So the better you feel, the more in alignment with the expanded version of you you are. And we want so much for you to hear those words: the expanded version of you. Because there is not someone outside of you dictating who you should be or what you should do. It is only that your own life experience has caused you—intricately, definitely, specifically, and incrementally—to give birth to these rockets of desires. And as you do so, the larger part of you becomes it. Do you see how it works?
At all times, you have this guidance within you—your emotional guidance system—that lets you know the vibrational relationship between who you’re being right now (this red-hot minute, because of what you’re giving your attention to) and who you really are. That vibrational relationship—and it’s constant feedback that you are given in the form of emotions—will help you understand, in every moment, the thing that matters more to you than all other things put together. It lets you know how much you are allowing yourself to become who you really are.
And if you are, in any moment, not allowing yourself to be who—life, all of this life, life before you were born into this body, life since you have been born, life as a result of everything that you’ve lived, and the new becoming—if you are not allowing yourself to become or to be, or at least to move in the direction of that which you have become, you don’t feel so good.
We’ve written a book a while back and gave it the best title that has ever been given to any book, anytime, anywhere, because it tells the whole story in the title. And the book is called Ask and It Is Given. When you ask, it is given—every single time, no exception. It is given. It is given by the resources of Source. It is given. And Law of Attraction begins responding to that request in such a powerful way that it creates a current—that if you are paying attention at all—you can feel the calling of this new and improved, evolved, eternal you that has become as a result of that which you are living here in physical form.
It is our powerful desire that you do not underestimate the importance of your leading-edge being. You are not someone here to prove worthiness, trying to catch up with some non-physical perspective. There is not some God who stands in perfection, who is now testing you to see if you’ve got the stuff that you can be there, too. You are an extension of that energy. You are the leading-edge extension—the pioneer out here, exploring contrast for the purpose of coming to the new conclusion, which is responsible for the expansion of the universe.
Some of you have been hearing about Law of Attraction—yes—and Law of Attraction is the most powerful law in the universe. Law of Attraction says that which is like unto itself is drawn. And what it means is, when you offer a vibrational signal, other vibrational signals that match it must come to you. It is law.
So when life causes you to know that you want more money, and you beat the drum of, “I don’t have enough money. I don’t have enough money, and I’m really tired of not having enough money. In fact, I’ve never had enough money. I hardly know anybody that has enough money—except that guy over there, who has way more money than he deserves. Probably inherited it from somebody. Probably killed somebody. Probably deals drugs. It’s not right that I don’t have enough money!”—you cannot be the drummer of not enough money and be a vibrational match to the money—not only that you are asking for, but the money that the non-physical part of you has literally vibrationally become.
When you ask for more money—and you have for a long time—or more of anything, when you ask for an improved life experience and you give birth to these rockets of desires, there is an amassing of these amendments to your desires. And the Source Energy part of you continually keeps up with the new requests and melds each and every request that you make into this magnificent point of attraction.
Do you understand a point of attraction? A point of attraction means a vibrational signal that emanates—that Law of Attraction responds to and matches with things like it. Law of Attraction says, when you radiate a signal by virtue of what you’re giving your attention to, as that signal emanates from you, Law of Attraction calls to it all other signals that match it. It is the reason that you set your radio dial on 6:30 AM to hear what’s being broadcast from 6:30 AM—the frequencies must match up.
So if you are offering a vibrational frequency—“I don’t have enough money”—when you’ve been asking for plenty of money, you are preventing the very money you are asking for to come to you. But there is a much bigger story about Law of Attraction, and this is the thing we so want you to hear.
So do you sort of understand that you are an eternal being—that you were this energy before you came forth into this physical body? And can you hear us when we say that that larger, non-physical part of you still remains non-physically focused, and Law of Attraction is responding to that part, too?
So can you understand that this vibrational escrow that we’re talking about is a vibrational beingness? It is literally a vibrational embodiment of the furthest, most extension that you have become. So there it be’s. And guess what? Law of Attraction is responding to it. So all of the things that you’ve been asking for—this new and improved version of everything that you have been living—is offering a signal because the Source within you is tending to it and radiating it, offering that signal, and Law of Attraction is responding powerfully to that signal.
So what does that mean to you in your physical form? You’re here. You’re thinking about something. You’re offering a signal. Who you have become is offering a signal. And just for point of clarification—which signal do you think is the most powerful? This one that is eternally being offered by you? Or this one?
We may have given you a small hint there, but we want you to really understand that this part of you is offering this powerful signal, and Law of Attraction is responding to that powerful signal—which means Law of Attraction is calling in all things that are a vibrational match to this evolved version of you, that which you have become. And you know what that feels like to you? That feels like a river, or a current, or a stream that is pulling, pulling, pulling, pulling.
In other words, you can feel the sensation of this call of Source if you’re paying attention to it at all. Campbell said, “Follow your bliss. Follow your bliss.” And that’s what he is talking about. That’s what that bliss is. But sometimes, depending on the drum you’re beating, you can’t get a whiff of bliss.
It’s calling eternally—always there, bright and bold and big—and responded to by Law of Attraction, and always calling you. When you think about it, what would be a more natural thing to call toward the expanded version of you than you?
So what happens is, since this version of you is always calling you toward it, you feel that calling. And when you go, you feel good. When you don’t, you feel bad. When you worry about something, you’re pulling away from it. When you are optimistic, you’re moving toward it. When you are feeling appreciation, you’re right there with it. When you’re feeling love and joy and passion and eagerness, you’re right there—a vibrational match to who you really are.
But when you’re frightened, you are far from it. When you are depressed, you’re far from it. When you’re angry—not so far, but still far. When you’re optimistic—much closer. When you’re hopeful—not so close. When you’re doubtful—not so close. You can tell by the way you feel whether you, by virtue of what you are giving your attention to, are setting up a vibration that is flowing with who you really are—calling you together with who you are—or not.
So every emotion that you’ve ever felt is your indicator of your alignment—or not—of your allowing or resisting, of your being tuned and tapped and turned on—or not. Every emotion that you feel is some indication of where you are.
Somewhere along that—now, it’s not so important where you are along that—because the stream is always flowing to who you have become. And if you will but relax and allow yourself to move in the direction of the flow, then you will find yourself closing the gap. You will find yourself feeling better and better.
Everything that we teach, every book that we write, every process that we offer, is toward this endeavor of helping you to come deliberately and consciously into vibrational alignment with who you are. That’s the only place that you will ever discover freedom.
Today, we’re going to be talking about that vibrational relationship that you have with so many of your ideas—and the way you practice the emanating of it until you receive a manifestation. The manifestation is only a manifestation indicator of your vibration.
So often, something will happen—you’ll have a breakdown in your business, or in your relationship, or in your body—and you take it so seriously, as if everything that you’ve lived has caused you to come to this: “And here I am. I’ve lived all this life, and look where I am.” And we say, so what? All this condition is is an indicator of your pattern of vibration—which you can change.
Now, you could have several diagnoses that are deadly or threatening assigned to you—which are only indicators of where you are. You got this manifestation indicator of where you are and what you’ve been doing vibrationally. Do something different vibrationally, and the indicator must change.
And you say, “Well, what would I have to do?” We say, you’d have to begin flowing downstream. You’d have to begin feeling better.
“Yeah, but what would that get me?” Well, first of all, you’d feel better.
“Yeah, but what would that get me?” Well, you’d feel a lot better.
“Yeah, but—but what would that get me?” And we realize that we have a little bit of misunderstanding with so many of our physical friends who have forgotten that your purpose of life is joy. Feeling good is coming into alignment with the fullness of who you are.
So we see you, dear hearts—you take your boat down to the stream, and you put it in the water, and you point it upstream, and you begin paddling very hard. You get really good at it—strong muscles, determination, willpower. And we say, “Why not go with the flow?”
And our physical friends say, “Oh, that just seems lazy. Everyone I know is paddling very hard upstream. This is how we recognize the value in one another. How long can you keep it up? How long can you keep it up? How long can you keep it up?”
And often, they tell us that they have also heard that not only are all the statues and plaques and monuments made for those who struggle very hard (bestselling books all about that), but after death, that’s when the real rewards kick in.
They say—and we always listen kindly because we know that you are sincere about everything you tell us—but we have to say to you, friends, that nothing that you want is upstream. Not one thing that you want is upstream. And the reason that we know that is because we understand the momentum of the stream.
We know that you were Source Energy before you came forth into this body, and that you projected a part of yourself into this body, and that while here, the contrast causes you to become more—which the non-physical part of you becomes and embraces. And we know that Law of Attraction is responding to that further part of you—that leading-edge part of you. And we know that that is the strongest current in your universe.
We know that’s what causes a stream, and we know that everything that you want—or have ever wanted, or ever will want—will be contained in this vibrational escrow that is calling you. Everything that you want is this way. Everything that you want is downstream.
So some of you say, “Well, we’ve heard you, Abraham. You’ve been crowing about emotions. We hear you talking about the good-feeling ones—love and appreciation and joy—up here, where the perception of empowerment is. And we hear you talking about the not-so-good-feeling ones—like depression and fear—where the feeling of disempowerment is. And we hear you talking about all of those emotions in between. And we get it that we should be up there in the good-feeling emotion. So we’re just going to turn our boat in the stream, put a motor on it, and get down there where the good-feeling emotions are.”
And we say, you’ve missed the point of the stream if you think that you have to put a motor on your boat—because the stream is a very fast current.
Do you know that everything is thought before it is formed? Do you know that everything is thought and then form before it is manifestation? Do you understand that more than 99% of every creation is completed vibrationally before you see any physical evidence of it?
So when you realize that even the world that you know—as this very real thing that is turning in its orbit in perfect proximity to the other planets—it was an idea. It was an idea that was thought upon. It was an idea that was thought upon by that part of you that is non-physical. And now, you are continuing the creation of it from your physical format as well as from your non-physical format.
We are all in the state of eternal becoming. And when you are allowing yourself to move in the direction of who you really are—oh, life is so good. You don’t have to even get all the way to where you think you want to be. You just have to stop pulling against the current.
The emotion that we would encourage that you reach for is the emotion of relief. In other words, if you’re in depression and you let go of the oar—you’re not going to move into bliss immediately—you’ll probably move into revenge. But it’s a relief to you, isn’t it?
Your friends liked you better when you were depressed. You are a lot less trouble. But you know that you feel—don’t you feel better?
Have you ever been depressed, and then did you get mad? Doesn’t the anger serve you? Doesn’t anger feel better than the powerlessness that you felt before? And of course, we’re not wanting you to stay there.
If you were frustrated or overwhelmed, we would never coach you toward revenge—that’s going upstream. What you’re wanting to do is reach from where you are for the best-feeling thought that you can find from where you are—not the best thought you’ve ever thought, not the best feeling you’ve ever found—just something that feels a little better.
Every emotion that you feel—no matter what you think it is about—is about your relationship with you.
Understanding Your Expanded Self and Emotional Guidance: A Deep Dive into Personal Growth and the Law of Attraction
In this blog post, we will explore the profound concepts discussed in a recent podcast episode centered around personal growth, emotional guidance, and the law of attraction. The speaker, referred to as “Speaker 1,” delves into the idea of aligning with the “expanded version” of oneself, understanding the emotional guidance system, and the importance of focusing on positive emotions to attract desired experiences in life. This comprehensive guide will break down each tip in detail, offering actionable advice and thorough explanations to help you align with your true self and manifest your desires.
The Concept of the Expanded Self
What is the Expanded Self?
The expanded self is the version of you that emerges from your life experiences and desires. It is not dictated by external forces or societal expectations but is shaped by your personal journey. Each moment of your life contributes to the birth of new desires, which in turn shape the larger part of you. This process is continuous, and at all times, you possess an internal guidance system—your emotions—that provides feedback on your current state of being in relation to your true self.
How to Align with Your Expanded Self
Recognize Your Desires: Understand that every experience you have leads to the creation of new desires. Embrace these desires as they are the driving force behind your personal growth. Listen to Your Emotions: Your emotions are indicators of your alignment with your expanded self. Positive emotions signal alignment, while negative emotions indicate resistance.
Focus on Positive Thoughts**: By focusing on positive thoughts and feelings, you align yourself with the vibrational frequency of your expanded self.
The Emotional Guidance System
Understanding Your Emotional Guidance System
Your emotional guidance system is a vital tool that helps you understand the vibrational relationship between your present self and your expanded self. This relationship is constantly in flux, influenced by what you focus on in your daily life. When you feel good, it indicates that you are in alignment with your true self. Conversely, when you feel negative emotions, it signals that you are not allowing yourself to be who you truly are.
How to Use Your Emotional Guidance System
Identify Your Emotions: Pay attention to how you feel throughout the day. Your emotions provide valuable feedback on your alignment with your true self. Shift Your Focus: When you notice negative emotions, consciously shift your focus to thoughts that feel better. This helps you move toward alignment with your expanded self.
Practice Gratitude**: Cultivating a sense of gratitude can help you maintain a positive emotional state and align with your true self.
The Law of Attraction and Your Desires
What is the Law of Attraction?
The law of attraction is a fundamental principle that states that like attracts like. This means that the vibrational signals you emit will attract similar energies. For instance, if you focus on lack—such as not having enough money—you will continue to attract experiences that reinforce that lack. On the other hand, if you focus on abundance and the positive aspects of your financial situation, you will draw in more of what you desire.
How to Harness the Law of Attraction
Clarify Your Desires: Be clear about what you want to attract into your life. The more specific you are, the stronger the vibrational signal you emit. Visualize Your Desires: Spend time each day visualizing your desires as if they have already manifested. This helps you align with the vibrational frequency of your desires.
Maintain a Positive Mindset**: Focus on positive thoughts and feelings to attract similar energies into your life.
Vibrational Signals and Alignment
Understanding Vibrational Signals
Every thought you have emits a vibrational signal, and the law of attraction responds to these signals. To illustrate, consider tuning a radio to a specific frequency. If you want to hear a particular station, you must set your dial to match that frequency. Similarly, if you are focused on negative thoughts, you will attract more negativity. However, if you shift your focus to positive thoughts, you will align with the abundance and joy that you seek.
How to Align with Positive Vibrations
Monitor Your Thoughts: Be mindful of the thoughts you think throughout the day. Aim to focus on thoughts that feel good and align with your desires. Practice Affirmations: Use positive affirmations to reinforce your desired vibrational state. Repeat them daily to maintain alignment with your expanded self.
Surround Yourself with Positivity**: Engage in activities and surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you. This helps you maintain a positive vibrational state.
The Importance of Emotions
Emotions as Indicators
Your emotions serve as indicators of your alignment with your true self. They provide insight into whether you are moving toward or away from your desires. Positive emotions such as love, joy, and appreciation indicate that you are in alignment, while negative emotions like fear, anger, and depression suggest a disconnect.
How to Use Emotions as Guidance
Acknowledge Your Emotions: Recognize and accept your emotions without judgment. They are valuable indicators of your current vibrational state. Seek Relief: When experiencing negative emotions, aim to find thoughts that provide relief. This helps you move toward a more positive emotional state.
Celebrate Positive Emotions**: When you feel positive emotions, celebrate them and use them as a guide to continue moving in the direction of your desires.
Going with the Flow
The Downstream Approach
Many people mistakenly believe that achieving their desires requires hard work and struggle. They paddle upstream, fighting against the current, thinking that this is the only way to prove their worth. However, the truth is that everything you desire is downstream. The current of life is always flowing toward your expanded self, and you can choose to go with that flow.
How to Go with the Flow
Let Go of Resistance: Release the need to control every aspect of your life. Trust that the universe is guiding you toward your desires. Embrace Ease and Flow: Approach challenges with a mindset of ease and flow. Allow the current of life to carry you toward your desires.
Stay Open to Opportunities**: Be open to new opportunities and experiences that align with your desires. Trust that the universe is working in your favor.
The Journey of Emotional Growth
Emotional Growth as a Process
As you navigate your emotional landscape, it is essential to reach for thoughts that feel better, even if they are not the best thoughts you can imagine. If you find yourself in a state of depression, for example, you may not be able to leap directly to joy. Instead, aim for a thought that feels slightly better, such as frustration or anger. These emotions can serve as stepping stones toward a more positive state.
How to Foster Emotional Growth
Acknowledge Your Starting Point: Accept where you are emotionally without judgment. This is the first step toward emotional growth. Reach for Better-Feeling Thoughts: Gradually shift your focus to thoughts that feel better. This helps you move toward alignment with your true self.
Celebrate Progress**: Recognize and celebrate your progress, no matter how small. Every step toward a more positive emotional state is a victory.
Conclusion: Embracing Your True Self
In summary, the path to personal growth and fulfillment lies in understanding and aligning with your expanded self. Your emotions are powerful indicators of your vibrational state, guiding you toward or away from your desires. By focusing on positive thoughts and allowing yourself to flow with the current of life, you can attract the experiences you truly want.
Embrace the journey of becoming, knowing that everything you desire is already within reach. Trust in the process, and allow your emotional guidance system to lead you toward a life of joy, abundance, and fulfillment. Remember, you are not here to prove your worth; you are here to explore, expand, and enjoy the beautiful journey of life.
