<p>Just yesterday a friend said to me something like, &#034;Do you even <em>listen</em> to Abraham?&#034;  I was going on about some out-of-the-vortex subject and I got caught!  And yes, I <em>have</em> been listening to Abraham.  In fact, I&#039;ve been listening for so long that since I first met Abraham my hair has had a chance to go from almost black to almost white and back again (a modern miracle!) In this video, Abraham brings forward a most important distinction between the aging that occurs by simply moving through time vs. the decline we think is inevitable. Happy aging!</p>

<p>I&#039;m grateful to see the subtle coexistence of Abraham&#039;s absolute clarity and Esther&#039;s more familiar human experience. In this beautiful video, Abraham answers questions about Jerry and his transition into non-physical.  They also explain some of Esther&#039;s process after losing the physical form of her life partner.  Amazingly enough, if you knew Jerry, and loved his presence, and appreciated his enormous contribution to the Abraham-Hicks evolution, you are more likely to laugh at times during this light-hearted presentation of death, than to cry as Abraham explains what&#039;s going on here. I send my love and appreciation to Jerry and to Esther and to Abraham.  I hope you enjoy this.</p>

<p>[mc src="http://podcast-qt.s3.amazonaws.com/yofa-vortex-gateway-2009-11-13.mp3"/]
<p>I want to begin today&#039;s focus with what I always thought was a nursery rhyme.&#160; It turns out it&#039;s a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.&#160; Apparently he wrote this with his baby in his arms.&#160; </p>
<p>You probably know it:</p>
<p><i>There was a little girl,<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160; Who had a little curl,<br />
Right in the middle of her forehead.<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160; When she was good,<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160; She was very good indeed,<br />
But when she was bad she was horrid.</i></p>
<p>&#160;&#160;&#160; &#8212; Henry Wadsworth Longfellow</p>
<p>This poem comes to my mind right now as I think about myself (minus the curl).</p>
<p>You see, sometimes I access mystical states of awareness.&#160; Sometimes I extract wisdom from the living of my life in a way that is thrilling to me.&#160; And I receive feedback (for which I am very grateful) that my insights are helpful to others.&#160; Sometimes I am &#34;very good indeed.&#34; And when I am in those states I love pouring those realizations into writing or recordings or some form of expression so that I can have an imprint of that moment or that awareness.&#160; And, as you might guess, I do my best to let that be the side of me that acts as my public persona.</p>
<p>Well, then there&#039;s the part of me that my friends and family know.&#160; This is the part that can get hooked into focusing on what is not wanted in a way that is not fun to be around.&#160; And while these moments are difficult, they do provide sharp contrast that sooner or later turns into an article or a website or something useful in the <a href="http://yofa.net">YOFA</a> system.</p>
<p>Well, the reason I&#039;m telling you all this is because I was just in one of these states. In fact it started yesterday. I went to sleep with something unwanted on my mind, woke up with it, and had been obsessing and getting myself more and more upset about it all day, and it&#039;s really a relatively unimportant event in the greater scheme of things.</p>
<p>Finally it occurred to me to use the <a href="http://happyinthevortex.com/">YOFA Gateway into the Vortex</a> which is a website I had created for my own personal use for moments just like this.&#160; It&#039;s got two main tools for getting me back in the Vortex &#8211; the Simple Gateway and the Profound Gateway.&#160; I decided this was a job for the Profound Gateway because I was pretty steeped in seeing the worst possible aspects of this situation.&#160; In fact I was so convinced of how justified I was to be disappointed and bummed out about this particular subject that when I opened the Profound Gateway webpage and began doing the process, I found myself unable to answer the questions in a useful way.</p>
<p>Now mind you, I am the one who created this gateway tool.&#160; Well, it&#039;s a matter of semantics.&#160; It was the me who is very very good who created it.&#160; Now it was the me who is horrid who was trying to use it!</p>
<p>So here is what I did. I clicked on the video tutorial and I went question-by-question, listening to what the in-the-Vortex version of me had to say about how to answer each of the questions.&#160; So there we were.&#160; The in-the-Vortex version of me offering a&#160; hand to the out-of the-Vortex version of me.&#160; And by going question by question, with the video in one tab of my browser and the profound gateway in another tab, I moved through the&#160; process and came out so transformed that I felt inspired to express it here.&#160; Because now, suddenly I am the in-the-Vortex version of me.&#160; And when that happens, this is what I do.&#160; I write, or I somehow share how I got here.&#160; </p>

[mc src=&quot;http://podcast-qt.s3.amazonaws.com/yofa-vortex-gateway-2009-11-13.mp3&quot;/]I want to begin today&#039;s focus with what I always thought was a nursery rhyme.  It turns out it&#039;s a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.  Apparently he wrote this with his baby in his arms.  

You probably know it:

There was a little girl,
    Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
    When she was good,
    She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

    -- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

This poem comes to my mind right now as I think about myself (minus the curl).

You see, sometimes I access mystical states of awareness.  Sometimes I extract wisdom from the living of my life in a way that is thrilling to me.  And I receive feedback (for which I am very grateful) that my insights are helpful to others.  Sometimes I am &quot;very good indeed.&quot; And when I am in those states I love pouring those realizations into writing or recordings or some form of expression so that I can have an imprint of that moment or that awareness.  And, as you might guess, I do my best to let that be the side of me that acts as my public persona.

Well, then there&#039;s the part of me that my friends and family know.  This is the part that can get hooked into focusing on what is not wanted in a way that is not fun to be around.  And while these moments are difficult, they do provide sharp contrast that sooner or later turns into an article or a website or something useful in the YOFA system.

Well, the reason I&#039;m telling you all this is because I was just in one of these states. In fact it started yesterday. I went to sleep with something unwanted on my mind, woke up with it, and had been obsessing and getting myself more and more upset about it all day, and it&#039;s really a relatively unimportant event in the greater scheme of things.

Finally it occurred to me to use the YOFA Gateway into the Vortex which is a website I had created for my own personal use for moments just like this.  It&#039;s got two main tools for getting me back in the Vortex - the Simple Gateway and the Profound Gateway.  I decided this was a job for the Profound Gateway because I was pretty steeped in seeing the worst possible aspects of this situation.  In fact I was so convinced of how justified I was to be disappointed and bummed out about this particular subject that when I opened the Profound Gateway webpage and began doing the process, I found myself unable to answer the questions in a useful way.

Now mind you, I am the one who created this gateway tool.  Well, it&#039;s a matter of semantics.  It was the me who is very very good who created it.  Now it was the me who is horrid who was trying to use it!

So here is what I did. I clicked on the video tutorial and I went question-by-question, listening to what the in-the-Vortex version of me had to say about how to answer each of the questions.  So there we were.  The in-the-Vortex version of me offering a  hand to the out-of the-Vortex version of me.  And by going question by question, with the video in one tab of my browser and the profound gateway in another tab, I moved through the  process and came out so transformed that I felt inspired to express it here.  Because now, suddenly I am the in-the-Vortex version of me.  And when that happens, this is what I do.  I write, or I somehow share how I got here.  

In fact, I can pretty much guarantee that if I did not have a way of getting myself so far out of the vortex and then so consistently finding my way back in, there would be no YOFA!  

So here are the points that I want to make today.

    If you are using the YOFA Gateway into Vortex (simple or profound), which is the tools set at http://HappyintheVortex.com , and you are having trouble finding your way into the contemplation,</itunes:summary>

 [mc src=&quot;http://podcast-qt.s3.amazonaws.com/yofa-vortex-11-11-09.mp3&quot;/]
Abraham (www.abraham-hicks.com) has been teaching us one exquisitely simple lesson for many years now. In fact, the word &quot;simple&quot; is a very accurate word for the teaching because one of the meanings of the word &quot;simple&quot; is &quot;single.&quot;

Abraham teaches us that there is a single flow of well being.  One stream.

Now here is the part where the whole living of your life unfolds.

At any given moment, you are either allowing that stream or resisting it.

Can it be any simpler than that?

Abraham has been giving us process after process to help us do the only thing that we need to do in order to live a joyful, satisfying life. And since there are only two ways that we basically interact with the stream of well being (which is that we can allow it or resist it), there are two ways to express our job in life.  We can say that all we need to do in any situation is to allow the stream.  The other way to phrase it is to say that all we need to do is to release our resistance to the stream of well being.

So, when Abraham talks about the Vortex, and how to get into the Vortex, we can understand that this is the same as being in the allowing mode. 

Simple.

Elegant.

You can apply this to anything that is going on in your life.

From relationships, to body conditions, to politics, to grandma&#039;s cookie recipe, you can always tell whether you are allowing or resistant by the way you feel.

And so, what happens after a while is that you realize that it is your state that matters much more than the subject of your focus.  

So let&#039;s say you look at a political situation that angers you.  You feel like people are abusing their power and you don&#039;t like the decisions they are making.  The tendency is to get more deeply involved in the subject matter. 

Now, I think you can see that taking action from a place of negative emotion is all out-of-the-vortex-action and it is very inefficient.

It becomes clear that your primary work is to get in the Vortex and then let your action be inspired by the joy you experience when you think of what is wanted rather than the anger you feel when you think of what is not wanted.

And when you take action from within the Vortex, you are powerful, effective, and beneficial to everyone who is touched by your plans.

So here&#039;s what I&#039;d like you to do:

    Start noticing which subjects in your life seem more important to you than being in the Vortex. 
    Start getting into the Vortex on those subjects. 
    Notice how rapidly your life transforms.


How do you get in the Vortex?  That is not the subject of this particular post, but you&#039;ll find the answers in the book The Vortex and you can accelerate the process with the tools at http://HappyintheVortex.com
With Love and Appreciation,
