Abraham on Diversity!

[Deva]

There is a big mix out there, and there's lots of different things going on, and there is not one way that was intended to be the right way. Just like there's not one color or one flower or one vegetable or one fingerprint. There is not one that is to be the right one over all others. The variety is what fosters the creativity. And so you say, "Okay, I accept that there's lots of variety, but I don't like to eat cucumbers." Don't eat cucumbers. But don't ask them to be eliminated and don't condemn those who eat them. Don't stand on corners waving signs trying to outlaw the things that you don't like. Don't ruin your life by pushing against. Instead, say, "I choose this instead. This does please me.

THERE'S NOT ONE TRUTH OF ONE RELIGION THAT IS APPROPRIATE - Have you ever known someone whose life was not based on what you thought was moral or appropriate behavior? And yet, they continued to win. You know why? They don't listen to the other side of the argument and mix up their vibration. They focus upon and hold themselves in alignment with what they want—and the Universe delivers to them what they want. It doesn't matter how many others stand back and claim injustice, foul play, or inappropriate, the Law of Attraction always answers your vibration. And it doesn't have anything to do with what anybody else is doing—or thinks about what you're doing—unless you change your vibration because of what they think about what you're doing. That's why a variety of medical remedies work differently on different people. That's why a variety of religious intentions work for different people.

So, whether it's one or a hundred that you are co-creating with, use the stimulation factor, but don't allow yourself to get worried about their choice or their control. Just know that Well-being always flows to you.

What they think about anything does not matter. Only what you think. But when you start thinking about what somebody else thinks, and forming a judgment about what they're thinking -- now you're thinking, and now you've introduced resistance. And then you say, "Well, I didn't feel resistance before I was thinking about what you were thinking, so if you'd stop thinking about it, then I wouldn't have resistance." And we say, you could stop thinking about what they're thinking, and there wouldn't be any resistance, either. And you say, "True enough, but it would be a lot easier for me to not think about what they're thinking if they're not thinking it, especially if they're not speaking it." There is where allowing really serves you.

Let's say that I have a specific style of furniture. I'm a vibrational match to it and I don't have discord around it. Then I hook up with someone who has a very different style in furniture, and they want to bring their really bad looking stuff into my life. But I'm not getting upset about the current state of what-is. I'm looking for things to appreciate. I'm more focused upon the other positive aspects of our relationship. I'm focused upon my furniture. So, could she, in her purity of vibration, throw all of my furniture out, vibrationally?" And we say, as she finds vibrational harmony with her furniture and with her life, and with her relationship, the Universe has the ability to find furniture that pleases you both. And in the process, there's this magical blending. Oh, the Universe's ability to please you all, on all fronts, is unlimited. But most physical Beings get in the way of it, right away -- because they're "sure" it cannot happen

It is very difficult to understand what anybody else's experience is. There aren't enough words to really understand what anybody else is living. Physical beings want things to be the same. They want people to think the same. You work rather hard at sameness, but you will never win that battle, because from Nonphysical, diversity is known to be the most beneficial part of the game.

Excerpted from the workshop in Maui, HI on Sunday, December 14th, 1997

The most magnificent Creators don't want to get together with people who think just like they do. They're looking for people who have other thoughts, because out of the contradiction, comes ideas that could not be born out of sameness. Your relationships will be ultimately more if you're not identical twins just "yessing, yessing, yessing" to everything that the other one is about.

Excerpted from the workshop in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, July 24th, 1999

Your world is pointing toward an insistence on conformity, which is causing you enormous grief. It's what's at the heart of all of your religious battles, and religious battles are what are at the heart of all of your battles. In other words, all of your wars and global irritation with one another is over your determination to promote sameness. Your democracy insists that it's the only government that works. And every religion, (it's interesting to note) proclaims that it is the only one that works.

Excerpted from the workshop in Kansas City, MO on Wednesday, September 15th, 2004

Every physical being on this planet is your partner in co-creation, and if you could accept that and appreciate the diversity of desires and beliefs, all of you would have a more expansive, satisfying, fulfilling experience.

Abraham, of the Jews, Christians and Muslims

GUEST: It was easier for me to speak in Italian and Hebrew, but I wanted to ask something. Abraham is not a religion, but has something with how you can live better. Also something to do with believing. What is the relationship between the two things? Most of the people here came from some religion, were born into some religion. Where did Abraham come forth from? In the western world, the three biggest religions are the Jewish religion, the Christian religion, and the Muslim religion, and all of them begin from Abraham. That is the father of all these religions?

ABRAHAM: Yes. It is the correlation exactly as you have spoken it. As we are speaking to you here, we are not offering words to Esther that she is then repeating. We are offering our knowing, that she is deciphering at an unconscious level, and then finding the best words that she knows, or that your mass consciousness knows, to reflect that knowing. In those early days, before Esther was actually speaking for us, when she was actually receiving the impulse of letters, we offered to her a block of thought that was very much as you just described. We said to her, We are Nonphysical. We have been around for a very long time. We are at the heart of all that physical beings have ever known. There is no one on the planet who, at their root, is not in harmony with that which we are about. We said to her. We are the essence of all that has begun. And as Esther received these blocks of thought that she is today translating into many more words, at that time, the most obvious unconscious label, that most matched all of that that we were giving, came out, Abraham.

Now, as people say, "Are you the Abraham that is in the Bible?" we say, "Well, which one are you talking about?" There have been so many different renditions of who he is and what he had to say, that there are many different blocks of thoughts around it.

All beings, without exception, have come forth knowing of the value of that which you are about. All physical beings, no matter what nationality, no matter what background, no matter what religious heritage into which they have been born, all of you have come forth basically knowing the same thing.

What trips you up and causes you to kill each other over the subject of religion, more than all other things, is that somewhere along the line you've come to believe that there are only some truths.

It is the balance, or diversity, that gives you your greatest strength. And yet, people, as they look among each other, feel threatened by those who choose differently. The reason people feel threatened by those who choose differently is because they have not individually acknowledged their connection to their own Source.

When you understand that it's all about offering my vibration: "I offer my vibration, and the Universe responds. It doesn't matter what he does, or he does or she does. It doesn't even matter what they think of what I do. A million of them could push against me, and it would not negatively affect me, at all, unless I push back."

"When I finally get it that I offer a vibration, and the Universe responds, now I'm able to allow anyone to vibrate or behave or think or believe or desire anyway they want, because what they do, in no way could have negative impact upon me." But if I don't know that, if I believe that you might negatively create, and that some of what you do might seep over on me, if I believe that your illness or your philosophy or your religion might do harm to me, now I'm defensive. I'm putting up borders. I'm boycotting and barricading. I'm putting down laws and rules and requirements, and now, I've got enforcement people... Now, in my defensiveness, in my guardedness of what might be, I disconnect from Source, and as I disconnect from Source, bad things begin to happen to me. And then I become even more convinced that you and your different beliefs are a threat to me.

Oh, it is so clarifying and so satisfying to finally get it that they all are allowed to exist. They all get to be as they are, and all that they choose is appropriate, and I get to choose, and that is appropriate.

Religion is demanded by the masses who want guidance. Religion, in and of itself, has a very positive basis. People want so much to be good. They want to do what is appropriate, and they just want someone to tell them what to do.


Bless your hearts. We don't know how you stand it. Every time you turn around there's somebody else saying, "Come this way." "No. Come this way." Or, "Whatever you do, don't go that way." And it is so wonderful when you finally connect, when you finally get the correlation that elation means you're connected to your God Force and anger means you're not. Appreciation means you're connected and frustration means you're not. When you finally get it that you have this personal relationship with this Stream and that you have this magnificent Guidance System within you that lets you know, in every particle of every moment, what you're doing relative to the Stream, and so, you let your dominant intent be to connect to the Stream and radiate it as much as you can, then, suddenly, everything else falls into its perfect place.

There will always be those like those in the Bible, and even Esther here today, who connect with the Stream and who respond to your asking. Is there one voice that's more appropriate than others? No. Each must find that which is in vibrational harmony with who they are.
