Jerry: So, most of what you might call my careers through the years almost never began as a means to earn money. They’ve mostly been things that I enjoyed doing, which ended up earning money.
Abraham: Well, that truly is the secret to the success that you have enjoyed for so many years. Because you determined early on that feeling good was what mattered most to you, you managed to find a variety of interesting ways to maintain that intention, not realizing at the time that the secret to all success is keeping yourself happy.

Jerry: Another dear friend of ours recently built a room onto her house so that her mother-in-law, whose health had really worsened, could come to live with her. Her mother-in-law spoke almost constantly about how bad she felt, how bad her health was, how unhappy she was with life, and about this surgery and that surgery.
Then our friend's mother, who was 85 years old, came out to visit for the holidays. She had never been in a hospital in her life before, but within a week of staying in that house with this other lady-who was continually speaking of illness- her own health plummeted dramatically. She was hospitalized and then was placed in a nursing home. Could someone’s health fail so dramatically as a result of only a few days of negative influence?
Abraham: The potential for illness or wellness lies within all of you at all times. And whatever you give your attention to begins to foster within you the manifestation of the essence of that thought. Thought is very powerful.

Jerry: In my earlier years, there were major diseases (tuberculosis and polio) that we hear very little of anymore. But, we’re not short of diseases, because now we have heart disease and cancer, which we almost never heard of back then. In those days syphilis and gonorrhea were constantly in the news. We don't hear much of those, but now AIDS and herpes stay foremost in the news. Why do there always seem to be more diseases cropping up? As cures are being discovered, why don’t we finally run out of diseases to cure?
Abraham: Because of your attention to lack. Feelings of powerlessness and vulnerability all produce more to feel powerless and vulnerable about. You cannot focus upon the conquering of disease without giving your attention to disease. But it is also very important to understand that looking for cures for disease, even when you find them , is a shortsighted and , in the long run, ineffective process because, as you have pointed out , new disease are continually being created. When you begin to look for and understand the vibrational causes for diseases rather than looking for cures, then you will come to the end of the pile of diseases. When you are able to deliberately accomplish the emotion of ease and its accompanying vibrational alignment, it is possible to live disease free.
Most people spend very little time basking in appreciation for the wellness they are currently experiencing, but instead they wait until they are sick and then they turn their attention to recovery. Good-feeling thoughts produce and sustain physical well-being. You live in very busy times, and you find many things to fuss and worry about; and in doing so, you hold yourself out of alignment- and disease is the result. And then you focus upon the disease and perpetuate more disease. But you can break the cycle at any time. You do not have to wait your society to understand in order to achieve wonderful physical wellness yourself. Your nature state is one of wellness.

Abraham: Here is a process that can quickly help you shift the balance of your thoughts regarding money to a place where you can begin to let more money flow easily into your experience: Put $100 in your pocket and keep it with you at all times, As you move through your day, deliberately notice how many things you could exchange this money for: “I could purchase that. I could do that.”
Someone replied to us that $100 really does not buy that much in today’s economy, but we explained that if you mentally spend that $100 one thousand times today, you have vibrationally spend $100,000. That sort of positive focus will dramatically change your vibrational balance about money. This vibrational spending process will cause you to feel differently about money; and when that happens, your point of attration will shift- and more money must flow into your experience. It is Law.
Someone said to us,” Abraham, I didn’t have the $100, but I put an IOU in my pocket.” And we said, that is defeating the process, because you are walking around with a feeling of debt in your pocket, which is exactly the opposite of what you want to do. You want to feel your prosperity. And so, even if it is only $20 or $50, or if it is $1,000 or $10,000, that you have in your pocket, utilize it effectively to help you notice how good things are- now Because in your acknowledgement of your prosperous now- your prosperity must become more.

Esther’s experience at the gate was dramatically enhanced by her vibrational alignment with her Source and therefore with absolute Well-Being. But it is also possible for you to experience the opposite of that enhanced experience if you are out of alignment with Source and Well-Being. In other words, sickness or illness, or lack of Well-Being, occurs when vibrationally disallow your alignment with Well-Being.
Whenever you experienced negative emotion (fear, doubt,frustration, loneliness, and so on), that feeling of negative emotion was the result of your thinking a thought that did not vibrate at a frequency that was in harmony with your Inner Being. Through all of your life experiences- physical and Non-Physical- your Inner Being, or the Total You, has evolved to a place of knowing. And so, whenever you are consciously focused upon a thought that does harmonize with that which your Inner Being has come to know- the resultant feeling within you will be one of negative emotion.
If you were to sit on your foot and cut off the circulation of the flow of blood, or if you were to put a tourniquet around your neck and restrict the flow of oxygen, you would feel immediate evidence of the restriction. And, in like manner, when you think thoughts are not in harmony with thoughts of your Inner Being, the flow of Life Force, or Energy, that comes into your physical body is stifled or restricted- and the result of that restriction is that your feel negative emotion. When you allow that negative emotion to continue over a long period of time, you often experience deterioration of your physical body.
