Weird is the New Normal
Hi
Um,
why do I shake?
And I notice I shake more
when I'm around people.
I shake, really shake
when I come
to these
events.
What do you think?
I think I'm
resisting energy.
I think there's
a lot of energy
moving through me,
and
I'm not able to
allow it all.
Well that is
certainly the case.
When Esther first
began receiving us,
and Jerry was summoning
more
of us through her
than she was
really ready for.
Her body
did a lot of
quivering and shaking.
She was sitting
and sort of
hanging onto a chair
for dear life.
She felt like
she had her toes
stuck in a light socket.
And her feet were sort of
kicking about.
He has a video of it that,
as long as Esther's alive
you'll never see it.
Or shortly thereafter
Jerry won't be alive.
And
that is what that means.
In other words,
summoning more energy.
But,
the reason we ask you
what you think about it
is because
it's also
what happens
when you are
aware
of others
attention
upon you,
and you don't trust
what the outcome
of their judgment
would be.
That feels true.
And
it feels more like that,
than the other.
In other words
you are often up to speed
with your energy.
And you know
how to do that.
But
when you
describe it
as
when you're around
other people,
that really is telling
that
you don't trust
how they will feel
about you.
And
you know what
you can't trust how they're
gonna feel about you.
You can't count on them
approving of you,
or liking you.
And so
you're not out of line
to doubt that they're
going to love you,
because,
most of them aren't
interested in you at all.
And many of them,
are biased in a way
that wouldn't serve you.
But,
we're just sort of
really
pleading a case to you,
to help you to finally
get to the place
where you don't give a rip
what they think.
Because
they're
flakey.
You cannot control
their perspective,
and so
you cannot trust that
their perspective of you
is ever gonna be valid.
But the perspective
that you can trust
is this perspective
of source.
And as you tune yourself
more to the perspective
of source,
you care less and less
and less,
what anybody else thinks.
Esther discoverd this
first hand because
when Abraham began
flowing through her,
at Jerry's request,
there has never been
someone who wanted
to know more
than Jerry.
He was
and is
the question asker
of the world.
And Esther has
always seen herself
as a sort of facilitator.
She was
his secretary,
before they were married.
She saw herself as someone,
he would have a great idea
and she would find
a way to implement it.
Even today
that's the way
that it happens.
He thinks up great stuff,
and Esther figures out
how to make it happen.
Fortunately he has
many other people
figuring out how
to make it happen now.
So
it takes many to keep up
with Jerry's ideas.
He's got
one a minute,
or more coming up.
But then
what Esther began
to notice is
that
the more
she facilitated
the more ideas
he
would come up with,
until she was
really busy,
just trying to keep up
with his ideas.
So then
it comes around
to recognizing that
what you're really
wanting to do is,
concentrate on
coming into alignment
with who you really are.
In other words,
Esther,
because of Jerry's asking,
actually was willing,
to put herself
in a situation
like this.
Which,
from Esther's
point of view was
not something
she
ever thought she would do
or ever wanted to do.
She did not like the idea
of being weird
in front of people.
And,
especially in the days
that this began,
it was weirder then
than it is now.
It's becoming more
accepted,
but it was
weird.
And
Esther was
not all that
happy about it.
And
she would sit
in readiness
while Jerry was sort of
preparing you
for what was to come.
And she was
thinking thoughts like
"How did I get myself
into this?"
and
"this is another fine mess
you have gotten me into."
And
she was sweating bullets
much of the time.
But the moment,
that she would
hit the stage,
and relax
as she always does.
Clinging to the platform,
or to the podium
and bringing herself
through
the process that she's learned
of breathing,
and relaxing,
and allowing.
Almost instantaneously
she would release
those
thoughts of concern,
and she would
go into the Vortex,
even though those were
not the words that we
were offering in those days.
And she would feel
a calm
and a clarity,
flow through her.
And from that moment on,
as Abraham
flowed through her,
it was a wonderful
experience.
And it wasn't until
segment of refreshment,
that her nervousness
would come back.
But after a while
Esther began to accept
that
she could go,
to what she was calling
Abraham,
for that security
and well-being,
that sense of well-being,
and she was leaving
everyone else
out of the equation
you see.
Until in time
now she feels no
nervousness what so ever.
Because we have finally,
over all of these years,
convinced her
not to give a rip
what any of you think.
And
there is plenty
that is offered,
through emails
and through letters,
there are many people
who do not approve.
When
some of the book reviews
that are written,
in other words they think
this is just madness and
what in the world does
Esther think she's doing.
And
there are those who
don't believe she's
doing it at all.
And those that don't like
what she's doing
if they do believe
that she's doing
what she's doing.
In other words
there are endless,
endless, endless opinions.
And Esther and you,
neither one of you
can trust
that those who are
viewing you
will ever be kind,
because
many people stand
outside the Vortex
and beat themselves up
and use you,
or Esther,
as their reason
for beating themselves up.
So finally,
you come to the place,
where you just leave
all of them
out of the equation,
and you attune
to who you are.
And when you tune
to who you are
the more acclimated to this
high-flying energy you are,
the less you shake
and the more
confident you are.
So
to be willing
to be my weird self,
and not care what
anyone else thinks,
just kind of shake,
Yes.
until I don't.
Yes, yes.
and you and Abraham
would do well to
no longer to refer to it
as weird,
because it isn't.
This is where it's at.
This alignment
is where it's at.
This is what's normal.
This is what you're
reaching for.
This is who you were
before you were born.
This is who
you have become.
This is your natural
state of being.
This is where it's at.
The other
is what is weaker.
So
you're right when you say,
"So this quivering
is my indicator
that I'm not quite
up to speed with who I am."
And we say,
"Yes,
that's a good indicator
of not being quite
up to speed
with who you are."
But if you weren't
making an effort
to get up to speed
you wouldn't be quivering.
We'd far rather
see you quiver.
I didn't catch that
but I'll just listen
to the tape
Well we'll say it again,
because we want
you to hear it.
If you have not become,
and if you were not
in the process of
of making an effort
to get up to speed with it,
there wouldn't be
any quivering.
The analogy
that we offer is
that if your car
is going a hundred
miles an hour
and you hit a tree
it's a bigger problem
than if your car's going
five miles an hour.
But we don't want you
to slow your car down.
Just bang into some trees,
until you
get this figured out.
That's really
what we're saying.
Ok.
Enough?
Yes,
thank you.
