Are you aware that whatever you are giving your attention to, is
really focusing You? You are Source. You are Nonphysical Energy. You
are mostly Vibration, but as you are expressing through these
physical bodies, it's easy to forget who you really are, because, as
you stand in your bodies, living the results, or manifestations, of
all of that focus, you tend to get wrapped up in the end product of
the Vibration, rather than being aware of your being, in the moment
of your offering the Vibration.

So, physical human life sometimes is not as sweet and delicious as it
could be, when you, instead of being aware of your in-the-moment
vibration, and therefore your in-the-moment Connection to the Source,
and therefore your in-the-moment creation of your experience, you
sometimes spend more time evaluating what has been created, than you
do being in the moment of creation.

As you stand in your now and you look out into world events, or even
those events that are up close to you, and you see unwanted things,
there is this tendency to let whatever it is that you are seeing be
more important than it ever needs to be--because everything is
changing constantly in response to the Vibration that you are
emitting.

It would be sort of like setting your radio dial on one station and
then complaining about what you're hearing, when there are so many
other choices that you could tune into. It's like sometimes you have
it stuck on one station which you really don't like very much, but
then, you just keep commenting to one another how unpleasant that one
station is.

Anything that's happening in your experience, whether it's a physical
condition, even one of a diagnosed illness that is dramatic and
scary, or, financial troubleÉ even if it is looming very large and
very big, or, a relationship, unsteadiness or discomfort, even if it
is strong, we want you to realize that those things are only
happening to you because you're stuck on a station that you could
change so easily if you just would look at it in that way.


Select what you give your attention to.


We want to assist you in feeling, more, your powerful, in-this-
moment, opportunity to select what you give your attention to, in
order to adjust your own vibration. And when you select what you are
giving your attention to, in order to adjust your own vibration,
then, you affect either your allowance or your disallowance, either
your allowance or your resistance, either your good-feeling or your
bad-feeling--either your positive emotions or your negative emotions.
It's all the same thing!

You are able to adjust your Connection with your Source, which is
everything. When you are fully allowing your Connection with your
Source, you are radiant; you are clear-minded; you are joyful; you
feel good in the moment; you're usually smiling; your heart is
swelling; you feel appreciation; you feel love; you feel fantastic;
you are in love with life. It's like that first day of vacation
feeling all the time. In other words, it's that feeling of awakening
and feeling free, and knowing that all is well, and feeling
adventurous and eager about the way your life unfolds. That's what
Connection to your Source feels like.

And we say, folks, you've just got to start focusing, because you
cannot control the conditions of your environment. And you cannot
feel good when you look at conditions that do not please you. And the
reason you don't feel good when you look at conditions that don't
please you, is because you are choosing to look at something that
your Source does not join you in.

Jerry and Esther were saying goodbye to LC, (Lovable Cat) and Esther
said, "Goodbye, LC, we're going to be gone a really long time." And
LC looked at Esther and said, "I don't care." And Esther said, "But
LC, you are going to miss my sweet face. I'm not going to be petting
you every day. I'm not going to be looking out for you. I'm going to
be gone a really long time." And LC said, "So long. Goodbye. I'll be
fine. In fact, I won't even think about you while you're gone." And
something within Esther, while she adores this little cat, really
would feel better if LC would miss her a little, because, isn't
suffering in the absence of someone you love, proof of love? But,
we're really wanting to help you to feel the absurdity of that, even
though it's rampant in your society.


Your cat will do what is best for it.


We're wanting you to want so much for your own personal joy, that you
can be as selfish as your cat. Your cat, who may focus upon you in
the moment, or may not, but we promise you, your cat will do whatever
is best for it. And where humans got the idea that their own
individual, personal suffering was in any way good for anybody else,
defies all Laws of all Universes that we have ever encountered.
Feeling good is good, and is your indication of your full Connection
with who You are. So, we're wanting to help you to remember, to
reorient you, to, almost to shock you into, the awareness that every
Consciousness, which includes your full human form, and even the
cells in your body--every Consciousness is, and must continue to be,
selfishly oriented. Because, unless you are reaching for what is
individually best for self, you cannot stay connected to Source. And
the Whole, that is Well-Being based, cannot continue to be.

Your freedom will truly come to you when you learn to exercise the
power of your own focus. And we have never met anyone who could
exercise the power of their own focus, who didn't first decide, "I
really, really, really want to feel good. Nothing is more important
than that I feel good. Everything other than that is irrelevant. I am
going to focus upon that which feels good." As you begin to let
feeling good be your dominant quest, everything in your environment
begins to take shape to that--because your environment is coming in
response to your thoughts.

Do you get that? Your environment comes in response to your thoughts.
So often, humans play it the other way around. Their thoughts come in
response to their environment. That's why you're quite often wanting
to control your environment. You say, "Let's get the bad stuff out,
and the good stuff in. Let's vote it out. Let's bomb it out. Let's
boycott it out. Let's penalize it out. Let's find some ways of
punishing enough that the bad stuff stays away." You can't punish
enough that the bad stuff stays away. You're wanting to adjust your
vibration, so that you become a Vibrational Match to that which you,
personally, have identified as that which is good.

Whenever you look out into your world and see things that are wanted,
we know how good that feels. And we can understand how you would want
to promote those good things. And then when you look out into your
world and you see things not wanted, we can understand how you would
not want to promote those bad things. But what we are saying to you
here is--the promotion, every bit of it, happens by your attention to
it.

There are those who say, "If we do not give our attention to unwanted
things, then the unwanted things will overtake us." And we say, when
you give your attention to unwanted things--more unwanted things will
come.

The basis of your life is freedom; you are so free, you can choose to
direct your thought anywhere. Joy is your quest; feeling good is what
matters most; and, of course, your expansion, or growth, is the
natural result of your being focused.

So, as we are moving forward here, realizing that all things are
possible, what's the best utilization of this time together?


Let's look for the path of most allowance.


We're going to look for Paths of Most Allowance; we may call it the
Path of Least Resistance, because, whether it is the Path of Most
Allowance or the Path of Least Resistance, it's the same thing. It's
the path that allows; it's the thought path, the words, the imagery,
the picture, the memory, the projection of thought, the processes,
the tools, the tricks.

Esther was telling Jerry that one of the strongest feelings of highs
that she has ever felt was when she was pulling the monster bus into
the RV resort in Chula Vista, and she had that feeling of
anticipation of getting onto their parking space, and taking their
walks on the bay, and feeling the ocean air in their lungs, and
watching the sunsets. In other words, there was that moment: she
pulled through the gate, and pulled the big parking air brakes that
go "pssssst!" when she does it, and it was sort of like announcing to
the world, "Here we are." And it was a high that was almost
indescribable.

So then, as Esther was trying to regurgitate that feeling, she
discovered that when she thinks only about the monster bus being
parked there, that although she gets a little hit from it, it wasn't
very much. But, she discovered that if she would start at about the
time when they reached El Paso, and think in terms of the delicious
meal that they had at La Posta in Mesilla, and then drive across the
desert and notice the sunset, and then park at that place that is
such a beautiful place out in the Arizona desert and take her walk,
and then get back on the freeway and drive through the open freeways
with hardly any traffic, and then setting the cruise control on about
87, and feeling the power of the monster bus as it sailed across the
desert. And then stopping at a rest stop and having a picnic with
Jerry, and then anticipating where they were going. And then, when
pulling into Chula Vista, oh boy, did she ever get there!

In other words, just by wanting to milk some joyful experience for
the purpose of feeling good now, Esther has discovered that that is
one that she can use over, and over, and over, and over again. Very
often, she goes back to their Center in Texas where a stream has been
man-made, but it looks very, very real. In fact, people who see it
don't know that it has not always been there. And Esther sits on a
bridge, that is made of a big rock, with her feet not quite dangling
in the water, but close to it. And as she sits there, Lovable Cat
comes up from a rock ledge and decides to jump over to another rock,
and literally flies through the air over her head in order to get
there. And when Esther remembers that moment in time, she connects to
Source Energy in a very powerful way. And then, Lovable Cat runs up
the tree and stops long enough to say, "Did you see that?" And then
runs down the tree and stops long enough to say, "Did you see that?"
And runs up the tree, and stops long enough to say, "Did you see
that?" in order to demonstrate her powerful joy in the moment. And
Esther cannot focus upon that without using that as the moment in
time to connect to Source Energy.


Are most of my thoughts good-feeling thoughts?


All of you have these moments in time. Maybe it was a day you met
someone you loved, and you knew it, for the first time. Maybe it was
the first thing that they said to you that made you know that you
really loved them. Maybe it was the first time you slept together.
Maybe it was the first time you ate out together. Maybe it was the
first time you drove somewhere together. But all of you have those
moments in time, that, every time you reflect on them, they take you
to that high, good place.

And our question to you is, why not let as many moments of your day,
as possible, be in thinking about those things that take you to that
high, good place? Because that's the only thing that you need to do
to open your valve to allow the Universe to deliver to you, right
now, all of the things that you've been asking for.

You don't have to explain anything to anyone. You don't have to
justify anything, and in fact, you cannot. The best use of your time
is to find a moment that is pleasing, and milk it for everything that
it is worth. And then, if we were standing in your physical shoes, we
would add them together; we would pretend as if all the happy things
happened at the same time; we'd add to it; we'd make it up; we would
float it into the future. In other words, we would just get on
rampages of joyous mushing and mashing of the deliciousness of our
life experience.


Today's potential for joy is beyond anything anyone has ever lived.


We would never stop talking about how good it is! We would never stop
talking about how good it is, because it is so very good. We have
watched all of the humans who have lived all of the lives, and we
have never seen anything with the potential of what you are standing
on now. The potential for joy in this time/space reality is beyond
anything that anyone has ever lived. And if we were standing in your
physical shoes, we would be using every excuse that we could possibly
find to connect to the Source Energy. And in doing so, every fleeting
little dream that we ever had would float into our experience like
butterflies and say, "Here I am. Here I am. Here I am. Here I am.
Remember me? You dreamed me when you were 12. Remember me? You
dreamed me when you were 18. Remember me? You asked for me yesterday.
Remember me? Remember me? Remember me?"

Because every one of them remembers you. Every desire that you have
ever held has been encoded with your Vibration, and has been making
its way to you. And you don't have to get them all at once. You
wouldn't want to get them all at once. They are strung out in a
perfect array to give you a never-ending unfolding of perfection. You
don't eat all of your meals at the same time--you wouldn't want to.
You want them to come and to be satisfying as they come. And so it is
with orgasms, and so it is with empires, and so it is with
compliments, and so it isÉ

In other words, this is a life-giving experience. This is not only
your life--this is Life living through you. You are the livers of all
of this, you see.
