Abraham-Hicks
I have recently done some reading up on Abraham-Hicks. Now to write it down and see if I truly understand what I have learned so far.
Abraham is a group of non-physical teachers. They communicate through a woman named something Hicks. Her and her husband travel the US and else where and allow people to ask Abraham questions.
Abraham teaches about basic absolute laws of the universe. Many of these laws are based on your thoughts. They say thoughts are a lot more important than most people think they are. They say that your present situation is just the manifestation of prior thoughts. Thus you have created your own reality.
The first law is the law of attraction. They say that like things attrack like things. Example is in our saying "birds of a feather flock together." So when you think of something it is prepaving your future because the physical situation in front of you was attracted by the non-physical thoughts behind you.
The second law is that of delberate creation. This pretty much says that although you have gone through life up until this point creating your life unconciously, now is the the time to create it deliberately.
The next teaching is that of segment intending. We live our lives in segments. Eating brekfest, traveling to work, working, eating, exercising. Therefore we must focus on changing each segment of our life, it is not a shot gun approach. An example of proper segment intending is: prior to getting in your car, think to yourself "I intend for safe travels and a smooth flow of traffic" as opposed to "I hope I don't get in a accident, and I hope I don't get stuck in traffic."
The last teaching is that of allowing. They say we must allow things into our life. They use the word allow rather than tolerate, because tolerating means there is still part of you that is holding back. By allowing you are fully open to things entering your life.
Now some people may not be happy in their present situation. Some may think there is no way I could have created this, to this Abraham says that you did create it. By focusing on the lack of things, you attract the lack of things. To people you find themselves with no money, it is becuase they are worried about not having any money.
Good Vibrations
So why are thoughts so important? Abraham says it is becuase they vibrate. All things in this universe vibrate. When our thoughts vibrate, they attract things that vibrate at the same frequency. So its a game about changing how we vibrate.
Beliefs
In relation to the segments, we have thoughts about each segment of our life. We have thoughts about jobs, relationships, money ect. When we have similar thoughts about these things over time they become beliefs. It is our beliefs that are hardest to change, but it is possible.
Touchstones
They say whether it is a thought or a beliefe the way to change it is to use touchstones. Touchstones are memories of our happiest moments. When we want to change a thought or a beliefe we must do it with not just our thoughts but our emotions. We must FEEL. By placing our mind on those touchstones we can bring back the feeling as well as the thought and thus lift our overall being out of that bad place.
So that is pretty much the teaching. Put it all together and the bottom line is watch your thoughts. Try to think on the positive side of things rather than the negative.
I am not sure if I buy it. I think beliefes are very hard to change. What we believe defines who we are. It is the cumlimantion of everything we have learned and experienced in life up till now. Letting go of beliefs is letting go of everything. However, if you don't like your present situation then that is something you have to do.
On the flip side, what we believe gives us a reflection of our perspective. No matter where we are in life, it is only a small perception change away from ultimate joy and happiness. So it can be said that changing perception also changes thoughts, and vice versa.
So if you agree with Abraham on the notion that we need to change our thoughts, the next question is how do we do this?
They say use the touchstones. In my mind I do not see how, for example, I have the thought "I have no moeny." They say change the thought. So now I think " I have lots of moeny." However, this is not true and more importantly it does not FEEL true. I know I am just saying it, it has no meaning to me. So at this point Abraham says, think about a better feeling to get you out of this funk. For myself this seems very hard. Forcing the mind to think differently about our thoughts and beliefs. The mind has gone down that road so many times before, to force it elsewhere seems very challenging to me.
All in all, Abraham sums up this teaching with 4 simple spets.
1. Decide what you do not want in your life.
2. Decide what you want in your life.
3. Create a vibrational match of that thing, by thinking good thoughts about it.
4. Allow it into your life.
And there it is.
Abraham vs. Conversations with God
Previously I stated that CwG tells us not to want. It states do not want things. All thoughts are creative. The universe is just a big copy machine for your thoughts. Putting it all together, if you want something, the universe gives you the experience of wanting something.
Example
You say "God, I want a new car" and God says "yes, you do, you want a new car"
I took this to mean that you should never want things, since wanting things means you will never get those things. However, I am just now learning that wanting is a very important step in creating. My thoughts about this should read "You will never get those things by ONLY wanting, you must do more." Wanting is important because it is the first step in creation. If you do not want anything, you will not get anything because you will not have the drive to make it so.
Now, we can go much further into this. Abraham and CwG both say that a lot about DOING. They say you can get what you want by doing very little.
Abraham says that positive thinking is the prepaving of things to come into your life. Therefore you there is little doing involved, only living long enough to get to the point at which your thoughts have been made manifest. In other words, there is no doing, it just shows up.
Conversations talks about the Be-Do-Have Relationship. Most people live that backwards. They say if I only had the things I want, I could do that things I want to do, then I could be the thing I most want to be.
Example.
If I only had $1,000,000, then I could do the thing I want to do, in this case being, buy you a monkey (you always wanted a monkey). And finally I could be the thing I want to be , I'd be rich. Ok so if rich is not good enough, I know money is good but more importantly than that all people want to BE happy.
So to reverse this.
If we are happy, then we do the things happy people do and end up having the things happy people have.
So anyways that is what I have learned about Abraham.
