Stop Fixing And Start Savoring

As you are reaching, in a determined way, for the Path of Least Resistance, anything that is resistant within you will certainly pop up within 20 days. And as you are deliberately reaching for the Path of Least Resistance and finding it, then you will have shifted your vibration on every subject that is important to you, and you will become resistant free.

You just have to want to feel good more than anything else. That's the only criteria that is necessary in order for you to achieve this. You have to really want to feel good. You have to want to feel good so much that you're wanting to reach for a better feeling thought any time you are in the midst of one that doesn't feel so good.

Nothing is more important than that I feel good. That's the mindset that you have to be at. Nothing is more important than that I feel good.

And that doesn't mean getting rid of things that don't feel good, because you can't. In other words, you can't make people go away. You can't make people stop thinking about you. You can't rid the world of terrorists. You can't rid the world of disease. You can't get rid of the things that you feel need to be gone.

You've got to decide, "I'm going to find a Path of Least Resistance relative to this. I'm going to find a way of either thinking about this in a way that feels good, or I'm going to find a way of not thinking about this. But this is no longer going to be an issue that keeps me from allowing the Well-being that would be there if I were not doing this. Nothing is that important."

Your "starting point", is being determined that you're going to feel good, no matter what, and then sifting through your life for things that do feel good. So we say, sift through your life for things that feel good.

And you say, "Well, I think I'll start with this issue." And we say, reach into your life for things that feel good. And your human tendency right away is, "Oh, well, then I'll deal with the issues."

And we say you don't have to deal with the issue; don't activate the issue. Start looking for things that feel good. Start with something easy. Turn your attention toward things that feel good. And you say, "Well, that's easier under some conditions than others. What if I find myself in a situation where I'm looking right at something that makes me feel bad, and I can't get away from it, no matter how hard I try, it's so in my face?"

And we say, there's where your real work begins. That's where you say, "I'm going to take some baby steps. I might not be able to get myself completely away from this resistance, but I sure can pick a path of less resistance."

And so, you just start. Just try to find something that feels better. Try to change the subject if you can, (That's the fastest, easiest way.) but if it keeps coming up, then you may want to find the Path of Least Resistance. And you get so good at it.

You get so good at it that after you've got a few things conquered, so to speak, or deactivated, then you can just say "Oh, well, I can do to you just what I did to those other things. I just don't have to think about you any more. You're a non-issue to me."

The thing that we most want you to focus upon is, we don't want you to see this big bag of issues that you're trying to diffuse. We want you, instead, to see this moment that I want to feel good--and now, this moment that I want to feel good. Sometimes we think that you think that you've got all of this work that needs to be done, and you're hoping that you'll get your work done before you die. And the work, to many of you, feels like all of these issues that you have to overcome or understand, or conquer. And so, it's like, you're tenaciously out there just digging up stuff so that you can fix it. And we're wanting you to understand that the way you're wanting to spend this moment is by tending to your vibrational hose, by opening the flow, by opening your valve.

The best use of this moment is by finding something to use as your reason to allow the Energy to flow.

We've been teasing you. We say, sometimes we think that it would be better for you if, instead of emotions, you had this creeping fungus that was taking over your body. And then you would have more of a motivation to slow the fungus. Where, you tend to tolerate negative emotions because you cannot see the negative result of them so quickly. And so, you just have to decide how important it is for you to feel good. Sometimes it's not all that important for you to feel good because you've gotten along pretty well, so far, with some reasonable resistance within your experience. It usually isn't until the resistance gets pretty big that any of you make a very strong effort to get rid of it.

That's why we love terminally ill cases. because once you've reached the place where the doctors have said, "We can do nothing more for you," that's usually at the first point that you begin to pay attention to what you're thinking. In other words, "Oh, you mean there's nothing else you can chop off of me, or there's no more pill you can give me, or there's no other possible method? You mean I'm going to have to align my Energy? Well, all right then."

Within this 20 days, that we spoke of, you have to already have come to this place where you want to align your Energies, not because you're trying to fix something that is broken, but because you genuinely, with all of your heart, want so much to be connected to Source that you are not willing to tolerate, for very long, thoughts that keep you from it.

Someone said, "I have 27 questions." And we said, we have one answer: You like knowing that you are the creator of your experience. You like knowing that everyone else is too. You like knowing that Source supports you in everything that you desire, and that there is nothing that you can identify, whether you articulate it or not, that the Universe withholds from you. All things are given in the moment that you ask.

When you are specific about what you want, and you find that Path of Least Resistance, and Energy flows through you toward your inspired idea--that is life at its very best.

We know you can't always be there. We know that sometimes you want things so clearly, and you are so aware of where you are, that you cannot focus upon what you want without activating where you are. And so, we understand that it's easy for your vibration to become muddled. We also know that you can feel your way out of the muddle.

If you want more than you believe you can achieve, you're out of balance. And if where you are standing is less than what you want, you're out of balance. And so, you, individually, have to find your balance. We are just here to tell you, as we have watched all of you, endlessly, generation after generation, that the achievement of these properties, or of these houses, or of these events, does not hold the answer that you're really looking for. It is an elusive dream. They are there in order to inspire the focus. And it is the focus of clarity that feels good in life experience.

That's why, as you look at the joy factor of those on the planet, it is as likely to find a joyful child, who has very limited ideas of desire, who is, in this moment, not in contradiction to the desires he does hold, it is more likely to find him in outrageous joy than it is to find someone who has lived enough life experience to have achieved a very great desire, and has not found a way to be in alignment with it, in joy.

We want to find different ways of helping you understand that life is about the joy factor. And the joy factor is about the alignment factor. And the alignment factor is about the choice of thoughts factor.

If there is anything that we want you to take away from this, it is the sentiment that you never get it done. We want you to start easing up on yourself, and realizing that you're not ever going to get it done. There's always going to be something else that you desire that is summoning life through you. Accept that and use that knowledge as your reason for slowing up a little bit and smelling the roses a little more, and savoring a little more, and complimenting a little more, and appreciating yourself and others a little more. In other words, just be more of a basker than you are anything else.

Sometimes going slower is the best choice in the moment; sometimes going faster is the best choice. In other words, there's no perfection in going fast; and there's no wrongdoing in going slow.

Jerry and Esther picked up their new monster bus; it is another Eagle. It is two feet longer and has more bells and whistles, more things to enjoy. And Esther had this picture of what she wanted. And as they were receiving it, there were some things not quite in alignment with that. And so, she could feel that she was out of alignment. And Esther had a sort of mindset that "we're only going to be in this area for a short period of time, and this is the place where the experts really are. So if there's anything that needs to be tweaked into perfection, we'd better get it done while we're here." And so, she got herself in a sort of fixing it mode. In other words, she was sort of scouring the thing from top to bottom wanting to make sure that if there were anything wrong, she had it on her list so that they could tend to it.

Finally, after several days of that, Jerry said to Esther, "I think it's time that we stop fixing and start savoring." Because it began to appear to him that as fast as she was fixing, more things were turning up. And he began to have this vision of this endless loop where the fixers would fix one thing and then break another thing.

And so, he said Let's stop fixing and start savoring. And we said, that is the best mantra for life that we have ever, ever heard: Let's stop fixing--because nothing is broken--and let's start savoring, because that's the way you tend to your valve--and live happily ever after.

And so, there are two ways of going about this. She can do her best to make it what she needs it to be in order to get into alignment, or she can relax and choose alignment anyway.

When you find something that does not please you and you focus upon it, it can't be fixed because you are out of sync with the fixers. So, perfectly capable, talented people cannot do simple things. But in the moment that the savoring begins, the alignment falls into place.

Endless things happen when you are savoring. As you are always reaching for an improvement on what-is, there is an inherent dissatisfaction that won't allow the improvement. But when you are savoring the improvements that are already there--there is an alignment with what is more.

We're not saying don't want things. We want you to want things. We know you can't not want things. And we know that the Universe will yield endlessly to you. We just want you to savor. As you're savoring in the vision, things come into alignment.

"Let's stop fixing and start savoring." The way you fix is through the savor. We don't know of any way to fix your life, or align yourself, or allow your Source, or to achieve what you want--we don't know of any way to do it other than savoring your way there.

Your Path of Least Resistance leads to all the good that you desire. So as you make a determination that you're going to be a big time savorer; a big time complimenter, and a hardly ever criticizer; a big time appreciator and a hardly ever noticer of something wrong; and a big time lover, and a hardly ever hater; and a big time reacher for thoughts that feel good--as you are reaching for these thoughts that feel best, you are automatically finding your Path of Least Resistance. And when you find your Path of Least Resistance, you are connected to your source of clarity and abundance and physical stamina, and Well-being.

All things that you consider to be good, all things that you desire, come to you through this Connection of Source that is known to you by the joy that you are finding in this moment.

So when we say, Nothing is more important than that I feel good, speaking from your vantage point, we really want you to internalize that sentiment: nothing is more important than that you feel good, because when you feel good, you are hooked up to that which is good--and allowing continuous manifestations of same.

There is so much love here for you. We are complete.
