Good morning. We are extremely pleased that you are here. It is good to come together for the purpose of co-creating, do you agree? You are knowing what you are wanting? Really? Well, we believe that you believe that you do, to some extent. In other words, knowing what you don’t want helps you to know what you do want, doesn’t it?
Abraham: When you have been on a particular train of thought for a while, it is not easy to abruptly（突然地） change the direction of your thought, because the Law of Attraction is supplying you with thoughts that match your current train of thought. Sometimes while you are in that negative-feeling mode, another who is not in that negative place will not agree with your negative view of your current subject, which only serves to make you want to defend your position all the more. Trying to defend or justify your opinion only causes you to stay in your resistant(抵抗的) state longer. And the reason so many people hold themselves in resistance(抵抗) unnecessarily is because it is more important to them to be "right" rather than to feel good.
When you meet those who are determined to convince you that are right, and they try to hold you in a negative conversation in an attempt to convince you, sometimes you are considered "uncaring(不注意的)" or "coldhearted(冷淡的)" if you do not hear them and eventually agree with their point of view. But when you forfeit(喪失) your good feeling (that comes when you choose thoughts that harmonize with your Broader Perspective(透視的) ) to try to please a negative friend who wants to use you as a sounding board, you are paying a very big price for something that will not help him or her either. That uncomfortable knot in your stomach is your Inner Being saying, This behavior, this conversation, isn't in harmony with what you want. You must be willing to please yourself first or you will often be swept up by the negativity that surrounds you.
Jerry: Norman Cousins was an author who contracted a disease that was considered to be incurable(無法治癒的). (I don't think anyone had ever recovered from it.) But he survived it, and he said he was able to do so by watching a series of humorous television programs. I understand that he just watched these programs--and laughed-- and the disease went away. What would you say was behind his recovery?
Abraham: His recovery was accomplished because he achieved vibrational alignment(對準;一直線) with Well-Being. There are two primary factors involved in his finding vibrational alignment: First, his desire for wellness was dramatically enhanced by his illness; and second, the programs he watched distracted him from the illness--the pleasure that he felt as he laughed at the humor of the programs was his indication that his allowance of Well-Being had ceased. Those are the two factors required in the creation of anything: Want it and allow it.
Jerry: Many people are hoping for some major financial windfall(意外的收穫) to come to them to free them from debt or to release them from working at something they don't want to work at in order to receive money. The thing I hear them say most often is that they want to win the lottery, where they'll get their abundance in exchange for someone else losing theirs.
Abraham: If their expectation were in a place that would allow it, then that could be a way for money to come to them. But most know the odds against that, and so their expectation for winning the lottery is not in a powerful place either.
Whatever thought you are focused upon- whether it is a memory from your past, something you are observing in your present, or something you are anticipating(預期) in your future-that thought is active within you right now, and it is attracting other thoughts and ideas that are similar nature but the longer you focus, the stronger the thoughts become and the more attraction power they amass(累積).
Our friend Jerry likened this to the ropes he once observed while watching a large ship being docked. It was to be tied with a rope that was very large- too big and bulky to be thrown across the expanse of water. And so, instead, a small ball of twine was tossed across the water to the dock. The twine had been spliced into a little bigger rope, which had been spliced(接合) into a little bigger rope, which had been spliced into a little bigger rope... until eventually, the very large rope could be easily pulled across the expanse of water, and the ship was then secured to the dock. This is similar to the way your thoughts dovetail(使吻合) into one another, with one connecting to another, connecting to another, and so on.
