Whenever you’re trying to understand anything that is as huge as all of the Universe, or as huge as all eternity, all you have to do is bring it back to something simple that you do understand, and ask the questions and apply them. And then you can understand the Whole. Everything that’s true of the Whole is true of the individual. – Abraham

It serves you  to line up your energy before you act, because if you do take action when out of alignment it’s not going to take you where you want it to anyway.  The energy always has to be a vibrational match. 

For me this can be a challenge.  Sometimes I go to this place where I am thinking I can act/work myself through situations/emotions, and that if I start busting my ass it’ll all be all right. 

I learned the truth of this in such an instantaneous deliciously satisfying way the other night.  I had to shovel the driveway.  It was covered in snow and about four inches of solid ice underneath.  The weather had turned mild so it was the best time to get this done.  (Trust me, I wasn’t feeling it.)

Huffing and puffing I take a crack at the ice.  I am cursing it in my head and out loud.  I could not get this ice to crack –I couldn’t seem to get at it or make any progress, you know?  I am thinking: “I’m never going to get this done… I am going to miss the Jennifer Hudson Christmas special on TV…”

So I say out loud “What are you doing?  Relax yourself, boy.  Get your breath right.  It’s just some snow and ice in the driveway, star…It’s all good.”   I tell myself to treat this as if it was a workout at the gym.  I wouldn’t be pissed of exerting myself at the gym.  I’d be happy about it.  A chance to keep things sexy and I’m in.

Well, as soon as I had the energy right and my thoughts on enjoying the feeling of the present moment – the task became effortless.  It was as if all of a sudden I hit the ice at all the right angles.  I felt awesome.  Right out there with the spot of the street light shining on me.  I just felt happy that I had allowed myself to  figure a way into alignment with my desires.  Even with something simple like  clearing the ice because now I could apply this to something greater.  Now, how great would that be? 

Hard work is not the path to Well- Being. Feeling good is the path to Well-Being. You don’t create through action; you create through vibration. And then, your vibration calls action from you. – Abraham

I want to turn a belief – one born from faith – into knowing.

Often I spent an inordinate amount of time over thinking what it is I want to say in this blog, a blog about my spiritual journey.

So, tonight as I write this I throw all my list of “maybe this, maybe that” out the window, and leave you with this:

I am in my beautiful and warm house on a December night.  I have a quiet mind.  There is a gorgeous man right in front of my face – who is so talented – at the desk sewing what I am sure will turn out to be a dynamite garment.  I’m sitting comfortably, writing.  My delicious and stunning super-kind roommate is upstairs, baking bread and watching holiday movies with a handsome friend and three good-natured dogs. I woke up this morning to a job offer.

If I have ever been in the vicinity of vibrational alignment, or the vortex of abundance (I whisper in your ear) I am right here and now in that centre.  I am connected to source, without any notions of a separation.  I am not sitting here wishing for “a life”.  This is and I am – life.  Living it in freedom, freed up by a new-found knowing and a carefree-ness (which is exactly what I wanted).  When it’s like this, I know I am being who I really am.

And I love it.  All I had to do is know I could write this down.  So what else is possible?

“You need not do anything.  Remain sitting at your table and listen.  You need not even listen, just wait.  You need not even wait, just become quiet and still and solitary.  And the world will offer itself to you, to be unmasked.  It has no choice.  It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.” – Franz Kafka

Today I found myself looking up clips of Abraham on Youtube.  Here is some of what I came across that I found powerful and inspiring for my life right now.  These clips easily reminded me of the direction I want to be emotionally; right now as I deal with every day challenges and ‘problems’.  I was deliberately looking to get lifted and feel better.  Have a look for yourself, and read on.
