Feelings
Feel the Joy Of Your Unfulfilled Desires

Excerpted from Abraham-Hicks Workshop Tape: G-6/6/99
You don't stop very often to think about how you are feeling.
And yet, how you are feeling is everything. How you are feeling
is your point of attraction. How you are feeling is your asking
from the Universe. How you are feeling is everything that is
coming to you!

**************************************
How You Are Feeling is Your Point of Attraction
**************************************

Most of you have not discovered that the Universe is
conspiring to assist you. And so you work hard from
an attitude of unworthiness, from a feeling that you are
not enough, from a feeling that you have to justify. And
what we want you to begin to do is recognize that the
Universe is responding to the way you feel. So think
about the way you feel.

Don't think so much about what you're thinking or about
what you have or about how you compare with your
actions or your possessions to others. Instead, think
about how you feel. Ask yourself, "Am I sitting here in a
feeling of well-being? Do I feel intimidated? Do I feel self-
conscious? Do I feel inadequate? Do I feel unworthy?
Or do I feel pretty good? Do I feel cocky? Do I feel full of
myself? Do I feel in love with life? Do I feel exhilarated?
Am I feeling fun? Am I feeling some passion?" How
you're feeling is what your point of attraction is.

*******************
Your Point of Attraction
*******************

If you're feeling unworthy, you can work day and night,
night and day, every day, and yet not allow the very things
that you want to flow, because your vibration is not allowing
it, and the Universe cannot buck your current. How you're
feeling is everything. So if we were standing in your physical
shoes, we would let the contrast naturally produce the desire,
for it will. And when we feel a desire within us, we would look
at it, we would recognize the weirdness of it, we would
recognize how unfamiliar it feels, and then we would do what
is our work: "I will do the work that I have been born to do: My
work is to take that new desire and play with it in my mind's
eye, until it feels familiar, until it feels like the manifestation
of it is the next logical step."

*****************
The goal must exist to summon the Energy, but the goal
can't matter that much -- or it stops the Energy.
*****************

Let us bring this to a place that if you get this, you will
have quantum leaped into a new place of deliberate attraction:
Most everybody stands here, dissatisfied to some degree,
longing to be over there. But the whole point of that point of
attention to over there is not to get over there. The whole
point of the goal or the desire is that the desire summons
Life Force through you. That's why you're always wanting
another goal, another goal, another goal. That's why we say
you will never get it done. So, "Why do I want that?" It's an
interesting thing, isn't it? The goal must exist to summon the
Energy, but the goal can't matter that much, or it stops the
Energy.

**************************************
You're wanting the goal for the sake of the Energy that will
flow throughyou, not for the sake of the manifestation.
**************************************

A woman, one day, said, "Abraham, I don't think you care if
my lover ever comes to me. I think you want me to envision
him so clearly that in my mind's eye, he is real -- so real, that
it doesn't matter that he's not really there." And we said, that's
exactly right. We know when she feels him in that way, the
pain will be gone from her, and the Life Force will flow through
her, and all of her goals will be achieved. And we also know,
then he must come. But it is not about him coming. It is about
him being a goal that is reason for her to focus, that causes
Life Force to flow through her. It is about the Life Force flowing
through her.

We are delighted that you have unfulfilled goals, because as
long as you have desire, Life Force is still flowing through you.
From our Nonphysical perspective, we see the unfulfilled goal
as the constant summoning of life. You say, "We want fulfilled
goals!" And we say, Your goals will all be fulfilled when you get
over being so unhappy that they're not fulfilled -- when you start
being satisfied in the unfulfillment!

*****************
The Cycle of Creation
*****************

"Here I am. Here is this contrast that gives birth to a new desire.
The new desire feels weird in the beginning, because this is
where I'm used to vibrating. So I look at it; I talk about it; I visualize
it; I play with it; I imagine it until it becomes familiar -- and now it
is the vibration that is me. And now we are one.

"Now I have a new platform from which to examine contrast, which
gives birth to another desire, which is weird in the beginning. I'm a
'failure' again; I haven't succeeded. But I look at it; I visualize it; I
find the feeling place of it; it gets familiar; I imagine it; and it becomes
the next logical step. It manifests, and now here I am again..." You
never stop that cycle so long as you all shall live -- which is forever.

You said, "I will go forth into this physical time/space reality,
because this is the best environment that I know of that will keep
producing new desire within me. And nothing in all of the Universe
is more delicious than to have new desire within me!"

**************************************
Celebrate the desire that is within you and stop cursing the
fact that it isn't yet fulfilled.
**************************************

Celebrate the desire that is within you, and stop cursing the
fact that it isn't fulfilled! It is the desire that is within you that
is worth everything -- it is life itself! You keep thinking that it
must be manifested before you can feel good, and that is
backwards. The fact that it exists is the reason for the Life
Force. There isn't anything that you want or have ever wanted,
or anybody has ever wanted or ever will want that is for any
other reason than this: You want it because you think, in the
having of it, you will feel better. And we are here to say to you,
you want it because in the wanting of it, Life Force is
summoned through you -- and you are more alive. You are in
the flow.

Being In The Flow is having goals that cause Energy to flow
through you. It is being in such a place of expectation and
acceptance of your eternal motion forward, that you are eternally
in the flow. So people say, "How are you doing?" And you say,
"Great!" And they say, "Well, is there anything not going well
with you?" And you say, "Everything always goes well with me!"
And they say, "Oh, but I see there are all these things incomplete
in your experience." And you say, "Yeah, isn't it great? That
means I'm still alive. I still have wanting, I'm still summoning life.
That means I still have the future ahead of me. That means Life
Force is still flowing."

Have you ever found yourself eating an ice cream cone and
wanting to make it last? Do you find yourself ever in a sexual
interlude or in a delicious book, wanting it to last? You can tell
you're getting to the end of it, and you don't want it to be over?
You know that feeling of savoring? That's the way we're wanting
you to be with your goals. And that may be why you're not so
eager to get on with the completion of everything. You're
recognizing that you have all of this life before you -- so much
wonderful stuff to do -- never getting it done.

Where you now are is the perfect place to be, the perfect place
to move from, the perfect place from which to attract. Nothing is
inappropriate with where you are. There's not one reason in this
world for you to feel anything but proud about where you are and
eager about what it will produce for you.

All things are possible. Oh, you can't even begin to get your thoughts
around what is before you! But you see, none of you are ever asked (and
it's a wonderful thing) to stand here and plan everything forevermore.
Just stand where you are and let the natural desire that is born out of that
come into alignment with you. That's your work: Contrast produces it.
You feel it, recognize it, and then line up your Energy with it.

You are born into an environment that will produce the goals. Your work
is then to choose from those goals, focus, as the creator that you are,
and in your focusing, allow the Energy to flow to the completion of those
goals. There are endless possibilities.

So many of you spend your lifetimes arguing about what is an appropriate
goal. We're not kidding when we say you cannot get it wrong. There are
no actions that are deemed inappropriate as such. Sometimes people say,
"Well Abraham, you scare us, because as you talk about absolute freedom, we
are afraid that you might give people permission to do bad things to other
people." Whether we give them permission or not, everybody's gonna do
what they're gonna do, and you can't get enough laws into place to keep that
from happening. But we promise you, no one would ever do anything bad
to any other at the same time they were connected to Source Energy. You
never connect to Source Energy and lash out against anyone else.

As you are pushing against wrongdoers, even though they might be really
doing wrong, your pushing against them disconnects you from any real
power. You think the strongest one wins. But your pushing against them is
disempowering you, and their pushing against you is disempowering them.
So if your opponent wins, it is actually because you pushed against
hardest. When you are pushing against someone -- you are weakening
yourself. "My adversary won because I did a better job of disallowing my
well-being. I pushed harder against him." We're just wanting to get a little
twist on this, so that you can give up all that pushing against, because it
never helps.

There has been co-creating here that has taken this thought beyond that
which it has been before. Once you have an opportunity to review this,
you will realize that together, we have achieved a sort of quantum leap in
understanding.
