How You Can Help

Jerry was editing the next weekly tape and came across this question

and answer from this Ashland, Oregon seminar. It immediately soothed

the discomfort that Jerry and I were having as we were discussing

what's happening this week to so many people in the path of

Hurricane Katrina. Abraham encouraged us to post it and gave it the

title, " How You Can Help. "

How You Can Help

Ashland, Oregon - 7/23/05

Question: Living with a communal group was a highlight experience

for me. We had a vision for a way that people could live happily on

earth. I am aware now that nothing needs fixing, however, have we,

as a world populace, trapped ourselves in a dream where we keep

handing the next generation our collective fears and negative habits

of thought? Is it possible for enough of us to dream a new dream,

and alter this cycle? Is that why you, Abraham, have come to us this

now? You say the world isn't broken, but is it possible for it to

vibrate at a higher level so that the contrast could be less

drastic? Wouldn't it be nice for things like war and starvation

to fade away? Is the dream for a saner way to live, that so many of

us have held, undesirable?

Abraham: Well, we are appreciating everything that you're saying

there. And the answer to all of those things that you're asking

for, in terms of improvement, that is certainly happening. It is

well under way. Things will just continue to get better and

better - but the contrast will always be there.

Now, you're really going to like this because we want you to

understand that things are already very much as you want them to be,

in this sense: As you are, those of you who are here now on this

planet, interacting with one another, as you are moving through

contrast, you are launching many rockets of desire. And do you

understand the fullness of what we mean by that? Each point of

Consciousness having an experience, and out of that experience is

born a personal preference of how this could be better for me,

personally.

As Jerry and Esther were in Alaska, they took a little side trip

with family, grandchildren, and went on a boat excursion that was

partly submersed. And they were looking at the bottom of the ocean

and actually saw the organisms that are there clinging to the

underwater vegetation. It was fascinating to see. And Esther

said, " And each one of you has your personal preference, and each

one of you is launching rockets of desire, and your world is

becoming better for you, just like my world is becoming better for

me. " And it was as if they collectively agreed with her. She was

certain that she saw some of them turn her way and smile. (Fun!)

So, each of you are offering your vibration in response to what

you're living, and you're launching rockets of desire off

into your vibrational future. But what we notice with many of you is

that many of you are not allowing yourselves to be in vibrational

alignment with what you are asking for right now. And as a result of

that, when you don't do that, you don't receive the benefit

of your

own living through contrast and your own launching of desires. But

future generations often receive the benefit of your living in

contrast and your launching of desires because the future

generations, as they are born into your environment, have far less

resistance than you all have accumulated over time. So, that's

the primary reason that things get better and better, and better.

So, in answer to your question, " Have we come forth in order to help

you prepare the world for the future generations? " we are here to

help you learn how to let in what you have launched, because future

generations are going to get it for sure, you see. Our work is to

help you be more adaptive to receive the benefit of the things that

you are asking for here and now.

This world is not set up for failure and demise, and decline.

It's set up for improvement and expansion and better and better

and better, and better. It must get better and better and better. It

is - and we would just like all of you to let yourselves in on

more of it.

So, as you bring up things like starvation, or war, we understand.

We agree with you. There are things that are happening in the world

in places, to individuals, to communities, that are undesirable for

them and undesirable for you. It is not possible to rid the world of

unwanted things, but it is possible for those, like you, who stand

in an easier-to-see place, to see those things and launch your

rockets of desires.

The question that we would put to you is, as you see starvation and

you feel the hurt of it, and you launch a rocket of desire, wanting

the world to be better, and as you stand at this juncture where you

can fork in the direction of what you desire, or in the direction of

what you do not want, which way are your thoughts taking you? Are

you seeing the world better? Are you hoping better for them? Are you

imagining governments getting organized? Are you acknowledging that

the food exists, that the technology exists? Are you acknowledging

that there is enough food for everyone? Are you wanting them to get

it? Are you believing that it is possible? Or, are you beating the

drum of the ineptness of the governments? Are you beating the drum

of things going wrong? In other words, which fork are you taking,

and which pathway are you helping chart for not only the future

generations, but those that are living here now? You can tell by the

way you feel whether you are adding significantly in a helpful way

to those who are in need of help, you see. But you cannot change

things for the better by acknowledging things that need to be

changed. You only change things for the better when you turn your

attention to what feels better to you in the attention of it. Yes.

Guest: Thank you.

Abraham: Yes, indeed.
