In fact, Abraham specifically said that action is very important in our physical reality. (This point was made in contrast to Abraham's non-physical reality, where he said that thoughts manifest almost instantaneously because time operates differently). |
Well there you go, The Protagonist. Assuming you were referencing
Ask and It Is Given in your above post, perhaps you should re-read the book to cover anything you may have missed/misunderstood/misinterpreted.

Abraham talked of using IM to "prepave the way" - again, this was his phrase. What it suggests is that you're moving on the path towards your goal, but progress will be much smoother because you've already used IM to "prepave the way". You still gotta move your legs and walk along the path though. |
Hmmm, those phrases sound familiar (although not nearly as good as the one I came up with in my post
above 
). I think I remember hearing them from the audio files at the Abraham-Hicks website:
Abraham-Hicks Free MP3 Downloads
...which, for those who don't know, is the website of Esther Hicks, the author of
Ask and It Is Given, and the woman who apparently channels the collective being, "Abraham".
To quote the website:
Quote:
Here are free MP3 downloads of all the tracks from the CD "Introduction to Abraham." It's easy. On most computers, no special software or equipment is needed [to play the audio files].
Click on the track title to listen once. Or save the file for repeated listening, burning to CD, or loading to an MP3 player. Right click on the track title (Windows Internet Explorer), or hold the control key and click (on a Macintosh), and choose from the menu "Save Target As", "Download Link to Disk", or (Macintosh) "Open With iTunes".

I found listening to the files somewhat interesting (not
very interesting, just somewhat), although I don't like the "matter-of-fact" approach Abraham uses which, for me at least, tends to cheapen his/her/it's message. For a collective being from the non-physical realm, I'd expect him/her/it to be much more 1337 (or "elite", for you poor,
1337 speak deprived individuals), or at the very least, more descriptive and in-depth then he/she/it is (ie. I don't just want to know how you think something works, I want to know
why you think it works).
Either way, if you haven't listened to the audio files before and are interested in intention manifestation/the Law of Attraction, you may want to check them out. And I'll reserve further judgement on "Abraham" until I've read/heard more of his/her/it's channelled material, lest he/she/it smite me down from the non-physical realm.
