But immediately after their despite, which proceeded from fearlessness and secure luxury, a certain just punishment met them, as following from a certain arranged harmony, removing from them good things as having hurt them, and introducing evil things instead, as advantageous.”Īccording to the Essenes as people were no longer appreciative of the perfect world they were in, their lack of appreciating turned to feelings of lack and they attracted more things to lack. “But they, because they had at first no experience of evils, being insensible to the gift of good things, were turned to ingratitude by abundance of food and luxuries, so that they even thought that there is no Providence, since they had not by previous labour got good things as the reward of righteousness, inasmuch as no one of them had fallen into any suffering or disease, or any other necessity so that, as is usual for men afflicted on account of wicked transgression, they should look about for the God who is able to heal them. Even in the bible, Eve and Adam eat the “forbidden fruit” which means their sin started when they thought that there was something that they could not have (a feeling of lack).
The Essenes also spoke about the fall of mankind. As you feel as if you lack, you find more things to make you feel as if you lack. And when you walk the walk enough times, that faith is no longer considered a “blind faith” but just knowledge and understanding of how the world works.Ībraham says the most important thing is to feel appreciation because as you appreciate, you see more to appreciate. I don’t have a theoretical understanding I have an experiential understanding. I know it can be scary to make leaps of faith. I don’t just talk about this stuff, I live it every single day. Now that I understand the way the law of attraction works I’ve faced a lot of fears and things always work out. I always had a lot of faith that there was a creator of all who was loving, but I was taught a lot of things to fear growing up. What Abraham talks about does align with what Christ and the early followers, the Essenes, believed. The 5 Steps of Creation are listed here and, of course, Christ also said, “Ask and you will receive seek and you will find.” He also told us not to worry about tomorrow, because just as bird gets fed naturally, so too will we be. Abraham always says that “words don’t teach, experience is what teaches.” I know that everyone can pick up on messages from source/God (in the bible they were considered prophets) and it will always be filtered through our current understandings and so I don’t take everything that Esther gives forth as “gospel” but what resonates with me is what I have experienced in my life. The Abraham teachings that Esther Hicks channels have helped me in understanding what Christ talked about on a higher level. Because of the higher perspective, Source/God (whatever you want to call this higher power) knows whyeveryone is doing what they are doing and doesn’t keep track of “wrongs.” When you know why someone did something it’s much easier to forgive and when you can see the higher (long term) benefit of something that you would normally call “bad” then you can start to find peace.
But as humans with limited perspective we get upset and decide to label things like deaths or people as “bad,” and humans have a hard time forgiving because they do not understand why someone did something. Weiss did actually go on to study psychiatry because he realized medicine couldn’t save his son.Įverything happens for a reason, and everything is working out for you on the large scale. Also he wanted to show you that medicine could only go so far, that its scope is very limited.” Dr. His soul is very advanced…his death satisfied his parents’ debts. He made a great sacrifice for you out of his love. Your son’s heart was also important, for it was backward, like a chicken’s. During one regression the patient spoke to him about his son saying, “…his death was due to his heart. His son Adam died 23 days after birth of a rare heart condition. Brian Weiss, he describes his work in past life regression. In the book Many Lives, Many Masters by psychotherapist Dr. We cannot always know or understand the higher spiritual goals that a particular soul has. When you are on a mountain top you have a higher perspective which gives you a clear view of what is in the distance. When you are lower on the ground you cannot see far off into the distance.
