Here’s an excerpt from an Abraham-Hicks workshop in Burlingame, CA on Saturday, March 11th, 2000

Guest: I’ve heard you talk an a lot about death in the last year that… [We thought we were talking about life.] The thing that I’m still not complete with, is the actual process of the transition itself. I can think about after the transition and be very comfortable with that, but if I think about drowning or falling out of an airplane or some other horrible way of dying, I don’t feel real comfortable with that.

Abraham: Do you ever have a bad dream? [Yes] And do you ever wake up right in the middle of it? [Yes] That’s what death is like in those “horrible” situations you just described. In other words, right in the middle of something that you feel would be abhorrent or intolerable, you wake up into the reality of who you really are — And it is like a distant dream that is not in your now.

Guest: So I wake up before it’s so horrible that I can’t stand it any more?

Abraham: Always, every single time, without exception. Anytime you try to superimpose how you would feel in a given situation, you are distorting. But it is our promise to you that when that time is there for you, that the transition is very quick.

The problem with most people is that they worry about death. They’re pushing very hard against it. Death is not seen by most of you as the natural thing, or as the glorious, good transitioning thing that it is. Instead, it is seen as a bad thing, something so bad that you give it to those people that you hate most. You give them the “death penalty.” Think about it. You’re not giving them the reward of death. You’re not giving them the relief of death, or the release of death. You have figured that it’s about the worst thing that could ever happen to any of you, and then you save it as punishment to wield in the worst possible way. It’s no wonder that you worry about it, because all of you know that it’s coming to you.

And so, we can understand how you would be a little confused about how you would feel about it. But we have to say to you, you live in this Universe that is always yielding good things to you, and that the transition into Nonphysical is like, in one fell swoop, leaving behind all worry and fear. But what happens is, you see it as something not wanted, and so you push against it. Most people are pushing so hard against this death thing that they are not allowing themselves to truly live. So, there are few of you that are really living in the free, good feeling, of this moment, that you could if you were releasing your fear of death.

If we were standing in your physical shoes we would begin saying, on a regular basis, “I love this physical experience. And as long as there are things that are drawing my attention, and as long as I am able to allow the Energy to flow through me, I want to run rambunctiously in this physical body. I want a long, healthy, happy physical experience. And when there are no longer things that are calling me, I will make my transition quickly.”

In this physical time/space reality, it’s pretty easy for you to utilize the contrast. You are becoming a global consciousness. You have lots of experiences, early in life experience. There is always more for you, but often you find yourself not able to find something more that you are wanting. But your Inner Being is never in that position. And in the moment that you spend time saying, “Well, I’m really not interested in that, and I’m really not interested in that,” and you are not able to muster something that is summoning life through you, your Inner Being always says, “Well, there’s plenty going on here, come on with us.” So there is a withdrawal of your consciousness from here — just like getting up and walking out of a movie that’s no longer pleasing you, or leaving a conversation that doesn’t feel good any more. But your consciousness does not miss a beat.

And so, the only question that we really want to talk about, relative to the death process, is not about the moment of death, that’s a piece of cake. What we want to talk to you about is how much you are willing to endure not being fully connected to Source Energy before you make that decision.

We would far rather that all of you walk out and get run over by a truck, in the moment that you leave this building, than that you spend long lingering years worrying about one thing and another, and pinching the Life Force off, little by little. It is much more effective to just get it over with, reemerge into Nonphysical — and then make another run at something that will summon more Energy through you.

That’s what the beasts of your planet do. They come and go very easily because they’re not worried about death. They know they’re eternal beings. They are always fully focused in life. And they come to their full maturity faster and easier in life experience, and so they come in, they become mature, they experience the deliciousness of life, they make their transition — and they come again, and again, and again and again. And you are the same.

I watched Avatar in 3D last night and it is definitely one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.

If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s worth every penny and more, so I encourage you to see it.

The story line is great, the colours are spectacular, the technology that went into it is amazing and the creativity displayed to put it all together is breath taking.

5 Stars. Also I think seeing it in 3D is fantastic as well.

The point is, you have the power to live the life you desire, when you are willing to accept responsibility for where you are now. No one has forced you to be where you are, you simply did what you believed was required based on your past conditioning. Without awareness, you have felt as though you had no power, and unconsciously you perpetuated the same circumstances.

Remember, this is not about the “time” or what you do with your time, it’s about bringing awareness to this moment that has you then create the next moment consciously. Your conscious awareness is what has life become brighter, from there your choices open up and you can begin to become the deliberate creator you were born to be.

See if you can become aware of when you say to someone that you don’t have time and notice how that feels within you.

So what happens if you do choose to take things a bit easier and some things don’t get done? It means that they’ll either get done later, someone else will do it or it won’t get done at all. It’ll all depend on the importance of it to you. And if you find that your employer doesn’t have your well being as a priority, then there are other employers that do and you may want to seek them out.

Having said all this, changing the way you operate is not so easy. You may find that you make changes like working less and learning to smell the roses but then it brings up feelings of guilt that has you feel indulgent, or that you don’t really deserve to live a life that is easier or free of struggle. If this is the case, I suggest you look at some of my previous articles that deal with how the mind works and how you can begin to reclaim your power.

Now I’m sure if you feel strongly about your commitments you’ll be wanting to defend your position and say things like, “well if I don’t put so many hours in at work, the bills won’t get paid and we’ll lose our house”, or something to that effect. If that’s the case, then quite frankly, you’re out of balance and most likely, living beyond your means. The circumstances you’re in now are simply a reflection of what you believe. The idea that you need to live in a certain neighborhood, or a certain type of house, or drive a certain type of car, or send the kids to a certain type of school all stem from preconditioned thoughts of the way you see life, it’s not set in stone, you can change this if you choose.

Now don’t get me wrong, you should live the lifestyle your heart desires, and maybe there are other ways of attracting money that doesn’t involve you devoting so much of your time. Ultimately, you deserve to live a life that is a reflection of your abundant, joyous Self, it’s just that you may not have found a way to do it so that you are in harmony with YOU.

OK, lets say you genuinely feel that you don’t have time, you work 60 hours a week and when you add travel to and from work, cooking, eating, sleeping and showering, you find that it doesn’t leave much time for anything else (and if you have children, it’s even less time for you!).

Then lets say that all of a sudden there’s a situation where you or a family member needs to go to hospital, time seems to be found! Where did the time come from? Well, the time didn’t come from anywhere, there was simply a reallocation from the time you were spending in one area, to this new area. You have a new priority and everything else gets put on the back burner until you or your family member recuperates.

This is an extreme case and it’s really just to highlight that we can allocate time for anything that is a priority to us.

We all live with, 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week, so when someone asks you to do something, do you find yourself saying, “I’d like to, but I don’t have time”?

If so, what you’re doing is stating that there are other things in your life that take priority over what’s being asked of you, it’s not that you don’t have the time. Time is one of those convenient excuses that people tend to use often to politely say they really aren’t interested in doing something.

This may sound harsh, but in truth we all have time for whatever we truly want to do, or think we need to do.

Here’s a quote that came to me today:

“Just like clouds mask the sun from shining onto the

surface of the land, so too do thoughts mask the Self

from shining out into the world.”

A book worth reading is “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz, here’s a summary of “the agreements”.

The Four Agreements – Don Miguel Ruiz

Agreement 1

Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Agreement 2

Don’t take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

Agreement 3

Don’t make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

Agreement 4

Always do your best - Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

This is the final part of this article and probably the most important thing to get from this post is that as students, we get to choose which direction we want to go in.

What this means is that life (as the teacher), doesn’t impose itself onto us, whenever we’re ready, we get what we need. The sooner we realise that we are the ones that create our reality, the sooner we get to live more joyfully.

The only reason that things may not be going as you would like them to go is because you haven’t yet opened up to new possibilities and life (as the teacher), keeps showing you difficulties so that you look for a new way.

So you see, even when things are not as we like, there are little gems to help us to change direction.

The question is, are you willing to give up that old conditioned part of you?

Much Love,

Angelo Campione
