Yeah, that's why I like to use The Work and Abraham stuff together. The Work just lets us release stressful thoughts.
Letting go of the conditioning ... they're all programs that have been written into us. Just because the world keeps repeating the message "You need to work hard at school ... you need loads of qualifications .. etc" to make it out there, it doesn't mean it's true.
Undoing the conditions that keep us from what we desire is most of the work. For what we believe we create, and the world mirrors our thinking.
I was listening to the original Law of Attraction - Abraham CDs. They are great because they cover the basics. Going back to the basics from time to time really helps.
