Guest: As I'm aging, I just notice my body is not as resilient as it was when I was 20 and...

Abe: Why not? That's odd.

Guest: Yeah, I guess that's my question. Does there have to be a natural aging process?

Abe: Aging, yes, because you're moving through time. Declining, no - that's a mental state.

Guest: Yeah.

Abe: But what happens is, because most everybody you know is looking at manifestations RATHER THAN LOOKING AT ENERGY AND COMING TO CONCLUSIONS BASED ON ENERGY.

 

In other words, if you could see a declining person and you could understand the conflicts that have been going on in them all of their life, then you would understand the decline of their body. And then you would be able to make the association.

And you would not necessarily attach the same thing to yourself.

But because you make no association between WHAT THEY'RE THINKING and FEELING and WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THEM, then you assume this is just what happens.

And we want to say to you, this is not just what happens. This is just what happens when people BELIEVE that there is decline with age.

Guest: Mmm-hmm. Like, a specific example, I used to run a lot and now when I run, my left hip hurts. And I would like to be able to run, but it's just, it's uncomfortable to run.

Abe: What you are saying to us is you think that your left hip began to hurt and then you noticed it. And HAD A VIBRATIONAL RESPONSE to it.

And what we're saying to you is, you had a vibrational response TO THE SOCIETY THAT BELIEVES IN DECLINE.

And therefore are living the self-fulfilled prophecy of what you expected.

Guest: Right.

Abe: And so the question that really is before us is: "How can I expect differently than everybody else?"

And we say, try to think more singularly. And try not to base your conclusions on the manifestations that you're watching.

Instead, base your conclusions on the ENERGY THAT YOU ARE WATCHING.

"The fact of it is that this many people get such and such." And we say, "Well, what does that have to do with you?"

And they say, "Well, 1 in 5 has it and I might be the one." And we say, but why are you letting the way somebody else flowed energy - which created what they are living.

Why are you now using that as the club to beat yourself over the head with?

..And we say, we know there's reasoning in there somewhere, but it feels quite unreasonable to us. And that's why we're playing with you a little bit when we say... "Why?"...when you talk about decline.

.....In other words, you have issues you've picked up along your physical trail. You're taking life rather seriously, you see. We like it when you take life seriously because it's a wonderful thing to FOCUS.

But we would also like you to lighten up a little bit and relax. And have more fun in more moments. And realize that all is well.

Because that is the only thing that is taking the toll on your body.
