Animals ARE pure source energy, and they help us find alignment with ours. When my 17 year old Springer, Muggins, died, I KNEW she was relishing being in the flow of the nonphysical again. And I believe she helped guide me to my current Springer, Ducky, who is my primary tour guide for the Land of Feeling Good. :)

I agree with what Ande wrote, Greg. That's my perspective on it. Exactly.

People have accused Abraham of encouraging people to be "selfish," and Abraham happily concurs. What other perspective can a person hold than that of his/her self? And if a person isn't sufficiently selfish to want to feel emotionally good and choose the thoughts that will make that happen, they are going about life with a huge disadvantage and little of substance to model or offer others.

The notion that we have to sacrifice something we want or like in order to get something that is better for ourselves or others has been dramatically updated by Abraham. They insist that we can "be, do, or have" anything we choose. It's not about giving anything up to get something better. It's about aligning our mental focus so that we can have it all.

With regard to your example -- correct, I'd say no need to ever run into anything like that in a parking lot and have to make a tough decision about what to do. Tune to an emotional frequency that won't have you rendezvousing with "victims" and perpetrators. That's their drama. It doesn't have to be yours.

The greatest gift of all: keep your mental focus predominantly on what you want, live a life of thriving, and inevitably share that example with the whole wide world.

I'm going to stick my two cents in on Greg's comment. I understand your point, Great. But I have two thoughts about it. First, the notion that we have to sacrifice to achieve our highest good or purpose is a concept that has been drummed into us by societal and religious conventions. TRULY achieving our highest good involves aligning with our nonphysical self, and that involves finding reasons to feel good because we came here to experience joy, not to suffer. Second, courage is defined as "the power or quality of dealing with or facing danger, fear, pain, etc." Would we need courage, as it's generally defined, if we used the power of our intentional focus to create joy for ourselves and others? Can we only help others once they're in trouble? Or could we, by the power of our focus, inspire others to align with their best selves and experience joy?

Well, I mean, like if I was in a parking lot late at night and I saw some gang members attaching a women as she got in her car way on the other side of the parking lot, courage would mean that I would get involved to help her and risk my well being in order to help her. Not something that I would do out of pleasure or because I really wanted to but because it was the "right" thing to do and tha it was helping someone who couldnt help themselves. It would involve courage. I bring it up because sometimes when I read the short quips about just think happy thoughts and all will be well, it doesnt cover such things in life that are a little me detailed and omplicated. I know its hard to to the hypothetical and you could say well, because of your thoughts you were in that predicament so to speak but sometimes it seems like we need to sacrafice in order to achieve some higher good or purpose that will bring greater joy to all, not just myself.

Exactly! We don't have to look where the media aims its lights. Thanks, Ande.

Thanks for your question, Greg. Could you be a little more specific so I have more to go on?

This is a great post!!! Excellent discussion of the vibrational underpinnings of the disasters that have dominated our news of late.

I've noticed that most people love to go around saying, "Isn't it terrible what happened in Haiti," and now "It's it just awful what happened in Chile."

My mother likes to say, "Can you imagine how awful it would have been to ...." fill in the blank with whatever disaster is in the news.

Instead of engaging in these conversations, we can be thinking, "Isn't it wonderful how peaceful my backyard is." When you look at the world as a whole, the vast majority of it is doing just fine, thank you. But Abraham's right--the media spotlights the trouble spots.

We don't have to look where the media aims its lights.

Karen, Do we ever have need for courage in the world that Abraham talks about? ever a time when we are to put aside our fears and do what we know is right even when doing so might not be in our best interests?
