with all of this, and accept that you are Eternal Beings? And since you are
Eternal Beings, then there's no point in rushing, because there's never going to be a time
when you don't exist.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

Look for things that you appreciate where you are. It will put you in a place of perfect
allowing, even when you are not yet manifesting all that you want. "There are many people
right now experiencing the dream that is coming for me, who were at one time standing right
where I'm standing. I'm right on track. There is not anything amiss here. Everything is
unfolding perfectly. I am perfect where I am and gravitating to something that will satisfy me
even more." That's the attitude that lets it expand.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

The Universe is not punishing you or blessing you. The Universe is responding to the
vibrational attitude that you are emitting. The more joyful you are, the more Well-being flows
to you -- and you get to choose the details of how it flows

--- Abraham _ Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

We practice the Art of Allowing. Which means reaching for the thought that feels best, not the
thought that is the real thought, not the thought that is telling it like it is. Telling it like it is
only holds you where it is: "Damn it, I'm going to tell it like it is. I'm going to tell it like it is,
because everybody wants me to tell it like it is." Tell it like it is if you like it like it is. But if
you don't like it like it is, then don't tell it like it is--tell it like you want it to be. If you tell it
like you want it to be, long enough, you will begin to feel it like you want it to be, and when
you feel it like you want it to be, it be's like you want it to be.

--- Abraham

There is not a stream of badness and a stream of goodness, or sickness or wellness. There is
only a Stream of Well-being. The question that you're wanting to ask yourself is, "In this
moment, am I letting it in or not? Am I allowing it or am I not?"

--- Abraham

The majority of your population, in your nation of democracy, is experiencing every bit as
much bondage as the majority in the other forms of government; because bondage is not
about the form of government, it is about the individual attachment to the vibration that
disallows the Well-being from flowing

--- Abraham _ Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

The achievement of anything that you desire must be considered success, whether it is a
trophy or money or relationships, or things. But if you will let your standard of success be
your achievement of joy—everything else will fall easily into place. For in the finding of joy,
you are finding vibrational alignment with the resources of the Universe.

--- Abraham

Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

Every religion on the planet, and there are so many more than you are even aware of, has
the potential of absolute thriving. But when you think that you must prove that you have the
only one that is right—and you use your condemnation to push against the others—your
condemnation separates you from your own Connection that, before your condemnation, you
were finding in your own religion.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

Physical experience is the leading edge of thought. The furtherest extension of that thought.
You are not at the beginning. You are here on the leading edge, living the manifestation of
thought. And as you expose yourself to the contrast within the manifestation, you don new
desires which then summons the Life Force.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

There is thought and there is Thought Form, and there is Manifestation. Manifestation is
always in the eye of the beholder. So this time-space-reality that everyone is perceiving is
nothing more than vibrational interpretation.

So the Thought Form of that which is man was set forth from Broader Perspective, and has
continued to evolve by the experience of those who were having the experience here on the
planet. And what you actually see as man or human is vibrational interpretation. Now, did
man come from ape? No, man was a different idea. So how does the idea of evolution occur?
And we say, because the idea of each species was set forth, and as the experience of the
species is lived, the idea expands. So the expansion is happening from the Leading Edge
place, and is supported from the Source Energy that flows everywhere the idea goes.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

It's not about years. It's not about age. It's not about youth. It's about decline. And decline is
about alignment, or not. Decline is about, in this moment, which way am I forking? In this
moment, which way am I forking? In this moment, which way am I forking? That's all it's
about.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

You're not ever going to teach them how to vibrate, nor would you want to change them all to
a place of vibrating just like you. Your work is not to fix them; they are not broken. Your work
is to choose from among all of that which feels best to you, and fixate on it as long as it gives
you pleasure and joy. And in doing so, you will align with the Energy of your Source, and you
will live a magnificent experience. You just have to not let your joy depend upon what
anybody else is living, cause that'll get you every time.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

Some say that you should not want money at all because the desire for money is materialistic
and not Spiritual. But we want you to remember that you are here in this very physical world
where Spirit has materialized. You cannot separate yourself from the aspect of yourself that is
Spiritual, and while you are here in these bodies, you cannot separate yourselves from that
which is physical or material. All of the magnificent things of a physical nature that are
surrounding you are Spiritual in nature.

--- Abraham

You don't have to work at being in the high vibration that is natural to you, because it is
natural to you. But you do have to stop holding the thoughts that cause you to lower your
vibration. It's a matter of no longer giving your attention to things that don't allow your cork
to float or don't allow you to vibrate in harmony with who you really are.

--- Abraham

There are those that say, if you do the uncomfortable thing long enough, it will become
comfortable. But we are really not encouragers of that. We are encouragers of coming into
alignment, and then taking the action. We are encouragers always of getting rid of the fear;
we would never want you to keep doing things that you feel fearful about. And maybe the
path of least resistance is just not get on the horse. Maybe the path of least resistance is to
get on a different horse—but we would never move forward in fear.

--- Abraham

When you see someone living something awful, a rocket of desire for their resolution shoots
out of you. And then, if you start focusing upon their resolution, you'll start feeling better
right away. And now, you're part of the current that is part of the solution.

--- Abraham

What is a bad thing anyway? A bad thing is something that is different than what I want. Who
gets to decide what the bad thing is? Jerry and Esther watched the mother bird lay her eggs
in the nest, and then the neighbor's cat ate the baby bird. Esther said "bad cat!" And the cat
said, "good bird!"

--- Abraham

When you think a thought of upliftment or abundance or Well-Being you are filled with a
feeling of positive emotion. You may trust the way that you feel as the indicator as to which
side of this subject (that is really two subjects) you are on. Whether it is the subject of money
or lack of it, or health or lack of it, or a relationship or the lack of one—always, when you feel
good, you are in the place of attracting that which you are wanting.

--- Abraham

Overwhelment is about you not being up to speed with what you told the Universe that you
want. The Universe is yielding to you. You're just not ready to receive it right now.

--- Abraham

Source Energy is intimately, infinitely, always responding to your requests, no matter how
great or small they may be deemed by you or anyone else who is observing them. There is
nothing so big that Source Energy can't get its thoughts around it-- and there is nothing so
small that Source Energy isn't willing to get its thoughts around it.

--- Abraham

Because others cannot vibrate in your experience, they cannot affect the outcome of your
experience. They can hold their opinions, but unless their opinion affects your opinion, their
opinion matters not at all. A million people could be pushing against you and it would not
negatively affect you unless you push back. That million people pushing against you are
affecting their millions of vibrations. They are affecting what happens in their experience.
They are affecting their point of attraction, but it does not affect you unless you push against
them.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

Parce que d'autres ne peuvent pas vibrer dans votre expérience, ils ne peuvent pas affecter le
résultat de votre expérience. Ils peuvent avoir leur opinion, mais à moins que leur opinion
affecte votre avis, leur opinion ce qui n'est pas du tout. Un million de personnes pourraient
être poussée contre vous et il ne serait pas vous affecter négativement à moins que vous
repousser. Cette millions de personnes poussant contre vous affectent des millions de
vibrations. Ils ont une incidence sur ce qui se passe dans leur expérience. Ils ont une
incidence sur leur point d'attraction, mais elle ne vous concerne pas, sauf si vous poussez
contre eux.

Everyone thinks they're right. So, the question isn't who's right or who's wrong. The question
is _ who is most in alignment with their SOURCE ? And who is the most allowing ? And whose
life is really going the best, most of the time?

--- Abraham _ Our Love, _ Jerry and Esther

The reason the grandchildren will benefit by the launched rockets that you've set forth; is
because they're born with no resistance to the rockets of desires that you've launched forth...
You've seen those little ones on computers? They have no problem with that. They were born
with computers in their life; they're born cable-ready. They're already up to speed with what
you've launched into the vibrational future. And that's one of the reasons that it's nice when
the old ones croak and the new ones come in, because it sort of dilutes the resistance factor
that's going on this planet.

--- Abraham

Many people protest when we explain to them the power of telling the story of their finances
as they want it to be rather than as it is, because they believe that they should be factual
about what is happening. But if you continue to look at LACKFUL what-is and speak of what-
is, you will not find the improvement that you desire. If you want to effect substantial change
in your life experience, you must think thoughts that feel different as you think them.

--- Abraham

You want the desire because it is the idea or the goal or the Creation that is responsible for a
good amount of Life Force to flow through you. The main event is the Life Force that is
flowing through you, not the manifestation. And if you don't believe us now, wait until that
manifestation has popped, and realize that its power to draw life through you will be greatly
diminished. That's why you keep wanting another goal and another goal and another goal...

--- Abraham

You are Beings who intend to come forth and to continue to expand and grow and change.
What is the perfect age? "Well, it's the age where I finally understand my freedom, and I
finally understand that I am free to create, and it's the age that I am at my most beautiful."
And we say, by whose standards? In other words, who gets to decide the perfect age? And we
say, rather than determining what the perfect age is, why not decide what the perfect state of
being is—and then discover that you can find the perfect state of being at any age.

--- Abraham

Parents don't want their children to make the wrong decisions, so they don't allow them to
make the decision. And then the child becomes dependent, and then the parent resents that,
and it gets off into a blameful thing early on. If you are encouraging children to do all that
they can do -- and not squelching the natural eagerness that is within them, so that they can
shine and thrive and show you and themselves how good they are at adapting to physical
experience -- then everyone wins.
--- Abraham

Within the seed of your desire is everything necessary for it to blossom to fulfillment. And
Law of Attraction is the engine that does the work. Your work is just to give it a fertile
growing place in order to expand

--- Abraham

The premise that so many people come from is that good isn't natural; GOOD must be
demanded or manipulated or orchestrated. And we say, GOOD IS natural! It must be asked
for, and it must be expected -- but GOOD is the only Stream that flows _

--- Abraham _

Don't get lost in the diagnosis, the medicine, or in the statistics about what somebody else
did about it. If you don't feel good, it's because you're not thinking in a way that allows the
Energy to flow. You could just get really, really mad at someone you love and make every
muscle in your body stiff. And you would ask, "Why does my body feel this way?" And we say,
because you've had a Vibrational tug-of-war going on...Stop looking for anything other than
your mental and emotional state of being as answers to why you feel how you feel in your
body. It is all Vibrational - no exception! And when you get that, then it doesn't matter what
diagnosis has been given to you - it doesn't matter - it's temporary.

--- Abraham _ Our Love, Jerry and Esther

Excerpted from the workshop in Orlando, FL on Friday, December 20th, 2002 #510 _

Ne vous perdez pas dans le diagnostic, la médecine, ou dans les statistiques sur ce que
quelqu'un d'autre n'a à ce sujet. Si vous ne vous sentez pas bien, c'est parce que vous ne
pensez pas d'une manière qui permet à l'énergie à l'écoulement. Vous pourriez juste être
vraiment, vraiment en colère contre quelqu'un que vous aimez et de faire tous les muscles de
votre corps raidi. Et vous demander: «Pourquoi mon corps à se sentir de cette façon?" Et
nous disons, parce que vous avez eu un remorqueur vibrationnelle de guerre se passe ... Ne
cherchez plus à rien d'autre que votre état mental et émotionnel de l'être comme des
réponses à pourquoi vous vous sentez comment vous vous sentez dans votre corps. Il est tout
de vibration - sans exception! Et quand vous obtenez cela, alors il n'a pas d'importance ce
diagnostic a été donnée de vous - ce n'est pas grave - elle n'est que temporaire.
