Abraham: Feel the Joy Of Your Unfulfilled Desires

From the Quarterly Journal Jan/Feb/Mar 2000

You don't stop very often to think about how you are feeling. And yet,
how you are feeling is everything. How you are feeling is your point
of attraction. How you are feeling is your asking from the Universe.
How you are feeling is everything that is coming to you!

How You Are Feeling is Your Point of Attraction

Most of you have not discovered that the Universe is conspiring to
assist you. And so you work hard from an attitude of unworthiness,
from a feeling that you are not enough, from a feeling that you have
to justify. And what we want you to begin to do is recognize that the
Universe is responding to the way you feel. So think about the way you
feel.

Don't think so much about what you're thinking or about what you have
or about how you compare with your actions or your possessions to
others. Instead, think about how you feel. Ask yourself, "Am I sitting
here in a feeling of well-being? Do I feel intimidated? Do I feel
self-conscious? Do I feel inadequate? Do I feel unworthy? Or do I feel
pretty good? Do I feel cocky? Do I feel full of myself? Do I feel in
love with life? Do I feel exhilarated? Am I feeling fun? Am I feeling
some passion?" How you're feeling is what your point of attraction is.


Your Point of Attraction
If you're feeling unworthy, you can work day and night, night and day,
every day, and yet not allow the very things that you want to flow,
because your vibration is not allowing it, and the Universe cannot
buck your current. How you're feeling is everything. So if we were
standing in your physical shoes, we would let the contrast naturally
produce the desire, for it will. And when we feel a desire within us,
we would look at it, we would recognize the weirdness of it, we would
recognize how unfamiliar it feels, and then we would do what is our
work: "I will do the work that I have been born to do: My work is to
take that new desire and play with it in my mind's eye, until it feels
familiar, until it feels like the manifestation of it is the next
logical step."


The goal must exist to summon the Energy, but the goal can't matter
that much-or it stops the Energy.


Let us bring this to a place that if you get this, you will have
quantum leaped into a new place of deliberate attraction: Most
everybody stands here, dissatisfied to some degree, longing to be over
there. But the whole point of that point of attention to over there is
not to get over there. The whole point of the goal or the desire is
that the desire summons Life Force through you. That's why you're
always wanting another goal, another goal, another goal. That's why we
say you will never get it done. So, "Why do I want that?" It's an
interesting thing, isn't it? The goal must exist to summon the Energy,
but the goal can't matter that much, or it stops the Energy.
You're wanting the goal for the sake of the Energy that will flow
through you, not for the sake of the manifestation.

A woman, one day, said, "Abraham, I don't think you care if my lover
ever comes to me. I think you want me to envision him so clearly that
in my mind's eye, he is real-so real, that it doesn't matter that he's
not really there." And we said, that's exactly right. We know when she
feels him in that way, the pain will be gone from her, and the Life
Force will flow through her, and all of her goals will be achieved.
And we also know, then he must come. But it is not about him coming.
It is about him being a goal that is reason for her to focus, that
causes Life Force to flow through her. It is about the Life Force
flowing through her.

We are delighted that you have unfulfilled goals, because as long as
you have desire, Life Force is still flowing through you. From our
Nonphysical perspective, we see the unfulfilled goal as the constant
summoning of life. You say, "We want fulfilled goals!" And we say,
Your goals will all be fulfilled when you get over being so unhappy
that they're not fulfilled-when you start being satisfied in the
unfulfillment!


The Cycle of Creation
"Here I am. Here is this contrast that gives birth to a new desire.
The new desire feels weird in the beginning, because this is where I'm
used to vibrating. So I look at it; I talk about it; I visualize it; I
play with it; I imagine it until it becomes familiar-and now it is the
vibration that is me. And now we are one.

"Now I have a new platform from which to examine contrast, which gives
birth to another desire, which is weird in the beginning. I'm a
?failure' again; I haven't succeeded. But I look at it; I visualize
it; I find the feeling place of it; it gets familiar; I imagine it;
and it becomes the next logical step. It manifests, and now here I am
again..." You never stop that cycle so long as you all shall
live-which is forever.

You said, "I will go forth into this physical time/space reality,
because this is the best environment that I know of that will keep
producing new desire within me. And nothing in all of the Universe is
more delicious than to have new desire within me!"


Celebrate the desire that is within you and stop cursing the fact that
it isn't yet fulfilled.


Celebrate the desire that is within you, and stop cursing the fact
that it isn't fulfilled! It is the desire that is within you that is
worth everything-it is life itself! You keep thinking that it must be
manifested before you can feel good, and that is backwards. The fact
that it exists is the reason for the Life Force.
There isn't anything that you want or have ever wanted, or anybody has
ever wanted or ever will want that is for any other reason than this:
You want it because you think, in the having of it, you will feel
better. And we are here to say to you, you want it because in the
wanting of it, Life Force is summoned through you-and you are more
alive. You are in the flow.

Being In The Flow is having goals that cause Energy to flow through
you. It is being in such a place of expectation and acceptance of your
eternal motion forward, that you are eternally in the flow. So people
say, "How are you doing?" And you say, "Great!" And they say, "Well,
is there anything not going well with you?" And you say, "Everything
always goes well with me!" And they say, "Oh, but I see there are all
these things incomplete in your experience." And you say, "Yeah, isn't
it great? That means I'm still alive. I still have wanting, I'm still
summoning life. That means I still have the future ahead of me. That
means Life Force is still flowing."

Have you ever found yourself eating an ice cream cone and wanting to
make it last? Do you find yourself ever in a sexual interlude or in a
delicious book, wanting it to last? You can tell you're getting to the
end of it, and you don't want it to be over? You know that feeling of
savoring? That's the way we're wanting you to be with your goals. And
that may be why you're not so eager to get on with the completion of
everything. You're recognizing that you have all of this life before
you-so much wonderful stuff to do-never getting it done.

Where you now are is the perfect place to be, the perfect place to
move from, the perfect place from which to attract. Nothing is
inappropriate with where you are. There's not one reason in this world
for you to feel anything but proud about where you are and eager about
what it will produce for you.

All things are possible. Oh, you can't even begin to get your thoughts
around what is before you! But you see, none of you are ever asked
(and it's a wonderful thing) to stand here and plan everything
forevermore. Just stand where you are and let the natural desire that
is born out of that come into alignment with you. That's your work:
Contrast produces it. You feel it, recognize it, and then line up your
Energy with it.

You are born into an environment that will produce the goals. Your
work is then to choose from those goals, focus, as the creator that
you are, and in your focusing, allow the Energy to flow to the
completion of those goals. There are endless possibilities.

So many of you spend your lifetimes arguing about what is an
appropriate goal. We're not kidding when we say you cannot get it
wrong. There are no actions that are deemed inappropriate as such.
Sometimes people say, "Well Abraham, you scare us, because as you talk
about absolute freedom, we are afraid that you might give people
permission to do bad things to other people." Whether we give them
permission or not, everybody's gonna do what they're gonna do, and you
can't get enough laws into place to keep that from happening. But we
promise you, no one would ever do anything bad to any other at the
same time they were connected to Source Energy. You never connect to
Source Energy and lash out against anyone else.

As you are pushing against wrongdoers, even though they might be
really doing wrong, your pushing against them disconnects you from any
real power. You think the strongest one wins. But your pushing against
them is disempowering you, and their pushing against you is
disempowering them. So if your opponent wins, it is actually because
you pushed against hardest. When you are pushing against someone --you
are weakening yourself. "My adversary won because I did a better job
of disallowing my well-being. I pushed harder against him." We're just
wanting to get a little twist on this, so that you can give up all
that pushing against, because it never helps.

There has been co-creating here that has taken this thought beyond
that which it has been before. Once you have an opportunity to review
this, you will realize that together, we have achieved a sort of
quantum leap in understanding.
