QUESTION: Would you explain to me the meaning of the concept of the transcendent God, and
Divine Intervention? (reads written question)
ABRAHAM: It is a little bit along the lines of the last question, that if you are truly the creator of
your experience and that if you get that which you are setting forth thought about — then how is it that miracles happen, that suddenly something happens or something that is obviously going to happen is interrupted, and the miracle occurs? And we say, it is the greater intentions that you have set forth, saving you from the lack of intentions in this moment.
For example, you are getting in your automobile and you are moving off and the only thing that you are thinking about is that you are wanting to be on time. You are leaving later than you should be leaving, and this is very important, and so you just go, and you have one intention and that is to drive as fast as you can to get where you are going. And you don't stop to think in terms of safety or anything like that. And so, as a result of these intentions of just getting there, not thinking in terms of the greater good, which is arriving safely and refreshed, you become swept up in the influence of another who is in the middle of having an automobile accident. Even though your intent, in the moment, doesn't seem like it should be powerful enough to save you, your greater intentions have been established for such a long period of time that miraculous things happen. We like to say that the "fairies of the Universe" arrange circumstances and events to save your neck. All of it coming because of the combinations of intentions that you hold.
You see, when we start talking about "Divine Intervention," then those who really want to live, but are dying of cancer, wonder why the Divine is not intervening on their behalf. "What did I do wrong? Why is the miracle not coming to me? I have said my prayers every day of my life... How good does one have to get?"
We say, there is not really stick a thing as Divine Intervention, in the way that most think of it. It is the way many justify the experiences that they get because they can't understand what happened,
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU, EVERYTHING, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, IS BY VIRTUE OF THE COMBINATION OF INTENTIONS AND BELIEFS THAT YOU HOLD.
If you have been fostered by parents who did not see themselves as worthy and who, as you were born, did not see you as worthy, and who talked to you, every day, about how bad things happen to you, because you were not born in the family of worthiness, and how all the good things happen to others, but that you have to be part of that society, or that whatever, in order to have the good things...And so, all of these years, you believed. You really come to believe as they tell you.... And as you see it in their experience because they attract what they talk about, you say, "Yes, it is that way. We are of the unchosen few. Not good things come to us..." Then we say that you are probably one that will attract not-good things coming to you, because that is where your predominant thought is. Whereas, someone else — who has been encouraged to believe that they can be or do or have whatever they are wanting — they attract all the good things, because they are not getting in the way of it.
Non-physical current flows to all of you, equally. And your thinking mechanism is the way that you contour it, or focus it or funnel it, into your physical manifestation. And so, as you say, "I want that, and I am worthy of it, or I am capable of it, or I am able," or whatever, so that all of your thought is going in one direction, then there is nothing that is stopping you from getting this. But if you say, "I am wanting it, but I should not, or I cannot," then you are countering and keeping it from coming unto you. Nothing else! We are wanting to SHOUT as we speak those words to you because there are
so many who...when things aren't going right, want to give the credit, or the blame, to somebody else. And we say that as long as you are giving the credit or the blame to somebody else, you remain powerless — because you can not control what they do. And the more you try, the more you find that out. The more you try to control what they do, the more you realize that it is hopeless, because there is always another one who is stubborn about what they do.
And so, your freedom comes when you finally recognize, "It is me and only me. I need not let them influence me toward my lack. As they look at me and I see them seeing lack in me, I can change the thought, or, if need be, if it is so powerful, I can remove myself from this one who causes me to continually focus upon lack. And as I do, I am free. Free to have what I am wanting."
We are talking upon a very advanced level of creation. You are aware? For you to understand that your thoughts, the combination of your thoughts — is what equals what you get, sometimes it empowers you and sometimes it frightens you, because sometimes you're surer than others about what you want. And in your uncertainty, what is happening?
Have you ever felt?....You have. Let us remind you: There is a decision for you to make. And you haven't made it yet. You are still exploring the options. You might even have narrowed it down to one or two things. Do you feel how enervated you feel? How tired, even depressed? How you wake up in the morning, and you really don't want to get out of bed? The reason for that is because your Energy is diffused. You don't know what you want, and so this powerful, or potentially powerful, Energy is coming into you — but you are sending it off in so many directions, you feel tired. And do you remember how, whenever you made a decision about something, how good you felt? ONCE YOU MAKE A DECISION, NO MATTER HOW MINOR THE DECISION IS, YOU ARE SUDDENLY EMPOWERED AGAIN - because, suddenly, you are saying "yes" to something. You're not saying, "yes, no, yes, no, maybe." You're saying, "Yes," and so the Energy flows. That is "Divine Intervention." When you get all of your thoughts going in one direction, then we say "Let it go!" And "everyone" gets behind and offers to you, and that is why you feel this great power of momentum, you see. All of the "fairies of the Universe" get behind you when you're decided. And otherwise, it is sort of, nobody paying much attention to you. There is not much point in sending it off in a thousand directions, is there? You are getting the point?
