[Abe talking to guest about his success story]
Guest
I KNOW it was through my IMAGINATION FIRST. I just have so much evidence in my life of that.
Abe
So how would you account for that? How would you explain to those who have not quite yet found it? How do you think you were able to muster enough imagination to develop the sense of well being before you had the evidence that supported it?
In other words .How do you justify your well being without the physical evidence?
Guest
Well you know it started small. There were little things that would happen………..I would like put it out into my imagination. There were small things and they would start happening . And then what happened is things weren’t going the way I wanted them to go and I would draw upon the little experiences I had to build a little bit bigger experience.
And then I started to trust more and more and more because there was so much irrefutable evidence in my life.
Now after 2 years of practicing it there is no way that anybody could convince me…………
Abe
There you have it!!
As you playfully choose three subjects that you spend 17 seconds [of pure thought] upon. And you begin to notice that the Universe’s response to your clear thought.
It doesn’t take very long does it before you acknowledge the Law [of Attraction] is consistent and it will bring back to me that which I am willing to give my attention to.
Guest
Absolutely.
Abe
We really want you to take pleasure in your visualization sessions.
And we also want you to be easy on yourself because it isn’t the easiest thing that you have ever done to find a subject of interest and maintain it . But the rewards are extraordinary.!!
In other words if you will take the time to do it the pay off is everlasting

………..every day I collect like a vacuum cleaner. Collecting more and more evidence of the way the Universe works. And each day becomes easier and easier .
If it goes a little bit off in a different direction, I don’t even see it really …………I have to say those words with intention because it doesn’t…………..its all moving in that direction.
Abe
So are you saying to us that, as you are moving through your physical experience you are actually savoring the re-alignment process?
You’re actually savoring the contrast that brings you a new thought? And you are savoring the alignment of energy to the thought? And you are savoring the thing that takes you from your alignment?
And you’re savoring your awareness that you are off your balance? And you’re savoring the application of the tool that brings you back into balance?
Are you saying to us that you are having fun with all of this ?!!!?
Guest
That’s well said!!
Abe
You see what we want you [all] to realize so often as physical beings you have this thing you want . And everything that’s not taking you right to it feels like ………….” I’m off my track or I’m not reaching my goal or I’m not doin it right or I’ve done something wrong or I’m missing the boat. Or whatever.
But when you begin to realize that the moulding of the energy is just like the moulding of the clay.
In other words if you were sculpting your first statue you would not take a big lump of clay and splat it down on the table and then complain “Oh It didn’t turn out right “.[laughter]
Guest
I might lose it for a minute or two. Or even for 5 minutes ……………
Abe
Why because it’s a habit of thought?
Guest
Just because it’s a kneejerk reaction.
Abe
And when you follow that kneejerk reaction knowing what you are knowing . What happens right away?
Guest
Em, ………….I started to laugh at myself eventually.

Guest
Yeah Thinking about years ago I used to get very depressed and like I used to believe that my negative feelings were real. And somehow if I just felt them strongly things would get better You know I was crazy! Actually if I could label anything as being crazy that was crazy!!!!
