Introducing Abraham - The Secret Behind "The Secret" (http://tinyurl.com/l7uvxg) (DVD)
Esther and Jerry Hicks (2005)



Key terms:



Source energy: all-that-is (aka non-physical, god, life energy, infinite being, existence).
Non-physical: the formless substance of energy, awareness, and consciousness. It is described as loving, understanding, and eternal. It exists in the state of infinity - with access to infinite energy, wisdom, and love. It exists free of the time-space concept.
Physical: When you make a decision, your intention acts like a giant magnet - it begins to attract energy. As you continue to focus on this intention, the energy accumulates and the intention becomes focused. When enough energy has accumulated, your intention takes physical form.
Contrast: a life experience that causes discomfort. All contrast serves you - it helps you clarify your intention, it allows you to expand, and it creates the eternal nature of infinity. Contrast is not a punishment, it is a gift. It doesn't have to be painful or chronic, it can be released as soon as it is experienced. The pain happens because of misdirected focus.
Rocket of desire: When you experience contrast, you automatically become aware of an opposite experience that feels more pleasant. So as you experience contrast, as a response, you naturally shoot out a "rocket of desire", wanting to be in that pleasant experience. Your inner-being becomes this expanded being instantly, and uses emotion to communicate and guide you into that pleasant perspective.
Inner-being: a person's non-physical counterpart that expands instantly. Also known as the expanded self, or pure focused intention. It is like a bank of accumulated personal preferences.
Emotional Guidance System: also know as intuition. Your emotions act like the GPS in a vehicle. You are always receiving guidance from your inner-being. It is steering you to experiences that suit your personal preference.
Negative emotion: an indicator that a thought you are thinking is not in alignment with your inner-being - there is resistance in your thought. When you are not in alignment, you are distancing yourself from your inner-being.
Relief: reaching for a thought that feels better than the previous thought on a certain subject. As you reach for relief, you are in closer proximity to your inner-being.
Allowing: thinking thoughts that do not create resistance with your inner-being. A state of being where you do not restrict your inner-being from flowing.
Resistance: a thought that contradicts another thought you have in your belief system. A thought that doesn't allow the free flowing of your inner-being.
Stream of Well-Being: Just like there is a light switch, but no dark switch, there is a stream of well-being. And when you are connected to the stream of well-being, you are allowing perfect health, loving relationships, prosperity, clarity, and ease into your experience. And when you are sick, poor, alone, unsure, or tired, it is always because you are not allowing this stream of well-being to flow in you; you are blocking the stream of well-being from flowing.
The Vortex: When you are in your vortex, you are an open conduit, and you are allowing your stream of well-being to flow. When you are out of your vortex, you are blocking the stream of well-being from flowing, and this blockage is always caused by a thought of resistance.



FAQs:



Who am I?
You are source energy that has projected itself into physical form. Everything is non-physical, and then some of that which is non-physical also takes physical form. When non-physical intention is focused and observed, it takes physical form.
What is the purpose of life?
To feel good - when you enjoy yourself, you release resistance, and you catch-up with the expanded state of your inner-being. When you are having fun, you are being the best possible you.
What happens after death?
You return into the non-physical. In the moment of departure itself, you feel great relief - all human limitation is removed from you and you experience absolute freedom. It's like the relief you experience when removing a tight shoe from your foot. Your perspective shifts from your human awareness to that of source. There is absolutely no judgment - there is only love.

Can you think of any other important key terms? Can you think of any other questions that people like to ask?

Nice job, 11:11. I love how you summed it up. It's clear, very clear.


And, Alex, I like your note about "only a stream of well-being"....I agree, I think the whole teaching is built on that belief.

The Vortex, VE and/or Virtual Reality seems to be the answer to the question, "Where's my stuff"? Perhaps, these are terms which might be helpful to define.

Thanks for this, 11:11. I LOVE The Secret Behind the Secret... it is what really made me fall in love with the teachings of Abraham... I sent it to about 20 friends after I first watched it... you did a great summary. ROCK ON, BROTHA!!

Yeah, me 2. I invited over some friends to watch it, and they were really entertained by how the producer put the material together. Afterwards, they even asked for some Abraham CDs, which I gave the Introductory CD. Ironically, I had been wanting to give them Abraham Cds, since I frequently discussed the material, but I was never asked, until after the movie.

I met the producer on the Cruise, and he's a really great person to know. He did an excellent job in putting this movie together where it could really open someone, who was a bit skeptical about the Abraham teachings, to be more open to their practicality.

This is an excellent movie to watch. 11:11, you've done a great job putting the fine points of the movie in print. I rank this DVD as one of the best introductory presentations to the Abraham teachings.

Added: Stream of Well-Being, The Vortex.

Technically, I think 'The Vortex' is not on this DVD. But since this thread is our introduction to Abraham, I think the definition should be here.
