Today's quote:

When you reach for the thought that feels better, the Universe is now responding differently to you because of that effort. And so, the things that follow you get better and better, too. So it gets easier to reach for the thought that feels better, because you are on ever-increasing, improving platforms that feel better.

Excerpted from a workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, March 11th, 2000

All Is Well
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you deliberatly start to feel good, sometimes you have to make a definite effort and focus and concentrate, and think the thoughts that will bring the feelings, and spend some time until you reach the state of being you're looking for. After the deliberate effort, the process becomes more like a routine that you do not do so deliberatly but automatically. It's more like brushing your teeth. You don't have to give much thought to it, you do it on autopilot. The way it is meant to be. Easier. Faster. The better it gets the *easier* it gets.

After practicing this for a while, it becomes second nature. You just feel good for no reason. It is easier to identify the moments when you don't feel so good, because feeling not-so-good is not natural anymore. And it is also easier to get back to your *natural* state of being. Of feeling good.

That's why sometimes after you start the process you feel that negative emotion feels so bad! Now you can read it better. It's not part of you. It's not who you are. Ahhh, it's so good to feel good!

I am in love with life. I can see that for the last 4 years my life just gets better and better and I can't help but wonder where it is taking me now. What adventures are ahead of me? what wonderful friendships? what awesome destinations? It is so good to know that even though I have not seen the movie, I know the end is a happy one.

I am in love. I am in love with ME and life. My life. My little universe that I've created. it's gotten so much better that it keeps getting so much better. It's a circle. A vicious one. Non stop. It gets better then it gets easier and better. And because it got easier, it gets better. And...you get my point.

Anyway, this quote makes so much sense to me. I see it everyday in my life.

Ahhh, it feels so good to talk to you guys! For years I've been wanting a soul-mate that could understand me and my rampages and my books and my way of thinking...and then I find this forum...so good...so delicious...so mine.

I love you all,

Isabel

Yay Isabel! Great rampage! And I'm so glad you found us too! That's how I felt when I found TheAbeForum last year.

About the quote and your comments: all true - so true... but you know what happens to me? I find as the platform I'm standing on improves... that I don't really notice its changing... my life gets better and better but then when I hit a rocky spot I drop down the EGS and then I feel disappointed that I'm not happy anymore and it feels the same to me as years ago. Except when I realize that now, instead of dropping down into depression... I'm only dropping into frustration or disappointment... so really I've come a long way... I just don't notice... because everything is relative... and my platform is moving.

Did that make sense? :scratch:

So I have to think a bit... how I felt a year or two or five ago... and realize - Hell Yes I've Really Expanded! But if I don't look back at how I used to feel, I can't tell how far I've come.

Unless! I look at the circumstances of my life... then it is obvious... I'm a helluva lot richer than I was years ago. But feeling wise... it feels sort of the same. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone but me... but thanks for listening. :)

New Dawn, I completely understand you. And thanks for understanding me.

I go through the same process. I don't notice that the platform is changing until I make a concious effort to look back and compare. As you said, the circumstances around me are the best point of reference.

I do know that I feel better, and sometimes I forget how crappy I used to feel because the changes happen in such subtle way that I don't notice right away. My husband is the one that tells me all the time tha he sees how I'm constanlty changing. And he's not an Aber.

Oh, I love life.

And I love you New Dawn. You are an inspiration to me. I see myself reflected in your life experience. I see that if you have achieved it I can achieve it to.

Yay! Exactly what you said! Only you said it better! It's so nice to be understood. ^^

I love you too Isabel. :heart: From California to Alabama a big smooch. Let's share a nice pot of tea (or a shot of tequila 8-) ) at the Multi-Millionaires Club sometime!

p.s. Your doggy is a cutie-pie!
