*Abundance and Believability* Q: I'm perplexed and curious. B: Well, all right. Exciting states to be in, states of discovery. Q: Yes, about a particular relationship situation with a person that is one of the owners of the company that I work for. B: All right. Q: I would very much appreciate anything you could tell me, share with me. B: Well, what is your definition of the situation? Q: Mmmm. The definition of the situation is that one of the owners of the company has a very strong reaction to me. I'm one of the top performers in the company. No matter what I do, periodically - at least once a week - he has an outrageous outburst of anger. B: All right. Q: Now, I know that in some way I co-created this at one point... B: Well, yes. But that doesn't necessarily mean that when you interact with someone, that what /they/ do is an absolute on-to-one reflection of what /you're/ doing. It may simply be a co-creation to allow them to see in the situation what they need to see. And you can get out of it what you need to see. But the idea of certain situations doesn't necessarily mean that it is relevant to each of you in the same way, or to the same degree. Understand? Q: I would really appreciate it if you could enlighten me in any way. B: Have you discussed this with that person? Q: He's threatened to fire me three times, in front of the entire company... B: Have you asked a reason? Q: Mmhmm. B: And? Q: I don't get an answer. Because the thing is, there's no real reason. B: All right. Do you desire to remain there? Q: The truth is, no. B: Well then? Q: But I do desire to stay there for a while. B: Why? Q: Well, it's my income. B: So? Q: And... B: So? Q: I've got fairly high expenses. B: What makes you think you will not be able to attract yourself into a circumstance that will be equivalent? Or even more expanded? Are you going to allow him to take the responsibility of pushing you out the door, when you know you want to walk? Q: Well, he can't push me out; I'm one of the top performers. B: Well, but you are creating a symbol that could create the friction that would then force you to leave under negative circumstances, instead perhaps of allowing yourself to learn from your own symbol that you are being given an opportunity to realize that you actually prefer to be somewhere else. This is a suggestion. How does it ring within you? Q: Well, I'd know that I would prefer to be somewhere else. B: Where? Q: I don't have a clue. B: All right. Will you give yourself the opportunity to see the more expanded version of what you would prefer to do, if you were not in the company you are in now? Can you have - or do you have in your imagination - a picture, or a play, of what you would prefer to be doing in a more expanded way? Can you see yourself doing something that you cannot do in the company you are in now - somewhere else? Q: Absolutely. B: Now, maybe... maybe what you mean is: "I can't believe what I see." Maybe that's what you mean. How does that sound? Q: I'm having... I can believe it; I can't quite get the timing. B: Oh, the timing! All right. I love this technique! This excites me a lot to use this technique - called the "threshold of believability." Are you willing to be very honest and very direct? Q: Yes. B: All right. Now: recreate the image of the ecstatic, abundant, spontaneous, carefree artist that you are. All right? Q: Got it. B: All right. Now: do you perceive that you will be able to be that /you,/ beyond a shadow of a doubt, no problem, in ten of your years? Q: Yes. B: All right. Now: do you perceive that you will be able to be that you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, no problem, in ten of your years? Q: Yes. B: All right, five of your years? Q: (Pause) Yes. B: Why did you hesitate? Q: I had to really get five. I mean, it's a lot of abundance for five, from what I am now. B: All right. Would you like to try that again? (Giggle) All right. Do you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, know that you are capable of creating that reality in your life in ten years? Q: Yes. B: Why are you so sure that you can do it in ten years? Q: I don't have a clue. You asked me not to think about it, and that's the answer that came out. B: Very good! But in other words, you simply /know/ that is sufficient time for you, yes? Q: Yes. B: No problem, more than enough time. Easy as pie, as you say. Is that what you are saying when you say: "I just know." Q: Yes. B: All right. Do you feel, therefore, that nine years is sufficient? If ten years is sufficient to create that life style, is nine years sufficient? Q: Sure. B: So you believe it? Q: Yes. B: All right, fair enough. So you believe seven years is sufficient? Q: The shadow of the doubt is there - the shadow. B: At seven years? Q: Yes, the shadow. B: All right. What does that shadow look like? What is the little voice that says: "I don't know if I can do this in seven years?" What allows you to believe it would take longer than seven years? What came in? What was the doubt? Q: Hmmm. B: All right. Go back to nine. Go back to ten years. No problem at ten years. Q: Mmhmm. B: What is the difference between doing it at ten years and doing it at seven? What is the definitive difference between the two scenarios in your mind? What do you see yourself capable of doing at ten years that you don't see yourself capable of doing at seven? Q: Well, I'm not so sure...hmm. It's the economics and the timing. B: Economics and the timing. All right. Can you be more specific? You are saying to me - as I interpret what you are saying - that you cannot imagine that you will be economically abundant in seven years, but that ten years is enough. Is that what you are saying? Q: Well, once you said it like that, I'm not quite so sure... B: Oh, all right. What are you saying? What is the difference between seven and ten years - in your ability to be that image? All of you can be applying this to yourselves and what excites you the most. Q: I'm sorry to be so hesitant and take so much time. B: I beg you pardon! Sorry? Q: Mmhmm. B: Did I ask for an apology? Q: No. (Strawberry, from the audience: "Yeah, you said you begged her pardon.") B: Thank you! Now we're on the track. See what happens when you get born all over again. You start being as much of a smart aleck as me, and I love it! Thank you for speaking to me as a Sassanian would. All right! Now that I'm no longer begging and you are no longer sorry - can you define the difference? Are you creating within your mind an assumption of a particular type of structure that you think you need in order to have the economics at ten years, that you can't have through that same structure at seven? Is it the structure of how you think you have to get the economics? Q: No. B: All right. What makes seven different from ten - aside from three? The sooner you all become equal, the more I shall have to pay close attention so that I am not surrounded by smart alecks. Q: The more you talk, the less difference there is. B: The more I talk, the less difference there is. I'll take that as a compliment! Q: Absolutely. Please do. B: Do you understand you're only listening to yourself, however? Q: Yes. B: All right. Now: it isn't necessarily a matter of analysis. But the more willing you are sometimes to talk about it - what you are saying is that the more equal everything becomes. Q: Yes. B: And those definitions are not chiseled in steel. You are not using definitions that represent the fundamental laws of creation. You are only making definitions and creating definitions that are simply the results of your society's beliefs, and the beliefs that you have bought into. You don't have to buy into them. You can buy into other ones. Sell those; use the money to buy another belief. You'll get a fair price for them. Someone, somewhere, will want that belief, the belief you no longer need. So the less difference you create there to be, in terms of the idea of time and space, then the more flexible you are at any given moment in your ability to create whatever you really want right now. Understand? Q: Yes. B: Pay attention to the scenario you have created. You have seen yourself as an ecstatic abundant creator. That /is/ you. The only thing that separates you /here,/ from that you /there/, is assuming that /that/ you is, in fact, out there. And not right here. All you have to do is be that /you/, act like that /you/. Do the things you see that /you/ doing in your imagination, and you will be that /you/. And because you will be of that frequency, you will have the life of that person. I guarantee it. Guarantee it. Because any frequency you are is the reality you experience. It can be no other way. Q: I understand that. B: All right. So you also do not have to berate yourself for however long it does take. That's your understanding of your timing. And however you do it will be just fine. So simply recognize that you do have the ability, however, to go wherever you really want to go - right now! Understand? Q: Yes. B: And all you have to do is act in the clear way that represents the /you,/ you imagine yourself to be - now. Clear? Q: Yes. B: Does that serve you? Q: It does. Can I ask you one more thing? B: Yes. Q: It's just my curiosity about this relationship, which triggered the information and sharing you did with me - which I appreciate very much. But I still... B: The being is throwing a tantrum. The being has been one of your children. Q: Thank you. B: You are welcome. Q: Thank you very much. Is that all? B: Yup! Q: It's been great. B: Thank you.
