It seems I'm hearing conflicting information from two sources in the non-physical realm. On the one hand, Abraham teaches that all we have to do is have the desire (which is automatic), acknowledge that the Universe has heard and will answer, and then stand back to allow those desires to be fulfilled. On the other hand, the entities being channeled by "Catherine" are telling us that we have no control whatsoever, that we are "fated" to experience those things set into motion well before our births. |
Honestly I would scrutinize both. Catherine gives away her power to the masters and Abraham teaches you to give away your power to the universe. The beliefs are the same.... both make you powerless and unable to effect change without outside help ("masters" or "universe"). There still is the separation of self and other.
If you're trying to acknowledge you're the creator of all your experience, it makes it more difficult.
Such teachings may have come through for people who are not ready to be responsible for all their experience and need a higher power to lean on. i.e. a person ready to make changes in their life but doesn't want the
whole enchilada just yet. And I can understand that.
Also, channeled beings are not all knowing, they can get tripped up by the same mistakes and denial that we fall into.
So look at both teachings and see if either is where you want to go. Do they empower you? Can you create your experiences through them? Are they limiting in any way?
