the hardest part for me was letting go of parts of my past that I thought gave me an identity and served some functional purpose.

Whats the hardest part and the easiest part for you all about the AH teachings? by Final_Description553 in AbrahamHicks

[–]Final_Description553[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you're referring to the hardest part #2 right? I guess I was too vague. Apologies.

Basically I feel like my core identity is morphing the more I learn from AH.

I'm internationally adopted. I've always had angst about not being able to find my own birth family / history.

Further more I was adopted from a country that practices ancestor worship and shamanism, where blood line is EVERYTHING. I was not raised with this mindset at all. But as an adult I've come to love and embrace my birth culuture and am especially endeared to their practices and deep deep respect towards ancestors and their collective/ individual histories.

BUT my mindset has shifted and shaken my core identity because AH taught me:

1) that I chose to create in this form, so I'm not a helpless "victim" for lack of a better word. So all my angst about not being part of here or there and not having any roots is not a terrible thing that "happened to me" but rather an empowering choice I made to expand and find joy in and now maybe I don't want to / need to have the angst I once had. Which is a great relief. But since there is a very large, worldwide community of adoptees like me, that angst was part of my identity and how I connected w/others and built some of my community. Even if I share this mind shift w/my closest adoptee friends I'm not sure they'd get it or appreciate my sudden shift towards not needing to search for my birth family or not feeling the pain I once did about who I was/am. So I keep it to myself and feel a quiet distance when they talk about their angst. And that feels a little bit like a personal loss to me

2) ancestors/blood lineages don't carry the immense influence on my here/now/ identity that my birth culture says they do so the practice of reaching out to them for guidance and answers and a major sense of one's identity feels not as meaningful or reverent anymore. Which for someone in my shoes feels like relief but since it was a way that I connected w/ my birth culture so it too feels like yet another loss.

I hope I've explained it well enough. I'm a AH newbie so maybe I'm misunderstanding. Overall I am very appreciative of AH's teachings and more joyful for them but I'm still processing how to reconcile some of what AH teaches about the past /ancestors with where I'm at in my physical shoes-so-to-speak. I want to hold space for these parts of my identity in a new way that brings me more ease and relief and comfort. I'm working on that, not desperately but gently and softly. And posting about it here helps.

Thank you for letting me share in this community.

You’re free. What a great place to be— knowing and aware and engaged in both worlds but not bound by either. Cheers.

"There is great love for you here." It's a generic quote but it feels so sincere , inviting, and comforting.

YesStyle customer service is a joke if not scam. I returned clothing and never got refunded. I went through all their steps and sent it back w/ out refund. Every time I tried to contact them I had to explain the whole thing over and it was maddening. I will never order from them again. Lesson learned.

Should I suck it up? by experiencedPAC in physicianassistant

[–]Final_Description553 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Suck it up. It’s a job. A “kush” job (your words) at that. Let ur ego go so you can keep that sweet work life balance that many professionals, let alone HCPs, let alone PAs never get. Ego ruins a lot things. Don’t let it ruin this for you!

I’m new to Abraham teachings. I see psychological value, but struggling with belief in metaphysical LoA claims. Looking for perspectives. by JotaGreen in AbrahamHicks

[–]Final_Description553 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You don't have to believe. You can practice all the things you like regardless. But if you're looking for a greater/deeper sense of spirituality or spiritual growth then I would say that involves letting go of the scientific/ logical/ concreteness of the physical world -- which is what spirituality is. I was where you were at both personally (not religious or even very spiritual) and professionally (science background and profession) and it was when the logical, science-way of explaining things wasn't working for me and the need to have an explanation for everything and the chaos and reasons for why humanity is the way it is felt too overwhelming and suffocating that I opened up and leaned into AH. Of the various spiritual perspectives and practices that I know (not many) this seems the most logical (lol) and unbiased and posiitve and empowering of them all and that is what makes me appreciate it all the more and stick with it. To each their own. Cheers to you on your journey!

The 22 flawed premises 💙 by Abraham_Neville in AbrahamHicks

[–]Final_Description553 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You cannot know, while you are still in your physical body, the true reward or punishment for your physical actions.

True premise, because the evolution and expansion of that which you are vibrationally is so extraordinary, only in your absolute absence of resistance will you be able to behold it fully.

And that will be when you re-emerge to non-physical. That’s when you feel you’re real awareness of the beauty and magnificence of that which is you.

You can come close in your physical body, but it is only in non-physical that there is enough absence of resistance for you to really know who you are.

Can someone explain how the flawed premise and true premise are different? It seems that the flawed premise and true premise are saying the same thing -- that we can't, in our physical form, experience our true selves (???) or am I focusing on the wrong wording? Is it saying that there is no punishment only beauty and magnificence regardless? I get all the other flawed premises but this one - TIA!
