Introduction To
Abraham
In the beginning
because of the
thought that was in my mind
when I first sat to meditate
I saw them as um -
like a dead person
that was really smart.
And as time has gone on
I'm realizing that
they are infinite intelligence
and that they are as broad or as deep
as the question that is being asked.
So
they no longer feel like a person to me
you know like -
like you'd talk to your dead father
or someone.
They feel like
infinite intelligence
although they have very specific personality.
I feel their love and their humor.
You know their -
they -
their appreciation of every person
that they interact with.
They're intelligence.
That's the -
That probably the best word
I would use to describe them.
The stage I've reached
and i can't seem to um -
I see no reason to get past it
I guess -
I remember once
when I finally discovered the word ineffable.
And what the word ineffable means is
there's no words for it.
And I had -
even before this -
I had come to the decision that
the closer I got to understanding
what all that is out there
the less words there would be for it.
It's like
I don't try to understand
about how the electricity was created
to make all this go around here
the lights and the sound
and so on and so forth
I just know I just have to
flip a switch
and I trust that
the switch will turn the light on.
And to me
our work with Abraham is like that.
I just -
I've enough -
I've lived enough life
had enough experiences before Abraham
and with Abraham uh -
to feel really really good about
the power of what they're teaching
and uh - the uh -
value to the individual.
Life was really really good
before Abraham.
We were very healthy
we had a wonderful relationship
we had a wonderful income
we had a wonderful career business um -
uh that's right -
fulfilling work to do.
Something that was really rewarding.
Something that I just
absolutely loved.
I thought I would never ever ever stop it.
I always said
if I never made a penny out of it
I'd keep doing it.
I loved it so much.
Um -
Well still have all of that
plus all of that.
But on the other hand
I now understand life -
The answers -
The big questions are answered.
I understand the purpose of life is joy
whereas before I thought
joy was kind of like -
Maybe we shouldn't get too joyous
maybe we should suffer a little more.
Maybe there should be more
pain involved.
Maybe there's something wrong with me
wanting everyone around me to be happy.
Uh -
Maybe there's something wrong with me
wanting everyone to enjoy their lives.
Maybe that's not the plan.
And now I understand that is the plan.
That's the -
the ultimate goal in life.
Our purpose for being here
is to achieve joy.
You can use the word joy
be Abraham says
in the terms of -
of to feel good.
Everything -
They say that everything
that any of us ever do or ever want
is for one reason and only -
We may look a those things
that other people want
as something horrible
but they only want it
so they'll feel better.
So that's the ultimate goal
for every one of us
is just to feel better.
More better.
I understand that now.
I never understood that.
Um -
I don't uh -
So many things that I didn't understand
about things that were happening to other people
or even to myself
now they're not mysterious anymore.
Now understanding what Abraham has taught us
now you can look at any situation
and at least understand that
it is changeable
and why it's happening in the way that it is.
So
that's the biggest thing for me.
And I'm not afraid of dying anymore.
I'm not afraid of death.
I'm not afraid that I've done something
inappropriate that's going to cause
me to be punished.
I'm not -
I'm not worried that
I wasn't part of the right organization
and I didn't learn the right rules.
You know.
Or didn't follow the rules
that I learned.
So I feel free.
I've learned also how to
back out of any situation -
psychologically or mentally
or however you want to put it -
fast.
So nothing gets up a head of steam
that causes any problems in my life.
Often in the past
I would let things get too far
and then it's too hard to deal with
whereas before -
with what Abraham's teaching us
about our emotions
I can catch something
it just barely gets off the ground
before I change my process of thought
and start focusing on something differently
which then stops that creation
of what was beginning to develop.
I can see a headache pull back.
I can see a little physical thing change
just really fast in my life.
I can see a relationship issue that could -
would have developed years ago
that I just instantly
by just gently changing the thought
to change that whole thing around.
So we're surer
and happier still
and more prosperous
and we feel free-er.
Yeah.
And I'm extremely fulfilled.
We'd like to uh -
Ask Abraham to come and speak to us.
Ok.
It just takes a few seconds.
I won't move much.
It is nice to have an opportunity to visit.
Well I have some questions for you
and the first question I want to ask is
how can we believe this?
How can we believe that -
that one person can close their eyes
and concentrate and suddenly there's -
there's someone else there?
Help me with that.
Well we would rather
that you believed something
even more than that
and that is
not not just one person can do that
but all persons can and do.
You are all extensions of Source Energy
and so
you could never separate yourself
from the stream of consciousness
that is really you.
It is just that many of you
have formed such barricades or separation.
You see yourselves so separately.
And when you release those barriers
and allow who you really are
to begin flowing
that's when your life really becomes fun.
You can not separate yourself
from that which you really are.
Esther can not separate herself
from that which is Abraham.
Who and what is Abraham?
Well words are tricky because
from your physical format
you are accustomed to seeing things
from your physical point of view.
But we are non-physical consciousness.
We are Source Energy.
We are vibration.
We are thought.
We are not so different from you.
You are an extension
of that which we are.
Everything that is physical
is an extension of that which is Source.
You see.
And so
we are just a purer form
of the energy that is actually you.
Meaning we do not have
thoughts of resistance
that keep us from being
that which is a vibrational match to Source
while in your physical form
sometimes you do.
Have you ever been human?
Well the question
has a misunderstanding at its basis
that we want to clarify first
and that is to say that
everything that s physical
is an extension of that which is non-physical.
Physical friends often look at life
from their physical format
and they think
well it's either dead or alive.
So it's either physical or non-physical
when in reality
it is always non-physical
and sometimes that non-physical focus
is focused into the physical.
So
the question
have you ever been physical
implies that we are not
right now
physical.
While Esther and Jerry and you
and so many others
are the physical extension
of that which we are.
Its sort of like saying to your toaster
why don't you be the electrical current
also?
and the toaster says
I'm the toaster
the electrical current
will be the electrical current
and we're wanting you to understand that
Source Energy will always be
Source Energy
but Source Energy
expresses itself in physical form
all around you.
Why the name Abraham?
The process that Esther uses
to interpret for us
is a process
where she receives blocks of thought -
sort of like downloading to a computer
if you will -
like radio signals -
and Esther receives the block of thought
at an unconscious level
and then finds -
also at an unconscious level -
the physical word equivalent.
So
even the label Abraham
was a label that Esther fashioned
at an unconscious level
because it was the best descriptive word
that explained -
easily in one label
like you want your names to be -
that which we are.
In other words
we are at the heart
of every religion that exists.
We've been around for a very long time
and so it was just the best name.
It also puts us
first in the phone book.
