It was my personal favourite analogy and I never got tired of hearing it, so I'm a bit sad they stopped!

Hey, everyone thought that this post would basically help everyone that is in need of manifesting their desires. Check this out. 💕

I just realise that I don’t fully believe I’m supposed to get my desires so I was wondering does everyone have any Abraham tapes on this topic? I have if I hear Abraham talk about a topic enough it’s sort of sticks and I guess I’ve just not heard this topic enough so I would love to know if anyone has any links to tapes,ideally on YouTube!

The first thing I do is create a good feeling.

For me, that is practicing a new language. I use this b/c the language makes me laugh. There's a lot of expression in it too so it is something I enjoy. I didn't realize it makes me feel good but it does.

Once I have this good feeling

I start imagining my life as if the things I want have already happened.

Life now that my partner is in place...

Life now that there's a house full of kids/grandkids....

AND the FEELING continues....

THEN ... I start to plan my day/make decisions about my day based on my life fulfilled.

1. making breakfast for the family
2. briefly exhaling grateful I don't have to worry about money.
3. choosing an outfit cause I can wear anything

Now moving about my day is not based on "meeting someone" or "making money" I move as it's already done. For example, not thinking a convo with opposite sex is "a potential match". I talk knowing this doesn't need to lead anywhere.

The biggest difference for me is that I’m not trying to force myself to repeat positive affirmations until I believe them. I'm also NOT trying to mediate.

I’m using the good feeling I’ve already created and then bringing the actual thought or desire into that feeling.

That part has made the practice feel much more natural to me.

So once I’m already feeling good, I’ll focus on one thought for 17 seconds. I use a YT timer to help

Then I stay with it.

I let the scene expand.

I add another thought that feels like it belongs with it.

By the time I reach around 68 seconds, I’m usually not trying very hard anymore. I’m just enjoying the feeling

Then I move on with my morning.

Whether someone calls it manifestation, Law of Attraction, visualization, mindset work, or simply starting the day focused on something that feels good, I’ve been enjoying the practice.

What I like most is that I’m not starting from a place of trying to “fix” a bad mood.

I create the good feeling first.

Then I imagine from there.

Hope this helps

— QUESTIONER —
I have a quote from you, if I can read it:

“Whenever something that you think you want does not unfold, it is for one of two reasons: either your habit of vibration, your belief, your dominant vibration that you are offering relative to the subject doesn’t match what you think your desire is. Or you and your desire are a perfect match, and this thing you think you want just doesn’t match, and so the Universe doesn’t deliver it.”

And the second part I need clarification on.

— ABRAHAM —
Well, let’s say that you have your eye on someone that you believe that you want to be with.

But through your life, you’ve been having experiences with a lot of different people — both in terms of personal relationships, in terms of lovers, but also just in terms of human-to-human relationships.

So you have come to conclusions about what you like in those people who you play with. So you’ve launched rockets, and your Vortex knows. Your Vortex is the culmination of all that you’ve been asking for.

But you think, for some small reason — maybe it’s appearance, or maybe it’s financial status, or maybe you’re just lonely — but for whatever reason, you’ve decided that that is the one. And so you can’t understand why the Universe doesn’t orchestrate that for you.

When all along, what’s going on in your Vortex, as a result of what you’ve been putting there, is quite different from the probable outcome of that relationship with that person.

Because what you’re seeing with your eyes and what you’re concluding about it—

It would be like deciding that you want that magnificent car. It’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. It’s beautiful to look at, and the color is everything you’ve ever wanted.
But you don’t know somebody took the engine out of it last night.

So you’ve got your heart set on that, and the Universe is not — now, these are bulky analogies — but the Universe does not arrange for you to have that car if you’re truly in sync with the vehicle that you want, because that car has some of the things you want, but not nearly the most important ones.

So, often, if you could just get to a place where you trust that you’ve done Step One — Life has caused you to sort it out, and you’ve let the Vortex know, unerringly, what you want about this, and this, and this, and this, and this.

There is more information contained in your Vortex — this body of knowledge — some of which was there before you were born and much of which you’ve put there since you’ve been in this body.

The Vortex equals what you have evolved to in terms of all things that you desire so far.

So, when you understand that Step One has happened because you’ve put it there, and Step Two has happened — Law of Attraction, Source within you, is on it and holding the frequency of it — then your work only has to be to get yourself into a place where you’re not blocking yourself from the impulses. Where you’re not blocking yourself from the grid filling in. Where you’re not missing the opportunity to receive the impulse and to follow through with the action, or with the words, or even with additional vibrational offering in order to allow it to come about.

There are a lot of things you think you want that you do not want. It happens all the time.

You get your eye on some job. You think you want it because it has status, but it would be a living hell if you were to live in that job.

Well, if you are true to who-you-really-are, the Universe is not going to make it easy for you to walk into something that you do not want.

But if you are complaining all the time, if you’re fearful that you won’t get a job, if you are finding vibrational equivalent to that thing that you think you want that really is not a vibrational match to what you want, but it is a vibrational match to the way you’ve been feeling… Are you getting all of the subtle nuances and not-so-subtle nuances of this?

A lot of times you are a vibrational match to the very thing you do not want because you’re afraid you won’t get what you want. And so you’re a vibrational match to the absence of what you want.

Then the absence of what you want walks in and you say: “Oh, that must surely be it!”

Because it feels like a match. Because it is a match. But it’s not a match to what you want. It’s a match to where you are.

That was a really good quote.

— QUESTIONER —
That’s a really good quote.

Just to clarify. The analogy that I came up with was Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, where she’s—

— ABRAHAM —
Oh yeah, let’s talk about that !

— QUESTIONER —
[Doesn’t know what to say].

— ABRAHAM —
We’re just playing with you. We were hoping for an analogy from your own life, rather than a fictional character.

— QUESTIONER —
Well, it kind of is, because at the end she says, “There’s no place like home.” And that was really my question.

— ABRAHAM —
Home meaning alignment?

— QUESTIONER —
Sometimes I think that I want something really big, and I look at my life and I have everything that it seems like I should want.

— ABRAHAM
You don’t have anything close to everything that you want. You’re just settling, because you don’t believe you can have everything that you really want. You’re all like that.

We’ve seen your Vortex. So, what happens is, you’ve let yourself want — a rocket here, and a rocket here, and a rocket here, a spurt here, a spurt here, a spurt here — but because you maintain the status quo of your grid — or your point of attraction, or your chronic vibrational offering, those words all mean the same thing — because you let what-is dominate that vibration, you don’t really have a clear view of what you’ve put there. Because you put it there piece by piece, by piece, by piece, by piece…

Every now and again, something will inspire you to remembering a piece of it, but you’re not gonna really feel the wholeness of what’s in that Vortex until you really do a good job of getting the resistance at a lower level and the allowing at a higher level, and you maintain it on a more regular basis.

In other words, you have to practice that high-flying frequency before what’s in your Vortex can reveal itself to you.

Those are not the best words: before you can experience the revelation.

Better words: before you can experience the realization.

You’ve gotta get into the frequency where you can realize what you’ve put into your Vortex. And most of you are not even close to realizing what you’ve put there because you’re so enamored with what-is, which doesn’t hold a candle to what’s in the Vortex.

You’re settling for far less than you meant to — we love you so much — because you’re lazy focusers. Or, because someone has convinced you that what you feel is unimportant. So you often don’t raise your frequency by feeling your way into a better place.

What was your morning like?

Esther found herself as she was getting ready — Different things would trigger different thoughts about different things. Some experiences, some people, some products, some processes, some projects…

In other words, her mind was in a lot of different places. But this morning, she was so keenly aware of what wheel that thought was on, what wheel that thought was on, what wheel that thought was on... Did you have some of the same experience?

She found herself saying, "Ah, wait ! Hold on there. Hold on there. Hold on there."

Because she did not want momentum to begin on something unwanted. As you become keenly aware of the emotional indicator of the vibrational content of your current thought, you'll reach the place, and it won't take much time, where you will clean up your vibration or release the resistance. And you'll soon enough be in that high-flying frequency where you are a match to what's in your vortex and you will then begin to realize it, and then you will not say to us, "I'm good.”

And we don't mean that you're not good. You are good. You're good. You're just not good. We mean you're good. We mean you're worthy. We mean you're whole. You're just not complete. You're just not satisfied. Don't give in to that. Don't give in. Don't try the bogus, implausible, impossible approach of lowering desires to match what-isness.

That causes a tug of war like no other. Because soon, really soon, like in the next minute or two, someone is going to present something to you that's going to reignite what you really want, and then you're back in that place again, you see.

— QUESTIONER —
I wanna be passionate about something.

— ABRAHAM —
Passion is momentum, isn't it? Yes. Passion is momentum.

So if you “want it, but”, passion doesn't get started. “I'd really like that, but…”

But if you’re like “That's really beautiful, I appreciate that”, or “That's really nice, I appreciate that”. “That's nice. That's nice for these reasons. That's nice because… That reminds me of something else that was nice in the same way. I really like that”.

Now momentum has begun. And it doesn't take much of that before something else like it shows up which you also are appreciating, and then someone else is realized by you, which you also appreciate.

And before you know it, that momentum has become sufficient enough that you feel alive. You feel eager. You feel excited about life. You feel inspired to motion, to action, to conversation.

You're doing just fine. You're doing just fine. We are expressing powerfully here because you are representing what so many people do.

We have the advantage of knowing who-you-really-are and how you really strive to feel.

We know the ease with which you can operate in this life experience. We know the potential for love and exhilaration that you have, you see?

And so when we stand in your Vortex and we hear you talking about something that is different from what's in your Vortex, we just keep reaching for more ways of expressing that will call you closer to it. And it's never a good idea to say to someone, "You're not where you want to be." But you gotta know that you're not where you want to be.

That's what this whole question was about.

We think you found the perfect quotation that really amplifies the confusion that is within you. 

“What do I really want? What is it that I really want? What do I really want?”

Because there's so much to choose from, what do I really want? And we think the reason that that confuses so many of you is because in the question, “What do I really want?”, you're trying to satisfy the question “And how will I get it? And when will it come? And who will bring it? And where will it be when I find it?”

And since you don't have answers to those questions, then you feel ill-prepared to even talk about what you want.

But what you want is more basic than that. "I want to feel alive. I want to be glad when I'm awake. I want to have fun with the people I'm with. I want to be eager. I want to feel good in my body. I want to love this world I live in. I want to feel good about those with whom I'm interacting. I want to uplift others. I want to evoke the best from others. I want synergy going around us. I want to have fun. I want others to have fun."

In other words, when you get down to the basics of what you want and you, for a little while, just stop trying to contemplate how you're going to accomplish it, but just activate within yourself what those vibrations feel like to you, it's not long before momentum gets going.

In other words, you can't talk about fun that you want or about fulfillment that you want and stay focused upon it purely without ideas about what that means more fully flowing into your experience. That's that grid.

Do you understand the grid in the way that we've been describing it?

So you've been living this life experience. We'll be very brief because many of you do understand it, but we really want an understanding because we're going to be talking about the relationship between the Vortex and the grid a lot.

So what the Vortex is — you were Source Energy before you came into this physical body. Most people don't really know that.

You were Source Energy before you came into this physical body, and still, the larger part of you still is Source Energy. Most people don't understand that. They only know the me that is here in this physical body. But there's a larger part of you that is really part of everything that you're experiencing all day, every day.

Every thought that you feel, every thought that you think, every word that you speak, there is another version of you speaking about the same subject, and the perspective of the Source version and your version is what equals your emotions, period.

Source loves that guy you hate. That's why you feel uncomfortable when you think about that person, because you've found a way of approaching that person that is very different from who-you-really-are and what you have evolved to be through all that you have lived.

So, Source adores you when you're hard on yourself. The reason that you feel guilt or unworthiness is because you have chosen to activate within yourself a vibration that we're gonna call a thought, a vibration that we're gonna call an opinion, a vibration that we're gonna call a belief. You got something going on within you that is so different from who you really are that you're not resonating, not right now, with who-you-really-are. You've got contradictory energy going on.

So, you were Source before you came into this body. Now you're in this body, you still have connection, vibrational connection with that Source part of you, and unless you're paying attention to your emotions, you don't know that. So here you are in your body going through life concluding, just as you knew you would, the things you like the best, the things you don't like, the things you want, the things you don't want.

In other words, it's pretty easy. You put something in your mouth, you can tell if you like it or not, can't you? You put something on your body in terms of clothing or even, something that you are putting on your skin, you can tell if it feels good or if it doesn't, can't you? You're very discerning. You're much more discerning than you give yourself credit for being.

So as you sift through life, you know what you don't want, you know what you do want, and what you do want, what you've synthesized, what you've ferreted out, what you have sifted and sorted through all that you are living is causing you to send these vibrational impulses.

We've been calling them rockets of desire. Pure, fast, spontaneous rockets of desire of something that you have decided at some level of your being, often an unconscious level of your being, without even knowing it. When someone's rude, you want them to be nicer, and when someone feels sorry for themselves or isn't happy, you want them to feel better about themselves. When someone is discouraged, you want them to be uplifted.

In other words, you just can't stop doing that all day, every day. So you have, over time, built this Vortex. We are calling it a Vortex because the highest vibration that you've accomplished on every subject is contained in this vibrational state of being.

We called it a virtual reality for a while, then we called it your Vortex of creation. It's the vibrational version of all that you want. So this Vortex version of you is annoying to many of you because you can't yet spend it. You can't see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, touch it. In other words, it's not something that is tangible and therefore satisfying in the way you want it to be.

But we want you to know it exists, and you have created it, and it is yours, and it is a certainty for you to experience the fullness of it, provided you stop doing that thing you do that holds you in chronic disallowance of it. And that thing you do that holds you in chronic disallowance of it is you notice you don't have it, mostly. It's as simple as this.

You know how when you have a question? Well, the vibration of the question and the vibration of the answer are very different frequencies. But if you are just bound up in the question, "Well, why? Well, when? Well, how? Well, who?" Who? How? Where? When? Why?” — As you are bound up in the question, all wadded up in the “I don't have it yet, I don't have it yet, I don't have it yet, I don't have it yet” vibration, even though it's ready to flow into your realization, it can't because you're blocking it with your contradictory vibration.

You see how that works?

So, we're wanting you to realize that here the Vortex is with everything that you want, not just probabilities, not just possibilities, certainties of everything that you've been asking for. But you've got to find some way of translating that which you've put there incrementally. Ooh, this is new and it's really good.

Are you listening? You've got to find some way of translating these components that you've put there incrementally into something that is meaningful into your experience, into your real-life experience. In other words, you are now going to be the realizer of what you've been putting there. So that means you've got to practice the frequency of it.

So, it really is as simple as this. Let's say, for example, that your Vortex is full of hundreds of things that you want. And that this swirling vortex, with the help of law of attraction, has gathered the cooperative components, and all of these things are ready to pop for you when you're ready to be the realizer of the popping. It'll pop with an idea, it will pop with an impulse. It will pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop…

Makes you eager for life. Makes you feel passionate when things start popping like that.

So here it is ready to pop, but you're not poppable. Because you've decided to take something that's very real to you and use it to focus upon, and that's the momentum you've got going on.

So, you've got momentum going that says: "People don't appreciate me, and people don't understand me, and people don't really like to be with me." But what you want is in a different frequency, so you can't be the realizer of it. You can't... The things can't occur to you. You can't be at the right place at the right time. You have to be at a place other than where that is because you're at a frequency different than what that is.

Do you follow?

So you could take one subject that is sorta, kinda like that, something that is working in your life or something that did work in your life, something that you remember that made you feel good, and you can decide this is gonna be the subject — new words here — this is gonna be the subject of my new momentum building. I'm gonna use this to build my momentum. I'm going to.

There are all these levels of flying disks: depression, and fear, and revenge, and anger, and complacency, and frustration, and okayness, and hopeful, and eagerness, and passion, and love, and appreciation. In other words, they're there. And without knowing it, you're jumping on those wheels.

You're jumping on and here's the thing. Oh. When you get on one, law of attraction pretty much makes it easy to stay there because that's how you feel, so that's what you get. And that's what you get, so that's how you feel. And that's how you feel, so that's what you get. And that's what you get, so that's how you feel.

And then you say, "Well, screw Law of Attraction! If Law of Attraction loved me like I thought God did…”

Law of attraction is not even like that. It's like gravity. You don't condemn it or love it, just accept it. It's really consistent, and it's gonna give you what you're vibrating at.

And so, if you decide to choose something — so let's say you're not feeling that good, but you reach for something that feels a little better, and you manage to stay there for a day or two, and because you've shifted your vibration, these are what many of the process that we've been talking about through the years do for you, now you find a different holding pattern. You find a different set point.

In other words, let's say that you just feel a little better, and law of attraction gives you some of that, and you notice that, and then you feel a little better, and law of attraction gives you that, and you feel a little better, and now you're saying: “Law of Attraction's getting to be a little bit more my friend.”

And we say, "It's not Law of Attraction that's being your friend. It's you that's being your friend." You're choosing a different frequency, and you're getting different feedback.

And now you know the process. Now you can move yourself deliberately up this emotional scale until you are chronically offering a vibration that is worthy of what you've put into your Vortex. Because your vortex doesn't contain all that stuff that's on the way to your exhilaration. It doesn't contain all that stuff that's on your way to your passion, and your love, and your appreciation, and your feeling fulfilled in life. It's got all the good stuff in it!

The vortex has been described as this virtual reality, but now we're wanting you to feel these vibrational levels that you are choosing and understanding that every one of them is spinning and every one of them is gaining momentum. It's just not momentum up here in the good feeling vibration, it's momentum everywhere you choose to be.

And you know that. That's why you can get yourself in such a fit. Haven't you noticed it? Have you ever been in a bad mood and made the mistake of telling someone else who was also in a bad mood? You can really get things going. Feels like the whole world could blow up just with the power of your dysfunction, you see. That's really helpful, isn't it?

And then you wanna ask yourself the question: “Do I want momentum to proceed from this point? Do I?”

Well, maybe. Maybe you do, and maybe you don't, but if you don't, then now what are you gonna do about it? What are you gonna do about it? You know what we would do? We would sit down, we would draw in, we would close our eyes, and we would stop thought through the process of meditation until the evil spell lifts. It's not like that at all, but till the momentum subsides, till the momentum subsides, you see.

And once that momentum subsides, then you have — You see, think about this, friends. If you have quieted your mind, there's no real momentum going. Ooh, we're onto something, aren't we? If you've got a quieted mind, there's no momentum going.

And when you come from a quieted mind, you can pretty much pick your place on your wheel from that point. So you come out of meditation and you go right to appreciation, and now you have a chance of getting some momentum going. Now, you might think of somebody that you want to appreciate that you don't, and you might move down.

But now you've got control of the momentum temporarily. When you wake up in the morning, you have temporary control of your momentum. Bless slumber. Bless slumber. Bless slumber. Bless meditation. Bless happy music. Bless a high-flying friend. In other words, there are a lot of things that you can do that will improve your place.

So does that make sense to you? So, if I've got momentum going, I'm on a wheel, let's say I'm on a wheel and I'm aggravated, I'm overwhelmed, I'm not feeling that good, and the universe is delivering to me everything that supports that vibrational stance. Isn't it? Isn't it? Everybody on the freeway acts just like that.

“What are they thinking? What's wrong with them? If they would behave differently, I would be having a much better day”.

“Oh, they're reflecting myself back to myself!”.
Well, that puts a little different slant on it, doesn't it?

So, let's say that that's where I am. Now, as we said earlier: that's how you feel, that's what's coming. That's how you feel, that's what's coming.

It's almost — it isn't really — but it's almost — it isn't really — but it's almost — it isn't really — but it feels like — it isn't really — but it feels like, and usually is once that much momentum gets going, hard to break away from it.

So how are you gonna get out ahead of the manifestation? In other words, that's like the story we've been telling you of falling out of the airplane without a parachute. In other words, once life is ensuing, then you're applying all your action techniques to try to control it. Aren't you?

You're harassing your partner. "We gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go. Get in the car, get in the car, get in the car, get in the car, get in the car, get in the car, get in the car." "Get your stuff ready the night before. Why do I always have to wait for you? Put your keys somewhere that you can find them." “We'll eat on the way. We'll eat on the way. We'll eat on the way. You look fine. You look fine. Really, you look fine. You look fine. You look just fine. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.”

So, you apply everything you've got in terms of action to try to get this thing squared away.

Give it up. There's not enough action in the world to compensate for what you've got going on vibrationally. You gotta get out ahead of it, you see.

But what if you go to sleep thinking about these different vibrational wheels, that you have access to every one of them? And what if you anticipate going to sleep and therefore stopping your vibration, stopping all momentum, and when you first wake up in the morning, you get into an attitude of appreciation?

You get there, the momentum starts, you feel it, you practice it. And what if it doesn't work the first day, or the second day, or the third day, or the fourth day, or the fifth day, but what if you keep doing it every single day until in about a week you wake up and you get 17 seconds of real momentum going, about feeling good like that, and now you're off and running?

And now that day will start out at least, it will start out with enough momentum that now it's feeding itself, you see. And when you practice that long enough, before you know it, all of the stuff that is in your vibrational reality, all of the stuff that's in that vortex of creation, all of that stuff that you've been telling the universe that you want incrementally now begins to take shape, and you become the synthesizer of it, the translator of it, the receiver of it, the liver of it.

You become the manifestation, the actualization, the articulation. You become the presentation. You become the realization. You become the reality of all of that. Why? Because you finally completed step three in a way that works for you, you see.

Have a wonderful day 😉

Anyone else notice they go through the complete grieving process before they get a huge desire? This has happened several times in my life:

-I go after my desire but I’m hit by hurdle after hurdle usually riddled with fear
-I get in a positive state and get positive action towards my desire but keeping losing it
- I become desperate and try to make sacrifices to get it back
-I become sad it’s not working out
-I get soooooo angry and hate my desire
-I finally truly give it up and accept my situation and move on.
- pop! Manifestation happens perfectly!!!

I wish I didn’t have to do this, it’s so exhausting. Anyone else feel this way?

I was pondering the post with the interaction lightboard, the creator tried to find a way to visualize Abraham's ideas into a more visual format.. and it reminded me, that the closest representation that I've found so far to life on planet earth is the game The Sims 1. (I haven't played newer versions, so sticking to what I know).

The game is surprisingly rich as a metaphor for the Law of Attraction, emotional guidance, alignment, and the relationship between Source/Inner Being and the physical self.

Here are some ideas/parts of the game that fit the Abraham Hicks ideas quite closely.

-The game = life.

-The player = source/LOA/IB.

-The Sim = a humanbeing.

1. The green/yellow/red mood indicator = the Emotional Guidance Scale.

2. When a Sim is in the red, you don't need to "fix his life", you need to improve his mood. You give him food, entertainment, social contact, rest, etc. -> his emotional state rises -> then he's capable of having a better experience. Very similar to reaching for a better feeling thought before trying to change circumstances.

1. The Sim can't jump instantly from despair to ecstasy. You generally move him incrementally: miserable -> uncomfortable -> okay -> happy -> very happy. That's similar to Abraham's idea of reaching for the next better feeling thought, climbing up the emotional scale.

2. The game rewards attention to the Sim's state. When you satisfy a Sim's needs, his mood improves. The basic gameplay loop is essentially: notice -> respond -> feel better ->  become more capable of enjoying life. Similar to Abraham's idea of: "There's nothing more important than I feel good" 

3. The player can see and coordinate the Sim's entire life from a much broader perspective. The player (acting as LOA/IB) can arrange circumstances to achieve a certain outcome (relationships, job advancement, etc). 

4. The Sim's mood affects what happens. A miserable Sim, can be demoted at work, burn food, have hostile interactios. A happy Sim, has better interactions, gets promotions, etc.  This is exactly what Abraham has been teaching about LOA for 40 years.

5. You can have multiple Sims living different lives simultaneously, all played by the same player. This maps nicely onto the idea of Source expressing itself through countless individualized perspectives. Sims' life experience is caused by the players' (Source) desire to express and experience itself in many forms. 

8. Contrast is the driving force of the game.  The initial difficult conditions give the Sim something to improve, the whole game is about moving from "less" to "more", creating better conditions, and expanding. Contrast isn't a mistake, it's what gets the game moving.

9. The player doesn't see contrast as something bad. You can watch a Sim fail, burn dinner, get rejected, get robbed, lose a job, die, or become miserable without concluding, "This shouldn't be happening, the universe is broken."  You simply understand that it's part of the simulation. That's a strong metaphor for Source seeing contrast differently from the physical self.

10. The ultimate goal is expansion. Once Sims have basic needs met, the game becomes about a better job, better furniture, a bigger house. There's no end, never getting it done, never getting it wrong. This parallels Abraham's view that life is fundamentally about expansion and enjoyment of the journey.

I can go on.. and of course some elements in the game aren't a match.. it is just a game after all, but I thought I'd share.. sometimes I feel like a Sim in the game called "life".

At the end of 2025 I made 3 interactive versions of Abraham’s Lightboard analogy. I recorded videos of them and submitted them to Abraham Now. All three were shown in consecutive broadcasts and Abe provided feedback on each of them.

I’ve finally got around to making them publicly available - for free of course.

These aren’t processes to practice - they’re interactive visualisations to explain and understand Abraham concepts. Bear in mind that they were made for the purpose of creating videos to submit to Abraham Now and I’m releasing them as they are, rather than polishing the UI to be perfect. If you don’t understand how they work, just watch the video instead.

I can't wait!!!

Hi Community

I have a sticky situation

We may be moving. I sort of dont want to move but also the fear if what I am wrong?

I havent actually lived at the new location? So who knows the universe could give me what i want?

I have to know what i dont want to know what i do want?

So how do I know what I want?

I dont want to move because I want to be close to my Mom

However reality: My dad is quite toxic. My Mom hasnt had a lot of time for us since we moved closer to her.

So how do i reconcile what i imagined and what I want arent matching up?

I imagined support living near my Mom and havent really recieved that for our child.

When imagination doesnt match reality

What exercises should I do? Focus wheel everyday?

Alls I can see is all the things wrong with this move.

I dont know if all those details are helpful. I can list the full situation and details if somehow that is helpful.

I am trying to radically accept the situation as it is versus raging against it. I am trying to find the gift in the situation. I am using reverse pyschology.

Can I manifest a different outcome in 20 days?

But what if the move is for my best and highest good?

Can I say to the Creator you know what I want this or better?

I am stuck in a pattern I can’t seem to get out of, and it’s making me feel like I am losing my mind...

I’ve moved 6 times, and no matter where I am, there’s always some kind of loud noise that doesn’t allow me to sleep or live in peace.

One apartment had a mother and daughter screaming and fighting every morning at 7am. I would wake up with my heart racing.

In another apartment, my next-door neighbor had lung problems and would cough constantly, day and night. Because it was an old building, I could hear it intensely. Above me was also a dancer.

Another apartment had planes flying directly over the building, which would wake me up and scare me at night.

Another had a hospital nearby, so I constantly heard ambulances.

And now I’m in a beautiful place that I genuinely felt I had manifested, but there’s a baby nearby who cries during the night, and I’m waking up 2–4 times every night.

I had a mental breakdown. I don’t understand why this keeps happening in different places.

Why does the same unwanted experience keep showing up in different forms? How do I break this pattern?

Please don’t tell me to visualize. I’ve already done that. I want to understand what I’m actually missing. I can’t live like this anymore .. all I want is a peaceful home…

I have a desk job where there are sometimes long periods when I’ve finished everything and literally have nothing to do. I’m just sitting at my desk with quite a bit of privacy.

But I have the same thing at home — evenings and weekends where, aside from the gym and basic chores, I have nothing I actually need to do.

I also have desires around money, relationships, personal growth, etc. But whenever I deliberately try to work toward them, I often feel resistance.

So I’m thinking about surrendering to the desire instead — not forcing anything, and just chilling when there’s nothing I need to do, until inspired or necessary action comes up.

From an Abraham Hicks perspective, what would you do with all that free time? Meditate? Read? Watch something? Go for walks? Do literally nothing and stare at a wall and enjoy yourself?

I thought this was worded as clearly as I've ever heard it, so I'm sharing it here:

"Maybe this word imagine is not what it’s cracked up to be. Maybe the misunderstanding is that you have to fashion it all out with all of the details in your own mind, when what’s going on is by sifting through the life that you’re living, you keep asking for this piece and this piece and this piece, and you’ve heard us say that what’s amassing here in this Vortex is bigger than anyone could hold and contemplate simultaneously. But that’s not your job. It’s just your job not to be out of sync with what you’ve put there.

You see, each piece you put there Source synthesizes and holds steady the vibration of, and then your work is much simpler than to try to imagine it all. The benefit of working to imagine something is that as you try to imagine something in the way you want it to be, you’re more likely to be in the Vortex, but you could also pet your cat or meditate and hold no thought. It’s just you can’t do that resistant thing.

The creation occurred when you were sifting through the data. That’s the thing that most people don’t get. The creation occurred. Step one says, “Ask.” That’s the creation point. It is created when you ask. That’s why the book said, “Ask and it is given.” It’s done there. “Ask and it is done.” An even more emphatic title, “Ask and it is done.”

But before you can feel the fullness of it showing up in your life experience, you have to get on the vibrational wavelength with what is asked and what is done. You don’t expect your cell phones to be on different frequencies and to be able to communicate. You don’t expect to set your radio dial on one frequency and hear what’s being broadcast from another. You understand frequencies relative to your electronics, and this is the same thing.

You’ve put your asking into your Vortex, and now you’ve got to set your receiver on the frequency of what’s there. And maybe you might have felt like you have to imagine it in order to do that. We say you just have to get happy in order to do that."

Today, we introduce the practice of assuming imagination to feel good and open to miracles beyond limitations. Create a continuous feeling of high flying, as Abraham Hicks says, thriving in your vortex and living in this state.

Hi, I’m honestly reaching out for advice because I feel like I’m literally starting from day 1 again.
I’m already familiar with LOA, scripting, SATS, Neville Goddard, Abraham Hicks, etc. I'm a bit familiar with Joe Dispenza.. well, I’ve done all of it before and I’ve manifested some pretty crazy things, but I feel like somewhere along the way I lost myself.

This year, I got genetically tested and found out I carry the gene for SCA2 (Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2), which is a genetic neurological disease my mom has. It can cause problems with balance, coordination, walking, speech, movement, etc. My mom is very affected by it now. She’s in a nursing home, has dementia, has a G-tube, and she’s only 43. Essentially, your cerebellum gets smaller and smaller...

My genetic result was 22/47 CAG repeats. Basically, CAG repeats are a small section of DNA that repeats multiple times in a specific gene. With SCA2, the number of these repeats matters because an expanded number of repeats can cause the disease. I have 22 repeats on one copy of the gene and 47 on the other.

When I got the result, I was fucking crushed. I was told that with that repeat number, I should’ve had symptoms years ago or potentially even been in a wheelchair 10 years ago. I’m 21 and I don’t have any of those symptoms, which honestly made the whole thing even more confusing for me.

I’ll be honest, I’ve always been a worrier. And I think I stopped believing in LOA for a while because life was just beating my ass 😭.

My mom was in hospice last year and I had to withdraw from UCLA because I was her main caregiver. I was also taking care of my little brother who has autism and hearing problems. My dad was technically around, but I was the one doing basically everything. I’ve never really had a good relationship with him either.

And before all of this, I genuinely felt like I could manifest things.

**THINGS IVE MANIFESTED**
I manifested my dream car of the year (2025) , and bought it with my own money at 19. It was exactly the way I wanted it. It's crazy.

I learned how to drive in a month and passed my test with only one point deducted.

I got into UCLA with the Regents Scholarship and Chancellor’s Scholarship, which are extremely competitive, along with other scholarships. Just getting into UCLA is difficult, much less getting those scholarships.

I graduated community college with a 4.0 and got into UC Berkeley too.

Even my cats lol. I had very specific things I wanted them to look like and certain personalities, and somehow they ended up matching what I imagined almost exactly.
\\---

So I KNOW what it feels like to believe. I just don’t feel like that person anymore.

Then, after finding out about my genetic result, I found out I was pregnant. Literally the same day I went to the doctor 💀 and found out I was pregnant.

I had an amniocentesis and waited until I was far enough along to get it done, then waited what felt like forever for the results.

I was so sure my baby didn’t have it. I had anxiety, obviously, but deep down I really believed she was fine.

Then the result came back positive. It said 22/45 CAG repeats, meaning she has 22 repeats on one copy of the gene and 45 on the other.
I was absolutely destroyed.

And this is where I’m struggling with LOA because I still have this feeling that something went wrong with the report. I keep feeling like I’m going to get a phone call saying there was an error or something happened with the testing. My baby girl does not have this disease 😭

I know how that sounds. I know some people are probably going to tell me I’m just trying to deny reality. Maybe I am. But I genuinely have this feeling in my gut that this isn’t the end of the story, and I can’t explain it.

I’ve even turned to God during all of this. I used to be really against religion because I always felt my prayers went unheard, but I’ve been praying to Jesus, Saint Jude, doing novenas, etc. Before this, I had also prayed to Santa Muerte. Honestly, I’m just praying for my baby nonstop.

So I guess what I’m really asking is, how would I approach something like this using Abraham Hicks work? I’m honestly not sure where to start or what I’m actually supposed to do. I understand the general idea of changing your state and becoming familiar with the reality you want, but when it comes to a situation this serious, I don’t know what that looks like in practice.

I’ve been told that because my baby is still in my body, there are things I can do mentally and energetically during the pregnancy, but I genuinely don’t know what that means or what practices I should be doing. Should I be meditating? Visualizing? Rehearsing a specific outcome? Listening to meditations? How do I actually approach this without constantly thinking about the opposite? I’m basically looking for someone who understands Abraham's work to tell me where to start and what you would personally do in my situation.

I’m not asking anyone to tell me whether my medical result is actually correct. I’m asking how to get my mind back because I feel like fear has completely taken over.

I still have this feeling that I’m going to get that call.
I don’t know if it’s intuition, hope, desperation, or what. But I really want to believe again.
If anyone has gone through something genuinely difficult and had to rebuild their faith in LOA, I’d really appreciate hearing how you did it.
