I would like to talk about this...
As many of you know I have talked about a blockage that I have when listening to Abraham Hicks. I have stated many times that I find conflicting comments made and that I dont take much stock in the channeling.
I have been watching and listening to many on this site and taking notes. I see so many frustrated, writing blogs of being STUCK, whining about not seeing INTENTIONS being MANIFESTED along with a long list of complaints and ending there blog with "Ester/Abraham Hicks" said this or that.
My thoughts while reading these blogs and discussions go to "If the Abraham Hicks thing is not benificial to you, why are you following it so closely".
I am trying to move past this blockage, and in my practice I have been trying to watch some of their videos on Youtube, to help me discover what it is that is so bothersome.
I ponder many of the things that are said and find some perplexing.
Example:
Subject, "Going with the flow". Abraham said everyones stream is different, however the source of the stream is the same. I am clear about the source. I dont agree with the many streams Abraham talks of. Abraham also said that the streams are all moving at a different speed.
I can only affirm that there is only one Source and one one stream. We are fragments of the Source(making us all one with the source) that ride the same stream. When we are in the flow we align with others that are also going with the flow.
Now let me paint a picture. That stream is going an a very fast rate of speed. It is coming from JOY/LOVE/GIVING at a very high speed. How do I know this? Because Source/God/Universe knows of nothing else.
To be in the flow you must be UP TO SPEED.
Imagine the river/stream being a FreeWAY in your home town. The speed is 60 miles per hour. You would like to get on that FREEWAY. You take the ON RAMP and to merge into the flow of traffic you need to increase your speed to 60 (to go with the flow). That is your picture of the alignment.
Now imagine getting on the FREEWAY at a slower speed. WE all know what happens when this happens. TOTAL chaos ! You have cars zooming past you, horns beeping at you, along with other not so nice things that I won't mention. Do you see how you are not in alignment.
Now to address another part of this getting on to the FREEWAY.
Imagine your trying to get on to the FREEWAY heading up the OFF RAMP instead of the ON RAMP. I dont think I have to paint that picture for you. Its pretty clear the outcome will not be a good one.
Would you like to talk about this?...Respectfully, Jilly

Abraham sucks!
...Just kidding :))
I have spent the majority of my journey with Abraham Hicks. I got to a point where Abraham Hicks teachings made me feel, more nervousness, worried about what I was attracting into my life through my thoughts. If I had a negative thought I would feel bad for having a negative thought. And it was a continuous thing like that.
That's why I had to come away from reading, listening, watching pretty much everything that went on about the Law of attraction. And you know what, I felt much better, I felt relive from it. Where as before I was constantly worried about my thoughts attracting negative things into my life.
Now, I make sure I aim to feel good as much as I can. I mediate daily. I show appreciation. BUT I don't 'control' my thoughts, or even guide them to be true. If and when I do, I feel negative emotion, about the negative emotion of the negative thought! Haha.
So now I just go with the flow, and let my thoughts fall where they may. Thinking positive, instead of realistic or hopeful about an outcome, makes me feel negative emotion. It's most likely because I have done it so many times in the past, with the outcome not being as I had wanted. Which makes me see it being a wast. Because the pain is greater when you get all hopeful feeling it as if it has happened, feeling awesome and amazing. Then getting the realistic truth, that feels like being stabbed in the gut, so yeah not nice.
Now I don't do it. I would rather not. Now I just say to my self, if it happens, it happens, if it don't it don't. Whatever. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. Whatever. That way I just let what ever happens, happen. I just let go and leave it up to the universe. But I really do get to a place where, it would be awesome to ''get it'' but I am fine if I don't.
Not really into Abraham Hicks no more. When I do watch the odd video now and then it does interest me, specially random topics about life in general, like ''What is it like when we die'' and stuff.
Watching the Shift with Dr Wayne Dyer was the last person that really, really struck a cord with me. I mean I really felt something watching that movie. I like Wayne Dyer. I have yet to read his books though! When I start reading again, he will be on the top of my list.
I think it's best to not force nothing, and just go with the flow. I find that forcing things to work, does not work. All it will do is bounce you back. I have learned so much since I started this spiritual journey, and I will continue to learn as time goes on and I will never, ever stop learning.
I think it best to go with what ever resonates with YOU. Things are changing all the time. Through your life experience, the knowledge you gain, the people you meet, the contrast you see. So there is never a one thing solves all solution. Only a solution for this present moment in time. What could not work for you now in the present moment could be the one thing that resonates with you, 2 years from now.
Also, seeing a different side to the same story, helps to see the full picture. It's all on about the same stuff anyway!!!

Thank you TeeJay. You are just as cute as a button the way you say things. I hope your post resanates with others. I am glad you moved on however I am also glad that you kept an open heart to go back to Abraham on occasion. I never ment to imply that there was something wrong with the teachings. I used them as an example only. Doing so because first hand with them I had the same effect of not wanting to listening to them. Some may have this with other teachings...point being, if something doesnt resinate with you and it is causing you discord...by all means move on. Dont conform to the masses as in "if everyone else is doing it, I must to".
LOL...I used Wayne Dyer as an example also only because I happen to be in the middle of one of his books, as I am participating in a book group here on co-creators. The book is very good however I can imagine some will resinate with him as we have and some wont.
Regarding: Going with the flow
Case in point...If Abraham Hicks does not resinate with you...and you continue to watch/listen/read the teachings, you would not be going with the flow huh.
Good to see you TeeJay...You are insightful...There is never a one thing solves all solutions (well put my friend).
Love and Light, J

it's funny how different ppl are. I adore teejay but we are so different. for me it's the total opposite... doing what he stated does not make me nervous at all, in fact it makes me feel powerful, as in 'I can shape mt life? wow!!!' also I listened to and read the books of wayne dyer many years before I ran across abraham (although I absolutely love him still). we're all just at different places in so many respects. I think it is really neat, actually! oh, and I have read eckhart tolle, too :) name it, I have probably read it! although last time I went to the chapters they didn't have nancy van dromelin (is that right J?)

There seems to be an inoordinate amount of time focussing on Abraham hicks which begs the question: how much time and energy is being allocated to the the ego? if anyone is obsessing on this subject, it might be time for an honest reflection.
High vibe,
Michael

Wow..this discussion is amazing. Jilly, I couldn't thank you enough. I always felt that when you discuss something , it brings clarity and also if you know a concept and you teach it to others, you become more clear about it.
I wanted to mention that at one point Jilly specifically told me in one of these discussions that if Abraham's teachings are not working for you, move on. And even after reading Jilly's input I couldnt never move on, because it wasnt that I was frustrated because of not getting what I want. It was that I was wanting to understand more clearly, why things happen. Besides, abraham's teachings are an explanation of universal laws, whether you believe it or not it works that way anyway. And i know that is correct because that is also consistent with quantum physics. So, in a way Jilly is trying to look out and be helpful but ultimately its upto the person on the hot seat (which was me) to decide to take that advice or not based on what feels right.
Lastly, I want to mention that I am extremely happy today. I mean EXTREMELY HAPPY. For those of you who read my previous discussions, you know that I have been wanting to manifest the perfect partner--the "one" lol. And something amazing happened yesterday. I think I found the one. ANd we are both really into each other, and we'll see what happens but from my side I think I would love to keep him for the rest of my life. We met few weeks ago but yesterday we realised what it is. Its majical. Even he said that he thinks I am the answer to his prayers..lol .Again he does not fit what I had on my list of the ideal partner exactly, but is extremely close and I am wanting to forget about the missing ones. So Jilly...I am not a whiner...LOL... See I have some good news ! Again, its new so I was a bit hesitant to share this, but again I wanted to make a point that Abraham's teachings are working for me. At least the manifestations are getting closer and closer. Please send me only love blessings and good wishes in sealing this particular manifestation. I feel good things are coming. also in sync with what I said earlier " buckle up a big ride is coming" ...lol

I feel the same way carla. I am not into villainising the ego. it is part of being a physical human. embrace it and love it for it makes our human form possible! to me, nothing is not spirit so what's the difference :)

Ok this is a can of worms to be open. I dont want to go further to discuss it her but let me just say that I disagree. The ego keeps us from Awakening. It is holding you back from realizing you are in a deep sleep. It wants to keep you asleep. Well Carla knows I dont agree with her on this so she can pass over this as I already know her opinion on this..We have been over this several time.
Ego is what brings up the past old beliefs and wants you to live in the past. It also has a cunning nack of aiding you in thinking of what could be in the furture (worring about something that has not happened yet) Ego has no use for the NOW. Ego does not want you to experience new creative ideas and most of all it does not want to let you have the power you once had. It wants to have the power over you and it wants to keep that power. You are absolutely right...it is what keeps you human in this dense human form of a body in a 3 dimensional world. It surpresses you. It keeps you from creating on that magical scale. It is what keeps you from manifesting that creative juice we call love and joy. Respectfully, J

and I knew you were going to respond to that :) I know you disagree. I just mean that when others say it is bad and want to get rid of it, I am more the mind of 'integrate it' and work with it to become a whole person. I like what you said though about it keeping us human in a 3 dimensional world, that's a good point. I just think it is semantics and talking about it makes my head hurt! ")

Hmmm, You have a very healthy outlook in my opinion. You see it is of my opinion that you cant get rid of it but when in a conscious mind you can control who has power...YOU or the EGO. I dont believe you can get rid of it.
Ok, not more about it if your head hurts...
Sending you a mighty head hurt healing..J -
