Does there have to be a natural aging process?
Does there have to be a natural aging process? Abe: Aging, yes, because you're moving through time. Declining, no -- that's a mental state. Q: Yeah. Abe: But what happens is, because most everybody you know is looking at manifestations and then coming to conclusions based on manifestations rather than looking at energy and coming to conclusions based on energy -– in other words, if you could see a declining person and you could understand the conflicts that have been going on in them all of their life, then you would understand the decline of their body. And then you would be able to make the association and you would not necessarily attach the same thing to yourself. But because you make no association between what they're thinking and feeling and what's happening to them, then you assume this is just what happens. And we want to say to you, this is not just what happens. This is just what happens when people believe that there is decline with age. Q: Mm-hm. Like, a specific example, I used to run a lot, and now when I run my left hip hurts. And I would like to be able to run, but it's just, it's uncomfortable to run. Abe: What you are saying to us is you think that your left hip began to hurt and then you noticed it and had a vibrational response to it. And what we're saying to you is you had a vibrational response to the society that believes in decline and therefore are living the self-fulfilled prophecy of what you expected. Q: Right. Abe: And so the question that really is before us is: how can I expect differently than everybody else? And we say, try to think more singularly. And try not to base your conclusions on the manifestations that you're watching. Instead, base your conclusions on the energy that you are watching. We think it would be helpful, when you see a person who has strong evidence of decline, to acknowledge what their day-to-day mental state has been like. In other words, what have they been pushing against? And sometimes people will say, "Well, that's just the fact. The fact of it is that this many people get such and such." And we say, well, what does that have to do with you? And they say, "Well, one in five has it and I might be the one." And we say, but why are you letting the way somebody else flowed energy, which created what they are living, why are you now using that as the club to beat yourself over the head. It's where we began there this morning as we said would you choose something that is true or something that feels good? Many people would choose what is true. "I'm choosing this true thought." And we say but it's only a true thought because somebody manifested it. And somebody only manifested it because they gave their attention to it. So what you're saying is, "I'm now going to give my attention to this thing I do not want because somebody because somebody else gave their attention to this thing they [did] not want and got it." And we say, we know there's reasoning in there somewhere, but it feels quite unreasonable to us. And that's why we're playing with you a little bit when we say... "Why?"... when you talk about decline. We hear Jerry and Esther say quite often -- Esther, especially, is saying it lately -- "I feel more stamina today than I did when I was a teenager." And we say, it is because she has very little resistance moving through her today, and when she was a teenager, like most teenagers, there was a tremendous amount of trying to fit in and trying to please too many people. In other words, she can tell a physical difference. Now, if you were to say, "Does she have the same physical capabilities today as she did when she was a teenager?", we would say there would be no reason for them to be less. She's hardier, she's stronger, she's surer, she's more balanced, she's more connected, she's allowing more of us to flow through her, you see. Q: So I can still have my 20-year-old body when I'm 44, or...? Abe: No, your body will still be 44 because you are moving through time. Q: Uh-huh. Abe: But what we would do if we were standing in your physical shoes is we would disassociate age with activity or age with the way that you feel because your body is a cellular mass that is monitored and created through electrical charges, and the cellular mass has the capability of regenerating itself endlessly. And each new cell has the ability to be as much, if not more, than the original cell. In other words, that's the nature of this physical structure. And so the only other factor is how the energy is being allowed to flow through. And so decline is about electrical circuitry being disallowed, not about cellular degeneration. Your doctors are beginning to discover it, they are beginning to make the factual leap between attitude and wellness, you see. And while we know you would count yourself among -- and so would we -- the more positive people on the planet. It is clear to us, we can feel it in your energy. We also know that you take life very seriously. You want to get things right. You care very much about parenting. You care very much about your work, you care very much about making the world a better place. In other words, you have issues you've picked up along your physical trail, you're taking life rather seriously, you see. We like it when you take life seriously because it's a wonderful thing to focus, but we would also like you to lighten up a little bit and relax, and have more fun in more moments and realize that all is well, because that is the only thing that is taking the toll on your body. Q: Okay. Abe: Very good. Something more? Q: I was going to ask about this whole idea of enlightenment, but I don't know if I'm really that interested. I'm more interested in.... (Laughter.) I'm having so much fun, more and more fun all the time, I could care less about enlightenment now, so.... (Further laughter.) Abe: Well, that is the most enlightened remark we have ever heard. (Laughter.) That's where it's at. We're not kidding you about that. Enlightenment means, literally, 'aligning to the energy of my Source.' And genius is only about focusing -- Law of Attraction takes care of everything else. Physical humans often want to make enlightenment about finding some process and moving through the process that has been pre-described, but true enlightenment is moving to the rhythm of the internal inspiration that is coming in response to the individual desire. Ooh, that was so good -- did you hear that? Enlightenment is allowing my connection to the Source that is me for the fulfillment of the things that I have individually defined here in my time/space reality.' That's as good as it gets, you see. -- Abe -- Boulder, CO, 6/7/03
