Abraham on Food/Eating/Slimming
Hi Beth, only just saw your blog. Thought you might find the following useful.
Abraham Workshop extract - San Diego, Ca 1/14/06

I want to talk about food because I love food I love sauces and I love all kinds
of things that normally,. that statistics say that are fattening and all this
and bad for you. So is it possible to get into a state of perfect alignment
that you could eat anything and drink anything, if it was done with pure joy and
with pure appreciation, that your physical body would not be affected in any way
and that you would stay healthy?
Abe: Well you know that. *laughter and applause* .the answer. we will wait for them
to get over this. *much laughter*
You know that the answer to that has to be YES! Because you see different
people having different results from same food. So you know there has to be
another factor. And there always is another factor. And that other factor
always is your vibrational relationship.
Lets say that you've identified something that you want to eat , you have split
energy about it because you want it because it tastes good and you want it
because it's social maybe and you want it because it's available. you want it.
But you don't believe it's good for you. So you want it but you don't want it.
In other words, I want this thing I shouldn't eat. There's a tremendous amount
of split energy in that. And it is from that vibrational vantage point that
most people are eating most things. So let's just begin by saying that when you
get into a place of vibrational alignment then everything that you eat will
benefit your body in a more powerful way. Now what we notice happening is that
as you make your alignment more important to you than the action. as you say
"I'm going to get into vibrational alignment and then I'll take action" Often
your action begins to vary as you receive inspiration for what you are wanting.
Now here is what we really want to say to you, this is a very big topic. So
you've heard us say that through the contrasting experience you've been
launching many things into your vibrational escrow, so, you eat something that
you like and you want more of it and you eat something you don't like and you
don't want more of it and you taste things that done taste good and even though
they are touted as healthy, and you launch a rocket relative to that, so you're
launching rockets into vibrational escrow that say things like, I want things
that taste good, I want things that are pleasing, I want things that are
healthy. I want my body to feel good. I want to do whats best for my body. I
want to do things that are socially accepted maybe? In other words, there are
all kinds of responses that you are having to live that are causing you to
launch these rockets. And source is receiving all of them and has already
vibrationally become them and now you're urges and cravings when you are a
vibrational match to your source energy will lead you right to those things that
satisfy all of that. In other words it is absolutely possible to find
enormously satisfying food that meets all of the other criteria. But if you are
saying could I choose something that I have always believe or that I've come
recently to believe that here is so much data around it to believe that it is
not a healthy thing could I eat that and still be healthy and the answer to that
is NO. You can not be healthy when you eat something that you believe is not
healthy to eat.
So it's all about shifting your vibration.
Guest: But isn't it up to me to decide what is healthy on my own and not on the
statistics.
Abe: YES, and that is really what we are teaching. But it's easier for you to
close the gap by finding action that matches your beliefs than it is for you to
change those beliefs. In a culture where there is so much mass consciousness
moving in opposing directions. But you see that is really what we are teaching
isn't it? We want you to disregard the opposing directions of mass consciousness
and chart your own course and listen to one signal and that is really what your
question allows us to speak most powerful about. And if you've been listening
we bring it up over and over again. So your life causes you to want health and
to want things that are satisfying and to want all kinds of things that the
non-physical part of you has already become. So now you're being called toward
that.
So you get an impulse about something if you are listening because of all the
other subjects that you are practicing it on, if your practicing paying
attention to the way you feel when you say these words or think these thoughts
or take this action, and if you've been practicing taking the path of least
resistance which is letting your self find as much relief as you can. Then
what begins to happen is this one signal that is such a powerful loud dominate
calling, literally drowns out everything else that is out there. But it really
takes a decision. First of all it takes the decision that says "I know that
source is aware of me and I know that all of my intentions have been noted. And
I know that information is being offered to me and I know I have the ability to
hear it. In other words, you really have to get to that place first before your
then ready to not listen to that one and that one and that one..
We are surprised any of you can find anything to eat, because somebody has
written a book about everything about why you should not eat it.
Guest:
Yes and that brings up the very first time I came across this, was when I went
to a meditation class early on in my conscious evolution. The teacher said stop
drinking caffeine and I was like Hell no! Because I love the smell of coffee, I
love to make it in the morning, I love for it to wake me up, I love to put my
sugar in it, and I love to put my cream in it. And the Joy of drinking that
seemed to far override like the chiding of some teacher over here on the side.
Abe:
Well here is something else we want to give you and we are not wanting to upset
any teachers that are trying to get you to take specific action. But we really
want you to understand that your body is like a chemical factory, that has the
ability to extract from your diet what it wants and needs. You have such an
ability to compensate. In other words physicians and scientist haven't even
begun to explore the chemistry that goes on in the digestive system of a human
body. In other words they are not even close to understanding and the thing we
would like you to understand from our point of view, that chemistry is so much
more effected by your vibrational gap than it is by what you are eating that it
makes what you are eating close to irrelevant but if you are not tending to the
emotional gap then you might want to tend what your. it's sort of an analogy.
Analogies are never perfect because they some times leave you hanging out here
in some raw and ragged place.
But it would be like saying I am taking driving lessons every single day so I
can become a really proficient manager of this vehicle. And we say that is all
well and good but if you are not in a good mood you ought not to be driving. In
other words, all the skill in the world is not going to necessarily put you in
the place of being sensitive to what's happening out there in traffic.
Where if you are tuned in, tapped in, turned on, if you are intuitive, if you
are in alignment with broader perspective, then your impulses are better, then
your view is longer. And a similar thing happens with your body, when you're
tuned in, tapped in, turned on, your factory just works better.
And there are so many people who are depriving themselves of this and this and
this.. And in that angst they are widening their gap, and not closing their gap
and then they are not receiving the benefit from what they ARE eating. So
here' the bottom line in all this, make friends with your food, whatever it is
that you are eating. Never eat something in a place of believing you should not
eat it. If you are going to eat it, make friends with it first.
