Abraham on Resistance

"Because others cannot vibrate in your experience, they cannot affect the outcome of your experience. They can hold their opinions, but unless their opinion affects your opinion, their opinion matters not at all. A million people could be pushing against you and it would not negatively affect you unless you push back. That million people pushing against you are affecting their millions of vibrations. They are affecting what happens in their experience. They are affecting their point of attraction, but it does not affect you unless you push against them."

Elias on Expectation of Others

"If you are generating expectations.... For, you are concentrating upon the other individuals and generating expectations of their behavior. What are you doing? You are expressing a threat. Expectation is received and perceived as threat; threat is opposition. If you are opposing, you shall reflect opposing. Therefore, you generate the expectation and what occurs? You receive opposition, for YOU are expressing opposition to begin with.

If you are paying attention to you and your energy and generating cooperation, not opposing, you shall also reflect cooperation - not compromise, not acquiescing, but cooperating, and cooperation does not require agreement."

- Elias, from Session #1860 (As channeled through Mary Ennis)

Philip on Validation

"Most of you here will not let go of anything that validates you. It's a big problem with relationships--the death grip."

SAbe on Seratonin

"When the seratonin levels are high, the body is self-contained. When the body is self-contained, it doesn't seek for validation. When it doesn't seek validation, it won't go trying to find circuitry in other places than within itself. When the seratonin levels are inappropriate, the owner of the body in which they are inappropriately low will begin to try and find another source to increase the seratonin levels. Seratonin can be increased from external to the body because, since it is a neurotransmitter, it doesn't have to be contained within the body. From a standpoint of circuitry, let's say that your body has a low level of seratonin. Whenever your levels of seratonin are low, you're going to feel lack of self-worth, you're going to have self-doubt, lack of confidence, lack of success; you're going to be seeking validation. When they are low, because of the way they work with the electrical connections in the body, you will technically go out and try to find another human body that has reserves of seratonin. You actually start electrically connecting off of their seratonin levels to make yourself feel better."

- SAbe (as articulated through Sheradon Bryce)

Philip on Sexuality

"Your sexuality is your relationship to your body. It is the force you do everything with. The next time you get into a big rush and you're stressed at work and you're running off of an adrenaline rush because you're stressed in meeting a time schedule, take five seconds—be honest and check it out—and you'll find that underlying drive can also be called sexual, if you want to call it that, every time. The only thing is, the brain has learned to called it something different."

"That energy can move into a drive and a passion for life when the fantasies are released and you understand it. You don't have to call it a sex drive all of the time. But, you all have one or you'd be dead! It's the drive of the body to be alive. Therefore, anybody that teaches you that abstinence, denial of the body in any form, including your sexuality, is trying to keep you away from your body."
