Guest guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Why Abraham Doesn't LaughGUEST: Abraham doesn't laugh, really laugh. And I'm assuming that Abraham doesn't cry. Because I am focused in this physical, I do have those expressions... ABRAHAM: Yes. As does Esther. Esther is hearty laugher. GUEST: What is that difference? My focus is to be a lover and to flow Energy, but what gets my attention, very often, is the contrast. If I hear a baby cry, I hear that and that gets my attention. I'm drawn to that, and I want to be aware of that so that I can flow Energy. ABRAHAM: The thing about laughing, that is most apparent, is, humor has woven within it the element of surprise. What makes something funny, it is mostly about timing. And from our perspective, we are never surprised. We are always very well anticipating, because we are able to read Energy, and we know probable outcomes of most things — and so there is not that element of surprise. The vibration that sometimes you call the vibration of humor can be a very joyful vibration, and we are often in that same joyful vibration — but the element of surprise doesn't take it into that range that you might call humor. You talk about sadness that is evidenced by tears, or joy that is evidenced by humor. Often — not always — but often, the emotions that humans feel are felt most sharply because of the contrasting experiences that you are living. The other day we saw Esther, in a moment of sublime appreciation. She was appreciating her life and her life with Jerry and her life in this work, and she thought about how they'd been together for 20 years, now — more than that — and how fast it has passed. And now, she is thinking about the next 20 years and how fast it will pass, and she, for a moment, was sort of overwhelmed with a feeling of sadness as she realized how fast time is passing. It made her feel lack. So much good stuff to savor and not enough time to really savor it. Whenever you identify anything that is wanted, there is a corresponding lack of it. When you pick up that stick that has abundance on one end of it, it has the obvious lack of abundance on the other end of it. And so, sometimes as you travel back and forth across those boundaries, that's when the sharpness of your emotions hits you the most. In a place of really desiring something, that's when your awareness of not having it would be more potent. We have talked about how when you identify a desire that that desire summons life through you, and it is the feeling of life flowing through you. That is, in fact, the reason for your existence: to find opportunity to focus, so that that feeling that you call joy floods through you, as Energy that creates worlds is flowing through your vortex. Have's and Have Nots Sometimes, what we notice, as we watch our physical friends, is that as you are reaching for your joy — you're actually pushing against something else. And so, most of you have wide swings from ecstasy to agony. In fact, your physical environment is becoming more sharply pointed. The difference between the have's and the have not's and the well and the sick is becoming more exaggerated — because the Energy that supplies your planet, that you all are summoning through desire, is coming from the multitude of contrasting experiences that you are having as you summon this desire. As more and more of you are living contrasting experiences that are causing more of you to have desire, so that desire is summoning more Life Force into your physical realm, and so more of you who are in synch with the Life Force are soaring, and more of you who are out of synch with it are having a difficult time. Nonphysical Difference Back to the heart of your question about Abraham and humor and Abraham and sadness as compared to the physical you: We are just steadier. We've acclimated to that higher vibration. We don't push against anything. The primary difference between the Nonphysical you and the physical you is that all of us, physical and Nonphysical, explore contrast — because without the exploration of contrast, we would not conclude new decisions or desires. But the difference is, in the Nonphysical realm — we do not turn to what we have not chosen and push against it. We maintain a more even keel. We maintain, from your perspective, what you would call a consistent steady connection to this Stream. We are the embodiment — the Nonphysical embodiment — of the Stream. You are the physical embodiment of the Stream, although sometimes, in what you choose as your object of attention, you disallow the Stream. And so, every now and again Esther will say, "Well, I think I'll just let Abraham come into my being, and they can just live out the rest of my life. They're always tuned in, tapped in, turned on. They're always looking for the best in things. They are always feeling wonderful." And we say, well that's a nice idea except that Abraham's exploration of the contrast would not net as much desire as your exploration of the contrast. And since desire is the name of this game — desire is what you exist for in order to continue to summon Life Force — you would be defeating some of your purpose. The Value of Your Negative Emotions Don't be uncomfortable with your range of emotions. We would not want you to put Novocain in your fingers so that you could not feel the hot stove so you could lay on the hot stove and say, "Hm. This should hurt but it doesn't." Because there would be damage done. It's nice that your sensors guide you away from that which is damaging to your experience — and that your sensors guide you as to the proximity or the content of your vibrational offering. But do not assume that the vibration that is the best vibration is the one without negative emotion. We would rather see you in negative emotion and finding your balance than bobbing along on a blissful trail of contentment with no new desire being born. It is much more important that you find reasons to summon Energy, and sometimes step out of balance, than if you were always in a peaceful contented place.
