Just 17 seconds, eh?

"In the same way that there is not an instant wanted thing manifesting in your experience, there is not instant unwanted thing happening in your experience. It takes some adapting to vibrations. If you've managed to hold anything, wanted or unwanted, for 17 seconds -- there is a coalescing of thought that takes you a little closer to the vibration of whatever you are turning your attention to. Those 17 second increments, are not discernible. And that's why, when you get into that place, it feels like instant manifestation. Just like when you get into that negative place, it feels like instant manifestation. It's like, "Where did that come from? Seemed like it just sort of snuck up on me," instead of snuck up over a long time." - Abraham

What's your vibration doing for you?

An Australian Television Producer approached Jerry and Ester Hicks about building a show around Abraham's teachings, and because of some fortuitous events the video evolved into a DVD format before it could be turned into a show. The DVD became a huge success and as a result, millions around the world have seen it. The movie was called "The Secret".

And although the movie was named The Secret, and it's advertised intention was to reveal to the world the previously hidden secret to success, little did the enthusiastic viewers know that the REAL secret that they had been seeking, had once again been suppressed. Censored by the producers because of greed. Before the movie was released (at large) Jerry and Ester were told that the producers and "the powers that be" had demanded, among other things, that Abraham's use of the keyword "vibration" be edited out of the project.

And so it turns out the real secret behind The Secret was that The Secret was still being kept a secret!

They wanted to be able to sell what they believed the majority of the marketers would buy. Greed! And so, as some of you know, Jerry and Ester broke their contract with the producers and were no longer involved with this movie.

Abraham talks about this in a short video:

And so today I reflected on how much of my own beliefs are tied to my vibration, and I can pretty much conclude nearly 100%.

I've learned that we are all creators, and we are vibrational beings. We are more about electronics; we are more about electricity; we are more about vibration than we are about the physical stuff that we think we're about. This physical stuff that we think we're about is all vibrational.

No one can deny you or grant you anything. It all comes to you by virtue of your vibration.

Abraham has great advice regarding the vibrations that we offer, "Offer a vibration that matches your desire rather than offering a vibration that keeps matching what-is.

What you do is miniscule in comparison with what you choose to think, because your vibration is so much more powerful and so much more important."

Raised by CHILDREN

A lot of folks don't know this... but my father and mother were 15 and 14 when they conceived me. In this picture, they had just turned 16 and 15 a couple months before I was born. But look at them!!! It's unbelievable to me still.

Insane Birthday Party

Okay... so I took one of my best friends Heather (arm around me below) to a fun birthday party last night. I've been to "college" parties/birthday parties before, but this one definitely takes the cake, for pure craziness.

The birthday girl, Makia (with the pirate hat on), was so crazy. I had no idea.. I loved it! Her roommates surprised her with a stripper... whom she completely mauled! The guy didn't have a clue what to do. It was the more insane thing I've seen. At once point the stripped mentioned to his buddy/body guard and some other guys that were there, "I feel like I'm in a cage."

Dad's Pad

Well, my father is definitely off to a new start in life. He's been out of prison now for over 2 months and it seems like it's taking some time to adjust to "normal" life again. I can only imagine!

He got a place of his own finally... but waaay up in the mountains! How peculiar - took me forever to get to. It's a cute place, one bedroom, one bath and a one car garage. His landlord is into trains and built this elaborate train track with a train that can haul a couple full size adults around.

I took a few pictures.

Mind over matter!

Today, no matter where I'm going and no matter what I am doing, it is my dominant intent to see that which I am wanting to see.

Judo vs. BJJ

I'm about to start cross training in BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), so was on youtube checkin stuff out. I love the throwing in Judo so I think that may be the sport I compete in mostly, but BJJ will only compliment my ground work. This short flick is a Judo player (white) against BJJ (blue).


OH... and I had to add this video, just cause this little 9yo girl kicks ass!! This video is all Judo, and mostly Ne Waza (grappling, not throwing). But just shows how good these kids get at such an early age.

Whenever I get to class early I get to watch the juniors class finishing up.. mostly 5-10 year olds. It's great to watch.

A Self Empowering Message

This is a clip from the original movie/documentary "The Secret". This movie was really my first introduction to Abraham. As Ester would speak throughout the entire film chills were sent down my spine. Everything she said resonated with me, like nothing before.

WORLD PEACE!!

It's funny cause anytime I hear those two words... I think a Miss America pageant. ha ha Right? "... and world peace!"

Of course... my Abraham blog entry of the day.... but really, Abraham said it so perfectly!

"World peace, means one mindset big enough to make the decisions about what everybody else wants, and the rest of the world conforming. That is the ultimate definition of world peace. You say, "Oh, let's get along!" And what each of you mean is, "You do what I want." A peaceful world means, "Everybody wanting what I want. Going along with what I want." And the only problem with that is, there are more than one of you, and you have endless desires that are born within you.

The ultimate experience is, everyone having their experience and launching their individual rockets of desire, and the Universe yielding to all of them simultaneously. And everybody not worrying about what anybody else created, and so, then allowing what they are wanting. What a world that is, when there are endless desirers, who are allowing the fulfillment of their own desires."

Who's side is God on?

Grrr... I get in a bad mood sometimes... this would be that time! LOL

I'm tired of hearing people thank GOD for helping them win an award, or win a game, or help them defeat an enemy (i.e. in war). GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!!

Anyone who thinks god is on their side is a complete fool. How asinine to believe that god would take sides in any earthly matters. What a trivial mind to believe something so idiotic! GOD is not helping anyone defeat anyone! The only one that can ever defeat any of you is yourself. And it sounds like many have done a pretty good job of that too! LOL

Be Happy - for my sake!

"The best thing you could do for anyone that you love, is be happy!

And the very worst thing that you could do for anyone that you love, is be unhappy, and then ask them to to try to change it, when there is nothing that anybody else can do that will make you happy.

If it is your dominant intent to hold yourself in vibrational harmony with who you really are, you could never offer any action that would cause anybody else to be unhappy." - Abraham

Thought of the Day

"To change one's life: Start Immediately. Do it flamboyantly. No exceptions." - William James

More fun, less struggle

2007 has been quite the year for me on a number of fronts. But mostly because I've taken my life back in full force. I no longer feel a slave to my job, or my home, or to friends or certain social expectations. I'm content with life how it is, yet I believe I can have so much more... and ironically it's all starting to happen!

I came across a quote today that said, "Reduce your workload by 30% and increase your fun load by 30% and you will increase your revenues by 100%. And you will increase your productivity by 10,000%. (If there could be such a percentage.) More fun, less struggle -- more results on all fronts."

BRILLIANT!
That's exactly what I've been doing this year, and it works!!

Not kidding people, it works. The more I enjoy my life and have fun with it, the more I've learned to love my work as well, and I do better at it. Seems like a simple concept... cause it is.

Much Love!

Across the Universe

Happy Columbus Day!

Went to see ACROSS THE UNIVERSE...
... and was completely surprised. I will DEFINITELY own this video, and highly recommend it to any and all of my friends. It's wonderful. Here's the preview!

Scared of Toronto!

How about this for irony...

The same day I buy my plane tickets to Toronto my sister sends me this video. (WARNING: Do not view if you're offended easily by nudity.) I immediately sent this to my friend Matt and asked if I need to be concerned about being on the streets of Toronto. HA HA HA

Yay Toronto!

I'm very excited today. I just booked my flight to Toronto to go and visit my friend Matt. I met Matt MANY MANY years ago when he was still living back home in Sydney. He moved out to Toronto (when I was in Vermont) and we finally got to meet in person. He's one of the very few I've stayed in touch with over the years and a great guy. I can hardly wait to see him again and meet his boyfriend of what... 6+ years, Todd.


Plus the timing of this trip worked out real nice, as I'm joining Matt & Todd on a road trip to Montreal for the weekend. Very exciting. What's funny, is here's the only picture I have of Matt & Todd from 2006. You can probably guess that Matt's the goof in back. ;-)

Everything is really so very all right!

If you knew everything was really all right, and that it always has a happy ending, then you would not feel trepidacious about your future.

Everything is really so very all right!

If you could believe and trust that, then, immediately everything would automatically and instantly become all right.

Miss Teen South Carolina Calls 911

Baby's everywhere!

All of my friends (including my own brother) are having children. I'm so jealous!

I knew I always wanted a child (or two) since my early 20's. Even when Marcus and I were dating and he was so avid against even the thought of children even 10+ years down the road I pretty much gave in to the thought of never having them.

Sure, life would be easier, that's for sure. But I can't even imagine all the joys of rearing children. Adoption or otherwise, I'm pretty sure this is going to be part of my future over the next few years before I turn 40. WHEW I guess I have nine (9) years to plan! HA HA
