Why dont most change patterns of thought?
A
Good morning. We are extremely pleased that you are here. It is good to come together
for the purpose of co-creating, do you agree? You bring your physical bodies, yes? But you bring
so much more, for you are far more than the physical beings that you know sitting there in your
clump on a chair.
It is nice to be back at work. (Your work never stops.) Its nice to be back in a gathering
where seekers come, vibrating life, asking through your vibration not only with your words,
seeking conscious awareness of why your life is playing out as it is, yes?
Sometimes as physical Beings you come to rely on action and words to make your life
as you want it to be. And then you find such frustration because sometimes you speak words and
offer actions that are contrary to the vibration that you are offering. In other words, when you
say, I really hope that something turns out well, when you really do not expect it to, your
words of hope sound cheerfulbut they do not bring you the results you seek.
When you want something that you sincerely doubt, it cannot be, as long as that doubt
is prevalent within you. You have to find a way to shift beliefs before life can change. And
beliefs didnt come quickly to you, did they? They came through living of life. But most
important, and youve been telling us this, your beliefs did not come because you pulled them
out of thin air. Your beliefs came because you witnessed life that made you believe.
So, when you saw something happening that you did not want to happen, as you
observed it and gathered your statistics about it, you came to the conclusion that this is factual;
this is evidence; this is truth; this is real, and then you teach one another that it is virtuous to
focus upon things that are real.
And we say, maybe so, in your physical format. But we want you to realize that
whatever you are focusing upon is training you into a habit of thought. (Thats all a belief is; its
just a habit of thought. Its a thought you keep thinking.) So, when you train yourself into a habit
Jerry & Esther Hicks

of thought that is not a match to anything close to what you would want to live, youve set up a
cross-current in your vibrational frequency. You want it this way, but you expect it this way.
And we want to say to you, that your expectations, you didnt get them immediately;
you got them by listening, by watching the television commercials, by speaking to the people
that were surrounding you. You came to the vibrational habits of thought that you have come to
over a long period of time. And they, whether you like it or not, are in most cases more dominant
within you than the vibration of your very desire. Which means, there are all kinds of things that
you want that you are offering a vibration that is different than.
So, have you noticed that the things that you know youve got handled, you keep
handling? And thats because your belief is in that place, so your pattern of thought, your
expectation of thought keeps perpetuating the same.
The Law of Attraction, which is the basic Law of all that exists, says that the frequency
that you are emitting is being constantly matched by others frequencies that are the same. So,
when you come to feel the way you feel and you dont work to think thoughts that cause you to
feel differently, then you continue to offer this habit of thought.
Dont you know people that sort of had an attitude, or a mood, or a personality when
you knew them as teenagers? And now, when you meet up with them again, theyre sort of in the
same place? Most of you do not change your patterns of belief, because most of you perpetuate
your patterns of belief through your observation of what-is.
So, what-is is surrounding you. You observe it. You offer more vibration about it. Law
of Attraction gives you more like what-is, which you observe and offer a vibration about it, so
Law of Attraction gives you more like what-is. And then you start saying, My life experience
has taught me that what-isis. This is fact. This is just the way it is.
And we say, that may be true. It may be just the way it is. But we want you to
understand that just the way it is, is absolutely changeable. But you cant change just the way it
is if you keep observing just the way it is.
So then people say, Well how do I not observe just the way it is, when just the way it
is, is so everywhere around me because Im just the way I am? And we say, well, little by little,
you visualize a little more, or selectively sift a little more diligently.
The only way that we know that you could even begin to shift your vibrational
patterning is by caring more about the way you feel than you do about the truth or the facts that
you are observing.
We know, your teachers and your parents, those mentors around you said, Dont tell
me a story. Tell me like it is. And we say, dont tell us like it is. Tell us a story. Tell us the story
of the way you want your life to be. Tell the story the way you want it to be, until you begin to
believe the story. And when you believe the story, your vibration has shifted and the Universe
will match your story.
The Universe is matching your vibrational offering. You just didnt, most of you, know
that you could offer a vibration that matches what you want. You have believed for a long time
that you should offer the story about how it is.
Now, many of you, even Jerry and Esther, who really know the power of thought (they
have witnessed it endlessly), still, they can get swept up in the bigness of what-is. What-is gets
your attention. All of your physical senses are queued to help you in observation.
What you see with your eyes is a translation of vibration. What you smell with your
nose is a translation of vibration. What you feel with your fingertips, and hear with your ears,
and taste with your tongue, you are a veritable vibrational interpreter.
Jerry & Esther Hicks
San Diego, CA 01/12/08

We just want you to realize that the true interpretation of vibration thats going on
within you is the vibration that is translated through what you call emotion. Thats really telling
you the story that you want to be aware of.
So, when you feel negative emotion, what your Guidance is telling you is, youve got
thoughts going on, chronic thoughts going on, and more important, current thoughts in the
moment of the emotion going on, that are not a match to what you want. In fact, depending upon
how strong the negative emotion is, your thoughts are really not a match to what you want.
Now, sometimes people say, Oh, thats very confusing because my emotions are all
over the place. And sometimes people will say, I know I felt good about such-and-such and it
didnt turn out so good, so what went wrong with that?
We want you to understand that you must come to an awareness of how your emotions
work. But even more important than that, you must come to an awareness of who you are as the
whole Being that you are. You must know that you are Source Energy in physical bodies, and
that the Source Energy part of you remains in the Nonphysical realm in the vibrational realm,
while the physical part of you is here interpreting through your physical format. But you cannot
separate yourself ever from the Source Energy that is you. Its always pulsing strong within you.
So, the Source Energy that is pulsing strong within you so knows your value. And when
you dont, you cause a problem in your vibration. The Source Energy within you so loves you
and others around you, and when you dont, you cause discord in your vibrational countenance.
Why is hating ones enemy so counterproductive?
So, the way it works is, you came forth into this physical body, and in the moment that
you came forth, you gained the perspective of your physical environment, but you also always
have this larger perspective of Source Energy pulsing through you. And in the moment that you
were born, those two perspectives began to give you vibrational feedback. The relationship
between the Source Energy and the physical how-Im-focused-in-my-physical-realm energy
began giving feedback to one another, just like every guidance system in the world does.
So now, youve got these two points of vibrational relativity: the lover that you really
are, and the lover that you might be being in your moment, or the hater that you might be being
in your moment. And when you are feeling the emotion that you call hatred or anger, what that
means is, youve got a very different point of view of whatever your object of attention is, than
the Source within you.
We know physical Beings dont like to hear it when we say, the Source within you
loves your enemies, because you are so determined that you are justified in your not loving of
them. But we want you to understand that when you are not loving someone that who-you-reallyare is loving, the problem that is caused is caused by you, and the trouble comes to younot to
your enemy.
We say to you, youve got to find a way to soften up your vibration on those renegades
that have been betraying you and mistreating you, because, even though by physical standards
(even by Nonphysical standards), you are utterly justified in the way you feel about their
seeming wrongdoing, or about their betrayal of you, when you focus upon anyone in an attitude
of anything thats less than the pure love that who-you-really-are feels toward all life, you cause
friction in your vibrational patterningand it feels like negative emotion to you. And if you keep
it up, you experience a stronger indication of the discord.
Jerry & Esther Hicks
San Diego, CA 01/12/08

So, the first indication of vibrational discord, or resistance between who-you-really-are

and who youre being in the moment that you are focused, the first indication of the discord is
negative emotion. The first indication of alignment is positive emotion. And of course, the range
goes all the way from ecstasy to agony, doesnt it? In other words, there are the empowering
emotions that feel like love and joy, and the utterly disempowering emotions that feel like fear
and revenge and despair, depression. But along all that range of emotions, are your indications of
your alignment or not so much with who-you-really-are.
So, as you come to understand that, and then you do something so wise. You say, Im
going to begin guiding myself by how the thought, action or word feels, not by what someone
outside of me is proposing as appropriate action. In other words, when you get it that you have
this supreme Guidance that is giving you feedback in every moment, and that everything that
manifests in your life is nothing more than an indication of your vibrational countenance, then
you can come to realize that if youve got manifestations happening that arent pleasing you,
youve got to change the vibration that is emanating from you, or the indicator cant change.
When someone has cancer, of course, they dont want it. But we want to say to you, its
just an indication of vibration. Change the vibration and the indication must change. But the
reason people say, No, this cancer is deadly; no, this cancer is incurable; no, what Ive got cant
be fixed, the reason they say that is because so many are fixed on their patterns of thought, so
most dont get over it. But all could.
We tell doctors and scientists, when you start looking for vibrational roots, vibrational
causes instead of cures for diseases, now, you really have something. But until you get to the
vibrational reason, the disease will just squirt out in another way, and another way, and another
way. Havent you noticed? You get a cure, then you get ten more diseases. Then you get a cure,
then you get ten more diseases. In other words, your resistance runs fast and furious in an
environment where Energy is moving so fast.
The leading edge of thought.
You live at the leading edge of thought where all thought that has ever been thought
before is culminating and expressing further forward. This is the leading edge of that which you
call Source. And out here on the leading edge Energy moves fast because the billions of you who
are here living and asking, and you do that, dont you? Life causes you to know what you dont
want, which causes you to know what you do want. So, life just causes you to ask, and ask, and
ask, and ask.
And do you know, every time you ask (were not just talking about with your words),
every time you are in some situation where it is not as you want it to be, an asking emanates
from you, and in the moment of that asking Source Energy answers, lines up circumstances and
events, and a rush of Energy moves through; a veritable vortex that creates worlds opens. The
Energy moves quickly and instantaneously toward the fulfillment of everything you ask for.
The question is: are you up to speed with that Energy Stream? And in these days, we
want to say to you, because the Stream is moving so fast, if you get a little out of alignment with
it, the results show up pretty big and pretty fast, dont they? In other words, a car thats going
100 mph, youre paying more attention than a car thats going 5 mph. And a car thats going 100
mph and hits a tree, much bigger problem than a car thats going 5 mph and hits a tree.

Jerry & Esther Hicks

San Diego, CA 01/12/08

Well, friends, welcome to 100 mph cars. (Fun!) In other words, this is the time of fast
Energy. Which means, this is the time of awakening. This is the time of figuring out what youre
doing with the Energy. You cant be sloppy with your thinking in an environment where Energy
is moving so fast. Youve got to pay attention to your thoughts. But that will make you crazy.
Paying attention to your thoughts, monitoring thoughts, ah, you cant even control your kids.
Monitoring your thoughts is hopeless. So dont monitor your thoughts. Just put your ear to the
ground for the way you feel. And set forth a determination that you want to feel good, and that
youre going to use the power of your mind, your ability to focus, to find better and better and
better and better-feeling thoughts.
Now, many of you have come to that decision long ago. We heard your new years
resolutions. (Fun!) Many of you are determined to think more deliberately, to be more
deliberately, to focus more on things that you want. But the thing that is a little tricky about that
is that when youre in the middle of something that you dont want, and you cant just put a sack
over your head, you cant just withdraw from your work, or withdraw from your relationship, or
send your children to a foster home. (Fun!) In other words, you cant just withdraw from where
you areand it has your attention.
What we want this gathering to help you come to a resolution about is that your now
environment is going to have less of your attention, and where youre going and what youre
wanting and how youre feeling is going to have more of your attention.
We want you to realize that when something is happening and you feel strong negative
emotion, thats not the time to try to find a bright, happy, fluffy thought because Law of
Attraction is not dealing those out to you right now. When your radio signal is set on 106, you
cant hear whats being broadcast from 98.7the frequencies are too far apart.
Because whats been happening in your environment has you focused upon something
gone wrong, you cant immediately focus upon my life is perfect in every waypartly
because youve been trained to face reality and to tell it like it is, but also because those
frequencies are pretty far apart.
Weve noticed that if somethings happened and you really feel despair, and one of your
well-meaning friends comes in love and appreciation and tries to help you, all you do is justify
more vehemently why you feel like you do. Their happiness just makes you feel even more like a
failure. And their guidance just makes you feel even more like youd like them to be dead. In
other words, nothings worse than to feel the opposite of who you are and how you want to feel,
and have some bright-eyed fluffy person flapping in your face about how you create your own
reality. You want to say to them, Im sure thats not true, or you would be gone from my
experience. (Fun!)
But when you understand that its not your job, nor is it even possible, to find a really
good-feeling thought from that bad-feeling thought, if youre in despair, revenge feels pretty
darn good, doesn't it?
Now many say, Oh, were in the wrong seminar. Thought we were going to hear about
love. We just want you to realize that you cant find love from revengethe frequencies are too
far apart. But from despair you can find revenge, and from revenge you can find hatred, and from
hatred you can find anger, and from anger you can find frustration, and from frustration you can
find hope. And from hope you can find just about anything that you want. But there are some
steps along the way. And we think that the reason so many people have given up on any
awareness of what their emotions are telling them is because they have not understood the
frequency of emotion.

Is it time to retune your thoughts?

Everything that manifests; everything that manifests in your life or anybody elses life
that you are observing; everything that manifests is nothing more than (and we dont mean to
diminish it because its wonderful whats going on here)but nothing more than the indication
of your vibrational countenance. Its an indicator. Manifestations are indicators of what youve
been doing vibrationallyperiod.
If wonderful things are happening, youve got good indications of the good vibrations
youve been offering. If things have been out of control in your life, then youve got
manifestations that are indications of what youve been offering vibrationally.
You dont go to your gas station when your gauge is on empty, and lay your head on the
steering wheel in utter despair. Oh, look what Ive come to. I had hoped it would last longer.
(Fun!) I just couldnt keep it up. Its an indicator, and you know its only an indicator. So you
dont paste a happy face sticker over it because its depressing to see it. And you dont usually
wait until youre completely out of gas and stranded on the side of the road. You fill it up, dont
you? You fill it up. And thats what were talking about here.
Were talking about letting your indicator let you know what your habit of thought has
been. And if youre feeling pretty crummy lately, then its time for a fill-up. If things are sort of
not going the way you want them toits time to tune up your thoughts. Its time to offer some
more deliberate thought. Its time to seek a better attitude. Its time to become more cheerful.
But again, we want to say to you, if youre depressed and someones saying its time to
get more cheerful (we dont really mean it), if youre depressed, what we really want to say to
you, its time for revenge. And we mean that in the nicest way. We want you to realize that its
like, you take your rubber raft down to the rivers edge and you, as humans, invariably will turn
it upstream and start paddling very hard.
And we say, if we were in your rubber raft, we would go with the current. We wouldnt
fight the current. And you say, But we must be virtuous. Struggle and hard work, thats what we
honor here. (Fun!) Those are the people for whom we make monuments and plaques and really
big headstones.
We want you to understand that nothing that you want is upstream, and that every bit of
struggle and consternation and determination, all that Im going to heal myself; Im going to
make it better, all of that has you focused upstream. We want you to feel the ease of letting go
of the struggle. You dont even have to turn your boat around in the stream and begin paddling
downstream. Just let go of the oars; the current will turn you.
So, this workshop really is not about teaching you to go with the Stream because you
have no choice. You are Eternal Beings, and who you are has been set into motion for a very
long time. This seminar is about asking the question and helping you answer itare you going
willingly? Are you going toward your natural unfolding willingly? And every time youre mad at
somebody, youre going but youre not going willingly. When youre loving, youre going, and
youre going willingly. And you can feel the difference, cant you?
There is always more to want.

When you are a vibrational match to what youre asking for, you feel glorious. The best
state of being in all of the Universe is to be physically focused with life having helped you to ask
for many things. And the Source within you having found vibrational alignment with all that
youve asked for, and you be focused in the direction of what youve been asking forallowing
the Universe to yield to you, through circumstances and events, the path for the achievement of
all that you are asking for.
You do not need to ever worry about running out of things to want because contrast will
always help you to define more of them. And you do not need to worry about ever not having that
feeling of inspiration that is calling you forwardbecause there will always be that vibrational
gap between what life has just helped you to ask for and your achieving of it.
We know that youve come forth into this indescribably perfect environment of contrast
and variety, so that you can be inspired to your personal preferences and desires, understanding
that each desire shoots out of you like a rocket. And that the Source within you attaches itself
completely to that rocket, and then you have never-ending Guidance to let you know where you
stand vibrationally in relationship to the rocket you have given birth to.
You and the life you are living are the reason your Stream is moving as it is. And you
and the focus of your thoughts are the reason that youre going, or not. So, everything about
whats happening, and everything about how you feel is utterly in your control. But then you say,
and we even hear it from Esther from time to time, quite a bit this last month, But Abraham, its
not my fault...! Esthers standing in her new kitchen, many things having just gone wrong in the
new house, saying to us, What were they thinking?
We said (she couldnt hear us), we said, this is not a good pattern of thought going on
here. Focus upon all of the wonderful things, and there are so many. But Esther was not on that
train of thought. She was on the punch list of things to be fixed, which vacillated anywhere
between three and five hundred items. First it was 100, then it was 200, then it was 300, then it
was 250, then it was 400, then it was 350. (We are exaggerating not at all.)
And she said to us, Abraham, this cannot be my doing. Im sure I havent thought 500
things on the punch list worth of negative thoughts. And in that moment, the microwave made a
funny sound. And she turned around and it said, fault 6. And Esther said, See? Its the
microwaves fault. What an interesting set of circumstances. (Fun!) We want you to understand
that when you are focused upon what-is, you must use what-is as your point of asking. And feel
the difference.
Now, theres something really good stirring here because we see you in your physical
experiences, and we know that you are living life fully. You are a busy, busy bunch. And as you
are living life fully, the thing that this Emotional Scale points out most dramatically is that on
one end of it is your perception of empowerment and freedom. Its where all the good-feeling
emotions are. And on the other end of it is your perception of powerlessness, of not being free.
And we want you to feel with us, as we are moving through this day, that when you are
asking a question that is summoning an answer, that that feeling of a question is so life-giving. In
other words, when you feel free to receive the answer to the question that you are asking, even
though the answer has not yet come to you, you feel wonderful. Thats how youre wired. Thats
who you are. But when you focused in a way that youre now asking another question, and you
doubt that the answer to that question can come, thats paramount to the powerless feeling, the
powerless end of the equation.

Jerry & Esther Hicks

And so, we want to help you to understand that with everything that you are living, you
are queued up for constant asking for improvement and answers to questions, and solutions to
problems. Its the way this expanding, never-ending Universe works.
If the one small thing that you can gather as a result of us chewing here together today,
is that every question has an answer, and every problem has a solution, and every answer and
solution is right at your fingertips, if you could just be solution oriented and answer oriented,
rather than beating the drum of the problem, then tomorrow, everything not working right on
your punch list would begin coming into alignment.
You have punch lists of life where there are things that you want to queue up and you
want them to be differently. And we want you to understand that you have a team of
Nonphysical and physical Beings all queued up, orchestrated, standing ready to do anything and
everything that you wantprovided you are a vibrational match to it. But no one can buck your
current, no matter how cute you are, no matter how sweetly you say the words, and no matter
how justified you believe that you are in getting what you want. Youve got to clean up your
vibration.
Youve got to clean up your vibration, which means simply, youve got to tell a new
story. Youve got to tell the story of your life the way you want it to benot the way it is. No
longer look for sympathy. And you know, if you would stop looking, this is the only thing that
we would say to Esther relative to all of this. (You can tell her about this later. Point her back to
this moment on the recording. Look at the time and tell her to listen back to this because this is
the thing that we most want you to understand.) When you are standing in your physical
environment and you have turned your punch list over to other mortals, thats where your
trouble lies. Do not give your punch list to mortals. Give your punch list to the managers of the
Universebecause theyll get it for you every single time.
What do you want to talk about? Some things...
Figuring out ones career as they go.
Q
Long time, no talk. So, what Im wondering is, you were talking vibrationally about
kinda what youre getting in life and such. And so, right now Im at a little bit of a crossroads, so
I just kind of want a different perspective on it, and kind of see where I could go with things.
After four or five years of not being in professional baseball, I just got hired again by
the Cardinals. But I have obvious hesitation towards it. I took the job because I feel that thats
something that you cant really pass up unless you have something solid staring at you in the
face. And so, thats something solid. I was trying to go back to school and start working on a
program with kinesiology and biomechanics and really straighten some things out.
And Im caught in between professional baseball and the uncertainty, and can you get a
woman to want to take the ride with you, and these kind of things. Between education
A

How many women in this room would like to take the ride with him?

Q
Very funny. Very funny. But you know what I mean. And having more of the stability
in an education and creating a job or a business.
A

Oh, theres so much we want to say to you.

Jerry & Esther Hicks

San Diego, CA 01/12/08

Yeah, youre telling me.

A
First of all, we want to say to you, that you have, for a long time, been asking for this
experience that has just queued up for you and come into fruition. And now, already, before you
get both feet into it, you are now reaching into what comes beyond... How is it that so many of
you have been trained to start looking for the next problem before you even bask a little in the
last solution?
Q

Thats what Im asking. Is thisis this solution?

A
Hear this. Were going to say this in a way youre not expecting. [Okay.] We will never
say to anyone, this manifestation that is just coming about for you is the end all to end all. It
will satisfy everything youve ever asked for. It will satisfy everything thats in your Vibrational
Escrow now, and it will satisfy everything that you ever put into your Vibrational Escrow
forevermore. There is no such thing as that. If you say, am I going to have a good time? Yes.
If you say, did this come in response to my aligned Energy? Yes. If you say, will this be a
satisfying experience? We say, thats up to you. In other words, you get to decide how far you
keep reaching beyond what-is.
This is what youve been grappling with for awhile, and a lot of people do. You are so
fresh and new in this physical environment, and it has shown you so many possibilities. And you
come with such powerful Nonphysical Energy that is streaming downstream in such a powerful
way. And you keep having the sensation that you should be able to get way downstream with a
net and gather up all the good stuff, and bring it all into your life right now, and devour it all
right now. Almost in an attitude that, if I dont go get it all now, it will get away from me. And
we say, it wont get away from you. It will keep re-appearing, and re-appearing, and reappearing, and re-appearing, and re-appearing because its all there for the satisfaction of your
experience and as the solution to your problems, and the answers to your questions.
Your ship wont come in and you miss it, or you wont take one ship and miss another
one. In other words, you can take any ride you want, and in the middle of that ride you can keep
asking for more. Just start making lists of all of the things that you appreciate about this
opportunity that has come, and milk it for everything that it gives you.
Q

Okay.

A
Yes, it will be long hours. And yes, there will be lots to do. And yes, there will be things
missing in it that might be present in someplace else... Esther says to Jerry as she stands in this
magnificently beautiful new house, You made a big mistake because now I never want to leave
here. You should have held out longer. But Jerry smiles and knows that five minutes after
Esther is on the road shell be fully engulfed in the wonder of that new moment, and then the
next, and then the next, and then the next.
Life is here to serve you. Life is here to serve you. And all those things that are queuing
up for you to play with are all coming in response to your vibration. So, pat yourself on the back
for your accomplishment, and bask in the deliciousness of it as long as you can. And understand
that if something shows itself to you that you prefer, life can give you that, too. And that, too. And
that, too. Youre calling your own shots.

What you want to work on is, not whats going on with your skills in baseball. What you
want to work on is, your attitude to feel goodno matter what, no matter what, no matter what.
Tell the story the way you want it to be.
And we know, and this is whats worrying you. Youve been there before, and you
know that when you get engulfed in that, that there are so many dynamics going on, that they
suck your perspective. And its like they almost demand your attention... Esthers lived a little bit
of this, this last month. It feels like theres so much happening, its hard to hold your stable
positionbut you can. You can hold your stable position.
Just keep telling yourself that. Im in charge here. Im in charge of my life. Im in
charge of what comes. Im in charge of how I feel.
Well, well let you finish your question before we nail you.
Q
Okay. Well, the basis is on, you know, not repeating the past, which is, I come back and
now what do I do? Do I go to school? If they re-hire me, do I go? Or, Im trying to get
somewhere where I dont have to live month to month. I want to live five years in advance with
the money, meaning, I want money, money, money, and more money, so I dont have to worry
about that.
A
Well, we want that for you, too. But we dont want you to ask for the security that
comes from physical promises from physical humans. We want your security to come to you.
We want your awareness of your security to be: you know how the Laws of the Universe work.
You know how to focus. And you know that this positive focus that you know how to offer will
always bring you good things.
Dont try to see so far down the road. Just see what-is and look for the good things.
Look down the road and look for the good things. Just dont demand that promises be made that
give you the security. You see, this is the thing that makes the difference between someone who
can stand where you are in an attitude of belief and trust, some call it faith, most dont like the
word faith because faith feels like, be happy even though you have no evidence of being happy.
And we want to acknowledge to you, and you to acknowledge to yourselfyou have much
evidence that supports the power of positive thought. So, just chill out. Dont try to figure it all
out at once. Just pat yourself on the back more, and feel more appreciation.
The mantra that we want you to offer over the next days is, I figure it out as I go. I
figure it out as I go. I figure it out as I go. I figure it out as I go. I dont have to figure it out all
today. Im figuring it out as I go. Look how well Im doing. I figure it out as I go. The Universe
adores me. The Universe is yielding to me. Good things are lined up for me. All good things
coming to me. Theres not a reason in the world for me to worry. When I worry, its old patterns
of thought that have nothing to do with my current reality or my current vibrational stance.
Youre doing extremely well.
Q

Yeah, thank you very much.

She wants to save future generations legacy.

Q
When I set my intentions on something, how do I stay in the downstream with those
intentions when others intentions appear to be attempting to destroy mine?
Jerry & Esther Hicks

For example?

Q
There is a family legacy, a piece of property, that I am the guardian of. But there are
three others to whom I am related who do not value this legacy, and dont want it. And while my
intention (I understand, they are not interested in it), I seek to maintain it and hold it and protect
it for the benefit of the grandchildren and the great grandchildren contemplated
A

We can see why you would want them to have a battle then, too, yes. (Fun!)

Q
Ive been kind of like in battle. I stay focused on what I know is the truth for me and the
desire that I hold, and the intention that I hold for both born and unborn, but it feels like Im
being shot at all the time.
A
Well you know, youre working against some very strong currents here. And let us just
give you a law basis that youre sort of bucking. And then, well talk about the details of what
we would do if we were standing in your physical shoes.
Q

Thank you.

A
The most important thing that we want you to hear from us, is that you are asking for
something very remarkably impossible when you try to hold something for future generations
because youre not taking into consideration who any of those Beings are coming in, what their
life experience causes them to want. And youre bucking another very big law which is that
things are always constantly evolving and changing.
The reason that we want to focus here for just a moment is because what you are
attempting is (justified as you are, and well talk about all of that), what you are attempting is the
same thing that shows up most often when someone is looking for a relationship when you say,
I want to find the person who will satisfy my hopes and dreams forevermore, not taking into
consideration the evolution of all of you, the expansion of all of you.
And so, if you can understand that all of your power is here and now, and it is just fine,
in fact it is perfect that you would have an intention relative to something, and you have set your
intention about this property. And you have a vision of how you would like this property to be.
Maybe its the same vision that youve read from the people who had it before, and those that
had it before. And so, youre trying to uphold that vision and perhaps it really is your vision. But
the thing that we want you to hear: When you have a vision about something, and it feels like
other people are shooting it down, its not their shooting it down, and its not even their laying
claim to the stake that is threatening your vision. Its that youre letting their vision of your
vision disconnect you from your vision. In other words, youre facing the reality. You see them
as powerful players, or as hindering players, and youre focused upon their hindrance. And in
doing so, youre not in alignment with your vision... The pain you are feeling is not because
theyre hindering your vision. The pain youre feeling is because youre out of alignment with
your vision.
The next thing that we want to say to you, and this is the most important, and maybe
will be the part of this that is the most difficult for you to hear from us because you are really
invested in this property as being the vortex through which your vision will be received. Any

time you pick a piece of property, or a person, or a situation, and you assign it the task of being
the vortex through which your dreams will be fulfilledyou limit yourself.
Do you know, you could have a dream about a property, and you could hold to the
dream in an attitude of appreciation, and the Universe will satisfy that dream in oh, so many
more ways? You have so much more potential for so much more of your dream to be satisfied
than through that one mediocre little piece of property. And yet, youre using your squabble over
that as your reason to not be in alignment with your dream, so youre depriving yourself of the
dream that might come through that avenueand through many other avenuesand youre
giving them the credit or the blame for you not getting what you want.
And in all of that, your frustration, or your anger, or stronger, is because you feel
powerless. I want something that I feel I cant have. And the reason I feel I cant have it, is
because of what you are doing... We want you to understand that the Universe sees you
uniquely and separately, and will answer your every question, your every prayer, your every
desire, your every dream. You just have to stop making excuses of blame of why it cannot be
fulfilled.
Q

Im distracted by their intentions? I need to just simply stay focused on my intention?

A
Lets say there are two people, and one wants this and the other one wants something
entirely different. And they live together, and so, it feels like somebodys got to compromise and
nobody wants to. But what we notice is that this one, instead of thinking about what she wants
and focusing upon it completely, and making her vibration one about it (which means the
Universe will deliver the essence of it swiftly) instead, this ones looking over there and saying,
I dont like what youre doing. So, this ones messing up her vibration.
So this one isnt a vibrational match to her dream and is blaming that one for it not
coming to pass. And usually, the other ones doing the same thing. So, neither one of them are
focused upon what they want. Theyre both messing up their vibration by worrying about what
the other one wants. Neither one of them are getting what they want and theyre both blaming
each other. You cant do anything about what the other is doing, but you can clean up your
vibration. And when you do, the Universe will yield to youin ways that you right now cant
even imaginethe essence of what you want. You see?
Q

Yeah. I really just dont want to let go of my dream. And I hear you saying

We dont want you to let go of your dream, either.

Dont be so specific about it?

A
We dont want you to let go of your dream. We do want you to identify the essence of
the dream and hold to that. In other words, we notice that when you think about what you want
and why you want it, its easier for you to offer that pure singular vibration than when you try to
identify whos going to bring it, how its going to come, when its going to come, where its
going to be. Because when you ask those questions that feel threatened by what these other
relatives are wanting to do, then, youre not clear in your vibration; you split your vibration. You
dont get what you want and then you blame them. So, when you get to the heart of why you

Jerry & Esther Hicks

San Diego, CA 01/12/08

want it, you find a vibrational alignment with that So, lets talk about that. Why do you want
this legacy, as you are describing it? Why do you want that?
Q
Its just, anybody, including myself, thats ever been going up there, its built by a
grandfather. Its the only cabin left on the mountain that belongs to the same family that built it
60 years ago.
A

Theres a good reason for that.

Yes.

All the other families killed each other in the process. (Fun!)

Actually. Thats very true.

A
So, I want it because? Whats the essence? I want this legacy, I want this property. I
want it to stay as it is because?
Q

Its the most beautiful place in the world to me and to my children.

A
All right. So now, are you saying to us that its the only place in the world like it? In
other words, is this the last? If this goes, will that be it?
Q

In some ways, it does feel that way. But thats absurd.

A
It is absurd. (Fun!) So what youre saying is, I want a place that I and my family or
people that I care about can go, where it is beautiful in nature, where they can connect with the
Energy that creates worlds. So, I want to go someplace where I can feel this way.
Now, the thing that we really want you to hear is, and so many people find a little piece
of something that they try to protect and guard. But we want you to focus for a moment on the
difference between identifying this safe haven or this beautiful haven that now, you feel that you
must guard and protect from all of the outsiders that are trying to get in and disrupt it. Feel the
vibration of guarding and what that feels like. And feel that even if you were to have that
property, that standing guard over anything physical holds you forevermore in the place of now
having to push against the intruders, which is the opposite of the feeling that youre reaching for
in your quest to save the property.
Q

Thats very true.

A
Its exactly the opposite. [yes] And now, think about how getting tuned in, tapped in,
turned on is what you want. Its the feeling of alignment that youre seeking that, granted, you
think this property supports. Certainly, beautiful places that are serene and beautiful and free of a
lot of industry or traffic or pollution or whatever, certainly, we agree that they are conducive to
alignment. But you cant make your alignment dependent upon those things that you honestly
will never be able to control. You have to make your alignment only dependent upon your choice
of thoughts.
Jerry & Esther Hicks
San Diego, CA 01/12/08

And when you discover that you can choose Jerry and Esther have been going down
to the beach, and we promise you, theyre not the only ones going to the beach, and they would
be in a world of hurt if somehow they had convinced themselves that that beach should only be
theirs, because there are a whole lot of other people that are happily going to the beach. But their
joy isnt dependent upon being the only ones there. Their joy is dependent upon whatever
thoughts are going through their mind, as they are there, you see.
You can go to a beach or to a beautiful spot, and use it as your excuse to get tuned in,
tapped in, turned on with Source and feel wonderful, or you can go to the same spot and find
something that you dont like in it, and use it as your excuse to separate you from the Source
within you.
Esther discovered that. Shes standing in the most beautiful house on the most beautiful
spot of land with the most beautiful air ever, and she can focus upon some flaw, and take herself
from her Connection, over something that does not matter at all.
So, this is just an opportunity for you to realize that what you want is freedom, and that
the freedom that you are seeking is freedom from resistance. You will never find that freedom
from resistance by controlling the behavior of others. You will only find it when the behavior of
others becomes a non-issue because you are able to focus your minds in ways that allow your
Connection and gives you that feeling of Well-Being.
Were not giving you this guidance so that you can tune up your vibration so that you
can get your relatives to do what you want them to do, and get what you want. Were trying to
get you to tune up your vibration so that you will understand that the serenity that you seek on
the mountain is not about having it in the family. Its about your vibrational alignment.
And there are hundreds of thousands of spots on this planet that would give you that
feeling that you can go to any day, and the Universe will orchestrate it so that you can go there
when others are not there. In other words, youre zigging and zagging in this world. Youll get
what you want, whether you own the property, or not, you see. [Wow!] But the feeling of
ownership, the feeling of guarding, the feeling of protecting, the feeling of making others come
into agreement before I can get what I wantthat will render you powerless every single time
because youll never get them to agree. Even people who want to agree wont agree when youre
worried about them not agreeing. In other words, when something really, really, really matters to
you, they cant buck your current.
Let it go. Say, Universe, you know what I want. Give it to me in the path of least
resistance. Give it to me in any way I can get it. And then watch how many vortexes open for
you, where youre standing in a spot where the moon will shine just right, where the stars will
twinkle just right, where a bird will land on the bush right in front of you, where the beast in the
wild will come up and stare you right in the face, where all kinds of coincidences (seeming),
orchestrations by the Universe will come to show you that you are the center of the Universe,
and that everything that you want comes to fruition. You dont need to demand the cooperation
of other humans. When you come into alignment with what you want, the cooperative Universe
yields it to you endlessly, and other uncooperative humans become irrelevant to your creation.
Q

Amen.

Indeed.

His children want a dog; now what?

Q
Thank you. And happy New Year. Id like to expand a little bit on the previous concept
you talked about, about two people being able to live in the same environment with very
different intentions, yet being able to have them fulfilled. And Id like to meld that a little bit
with another concept you talk about, where its easy for children to see their parents as the
vortexes through with their Well-Being flows.
The way thats playing out in my life, is that my children want a dog. My wife and I
have very different ideas about it. And so, we all want different things. Yet, Im trying to tell and
teach my children that Im not the vortex through which their Well-Being flows, but at this
moment to them, it sure looks like it.
A
So the question is: If my children really believe that I am the vortex through which their
Well-Being flows, and they really want something, and they are oblivious to the fact that I dont
want it because their desire for it is so strong, will I be putty in their hands? Will I yield to their
pure request, even though I am determined to do otherwise?
Well, we stretched a little for that, but you have found that to be your experience,
havent you?
Q

In some respects, yes.

A
Dont you find yourself just feeling inclined to do things that you said you would never,
ever do?
Q

Sure.

A
And yet, when a child wants something and theyre convinced that theyre not going to
get it, and so theyre fussing and throwing fits in order to get it, you dont feel so inclined, do
you?
Q
No, but in some ways, I see them sort of giving up. I see my daughter writing about
how much she wants a dog, yet you can almost feel in that paper sort of this resignation that it
isnt going to come.
A
Well, that will help her get a dog because when she gives up, shes not Do not worry;
she has not given up her desire for the dog. Shes only given up the strugglewhich is going to
bring it quickly. You see.
When Jerry and Esther came together, the one thing that they did not have agreement
about was pets. Jerry made Esther sign a prenuptial agreement that said, or nearly so, no pets,
because they die first, and Jerry and Esther travel a lot, and so, he didnt want the discomfort of
pets.
And so Esther, who has always had a lot of pets around her before, agreed to allow him
what he wanted, even though she still loves animals and would have liked to have had some up
close to her. And so, as theyre traveling about in their bus they see lots of pets moving around
the campgrounds. And every time Esther would see one, especially one loose somewhere, Esther
would say, Hello, little cat, or hello little dog, would you like to come to Texas and live with
Jerry & Esther Hicks
San Diego, CA 01/12/08

15

me? And Jerry would say, Oh no, that was not our agreement. And they would laugh and that
would be the end of it.
And one day, they were in a campground in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and Esther can
hear Jerry outside making sweet talk with someone. And she looks out the window and theres a
little cat rubbing on his legs while he is checking the air pressure in the tires.
And so then Esther sees Jerry going over to the park office. And she sneaks behind and
follows because she can feel somethings going on. And she hears him asking who this cat
belongs to. And the owner is telling him that someone dumped it off. They dont know where it
came from.
And then, Jerry doesnt talk to Esther about it. Esther doesnt talk to Jerry about it. But
Esther is beginning to feel that feeling you get when one of your desires is about to manifest. She
could feel this Energy moving through her. And so, she is working very hard not to make the
mistake of saying anything that could abruptly turn it in the other direction.
And so then, that night after dark, someone knocks on the door, and it is the park owner.
And shes holding the cat. And she says to Esther, my husband and I have talked about it and
we think you should take this cat. And Esther said You have no idea how long this story is,
but it is not likely that we will be taking the cat, but we will tell you in the morning.
Well now, Esther is certain. The Universe has brought this cat in someones arms right
to her door. Esther can hardly breathe; she is so excited. She is lying in the bed. Jerry can hardly
sleep; he is so sure that something he does not want is about to happen. And so, they are lying
there, neither one of them sleeping. And Esther said, Ill make you a deal. If when we wake up
in the morning, if the cat is nowhere to be seen, that will be the end of it. I wont say a word
about it. But if that cat is on our doorstep, then we will take it as a sign and well take the cat.
And Jerry says, That sounds like a good plan.
So, the next morning, they get up before daylight. Esther is saying in her mind, Here,
kitty, kitty, here kitty, kitty, here kitty, kitty. Jerry is outside pulling the hoses in and such, and
it is just becoming daylight, and no cat anywhere around. The diesel engine has to be warmed up
for six minutes before they move the bus. And so, Esther starts the big engine. And off in the
distance, far away in the tall grass, a little cat is jumping up over the grass and down,
disappearing and then showing itself, disappearing and then showing itself. And the cat came
right to the door of the bus. Jerry opened the door and said, Well, little cat, I guess youre going
to Texas. And in the cat came.
Now, Lovable Cat, LC, stands for Lake Charles, Louisiana Cat, Lovable Cat, a
vibrational match to what both of them wantshe is an independent cat. She is outside at the
office. The girls all love her. There is a cat door in every building possible so that she can come
and go as she wants. She is utterly independent. Jerry got everything that he wanted from this
cat. Esther got everything that she wanted from this cat... You can have everything that you want
if you dont make what someone else wants (that seems in opposition) a big factor in your
vibration, you see.
It is our expectation that you want your children to know that they create their own
reality. It is our expectation that you want them to know that if they focus upon something and
they focus upon it purely, that the Universe will find a way, through the path of least resistance,
to bring it.
And you know, a father who has said, no pets, no pets, no pets, is not exactly the path
of least resistance, but that will not keep the pet from coming. In other words, the Universe is not

Jerry & Esther Hicks

San Diego, CA 01/12/08

16

okaying what your child gets through you. Thats the big thing that parents have a hard time
understanding. The Universe is yielding to the purity of the childs desire.
And it is our knowing that as a parent who is wanting their child to understand about
Law of Attraction, you want them to find ways of coming into alignment with what they want.
And we would say to you that a pet that is able to circumvent your decision not to have a pet
(that comes through the crack of least resistance because of the powerful desire of your child)
would be so readily welcomed by youat many levels of your Beingbecause you want your
children to feel the power of their Being. And you want to wean them from the idea that you are
the vortex through which they come, you see.
A wonderful grandmother walking through the woods one day with her grandchild who
wanted so much a toy gun, and his mother had said no. She did not want him to play violent
games. And so he says, Grandma, will you get me a gun? Well, grandmas not going to get
into the middle of that one. And so grandmother says, This is between you and your mother.
And that day while they walked in the woods, this little boy, knee-deep in leaves in the Fall in
New York, stumbles across something under the leaves. And guess what it was? A toy gun.
When he took it home, his mother said, I guess its yours. In other words, its hard to deny
what the Universe delivers to the pure of heart, you see.
So, your role as a parent is to do your best not to get between them and their belief
about things they want. If we were standing in your physical shoes, there would be nothing that
we believe that we wanted that would supersede our desire for our children to come to
understand the power of their creating their own reality.
And it goes without saying. Of course, you want their Well-Being. And of course, you
want their safety. And of course, you want them to live happily ever after. In other words, there
are so many things that you want for your children and for yourself. But you can have it all. All
of the things that make you feel resistant about a pet are non-essential things. And when you
clean up your vibration, you can see that not only can you have everything that you want, but
everyone you love can have everything that they want, without stepping on your creative toes at
all.
The Universal Manager has the ability to yield to everyone what they want, without any
of you getting in each others way. You dont get in each others way unless you fixate on
something that you dont want them to want and use that as your excuse to mess up your
vibration. But its not somebody else having something that they want that messes up your
vibration, even if its a child bringing a pet into your house. And we know its hard to hear, but it
is so.
Q

Thank you very much.

Did we get there for you?

You did, thank you.

Family doctor has questions regarding suppressed emotions.

Q
Good afternoon. Im a family doctor. So, I see lots of people, mostly they come in for
various physical ailments. And obviously, theres emotional times. They come in for depression,
Jerry & Esther Hicks
San Diego, CA 01/12/08

17

anxiety, and different things. But what Ive seen is, in society, with your Emotional Guidance
System, its very obvious you can go from one end of the scale to the other. But people have
learned to suppress many of those emotions to the extent that eventually, they do start to form
their physical manifestations of the different illnesses that they have. And is there something like
a physical malady guidance, also?
A

You mean?

Q
Well, for example, people will have a minor headache. Or, other people have migraines.
Or someone gets a little bit of indigestion. But other people have irritable bowels, and chronic
abdominal pain.
A
Well, what youre reaching for is this: There are two factors that equal the feeling of
alignment or the feeling of not alignment. And so, lets take it past the feeling of joy to the
feeling of vitality, or the feeling of depression to the feeling of a body breaking down in some
way. The two factors are the desire that life has caused them to summon, therefore, how fast
their Stream is moving, and the other factor is how well they are moving with or not with the
Stream. So, the reason that you have a hard time nailing anything down and writing a book that
says, this emotion always means this, is because the degree to which the Stream is moving and
the degree to which you are not allowing the Stream to move equals the intensity of whatever it is
you are feeling.
By the time something has moved into a physical symptom or indication, it means that
someone has a desire that is going in one direction, and a strong steady habit of thought that is
going in another direction. And so, there is a consistent enough resistance to vibration that now
the evidence of it is being indicated beyond emotion and with sensation or with the manifestation
of something in the body.
So now, ask what it is you are reaching for.
Q
Well, its hard when, mostly when people come with an illness, its more of a physical
manifestation.
A

We know, and theyre not coming to you for psychiatric analysis.

No.

A
And they really dont want to take the time to clean up their vibration. If they did, they
would have cleaned it up long ago and you wouldnt be seeing them. And we know, by the time
they come to you, they have habits of thought that are perpetuating what theyve got going on.
But still, if you are looking for any lasting results with them... do you have the benefit of getting
to see any of them for enough time that you get to know them?
Q

Uh huh.

A
So, as youre getting to know them, and beginning to recognize some of their emotional
patterns, you may begin to say to them, You know, what is it that you are worried about? (is
the best question relative to any illness.) Whats on your mind?
Jerry & Esther Hicks
San Diego, CA 01/12/08

18

And the thing that we want you to be able to tell them, with certainty, is that whats on
their mind right now might be whats broken down on their body. But thats not what made their
body break down. What made their body break down was something else that was chronically on
their mind.
Q

How soon will something physical show up to somebody, as opposed to an emotional?

A
Well, again, thats a bit of a variable, depending upon how fast the Stream is moving.
Heres a good way of explaining that. Sometimes people say, Abraham, is it normal for all hell
to break loose in my life when I begin doing Abraham work? And we say, pretty much because
when you start defining more of the things that you want, your Stream moves faster and faster
and faster. And a faster-moving Stream does not tolerate contradictory Energy as well as a slowmoving Stream.
So, that makes it a little bit difficult to answer that question precisely. But the answer to
your question is: you feel quite a bit of negative emotion, which you ignore, before you get a
physical symptom.
Q

Okay.

A
And thats why its a dilemma to you, because usually by the time someone makes their
way to see you, they have some pretty strong habits of thought that are not going to be overcome
immediately. But that is also why, when you give them a well-known remedy, and they believe
in the remedy, or they believe in you, then the remedy puts them in a more state of allowing than
theyve been relative to that particular symptom. So, they can get recovery, but then they just
turn right around and create something else. Youve only soothed their belief relative to that
disease. You havent soothed their belief relative to whatever it was that caused it to begin with.
Q

Oh yeah. That headache becomes abdominal pain, once they take the Tylenol.

A
Precisely. So what you might say to them is, This remedy is for your headache, but I
dont have that kind of a remedy for the worry that youve got going on. The worry youve got to
figure out. This method might soothe the indication of the worry, but youve got to deal with the
worry if you want any longstanding Well-Being.
See, the medical profession and industry is not wrongfully taking advantage of the mass
public. The mass public and its desire without alignment is what has caused a medical
community to grow as it has. But just letting them know that you know theres more to it than
the symptom, and more to it than the medicine, that their thought is at the basis of it, and that
they can do something about that if they will try a little bit. And then, one of the things that
would really be helpful, if you think you can get away with it without causing any concern from
those who might be watching, is: when you see improvement say, Oh, I can see your moods
really improved. And they say, What do you mean? Because your symptoms have
subsided... Help them make the correlation between what theyre getting and how theyve been
feeling.
Q

Okay, great, thank you.

And document every one of them, and make a book, if you want to. You were born to
do that. No pressure here. (Fun!) Please yourself. But youll never be happy unless you fulfill
your intentions.
San Diego, CA Workshop Closing.
We think you are hearing the power of telling your new story. And we think even from
those who have been brave enough and willing enough to sit in the hot seat and play with us, you
can see that telling a new story is not the easiest thing to do, first crack out of the box. In other
words, its something that you have to sort of warm up to.
But if you leave here with a determination to begin telling the story of your life on
every subject as you want it to be, rather than as it is, and you begin to notice the instant,
benevolent, cooperative response of the Universe to your story, you will in very short order be
one who is willing to let bygones be bygones, and ex-partners be ex-partners, and grudges and
mistakes of others and your own, you will be willing to let complaints and ill wishes, and bad
blood, and injustice, and bad behavior of all manner, you will begin to let it goas you tell the
new story.
You will purify your vibration of the stuff you dont like, you didnt like, you never
liked, and you will replace it with the things you do like, you do appreciate, and you do want.
And with far less trouble than you thinkwith far less time and effort than you think,
you will begin to offer a vibration that will net you evidence. And that evidence is nothing more
than the indication of the improved story that you are telling.
Be easy about it. And practice the power of your own mind. And step back into a
remembering of who you are. Remember that you are Source here to create, and that you are
worthy of every idea that comes to you, and that the resources of the Universe are here to assist
you in your creation, as surely as they assist this earth in spinning in its orbit, in perfect
proximity to other planets.
There is no greater creator than you, and no greater reason to create than the subjects of
your life. And everything that you create is for the purpose of the joyous satisfaction that it gives
you, as the Source within you expands and youre in on itnow.
All-That-Is benefits by that which you are. With every thought you think, and with
every desire that you give birth to, the Universe expands and future generations will benefit
dramatically by your effort. But its not just future generations that are to benefit by that which
you are livingit is you. You are supposed to live the benefit of your Beingness here and now.
And it is only through your joyous quest that that is possible.
It is our desire that you be selfish enough to want to feel good, and willing to do
whatever it takes to feel good, even if it means ignoring those who lie to you, ignoring those
things that you disapprove of, and turning your undivided attention to the things that you like.
If there are 100 things surrounding you in your immediacy and one of them is good, and
the other 99 are rotten, if you will focus on the onethe other 99 must leave you. If you are
surrounded by 100 things and 99 of them are good and one of them is rotten, and you focus upon
the one that is rotten in your quest to quell the problemthe other 99 will become rotten too.
That is the power of your focus.
So, use the power of your focus and the Guidance that comes forth from within, and
work every day to stand wherever you are and to see the world through the eyes of Source. And

as you do, your lovers will look more lovely, and those who have been annoying you will annoy
you less, or go away altogether... You cannot hold in your experience unpleasant things when
you are looking for that which is pleasant. And you cannot bring to your experience pleasant
things when you are fixated on something unpleasant. Its just as simple as that.
Tune yourself to what you want, and watch how cooperative the Law of Attraction and
this Universe will be for you.
We have enjoyed this interaction immensely. And, as always, we remain blissfully
incomplete.
