WHERE WE CELEBRATE OUR 100TH POST, PART FOUR

WHERE WE CELEBRATE OUR 100TH POST, PART FOUR

Are you there?

Yes, we are here.

We’re finally approaching the end of our celebratory postings. It’s been fun and a lot of work, but I think we’ve done a good job of exploring many of the essential ideas that we’ve touched on in the course of our conversations.

It has been a very great pleasure for us to spend this time with you re-examining the heart and soul of our conversations together so far. So, where would you like to start today?

Let’s start with abundance and prosperity.

ABUNDANCE AND PROSPERITY

Of all the topics that occupy the minds of human beings, it has to be abundance and prosperity, or perhaps I should say “money,” that sits at the top of the list, at least for most people. I remember in our earlier post on abundance and prosperity, you encouraged all of us to shift our attention away from money and money issues and allow ourselves to seek out the abundance that already exists all around us. We do tend to focus almost exclusively on money when it comes to abundance and prosperity and I think that often gets us into trouble. It’s very difficult for us to consider having more money, more financial security and freedom, without thinking about the opposite, the lack of money, the lack of security and freedom. I guess that’s true of pretty much anything that we’re trying to create for ourselves – that our focus tends to remain on the things we don’t have rather than the things we want. And that kind of vibrational waffling makes it very difficult for the Universe to send us what we desire.

It is true, as it is with all that you wish to manifest for yourselves on the physical plane, that vibrational clarity is of the utmost importance. And it is with the issue of money that many human persons face their biggest challenges, in part because money issues are ones that trigger their fear-based responses more often than almost any other human situation, other than perhaps those issues surrounding health. This is why we have encouraged you to expand your idea of what it means to feel prosperous. Abundance is all around you, if you would just take the time to notice. Nature, especially, is a wonderful source of abundance. Spending ten minutes contemplating the number of leaves on a tree will do much to enhance your sense of abundance. It will give your mind the opportunity to experience feelings of wealth and richness that do not necessarily translate into dollars and cents. As we said, when your mind turns to dollars, your fears are often triggered and before long you are worrying about paying your rent and other bills. It is all a question of focus and attention. Wherever you put your attention, that is what increases. So set your mind on the abundance and prosperity that already exists around you, that is already a part of your daily experience, and if you can manage to do this on a regular basis, we guarantee that your fears around money will begin to dissipate and you will soon see evidence of overwhelming abundance in your life.

FREQUENCY AND VIBRATION

This leads us directly into a discussion of frequency and vibration, because it’s the frequency and vibration of money, or anything else that we’re desiring, that lies at the heart of the manifestation process. After all, it’s the vibration of the thought and the feeling of what we desire that attracts what we want into our personal experience, almost like a magnet. And the entire Universe consists of vibration. It’s only because we live on the physical plane and are used to dealing with physicality every day that we assume everything in the Universe is physical, but it’s not. At its most basic level, the Universe is nothing more than a mass of vibrational consciousness.

And that includes your own being. Indeed, it is the process of raising the vibration of your physical form through creative action that facilitates the process of your awakening. This is how it all works on the physical plane. Creating wakes you up to who you really are. Ponder for a moment what we are saying. When you focus your attention on what you desire, and then allow what you desire into your experience, you essentially summon your own high-frequency vibration, the vibration of unconditional love, the vibration of who you really are, into the low-frequency physical form you inhabit, thereby raising your own vibration to a place it has never been before. And that affects not just you, but everyone and everything around you. To bring the high frequency of unconditional love into the low-vibrational realm of the physical plane and then to share that love with everyone else – this is why you have come. This is how growth occurs. And this is how the Universe expands.

No wonder I feel so tired sometimes with all of this growth and expansion going on. It’s almost as if we need to build some sort of vibrational muscle until our bodies gets used to our own higher frequencies. But I guess that’s what spiritual practice is all about.

Indeed. Your body, in fact your entire energy system, will eventually get used to the higher vibration. The more you practice, the more you allow in. And the more you allow in, the sooner you will awaken to who you really are.

OUR EMOTIONAL GUIDANCE SYSTEM

I was first introduced to the idea of an emotional guidance system through the work of Esther Hicks and our dear friends Abraham, all of whom have been a great source of help and support for me and many others over the years. For those of you unfamiliar with the emotional guidance system, it’s basically a list or scale of emotional states ranging from those with the highest vibrational frequencies like love, joy and appreciation, to those emotions with the lowest vibrational frequencies, like fear, depression and powerlessness. This scale allows us to identify where our personal vibration is at any given moment. In simple terms, the closer we are to aligning with Source energy and with our true selves, the better we feel, and the further away we are, the worse we feel. This scale, this system, is a tool to help us monitor our emotional, vibrational progress and make whatever adjustments we need as we move along our path. I won’t list the entire emotional scale here, but our readers can easily find it online.

The chief advantage of using a tool such as the Emotional Guidance System is that it encourages each of you to become more aware of the emotions that you may be experiencing in the present moment without having to monitor each and every one of your thoughts. The emotions you are feeling, whether they are near the top of the scale or near the bottom, always reflect what you are thinking. If, for example, you are holding onto negative thoughts regarding the behavior of your partner, these will very likely trigger sensations of anxiety or fear within your emotional energy field. As your mind is capable of producing approximately 70,000 thoughts in the course of one day, it is very difficult to keep track of them all. It is much easier for an individual to monitor their feelings rather than their thoughts to assess their state of alignment with the energy of Source, which then makes it easier for you to take the steps to raise your overall vibration and widen your channel to Source energy. The goal, the intention, is always to allow as much of the loving energy of Source into your system, into your field. And that is what the Emotional Guidance System is designed to assist you with.

LOVING WHAT IS

I think this will be the last topic in our 100th blog celebration. Our conversations have gone on much longer that I’d anticipated, but I’m glad they have, because it’s given us a chance to revisit all of the wonderful guidance that you have shared with us over the course of the last year and a half.

We could not be more pleased and honored to have assisted you and our readers on this collective journey towards remembrance. And what better way to end our celebratory conversations than with a discussion about the importance of loving what is.

This idea – loving what is, loving what is right in front of you regardless of how it looks, how it feels, what it may mean for you in your life – is a relatively new concept for me. It seems like I’d just gotten to the point where I was willing to accept, sort of, the idea that we create all of the experiences in our lives, when I was led to another idea – that it is even more beneficial if we can find a way to actually love and appreciate what we’re creating for ourselves. It does make sense, of course. If we’re the ones who are creating our experiences, and we ourselves are composed of unconditional love, then we would have to assume that whatever we’re creating for ourselves, regardless of how it might look to us in the moment, must contain a part of ourselves, a seed of unconditional love, and that whatever we’re creating, it ‘s been created for our own benefit, again regardless of how it might seem. We just need to be aware of it, acknowledge it and appreciate it.

This, once more, is what your journey is all about on the deepest level. Loving all that arises is loving yourself, for as you say, all created experience flows from you and contains within its essence the love of which you are made. This is as true in non-physical as it is on the physical plane. All the Universe creates from a place of love. This is what drives the Universe forward, what gives it life, this desire to create more of what already is. And you are a part of this drive, this force, this desire. An essential part, for as we have said many times before, you are on the forefront, you are leading the pack, so to speak, going where no being has gone before. We realize that the physical journey is an enormously challenging adventure, but it is an adventure nonetheless, one that can be filled with love and joy and excitement and pleasure, all manner of wonderful and thrilling experiences. This is why it is so important to do the very best you can to love and appreciate everything that offers itself up to you in the present moment. For what you are offering yourself through your own creations is you, the powerful, loving essence of you. And it is through these offerings, these creations, these experiences, that you are destined to remember who you really are and why you have come.

And on that note, I think we’ll stop. These have been some wonderful conversations. Very helpful both to me and to our readers, I’m sure. Here’s to our next 100!

Indeed. Until next time.

Thank you all.
