"You are natural, creative, expressive beings. You incorporate an effortlessness of essence; and as you widen, you begin to view more and more of your effortlessness. I also acknowledge that you also view much that incorporates, still, effort; but you approach effortlessness increasingly as you widen, this being what you would term to be your goal; although you have no goal, for you have no purpose, for your experience is your purpose! You are manifest to be experiencing. You are in a continuous, underline, continuous state of becoming. Therefore, you have no goal, for you have no ending, and a goal is an ending! You accomplish continuously. You need only be acknowledging of your continuous accomplishment!"

"..... "How do I be a caring uplifter without getting bogged down in the energy of someone else?" And so, here is a phrase that we think that would be good for you to roll around in your mind on a pretty regular basis: "I will mind my own business." Because you cannot vibrate for another. And the thing that causes the most discord in teachers' energy is wanting something for someone else and not having the ability to shift the energy of the other - but holding the other as their point of desire. So when you really really want something to be better for your daughter, or better for your mother, or better for a friend - better for somebody you care very much about, and you converse with them often enough that they've activated their desire within you - but you can't ALLOW for them. Though the clarity of your example you can allow for YOU, but you can't allow for them. So, now you've got yourself in this trap where you want something that you cannot do anything about. And so, we say to you, if you can't do anything about it - and that falls with everybody - that means everybody - if you can't do anything about it then it truly is none of your business. You see. If you CAN do something about it, then it's your business. So, you can feel better about the way your friend feels, but you can't do something about your friend feeling better. You can do something about how *you* feel about how she feels, but you can't do anything about *she* feels. When you make it your job to change the way someone feels, oh - you get so out of balance. Because you begin summoning on their behalf - it falls into the category of answering questions that aren't being asked. It's like pushing a noodle and frustration begins to build within you. And so, what we would encourage you to do - and this is - what you've said to us here today speaks it all - you feel very good when you fixate on something you can do something about. In other words, if you're not really busy doing something that you can do something about, people will suck you in to all of their drama and all of their trauma. In other words, if you're not busy, your phone will start ringing with things that will make you - will keep you very busy because you want to be busy. All of us need an active calling. And if you have not identified goals of your own, you will find yourself trying to fulfill goals of others. And you cannot do it because you cannot vibrate for them, you see. That's big. That's the biggest thing that you will ever hear from us relative to interpersonal relationships. You have to be selfish enough to mind your own business. So when someone says, "You justdon't care. You just don't care - that's why you're not getting involved with this - that's why your eyes are glazing over when I'm giving you the nitty gritty details of it." In response to that you say "It isn't that I do not care, it is thatI can't do anything about it. And it tears me apart. You activate this very powerful desire within me on your behalf and I can't change the way you feel. I can't change your point of attraction. And I'm tortured in this process." You see. "And so out of self survival - and call it selfishness if you want - I have decided to turn my attention toward things that I CAN do something about." And there are others that will say "Well that's very selfish." And we say, it must be, because you were not given the vibratory range to vibrate for others. You cannot attract health to others, you cannot attract wealth to others, you cannot attract relationships to others. You can't stop their problems. You can just live the example of being in alignment and then help them to understand how you do it."

Abraham

"An atom can take care of itself, but atoms themselves are somewhat like domesticated animals; joining in the biological family of the body, to some extent they become like friendly cats or dogs under your domain. Animals pick up the characteristics of their owners. Cells are highly influenced by your behavior and beliefs. If you affirm the rightness ofyour physical being, then you help the cells and organs in your body, and without knowing it treat them kindly. If you do not trust your physical nature you radiate this feeling also, regardless of what health procedures you may take. The cells and organs know that you do not trust them, even as animals do. In a way you set up antibodies against yourself, simply because you do not confirm the rightness of your physical being as it exists in space and time."

Seth

"Amid the mad scramble, you do make your own reality. I admit that this sounds too simple, but you will not be caught in an earthquake if you do not want to be, and no one dies who has not decided to do so. You make your own reality—or you do not. And if you do not, then you are everywhere a victim, and the universe must be an accidental mechanism appearing with no reason. So that the miraculous picture you have seen of your body came accidentally into creation, and out of some cosmic accident attained its miraculous complexity. And that body was formed so beautifully for no reason except to be a victim. That is the only other alternative to forming your own reality. You cannot have a universe in between. You have a universe formed with a reason, or a universe formed without a reason. And in a universe of reason, there are no victims. Everything has a reason, or nothing has a reason. So—choose your side!"

Seth 'Nature of Personal Reality'

"Generally speaking, those who advocate health food sor natural foods subscribe to some of the same overall beliefs held by your physicians. They believe that diseases are the result of exterior conditions. Quite simply, their policy can be read: `You are what you eat.' Some in this group also subscribe to philosophical ideas that somewhat moderate those concepts, recognizing the importance of the mind. Often though, some strong suggestions of a very negative character are given, so that all foods except certain accepted ones are seen as bad for the body, and the cause of diseases. People become afraid of the food they eat, and the field of eating then becomes the arena. Moral values become attached to food, with some seen as good and some as bad. Symptoms appear, and are quite directly considered to be the natural result of ingesting foods on the forbidden list. In this system, at least, the body is not insulted with a bewildering assortment of drugs for therapy. It may, however, be starved of very needed nourishment. Beyond that the whole problem of health and illness becomes simplistically applied, and here food is scrutinized. You are what you think, not what you eat – and to a large extent what you think about what you eat is far more important. What you think about your body, health, and illness will determine how your food is used, and how your chemistry handles fats, for instance, or carbohydrates. Your attitudes in preparing meals are highly important. Physically, it is true, but again generally speaking, that your body needs certain nourishments. But within that pattern there is great leeway, and the organism itself has the amazing capacity to make use of substitutes and alternates. The best diet in the world, by anyone's standards, will not keep you healthy if you have a belief in illness."

SETH

"That knower is instantly aware of all your needs, and is the portionof the universe that is personally disposed in your direction, because its energies form your own person. That protection always couches your existence. It means that you live "in a state of grace." You can be unaware of that state. You can deny it or refuse it, but you are within it regardless. It forms the very fabric of your individual beings. Value fulfillment means that each individual, each entity, of whatever nature, spontaneously, automatically seeks those conditions that are suited to its own fulfillment, and to the fulfillment of others. In the most basic of terms, no one's fulfillment can be achieved at the expense of another's. Fulfillment does not happen that way. Your very lives seek the best directions for fulfillment. Our work seeks its own best directions for fulfillment. When you realize this, then you can accept seeming setbacks, or seeming contradictions, with a calm detached air, realizing that such factors appear as they do only in the light of your present intellectual knowledge - a knowledge that must be limited to current events - and that in the larger picture known to you at other levels, such seeming contradictions, or seemingly unfortunate situations, or whatever, will be seen to be to your advantage. You do not have all the facts, you see, at that intellectual level, so if you base all of your judgments - all of your judgments - at that level alone, then you can be quite short-sighted."

~ Seth, Dreams Evolution and Value Fulfillment, Volume 2

"I am saying this as simply as possible. There are profound complications beneath my words, however. Opposites have validity only in your own system of reality. They are a part of your root assumptions, and so you must deal with them as such. They represent, however, deep unities that you do not understand. Your conception of good and evil results in large part from the kind of consciousness you have presently adopted. You do not perceive wholes, but portions. The conscious mind focuses with a quick, limited, but intense light, perceiving from a given field of reality only certain `stimuli.' It then puts these stimuli together, forming the liaison of similarity. Anything that it does not accept as aportion of reality, it does not perceive. The effect of opposites results, then, from a lack of perception. Since you must operate within the world as you perceive it, then the opposites will appear to be conditions of existence. These elements have been isolated for a certain reason, however. You are being taught, and you are teaching yourselves to handle energy, to become conscious cocreators with All That Is, and one of the `stages ofdevelopment' or learning processes includes dealing with opposites as realities. In your terms, the ideas of good and evil help you recognize the sacredness of existence, the responsibility of consciousness. The ideas of opposites also are necessary guidelines for the developing ego. The inner self knows quite well the unity that exists."

Seth

"Then a mason came forth and said, "Speak to us of Houses."
And he answered and said:
Build of your imaginings a bower in the wilderness ere you build a house within the city walls.
For even as you have home-comings in your twilight, so has the wanderer in you, the ever distant and alone.
Your house is your larger body.
It grows in the sun and sleeps in the stillness of the night; and it is not dreamless. Does not your house dream? And dreaming, leave the city for grove or hilltop?
Would that I could gather your houses into my hand, and like a sower scatter them in forest and meadow.
Would the valleys were your streets, and the green paths your alleys, that you might seek one another through vineyards, and come with the fragrance of the earth in your garments.
But these things are not yet to be.
In their fear your forefathers gathered you too near together. And that fear shall endure a little longer. A little longer shall your city walls separate your hearths from your fields.
And tell me, people of Orphalese, what have you in these houses? And what is it you guard with fastened doors?
Have you peace, the quiet urge that reveals your power?
Have you remembrances, the glimmering arches that span the summits of the mind?
Have you beauty, that leads the heart from things fashioned of wood and stone to the holy mountain?
Tell me, have you these in your houses?
Or have you only comfort, and the lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and becomes a host, and then a master?
Ay, and it becomes a tamer, and with hook and scourge makes puppets of your larger desires.
Though its hands are silken, its heart is of iron.
It lulls you to sleep only to stand by your bed and jeer at the dignity of the flesh.
It makes mock of your sound senses, and lays them in thistledown like fragile vessels.
Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral.
But you, children of space, you restless in rest, you shall not be trapped nor tamed.
Your house shall be not an anchor but a mast.
It shall not be a glistening film that covers a wound, but an eyelid that guards the eye.
You shall not fold your wings that you may pass through doors, nor bend your heads that they strike not against a ceiling, nor fear to breathe lest walls should crack and fall down.
You shall not dwell in tombs made by the dead for the living.
And though of magnificence and splendor, your house shall not hold your secret nor shelter your longing.
For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night."

Khalil Gibran

"You have been generating a scatteredness for some time framework now, and you express confusion within yourself in association with what you want and what direction you may be moving into, and what shall offer you joy and comfort and satisfaction; and you continue to not listen to yourself and you continue to not pay attention and genuinely familiarize yourself with you. You continue to project your attention in many other directions NOT associated with yourself, and in this, you also continue to generate confusion and conflict and uneasiness. "

Elias

"You create experiences to match the strength of your beliefs. "

Elias

"It is the process that is the subject, not the outcome. You have moved yourself into a position of concentration in anticipation of outcomes rather than allowing yourself to participate and appreciate the process, and the process is the point, for that is what you are doing throughout the entirety of your focus. It all concerns the process, the process of exploration. The outcome is not the point. For in actuality, there is never an actual outcome, for it is continuously changing as you continuously engage more of the process. "

Elias

"We love seeing you applauding someone else's success because, when you are genuinely thrilled by it, that means you are right on track of your own. Many think that success means getting everything they want. And we say, that is what DEAD is, and there is no such thing as that kind of dead. Success is not about getting it done. It is about dreaming and feeling positive in the unfolding. The standard of success in life is not the money or the stuff -- the standard of success IS absolutely the amount of joy you feel."

- Abraham-Hicks, ASK AND IT IS GIVEN

Allergies

Questioner: Any idea about what are called allergies? Would that be...

Bashar: Rejection.

Q: Rejection is what I was thinking

.B: That's a very generalized answer, but that is the generalized foundation to most concepts of allergic reaction. It is the concept of rejection, or the concept of not belonging, in that sense. Not fitting in, or perhaps, also in some cases the idea of compartmentalization. Because the idea of thinking of yourself as a collection of parts will cause the different parts that you have created yourself to be to operate at different frequencies; which can more easily, by being a collection of parts, become discordant with each other, causing also the effect you call the allergic reaction. Does that make sense to you? Because you are not functioning harmoniously as a single whole idea. So the more you fragment yourself, the more some of the fragments can get out of step.

This out of step vibration can be experienced in a number of ways, but one of the most common among your species is what you call allergic reaction.

Q: So to correct that would basically be to consider yourself more as one large unit with many facets, rather than many parts?

B: Yes. And, of course, more than conceive of yourself - behave as though that is true.

Q: And how would one do that?

B: The idea of course, is to start simply in answering this question, by having a picture of yourself and your behavior in any given situation and then ask yourself: "If I were really behaving in the way I'm most excited to behave, if I'm really being the person I'm most excited to be, if I were really doing the thing that I would really be more excited about doing, would I be behaving differently than the way I'm behaving now? Would I be doing this situation at all? Would I be doing this situation differently?" If there is a difference between the picture of how you behave now, and how it is that your most excited self would behave, then that tells you exactly what to mimic.

Q: In other words, be yourself?

B: In other words, be the most excited self you can be, and by being that you will automatically attract to yourself the things that are representative of the things you need to do, that are representative of your excitement. And the things you don't need to do, that are not representative of your excitement, won't be in your life and won't need to be done.

Q: And you won't be rejecting anything because you will be having what you want.

B: It will simply be a one to one correspondence of reality to the frequency that you give off. It will not be a matter of rejection, it will be a matter of not having attracted what doesn't belong to you.

Q: And then trying to fight it off.

B: Correct. Because that only compounds resistance, which, again, compounds the allergic reaction, because that is all it is - resistance to the whole self, the natural self.

Q: So, of course, it would be excepted and welcomed by an environment -as well as accepting the environment.

B: Well, accepting yourself in totality first. Because then you understand that anything that you would call an environment will simplybe a reflection of the you that you happen to be at that moment.

Because there is no outer reality. That's what reality is, there is NO reality. That's reality.

Bashar

"The world's ideas, fantasies, or myths may seem far divorced from current experience – yet all that you know or experience has its origin in that creative dimension of existence that I am terming Framework 2. In a manner of speaking your factual world rises on a bed of fantasy, myth, and imagination, from which all of your detailed paraphernalia emerge. What then is myth, and what do I mean by the term? Myth is not a distortion of fact, but the womb through which fact must come. Myth involves an intrinsic understanding of the nature of reality, couched in imaginative terms, carrying a power as strong as nature itself. Myth-making is a natural psychic characteristic, a psychic element that combines with other such elements to form amythical representation of inner reality. That representation is then used as [a] model upon which your civilizations are organized, and also as a perceptual tool through whose lens you interpret the private events of your life in their historical context. When you accept myths you call them facts, of course, for they become so a part of your lives, of societies and your professions, that their basis seems self-apparent. Myths are vast psychic dramas, more truthful than facts. They provide an ever-enduring theater of reality. It must be clearly understood, then, that when I speak of myths I mean to imply the nature of psychic events whose enduring reality exists in Framework 2, and forms the patterns that are then interpreted in your world."

"Your rate of learning depends entirely upon you, however. Limited, dogmatic, or rigid concepts of good and evil can hold you back. Too narrow ideas of the nature of existence can follow you through several lives if you do not choose to be spiritually and psychically flexible. These rigid ideas can indeed act like leashes, so that you are forced to circle like a tied puppy dog about a very small radius. In such cases, through perhaps a group of existences, you will find yourself battling against ideas of good and evil, running about in a circle of confusion, doubt, and anxiety. If you form a guilt in your mind, then it is a reality for you, and you must work it out. But many of you form guilts for which there is no adequate cause, and you saddle yourselves with these guilts without reason."

Bird Flu

"This is a very large issue, and highly complex. So far, apparently, approximately 68 to 70 people on the face of this entire planet have died from the apparent cross-breeding of the avian flu virus with the human virus gene, and that should be sufficient to set the entire planet on its ears. Now, without sounding crass about it, who stands largely to benefit from this? HELENA: The pharmaceutical companies. LIDA: (Largely inaudible, but Lida mentions the government)KRIS: These two and many more, but largely overall, Big Pharma stands to gain enormously from it and any governments that are entirely to be found as supporters of government policies. And since many western world governments have substantial holdings with the pharmaceuticals in one way or another, the juggernaut engines of the government will be kicked into full gear to press the population into fear mode to increase the sales of vaccinations almost of any kind in hopes of staving off a pandemic. And this of course must be done under the guise of caring for general public health. Now this does not mean that all individuals involved in those fields are uncaring and callous, but they are all caught up, deeply enmeshed, in the belief structures that involve the medical profession at that level. This serves layers and layers of purposes for all of those involved in that kind of scenario clear across the planet. And there are many people that have a knowing that this is not an issue that they need to feed. It does not mean that they pretend it does not exist, but they have already programmed themselves in one form or another that the enemy is not a virus, but that FEAR is the terrorist in this case, a psychological fear. They have, one way or another, already programmed themselves through their belief structures either that if it happens, it will happen, or that nothing will occur. But they do not chew their nails to the bone worrying as to WHEN -- not if, but when -- they will die from it. And that does make a difference. They are not indifferent to the potential; they have no desire to lend it further energy as to become part of THEIR reality. Again it does not mean that they ignore it, they deny it, they pretend it does not exist. They will acknowledge it as a potential reality, but it may not be the reality that they will create for themselves. And as we suggested, this is a complex issue. There are many probabilities swirling about and the consensus reality has yet to be determined, but it does not override your own choices. How many of you have been around family members, some of which have gotten the flu at one time or another and you did not manifest one single sneeze? And how many times has it occurred that you seemed to suffer as Job, while those around you did not sneeze once? Should it not be that if you all live in the same environment, you should all have the same condition? Or is it that somehow or other viruses can select their targets? Do they sit at their table, Napoleon-like, and move their human pieces and strategize as to whom will get it tomorrow? And what army of viruses will attack? Indeed not. We are then suggesting that this may be far more overrated and that potential stocks of pharmaceutical companies may be over-inflated at the moment and the next quarter may not bring the expected increases and yields. Does that answer your question?"

Kris

"...if you adhere to a belief that you are constantly, consistently and incessantly victimized by others; that somehow or other, you are screwed by everyone and everything at every corner, then you will literally invent the situations that mirror very well those specific beliefs. Those sets of convictions will clearly reflect back to you your specific concentration at any time that creates a very specific atmosphere...."

Seth Speaks, session 594

"Objects are the symbols.
You usually think of them simply as realities.
You think of thoughts, images and dreams sometimes as being symbolic of
other things, but the truth is that physical objects are themselves
symbols. They are the exterior symbols that stand for inner experience.
There are therefore, mass physical symbols upon which you all agree, as
well as private personal symbols.
The whole nature and structure of physical life as you know it, is a
symbolic statement made by groups of entities who choose to work with
physical symbolism. So the body is a symbol for what you are, or what
you think you are-and these may be two different things indeed.
Any physical ailment is symbolic of an inner reality or statement. Your
entire life is a statement in physical terms, written upon time as you
understand it.
Once you understand the symbolic nature of physical reality, then you
will no longer feel entrapped by it. You have formed the symbols, and
therefore you can change them. You must learn of course, what the
various symbols mean in your own life, and how to translate their own
meaning.
To do so, you must first of all remind yourself frequently that the
physical condition is symbolic-not a permanent condition. Then you must
look within yourself for the inner actuality represented by the symbol.
The same process can be followed regardless of the nature of the
problem, or of your challenge.
Your intimate physical environment is, therefore a symbolic statement of
an inner situation…
…The environment is always altered from the inside. There is instant
feedback between the interior and exterior conditions, but the mobility,
the necessity and the method of changing the physical environment will
always come from within."

from 'Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment'

“For what would seem to you to be eons, according to your time scale, men were in the dreaming state far more than they were in the waking one. They slept long hours, as did the animals – awakening, so to speak, to exercise their bodies, obtain sustenance, and, later, to mate. It was indeed a dreamlike world, but a highly charming and vital one, in which dreaming imaginations played rambunctiously with all the probabilities entailed in this new venture: imaging the various forms of language and communication possible, spinning great dream tales of future civilizations replete with their own built-in histories – building, because they were now allied with time, mental edifices that automatically created pasts as well as futures.
“These ancient dreams were shared to some extent by each consciousness that was embarked upon the earthly venture, so that creatures and environment together formed great environmental realities. Valleys and mountains, and their inhabitants, together dreamed themselves into being and coexistence.
“The species – from your viewpoint – lived at a much slower pace in those terms. The blood, for example, did not need to course so quickly through the veins [and arteries], the heart did not need to beat as fast. And in an important fashion the coordination of the creature in its environment did not need to be as precise, since there was an elastic give-and-take of consciousness between the two.
“In ways almost impossible to describe, the ground rules were not as yet firmly established. Gravity itself did not carry its all-pervasive sway, so that the air was more buoyant. Man was aware of its support in a luxurious, intimate fashion. He was aware of himself in a different way, so that, for example, his identification with the self did not stop where his skin stopped: He could follow it outward into the space about his form, and feel it merge with the atmosphere with a primal sense-experience that you have forgotten.
“During this period, incidentally, mental activity of the highest, most original variety was the strongest dream characteristic, and the knowledge [man] gained was imprinted upon the physical brain: what is now completely unconscious activity involving the functions of the body, its relationship with the environment, its balance and temperature, its constant, inner alterations. All of these highly intricate activities were learned and practiced in the dream state as the CUs [consciousness units] translated their inner knowledge through the state of dreaming into physical form.
“Then in your terms man began, with the other species, to waken more fully into the physical world, to develop the exterior senses, to intersect delicately and precisely with space and time. Yet man still sleeps and dreams, and that state is still a firm connective with his own origins, and with the origins of the universe as he knows it as well.
“... In a fashion those ancient dreamers, through their immense creativity, dreamed all of life’s creatures in all of their pasts, presents, and futures – that is, their dreams opened up the doors of space and time to entities that otherwise would not have been released into actualization, even as, for example, the units of consciousness were once released from the mind of All-That-Is.
“All possible entities that can ever be actualized always exist. They [have] always existed and they always will exist. All-That-Is must, by its characteristics, be all that it can ever be, and so there can be no end to existence – and, in those terms, no beginning. But in terms of your world the units of consciousness, acting both as forces [waves] and as psychological entities [particles] of massive power, planted the seeds of your world in a dimension of imaginative power that gave birth to physical form. In your terms those entities [particles] are your ancestors – and yet [they are] not yours alone, but the ancestors of all the consciousnesses that make up your world."
