Since I was a little girl, anytime anyone asked me what my three wishes would be (given me by a magic Genie after finding their bottle) my first wish was always the same, to be instantly thin.  To have her blink her eyes, or a nod of his head and for me to instantly be a thin, shapely version of myself.  My second and third wishes have changed many times depending on what was happening in my life, but that first wish has always consistently been the one around which I felt most powerless.

This morning when I asked myself the three wishes question I was delightfully surprised to discover my lifetime answer has changed, because my feelings of powerlessness have changed.  In the past the idea of going from where I was to where I wanted to be always felt to me like a massive undertaking I wasn't prepared for or capable of accomplishing.  So naturally if presented with the notion of magically going from one place to another in the blink of an eye, I would always choose the blink.

This morning I realized that following my inner spirit and allowing my body to guide me to it's perfection has become my own wonderful spiritual pilgrimage.  A very personal voyage to spiritual enlightenment which I've been guided toward my whole life.  A journey that holds secrets, treasures, expansion and growth beyond my present ability to comprehend. 

Why would I want to blink to the end of that reality?  Why would I want to miss a moment of that experience no matter how joyous the outcome?

I mean as an Aber I know the outcome is inevitable.  It has to happen because I can feel my vibration changing . . . rising . . . and therefore attracting it to me.  Ask, Allow And It Is Given!

As an Aber I also know that the distance between where I am and where I want to go holds keys, secrets, joys and blessings that will touch every other aspect of my life.  So why would I want to leapfrog over all of that just to "quickly" be thin for the first time in my adult life?

Would I want to get up tomorrow thin?  If I did, what would I write about in this blog?  How to find the Genie?  What to wear when you wake up thin and all your clothes aren't . . . ?  How to keep it off once the Genie leaves? 

No, I would I rather get up tomorrow exactly where I am, and exhilarated by a new day's potential for amazing events, interesting people and new awarenesses on MY journey.  Delighted by more incredible opportunities for expansion as I write for my blog and open my heart to inspiration from my inner spirit.

In fact I wouldn't want the other two wishes either, not from a Genie.  It wouldn't feel like "my creation" to me, and I've come to believe that for anything to truly feel valuable to me . . . I've got to be able to feel my creative power within it.  To be able to see and feel how "I created that in my life!"

So no thank you Genie.  I appreciate it, but give your three wishes to someone who needs them.  I'm busy creating my life exactly as I want it to be.

Exhilaration and love,
Tigerlily

Abraham:  If you were embarking on a two-week vacation and you know, "I'm going to be in this city and in this city and in this city and in this city, and then we're going to come home and we'll be so rested."  And then you say, "The final destination is home.  So, let's just cut out all this trouble in between and just not go.  We've reached our final destination.  We've succeeded.  We've arrived at the place we started out to go."  And we say, you sure did.

Most humans approach life thinking they're on their way some place, and if they could just get there without going, then everything would be perfect.  And we say, what about the reason for life?  What about the reason for bumping into people?  What about the reason of feeling the fluctuation in their vibration?  What about the reason for feeling something wrong and identifying what feels right to you and correcting it within your vibration and watching the Universe amplify it?  What about the expansion of thought?  What about the joy of life?  What about the thrill of going beyond where I've been before?

Human perspective says, "Here I am in an incomplete place and I would like to get over there, and I would do it with magic or I would do it with trickery or I would do it with a metaphysical guru . . .  I would do anything that it takes to get over there. That's what I want." And we say, no that isn't what you want. What you want is the excuse to get to go from here to over there.  It's the day-to-day unfolding.  It's the meaning of interaction.  It's the stimulation of thought.  It's the new ideas that flow to you.  It's the thrill of formulating a decision and knowing you're nowhere near vibrational harmony with the decision.  And then it's the thrill of getting a little closer to it and feeling the relief of it clicking into place -- and then the thrill of feeling the expanded thought bringing expanded information and different people and different understanding.  And then it's the thrill of chewing on that and coming to a greater conclusion.  And then its the thrill of knowing I'm still not quite in vibrational harmony with the new expanded vision.  It is so satisfying to mold Energy -- more than molding clay, more than painting on a board, more than writing words in a book.

There is nothing in all of the Universe more delicious than to be physically focused with this dramatic contrast that abounds and feeling the clarity of your thought and the culminating of your decision and the alignment of your Energy with the decision and then feeling the forces of the Universe -- the Energy that creates worlds -- flowing with you for the promotion of that idea. That's the reason you exist.

This physical environment is your playground of expansion, and without it the Universe could not expand in the way that it does.  Do not for a moment believe that the Nonphysical you's, the Nonphysical Inner Beings and the Nonphysical gods are sitting back with some clear picture of how it's all going to be, just waiting for you all to catch up with it.  You are extensions of that Energy, but you are the specifics of that Energy, while we are the generalities of that Energy -- and the specifics are necessary for the motion forward.  Excerpted from an Abraham-Hicks workshop in Napa, CA on February 27, 1997  (Abraham-Hicks.com)
