Question: He Wants A Million Dollars But He Doesn’t Want To Go Work For It

Abraham: Well, your statement is really telling and really important because what you’re saying is ” I want a million dollars, and I believe that there are ways to get a million dollars that I don’t want to do.” So what you’re doing is saying, “I want this, but I don’t want this,” and that’s not a very powerful state of being because you’re setting  contradiction up right away.

So you soften that by saying, “I want a million dollars and I want to find a way that is compatible with me to receive it.” Now there’s less resistance in that. You say, “I want a million dollars, and I know that there are a lot of people who have a million dollars, who got it in a way that would be not be uncomfortable to me.”

But when you say, “I want a million dollars, but there is no one  I’m going to inherit it from; or I want a million dollars, but nobody that I know is going to die and leave it to me… IOW, you’ve got to stop the contradiction.

When you talk about what you want, and why you want it, there is usually less resistance within you than when you talk about what you want and how you’re going to get it because when you pose questions that you don’t have answers for like how, where, when,who, then it sets up a contradiction vibration within you that slows everything down.

Statements such as “There must surely be many people on this planet today, who have a million dollars, and in excess of it, who at one time were standing right where I am, just wanting it, and having no idea how it was going to come. Feel how resistance-free that statement is.

Words like “Faith” and “Trust” are so annoying on some levels, but we want to explain to you the value of them because even though you don’t know how, or where, or when, or who, if you know what, and you’ve talked about why you want it, and you’ve practiced the thought of it until it’s starting to feel very familiar to you, what begins to happen is things that couldn’t happen to you now, begin happening, and ideas that wouldn’t even occur to you now,  begin to occur to you, and rendezvous with people that you don’t have access to now, begin to happen, and when your million and many more come to you, you will wonder where it always was.

Guest: It seems like the resistance is so subtle; it’s like its somewhere in the background of the drama you don’t even recognize it.

Abraham: We wouldn’t call it “subtle”, well, maybe that’s a good word for it, but we would use a more blunt word, and that is “I’ve practiced contradictory thoughts so long, that they feel natural.”

And so when you start imagining having a million dollars, and we’re going to play here with you for just a little bit, but when you start imagining what that means, and we don’t want you to just get a million dollars and stop, you’re going to want a million dollars always at your disposal. You’re going to want to spend that and have another on its heels, because we promise you once you get used to millions of dollars moving through your experience, a million dollars won’t last you very long.  Because you begin to live in a way…and… your property taxes go way up.

So what is it that we are wanting you to trust in? The fact that you can be or do or have anything.  How is that we want you to approach it? Slowly and gently. We want you to be happy with where you are. You have to make peace with where you are.

So you can’t say, “Oh my life is miserable, and I have to do all these things I don’t want to do and boy if I had a million dollars then I wouldn’t do any of these things because… can you feel how jumbled the energy is?

What you’re saying is “Universe, I’m miserable and unhappy where I stand, please give me something that will make it better.” And the Universe says, “Sorry, we can only give you more things that will make you miserable,” because that’s the vibe you’re offering.

And you say, well how do I offer something other than…I want to be over there and I’m over here.

And we say well, talk about what’s over there. And most people have a very difficult time talking about what’s over there because they’ve been talking so long and hard with such detail about what’s over here that that’s what is active in their vibration. And that’s why we’re talking about these emotional journey. You’ve got to talk yourself into a different vibe and then different things will come to you.
