Telling a different story

[Alchemy]

As I'm sure everyone here is aware, the last two daily quotes from Abraham-Hicks has been all about telling a different story, telling it how we'd like it to be. So how do I go about doing this? I'm in the midst of writing it in detail in my journal, plus I think I'm going to set up a personal blog and write about what my daily life will be like now that I have my dreams (but to keep my blog private).

But how do I go about talking to people like I already have my dreams? Strangers, yeah, or very casual acquaintances, but what about those who know me well, like my parents, whom I just happen to live with and see every single day? Any advice would be very nice.

To somebody that doesn't know you very well, I think that you start telling something like: I don't want to talk about it( but in between the lines I'm getting a new job soon) :biggrin:

I have been very...picky about what I tell my parents. What would it be called in court - lying by omission? :twisted:

Hi Alchemy, welcome! :welcome: :hug:

I like what you said :lol: haha... but actually, that's not lying at all, when you're omitting something, you're just not sharing info, and the best part is.......... YOU DON'T HAVE TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO! :dance:

Isn't that cool!? :D Not only that, but, there's only this one eternal moment... and if everything is happening simultaneously (past, present, future) then, you're creating all of it right this very moment, meaning... you can turn it around and re-create a totally different reality (past, present and future!) And it's all the truth... whatever you want it to be! ^^

Love :heart:

I have nothing against my folks, they have been there for me when I honestly did not deserve their support, and that is all I'll say about that. But when I talk about my future glowingly, about how I see it, they give me this smile and do the whole "that doesn't happen to people like us" or "fantasies are nice, but we live in reality." I love them so much, but sometimes I want to scream when they respond like that, but I don't because that is their opinion and even though they want to change mine, I'd never try and change theirs.

My parents are great people, they don't want to see me disappointed, and have done so much in my life to keep me from feeling that way, but they really sheltered me at the same time. I think my new sense of independence and optimism are confusing them. They don't just have their feet on the ground, their feet are NAILED there.

But I decided that I would stop telling them my story. It will be easier all around.

So I should practice my "I told you so" song and dance routine now, huh?

Esther told a story of when Jerry was in the MLM business and he introduced a new employee to the idea of working there. And before this seed could grow a strong root, this person would go home excited and tell their family, and their family would pick apart their dream until they felt stupid. So this little sapling would get ripped out of the ground, and the next day this person wouldn't come back to work.

And so Abraham suggested: Keep your ideas and dreams to yourself. Don't inform anyone of what you are doing, or are planning to do, until you can be confident that no matter how much disbelief the other person sends at you, you won't budge. You have to be so selfish that no matter what your parents want for you, you say NO, what I want is more important to my well-being, happiness, and success.

And a suggestion. If you don't feel comfortable talking about "having these things", then change the tone. Talk about your hope for this manifestation, or how you feel overwhelmed, and "Wouldn't it be nice if ... " sort of conversations.

Just because you cannot see the path to the manifestation of your dream, does not mean it will not happen. Like The Secret gave example of driving at night: your headlights only show the next 100 meters, but if you trust the road will always unfold, you can make it from New York to Florida with no problem.

By the way, your parents are responding to your vibration. If you segment intend that they will understand you, and they will react with encouragement, than that is what will happen. If you feel afraid of their disapproval, or you feel like you must make them understand the law of attraction before you can feel good about your dreams, than that is how they will react. I used segment intending to visualize how I wanted my parents to responded when I dropped out of university. A few times, I tried talking to my mother, and the conversation ended with lots of bitter emotion. But then I tried segment intending, and I expected my parents to "react like if they were Abraham-Hicks readers", and everything went smoothly. Your parents reaction depends on how your energy is aligned about talking with them. Just expect them to be happy.

I never said I was uncomfortable having my dreams, it has nothing to do with that. I don't remember ever saying that at all in my post. I know they will manifest, I have only the occasional fleeting thought that they won't. I just get so annoyed with the "I know better then you" smiles I get from them. I know, I know, I know that this will happen, there is no doubt, so why do they doubt? I know we cannot know what others are thinking, but both of my parents are logical, scientific people, and I've given them enough physical evidence. Heck, they just had an awesome weeklong trip thanks to me.

My parents always have humored my dreams, and never believed they would happen, even when, time and time again, I could make some amazing stuff come true. Maybe I am vibrating that they will not believe me, but a) that vibration will take time to change because it is deeply rooted and b) it honestly has not affected me being able to manifest, so it seems more work than its worth to change it. Its kind of become tradition now that I look back : I have a desire, they disbelieve that it could ever happen, it manifests, they support me now that it is reality, I have another desire, they disbelieve that it could ever happen, it manifests...and the cycle continues.

Thus again, the problem. They insist that I chat with them. And they want details. I gotta find something to say. I've tried prepaving but it only works for a short time and its back to feeling like I have a single spotlight shining in my face.

I'm thinking of just flat-out lying and tell them what they want to hear about what I want to do with my future. After reading everyone's posts, its the only thing I can figure. They'll be happy because that's what they want to hear and I'll be happy because I'll know what my true dreams are.

Problem you have to solve here is that you don't have to talk to them about your future, expecting that they are a one with you as they were when you were growing up. They are not, they are perfect, but they are not on a same level as you are. So let it be. You will made it, you will find the way to communicate with them and feel ok. Don't expect from them to give you support ( by the way you already find this place for that-this other family) in your reality because you know very well what reality they live in- naturally you go beyond their borders, and maybe one day you will have opportunity to get them higher, and show them their "reality" is not based on truth.., but this day hasn't come jet. Respect this perfect timing. You are enough to make it happen. Everything will organize itself on a way that you can live loving them and separate your reality from their unknowingness. You'll be their teacher when they are ready. They are perfect though.

See, I like talking to my parents about most things. We spent a lot of years doing nothing but arguing with each other and hating each other. That relationship has been flipped 180 degrees and I like having it. I'll find a way to deal with this.

The story is for YOU and only for YOU, not for others. They will see the manifestation when they see the manifestation. The story that Jerry told that 11:11 quoted was told at ne of the Asheville workshops last year, and maybe others, as well. It so perfectly sums up what St. Germain has been saying for years: "A MASTER DREAMS,...... DARES, .....DOES-----AND KEEPS SILENT."
