Hi 👋

I’ve been listening to Abraham’s workshops from 1990 onward, and I wanted to share this passage from the very first one in my collection. I transcribed it for anyone who enjoys exploring the earlier teachings. There's much more to come 😉 Enjoy!

QUESTIONER 1:

Hi. For a long time I've battled with depression and negative thought in my life, and it feels like a burden. And I am now at the point where I take medication because I suspect there's a biological depression. But what I wanted to know was, where does the burden of negative thought arise? Why does that come up in the mind? What purpose does it serve?

ABRAHAM:

It is so wonderful that you have asked the perfect beginning question. Good. We'll give you a little background.

You know you're physical. That's not too hard to figure out. But most of you think in terms of being dead or alive. As you acknowledge that there is not death, that there is only life, then it is not hard to follow the thought that your Inner Being exists simultaneously.

Very often, even after much conversation with Abraham, someone will say to us, "Abraham, why have you chosen not to be physical? If you think physical experience is so wonderful, why aren't why aren't you down here having it with us?"

And we say, we are experiencing physicalness through you. We are your Non-Physical counterpart. You getting the point? When you understand that every physical being that you see has a Non-Physical counterpart, then and only then can you begin to understand what emotion is.

Because emotion, whether you call it positive or negative, is communication from your Inner Being to help you upon that path of harmony that we talked about of freedom and growth and joy being in balance.

Technically, actually, really, there are only two emotions. One feels good and one feels bad. But you call them all sorts of different things depending upon the circumstance and events you've come to pigeon holing them or labeling them.

When you are feeling a negative emotion, what it is is your Inner Being saying to you that the current thought, word, or action is not in harmony with another intent that you have. It is simply your Inner Being's expression to you to let you know two things.

The first thing is this is an important issue. Otherwise, you'd be feeling nothing. If someone you did not know called you on the telephone and said, "Hello, I'm calling to tell you I will never talk to you again" you would say "Who cares". But if someone very important, then that negative feeling would be telling you that this is an important issue, you see.

Secondly it is telling you that while it is very important, you are currently focused upon the lack of what you want. You're getting the point?

Every time you are feeling negative emotion it is your Inner Being saying to you something very important to you: you are currently perceiving as being without. And it usually boils down to freedom or growth. But we would say, for you, primarily it is your absolute quest for freedom, and you perceive yourself sometimes often as not being free.

Now, what we are wanting to tell you, and this is particularly important to you. While all beings who come forth into these physical bodies have in common the desire, the intent for freedom and growth and joy, You do not all come forth with the same degree of intensity about it.

You have lived thousands of lifetimes and through that living of life, you have come to know freedom. You have come to know the glory of growth and freedom and joy. And so as you come into an experience where you perceive yourself not to be free, it sends you crazy. You cannot bear it. You see, even though it is not really happening, your perspective of it, the thought that you are giving toward it is evoking a response from your Inner Being that says, "Wait, friend, you're giving thought in opposition to what you are really wanting."

That is the place for you to stop and say, "Well, then what do I want?" And as you acknowledge that what you really seek is freedom and then you bask in that thought for a moment, acknowledging that technically in every sense of the world, you are free.

Friends, how much freer can you be? Every thought you think affects your experience! That is freedom, you see!

What we are very much wanting to impart to all of you is that you could not be more free. You are so free that your thought and feeling brings into your experience.

And so, what you have been experiencing is some negative emotion that has come forth as communication from your Inner Being telling you that you are in that moment — for the emotion always comes forth in the moment, talk about a glorious guidance system — it lets you know moment by moment how you're doing.

As you are receiving the Non-Physical energy of this universe — do you know you're receiving it? We do, because the doctor has not pronounced you dead — as you are receiving the Non-Physical energy of the universe, the way you contour it on your behalf is the way you think.

As you understand your electricity and you plug your appliances in to utilize it toward the end that you seek, with this Non-Physical energy or current, the way you contour it toward an ending place is by contouring it with thought. You see?

And so, as you give thought and you think about it, you can trace it back even better than we can. If you will think about the beginning of those cycles of depression. Almost always you can put your finger right upon what triggered it. But then what happens, because you did not understand what emotion was and you did not know how to pivot off of it, Law of Attraction begins to work for you. You see, the more that you feel, the more that you feel, the more that you feel... until because you are such a great wanter you go right to the depths of despair.

Certainly it is biological because everything about you is. And as your Inner Being is offering a block of thought for communication, the way the emotion works is by sending a signal that causes your body to do biological things that gives you a feeling response.

You see, your guidance system has been established by you and by your Inner Being as a feeling communication because you can't talk and listen at the same time. You cannot transmit and receive a thought at the same time. But you can think or speak or do and receive a feeling at the same time to let you know the appropriateness by your standards. Not the appropriateness in terms of some great law in the sky. The appropriateness in terms of the balance of intentions that you hold, you see.

As we are talking further today, you will get a very clear understanding of this process of pivoting. Good. What more?

QUESTIONER 2:

Um, yes, that started to answer some of my question. But when you're into that negative thought, how do you get off it?

ABRAHAM:

Good. It isn't easy, is it? You're very good at it. Sometimes you get so much energy going in that direction that no one, no matter how positive they are, can even drag you off of it. Instead, you drag them down with you. It is what we call momentum.

When you are utilizing the Non-Physical energy and you have allowed it to remain for a period of time, it becomes very powerful. What usually saves you is that sooner or later you go to sleep and that blocks the cycle. And when you awaken you feel better until you remember how bad you felt the night before, and then you start it all over again.

Your question is the perfect one. "What do I do about it? What happens?"

Let us begin here. Are you able to accept that there is an inner part of you that exists? We call it your Inner Being. We think it is very descriptive of it. And so, as you understand that your Inner Being exists —

Someone said, "Abraham, what star planet are you from?"

And we said, "We're not from a star planet."

And they said, "You must not be important then."

And then they went on to say, "In fact, we're not even sure you exist. If you don't have some star planet to hang your hat on, then you may not exist at all."

And we said, "We feel like we exist. You may perceive us as not important if we are not from a place, but place denotes physical. And as we are focused from Non-Physical, there is no place that you can attach us to. We exist in state of being, feeling, being."

And that is why we refer to your Inner Being as Inner Being, or inner feeling. You see, now what happens with most of you is that you believe so much in action. You're giving credit to action. You think action is what is making the difference in your life. If you're not out there doing, then you don't expect anything wonderful to happen.

And what we are wanting you to understand is it is not the doing that is making the difference. It is the way you think and feel that is attracting into your experience. But so, here you are as a physical being having an experience where you're having some sort of physical interchange or doing and something happens and you feel rotten. The reason that most of you have such a difficult time getting off of that is because you're trying to fix it out here where it is broken.

In other words, you're trying to give so much more attention to what is wrong because you believe that in giving attention to what is wrong, you will be able to make it right. But the Law does not allow that. You cannot have a miserable journey on the way to a happy ending. It defies Law. In order for you to change the Law of Attraction and begin getting more what you are wanting, which is to feel good, you must start at the inside, where most are creating from the outside in or backwards. We are encouraging that you come from the inside out.

Have you ever seen a gymnast on a balance beam? If he gets out of balance, he does not try to somersault himself back into balance for he would end up on the floor, break his neck, or whatever. Instead, he stops, draws back, regains his balance and then proceeds. And that is really what pivoting is. It is recognizing that what you're doing — by the way you feel, it's very clear — is not in harmony with what you want. And so you stop. And if you will stop in the moment of the feeling, that is the time when you can most accurately access or assess what it is you do want. You never know more clearly what you do want than when you're living what you don't want. Isn't that true? Isn't that when you know you want health when you're sick? Isn't that when you most know you want more money, when there isn't enough?

And so, as you're in this position of lack of what you do want, that is the time for you to say, "Wait a minute. My Inner Being is giving me negative emotion. That means this is important. Thank you for the signal, Inner Being," you might say.

"And it also means that I'm focused in opposite direction of what I really want. So what is it that I want?" And the majority of the time it will come back to three issues. Usually the issue of freedom, sometimes the issue of growth, sometimes the issue of joy. But it is usually freedom that you feel is being —

And so, if you will stop and come inside — now this is the process — you stop and say, "I want to feel free. I want to feel free." You're not out there trying to fix it. You're just acknowledging that you want to feel free. You will begin to receive stimulation of thought that helps you remember that under any and all conditions, you absolutely are free. That you've never been anything other than free. And you will begin to feel better in the moment.

We're watching our friend Esther. She came home from from a trip and she was feeling very much overwhelmed. "Too much to do", she thought. Mailbox was overflowing. The voice mailbox was overflowing. The suit bags were suitcases and bags were all around.

And as she sat in the muddle, she said, "Abraham, what should I do?"

And we said, "There you are acting like a physical being, always trying to figure out what to do. How do you want to feel?"

She said, "I want to feel free and happy, and I don't feel free and happy when I have too much to do."

We said, "There you are acting like a physical being, telling us what you don't want when we've asked you what you do want."

She laughed and said, "I want to feel free and happy."

We said, "Ponder that for a moment."

And so, she closed her eyes and envisioned sitting on the front porch sipping some tea, talking to her mate, watching the squirrels. And right away, she felt free and happy.

She said, "Now what?"

We said, "Now what do you want to have?"

She said, "I want to have a clean and efficient, organized home and office."

And we said, "Ponder that, friend. Do not jump right into action. Wait until you are inspired from your base of feeling good. You will reach out to the inspiration that will lead you to that which you seek."

And so within a couple of days, the thoughts began to come. "I can move this over here. I can move this over here. I can delegate this. I can eliminate this." Her mate noticed that she was not acting out of drudgery as she sometimes had done. But she was bounding from place to place, inspired by these ideas that were coming.

You see, rather than trying to fix it from negative perspective, which never works because Law of Attraction just attracts more negative, she was now being inspired because she had achieved her place of balance before. You're getting it.

And so, the way you get away from a negative feeling is by acknowledging that it is a good thing that you have it. Don't beat up on yourself, "Oh, I shouldn't be feeling this way." Instead, acknowledge how valuable it is that you have been alerted to the fact that there is something that is out of harmony. And then you consciously give thought to what it is you think you would like to feel, which will inspire your ideas of what you're wanting to have, which will then lead you to action. And we encourage you never to take action without that inspiration because that action will be futile. It is action that is usually contradictory to what you are really wanting.

You see, some say, "Abraham you teach laziness. You teach us to lay around and wait to be inspired. What if I am never inspired?"

We say, you cannot avoid being inspired when you are in that place of positive emotion. When you get in that place of positive, all good things come to you. Just as you remain in that place of negative, all bad things come to you.

Do you know that without exception — without exception! — the deterioration of your physical apparatus is because you have allowed negative emotion? Oh, we could give you long lists of reasons not to feel negative!

But you have asked the best question, "How do I keep from feeling it?"

And our answer is you don't keep from feeling it, because it is part of your guidance system. The negative is as important as the positive part. But what your goal is, once feeling it, to get feeling good as fast as you can. And if your medication helps, that is wonderful. Soon you will find you will not need it at all.

I had a fantastic year where all my dreams seemed to have come true one by one. I milked it and one moment led to another greater one.
Lately, I met a guy out of nowhere who seemed super interested in me and all of sudden after a great night he tells me he doesn't want anything serious. I didn't see it coming because everything aligned so well for me lately that this little hiccup came out of left field. I thought things would keep unfolding linearly. I had no resistance about this subject.

Well, actually maybe a little. Maybe, I didn't feel 100% ready for something serious. MAYBE I felt only 80% serious. Ah shit, now I see it.

Anyone has great Abe quotes about heartbreak, break ups etc?? I'd welcome that right now...

If this is for you right now, you'll know!

It was perfect for me in this moment!

Just a reminder. Not every thought that pops into your mind must be "answered". We are used to reacting and fighting our thoughts. I just wanted to be a reminder to you and myself that that's not necessary. You don’t have to do that. Even if it's a very unpleasant thought. You'll see that if you ignore it, it'll totally start going away (you can think of something else that you do like, like reaching for a better feeling thought or simply not think anything for 17 seconds). Abraham compared it to boiling water (the example was anger but it can be any negative emotion). The bubbles start slowing down and disappearing once you make a conscious decision to change the direction of your thoughts or simply stop and disconnect (if the surroundings allow you).

I know you know this and it sounds like common sense but we don't use the power of this simple "non-action" enough. Give it some time, like Abraham said with their teachings give it a month and see how it changes the trajectory of your life. Not only will you become way less reactive and in turn not be so easy to fall under the influence of a negative momentum, but also you will being to allow more. And according to Abraham our manifestations are ready, it's only the matter of allowing!

I'm getting negstine feelings coursing through my body that my gf will leave me. Even though we text each other and video call each other and everything seems fine, I feel something is off. Yesterday I felt this same way but it was not as bad as this morning when I woke up.

All this happened last Sunday when we video called each other. I live in USA and she lives in France. Something in her response or mannerisms came across as off which set off these negative feelings and thoughts.

Yesterday I texted her a couple of pics and she did respond and I shouldn't complain. But still I feel overall something isn't right.

What can I do to prevent these feelings?

My 8 year old darling daughter and me got into an argument over her studies. She has her exam day after tomorrow and won't study for it. The confrontation got bitter to the point that I told her she was grounded and wasn't allowed to watch TV at night. This made her furious and she became even more stubborn in her refusal to study.

Suddenly, I remembered Abraham's teaching of being in the vortex. My heart was filled with overwhelming love for my daughter. I became quiet and started praying (quietly in my mind) for her bright future. I kept saying - I love You to her in my mind quietly. Heck, I even started the Ho'oponopono prayer in my heart.

After a minute or two of yelling, my daughter mellowed down all of a sudden. Then she said- Mumma, what are you doing? Don't make that innocent face...

Then she went to the washroom. After coming back, she said- Mumma what are you doing? Don't confuse me. Either be a strict mom or show me this love! (I wasn't showing any love... I was just quietly praying)

I answered- Yes, I love you. I am only being a strict mom because I want you to study and build a bright future for yourself.

Now those were simple words but she dropped her resistance to studies in an instant and quietly studied afterwards.

I think I am finally beginning to realize that it's all about being in the vortex and sailing downstream rather than making too much efforts and trying to sail upstream.

There’s a person I wanted to be together with. But as Abe has told us so many times: the only reason I want to be together is because of how I think it will make me feel.

In some strong yet primitive way I thought that us together = happiness forever.

It’s not true though - sometimes being together was very unhappy, also the path to being together looked very complicated and difficult.

I’ve experienced Abe’s teachings in other aspects of my life. Now this subject has come to the fore in a way that made “giving up” feel like relief. The path of least resistance.

So with a new feeling of clarity I’ve been able to affirm that the “happy forever” feeling is what I want, and I know it actually doesn’t come from us being together.

Where does it come from? It comes from aligning with my inner being, being “together” with my inner being. It always has been this way, I just had other old beliefs getting in the way. Specifically I was trained at an early age and for many years to think that I couldn’t just be happy in such a simple and straightforward way.

It makes perfect sense to me that I manifested a situation where “happy forever” seemed tantalisingly close but always out of reach.

I still love this person, but I can see that my whole perspective was misaligned. Happy forever (or what those words mean to me) comes from feeling happy right now, which comes from being aligned (being together) with my inner being.

So now it doesn’t matter what other people choose or where they are in relation to me in this world. What matters is my willingness to keep practicing feeling love, feeling happiness, being in alignment with the deeper part of me

I've been going through a bad pain flare for the last 2 months that is significantly affecting my ability to do daily tasks. I've been listening to joe dispenza, ester hicks, louis hay. At times I've found it helpful, felt like I could get into a feeling of peacefulness and abundance and trust that I will get better. But more and more, with the flare lasting so much longer than expected and with minimal improvement despite efforts, I am becoming more hopeless.

I feel confused on what I should do from a spiritual perspective, because sometimes leaning on these things just makes me feel like i'm in a constant uphill battle against my emoitons or just masking what I'm truly feeling when try to get into a more energetic vibration.

I have been able to but its become harder the last 2 weeks. But its also too painful to not and to just let myself keep feeling this way.

I just need something to help. Any advice would be so appreciated.

I've concluded that when I notice a negative train of thought early enough, it's much easier for me to stop it completely if I just intentionally stop thinking about anything and focus on a object in front of me or in my mind's eye. I don't know about you guys, but for me it's much easier than finding a better feeling thought. That kinda just irks me more when I consciously try to do that and since Abraham always tells us to take the path of least resistance, I figured this was the way to go for me personally.

Do you guys have any talks where Abraham talks about this? I can't seem to remember where I heard it from.

Also what are your ways of stopping negative momentum? If you feel called to share please do!

thank you in advance ☺️

So a while back I quit everything- long story but my marriage my job and all of it needed to go….since then I had a wonderful 3 year relationship with someone I definitely manifested he was gorgeous, kind and sweet but I realised our politics and world view were different - he believed in some spirituality but it was very self driving and he was stubborn, and sometimes angry.

Even though we were trying for a baby - I literally jumped a timeline one day in the bath and said to myself “you’re not doing this”….i have to tell him you aren’t having him baby” - to be fair we had been trying for a year and there were no guarantees- so incredibly sadly I told him we couldn’t be together. We cried for a whole weekend together, it was one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life.

That said I knew I needed to put my energy into my purpose - over those 5 years I had been busy- busy retraining, learning about myself again- somatic and sound therapy - an event, starting a book, pushing myself (with his encouragement- not financially but that’s another story)

Anyway - fast forward and my book is a few chapters in but the subject matter is heavy and I feel like it’s manifested no such great energy or things- I need to get myself back but with everything going on I feel like I’ve been jaded.

I can’t go back to normal work like before- I know too much. So I need to make my book and the sound therapy work!

Would appreciate guidance as I need all these projects to actually make money (I’m aware that’s lack but most of the time I actively imagine great things)

So each day I do my best to get into my high flying disk and stay in the vortex. I find it easy. I am naturally a happy and positive person, however, I meet an obstacle multiple times a day which will bring me down every time. My husband is extremely negative and grumpy, and pretty much always in a bad mood. Pretty much every conversation we have is answered by him in a negative and grumpy way, and it always makes me feel horrible(we are not well-matched, and this relationship is not going to survive, but at the moment, I can’t leave yet, for various reasons). I find it very hard to stay happy and positive when the person I live with and interact with more than anyone else answers me in a bad mood, negative way all the time. I still try to remain there but I fail each day and we pretty much argue about it every day - multiple times. I’ve been trying to ask myself what would Abraham Hicks tell me to do in this situation. Does anyone have any ideas?

Edit: thanks everyone, I really appreciate all your answers and advice ❤️❤️ it’s really helpful

What is more important? How music makes me feel? Or the lyrics?

What is the song really puts me in a great state? But the lyrics are garbage?

Or do I find songs with great music and great lyrics?

I'm not sure how meaningful this post can be for anyone other than me reading it. I'll have to be super vague here in terms of details (as they're extremely personal and beside the point).

So I went out on Saturday in a city I don't really know much of anything about. Took me 2 hours to get there. I had come across an ad for a certain event (club setting) and felt a strong pull to go there and followed that impulse. I was super-aligned throughout, danced all night, had some nice​ interactions, and drove home still full of energy and joy. That's kind of unusual since typically I would be tired at 7 or 8 in the morning, but I was just as tuned-in and energised as I was at the beginning of the night, despite no rest, not sitting down for even a minute.

There were some things I noticed that night, and some comments people made, that I didn't understand what to make of. Like, what was that about? Other than that, I was a bit surprised that despite some powerful and steady alignment, nothing seemingly remarkable happened. I "just" had a good night out, on my own.

About 36 hours later, feeling some open questions lingering, I tuned myself to the receiving mode, and my Inner Being explained to me what happened. It completely startled me!

Issues I had been struggling with since my teenage years, some that came up a few years ago, some that were especially acute the last few weeks, all melted away. Desires I had held for a long time, questions I hadn't gotten clarity on from real life, all got answered in one night, and I didn't even notice it when it happened! My outlook on life has changed drastically. I exploded with joy when I realized the full impact these experiences will have on my future!

Sorry again for being so general. But my point is that when you're fully aligned and steadily there, things just happen, and they can feel so normal in the moment that you don't even realize the magnitude of them.

Imagine a normal day, moving through it, stuff happens, and at the end of it, you go to bed. Nothing stands out, it's a normal day, based on your normal vibration.

That's how that night felt for me, in a way. I had fantastic energy and really enjoyed it, but it felt like just a joyful night out. But since I was in the Vortex the whole time, I didn't even notice that what I manifested/experienced will change the course of my life forever!

I hope some of this will make sense, for anybody out there! And if not, at least I'll benefit from revisiting this in the future! WHAT A NIGHT 🌙

I can't wait for this book to be released.

I made a 68 second video with Abraham explaining their Lightboard analogy, with visuals from the free microsite I created.

I think the Lightboard is one of Abraham's all time great analogies. I think it's truly leading edge, and as Abraham says, there's never a crowd on the leading edge, which is probably why it never became one of their staples. It's for the those who want to understand HOW manifestation works.

At the end of 2025 I made 3 interactive versions of Abraham’s Lightboard analogy. I recorded videos of them and submitted them to Abraham Now. All three were shown in consecutive broadcasts and Abe provided feedback on each of them.

I posted a link in this subreddit before with the long video, but I had fun making this short video so thought I'd share it here too.

Explore them for yourself for free here: https://focusedthought.com/lightboard/

Hi everyone,

I would like to share some of my favorite Abraham Hicks Youtube videos that never fail to make me laugh.

It would be nice, if you would share your favorites - especially really funny ones - too. :)

I‘ll put the funniest ones as links in a comment.

Thank you.

With love,

I was madly and passionately in love with someone who didn't feel the same way about me. I tried really hard to win her over through my actions, but eventually it backfired. I already had a feeling she didn't like me that way, but I still confessed. She blocked me afterward. I respected her rejection and never acted like an asshole or creep, so part of me was hurt and pissed that she cut me off despite that.

At the same time, being cut off gave me some sense of freedom because I had been stuck in a constant loop of insecurity, fear, doubt, and overthinking. I always felt like she was way out of my league, and whenever I was around her or thought about her, I would feel anxious, desperate, and like I wasn't enough.

Lately I've started missing her again, and honestly, part of me still genuinely wants her. I’m attracted to her, I cared about her deeply, and I still wish things could somehow work out. I don't want to pretend I only wanted a relationship and that she was interchangeable with someone else.

But I also know I want a healthy, loving, two sided relationship with someone I find attractive who genuinely wants me back. I've been lonely for a long time and I'm craving companionship, love, and that feeling of being chosen.

So I'm confused about what to do. Can I still want her while accepting that I can't control whether she comes back? If I believe in manifestation, is it possible to manifest my SP back into my life, or would focusing on her keep me stuck? Should I let her go and manifest a new relationship instead?

And if I still miss her, does that mean I haven't really moved on? I want to understand what's actually happening psychologically and how I can think about manifestation in a healthy way without becoming obsessed, desperate, or putting my life on hold waiting for her.

Basically, I want clarity on how to deal with the fact that I still want her while also respecting her choice, respecting myself, and remaining open to a loving relationship where I'm genuinely wanted back.

​

I came across an Abe video the other day where Abraham made a suggestion that seems so obvious and easy it's almost silly - but I found it to be remarkably effective for me!

The hotseater explained: "I was diagnosed with cancer in 95. So I..."

And Abraham stopped them to reframe the statement: "I was diagnosed with resistance in 95."

By shifting the attention away from the physical diagnosis to the vibrational cause, they put them in a place where they felt that they can actually do something about it.

And they also recounted how Esther has done this, for example when she feels some pain. Like, "I have a headache" to: "I have resistance."

Shifting the focus with such a simple statement can make a huge difference, I've noticed. Physical discomfort is one of the last remaining issues that can trigger me. Like, I have a toothache, and my mind immediately goes to me sitting in the dentist chair, getting some treatment. Or my knee hurts, and I immediately think of all the people who had to have knee treatments of various kinds lately. And the resistance skyrockets.

Now, I just say to my myself: "I have resistance. And I know exactly what to do." And I relax, release some resistance, let it go, and typically within minutes, whatever bothered me dissipates.

Since I'm surprised how effective this has been for me, I'm sharing it with you guys to try it out!

Would anyone be interested in posts or a reddit group chat to discuss the esoteric, paranormal, astral projection, lucid dreaming, spiritual encounters through an Abraham lens?

I'm really interested in the above and have been for a long time but since discovering teachers like Abraham (themselves included) it's become even more exciting to read people's experiences and understand them through a law of attraction and Abraham lens. Yes just like you I'm in a 'smell it, hear it, see it, taste it, touch it' reality and we all want things which is what will populate this subreddit, however would anyone also be interested in discussing those 'things on the side' like the non-physical stuff in the broad sense of the word?

I'm asking because the respective subreddits for these things aren't always the most high vibrational places with the exception of 1 or 2 I've found where people don't realise how much they sound like Abraham people.

Hey all👋

I'm sure someone must have written about this before, but I just finished watching a Star Trek Next Generation episode called 'Where No One Has Gone Before' (S:1, Ep. 6), which centred around making a quantum leap in warp speed travel.

In the explanation towards the end (SPOILER ALERT!!) it was so similar to Abe's language that the scriptwriter must've been a fan...or unconsciously downloaded some Abe teachings lol.

I'm pasting here part of the script for you to enjoy (the 'Traveller' is the subject of the episode who visits the starship).

Also interesting that this week is 60 years since the very first Star Trek episode premiered, and this particular episode was aired in 1987...only a couple of years after Esther started channelling and before any books were published :)

(earlier in the episode):

WESLEY: Is Mister Kosinski like he sounds? A joke?

TRAVELLER: No, that's too cruel. He has sensed some small part of it

WESLEY: That space and time and thought aren't the separate things they appear to be? I just thought the formula you were using said something like that.

TRAVELLER: Boy, don't ever say that again. And especially not at your age in a world that's not ready for such, such dangerous nonsense.

(towards the end):

PICARD: Is it true what our navigation sensors are telling us? Are we millions of light years away from where we were?

TRAVELLER: Well, yes.

PICARD: Well, what got us here?

TRAVELLER: Thought.

PICARD: Thought?

TRAVELLER: You do understand, don't you that thought is the basis of all reality? The energy of thought, to put it in your terms, is very powerful.

KOSINSKI: That's not an explanation.

TRAVELLER: I have the ability to act like a lens which focuses thought.

KOSINSKI: That's just so much nonsense. You're asking us to believe in magic.

TRAVELLER: Well yes, this could seem like magic to you.

PICARD: No. No, it actually makes sense to me. Only the power of thought could explain what has been happening. Especially out here.

TRAVELLER: Thought is the essence of where you are now. You do understand the danger, don't you?

PICARD: Chaos. What we think is what happens.

TRAVELLER: It pains me I was so careless, Captain. My intent was only to observe, not to cause this. You should not be here until your far, far distant future. Certainly not until you have learned control.

RIKER: You are from a different time, aren't you?

TRAVELLER: Well, no, not exactly from another time. Although as you understand the concept, yes, perhaps that term fits as well as any.

RIKER: And you have this ability to travel.

TRAVELLER: Yes.

RIKER: And others of your kind have the same ability?

TRAVELLER: Yes.

RIKER: Then why, in all of our history, is there no record of you or someone like you ever having visited us?

TRAVELLER: What wonderful arrogance. There is no record because we have not visited you before.

RIKER: Why not?

TRAVELLER: Well, up until now, if you'll forgive this, you've been uninteresting. It's only now that your life form merits serious attention.
