A while ago, I promised someone a thread with some of the older, lesser known Abe quotes. So here we go...
----------
Action is overrated
Abe: As you were ready to emerge [from the non-physical] you never saw action as the means toward the end. You saw it as the way of enjoying the creation that you created thru thought. Physical beings have it all backwards. You think that it is thru your action that you make things happen. And now you are coming to understand that it is thru the state of being that you make things happen. And from that state of being you are inspired to action. And the action enhances the state of being.
You have been physically oriented beings giving all the credit [in this business of creation] to the action part of your life for so long. But the action part of your life is minuscule in the way it brings unto you. It is the way that you feel that is making all the difference. Action can enhance the way you feel, or the way you feel can lead to the action, but the only real thing of importance is your state of being. And everything else is toward that end, all of the furniture, all of the relationships, all of the animals, all of the food – everything that you see on this physical sphere is toward one end, and that is to enhance your state of being.

Relationships (1)
The others with whom you share your planet are of tremendous value to you even when you want different things; and your Earth environment is large enough to accommodate all of the variety of interests, beliefs, and desires. Your differences are of great advantage in the stimulation of new ideas, and are important to your expansion. You came here eagerly anticipating the expansion that would be born from your interaction with others. When you understand the value of differing opinions, you will reap immediate value from every relationship; and since you cannot make others change to please you, appreciating them where they are will give you ease.

Relationships (2)
The more perspectives that enter the mix, the greater potential for wonderful creations. Even when you feel strong opposition to the opinions or perspectives of others, your interaction with them provides the basis for expansion and solutions and answers that you would not have access to without their seemingly problematic positions. We encourage you to make peace with everyone who op- poses you and with everyone whom you oppose, not only because you cannot insist on their yielding to your perspective but because their opposing perspective is of tremendous benefit to you.
You see, because of your exposure to what you perceive as their wrong or bad or unwanted behavior or perspective — you have given birth to an improved situation. And just as they helped the problem side of the equation to come into focus they helped the solution side of the equation to come into focus, also, and that solution waits for you in your Vortex of Creation.
When you make peace with those who differ in desire and belief and behavior from your ideas of what is appropriate, you do not perpetuate what you consider to be wrong. Instead, you align with the solution side of the equation that has been waiting for you in your Vortex of Creation.

Sometimes it seems like others have the power to negatively affect your experience, but that is never true: only your response to them has the power to pinch you off from the naturally good-feeling person you are.
Neither the good feeling you find when you observe wanted behavior, or the bad feeling you find when you observe unwanted behavior, is actually the reason that you feel good or bad. The way you feel is only ever about your alignment, or misalignment, with the Source within you.
Your understanding of why you feel good will make it possible for you to feel good regardless of the behavior of others and that gives you complete empowerment and absolute freedom.

Amazing and inspiring.
It’s the Quantum model of reality versus the Newtonian model.
Alignment and then.. 👏🏼👏🏼

Amazing and inspiring. It’s the Quantum model of reality versus the Newtonian model. Alignment and then.. 👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks for posting Reefs. Good point. In a sense, what Abe teach transcends causality. On the action level it's 'do A in order to get to B'. But as we've seen, they want us to move beyond the action level (thinking is action too, btw). And beyond that level, it's more like 'with A you always also get B'. I'm glad you like it.  |

Relationships (4)
When others lash out at you in anger, with words or action, their battle is not with you but with themselves; and if you do not take their behavior personally— understanding it is their personal battle— in time they’ll leave you out of it.
Sometimes you think it is important what others think of you, and so you work to extract approval from them. However, there really is little that you can do to keep their approval coming—for it is never about you, but about them.
If you will release all concern about how others feel about you, and focus only upon how you feel about them, you will unearth your core understanding of who-you-really-are, and you will discover what true freedom really is.
The current opinion that another holds regarding you has far more to do with how they are feeling (whether they are in alignment with their own Source, and whether they are in or out of their Vortex at the time) than it has to do with you or your behavior.
There is perhaps no greater waste of time and effort than that of trying to influence the way other people see you, because what they see has very little to do with their object of attention and everything to do with the vantage point from which they are looking. How others feel about you is really about their relationship with their own Vortex.

Opening the Passageway to Inner Being
ABRAHAM: Ask to speak to those who come forth from where your Inner Being is. That is always best. Ask to speak with those of your "Family", you see.
QUESTION: Is there some control that I need to learn, to release?
ABRAHAM: It is a matter of quieting your mind and stating your intent clearly, and as you are receiving it, you will get better and better at it.
...
QUESTION: Should I speak out when there is no one else to hear it. When I am just meditating by myself?
ABRAHAM: Oh, indeed. The more the better. The more you are receiving, the more you will trust.
QUESTION: Should I speak my questions out loud?
ABRAHAM: Indeed. For the benefit of those who are wanting it, let us talk about the process for the opening of this passageway. Do not worry, if you are not wanting it, you will not get it. It is not something that will be thrust upon you if it is not something that you are wanting.
Now, as with all creation, want it and allow it and it is. Want it and allow it and it is. And so, as you are wanting the opening of the passageway, you have done most of it.
The allowing is what we are offering the process of meditation for. When we use the label, "meditation," what we are meaning is this: Setting a time aside in your physical world that you may quiet the physical so you may sense the inner. And the process is one of just sitting quietly and being.
Now you say, "We are always being. How can we not be?" Well, when we say "be," we mean, don't try to make anything else happen. Sit quietly, and don't think of anything. Well, as soon as we say, "Don't think of anything," you think of not thinking of anything. But what you must do is quiet your mind and a good way is to focus upon something that does not require much conscious thought.
Something such as your breathing. As you will allow the air to go out and come in, and as you will be aware of it, and as you will let your thoughts drift toward that, very soon, perhaps even in the first sitting, you will find yourself with a sort of tingling sensation. You will find yourself, perhaps, even numb. As you are feeling that sensation of numbing, know that it is a signal to you, from your Inner Being, that you have achieved the quieting of the physical so that you may now sense the inner. As you are upon that plateau of numbness, as you think a thought, it will go away, as you release the thought and quiet your mind, it (the numbness) will come back, and as you are able to move up and down upon this, soon you will get very good at being at that place, and once you are consistently achieving that, you are in the state of allowing.
Now, as you are in the state of allowing, your work is done. Your Inner Being will do the rest.
And as you are feeling some tingling here and a sensation there, those sensations are an indication to you that your Inner Being is working upon the opening of your passageway, or aligning your Energies. And when you receive movement, you are open.
Now, once you are open, it is not necessary that you sit in a state of meditation to receive. Once you are open, you may receive, any time you are wanting, by setting forth the intent, "I intend to receive," you see?
The meditation is a process for opening the passageway. Beyond that, we are not seeing it as important, unless you are using it for other things.

Racial Discrimination
ABRAHAM: Esther was watching the television before you came. The subject was racial discrimination. And new understanding came to Esther.
Racial discrimination is created by the being who feels abused. By the being who believes that he is being treated unfairly. And that belief, that expectation, attracts it out of beings who otherwise would never be racialists. Most beings have never given it a thought, for it is not something that they have interacted with at all.
But because there is this belief that "Because I am a certain color I am mistreated," then as I walk the streets, I solicit that from every being with whom I interact. But I do not know that I am doing it through my thought, you see, and so I blame you. I blame you because you look at me strangely, and I think you don't like me because I am not the color that you are, you see. And it has nothing to do with you. I have solicited it from you, through my thought. Do you see? Are you understanding this? Are you understanding that in every relationship you have, whenever you are having unpleasant experiences, you are attracting the unpleasant experience because that is where you are giving your attention.

When you are able to allow, even when the other is not allowing you, you will have absolute freedom
They are not doing it! You are doing it!
ABRAHAM: What you are most wanting to understand in this life experience is this: It is the greatest intention that you have, and we speak it forcefully: You are wanting to be ALLOWERS. And you will know when you have achieved that when you are willing to allow another even when the other does not allow you. When you are able to allow, even when the other is not allowing you, you will have absolute freedom.
You see, the only thing that binds you is negativity. Without it you are free, joyously. And so, as you look at another and see only that which brings forth joy, you are free. As you look at another and see that which brings forth negativity, you are bound by your own decision of what you are soliciting.
We are wanting you to release the responsibility from all those you are blaming for all of the things they are doing wrong and for all of the ways they are messing up your life. They are not doing it! You are doing it!
COMMENT: That is deep stuff. (Group laughter)
ABRAHAM: It is the deepest of the stuff. (Group laughter) And it is the most meaningful words that you will hear as you are moving forward, for you are interacting with others, and it applies not only to the others, my friends. It applies to your own being.
You solicit from your very own being that which you do not want to be. As you look at yourself and you see that which is wrong, you see that which is not in harmony with your greater wanting and as you do that, you create more.
See in yourselves that which you are wanting, and that is what you will draw forth. Do you see? Indeed you do. That is very good. Did you write it down? (To Jerry)
JERRY: I put, "Transcribe this. This is deep stuff." (Group laughter.)

Want (intend) it, and allow it, and it is
-- you attract them and push them
ABRAHAM: In the moment that you are excited about it, you are. In the moment that you are worried about it and thinking you cannot afford it, you are pushing it away. And that is the way most of your creations are. They are floating around in limbo out here somewhere. Created, just not coming into your experience, because you attract them and push them, attract them and push, attract them and push them.
The key is to monitor the way that you feel, and whenever you feel negative emotion, stop doing whatever you're doing. Stop thinking, speaking or acting) stop doing whatever it is that has brought forth that negative emotion.
Now that doesn't mean you have to fix the thought. That doesn't mean you have to convince yourself you can afford it. It means you have to stop thinking that you can't afford it, by thinking of something else.
COMMENT: Distraction.
ABRAHAM: Distraction. Now hear this: Let us begin again for the benefit of those who have not heard. We will speak very quickly this process...Want it and allow it and it is. Make a statement "I intend." Intend is more powerful than want, for intend includes the expectation and the wanting. "I intend," and whatever it is, "for these reasons." Write the reasons that came from you. Not the reasons that someone wants you to want it. Write the reasons that you want it. There is power in your wanting. There is no power in someone else's wanting for you. Until you are wanting it, it is not powerful for you. On the other side of your paper write all of the reasons that you know it will be. That will enhance the belief, or the allowing, part of the equation. Consider it done. Fold your paper and put it in your pocket, and say, "That was easy. What is next?" If you will not think about it in negative terms again, it will be yours. And if you will think about it in positive terms very often, it will be yours very quickly.
Now, you are moving through your day. As long as you are feeling only positive emotion, or only no emotion, it is on its way to you, but in the moment you are feeling negative emotion about that subject, you are pushing it away.
Now, if you will say, "I am feeling negative emotion; what do I want?" regarding any subject, distracting yourself in any way, so that you stop that miscreating, that is very good. You will stop the miscreating.

Decide what you want, then before you have said it ten times ...
Decide what you want as it regards your physical apparatus, and the way you feel. You feel bad? All you have to say is, "I want to feel good, I want to feel good, I want to feel good, I want to feel good, I want to feel good." And before you have said it ten times, you'll be feeling good. "I want to be inspired. I want to work. I want to put it upon the paper. I want to inspire the world. I want to do this. I want. I want. I want." Make your statements.
Make your statements of what you want, and utilize the Power of the Universe to have what you want. And any time you do the opposite, your Inner Being will give you a little nudge. And if you keep doing it, it will give you a little bigger nudge. And if you keep doing it, it will give you a little bigger nudge. Not because it is beating up on you. But because that is your bargain. Your Inner Being said, "Any time your thoughts are out of harmony with one another, we will give you a nudge to let you know which is the one thought that is the most out of order so that you can alter it.

Relationships (5)
At your core, you are more alike than different, for you share a common thread of Source and love and expansion. And so, if you feel threatened by another, that threat is not real, for only you can stop the flow of your natural Well-Being.
None of you take it well when you are out of alignment with your Source. The feeling of emptiness that you experience when you are disallowing your connection to your power and Energy and clarity is extremely unpleasant. And often— when you or others are in that state of resistance— you display your disconnection by taking it out on others.
Everyone wants to feel good, to be of value, to be engaged with life, to feel progress, to learn new things, and to feel love. But many people are looking for love in all the wrong places. When you witness unpleasant behavior in another, it is not so different from seeing someone with a pillow being pressed to their face depriving them of the air they need to breathe. The unpleasant behavior is equivalent to them flailing about, desperate for life-giving air.
So just remember, when anyone is behaving aggressively or rudely toward you, they are simply desperate for the alignment of their Vortex. It really isn’t about you. It is not their threat or their seeming power or strength or position that is jeopardizing your life or your happiness. It is only your attention to something that prevents your Vibrational alignment with Source that can diminish your Well-Being—and you have complete control over that.
