Abraham-Hicks for Dummies (2) - God

[Reefs]

PART ONE

Someone said to us one day, "Abraham, in listening to you I am disappointed that I do not hear you speak of God." And we said, we do not talk of anything else. We do not call it God because you all have very much preconceived notions of what that is... The reason that Esther's books are not entitled Conversations with God is because it is a very strong thing that sets many people off. In other words, they don't think God would sound like that if you were talking to God, and yet, there are obviously hundreds of thousands and millions of people around the planet that have been wanting very much to talk with God.

Instead of God or Divine, we use the terminology Energy, Pure Positive Nonphysical Energy. Energy is not the best terminology, but it is the best received terminology. It is something that scientists are understanding. They are beginning to acknowledge that there is Energy in everything. They are breaking down your smallest molecules and discovering that there is Energy within them... There is a Stream of Pure Positive Energy that some call God Force, some call it Life Force, some call it Creative Energy... It really does not matter what you call it, it is the Energy from which you come. It is your Source Energy. It is your Soul Energy. It is who-you-are. And as this Energy flows forth to you, it is the Energy that created all that you know. It is the Energy that sustains all that you know.

Man has portrayed God in many different ways. Man cannot perceive anything other than through his own vibration. That's why you are all in such disagreement about who or what God is. And so, it's not easy for you to form an image in your mind of what God is. There are lots of different interpretations. Most of you don't have much of a picture of what that is, what that Nonphysical Source Energy all knowing, loving, continually offering Energy is.
What's Nonphysical is a less manifested version of life. And none of us are living the less manifested version. Sometimes we think you have it backwards. You think, "Oh here I am, mortal and not as good. And here's God, Nonphysical, and better." And we say, that which you are calling God is flowing through you into this extended life experience. The heaven that you're hoping for is here in the moment of your joy. And the hell you fear is here in the absence of your joy. That's it. We're all right here in the leading edge with you, and you're either letting us flow fully through you, or you're not. But it's your free will to choose a vibration that lets it flow, or doesn't, you see.

You are an extension of that Source Energy. And so, if you are an extension of Source Energy, then you are God embodied. Physical humans think that God is all finished and now you, whoever you might be, are now here to figure out what God really wanted you to do and do it, so then God will approve of you or like you. And we say you are extensions of that which God is, which means you are that which God is in this leading edge experience. So you bring all that God is into this environment of variety in order to examine the contrast in order to expand the Universe. And you do it in this environment of utter Well-Being, which you, as any consciousness in any moment, can allow or not allow.

A-H

You hear us use words other than God, the reason that we do that is because you hold, in the vibration of God, things that we do not hold. The biggest misconception that man holds about what he calls God, is that God is complete and finished. When in fact, that which man calls God is eternally expanding. The next thing that is the large misconception that man believes about God, is that God has already decided everything that is to be decided, and then everybody else is just supposed to figure out what that is and try to conform to it. The biggest misconception is that God is the Creator, and everybody else is just part of the ant farm. God is the Creator, God holds all the power, all of the glory is God's. When the reality of it is, is that you, and we, and all are extensions of that Source Energy. All-That-Is, is that. Whether you say all this world, or all this Universe, or All-That-Is, is that. Well then, that would have to mean that even pestilence is God. Or evil is God. If all is. And we say, that God Force or that Energy Stream, is a Stream of Pure Positive Energy. It is everything that you could describe in any way as Well-Being. And any perceiver at any point in this Universe, whether it is the one-celled amoeba, or the clam, or the human, no matter what it is, whatever level of Consciousness that is, is an extension of that Nonphysical Energy. And has access to the Stream of Nonphysical Energy that comes forth from that Source.

If someone were to say to us in earnest - really wanting to know - how God ties in with evolution, we would say, God is the perfect example, the epitome, of evolving. And that's the thing that confuses most people because physical Beings think God is done. They think that God has reached perfection and that they're still on their way to reaching perfection. And they don't realize that what they're saying in that is, "God's dead and I'm on my way to that, too.” In other words, if there were not motion forward then it would be done, and that is the ending that man fears that will never be.

From your Nonphysical Perspective you are whole but never complete. Because everything is continually evolving. We are all becoming more. Physical Beings so often think that that which is Nonphysical, or that which they call God, is complete and perfect and that the physical Beings are working hard to try to catch up to that. And it is not that way at all. It is that the Nonphysical Energy that is you is continuing to evolve and it is through a time-space-reality like this one that much of that evolution takes place.

If God were really complete and perfect as physical humans often believe that he is, then he would not express himself forth into another physical dimension through each of you. The reason that you continue to come forth is because there is no ending to our eternal expansion. And those of you who are physical are literally the leading edge of thought. You keep thinking that God knows all the answers, and he sent you here to figure it out. This is an expanding thing, that which you call God does not have all the answers, because the questions have not all been asked. There cannot yet be answers to questions that have not been asked.

PART TWO

That vengeful punishing God does not and never had existed. Does not now and never has. It is man's delusion and man's attempt to control man...So what you were listening to in all those interpretations of God, were the disconnected minds of man who were trying to manipulate other men for reasons of their own...There are so many people in this world today that are using the rhetoric of being in alignment with God, who are nowhere near the vibrational vicinity of the Energy of Source. And in their despair, they are acting out in ways of trying to level the playing field, or trying to regain their power. Religion has almost completely become fear-based. God is the opposite of fear-based. God is the anti of fear. God is the presence of Well-Being, and there is only a Source of Well-Being.

“The fear of God?” How do those two words end up in the same sentence. This God that is only Pure Positive Energy. This Energy that is without resistance, how could such an awful label be given to that Energy? It is no wonder man is confused and doesn't know what to do. When you say, "How does God allow bad things to happen," we say God doesn't allow bad things to happen, God just allows.

Any perceiver, as you stand in your now, is perceiving whatever you are perceiving through the mood or attitude that you hold right now. And so, all of those negative messages about God, about the wrath of God, and the anger of God, and all of the rules that God is laying down, all of that has been perceived by man in his state if disconnection from that which is God. In other words, if you are standing in a place where there is not food, and you are very, very, very hungry, it would be hard for any of you in that powerful perception to speak of the abundance of food. And in the same way, when someone stands in the absence, or in the famine of Life Force and Pure Positive Energy, it is hard for him to see God as God really is.

As physical folks, you have come to this place where you don't understand what's happening in your life experience, because you have not been trained to pay attention to the way you feel. You've been trained to disregard the way you feel, to keep a stiff upper lip. "Life isn't supposed to be fun." And that through your struggle and hard work you justify your existence. So what happens is, you look out into the environment and you see things not wanted, and you shout no at them, never realizing that every time you shout no at them, you activate them, and you hold it into your experience. And so, then, over time, as you feel no control in your experience, then you start trying to explain why you've got no control in your experience. And you assign it to someone else. So you give God all of the credit for what's happening or not happening. That's why God is such a schizophrenic in man's eyes. God punishes, and God rewards, and God blesses, and God damns, and God curses. You've created this image of God as your puny excuse to explain why your life today is not going better. And we say, the only reason your life today is not going better is because you don't have control of your own vibrations. You're flowing vibrations all over the place. You're observing stuff you don't want. You're observing stuff you want. And you're looking all over the place, activating it all over the place - you're like a cork on a raging sea. And you say, "I don’t have any control of my life. Somebody else must have control of my life. And the fact that my life sucks, or the fact that my life is going well, must be that somebody else had a plan for me. And I can't do anything about it. I'll just live my life." And we say, you've come here to be creators. You are creators. That's why you're here. Let the God that is within you shine through you. But you have to feel the shining out. In other words, you cannot allow it to come while you're grumbling about what-is.

So what evil is, is someone, in some moment, holding a vibration that separates them, or disallows, or restricts that Energy. It's like creating a sort of shadow. Man has concluded that there are actually two sources. There is the Source of Well-Being and the source of not Well-Being. There is this Source which we are calling God, which any perceiver, no matter how you deem them to be in terms of intelligence, can allow or resist in any moment. Man basically believes that God is testing him. That God sees man as unworthy, and is putting man in the place that he can prove worthiness. Nothing could be further from the truth of it. That which you call God knows powerfully your worthiness and your ability. It's why you are here. This is man’s misinterpretation… This is how man feels about self that he has overlaid.

A-H

God is Consciousness, Consciousness is God, the Consciousness that is God is also in physical form. The Nonphysical part of you is Consciousness; the physical part of you is Consciousness. When the physical part of you that is Consciousness is in vibrational alignment with the Nonphysical part of you that is Consciousness, now you are allowing God, as you, to perceive in physical form.

As a Being who comes forth from that which is God, you cannot separate yourself from that which is God. You are extensions of this powerful Source Energy. You are literally God expressing in this physical body. Most of you think that your connection with God must be about important things. And we say, what's more important than your joyful expression of physical life experience?... What God's will is, is that you live happily ever after. What God's will is, is that you find a way through your own process of connecting with the Stream of Energy, and allow it to flow through your vessel. And the objects that you choose to which you would like the Energy to flow are simply your choice... There is a saying, "God takes care of babies, fools and drunks..." And the saying has tremendous merit, because what it is saying is, those with least resistance receive Well-Being.

This Energy that you call God is a fluid moving Stream of Energy and it flows forth into all things. And at any point in time, as an individual, you can tap into whatever part of that that you have learned to be a Vibrational Match to. The chair taps into that Energy at a different level than the squirrel. And the squirrel taps into that Energy at a different level than you do. Man is an extension of that God Energy. And as physical Beings, you actually have the ability to achieve vibrational harmony with all that really is God. And you have done that in meditation. You know that feeling that you sometimes achieve where you feel that you have all-knowing, and it's an expansive feeling of Well-Being, and you know that all is well but then you have a very difficult time articulating it back into anything that is meaningful? It's because it's too much. It's too big for where you are focused at this time. If all that was God was trying to express through one Being, talk about short-circuiting. That’s why you are wanting to find that balance. You are wanting to allow as much of that Energy that you call God to flow through you as you can vibrationally allow... In one short day you can show yourself easily which thoughts you think are in harmony with that which you call God, and which aren't. And what you will discover with very little time applied to it is that when you are basking, or appreciating yourself or any other, you are full of that which some call God. And when you’re criticizing, or blaming, or finding fault, that Energy is nowhere within you.
