AFFIRMATION
My Every Request Is Being Granted
I don’t know how many of you have read Abraham as channeled by Jerry and Esther Hicks, but there is some fantastic advice being given. Abraham states, “If you have the ability to imagine it, or even to think about it, this Universe has the ability and the resources to deliver it fully unto you.“
Wow, just imagine the power we have within ourselves! All you have to do is know what you want! If you don’t know what you want, you will not be able to block the negative things that are bouncing into your life! How do we do this? How do we discern what it is we want or don’t want? It is through life experiences.
I recently saw a U-Tube video showing babies experiencing their first taste of a lemon. It was hilarious – and each baby reacted much in the same way. They grimaced, closed one eye, threw their heads back and blinked rapidly. The consistency was amazing. And we are all like that, we experience things that we will carry as a ‘head thrown back blinking moment’ – for the rest of our lives. And some of us never repeat the experience! Thus, refusing to drink lemonade, eat lemon meringue pie or even think of a lemon slice in our ice tea.
And so, it is through our exposure to life experience that our preferences are born. In fact, these preferences are exuding from you in all moments of every day, at many levels of your Being. And according to Abraham, “Even the cells of your well-tended-to body are having their own experience and are emanating their own preferences-and every preference is recognized by Source and immediately answered, with no exceptions.”
Through our experiences we gain our perspective of abundance, and the lack of it. Many refuse to love again – because of having been hurt or won’t take a certain path, a new job or even taste a new food.
Sometimes we want a world without so many unwanted things; a place where things are exactly as we want. But, this is an expanding Universe and all things, even Brussel sprouts, mosquitoes, heartbreak and angry bosses must be allowed. For you to understand and experience what you desire, you must understand what you don’t want. In order to be able to choose and focus, both must be present and understood.
This physical world is not broken and in need of repair and you did not come forth to fix it. You came forth understanding the value in the contrast, and the balance in the variety.
As Abraham says, “Every physical Being on your planet is your partner in co-creation, and if you would accept that and appreciate the diversity of beliefs and desires-all of you would have more expansive, satisfying, and fulfilling experiences.”
And, just because some people feel and choose differently – it does not make you right and them wrong. You are here to understand the value of diversity and that there is room enough in this expansive Universe for all manner of thought and experience.
As you pay attention to the way you feel and continue to choose good-feeling thoughts you stay aligned. Abraham says, “…the vibrational characteristics of you and everything about you will shift somewhat, and a new set of contrasting circumstances will inspire new preferences within you – and now, new rockets of desire emanate from you. And again, you have created your desire. And again, you have achieved a powerful place of clarity where another new set of contrasting factors surround you-which again will cause a new rocket of desire to be born.”
Source responds to this desire and it is a never-ending, always flowing, pure, positive Energy expansion.
The entire Universe is established in that way. And as you begin to relax into the idea that you are an eternal Being, that your desires will never cease to flow, and that any desire that is born has the power within it to attract all that is necessary for the expansion and fulfillment of itself, then you may remember the immense Well-Being upon which this Universe is established. And, you may then relax into the eternal nature of your own Being. It is then that you will begin to enjoy your journey.
When you stay aligned, you always win, and somebody else does not have to lose for you to win. There is always enough. If you are not receiving what you are asking for, it is not because there is a shortage of resources; it is probably because your desire is out of alignment with your own request. There is no shortage. There is no lack. There is no competition for resources. There is only the allowing or the disallowing of that which you are asking for and both are Universal growth and experiences!
So, stop worrying about when, where and how things are going to happen. You are a child of the Universe – experiencing all there is. And it is time to put out your affirmations and requests for what is already there! But, as a Universal being – you just might get it next lifetime!
MEDITATION
Two men meet on the street: “How are you?” one asks. The other replies: “I’m fine, thanks.” “And how’s your son? Is he still unemployed?” “Yes, he is. But he is meditating now.” “Meditating? What’s that?” “I don’t know. But it’s better than sitting around doing nothing!”
A PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Dear God, so far today, I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, and I haven’t lost my temper. I haven’t been grumpy, nasty or selfish, and I’m really glad of that! But in a few minutes, God, I’m going to get out of bed, and from then on, I’m probably going to need a lot of help. Thank you! Amen.
