Changes

ABRAHAM: Yes, a very important [[spiritual]] [[truth]], I would perhaps say the most important, and that is the answers they seek are within their very [[being]]. The best answer for them on their spiritual [[path]] lies within their very own [[heart]]. Yes, teach them about the [[presence]] of the [[Father within]] their own beings. Yes, you can tell them of your [[experience]], but show them that they have their own [[destiny]] to fulfill. Tell them it is not a [[journey]] of ease, but place [[emphasis]] on the [[joy]] that can be found while on this spiritual journey. I [[perceive]] you have done well. Another question.

===='''''[[Stillness]]'''''====

===='''''[[Stillness]]'''''====

R.: Thank you, Abraham, I find that telling of [[experiences]] seems to be of interest because of the [[story]] behind it. The thing that has changed in my [[experience]] that has transformed me is my [[meditation]], to allow the [[Indwelling Spirit]] to [[communicate]] at some level in the [[conscious]] [[mind]] a [[direction]] of the spiritual [[path]]. That is a [[concept]] that is foreign to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Passion_of_the_Western_Mind western mind]. Do you have some suggestions as to how we can approach that?

ABRAHAM: Yes, the word, the [[stillness]], may perhaps be too foreign, whereas [[meditation]] is more recognized. Just as with [[prayer]], the simple talk with [[the Father]] and a moment of receiving is really all one needs to start with. Yes, you are correct, the [[stillness]] is very important to contact the [[Indwelling Father Fragment]], but I would suggest that with this stillness [[exercise]] inform newcomer, beginners, that this exercise is not [[supernatural]], is not [[mysterious]], is not going to be [[miraculous]]. This is [[simple]] and does not require much [[effort]]. Mortals are attracted to [[simplicity]]. If the stillness becomes a [[difficult]] [[exercise]] then it will not be [[practiced]]. Does this help?

To [[think]] [[abundantly]], one must rely on [[the will of our Father]], for it has been told, the sparrows knows not where their [[abundance]] comes from, but they [[trust]] that it will always be there, for [[the Father]] in Heaven lends His watch-care to the sparrows. How much more are you than a sparrow? How much more does your Father watch over you? With that I would also add a [[positive]] [[attitude]] draws [[abundance]]. An attitude of [[thankfulness]] leads to your [[distribution]] of your abundance, not just material [[goods]], but your good-will toward your fellows. Does this help? (Yes. Thank you.) Another [[question]]?

===='''''[[Near Death Experience]]'''''====

===='''''[[Near Death Experience]]'''''====

L.: I have a question, Abraham. Do your know of the work of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Moody Dr. Raymond Moody]? He works with people who tell [[stories]] of having [[after death experiences]] where they hovered over their dead [[bodies]] and they went through a tunnel and they met a [[glorious]] [[being]] of [[light]]. Their stories are very similar. Inaudible. I have been told that he can even get a message to us from someone on the other side. Could you comment on [[near death experiences]]?

ABRAHAM: Yes. Many [[near death experiences]] are almost accurate. Some parts of these [[stories]] are products of the dying material [[brain]], but many are very close. Years and years ago [[this planet]] did not have the medical [[technology]] that it does today. This medical technology has proven to be very beneficial in our [[Correcting Time]]. Many would not go alone on [[faith]]. Many of these near death stories [[attract]] new believers. Yes, these stories can be used as a [[wonderful]] door for people to step through to learn of their own spiritual [[pathway]]. Does this help? (Yes. Thank you.) You’re welcome. Another question? May we make this our last question?
