The Abraham Experience

I almost posted another vlog, but after a failed attempt to upload I realized that I would rather not share nearly 10 minutes of complaining to the world. Instead I will share the joy of the experience I had yesterday at the Abraham-Hicks workshop. I have been into Abraham for awhile now. It all started with Shazzie's recommendation of watching the Rampage of Invincibility on Rawkin Radio. After figuring out what was going on I soon started playing Abraham you-tubes in the background while I worked. Then also streaming the play lists over and over while I cleaned my room and worked around the house. At the beginning of the year I put seeing Esther and Jerry on my list of goals for the year. Then earlier in the month I checked their schedule and saw that they would be visiting March 28th and 29th. Perfect, this would be much easier and cheaper than booking a cruise. I cut out the details and taped them to my vision wall. Before I knew it, I had my registration confirmation in my email box. I was so beyond belief that I would actually get to experience the amazing non-physical entity knowledge that is called Abraham. I didn't care if anyone was coming with, and looked forward to meeting other Abe nerds. But with just tiny bit of inviting my mom registered just as easy. I was like a kid on Christmas Eve on Friday night, telling my mom to get to sleep so we can be in line at the Universal Hilton Ballroom and 7am. I had my bag packed, cards, crystals, new journal, favorite pen, baggy full of superfood trail mix. We ended up arriving at the Hilton around 7:30. Only a few people were lined up. Once the doors opened at 8 I ran to the second row of seats. I didn't want to be directly behind the hot seat. I loved the seats we got, perfect few of Jerry and Esther. My mom was such a trooper. While she introduced me to The Secret and was going to sign up for a Abraham Meetup, she didn't know what they were all about. So while we waited I purchased my first copy of Ask and It is Given, flipped it open to the Introduction to Abraham and had her learn the whole story of how Abraham came to Jerry and Esther. She finished in perfect timing. Jerry and Esther came out, set up a bit, Jerry did an intro. Then Ester took the stage, she stood behind the podium and said "Hello...Goodbye". Oh wow, my heart soared, I am actually here live witnessing and being a part of this and not just watching a video.

So here is the breakdown of what we learned. Mom and I took copious notes. Mom in her usual perfectionist style, organized hers by questions proposed to Abraham. I just jotted what I felt I might need to come back to. So those of you who follow Abe are familiar with "the stream". Well, that has now been replaced with "the vortex". The vortex! vortex! vortex!, it was drilled into our brains. The basic idea is that the vortex is when you are happy, when you are source energy, when everything in your life is right and it literally feels like the world revolves around you. After acknowledging that the vortex exist, we all worked together in figuring out how to get closer and back into the vortex through exploring different people's experiences and struggles. It was funny to see how the audience was primarily women, but it seemed like mostly men were in the hot seat. I figure maybe they have some purpose after all. I kid, I kid. Also, my mom had gotten sick of the relationship questions at some point. Not that there were too many, it's just that was the fist question and we spent so much time on it. We also had the pleasure of sitting next to a woman who was really caught up on her relationship issue. I really give those people respect. They sat up there and at some times got pretty harassed all so we could receive the knowledge we were all calling upon. Sometimes it seemed that the hot seat participant would come away still not getting it. But everyone else did. Maybe when your in the spotlight it takes more time for it to soak in.


So here is the main point. I hate to put 8 hours of vortexing and vibrating so simply, but this is what it always comes down to.... do what makes you happy! Use your emotional guidance, let go of resistance and flawed premises. The key is that you know what it feels like in the vortex, and you know you can always get back there. It doesn't matter how fast you get there, or how long you stay in as long as you know it's there. At the end of the day it was so relieving to have true confirmation that there is a space where all your desires do exist in harmony.

How do you get closer to the vortex? Let go of control. Especially with relationships. Once you realize that the only thing you can control is how you feel life is so much easier. Instead of blaming someone, thinking that is they were different you would feel better, focus on making yourself feel amazing. Just like Diane von Furstenburg reminded Whitney on that episode of 'The City' a few weeks ago, the most important relationship is the one between you and you. I really like this analogy also. Remember when we were kids, or think of the kids in your life. When they play, everyone always has their own rules. One kid will say " I will do this and you will do that" and the other will counter with their own set of rules. But they don't argue, they just continue playing in their own worlds, making themselves happy. You never see kids playing together just "walking in a straight line". They all play with thier own rules and get along doing it. So be more playful, get yourself in that vortex, where it feels like everything is revolving around you and everything, EVERYTHING!, will fall into place. If you over think it, it can be hard to accept. But hopefully you have the chance to feel it, and will be able to get yourself back there.

I will probably post a little more about the teaching soon, but let's wrap up the day. When we were done, my mom expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to experience what we did. I was so happy to see that she knew how blessed we were to be in that space, and she picked up on it so quickly. But I would expect nothing less from my mama. We then headed to Erewhon. We sat at the tonic bar and got to hear Truth consult some aspiring actresses. She ordered some superfood smoothie, while I got a kefir margarita. She was eager to get home to her grandson so we didn't linger too long. As we walked out, she spotted an Amma poster on a bulletin board. It had dates for Amma visits in Orange County this upcoming week. I was so happy to see that, somewhat amazed but not surprised. Information tends to come at just the right time, when I'm not even looking. That is a perfect example of being in the vortex. I had checked the Amma sites probably two days before and didn't see any info. And then there is was, instead of the LA info I was looking for, there was something sooner, smaller and closer to me. I keep pinching myself, not believing all that happened yesterday. But it did, and it was all beautiful. I am so grateful for it all. More posting soon, expansion on my notes, my experience using the knowledge while faced with a challenge and whatever happens between then and now.

Till then,
