Close encounter of the Abraham kind…

Here I am, ready to meet Abraham - in the flesh, so to speak. I’m all tuned in, tapped in, turned on! We arrive at the venue more than half an hour early, and the auditorium – Wow! this venue is massive! – is already abuzz with people. There’s eagerness and giddiness in the air; the kind of excitement that would have been present just before a Beatles concert.

What will happen today? Who will be called to the ‘Hot Seat’, which by the way, seems incredibly hot since it’s been put it right ON stage! Whoever gets up there has got to want an answer to their question; because whoever gets up there has got to relinquish their anonymity. Not only will they be up on stage in front of 3000 people, but their face will also be plastered on the two giant screens above the stage for all to see. That rules me out. I’m not that fond of the limelight. So I’ll have to find another way to get my questions answered.

But what questions do I want answered? I’ve so many yet I have none. I’ve read and I’ve listened to the wisdom of Abraham for a while now and – they’ll admit it themselves – they only have one message: stop beating the drum of what you don’t want, stop paddling upstream, stop doing what it is you’re doing that causes you to feel bad. As soon as you do that, you’ll close the gap between who you have become in vibrational escrow and where you are now. So… what question could I possibly ask that wouldn’t have this as an answer?

I think I’ll just listen and take in as much wisdom as I can. I’ll look out for the one sentence that will give me the Ah-Ha! moment I’m looking for. That’s the plan anyway.

It’s 10am. Jerry and Esther walk in. At last, we get to meet them for real. The irony is that the venue is so large that they appear quite small, up there on stage. So we often resort to watching them on the screen like on the DVDs. Yet, this is different. This is real. This is happening live, in front of us. None of the wisdom that comes out of Esther’s mouth has been mouthed before. This moment never existed before. I feel elated and privileged to be here. I bask in the exquisite vibration of jubilation and curiosity.

Abraham speaks. Vibrational escrow, upstream-downstream, well-stocked kitchen – yeah, yeah, yeah – beating the drum – yeah, closing the gap – yeah… I know all that! You’ve said that before! I want NEW information, NEW analogies, something that will help me release resistance. I’ve heard all this before, Abraham! … U-ho… I’m losing the joy, oh no, I’m slipping… Curiosity has gone; I’m sinking into disenchantment and disinterest. Watch out, I’m plummeting! I’m so preoccupied with the free fall of my good mood that I’m about to miss the next bit of information. What was that? Did I hear Abraham say ‘Vortex’? What was this about? Source is creating a vortex with all the positive things we ask, which causes Source to expand. Source needs us, the Physical Aspect in order to expand. Did I hear this before? No, that’s… that’s new! Oh… oh…. I’m back! I’m back up! Interesting how easily one can let themselves be swayed by negative thoughts… But I’m back now, I’m fine. I’m tuned in, tapped, in turned on!

Something inside me is bubbling now and requires my immediate attention. Feelings and images emerge: feeling overwhelmed, like time is flying past. Everything goes too quickly. An image appears – a car going too fast. I’m hanging on. I’m not at the wheel, I’m not even in the passenger seat; I’m on top of the car – stuntman style – hanging on for dear life. This is the story of my life! Wake up one morning and it’s January; go to bed at night, wake up the next day and it’s two weeks before Christmas… Somehow twelve months flew by and I’m still trying to catch up. So here I am, manifesting at the speed of light, and the only thing I can do is to place obstacles in my way to slow down that racing car. The obstacles do slow down the car a bit, but mostly they just make the road more uncomfortable, and make it even more difficult to hang on…

By now, I’ve got no awareness of what Abraham is discussing. I’m too engrossed by what I’m being shown.

Hanging from the car, I wish I could slow down. The wish of most people is to speed things up, to get there quicker. Yet, what I wish for is to slow down my ‘mean-lean—manifesting-machine!’ Why? Another thought comes to mind: if I get it done too quickly, what will I do next? If I’m done in the morning, what will I do for the rest of the afternoon? Hmmm… quite a paradox…

“Good time for a segment of refreshment”. We’re taking a break, and I immediately jump on my notebook and jot down what I saw. My husband comes back from the bathroom; I need to debrief. Scott reckons that slowing things down is not the way to go. The problem is the illusion of being out of control, of falling behind. He says I should try to recall times where I felt in synch, in the zone and when the speed of manifesting felt just right. “If you can recall one event, you can recall two, if you recall two, you can recall three, if you recall three, you know you don't really have problem…” I do that. There’s this time, and this one… I’m feeling the tension go. I need to get used to the speed. Get back in the car. The speed is just an illusion.

“And are you refreshed?” Yes! “Good. Now what?” A guy goes on stage, begins asking his question, but Abraham interrupts:

“You need to get up to speed with what source has caused you to become. You’ve got to get up to speed with what you have created in vibrational escrow. If you’re in a plane, flying above the clouds, you might be traveling at great speed, yet you feel you’re not moving; all is calm. Yet, put that same plane at that same speed on the street; it won’t feel quite as peaceful! Speed itself is not the problem. You need to get up to speed!”

My husband looks at me with wide eyes. Abraham has just confirmed what we had been discussing. I just had my question answered and I didn’t even have to go on stage!

As we leave the venue at the end of the day, I can’t help but wonder how many people, just like me, had a personal encounter with Abraham in all anonymity… By the look of the many beaming faces around me, I’d say quite a few!

Thank you Abraham (and thank you Esther and Jerry for coming to Australia!)
