Abraham Hicks 68 seconds of pure thought

[Jrcisn305]

The Power of 68 Seconds

So, just how powerful is my offering of 68 seconds of pure, focused thought? How powerful are my thoughts really?

According to Abraham-Hicks:

17 seconds = 2,000 hours of action taken
34 seconds = 20,000 hours of action taken
51 seconds = 200,000 hours of action taken
68 seconds = 2,000,000 hours of action taken

Yes, that last figure is not a typo. According to Abraham-Hicks, when we offer 68 seconds of pure, focused thought, it is the equivalent of two million hours of action taken. Yes, million! Do the math. This is truly incredible!

In fact, it is so incredible to me that I am calling it the greatest secret in the Universe for manifesting my desires! Do you agree?

As Abraham-Hicks concludes:

“Who would want to bang things into place, when they know that they can spend 68 seconds and have the universe do it for them? Nobody, yet it is what the majority of you do. You would rather jump into action than do your 68 seconds. You would rather jump into action than align up your energy."

So, let me ask you now “Got 68 seconds?”

I know that I do!

Assuming this is accurate, how does one generate a pure, focused thought, and then be certain it was such? I've visualized very intensely for at least this long, and gotten only so-so results...

Okay, you sit and think clearly for 17 seconds, and I'll go take action towards my goals.

2,000 hours from now, we shall see who has achieved more

I disagree with where you're headed. This makes alot of sense when you think about it. I'll explain,

You can take action every moment for 2,000,000 hours, but during that time your thoughts are focused on the current action. If you are trying to accomplish a truly worthwhile goal, you may never know it because you are not acting from a place of clarity. A person who will take that 68 seconds to meditate and then take a very clear, purposeful action will accomplish much more than 2,000,000 hours of fumbling in the dark. Consider this analogy. You go to a shooting range in the middle of the night. There are no lights on. You don't even know which direction the targets are in. You want to get a bullseye, so you begin firing. Even if you spent 2,000,000 hours firing, the chance that you are going to get a bullseye is incredibly slim. Now, let's say it's 2pm on a cloudless day. The range is brightly lit and you can see everything. You take some time to steady yourself, aim down the sight and shoot. Your odds of hitting the bullseye just increased phenomenally.

dont think i have ever even had 10secs of pure thought lols

[nicbrahms]

I am afraid that the focused thought stuff is a crock of ****. I have focused for for 68 seconds for countless times and nothing came of it and I know my thought was pure.

It has been created by someone who knows it can't be disproved other than by the billions of people doing it and acheiving so-so results, or no results. They are playing on people' desires to have something concrete to believe in.

I suggest you read the the 'I channelled an entity called Anca.' as my entity has just told me stuff about them.

Question, What is pure thought?

Exactly, from the minute I read it, it didn't make any sense to me all those months ago.

If thought only attracts more thought, it belies the whole LOA process as LOA is supposed to bring things, experiences to us and not more thought.

I still tried it, and now I know from my core that it is a crap, as I have grown to channel and now become telepathic and sense things way before they happen and from people.

Esther and Jerry hicks are lovely people, they have become waylaid on their path and it has now become all Esther and she thinks she is channelling.

Her entity left her a long time ago as she was not imparting the correct message, her spin was being put on it.

So would you say that Esther is able to answer the questions at the workshops all by herself, just from experience as she knows by now what Abraham are going to say What I noticed so far is that the information in the more recent books feels fairly repetitive to me personally.

Did you try it for manifesting material goods or just for fun to see how it works? I did the 68 seconds exercise maybe a year ago, trying to manifest a seahorse or the image of a seahorse. It took a few days until the seahorse suddenly popped up in a YouTube clip unexpectedly. In between I was wondering if the process was going to work or not, so I did have doubts. I guess it worked in the end because I wasn't attached to the outcome, just curious.

I have tried it for loads of things, and I find the thoughts that are fleeting in my head are the ones that appear quick.

Also have you listened to Esther on the big bus tour on their website, she is exactly the same speaking as she is when channelling, same fluidity same style etc. Thats when my first doubts crept in.

Also a lot of the genuine channellers, and now that I channel I know that keeping your eyes closed keeps the link strong, I have my eyes closed when channelling, opening them leaves the message weak and I lose connection, as demonstated at end of some of my posts.

Thats why I have to edit alot on my posts, cause typing with eyes closed makes many mistakes.

I think as a couple they are great and doing a great thing, so good for them, but the message must be taken with a pinch of salt for confusion follows.

How do you decide this isn't *merely* a coincidence, if it takes a few days before an image appears and then it's just in a YouTube clip?

I don't really believe in coincidences When you focus on something it usually appears in your surroundings as an alpha reflection or "driftwood", so why not on YouTube? As far as I understand it the amount of time it takes to appear can vary.

depends on the type of channeling, and the experience and skill level of the channeler/receiver. for some receivers, they need their eyes closed or they need to keep them closed at first. for others, they can channel with their eyes open.

i have experienced Kryon through Lee Carrol. Lee kept his eyes open when Kryon was speaking through him, and all i need is my own body's resonance response to know it was legit. i couldn't stop rocking, but it was a very gentle rocking, and i felt like i was wrapped in a warm blanket. that's just the way the vibes in the room shifted when Kryon came in.

i don't have to close my eyes, but i do get kind of off in another way of experiencing the universe, which results in more typos because i'm less present with my fingers. i think it is a bit simplistic to say ALL/MOST/A LOT OF channelers must have their eyes closed to keep a strong connection.

The point is this can become so open-ended as to be useless. If you first see a seahorse a month later, is that a manifestation? Six months later? I think the time frame does matter.

When I say a lot of channellers, I am referring to a documentary that was made, involving amongst others, Bashar. Majority of them kept their eyes closed. Hence a lot, they are the modern day channellers, working at present.
There must have been about 8 featured.

Since I channelled, I have become very sensitive to energy, and the Abe Hicks vibe is very wrong. What do you pick up Rei when you listen to Esther Hicks?

Would be interesting to know, cause I think you might feel the same way. I have to admit my overwhelming feel is that it is not right, the info that is coming through.

well, that is still only 8 receivers, out of hundreds from the thousands who claim to do the work (probably far less are legit out of those thousands of people). and again, it depends on the type of channeling a person is doing. if the person has enough skill and understanding of safety concerns to be a full body channeler, then the presence would probably use the eyes. but even with other forms of channeling, it depends on a lot of various factors including skill level, experience, and exactly how the receiver connects to the information being transmitted.

what i mean is, if you connect to it through vibrations of feelings which you can instantly convert into words (or through feelings which the presence converts into words), then you may not need to concentrate as much as someone who is picking up images to convert into words - or, if your own natural vibration rate and energy are closer aligned to the being that is coming through, then you may not need to do as much to establish and maintain that connection.

regarding Abraham and all of that... i do not get the same impression you do.

[cylon]

What I've been doing is using my iPhone's stopwatch to time these increments of focused thought. It's a nice reminder to stay centered and sort of makes for a fun ritual.

Our thoughts go all over the place. We might think "I've been focusing on this forever!" but it's more likely that you thought about something for a second, then negated it, then tried to focus again, each thought cancelling out the next.

Right now, I can maybe go ten seconds without a slightly contradictory thought whispering in my ear. So 17 seconds of PURE, non-diluted thought is an accomplishment. I'm sure it's like any skill, you improve with practice.

So a question you could ask yourself is "throughout my day, how often am I purely focused on what I want, with no contradicting thoughts competing for my attention?"

[supertom]

I enjoyed the seth works the most, things he mentioned like running away from enlightenment, make sense to me now. Anyway the 68secs of pure thought is not a new abraham concept, I remember hearing it in 2007.

[moonrambler]

Thread reopened.

Let's give it another whirl. On topic, please.

But the thing is.......EVERYTHING is thought. Everything is consciousness. It's all just different manifestations of consciousness, or in other words, thought.

When you "attract" or "manifest" something all you are doing is manipulating thought which in turn connects to more thoughts, and more thoughts, until you have enough pulling power to achieve alignment with the particular thought (read: physical stuff) that you are after.

I also consider myself to be sensitive to energy, and I do not perceive anything negative coming from Esther Hicks when she channels Abraham. I sense a very intelligent and loving energy. Not to say there are not channels out there with more specifc information, but I am VERY confident she is legitimately channeling a non-physical intelligence.

That's also not to say that some people don't inadvertently channel self serving entities and not realize it (discernment is very important), but I do not get that impression from Esther Hicks at all.

Yes, I think "pure" thought is actually pretty rare when we are honest with ourselves about it. Pure, in this context, meaning non-resistant, and powerfully focused. I've noticed that the less resistant a given thought is, the less energy (thought) is required for a given manifestation.

How much energy would be required to move a 2 ton car if it did not resist our push? Not much I'll wager.

Same goes for manifesting and contradictory thought. My most instantaneous manifestations are the ones where there was little or no contradiction in belief. I think that's what Abraham means by "pure thought".

It only takes a long time when we are attached to thoughts, concepts, and beliefs which negate or otherwise cause friction to the desired flow of conscious energy. Because to make up for the loss of energy do to negative friction, more energy must be sent out to achieve the desired result.

Per nicbrahms posts - it actually makes total sense to me that my thoughts wouldn't be the driving force. After all, at least according to the BL model (which resonates best for me at present), it is my Expanded Self that is responsible for manifesting! Also, are not thoughts themselves manifestations? Honestly and deeply examine this question - do you create your thoughts? If, for example, I suddenly think of a pink elephant, and there are no external stimuli to make me think of one, what was the trigger? Where did that trigger originate?

Thats so funny, I think of pink elephants if a thought ever crops up in my head I don't want. I guess they are showing up everywhere now, pink elephants that is.

Also I think your point is brilliant about external stimuli. I firmly believe now that once you decide what you choose for your life experience, it puts you on the path toward that, and like the future resonates into the past.
I think the future provides the stimuli for thoughts in the present.

Because once you think the thought and build the future of choice, the outcome is done. Now all that remains is to get from here to there, and therein lies the stimulation for certain thoughts that provide the inspiration to get you to that outcome. Yes thats what I think the entity means from previous channelling.

I am gonna channell on this cause I think it explains alot.

As usual Wax frog you are impeccably right.

Thank you for getting me on this train of thought.

well like i believe ... there is no such thing in this world as absolute truth ....
its just as my truth , your truth, his truth ... my opinion, your opinion , his opinion ... etc ..they are only conclusions drawn from evidence and premises ... in other words created by conciousness as believed ...

so i think we should close this discussion ... cause this focused thought thing may be truth for someone ..... and untruth for the other ... its just what you observe it to be ....

The Observer Creates Reality SImply by Observing ....
its just that simple .......
