Who am I? what does it mean to be source energy?

[arpee]

So, I am not my actions, or thoughts, those are things that are arising from my emotions. I am not my emotions, my emotions (happiness/love) are just an indicator of my alignment to source.

So what exactly 'is' source? What exactly 'am' I an extension of?

This 'alignment' is shown through positive manifestion and love and joy, but what is the actual 'alignment'?

Abraham-Hicks’ Teachings In Brief
You are a Physical Extension of that which is Non-physical. All-That-Is, or God, is not finished and waiting for you to catch up. You are the leading edge of thought, here seeking more: more of all that feels good to you, more of that which is fresh and gloriously uplifting. (You are, in essence, bringing heaven to earth.)
You are here in this body because you chose to be here. You wanted the opportunity to experience this delicious contrast in time and space, and with great anticipation you came to co-create with other joy-seeking beings, to fine-tune the process of deliberate thought. (What, where, when and with whom are your choices, too.)
The basis of your life is Freedom; the purpose of your life is Joy. You are free to choose to discover new avenues for joy. In your joy you will grow, and in your joyous growth you will add to the growth experience of All-That-Is. (However, you are also free to choose bondage or pain.)
You are a creator; you create with your every thought. You often create by default, for you are getting what you are giving your attention to wanted or unwanted but you know by how it feels if what you are getting (creating) is what you are wanting or if it is not what you are wanting. (Where is your attention focused?)
Anything that you can imagine is yours to be or do or have. As you ask yourself why you want it, the essence of your desire is activated, and the Universe begins to bring it to you. The more intense your positive feelings, the faster it is coming to you. (It is as easy to create a castle as a button.)
You are choosing your creations as you are choosing your thoughts. Your loving, Inner Being offers guidance in the form of emotion. Entertain a wanted or unwanted thought and you feel a wanted or unwanted emotion. Choose to change the thought and you’ve changed the emotion and the creation. (Make more choices in every day.)
The Universe adores you; for it knows your broadest intentions. You have come to earth with great intentions, and the Universe constantly guides you on your chosen path. When you are feeling good, you are, in that moment, allowing more of that which you have intended from your broader perspective. (You are Spirit Incarnate.)
Relax into your natural Well-being. All is well. (Really it is!) The essence of all that you appreciate is constantly flowing into your reality. As you find more things to appreciate, your state of appreciation opens more avenues to more to feel appreciation for. (As you think you vibrate. As you vibrate you attract.)
You are a creator of thoughtways on your unique path of joy. No one can limit where you can direct your thought. There are no limits to your joyous journeys to experience. On the path to your happiness you will discover all that you want to be or do or have. (Allowing others their experiences allows you yours.)
Actions to be taken and money to be exchanged are by-products of your focus on joy. On your deliberately joyous journey your actions will be inspired, your resources will be abundant and you will know by the way you feel that you are fulfilling your reason for life. (Most have this one backwards, therefore most feel little joy in their actions or their possessions.)
You may appropriately depart your body without illness or pain. You need not attract illness or pain as an excuse to leave. Your natural state coming, remaining or leaving is that of health and of Well-being. (You are free tochoose otherwise.)
You can not die; you are Everlasting Life. In grace, you may choose to relax and allow your gentle transition back into your Non-physical state of pure, positive Energy. Your natural state is that of Foreverness. (Have fun with all of this. Lighten up! You can’t get it wrong.)
P.S. It is not necessary for even one other person to understand the Laws of the Universe or the processes that we are offering here in order for you to have a wonderful, happy, productive Life Experience for you are the attractor of your experience. Just you!

[arpee]

Ok, so I am a creator creating my own life experience (from this vantage point of leading edge of thought) for the purpose of joy; but, here is another question:

What if a person desires to never have contrast in this physical body again, to just flow through the rest of life with joy, will that be possible if we truly create our own lives?

If an animal is running away, not wanting to be eaten as food, why can't they just live their life in freedom the way they choose if they are a creator?

[SheerLuckHolmes]

You are the ability to be aware. Before anything else, bottom line, you are the ability to be aware.

If you never experience contrast again, you would stagnate and become very bored. Contrast even exists within the nonphysical. Abraham has pointed this out.

Contrast is the fuel for expansion. It is as necessary to the expansion of All That IS as breathing is to us humans. Contrast just is, accept it, embrace it, appreciate it, use it consciously and deliberately and it will never bother you again. It will only stimulate and excite you for the expansion it is urging you toward.

[Hearts of Summer]

Tony, that was so beautiful and amazing, thank you!!

Arpee, I think that is a valid question that a lot of people come to Abe with. They say "You mean I *wanted* this? Why would I choose to leave non-physical for this?!" and Abe says "because from your larger perspective you wanted the adventure" or something like that. The animal running from the predator knows in its larger knowing that it has thousands of lifetimes to live again and again and this is just a tiny blip in eternity. It ends up being all in the way you view contrast. As Abe also says, there is no source of "evil". So I think that while NO contrast is not the basis of this existence, one could live a very easy, flowy, happy life if one was always vibrating on the higher parts of the EGS. There are a lot of examples of people who live earthly lives with very little contrast I would think. We mainly hear about and write about the ones who experience the most contrast! Abe says some of us like the drama ;-)

To answer your original question, I'd say that You are the sum of your desires, and that how you feel, as you rightly say, is an indicator of the degree to which you are in alignment or otherwise with All That You Have become.

As for your second post. False premise number one seems to be 'contrast is a bad thing'. it isn't! It's necesseary! You can't see white without black (or some other colour, at least) to define it. Contrast is just variety, definition... and you choose what you focus on. And you can't decide you prefer sweet strawberries if you haven't tasted sour ones. And all contrast is the same, it's just there for you to define what is wanted.

As fpr the animals, Abe has said they are not so much creators as allowers, humans are the creators. abe has also said that animals don't run because they are running AWAY from being eaten, from death, but they are running FOR life. But they also know that there is no such thing as death. As Abe would say, you've gotta get over this death thing!

As for wanting only joy in your life and NO contrast... if you only ever felt joy it would actually get boring, you would want some contrast to spice things up. if you lived on a diet of cake and sweets you'd pretty quickly start to dislike it, to feel sick, in fact. You'd wany some salt, you'd want some savoury, you'd want some sour, you'd WANT the contrast of different flavours. And so it is with the rest of life. Why not just aime for balance and harmony, and yes, joy, but don't push against that which isn't joyful to you, or you'll just get more of it, anyway.

With love,

So I think that while NO contrast is not the basis of this existence, one could live a very easy, flowy, happy life if one was always vibrating on the higher parts of the EGS. There are a lot of examples of people who live earthly lives with very little contrast I would think. We mainly hear about and write about the ones who experience the most contrast!

I heard Abe say in some seminar, that there is still contrast on the non-physical side, yet at the same time that there is only the experience of pure positive
energy.

Maybe how positive one is is the discernment and the more positive one is, the more specific a person can be when manifesting their desires. Maybe you don't have to dip into negative contrast to get expansion.

In fact, I have noticed that I still notice contrast while I'm in the Vortex, only I feel differently about it - more on the higher parts of the EGS like you mentioned. For example, things that use to make me angry merely catch my attention now, and I say to my self, "Well I would prefer that instead." So there is no pushing against in my observation/vibration. Only me directing my focus towards the solution to the contrasting observation. It's all very easy.


Here's a quote that talks about this range of positive emotion:

Abe: When you allow it to flow, when you allow the WHOLE of yourself to flow, you feel not just the initial ease or absence of tension of that, but you can focus in such a way that you feel the dynamism of it. You feel the robustness of it. You feel the friskiness of it. You feel the fullness of it.

And so those emotions that range from a feeling of wellbeing, what you might call comfort or contentment, to enthusiasm and passion, that is the range when you are consciously and deliberately allowing that flow. ~ Alaska Cruise 6-25-11

before you came into this body, YOU KNEW you would be experiencing contrast or you would not have come. It was your choice. And the amazing thing is, you do it over and over and over....and can't wait to do it again once you transitioned back into the non-physical. Hard to believe sometimes, but know it's true...

There is a clip called "Abraham Hicks- Abe who am I" where a HS asks the same question
