Guest: - I'm sick of my life!
And I'm ready to...
Abraham: - Well, tell us what you really think!
[audience and guest laughs]
Can I give you just a quick detail?
Okay!
I'm 30...
I'm... 40!
[The audience laughs]
Abraham: - We can read your mind but we never squeal!
[The audience laughs]
Guest: - And I'm single
I have a lousy job
I'm getting paid 8 bucks an hour and I'm living with my mother
Abraham: - There's no hope for you! Go back to your seat!
[The audience and guest laughs]
Well, if you were feeling along this emotional scale
Guest: - Yeah!
Abraham: - What emotion would you use to describe the way you feel?
Does it feel like ecstasy or despair?
We know it neither one
But closer to which?
Despair!
Does it feel like despair or frustration?
Guest: - Is there a slot in between?
Abraham: - There are many, but which way does it lean: despair or frustration?
Guest: - Today, I think I'm frustrated!
Abraham: - We can feel that! But don't you think frustration is a better label than despair?
Audience: - Yes!
Abraham: - In other words, she's complaining, but she's laughing.
So, does it feel like frustration or anger?
Guest: - Frustration.
Abraham: - And so, you have to start setting some different things into your statements
You have to start talking more about what you want
And less about where you are
It really is that simple!
So, from this place of frustration, now, give us some words
You gave us some good words already!
"I'm 30ish!"
[The audience and guest laughs]
"And single and not making enough money and..."
"not living where I want to live!"
So, now, try to find some statement that gives you some relief from that
Now, here's the thing that we really want you all to hear
This is the magic!
There is no magic, this is the logic!
But it will feel like magic to your experience!
You can't sit in here today, find a new place to live
Especially the one you'd like
And be able to afford it instantaneously
And have someone who you adore waiting there for you all at once
In other words, you can't sit here today and make that happen
But you can sit here today and take a little bit of an emotional journey
Which will change your vibrational frequency
Which will change your point of attraction as soon as later today
It only takes a few days of shifting your point of attraction
Before things start coming into your experience
And then it gets really fun because you say
"I can feel that this came because I took the emotional journey."
Now, we want to be clear about what we mean by an emotional journey
Emotional journey as opposed to the physical journey
The action journey that most of our physical friends are more accustomed to
Would go something like: "I only make $8 an hour"
"I'd like to make $50 an hour"
"But in order to do that..."
"I've got to either find some very giving entrepreneur..."
"Who has no sense of the market value of me."
[The audience and guest laughs]
"Or I need to get into some sort of class that will give me some sort of label..."
"That will give me some sort of status."
"Or I have to, with my $8 buy enough lottery tickets that I..."
In other words, the action journey, the physical journey is this "what I need to do"
And usually you that bogged down in that because you've already had enough life experience
That most of those ideas you just discount even as you come up with them
What the emotional journey says, right here, right now:
"I would like to replace the frustration of not enough money with a feeling of hopefulness..."
"... that I can make more."
"I want to replace the feeling of not yet finding my perfect partner..."
"...To the hopefulness or maybe even expectation that there is someone out there."
The emotional journey is just shifting how you feel
And you can shift how you feel in any moment in time that you decide that you want to shift how you feel
The thing that's been happening with so many of you is: you haven't known the power of that
You haven't understood the power of shifting how you feel
How do you think the rich get richer?
The rich get richer because they feel rich
They don't feel frustrated about money
They don't worry about money
The person that is in love maintains a magnificent relationship
Because he or she is in love, you see?
So, many of you say: "well, sure I'd be in love if I had somebody to be in love with."
"Or I'd feel rich if I had plenty of money."
And we say: we know you would, but you've got to find the feeling first
Take the emotional journey first
And therefore queue up your vibration
And Law of Attraction will take care of the rest.
It is our absolute promise to you
So, pick any point of that...
That you want to. Any of the points that you brought up
Because they are different points
In other words, a person might feel one way about love and another way about money
And another way about health
In other words, you have different emotional set points depending upon how you have approached life
So, pick the one that you want to start with
And let's move up the emotional scale
Guest: - The money thing.
Abraham: - Alright! So, how do you feel about money?
Does it feel like frustration or does it feel fear?
Guest: - Frustration.
Abraham: - We want to ask all of you
Which feels better: fear or anger?
Audience: - Anger.
Abraham: - It does, doesn't it?
Why?
Because in fear you feel more powerless
Which feels better: blame or guilt?
Audience: - Blame.
Abraham: - Infinitely better!
[The audience and guest laughs]
Abraham: - We've been trying to explain that to your mother for years.
[The audience and guest laughs]
Because there is less control in guilt, isn't there?
There's more power in blame
So, this thing about money, does it feel like frustration or fear?
We're not trying to put words in your mouth. Where does it feel?
Guest: - Frustration.
Abraham: - Alright! So from your place of frustration
Talk to us about your money situation
Just briefly, so that we can ascertain that that truly is the set point from which we are beginning
Just ramble about how you feel
Guest: I just can say it sucks! It makes me mad!
It feels like I don't know how to get from $8 an hour to something that feels happier.
I feel trapped! I feel like stuck in it!
Abraham: - Does trapped and frustration follow or is trapped deeper and denser than frustration?
Guest: - Yes.
Abraham: - There's more disempower in trap
"I'm stuck!"
You said: "I hate it!"
So, you're somewhere south of frustration.
[Some laughs]
So, now we would say your set-point is in this place of anger
And so now reach for an emotion that is somewhere up the emotional scale from where you are
In other words, if we were standing in your physical shoes
We would reach for a little blame
Because it feels to us that you're even a little bit south of blame
Reach for some feelings of blame just for fun
And see if it doesn't make you personally feel better
Guest: - I don't get it!
We want you to just start making some statements
That let you off the hook about your rotten financial state of affairs
Guest: - Really?
[The audience laughs]
Abraham: - Well, we don't think you can jump to bliss. It would be a sort of quantum leap
Guest: - Yeah
Abraham: - And from where it feels to us that you are
We think you'll find some relief in blame
We could be wrong...
We never are!
[The audience laughs]
But try it!
Now you see what's happening with her?
She's not accustomed to doing that
In other words, you've been taught
"Take responsibility!"
"Don't try to cast blame somewhere"
You have even been taught not to offer any anger
But look where that gets you!
That gets you trying to please somebody else
And it gets you not understanding your own emotional guidance scale
And it gets you stuck right here for a really long time
Guest: - Yeah!
Abraham: - So try offering a little feeling of blame
And see if it doesn't break something loose within you
Just try!
"I should have been guided differently when I was younger"
"If I'd known how important money was, I would have done something differently about the way I am..."
"The economy really should be better!"
"I am really a capable person!"
"I should be paid more for what I do!"
"There should be much better wages out there for someone like me, who contributes infinitely."
In other words, doesn't that feel a little blameful?
We're blaming your mother. We're blaming the economy. We're blaming the school system.
Guest: - Yeah! That's good! Abraham: - In other words...
[The audience laughs]
Abraham: - And in doing so, do you feel any relief at all?
Did it let you off the hook in any way?
Guest: - Yeah. Because I didn't feel quite so much like a failure.
Abraham: - Yes!
So, in that feeling of relief, what's happened is your vibration has shifted a little bit
So, now you're standing in a different place
Different opportunities are now available to you
That were not available to you just a little bit ago
Because you took an emotional journey, you get it?
Guest: - Yeah!
Abraham: - Good!
All right! Now that did feel a little bit like hopefulness?
It feels a little bit like "why didn't I figure this out sooner?"
It feels a little bit like "I wanted it to be easier..."
"And I'm not sure how easy this is going to be."
But we definitely feel (do you?) the vibration of hope!
All right! Now, let's beat the drum of hope a little bit
Just beat that drum
We'll give you a game that really works well with hope
It's called "The wouldn't it be nice game"
Wouldn't it be nice if this really worked?
Wouldn't it be nice if I shifted some vibration just now?
Wouldn't it be nice if something would open up for me and I could make $10 an hour?
Wouldn't it be nice if I could start meeting some people...
...and even if it's not the perfect one, I would be able to sniff that the trail is getting a little better?
Wouldn't it be nice if I could shift the way I feel as much as I just did again?
Wouldn't it be nice if I could really get the hang of this?
Won't it be nice when a little more money starts flowing to me?
Won't it be fun when I am able to actually see the difference that I've made?
Isn't it gonna be fun when two or three weeks down the road something happens and I say:
"I know why this happened! I know why this happened!"
[The audience laughs]
I sat there in that chair, it was embarrassing.
I did it in front of people. I cared so much...
I shifted the way I feel. I'm in a different place and things are changing in my life
Do you feel how far you've come already?
GUEST: - Yeah! ABRAHAM: - You see?
Guest: - Yeah!
Abraham: - This is the work!
There's no right or wrong way. You just try to figure out where you are
And then you beat the drum of where you are until you're pretty sure that that's where you are
And then you just try to reach for something that feels a little better
And when it feels better, you say: "yes!"
"Yes! I'm in the life giving range of rage!"
Guest: - Okay!
[The audience laughs]
And as friends say to you: "You shouldn't be mad!"
Say to them: "just go away! It will be better for you!"
"I'm happy here for now!"
Guest: - Okay!
Abraham: - "And I don't plan on staying here, I'm gonna move right into frustration!"
"But you won't like me then anyway neither so stay clear for a while!"
"It might take me weeks to get into frustration!"
"It might take me even longer to get into bliss!"
"So, you might want to stay clear. I'll call you when I'm there!"
[The audience laughs]
Very good!
We have enjoyed this immensely!
