“If you feel drawn to someone, but you are annoyed because you think that they are telling you some lies, try to look beyond the lies and try to focus upon the feeling. People offer all kinds of words for all kinds of different reasons. Most lies are offered to try to keep things in alignment. We’re not encouraging it, but the motive behind lying is usually a pretty honorable motive. In other words, when a child lies to their parents, it’s usually because they want to be free to do what they want to do, and they don’t want their parents to be upset about it. It’s about wanting an alignment. Physical ears have a hard time hearing this. You keep talking about “We need to be honest.” And we say, we don’t meet any of you who are honest. Even those who claim to be the most virtuous, are not honest, but your vibration always is. We would trust the feeling more than the words.” ~Abraham [Excerpted from the workshop: Houston, TX on January 13, 2001]

This is a very interesting concept and one that even I have a hard time comprehending and embracing. However, if I can look beyond my wanting to be so virtuous, I can see the truth and meaning behind it.

I think the key thing is that if you can really tune into that person’s feeling and allow yourself to absorb where they are coming from you should be able to discern the person’s true nature. If you use your instinct and trust your gut, you’ll be able to tell whether the person is truly honest or not. If you detect that this is a truly good person, then you will be able to realize that there is some special reason behind any lie they might tell. It could be embarrassment or shame or any personal feelings that they don’t want exposed. It’s possible they have told a lie because they have a fear of rejection if they told you the truth. It’s self protection and I bet if you looked at your past, you might even find a time when you told a “white lie” in order to protect yourself.

Take the person as a whole. Ask yourself how much that one particular lie matters in the grand scheme of things. Is it possible that you or they have misinterpreted something and therefore it’s not even a lie?

It’s a concept worthy of thought. Why not contemplate it this week and see what it does to you. Let your gut feel things.

Comment on this if you’d like.

“The brain is the focusing mechanism that you are utilizing here. But there is consciousness that is outside of what you call the human focus of the brain. That’s this vibrational thing we continually talk about. We talk about vibration. We talk about Energy. We talk about thought. And eventually, once enough momentum has occurred, you will feel emotion. We want to acknowledge that the emotions that you feel are manifestations. And there is a significant amount of momentum that has occurred before your emotions show you how well aligned, or not, you are with that Broader Perspective.” —Abraham (Excerpted from the book: Co-creating at Its Best on November 13, 2013)

The key to today’s Abraham excerpt is your emotions are the most powerful possession you have. You can create anything with your emotions. Think back to the various powerful emotions you’ve had – was it anger, rage, love, disgust, what? I remember when I had been so frustrated by the fact that at the very last minute the house I was due to move into in 3 days fell through and I had to find a house in record time. My mother, my realtor and I were driving around northern Virginia all weekend. While my mother and the realtor were chatting away in the front seat, I was pouting and becoming more and more frustrated in the back seat. Finally I just shouted out “I’m NOT moving twice” (which I would have had to do if we didn’t find a house that I could move into on short notice).  Within 20 minutes (all of which was driving) we found the perfect house! It was a model so all the utilities were hooked up and everything was ready to go and no one had to move. I could inhabit the house the NEXT DAY! That was the power of my emotions. I was letting the Universe know that I had made up my mind and it better listen. The vibration I sent out was phenomenal and powerful. The Universe listened and delivered my desire.

I think this is one way that violence and how it perpetuates so quickly. Think of the power behind the rage one or more people exhibit. This emanates out to the Universe and attracts others with the same degree of vibration. It becomes a chain reaction. More and more folks are drawn into the grouping of hating people. And you know what? The rage and hatred does NOT have to be about the same thing. It’s the emotion, not the target. So, if you’re a person with a lot of hate or anger and you’re within reach of this energy field, you’ll be drawn into it in order to express your own rage, no matter how you really feel about the original person’s “cause”. This is why it’s so dangerous and spreads so vehemently.

Examine your emotions and use the positive ones to bring you the goodness you desire.  Harness your own power and let the windmill (the Universe) bring you what you want. Along those same lines, though, be careful about the things you are putting your emotions into. If you’re struggling with something whether it be debt or relationship or health issues, do NOT put the emotional energy into them – not even into “not wanting” this. What you focus on is what you’ll get more of. Focus on something good that’s coming out of the experience, something you’re learning perhaps. Use each experience to help you concentrate on the good and charge your emotional vibration.

“If we had a child, or anyone, and we caught them doing something inappropriate, we would not amplify it with our words. We would identify what it is we do not want, and then out of it would come the rocket of desire of what we do want, and then we would just visualize, visualize, visualize, until we find peace within our vision. When you make someone and their action the heart of a vision that you’ve spent time on — your relationship improves, your experience is better, and they receive the benefit of the experience. But if you catch them, and see them, and worry about it, and put mechanisms in place to prevent it, now you have not only amplified it, you have now made a commitment that is hooking you both into that, until usually it gets big enough that you break apart, and then you attract others to fulfill that role.”
—Abraham – Excerpted from the workshop: Chicago, IL on April 25, 1999

Bottom line what this says is that you should put your attention where you want it to go, not necessarily where it is at the present moment. If you’re upset or mad, take some deep breaths and then visualize what it is you’d like (or where you’d like to be). Do NOT spend time being upset and angry even if it’s justified. Because what does that do? It simply brings more of the bad situation (more for you to be mad about) into your life. And that is definitely not what you want to happen.

Focus on what you want; on how you want things to turn out. Even if they don’t turn out exactly that way, I guarantee you that they will turn out better than if you just focus on the  way things are right now if they aren’t going the way you want. You do not need the additional stress you create by focusing on the negative momentum.  Remove as much stress from your life as you possibly can. You’re going to have some stress that you’re unable to do anything about but there are stresses that you can control.

Try to get off whatever the bad things are and move to your desires and get the momentum going in that direction.
