"Haven't seen it, but now that you have mentioned that it has these principles, I am intrigued, so I think I might. "
"Hi Patricia, just passing by...how are you? it's been a while, I'm glad you're here, I thought I would enjoy some of your Abe quotes...

"Creating fictional worlds is fun. Back in the 70s, I was an illustrator working with a writer-friend who was composing a Dune inspired saga. It never got completed, but the creativity involved was a high."
"Seth is always fascinating, thanks for sharing these quotes. Especially like 'Consciousness, to be fully free, had to be endowed with unpredictability.""
"Life is good Pat. Actually, it gets better with age.
Good to hear you're still engaged with writing.
Are you working on a book project, or short stories?
By the way, any new and good science fiction out there?"

"Pat, how the heck are you? How's life in SD? I've not been around here much, but thought I would drop by and say hi..."
"Thanks Patra, this is all very interesting/useful... I may have more questions later ;-)"
"I read somewhere in a thread about the grid about a process where you become specific about what you don't want, and then become general about what you don't want, etc. Is this another Abe process?"
"Never boring for me, I'm always interested in revisiting the fundamentals in fresh new ways... "
"Wow. The grid is a powerful idea, to create from a fundamental state of allowing, circumventing the potential vibrational quagmire that can come with an attachment to specific goals."
"Just heard of the grid recently, sounds interesting. Where would I find a primer? Perhaps I will check out the resources you've been so helpful to compile and organize..."
"Choosing joy in the face of contrast that can be intimidating is quite a cool trick. But It's something like mastering lucid dreaming, waking within the dream and seeing the illusion for what it is."
"Hi Patra, nice to hear back from you... yes you're right about expansions, I'm surfing the contrast, learning to appreciate it, expansion is the inevitable outcome I expect...."
"Hello Ms Sifter, how are you? You've created a valuable resource here at PI! I don't drop by here as much these days, but thought it's been too long, wanted to say hi..."

hey esteemed peer! concept for chewing....COGNITIVE SPIRITUALITY. only makes sense if you've heard of cognitive behavior therapy, but it's synonymous in context of deliberate creating with emotional intelligence....as is cognitive behavior therapy. that's what we're doing!
so see you in six months or a year, whatever :)
I'm always reminded of something Philip K. Dick once said:
"With ordinary fiction, you say, 'What If?' But with science fiction you say, MY GOD, WHAT IF?" And let the imagination run wild!
That's the most fun -- allowing anything and everything to be possible :-)
Hi Greg --
I'm in the midst of what's become a monstrous SF/Fantasy saga -- challenging to keep all the plot lines tangled just so, without getting muddled, but it's a lot of fun. Also playing with the idea of a book of poetry -- think I might do that too, one day soon.
I've read a few shallow "space opera" adventure type stories that were forgettable, but nothing deep for a while. I do miss it. So I think I'll do some book-shopping this weekend :-)
And you're right -- life DOES get better with age! No doubt about it.
Here's some nice words Abe gave on 3-27-2011
"creative prowess"
I like those words!
Well, HELLO there, stranger! Nice to hear from you!
I trust all is well with your and yours, eh? Life is good with me, staying busy, playing in my fiction and generally having fun.
Just got in off the road -- need a bit of sleep. I'll catch up with you later.
Great to know you're still alive and kicking :-)
It's a real pleasure to see you, Greg. Pop up anytime.
Ah...that's the lead up to the grid process as it was happening. Here's the evolution...
The emotional guidance scale is an amazing process when done correctly...meaning when you are actually dropping resistance. However, you can also increase resistance for several reasons, all easy to occur ones really. Scripting and Creative Workshops also provided the same semantical reasons for more user friendly process.
So, intro to the "Go General Process"...I personally never touched it, seemed too tricky to me as I watched hotseaters attempting with Abe. But yes, it is another process and the principle is what you said...go specifically negative then generally negative (go from high speed negative and slow it down is what you are doing energetically) then go general (process of creation which works both ways), then you'll naturally start to swing generally positive (positive side of process of creation) and as you maintain that you'll naturally start to go specifically positive. No hotseater could manage the process IN the hotseat, I speculate because we just don't know enough semantics of the law basically. The "danger zone" in that process is trying to go negatively general once specifically negative. I can't recall if any came to the hotseat to report success, but next Abe came with the Grid.
With the grid they still recommend watching your emotional jumps and it's true..it can get a bit rough still but nothing like any of the other processes emotionally or manifestationally. Basically the Grid is a pivot method from negative emotion to positive emotion by using some interesting semantics...don't claim the feeling that you don't have; state intention to feel it with "I want to feel" statements. And it's a stabilizer by practicing emotions that you are sometimes able to feel but want more stability within by using "I like to feel" statements. And it's an amplifier of energy by making "I love to feel" statements when you are within the desired state of being.
They all are based on speed of energy. The more specific the focus, positive or negative, the faster the energy. In that same vein, "I want to feel" is least specific, "I like to feel" is more specific, "I love to feel" is most specific. In any of the processes the speed of energy is useful to moderate; see quantum leaping thread for more on that from Abe.
Basically the principle is when you attempt to turn too hard going too fast you just wreck emotionally or pop some manifestation that demonstrates what you were pre-paving in the midst of your new pre-paving in the difference as you observe and react, NOW you wreck emotionally. Eventually you exhaust yourself and give up and/or increase resistance that you didn't even have before you began. A Law of Attraction casualty :) And it's all about being able to slow the energy down once it's high speed and negative or even high speed and positive without the experiencer realizing the law basedness of the thoughts they are receiving which causes feelings of having committed wrong, which is the root of physical disease. Oops.
:))
Too much information? Oh.... I think one hotseater at least did manage SOME specifically general to generally negative work in the hotseat. Maybe. I seem to recall one, I think.
Ah, fundamentals. Very nice.
Yes! And you can still point at specifics if you are the midst of intimidating contrast and only find relief in one solution that you can believe by identifying how it would feel and letting the relief/joy be your evidence that what you want is at least somewhere in the vicinity of what's inevitable for you. But that's only in the midst of intense situations that are already happening, kind of u-turning mid-manifestation while on-the-fly changing your beliefs that caused the whole thing. When Abe first disclosed it they said it was a good way to slow negative momentum down in thoughts and in manifestations, as well as a great tool for the best form of deliberate creation: preemptive!
Having been privy to this kind of stuff for so long, I wonder if you find it ...umm, a bit boring to focus unless life causes you to by sticking something unwanted in your face? Boring might not be the right word, but its in the vicinity.
There are several threads, one Emotional Grid, one Other Vortices ~ Grids, and there's a process thread ...this movie might be the best primer http://youtu.be/T9UrX54uD1g
I really like it bc it demonstrates Abe's overall message in one process while leading into others (if you wish) from a chosen emotional stance. It is immediately usable and hard to misunderstand with just a few basics lain out.
