Abraham On War: from www.abraham-hicks.com

There is enough of everything, for everybody

We really want you to get into the realization that, your lack-based conclusions are erroneous, and not validated. Your conclusion that there isn't enough of something—whether it is enough land or enough money, or enough clarity—your feeling that there is not enough of something, stems from you learning, without meaning to, a vibration that holds you apart from what you want. But you imply that there's not enough in the bucket, that there's not enough in the pile, that there's not enough in the Source—that the Source of what you want is somehow limited. And since the Source is limited, then those greedy buggers that have managed to figure out how to get it in their life, are somehow depriving you of it. And we say, oh, you could not be further from the fact of the abundance of Source.

There is no limitation. If you can identify a desire for it, Source recognizes your desire, and immediately begins to deliver it to you—and it will manifest in your experience in the variety, in the fullness, in the way that you, and only you, learn to allow it.

So, if you stand in your now and you say, "Look at where I am. Where I am, justifies the desire that is conjuring within me. It is really important that I have this, or this, or this—because, after all, I am living in the deprivation of it. And the deprivation of it has served me to identify that I want it. I want that thing that I do not have. I want that thing that I do not have! I want that thing that I do not have. I really, really want that thing that I really, really, really do not have!" And we say, you cannot be equally focused upon the absence of something, and bring it swiftly into your experience at the same time, because in your awareness that you do not have it, you are offering a vibration. And the vibration that you're offering, is sending a signal to the Universe that says, "I am one who does not have this." The Universe, is based upon the Law of Attraction, which says, "The vibration that you emit is the vibration that you receive." You cannot set your radio for 98.6 and receive the broadcast from 101 FM—you understand that. And you cannot set your sender to the "I don't have enough money," and be in the place of receiving all the money that you want, because the signals do not line up—and Law of Attraction is responding to the vibration of your Being. Nice, isn't it? Nice to know. So consistent—always consistent. No one affects you, but you. Oh, you can watch others, and you can get all revved up about what they're doing. In your watching of others, you can project a vibration that the Universe matches. But your vibration is yours. You have control of your vibration. And when you learn to offer a vibration deliberately, you are the Deliberate Creator of your own experience. And before you learn to offer a vibration deliberately, you are just the creator of your experience—a sort of creator by default.

Am I attracting destructive feelings of injustice?

What is your bugaboo? Jerry came to the room just now with a book that someone has written called Law of Attraction. And when he laid it on the table, Esther felt resistance soaring from her being—not because she does not want you to know about Law of Attraction, but because that is the name of the book they are working on. In other words, she did not want someone to publish a book called Law of Attraction. She knows where her bugaboos are. She can feel what makes her blood pressure rise, what makes her feel negative emotion, what makes her feel injustice, what makes her feel unfairness, what makes her feel taken advantage of. She knows the feeling of that. She also knows that that feeling is destructive to her experience, because if she allows herself to hold the thought that brings forth the feeling, it is destructive to her own experience. She also knows that she cannot control the behavior of others.

She cannot ask others to always ask her how she feels. "How do you feel about the war in Iraq, Esther? It will determine our actions." "How do you feel about the book I am writing, Esther? It will determine my action. If you have any problem with it whatsoever, I will set aside my intentions and I will honor yours." And while Esther may think that would be the perfect world, we say to you, there could only be one. And while each of you would like to be that one...

So, what we are encouraging you to do, is to use the Guidance that comes forth from within you. And as you feel the Guidance that is coming forth from within you, and you recognize that you are feeling upset, and you are able to identify what the Source is that has upset you, and then you say, "Well, clearly I know what I do not want—what is it that I do want?" and you deliberately practice the thought of your desire, in time, anyone can show you anything, and you can maintain your stability, because you have practiced your stability in a sea of what many others may describe as instability.

There will always be those who thrive

There are always those who thrive when masses are dying of sickness. There are always those who thrive economically when economic decline seems to be the order of your nation. There are always those who are clear-minded, even in environments of confusion. You do not need everyone, you do not need anyone, to align with your desire—only you need to align with your desire.

And so, we call this gathering The Art of Allowing, and Esther wants to say to you, if you write a book called The Art of Allowing she will wring your neck. We call this gathering The Art of Allowing, because that is where your work is. The contrast of your time/space reality naturally produces the focused desire within you. And the resources of All-That-Is answer the desire that has been focused. And where your work lies, where all of your work lies, is in finding ways to vibrationally align with your desires. Simply put: you've got to figure out how to feel good, no matter what. You've got to stop saying, "I feel good, mostly, but under these conditions; and that condition needs to change before I can feel better." Because now you are giving all of your power away to others who are making decisions about their lives, which have nothing to do with your lives.

Can I not be affected by them?

So, you say, "Well, how can I separate what they're doing? It feels like what they're doing has something to do with my life. It feels really connected to me. How can you say that it is not connected?" And we say, it is only connected because you are making it connected.

So then you say, "So, what do I do? I put blinders on? I hide myself? How can I drive down the street without being aware of different people having different opinions about whatever is in the news today? How do I keep from bumping up against things that my emotional Guidance System responds to? How do I keep from feeling outrage or concern or blame, or guilt? How do I live in this world and not respond to what's going on?" And we say, we would not want you to live in a world where you are not responding to what's going on. All we are suggesting is that you practice who you are and how you feel, so much, that your response to what they are doing doesn't become more of who you are, than your response to what you are desiring. What we are suggesting is, that you think so much about who you are, and what you are doing—that what others are doing that feels like it is happening in relationship to you—is a miniscule part of the picture of that which is You.

We want you to be so grounded in your environment and attitude and Energy of Well-being, that when someone that you know contracts a disease, you don't feel vulnerable, because, by association, you don't superimpose their experience over yours. But you only are able to do that when you've practiced your own intent and belief in your own Well-being long enough that you don't feel tentative. If you feel tentative, you're easily swayed. If you feel tentative on your subject of your physical Well-being, then you are easily swayed into an Energy, or a feeling, of discomfort, and even sickness. In other words, it's all about how you are projecting your thought—how you are practicing your vibration—what you are teaching yourself, vibrationally.
It all depends on your practiced focus

As we are moving forward here today, we will assist you in recognizing what the vibration of your Being is. And since nothing matters to you other than your personal, individual alignment with your personal, individual goals or desires, then that is where our work is.

We are not here to debate the rightness or the wrongness of what you, or anyone, chooses. We are not taking sides, for, or against, anything. We are here to help you understand that, as individuals, your life can be as wonderful or as horrible as you allow it to be. And it all depends upon the focus that you practice. And therein lies the basis of anyone's success: How much do I practice the thoughts that bring me joy, and how much do I practice the thoughts that bring me pain?
Must we "allow" ourselves to experience pain?

So, if you're walking along in a body that feels good and in an environment that feels good, and you see a raging, fiery, hot stove, do you think that it would be a good thing for you to learn how to walk up to the hot stove, lay your body up against it, and survive? Is that what The Art of Allowing is? Learning to allow or endure the most uncomfortable of situations, but keep your mouth closed and don't squawk about it, is that what Allowing is? Not even close.

Allowing is: Walking through the room where the hot stove exists, and recognizing that there may be benefit from it, and utilizing that benefit, if there is. And if there is not benefit for you, then walking on by and ignoring it, understanding that others may choose to participate with it, or not. Walking through the room, having your experience with it, coming to your personal, individual conclusions about it, and then practicing thought that causes you, then, to live a comfortable life experience.

And so, you say, "Well, Abraham, that's a pretty elementary analogy. I understand the value of the stove, and I can see where it can serve me or not serve me. And I've learned my place with it, and I can extract the benefit from it. And it is really rare, it only happened once or twice when I was really little, that, in my not knowing, I bumped up against it and had a negative experience. So, Abraham, are you telling me that everything is like that stove?" And we say, yes, exactly. Every thought, every condition, every exposure to every experience. You can participate with it; you can receive positive experience from it, or negative experience from it, but you get to choose. Or, you can receive no experience from it. You can make it a vibrational non-issue in your experience.
You're not powerless in a power-seeking world

Where humans get into trouble, is where they say, "But now I have to find my experience or my relationship with this stove (or whatever) and I want everyone else to have the same experience with it. I want us to join together in clubs and groups, and I want us to express our harmony about the idea. And we will form bands of protesters that will push against those who disagree with us. And eventually, we will sort it out on a world forum, and we will come to one agreement." And we say, why does it have to be that way? Why can it not be individual agreement? And you say, "Because..." and here's the crux of your worry, "because I'm but one person with one opinion. And those that do band together in their opinions will run over the top of me. I'm powerless in a world that seeks power." And we say, that is what we are wanting to help you to understand: We want to help you regain your clarity about your individual power. Everyone has it. No one can ever take it away from you. No one can ever do anything "bad" to you. No one can assert into your experience. Everything, without exception, comes only by your individual invitation to it.

So you say, "But, Abraham, I would not ask for something that I do not want." And we say, you do it all the time, because you do not understand the process of asking. The process of asking is achieving vibrational harmony with something. When you give something your attention and it becomes your dominant vibration relative to the subject, that is your asking. You say, "No, I'm asking for Well-being. How could not Well-being come into my experience?" And we say, because you often are not a vibrational match to Well-being. You're finding too many things to fuss about. You're finding too many things to be upset about. You're finding too many injustices—too many things that make you feel negative emotion.

Nothing's more important than to feel good

The only way that we have ever seen that any of you can use the Guidance that you were born with is by making this statement and really meaning it and coming to live it: "Nothing is more important than that I feel good. Nothing is more important than that I am consciously aware of the vibrational mix of that which I am giving my attention to. Nothing is more important than that I read the vibration of my Being in this moment, to know whether it's a life-giving moment, or a life-squelching moment; whether it is the allowing of Well-being, or the disallowing of Well-being."

So, Deliberate Creating is not so much about looking out into the world and saying, "Oh, there are things that are good that I want to create or attract into my experience, and there are things that are bad that I don't want to create or attract into my experience." Deliberate creating is more about deliberate allowing. Deliberate allowing is more like deliberate vibration. Deliberate vibration is more about deliberately feeling good—deliberately feeling good. Feeling good: not because there is a reason to, and not because the president is making the best decision, and not because my body looks exactly how I want it to look, and not because everybody is treating me in the way I think I should be treated—but feeling good because I want so much to feel good, that I look only where I feel good when I look. "I stopped saying to the world, or to my mother, or to my daughter, or to my husband, or to my friend, or to my government, or to anyone, I stopped saying, 'You need to do something different so that I can feel good,'" which is so disempowering, because you know they're not going to do what you want them to do! You can't get big enough; you can't get enough bombs; you can't get enough armies; you can't get enough resources to make them think like you do!

Your only path is to want so much to feel good, that you train yourself, thought by thought, subject by subject, in the direction of what does feel good, so that you allow yourself vibrational alignment with the Source and resources and circumstances, and events, that allow the perfection of your life—by your choice, to unfold.
Individually, you are each such powerful Beings

You are such powerful Beings! As we behold you individually, one by one, we say, you have as much power as the president of this nation for the controlling of your life experience. In fact, there's not one of you in this room who doesn't have more power than he does right now. The bombardment of ideas, the bombardment of perspectives, the bombardment of information, true and false, that he's receiving—he cannot possibly align with Source under these conditions. You can.

So then you say, "Ah, that's worrying. He's making decisions and he's not aligned with Source?" And we say, his worldwide influence is miniscule in comparison with the billions of people who are individually requesting, from their personal perspective, what they desire. Your government is not the vortex through which your Well-being flows. The vortex through which your Well-being flows is within you! It is vibrationally felt by you. It is, if you're wanting to put your finger on it, it is right in your solar plexus where your emotional center is. And so, reclaim it. Make this statement and mean it: "Nothing is more important than that I feel good. Thought by thought, moment by moment, I'm going to open my valve and I'm going to let the good times roll."

A parking lot brawl, escalated

Let's bring it down to something that's easy to get your thoughts around for a moment. So, let's say that there are two people who have a disagreement that you don't understand, that are arguing in the parking lot. And as you walk by, you hear their argument, but you are used to things going well for you. And so, while you couldn't help but hear them, you wonder, sort of, how you even got there. You don't give it very much attention. But someone that you are with turns and hears them a little bit, and says to you, "Wait up for just a moment." Now, your natural instinct isn't to get involved in something like this, but you have another intention, and that is to stay with the friend, or lover or mate, that you came with. So, while you do not have an intention to get involved in any argument, in fact, that's not the nature of you, you do have an intention to stay with this person who has other peripheral intentions. And so, it turns out that the person that you are with has had a parking lot or two scuffles of his own, and is only peripherally interested, so he just stops for a moment and as he listens, he hears something that stirs something within him, and now he feels that he must take action, because he can see that the big one is clearly going to beat up on the little one.

And so, your friend now gets involved, and now you're involved. Now, somebody else comes, and somebody else comes, and before you know it, you have a whole lot of people that are, sort of, gathered around this issue that really did not have anything to do with the beginning of it. But the more you listen, and the more you begin to talk among yourselves, the more you begin to take sides. And then you can clearly see that this one is right, or you can clearly see that this one is right. And now, because of your involvement with it over a period of a few days or weeks or months, or years, it begins to feel very personal to you as you begin to really relate to the issue. And so, you get these things activated within yourself. And so, that, in a very scanty way, is exactly the sort of thing that escalates into these culminations that evolve into world events. It is our promise to you, that if mass consciousness were not involved nothing could ever escalate to be something that is played out on the world stage. It would play out in the parking lot. But the more people get involved in it, then the more energy is around it, and then, the more large the events must come about.

Twin Towers, 9/11/01, and culminations of Energies

When your Twin Towers were struck by airplanes on 9/11, it was a huge culmination of energies that had been going on for a long time. But when you think about it, it was a very small representation; it certainly was not a world war; it certainly was not a world event. It was proportionate to the energies that had been stirred. But now, as a result of all of the attention that's been offered to it, it is becoming a bigger energy. And it could not amass that energy, if there were not millions of people that are getting collectively involved with it. In other words, it's just a parking lot brawl that got bigger—that's all it is.

But a leader of a nation... In other words, Jerry says, from time to time, "Why don't George and Saddam just go fight it out?" [good idea] And Esther says, "Because Saddam would whup George, and then we would be in trouble. In other words, I'm not sure I really want the balance of power to rest on that. We will start choosing our presidents with different criteria, if that were the new rule of the world."

So, that's why, the two statements that we made earlier, we really want you to hear both of them. One: there will always be war, whether it's in a parking lot, or it will be as big as you choose to participate within and give power to it. But second: Well-being is always the dominant Energy. And so, you speak it in terms like, "The pendulum is swinging." And we say, don't make someone else's parking lot brawl about you. Don't become involved in it. Don't let them bring you into it. Don't let them make you use it as your excuse to deny the Energy. If you are really wanting to bring your government to the place that it cannot wage war, then don't get involved in it and add your Energy to it, you see. It is so wonderful when you realize that you can be joyful without anybody else ever figuring it out. And that the majority of people, when they focus upon their own experiences, do live in joy. We would make the parking lot brawl, no matter how big it seems, a non-issue to our vibrational experience. And if everyone would do it, there wouldn't be enough Energy for George Bush or Saddam to have a war. They'd be having a parking lot brawl.
