Deliberately Choose Thoughts That Feel Good
by Jerry and Esther
Hicks
The Art of Allowing, is
deliberately choosing thoughts that feel good, with an ear to how the
thought feels as it evolves within you. The Art of Allowing, is wanting
so much to feel good, that whether you are perusing the past or the
present or the future, you’re deliberately looking for the best-feeling
thought that you can find. And as you choose the best-feeling thought
and practice it until it becomes a sort of natural feeling within you,
then more and more of that which you want flows to you.
There is not a source of
illness and there is not a source of poverty and there is not a source
of darkness. You know that. You don’t say, “The sun came up this morning
and brought the light and the blob came up tonight and brought the
darkness.” You understand that there is a Source that can be muted or
resisted or disallowed and that’s how it is with Well-Being. Well-Being
is natural to you.
Comparatively speaking,
proportionately speaking, Well-Being is so huge and the lack of it is so
small. So how does lack of Well-Being get such a foothold in anyone’s
experience? It all has to do with the vibrational airtime you give it.
In other words, the more you look for reasons to feel good, the more you
find the vibration of that. And the more you find the vibration of that,
the more Law of Attraction brings you other things that match it.
Haven’t you noticed that sometimes you can get on a positive roll? And
haven’t you noticed that sometimes you can get on a negative roll? When
you get focused upon something that doesn’t feel good – Law of
Attraction will bring you more things like it.
As humans become more
observers and less deliberate thinkers, then you can get more of what-is
and less of what you are wanting. In other words, most people offer a
tremendous amount of their vibrational outpouring in response to what
they are observing. And that’s why you want so much to control the
circumstances around you. When you look at circumstances that make you
feel good, it feels good. When you look at circumstances that don’t make
you feel good, it doesn’t feel good. And then you say, “We’ve got to do
something about controlling these circumstances. We need more laws. We
need more rules. We need to contain the others. We need more parental
guidance. We need more governmental control. We need more protection
against this and this and this.”
And what we want you to
realize, is that there is no protection against a vibration that you
achieve, because Law of Attraction says, that which is like unto itself
is drawn. So, if you look at that thing that you want, often and you
talk about it and you say yes to it, then you achieve vibrational
harmony with it – and it must come into your experience.
But when you look at that
thing that you don’t want and you shout no at it, it must come into your
experience, because this is a Universe based upon attraction – it is all
about inclusion. There is no exclusion in an attraction-based Universe.
Every time you spend time
looking at something unwanted, you just practice the vibration that
attracts it to you. That’s why diseases get worse after diagnosis,
usually, for awhile, until somebody convinces you that there is a remedy
that you can focus upon.
Our encouragement to you
is that you make a decision today and practice it every day from now on,
that says: I am one who makes the best of every situation.
When you are making the
best of something, no matter how bad it is, it’s got to get better. And
as it gets a little better and you still make the best of it, it’s got
to get better. And as it’s still not very good, but you’re making the
best of it – it’s got to get better.
Sometimes, you catch
yourself deliberately making the worst of something and exaggerating
your problem. And we know where you got that. When you were little, you
had to plead a pretty needy case to your parents who appeared to be the
vortex through which all your Well-Being came. And when you said, “I
really want something,” their answer was often, “But you don’t need
that. “ And so, you developed, very carefully, deliberately calculated
patterns of expressing need to those that you believed were the givers
of the goods. “I neeeed it! See how I’m suffering without it?” And we
say, it might have worked a little bit with your parents as you eked out
a mediocre improved life, but it does not work with the Universe that
has the ability to grant all desires.
Whatever it is you are
achieving vibrational harmony with is what you are living. If you ever
want to know what the vibrational content of your outpouring is, just
look at the manifesting around you, because the manifesting around you
is always a perfect Vibrational Match to the vibration that is dominant
within you.
You are here because you
are wanting to really be Deliberate Creators. And we want you to know
that a Deliberate Creator is really a deliberate feeler. A Deliberate
Creator is one who says, “I want so much to feel good, because when I
feel good, I’m in alignment with that which is my Source.” A Deliberate
Creator does not demand that circumstances change so that you can have a
better-feeling response to the circumstances. A Deliberate Creator says,
“I will choose – from what seems to be available – the very best-feeling
thought, past, present or future, that I can find and I will fixate on
it until it becomes the reason for my vibrational offering. And I know
that Law of Attraction will then accumulate around that vibrational
offering. And then, I will reach for the better thought and the better
thought and the better thought.” And what you will discover is that
there is always a better thought.
There is always an
even-happier thought than the happy thought you’re thinking now. There
is always even a better feeling – your capacity to achieve a better
feeling is unlimited.
Source expands to the
desire that is produced within you. So you said, “I love the idea of
going forth into this physical time-space-leading-edge-reality on Planet
Earth. I love the idea of the variety that is there. I love the idea of
all of the others that I will co-create with. And together, we will, for
one another, stimulate new ideas – new ideas that have never been before
unto all of the Universe. And with each new idea that is born, I know
that Source has the resources to flood to my new idea. All I have to do
is flow with my new idea, too.”
So, you stand in this
place where contrast produces a desire within you – an unfulfilled
desire – a desire that has not yet been manifested. And if you will, in
the moment of the new, fresh desire being born, turn your attention to
the new idea and think about how it will be and feel the refreshment of
the new idea, then Source flows through you and to you, through you and
to you, through you and to you, in this life-giving format. But if the
contrast stimulates you to the new idea and then you stand where you
are, looking at where you stand and you say, “Oh, I want this new thing,
but look where I stand in relationship to it. I feel so far from this
new thing that I want.” Now you’re beating the drum of what-is. And when
you beat the drum of what-is, you are vibrationally resistant to the new
idea.
So, the Art of Allowing is
about recognizing the fresh, newness of the new idea and as quickly as
possible achieving vibrational alignment with the new idea. Deliberate
Creating at its best.
Every time you practice
the beating of the drum of something desired – Law of Attraction brings
it closer. But every time you beat the drum of what-is, Law of
Attraction holds it to you. There is much about your life that you want
to keep – So beat those drums.
There is much in your life
you want to keep – So beat those drums.
Every day we hear Jerry
and Esther talking about the perfection of their life. On and on and on
and on, they go. They have a motor coach that they travel in that
delights them so much, because it is home away from home but always
feeling as if they are home and they talk about how wonderful it is over
and over and over and over. Anyone not understanding, listening to them,
would think they had gone mad as they recount to one another how lovely
this is and how good that is and how much they appreciate this.
When you find things that
you appreciate and you use them as your point of focus, your world has
to get better on all other fronts.
You could have 99 things
going wrong in your life and one thing going right and if you would beat
the drum of that one thing going right, the other 99 would either have
to go away or improve, because Law of Attraction cannot abide in your
vibration something that does not match.
You cannot feel good and
be sick at the same time. You cannot appreciate something and blame
something at the same time.
As you begin to practice,
with a deliberate orientation, your vibration that feels good while you
practice it, your life has to get better – Law of Attraction says that
it must.
