My take on Abraham's money game.

Hello,

If you're into Abraham Hicks, you've probably tried or least heard about their money games. Here's my money game, with explanations as to how it slightly differs from Abraham's.

One of Abraham's money game's says to put £100 in your pocket and spend it 'vibrationally' by saying "I can buy that if I want to", whenever you see something that you want. By having the £100 in your pocket, you're backing up the fact that if you wanted to, you could buy that thing there and then. Of course this process also transfers to online and card interactions.

The above process doesn't work so well for me because I always think to myself "yeah but if I actually bought that thing, then I'd be money down". Plus I may not really require/need that thing and so cannot convince myself that I'd really buy that. I can't seem to get those thoughts out of my head, and to me it feels as though it gets in the way of the process working.

So I have developed a new process. My gf and I were out on the town this past weekend. We went for pizza at a well known pizza place just outside of town. The place was full of kids and the pizza wasn't the best (though it was 'ok'). We both wished we'd gone somewhere more classy as my gf especially looked lovely. When I looked at the prices of the drinks I said to myself (actually out loud, lol) "wow £4.50 for a bottle of beer, how can they charge so much, in this place!". Safe to say we only had one drink, ate our pizza and off we went into town. As we approached town we noticed a posh hotel and remembered that they have a bar/lounge and that it's really classy. As we were both dressed up, we decided to head there. The bar bill for a couple of drinks was over £10! I felt shocked as this is far more than I'm used to paying. However once we sat down and enjoyed the very classy surroundings, I felt much better and said: "well it's worth the money to sit in here in these luxurious surroundings rather than paying nearly as much in that pizza place which was a bit dirty and had plastic seats, not leather couches like here".

It was while sat in these luxurious surroundings that I got an insight. Although the classy bar was expensive, I was able to accept the prices due to the location and venue, but because I didn't think the pizza was good value for money, I grumbled a lot more about spending in there. This I believe is a great insight into how we stop money from flowing, and once known, allows us to allow abundance in. The insight essentially is "forget about value".

Forget about value.

So often I'll play Abraham's money game, but be thinking about value. The local mega stores in town have relatively low prices and there are some bargain stores that are really good 'value'. However often I'm unable to make it to those places and instead use the 'overpriced' local stores which often have the exact same products but at double or treble the price I know I can get them for elsewhere. I usually go in there to find bargains/offers or the few things they do sell at 'reasonable' prices.

I realise now that I do not play Abraham's money game in those stores because I think to myself "I wouldn't really buy that because it's overpriced and not good value for money". This gets in the way of the money game because I believe for the Abraham money game to work, one has to truly believe that you would buy that item at that price. I think that the Abraham money game doesn't work for others and myself because we don't really think that we would buy that item at that price, therefore we are not sincere when we say "I could buy that if I wanted to". What we are really saying is: "I've got the money in my pocket to buy that, but I aint stupid with money so I'd never pay that price for that thing". This attitude does not allow in more money.

More on why Abraham's money game may not work.

Reading the previous paragraph, you may say that to get Abraham's money game to work, we need to focus on things that are of good value. Sure, for instance the local stores sell milk for a very 'reasonable' price. I guess it's there way of getting you in there, they sell the 'every day' items for cheap and then sting you with the rest. Ok so I'm happy to spend £1 on four pints of milk, because that to me is about the cheapest price I've seen in any store, therefore I deem it 'good value'. However I don't really use that much milk, four pints usually lasts me a week! Therefore I could not say sincerely that "I could buy 40 pints of milk if I wanted to now", because what on earth would I do with all that milk! I'd feel silly at the counter buying all that milk and it would be hard to store it once I got home with it all.


My take on the money game

To counteract these problems and to not care about the 'value' of things, here's how I do the money game. I walk into my local stores and see many different items (mostly 'overpriced' compared to the mega stores) that I would love to eat and use. The convenience of buying these items locally is greatly appealing over traveling out to the mega stores. Instead of needing to carry around £100 to affirm that "I could afford that if I wanted to", instead I see anything I want and say "if my millions were physical now, I would buy that because I wouldn't care if I could buy it cheaper elsewhere".

You may well read that and think it's not the most positive stance. You may say that I am affirming that I haven't yet got millions. However I feel that I am vibrationally in my vortex a lot of the time, and therefore I feel that on a vibrational level I am in alignment with those millions. It is only when in these situations (such as the local store or buying online) where I am always seeking out 'good value', that is dissallowing what is almost bursting to come forth into physical: My millions! This is why it hurts so much when we're considering value and seeing things as 'not good value for money'. If I was in the pizza place I mentioned here and I practiced my take on the money game, my thoughts would be: "ok I don't really like this place that much but now I'm here, if my millions were physical now I would probably stay and have a couple of beers because I wouldn't care about how much it costs".

By doing this process we are bridging the gap between what is well set up non-physically, and what is so wanting to burst into physical once we find that allowing attitude. We are taking that non-physical and 'setting it up' or 'building a template', if you like, so that it can work itself into the physical realm. I fully believe and know that my take on Abraham's money game works for me and who knows it may work for you.

Happy allowing,

Thanks! :D

Every two subjects is one subject ~flex's thoughts on Abraham Hicks' teachings.

Hello,

Every subjects is two subjects, what is wanted and the lack of it. Therefore we can also say that every two subjects is really one subject. Why is this important? It is important because when one is thinking about a subject 'outside' of the Vortex, there is a tendency to try and quickly think about something that you think is inside the Vortex. There is an almost panic to try and counteract the seeming negative place you are in.

What's wrong with that? Isn't that what deliberate creation is, changing your focus?

In a way, yes, but in fact it is more to do with simply focusing, and not the need to change your focus. By frantically trying to change your mindset to inside the Vortex, you are giving credence to the thought that you are outside of the Vortex in the first place. As well being is the only thing that flows, perhaps all we need to do is focus more into that well being, to realise more that we are already a part of it.

Ok all of the above may seem a bit fiddly, so allow me to put it into a real world scenario:

You are in the Vortex, feeling fine and dandy. You think about something that is 'outside the vortex'. Maybe it is a relationship with another that you are finding difficult, or something else. Your first instinct may be to change your focus to something that is 'inside the Vortex', like a fluffy kitten if that's your thing, hehe. However hang on a minute! Why did you have to change your focus at all? You were already in the Vortex weren't you. Yes but I focused on something that was 'outside the vortex' so I had to get back in! I hear you cry.

Remember though, every subject is two subjects, and therefore every two subjects is really one subject. This means that the subject of 'a difficult relationship with a particular person' is also the same subject as 'I get on really well with that person'.

Ok, so when I think about that person I have difficulty dealing with, that's not an 'out of the Vortex' thought?
No, because you are in the Vortex to begin with. Well can't that thought eventually take me out of the Vortex if I dwell on it? Yes it can (to a degree), however if you are mainly in the Vortex (and as well being is the only thing that flows, I don't see why you wouldn't be!) then why would you think that the 'out of the vortex' part of the subject would have so much power over you.

What I'm trying to get at is that we need to start thinking about any subjects when we're 'inside the Vortex' and to know that it doesn't matter how we currently perceive those subjects (as possibly 'outside the vortex'), but instead know that we spend the vast majority of our time 'inside the Vortex' (well being is the only thing that flows) and so that hugely great influence can easily transform any subject to only be perceived from it's 'inside the Vortex' perspective.

One can only be 'bold' lol enough to look at any subject when one has this understanding.

The world isn't 'good or bad'. The world doesn't need changing. It is all good. The 'inside the Vortex' perspective of a subject is simply our personal preference, and without the 'outside the Vortex' perspective, how would we ever know what we wanted. This is why, despite knowing that well being is the only thing that flows, it is also vitally important to acknowledge and appreciate everything that is 'outside the Vortex', not simply because it let's us know what we do want, but because it is equally the essence of what we do want, and we never hesitate to appreciate what we prefer, do we ;)

It is all one subject.

Thanks! :D
