QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Now, that’s not an easy thing to do when it has something to do with your physical body or your physical experience, or the stuff you see around you. In other words, “Here is where I am. How can I not recognize that I am here?” We’re not asking you to stop recognizing that you are here. We’re just asking you to spend more time thinking about where you want to be than you do about where you are. You just have to make where you are going feel more familiar than where you are. And we think that if it really, really mattered, if you were really in a place of strong discomfort, that you might spend more time doing that. We think that we would make it a non-issue. We would start saying, “I’m happy where I am. I’m happy where I’m going. I’m happy along the way. I’m happy eternally. I’m not trying to get from here to there because I’m not happy here — I’m just going from here to there because that’s the natural process.”
We want to find ways to convince you that the Well-being that you’ve been asking for is being answered. Your wish is granted. Now it’s time for you to start accepting that it is done. In other words, “The financial institution has granted my request for a home loan. The school I have chosen for my child is fantastic. My body feels great. The money is flowing. My mate truly adores me. I have creations within me that are expanding. There is beauty before me. Every day of my life will be delicious. My future is bright. There is no such thing as decline. I am a vessel continually infused with powerful Energy. Well-being truly abounds. The earth spins in its orbit. The tomatoes continue to grow. My cells know what to do. My breathing mechanism is perfect. My metabolism is perfect. My elimination system is perfect. My blood knows what to do...” In the same way that you don’t put the sun coming up on your To Do list, don’t put creating insulin on your To Do list. Just appreciate yourself into the Well-being that is natural to you.
Diffusing any sense of lack of Well-being You’re wanting to diffuse any sense of lack within your experience. “I would like my body to produce insulin, but it’s not a big deal, because I have plenty of insulin available to me. And so, my body is maintaining its balance. And whether I’m getting it this way or that way, I’m already where I’m wanting to be.” For example, if it’s relative to dollars, Certainly I’m wanting more dollars, but I’m not wanting more dollars because I’m in a place of lack, or of not enough dollars. There are plenty of dollars coming.” Your dominant work is to diffuse any feeling of lack, or any feeling of pushing against anything. That’s the way you hold yourself in this place of greater allowance.
Guest: I’ve had a really long To Do list, haven’t I? Abraham: Yes, because you’ve been trying to justify your worthiness through it. And nobody’s watching. That’s the important thing. All that worthiness you’ve been striving for is misguided. Guest: Well, every statement you’ve made, I fully feel and agree with. And I’ll just enjoy myself.
