The Universe knows all things...

The Universe knows all things and is responding to the vibration that you are sending. When you are sending your vibration on purpose, you are orchestrating what the Universe is aligning for you.

Nothing needs to be fixed

Nothing needs to be fixed. Everything is unfolding perfectly. So when you stand in your now accepting that all is well, then from that vibration, you become surrounded by more and more evidence that all is well. But when you're convinced that things are broken, that there is pollution, or that things have gone wrong, or that the government is doing conspiracies... Then what happens is you get caught up in that vibration, and you begin to manifest that kind of stuff, and then you say, "See, I told you that things were going wrong."

Make peace with outrageous abundance

Make peace with outrageous abundance. You are more likely to have a pure vibration and attract more abundance if you leave money out of the equation. But it isn't because money is the "root of all evil." It's because it messes up your vibration, usually.

Whenever something that you think you want does not unfold

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.

Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, November 1st, 1998

Never mind what-is

Never mind what-is. Imagine it the way you want it to be so that your vibration is a match to your desire. When your vibration is a match to your desire, all things in your experience will gravitate to meet that match every time.

You don't have to go back...

You don't have to go back and deal with childhood issues, because those childhood issues produced a vibration within you that you are still offering -- which is producing today issues. You can shift your vibration a whole lot easier when you're dealing with today issues, than trying to deal with childhood issues. It's the same vibration. That vibration that was creating childhood issues, now it's creating today issues. Deal with it in your now. "Which thought feels better? Which thought feels better? Which thought feels better?"

Most people don't think that new-born children...

Most people don't think that new-born children could be the Creator of their own reality because they are not even talking, yet. But the Universe is not responding to your language, anyway. The Universe is responding to your vibration -- and your vibration is about the way you feel.

Excerpted from the workshop in Seattle, WA on Saturday, June 20th, 1998

Your children are genius creators

Your children are genius creators who have just arrived from Nonphysical, who are feeling empowered. And if they would be left to their own devices, they would not go astray. They would maintain worthiness; they would maintain their feeling of Well-Being. They would thrive, unless it was taught otherwise to them. In other words, if others don't do something to change their vibration, they are in a vibration of thriving.

There's an expression in the physical environment ...

There's an expression in the physical environment that you use to entertain each other. (it doesn't serve you very well) that says, "I worry that I'll go down to the dock, and that my ship will have already come and gone. I'll miss my boat." And we say, another boat, another boat, another boat. You have no idea how many boats are coming to your dock. It's a steady steam, and it doesn't matter how many of them you've missed. The only thing that matters is what are you doing right now in your vibration? And you can tell what you're doing right now in your vibration by the way you feel.

Universe is only answering your vibration

When you finally get it that the Universe is only answering your vibration, then you understand that if you are victim to anything, it's only your haphazard offering of vibration. The real desire that is being born within you is, "I want to vibrate on purpose. I want to set my Tone. I want to conclude and decide and offer it consistently and then watch the results of it." You cannot get it done, ever, and you cannot get it wrong. So you might as well relax and start having fun with this.

There's Not One Truth Or One Religion That Is Appropriate

THERE'S NOT ONE TRUTH OF ONE RELIGION THAT IS APPROPRIATE - Have you ever known someone whose life was not based on what you thought was moral or appropriate behavior? And yet, they continued to win. You know why? They don't listen to the other side of the argument and mix up their vibration. They focus upon and hold themselves in alignment with what they want—and the Universe delivers to them what they want. It doesn't matter how many others stand back and claim injustice, foul play, or inappropriate, the Law of Attraction always answers your vibration. And it doesn't have anything to do with what anybody else is doing—or thinks about what you're doing—unless you change your vibration because of what they think about what you're doing. That's why a variety of medical remedies work differently on different people. That's why a variety of religious intentions work for different people.

You don't have to work at being in the high vibration

You don't have to work at being in the high vibration that is natural to you, because it is natural to you. But you do have to stop holding the thoughts that cause you to lower your vibration. It's a matter of no longer giving your attention to things that don't allow your cork to float or don't allow you to vibrate in harmony with who you really are.

Excerpted from the workshop in Silver Spring, MD on Saturday, April 19th,

You cannot look at that which you do not want...

You cannot look at that which you do not want and not join and perpetuate that vibration. Take your attention from that which is not in harmony with who you are, and in taking your attention from it, your "now vibration" will adjust to who you really are, and then you can uplift others.

Your government is the byproduct of the vibration of the masses

Your government is the byproduct of the vibration of the masses. A war is the byproduct of the vibration of the masses. In other words, this is not a war that your government has waged against your will. This is a war that has grown vibrationally from the vibration of the masses.

Everything that has ever been lived...

Everything that has ever been lived, everything that has ever been written down or documented, has been vibration first. Everything has been conjured in vibration first before it manifests. So if something has manifested and you continue to give it your attention, the fact that it is true should really hold no weight with you. The question that we would ask is not, is it true, or is it undeniable? The question that we would ask is, how does it make me feel when I focus upon it? And if the answer to the question is, it doesn't make me feel very good when I focus upon it, then we would say, true or not, it does not serve you. And if you will activate a different part of your vibration--the "truth" will shift.

Get out into the sunlight...

Get out into the sunlight, out where everything is, with a vibration that is so dominant that those who annoy you, those who don't agree with you, those who make your life feel uncomfortable don't come into your experience, because your vibration, through your practice, has become so clear, so pure, so clean, so in keeping with what you want, that the world that revolves around you just feels like that. That's what you planned.

Offer a vibration that matches your desire...

Offer a vibration that matches your desire rather than offering a vibration that keeps matching what-is.

The Universe does not know...

The Universe does not know whether the vibration that you're offering is because of something you're observing or something you're remembering or something that you are imagining. It just receives the vibration and answers it with things that match it.

Excerpted from the workshop in Napa, CA on Thursday, February 27th, 1997

As long as you're unhappy...

As long as you're unhappy about not being over there, or feeling unworthy or incomplete or dissatisfied about not being over there, you cannot get over there, because over there is a different vibration than the predominant vibration you're offering. Until you are joyful in your not being over there, you can't get over there.

You cannot be less than you are now...

You cannot be less than you are now.You cannot achieve a vibration that is less than the vibration that you have achieved. That's why when someone achieves an empire and then something happens where it is lost or destroyed, they still have the vibration that they've achieved, and the empire will come back again—you see it all the time—because it is the vibrational status that the Universe is responding to, not the financial status.

Your society wants to condemn them

Your society wants to condemn them. Your society would like to crucify them. Your society would like to lock them up. Your society would like to put them off in places where they can never get near any of you. Your society does not understand that they are your creation. As individuals, you have to accept responsibility for everything that's interacting with you. Because it would not be interacting with you if you did not have an active vibration about it. This is really, really important. This means I cannot blame how I feel on my mate. I cannot blame how I feel on my children, or on my mother, or on my government, or on my society, or on my client, or on the other drivers around me. In other words, the experience that I'm having is my job. It's all my creation. It's all my responsibility. You say, "Oh, but it wasn't my fault because I didn't offer the vibration until they did that action, and after they did that action then I offered the vibration." And we say, still, you are the only one that can change your vibration. And you say, "Oh, but if they'd behave differently, then I'd change my vibration." We say, Oh, here we go again. How many decades of life experience within this body do you think it's going to take before you finally convince yourself that you can't get them to choose? They're not going to hold you as their object of attention long enough. Pleasing you is not their job. You pleasing you is your job. You've got to find something redeeming in them so that you can be pleased. And when you find it, activate that in your vibration, and then they will show it to you.

We are all Vibrational Beings

We are all Vibrational Beings. You're like a receiving mechanism that when you set your tuner to the station, you're going to hear what's playing. Whatever you are focused upon is the way you set your tuner, and when you focus there for as little as 17 seconds, you activate that vibration within you. Once you activate a vibration within you, Law of Attraction begins responding to that vibration, and you're off and running--whether it's something wanted or unwanted

You don't have to worry about what their vibration is if your vibration is one of connection

You don't have to worry about what their vibration is if your vibration is one of connection. Because if your vibration is one of connection -- you're going to dominate the vibration. This is the way you learn your relationships. The thing that most people do not understand, is that you get to control the way you feel, because you get to choose the thoughts you think. Most people think that they only have the option of responding to the circumstances that surround them. And that's what makes them attempt the impossible, which is to control the circumstances around them, which only feeds their feeling of frustration and vulnerability, because it doesn't take very much life experience to discover you can't control all of those circumstances. But you can control your vibration. And when you control your vibration, you've controlled everything that has anything to do with you.

Excerpted from the workshop in El Paso, TX on Thursday, March 28th, 2002

Whatever you are giving your attention to...

Whatever you are giving your attention to is already vibrating. And when you give your attention to it, if you maintain your focus for as little as 17 seconds, you begin to include its vibration, whatever it is, in your vibration. When you see something you want, and you give it your attention, and you say yes to it, you are including whatever its vibration is in your vibration. When you see something you do not want, and you shout no at it, you are including whatever its vibration is in your vibration. In this vibrational world, which is everything, you are far more vibrational beings than you are verbal beings. You are communicating with everyone far more on a vibrational basis, than you are on a verbal basis.

Just love everybody

Just love everybody that interacts with you no matter how personally, or how peripherally, involved with you they are. The efficiency of the people who deal with you... Everything is orchestrated by the manager called Law of Attraction. And your vibration is setting all of it into motion. Everything affecting you is a reflection of the vibration that you are emitting. Spend more time focused upon your dream than upon the reality. The reality gives birth to the dream -- but the dream is where you are wanting to put your attention.

If your desire is strong enough...

If your desire is strong enough, it doesn't matter what your beliefs are. If you have a desire that is strong enough, that desire will be the dominant vibration, and it will over-ride any other vibration that you have.

Many say to you, "Don't be selfish."

Many say to you, "Don't be selfish." And what they mean is, "Satisfy my selfish intent, not your own. I'd be a lot happier if you were doing the things I need you to do in order for me to be happy". And so, the best gift that you could give to anyone, would be to be a liver of unconditional love. In other words, you're loving them, even though they're not loving you because you're not doing what they need you to do in order for them to love you. But it is not keeping you from loving them.

Most people have a hard time delegating...

Most people have a hard time delegating, or even wanting to delegate, because you have been justifying your existence through your hard work, and you equate success with struggle; you equate results with struggle. And so, you sort of wear your struggle like a badge of honor. And all of that is opposite of allowing the Well-being. The only thing that ever matters in success or achievement is your achieving the things that you want to achieve. So if you are setting standards and you're feeling uncomfortable about the standards that you've set, tweak the standards back a little bit. Ratchet it back a notch. Give yourself a break. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Lighten up. Be easier. Go slower. Take it easy. Have more fun. Love yourself more. Laugh more. Appreciate more. All is well. You can't get it wrong. You never get it done.

All those statistics...

All those statistics that you are gathering about your own experiences and about others -- is only about how somebody has flowed Energy. It isn't about any hard fast reality.

Excerpted from the workshop in Detroit, MI on Saturday, July 8th, 2000

Allowing Your Natural Well-being

The only reason that you don't allow your natural Well-being is that you have experiences--presented by others, presented by your own life experience, presented by your own conclusions--that cause you to offer vibrations that do not allow the Well-being that is natural to you. That is the only reason that you do not allow.

Little ones allow. In other words, we think that you get a little older in your thinking when you think about the newborn that comes forth, because they appear to be so dependent. And, in fact, they need your physical support. But then, when your assumption is that you've got it all figured out, and you decide that you've lived the struggle that you now want to protect them from--what you do is perpetuate an activation of the struggle.

Wanting to protect them activates the struggle. So it's like feeding them with one hand, and taking the food away with the other. It's like saying to them, "Welcome to this world that is hard in all of these ways--and let me activate within you all the troublesome things that will certainly make this a hard world for you."

Why Is It So Hard?

Often people will say, "Well, Abraham, why are we set up this way? Why does it have to be hard? If we are Pure Positive Energy, and then we are born into these bodies, why are we so assured that there will be resistance surrounding us? Why does it have to be? Why does there have to be so much that we worry about that gets our attention and sets up resistance within us, and keeps us from being in the place of allowing that we so much want?" And we say, it is because the benefit of the contrasting environment is millions of times more valuable than it is detrimental.

If you did not have the ability to discern difference, you could not prefer; and if you could not prefer, you could not vibrationally summon Source--and if you could not vibrationally summon Source, then we would all cease to be. The entire Universe is based upon our ability to conclude the new idea, which is the summoning forth of the new life into the new space.

And then you say, "But wouldn't it have been better if we could have had an environment where it was easier to stay connected?" And we say, there is no environment that is easier to be connected than an environment in which you are free to choose thought.

Find a thought that feels good, and practice it. And you say, "But it's hard to choose a thought that feels good, when there's so much around me that feels bad. And we say, it's only because you haven't practiced it that way. It's only because you've been convinced that you've got to clamor around the problem in order to find the solution. And there is truth in some of that. The clamoring around the problem is what is giving birth to the desire, you see. And so, it's all an integral part of all that is.

Desire Not Painful?

There are some who say that we should not encourage you to have desire. And yet, we cannot stop you from having desire; the Universe is established to produce desire.

There are some who say that it is inappropriate to have desire. And we say, those are only those who have not figured out how to find vibrational alignment with the desire, so the desire is always painful. And we understand why you would not want to have a desire that is painful--but the only reason it is painful is because you have not yet learned how to allow.

So then you say, "Well, how do we allow?" And we say, you find a thought that feels good and practice it until it becomes your proclivity. And you say "Oh, that's far too simple. There's got to be something bigger than that. There's got to be something a lot more than just feeling good." And we say, there is nothing more important than that you feel good, because when you feel good, you've got control of your vibration. And when you've got control of your vibration, you are the deliberate creator of your experience.

Why Must We Allow?

So when you say, "Why do we have to allow?" We say, it is because you were born into an environment where there are choices; you were born into an environment where there is variety. In other words, if you lived in a household where everybody thought exactly the same way, and nobody had any contention about anything; everybody wanted everything exactly the same; you were all born to love pizza, and you were all born to love milk, and you were all born to love the color yellow, and you were all born to love hardwood floors instead of carpeted floors, and you were, in other words, if you were all born with these sameness, you say "Oh, we would get along so famously. We all sing the same songs, and do the same things." And we say, you would not be stimulated to a new idea. And a continuing Life Force could not continue to be drawn within you, because you need, we all need, an active calling. (That's big!) We all need an active calling. There has to be an activation of that summoning of Energy. And as long as there's summoning of Energy, then life continues. And it is our promise to you that life will always continue.

Why Learn Allowing?

And so, you say, "Well, this activation of this Energy is a good thing. But my resistance to it is not a good thing. Why do I have to learn allowing?" And we say, you would not have to learn allowing if you had not learned disallowing. And you say "That's my point exactly. Why was I born into an environment where I learned disallowing? Why do I have to go back now and learn how to allow? Shouldn't I just naturally allow?" And we say, because you wanted the environment of difference, and you needed to find your bearing, and you needed to find your place, and you needed to decide what you want.

We promise you, you did not want to come into an environment where you just said yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes to all of it. You wanted to say "Yes, no. Well, maybe. Well, what do I think? What do I conclude? What is my preference?" Otherwise, your perspective has no value if you are not here to decide, to discern, to prefer.

So then you say, "But I thought we were all one." And we say, we are all one, for the purpose of coming up with a new idea. And you say "Well, it's painful, because now I have to learn how to allow all over again." And we say, you'll be all right. You can use your Emotional Guidance System to know.

If you don't get too far from where you are, it's always easy to bring yourself back to center. And even if you do get far from where you are, it's still easy to bring yourself back to center. It just takes deciding that feeling good is worth something, and practicing, with real determination, to feel good for no other reason than to feel good. And in time you show yourself that Allowing is not a big issue.

It's Easy to Allow

It's easy to allow. In fact, it is your dominant proclivity. You would much rather love than not love. You know how we know that? When you don't love, you feel miserable. You would much rather praise than criticize. You know how we know that? When you criticize you feel awful, and when you praise you feel wonderful. You would much rather know your success and know your value than to feel that you do not have value. You know how we know? Because we feel your pain when you choose the other. In other words, we think that it must be easy to know "the stove is hot". In other words, that does not feel good to put your hand on a hot stove. And we do not understand sometimes why it is so hard to take your hand off the stove. "Do I dare take my hand from the stove?" And you say, "My mother had her hand on the stove, her mother had her hand on the stove, our family puts its hand on the stove, that's what we all do. (Fun!) The day I was born they put my hand on the stove." And we say, but now you get to decide how you like it. And you say, "But it's hard. Do I dare take my hand from the stove?" And we say, risk it and try it. And you say "Ah, it is sweet relief to take my hand from the stove."

These Are Your Choices

"But look! My mother still has her hand on the stove. And my government still has its hand on the stove. They've all got their hands on the stove. Who am I to find the relief of not putting my hand on the stove?" And we say, alright, put your hand back on the stove if you want to. (Fun!) But understand that you get to allow or not allow. These are your choices.

We are wanting you to understand it's not hard to allow. In fact, the hardest thing of all is to learn patterns of not allowing who you are: It's a lot harder for you to be confused than to be clear minded. It's a lot harder to be sick than it is well. It's a lot harder to not have enough money than to have enough money. It's a lot harder to be negative than to be positive. It's a lot harder to be pessimistic than to be optimistic. The hard, hard, hard, hard thing is not allowing. It's easy to allow. You just have to give yourself permission to do it and practice it a little bit.

We have enjoyed this interaction immensely. We think you have it. We think that you know what to do. And we think that together we've practiced very well.

But you are on your own in this, and you like it that way. You came into this environment knowing that you would be an individual Consciousness. An individual Consciousness that would have your individual preferences, and that anything that you, in your powerful individualness, identify as your desire--Source Energy will answer.

And over the next few weeks, it is our expectation that you will prove to yourself that you have the ability to let it in. It is so much easier than you think. There's just one thing that you have to remember: It is good to feel good: It is good...

It is Natural To Be Joyful

Clarity is your natural state of being. Healthy is your natural state of being. Eager is your natural state of being. Loving is your natural state of being. It is natural for you to have desire, and it is natural for you to anticipate happy outcomes. And it is natural for you to love. It is natural for you to sing. It is natural for you to play. It is natural for you to skip. And it is natural for you to be joyful.

It is natural for you to know Well-being. It is natural for you to expand. It is natural for you to question. It is natural for you to find interest. It is natural for you to want more, and it is natural for you to feel good. And anything else is resisting the natural state of who you are.

There is great love here for you. We are complete

If we were standing in your physical shoes...

If we were standing in your physical shoes, that would be our dominant quest: Entertaining Yourself, pleasing Yourself, connecting with Yourself, being Yourself, enjoying Yourself, loving Yourself. Some say, "Well, Abraham you teach selfishness. And we say, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do, because unless you are selfish enough to reach for that connection, you don't have anything to give anyone, anyway. And when you are selfish enough to make that connection -- you have an enormous gift that you give everywhere you are.

And there is nothing that you're wanting to know that the Universe does not already know that you want to know, and has already begun the process of answering.

There is great love here for you. We are complete

Many people are wanting to fan your flames of discomfort, because they believe that "you're either with us or against us; if you don't stand in the same disgust and horror that we are all standing, then you are not with us." It's hard for people to understand that you can not agree with them -- and not be against them. That you could be for something without being against something else.

All of you are allowing...

All of you are allowing through the crack of least resistance. So there are a combination of factors. The degree of desire is a factor. In other words, the amount of pulling power that's going on is a factor. Someone could really, really, really, want something, and could really, really, really, be disallowing it -- but because they want it intensely they get it, but it comes the hard way.

It is very difficult to understand what anybody else's experience is

It is very difficult to understand what anybody else's experience is. There aren't enough words to really understand what anybody else is living. Physical beings want things to be the same. They want people to think the same. You work rather hard at sameness, but you will never win that battle, because from Nonphysical, diversity is known to be the most beneficial part of the game.

Worthiness, in very simple terms...

Worthiness, in very simple terms, means, I have found a way to let the Energy reach me, the Energy that is natural, reach me. Worthiness, or unworthiness, is something that is pronounced upon you by you. You are the only one that can deem yourself worthy or unworthy. You are the only one who can love yourself into a state of allowing, or hate yourself in a state of disallowing. There is not something wrong with you, nor is there something wrong with one who is not loving you. You are all just, in the moment, practicing the art of not allowing, or the art of resisting

Spontaneous Healing & Beliefs?

I'm a physician, and I'm amazed at what is possible. And what I've observed is, those who have spontaneous healing are absolutely convinced that it will take place. Their consciousness, if you like, is convinced that they will be whole, or they are whole. Would you say that's so, or how would you?

Abraham: When someone is sick, out of that sickness comes an exaggerated desire to be whole, or to be well. And so, even if they're not speaking it with their words, it is an implied desire that emanates from them -- literally from every cell in their body. And in the moment that is so, Source Energy goes to work on answering that. And so, the only question, relative to how long will it take them to return to their wellness, is -- how long will it take them to stop the resistance that is keeping the wellness away to begin with? And so, if they are convinced in their ability to be well -- then they are well very quickly.

When a person is really convinced of their ability to be whole, most of the time they don't get sick, to begin with -- because that belief in wholeness keeps them in the place of allowing Well-being on a pretty steady basis.

You are multifaceted Beings and different things can get your attention. And it is not hard to get out of balance, just like it is not difficult to get back into balance. And so, as they find themselves out of balance, there is just a stronger part of them that is seeking that balance.

As a physician, or as any healer, we would say to you, in a powerful way, that your value to them is in providing for them a further measure of believing in their Well-being. They come to you in an exaggerated desire to be well, and you are able to speak from your belief in wellness. And that's not hard to do if you will look at worldwide statistics. But this sometimes happens to physicians: their world becomes so much about sick people, that they forget that there are many more well moments than there are sick moments. And when a physician takes that turn, where he begins to believe more in sickness than he does in wellness -- then he is of no value to those who come to him for the discovery of Well-being.

If you decide to make someone the enemy...

If you decide to make someone the enemy and you're pushing very hard against them, you don't affect them at all, but you disconnect yourself from the Stream of wellbeing. If someone cheats you, they cannot diminish your experience. They only diminish their experience. You cannot be diminished by someone cheating you unless you get all upset about being cheated and push against them and use that as your excuse to disconnect from the Stream.

Death, As Compared to L.C.'S Cat Door

Guest: My brother-in-law passed away at 39 years old. And it was just a shock to everybody. My in-laws are really struggling. Is there anything that I can do to make a difference for them.

Abraham: There are so many things that we're wanting to give you around this subject because we think you're ready for it. The reason someone this young and this vital does something like that, is to assist all of you in understanding that there is not death.

Physical beings have treated the subject of death as something not wanted and something inappropriate for so long, and yet you have yourselves in an impossible thing: Death is something every single one of you are going to experience.

How do you stand pushing so hard against something that is so inevitable? Do you feel the absurdity of that? If this Universe has at its basis only Well-being, how could something as abhorrent as what you think death is, even exist in that Energy?

You are eternal beings. You walk into this room, you all come willingly, and yet you have not committed your life to being in this room. In a few hours you're going to get up and you're going to walk out of here. And everybody's going to say, that's just fine. And yet, when somebody makes their transition which is no different than that, they just withdraw their attention from one room and give their attention to another room -- you all act like it's the end of the room. You act like it's the end of the world.

Jerry and Esther have a new cat they kidnapped when they were in Louisiana. The cat really kidnapped them. And now this cat, Lovable Cat is her name, they call her LC, lives at the office. And Jerry wanted her to have freedom, and so, in the beautiful new office building, the carpenters cut a door for LC to come in and out. They put it in the wall and built a chute. At first L.C. Did not like the idea of the door, Jerry said it was like trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. And then he watched her first emergence. Here she is standing in the break room, a very beautiful room inside. And then she leaps up onto her shelf and she pokes herself through the tube, and then out into the bright sunlight.

Well, death is sort of like that. It's not a bigger transition than that. It is going from one perspective to another. There is no sense of having left behind something. Instead, there is the exhilaration about what is on the other side.

What we're wanting you to understand is that once L.C. Goes outside, she is equally free to come back in. So she's in and out, and in and out... And that is the way it is from the Nonphysical perspective.

The question is, why have those of you who are still remaining in the break room limited yourself only to that experience? And that really is what these workshops are about. We're wanting to help you to consciously reconnect with that Broader Self that you know you are. And once you gain that awareness of the wholeness of who you are, then you're like the cat that's back and forth and back and forth, not feeling any big deal about it, having a glorious experience -- no matter where your consciousness is focused.

Physical beings feel so earth bound. You think you only can stay in the break room. You don't know you have access to all of that other stuff. And we know that even as we speak about death, that the worry that you are feeling is for those that feel as if they've been left behind. And we want you to understand that you are not left behind. But you have to accept the fullness of who you are, in order to understand that.

The death experience of someone like this is usually the catalyst that causes others to open and expand themselves to the awareness that you are not limited only to this brief physical experience. But you see, there is really not much value if someone dies and you suffer deeply. And then as you move through time, and as you just get more distance between the tragedy of their death and where you now stand, you feel better. Because the next time you turn around, somebody else is going to die, and you have to go through the same horrible experience all over again. The only remedy to this is the acceptance that there is not death.

Every living thing, animal or human or tree, experiences that which is called death, with no exception. Now that's not a hard one to grasp, you've all accepted that one a long time ago. Spirit, which is who we really are, or Source, is Eternal. So what death must be is a changing of the perspective of that Eternal Spirit.

If I am standing in my physical body and am consciously connected to that Eternal Spirit, then I'm Eternal in nature. And I need not ever again fear any endedness, because from that perspective, I understand that there is not any of that. Because there is no such thing as death. If there is anything for you to fear, it would be the resistance which pinches that off. You take, as humans, this nonexistent subject of death and use it as your excuse to pinch off the Life Force. That is the true tragedy.

And so, you're trying to help these dear parents restore themselves to the vivacious, loving, happy, joyous beings that they are capable of being. We know it is not so easy when your son lies dead, but when you turn your attention to something else that lives, Life Force must return. It really is that simple.

So how do you make someone understand something that you understand? You can't. All you can do is understand it. So your greatest gift to them is just know what you know about death, know that it is nonexistent, know that this man, this being, exists eternally, know that he can come through the cat door either way, know that he is constantly, consistently focused here, know that he has awareness about what all of you are doing, know that his interest in what you are doing has not changed at all. Know that you have the ability to interact with him. Know that he has the ability to interact with you. And make that a real experience for yourself.

And then talk about it as if it is a normal experience. Let it be the normal experience that it really is. And let's bring this subject of death out into the light where it belongs, and see it for what it really is.

You cannot find someone...

You cannot find someone, even if they deserve it, as your enemy and stay Connected with who you are at the same time, because your Source will not take sides like that. No one can stay connected to Source Energy, and push hard against someone else. There are these battles that are fought in the name of "God", and all of these prayers that say, "God is on our side," and we say, god is not on your side, nor is god on the side of those who fight against you. God does not take those sides

Be easy about this

Be easy about this. Be playful about it. Don't work so hard at it. Let your dominant intent to be to feel good, and if you don't feel good, then let your dominant intent be to feel relief. Feel your way through it. If you think your way through it, you can get off on all kinds of tangents. If you feel your way through it, you can come quickly to your Core Energy, and when you do that only good can then flow to you.

Act a little less and think a little more...

Act a little less and think a little more... We're not saying stop acting and do it all in mind. We're saying work your 8 hours or your 10 hours or your 16 hours.. Just spend at least 10 or 15 minutes -- in a day where you are working 8-10-16 hours of physical action in order to maintain the physical stuff that you've gathered around you -- trying to find pleasure from some vision. Afford yourself that. And that 10 or 15 minutes that you are finding pleasure, will cause a formalization of Energy within you that the Universe will actualize around. You will begin to notice that you are more productive, because of 15 minutes of visualization, than you were from 16 hours of hard labor.

If you feel drawn to someone...

If you feel drawn to someone, but you are annoyed because you think that they are telling you some lies, try to look beyond the lies and try to focus upon the feeling. People offer all kinds of words for all kinds of different reasons. Most lies are offered to try to keep things in alignment. We're not encouraging it, but the motive behind lying is usually a pretty honorable motive. In other words, when a child lies to their parents, it's usually because they want to be free to do what they want to do, and they don't want their parents to be upset about it. It's about wanting an alignment. Physical ears have a hard time hearing this. You keep talking about "We need to be honest." And we say, we don't meet any of you who are honest. Even those who claim to be the most virtuous, are not honest, but your vibration always is. We would trust the feeling more than the words.

There is No Value In Suffering

There is something in most of you that says "I don't think I should allow it to be absolutely easy because a part of me seems to want to justify my Well-Being by a little bit of struggle... As if it's not right for me to have any great success without, at least, a little bit of suffering." And we say, no suffering is of any value.

You don't have to go the hard way to things, but you do have to go from wherever you are. If one good thing happens today and a hundred bad things, talk about that good thing a thousand times--and talk not about any of the bad things. Play the good-feeling things over and over in your mind--emphasize everything that feels good.

The Universe has understood the things you have been asking for and is answering perfectly. And if you won't work to orchestrate the how and where and when, and who, but instead work to be in the receiving mode--as you practice rampages of appreciation, and as you collect fun things and beautiful things and use them to become an Ambassador of Well-Being -- the things you have been asking for will unfold in a continuum of extraordinary life experience. Those who don't yet know what you now know will stand flabbergasted as they see the stunning unfolding of your life experience. You've just got to get happy--that's all it takes.

NOW, Is Always On the Leading Edge

Do you like taking thought beyond that which has been before? Do you want to set aside everything that you have come to know and believe, all at once, and just jump into a whole new understanding? Well, if that is your desire, you are really going about it the hard way. And it also implies that what you have is not working— when it is.

The way you evolve is from where you now are standing on your current platform, and a large part of your current platform equals a large part of your current vibration— that's what your belief system is. But you don't need to uproot your entire belief system in order to evolve. There is much that you believe that is serving you extremely well.

Someone handed Jerry and Esther a copy of a book that they had found in a bookstore that was written in the 1930's. And the reason they were so eager to give the book to Jerry and Esther is because it mentioned the "Law of Attraction." And as Jerry perused the book, much of what he is hearing today from Abraham was written in this book. And then as he read closer, he saw that the author gave credit for her inspiration to Ernest Holmes (who in turn gave credit to Thomas Troward for much of his inspiration). And Jerry has long seen a vibrational sameness between what they were receiving and what Esther is receiving, (from Abraham) even though there are many years difference.

The author, a woman, was talking about "what an extraordinarily fast-moving environment we are all living in, in this modern day," and how hard it is to keep up. And Esther nearly drove off the road in the monster bus as Jerry was reading this to her, because she had been working to get her satellite dishes to work, and working to get the communication between the office to work, and had been talking, just hours before, about this "bleeding edge" that they are living on, in terms of technology—and almost longing for a simpler time.

She said, "My parents still have the television we had when we grew up. They still have the same telephone, the same 10-key adding machine, the same electric typewriter… And while they do have a computer, they still have the same can opener, the same Mixmaster — all of these old, reliable machines that mother still knows how to use that were built to last, and did. And Esther was longing for the good old days, just a little bit.

Jerry was reading from a woman's perspective, who was, at that time, on the leading edge (because the NOW always is the leading edge, isn't it?) who was, in her day, struggling to keep up with what was new. And what we want to say is that, the vibrational basis that you are now standing in is the basis for the majority of your vibrational offering, and your vibrational offering is your point of attraction.

And so, there are some powerful points to be made of Jerry and Esther's new awareness of how fast the leading edge of the 1930's felt to those who had just stepped from 1929 into 1930 just as sometimes your leading edge place feels almost faster than you are ready for… Whether it was then or whether it is now, or whether it will be tomorrow, your work is always the same: Your individual work is to keep yourself, yourself, in vibrational alignment with your own desires. It's not to keep up with what everybody is thinking about. It's not to understand what everybody understands. It's not to mesh your desires or your beliefs with everyone else's. Your work (and the work of this woman who was living in 1930) is always to bring the vibration of your thought, in this moment, as close as you can, in this moment, into vibrational alignment with the desire that you hold—in this moment.

As Esther listened to Jerry read this woman's brief account of what it was like then, it was interesting to realize that almost everyone who is standing in their leading edge place has this sense of urgency about getting it to the point of completion; getting it figured out, getting it solved. And there was something so interesting to Esther as she was listening to this woman speaking about solving it all, way, way, way, way back when. And Esther couldn't help but notice that between 1930 and today—it didn't get solved, and it didn't get finished; it didn't get completed—and all of that striving seemed ill-placed.

It is ill-placed if you're trying to get things fixed, if you're trying to figure it all out, if you're trying to get to the place that you think you were sent here by God to conclude. But when you get it, that whether you are focused in 1930 or 1940, or whether you're focused right here, today, your work is about being; observing; vibrating; concluding new preference, aligning with preference —and the world just goes around and around, and around—for what? For what?

Were those in the 1930's sent here to make it some way so that by some deadline it will be some way? There are so many who want you to believe that "We've got to get ready! Gotta get ready!" For what? For eternity? For more opportunity to be? What is it for? What is any of it for? What has any of it ever been for? What will any of it ever be for?

What it is for, is for your creative pleasure in your NOW. It is for your opportunity to conclude what you would prefer and for your opportunity to align that preference with the Source that is You. And when you use the Guidance that comes from within you to help you know whether you're in sync with the desires that you have set forth, or whether you are not—then you're in alignment. Then, you're in alignment with your NOW. Then, you're in alignment with your Source. Then, you're in alignment with All-That- Is. Then, you are living that which you came forth to live.

When you decide that you're going to go on a vacation, do you tell your friends, "I'm going to meet these specific requirements…There are many things I need to do, and I'm getting them done. And I'll be back when I have fulfilled this responsibility," or, do you go for another reason, like pleasure and adventure and stimulation and exhilaration, and refreshment?

You didn't come forth into this physical experience on a mission to save the world, or to correct the world, or to make the world see the error of their ways. You didn't come forth to align the world, or to unite the world. You didn't come forth to do anything other than have experience, give birth to your preferences, align with your own preferences —and to live happily ever after.

You didn't come to earn worthiness —you already are worthy. You didn't come forth to become intelligent —you already are Intelligence. You didn't come forth to achieve godliness—you already are God. You came forth for the pleasure of being the powerful creator that you are, and you knew that there would be a world full of others doing the same thing, and that you would mix and match. And sometimes you would agree, and often you would not agree. But out of all of it a powerful thing would happen: New ideas would be born.

You knew that the new idea would be born. And you knew you would have the opportunity to feel the thrill of being on the leading edge as the new idea is born, and to feel the rush of creative Life Force flowing through your focused viewpoint. You knew you would have an Emotional Center that would let you know whether—in this moment—the idea that has been born within you, aligns with other conclusions that you have already achieved.

As Non-physical Energy—you decide that you will focus into this time/space reality, and this worthy, loving, Pure Positive Energy Consciousness focuses here, for the express purpose of providing an opportunity for Broader Perspective to move forward, for the achievement of what? Expansion? Yes, but expansion is inevitable. Joy? Yes, for the purpose of joy. That's why we all exist.

We exist for the thrill of our powerful NOW. Whether you are east coast or west coast, it's still NOW. Whether you are on this continent or the other side of the world, it's still NOW. Whether you are physical or Non-physical, it's still NOW.

NOW is the powerful juncture where all Consciousness has awareness, NOW—NOW!

So, in 1930, this woman is aligning or not aligning, fully or not fully, with the Broader Perspective of her that is focused NOW—and you're doing the same thing. In other words, the juncture where the physical and the Non-physical converge is NOW. It's the converging of the Energy of who you are with the Energy of who You are.

So, as you stand in your NOW and you're loving your moment, you are in alignment NOW, totally with who you are. We call that blending. Some call it allowing your soul to be present. Some call it inspired. Some call it tuned in, tapped in, turned on. Some call it in the flow. There are a lot of different ways of expressing this conscious connection with who you are…We call it the Art of Allowing. We call it the art—the art of deliberately adjusting my vibration, as often as I can consciously manage, for the sole purpose of allowing the juncture NOW of the fullness of me, to be focused through the fullness of Me…and when you meet someone who is achieving that, you would describe them in a variety of different words, you would say, "That's a happy person." You would say, "That is such a balanced person." You would say, "Oh, do you see how coordinated that person is?" Have you watched the Olympic Games? Do you see those kids standing on those diving platforms, or getting ready for their race? Do you see them aligning with who they are? (or working to do that?) Do you see them recognizing that they have untapped resources that they want to align with, right here and now.

Do you see the musician, so at-one with his instrument that it seems as if there is no separation whatsoever? And the music flows through him in a magical rhythm that sets you upside down, and turns you inside out as you hear the harmony of his Source flowing through his instrument?

You never said, "I will come forth and go it alone." You always said, "I will come forth and allow that which is Source to (demonstrate, is the word in the book that Jerry read) demonstrate through me. I will be Source Energy in physical form. In fact, I will be Me."

So, who are you? You are magnificent. You are genius. You are in the right place at the right time. You're doing just fine. And as you work to appreciate and approve of who you are, right here and right now, instead of working so hard to compare yourself with every other point of Consciousness on the planet… and if you will let your variety inspire you to your personal preference —you will not worry about how anybody else is doing, and you will let your dominant desire to be to align with You.

NOW, you can be a member of this diverse Universe, magnificent in your unique way, complete in your unique way, and, most important, therefore, happy in your unique way. That's what we wish for you.

We wish every moment of your experience to be joyful like it is for us. We want you to look around your world and not worry, but to revel in its beauty. We want you to look around your own life and not worry, but to revel, in its magnificence. We want you to look at your own body and not nitpick about a wrinkle or an extra pound, or 20 or 30 or 40.

We want you to look at yourself and adore yourself. If you will make this small effort to appreciate you and what is yours NOW, you will soften, so quickly, any resistance that has been keeping you apart from the things you want. It is the magic formula that you've been looking for. It is the key to your blending. It is the key to your allowing. It is the key to you getting what you want. It is the key to your abundance, your clarity, and to your stamina. It is the key to your energy. It is the key to your vitality. It is the key to your flexibility. It is the key to your wellness. It is the key to all things that feel good to you.

Make some small effort, every chance you get, at looking at where you stand NOW and doing your best to soothe and appreciate you NOW, to soothe and appreciate your NOW….

Many of you have been hearing us talk about Guidance System, and many of you understand that Law of Attraction abounds, and that it is the manager of this Universe, and that it organizes all circumstances and events.

Many of you understand that you are offering a "radio signal" always, and that Law of Attraction answers it, so that what you're offering vibrationally and what you're getting back always matches. And many of you now understand that what you think and what you feel, and what manifests, always matches.

We want to show you, from where you stand, if we were standing in your physical shoes, the effort that we would be making, if we were standing in your physical shoes, of soothing ourselves, if we were standing in your physical shoes, back into alignment with Us, so that we can stand in your physical shoes.

When you feel good, you've got Source flowing through you. That's the reason you feel so good, it's all of the reason that you feel so good. That's what good-feeling is? Goodfeeling is allowing who-you-really-are to flow, in this moment.

So, no matter the topic, no matter the subject, no matter the question, our first order of business is to help you get into the vibrational place that you can allow in what you're asking for. Whether it's an answer to something that you've been wondering about, whether it's just a curiosity question that's been bugging you, or whether it's how to bring yourself from a place that is not pleasing you to a place that is pleasing you…because there is nothing off limits for you.

If you have the ability, in this time/space reality, to identify a question or a desire, it is our promise to you, that we can show you how to soothe yourself, in very short order, into a place of allowing your desire to come into your experience.

THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CANNOT DO, OR BE, OR HAVE.

People are still killing whales and killing each other, and molesting kids

Guest: People are still killing whales and killing each other, and molesting kids. And in that balance of not putting my attention to it, then I think that, somehow, I'm saying that that's okay. I'm very idealistic, and there's this discord, and I don't really know how to manage it.

Abraham: As you see things not wanted, and you feel that uncomfortable feeling as you see it, and within that, you feel a rocket of desire within you that things be differently -- now your work is to find harmony with your own desire. Every time you turn back and look at things that are not as you want them to be, you are in discord with your own rocket.

There are those that would say to you, "Well, we need you to keep looking at the problem, because we've discovered that we can motivate you to the action that serves us more by keeping you looking at the problem, by keeping you aggravated about all of this."

What you're wanting to say is, "I felt the aggravation; I felt the rocket of desire; I asked the Universe, on your behalf, for a resolution. I know that when anyone asks, the Universe always answers. So help's on the way. And I'm going to do my best about helping us all to receive the help that is on the way, by holding myself in vibrational harmony with the desire that I have identified."

There are so many well meaning people who see the contrast, give birth to the rocket of desire, feel it powerfully, shout it to the Universe -- and the Universe is answering. And then, they're campaigning against what's wrong and holding themselves apart from the solution. Even though solutions are happening all over the world, they never have access to them, because they are vibrationally so different from the solutions, that even though solutions are happening, they never get to see a glimpse of them.

We wouldn't attempt in any way to try to convince you that there are not things that are happening in your world that you don't want to happen. But, looking at the things that you don't want, will never make your world more as you want it to be. It will only drag you down into the discord of that.

As a creator, you are better off with those things you don't want in your world, than if your world was, by your standards, perfect in every way, because those things cause you to reach beyond what-is. And if you do not find reason to reach beyond what-is, then you stand still, and none of us can do that. There is only motion forward. Contrast assures that.

We are all free, or none of us are free. And so, if you like being able to choose the things that you like to choose -- then it must be all right with you that others choose the things that they want to choose.

"Oh, that's so hard! It's so hard. I want them to choose, within reason, only things that I would choose." And we say, then somebody gets to choose what you would choose. And you say, "Well, can't we just all agree on what's all right for us to choose?" And we say, how's that working out for you, now?

Today there are bombs being dropped on nations that choose other than you would have them choose -- for no reason other than that they are choosing other than you would have them choose.

You say, "Our way of government is the only way that is acceptable. And we will snuff out all others who are choosing otherwise." And we say, well, where does that one end?

It turns out that it is all being orchestrated from that Broader Perspective. Let's say that some of you get very influential. And you manage to offer your brand of beliefs in such a way that everybody on the planet today, just for a moment, at about 4:30 this afternoon, believes as you believe. Just for that moment, you finally got it done -- but, then, tomorrow a whole avalanche of new spirits, renegade spirits, come forth into new bodies with whole different sets of ideas and intentions of everything that you have orchestrated.

The balance of intent is coming forth from that broader Non-Physical Perspective, and the variety is supreme, because out of that variety, each genius consciousness gets to choose something more.

The discord and the squalor and suffering and the poverty and the negative emotion, and the illness, all the bad stuff that you see or hear about in your physical environment -- is not because blessed spirits are coming forth and choosing bad things. In every single case, every bit of that suffering or sickness, or sadness, is because somebody's locked off their signal momentarily.

You don't need to worry about the choices. It's not because the choices are there, that people are making horrible choices. In fact, the more that they feel that they don't have choices, the more locked off they are, and the more choices that feel awful they make. Those that are acting out in violence, aren't acting out from their place of feeling free and secure. They're feeling bound and insecure. They're frightened. They're fighting for their very life, on vibrational levels.

It doesn't take many like you to lie in your bed, acknowledge some violence that you worry about, and feel the discomfort of it, and then feel the rocket of desire burst forth, that your children, and children like them, have lovely environments to grow up in. And then, as you reach for thoughts, in the next 30 days, that cause you to lock onto that feeling of Well-being -- you would be amazed at the power of influence that the effort of one individual provides.

You didn't come to this world because it is broken and needs fixing. You came to this world because it is fantastic and you wanted to be here. But then, when you get here, when you start finding fault with parts of it that don't please you, you sort of negate the balance that you knew would be here that you chose, to begin with. That's why we want you to begin relaxing and allowing everything to be okay for a while.

Your work is to joyously choose thoughts, words and actions that feel good while you choose them. And you say, "Well, that doesn't sound like enough justification for this life experience. How will I separate myself from the others? How will I stand out? How will I become the leader of the pack? How will I get the most stars on my chart? How will I excel?"

The other day we asked a group, "Does it bother you that Source Energy adores 100% of your population? How do you feel about that? Source Energy adores, not just tolerates, not just allows, Source Energy adores 100% of the population." Some are irritated at the idea, because they've been working very hard to be virtuous and praiseworthy. And it's irritating that those not working nearly as hard are still adored.

When you reach this place that it is alright with you, that everything is alright, then you have no reason, ever again, to lock off your signal. That doesn't mean you don't have preferences. But when you no longer are condemning, pushing against, negating, or trying to remove something, then you're no longer a vibrational match to any of that, and then, only Well-being can be your experience.

FOLLOW WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE TRUE. IF IT FEELS GOOD, IT'S RIGHT ON. IF IT DOESN'T FEEL GOOD, IT'S NOT. THAT'S IT, THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO THAT.

Is it an employment "opportunity" or bondage?

"Is it an employment "opportunity" or bondage? Because what you really want is freedom, many of you equate working for other people as bondage, but if you would realize that the corporation, as an entity, is not so different from the individual, it might be easier to understand the employer's decisions. Long before the buildings or the workers, the visionary of the corporation had an idea for something that began summoning Energy. So years later maybe you are hired as a part of that team, and without realizing it you are now the beneficiary of that continuing flowing Energy. When you step into one of those employment positions, Life Force is summoned through you because of the vision of the founder--unless you're bucking the current. Most get into that fast moving stream and paddle against the current--and then complain about it being a hard ride--where they could get into their canoe and easily paddle with the fast moving current. You can soar and thrive in any environment as long as you are not seeing things that you are using as your reason to paddle against the current. And so, it doesn't really matter what others are deciding. The questions is: "As I am choosing to stand here, it's a way for dollars to flow through me in exchange for the effort I am offering. Am I predominantly letting the Energy flow through me, or not? Am I letting it in?"

Death: What is the Actual Process?

Guest: I've heard you talk an a lot about death in the last year that... [We thought we were talking about life.] The thing that I'm still not complete with, is the actual process of the transition itself. I can think about after the transition and be very comfortable with that, but if I think about drowning or falling out of an airplane or some other horrible way of dying, I don't feel real comfortable with that.

Abraham: Do you ever have a bad dream? [Yes] And do you ever wake up right in the middle of it? [Yes] That's what death is like in those "horrible" situations you just described. In other words, right in the middle of something that you feel would be abhorrent or intolerable, you wake up into the reality of who you really are -- And it is like a distant dream that is not in your now.

Guest: So I wake up before it's so horrible that I can't stand it any more?

Abraham: Always, every single time, without exception. Anytime you try to superimpose how you would feel in a given situation, you are distorting. But it is our promise to you that when that time is there for you, that the transition is very quick.

The problem with most people is that they worry about death. They're pushing very hard against it. Death is not seen by most of you as the natural thing, or as the glorious, good transitioning thing that it is. Instead, it is seen as a bad thing, something so bad that you give it to those people that you hate most. You give them the "death penalty." Think about it. You're not giving them the reward of death. You're not giving them the relief of death, or the release of death. You have figured that it's about the worst thing that could ever happen to any of you, and then you save it as punishment to wield in the worst possible way. It's no wonder that you worry about it, because all of you know that it's coming to you.

And so, we can understand how you would be a little confused about how you would feel about it. But we have to say to you, you live in this Universe that is always yielding good things to you, and that the transition into Nonphysical is like, in one fell swoop, leaving behind all worry and fear. But what happens is, you see it as something not wanted, and so you push against it. Most people are pushing so hard against this death thing that they are not allowing themselves to truly live. So, there are few of you that are really living in the free, good feeling, of this moment, that you could if you were releasing your fear of death.

If we were standing in your physical shoes we would begin saying, on a regular basis, "I love this physical experience. And as long as there are things that are drawing my attention, and as long as I am able to allow the Energy to flow through me, I want to run rambunctiously in this physical body. I want a long, healthy, happy physical experience. And when there are no longer things that are calling me, I will make my transition quickly."

In this physical time/space reality, it's pretty easy for you to utilize the contrast. You are becoming a global consciousness. You have lots of experiences, early in life experience. There is always more for you, but often you find yourself not able to find something more that you are wanting. But your Inner Being is never in that position. And in the moment that you spend time saying, "Well, I'm really not interested in that, and I'm really not interested in that," and you are not able to muster something that is summoning life through you, your Inner Being always says, "Well, there's plenty going on here, come on with us." So there is a withdrawal of your consciousness from here -- just like getting up and walking out of a movie that's no longer pleasing you, or leaving a conversation that doesn't feel good any more. But your consciousness does not miss a beat.

And so, the only question that we really want to talk about, relative to the death process, is not about the moment of death, that's a piece of cake. What we want to talk to you about is how much you are willing to endure not being fully connected to Source Energy before you make that decision.

We would far rather that all of you walk out and get run over by a truck, in the moment that you leave this building, than that you spend long lingering years worrying about one thing and another, and pinching the Life Force off, little by little. It is much more effective to just get it over with, reemerge into Nonphysical -- and then make another run at something that will summon more Energy through you.

That's what the beasts of your planet do. They come and go very easily because they're not worried about death. They know they're eternal beings. They are always fully focused in life. And they come to their full maturity faster and easier in life experience, and so they come in, they become mature, they experience the deliciousness of life, they make their transition -- and they come again, and again, and again and again. And you are the same.
