Soliciting From Others

Soliciting From Others
---
Even your greatest enemy has more points of harmony than of
disharmony. And so, as you are wanting to interact with a being
that you are not getting along with, with a being that rings your
warning bells continually, if you will intend to see that which you
approve of, if you intend to see that which you like, then you will
literally begin to solicit from that being, those things.
---
Are you understanding that in every relationship you have --
whenever you are having unpleasant experiences, you are attracting
the unpleasant experience because that is where you are giving your
attention.
---
Here is the principle, for it will apply regarding all things:
You see in this being all the things that you are wanting until you
are influenced by [another or your own habit] to look for flaws,
then you begin to SOLICIT, to SUMMON, to literally DRAW from that
being, the things that you don't like. Where before, before the
influence [to look for flaws], you were drawing the things that you
did like. Do you understand what we are saying? The "imperfect" or
the "perfect" person has nothing to do with it.

Q: OK. Now this person here, you're seeing all of these
imperfections, and you are literally drawing them out of him?

Abe: Indeed. He is becoming your creation.
---
You are seeing that which you are intending. He is as he always
has been. He is, as everyone is, a combination of all of these
things, you see. But you are drawing from hin -- just as you draw
from life -- that which you focus upon.
And if you focus upon that which you are wanting to see, that is
what you will draw into your experience -- whether you are talking
about the Universe, or one single soul.
---
The tendency is to blame the other for his imperfection. We are
wanting you to assume the responsibility for his imperfection as he
interacts with you, for you are soliciting it from him. The
tendency is to see a flaw in another and judge and blame the other,
and what we are saying to you is -- only what you see is there.
And so, now where are you? Now you are in the position where you
may have perfect relationships with everyone as you are clear about
what you are wanting as you are only seeing what you are wanting.
And when you see that which is not in harmony with who you are, look
away.
---
You are wanting to be ALLOWERS. And you will know when you have
achieved that when you are willing to allow another, even when the
other does not allow you. When you are able to allow, even when the
other is not allowing you -- you will have absolute freedom.
You see, the only thing that binds you is negativity. Without it
you are free, joyously. And so, as you look at another and see only
that which brings forth joy -- you are free. As you look at another
and see that which brings forth negativity -- you are bound by your
own decision of what you are soliciting.
We are wanting you to release the responsibility from all those
you are blaming for all of the things they are doing wrong and for
all of the ways they are messing up your life. They are not doing
it. You are doing it!
---
You solicit from you very own being that which you do not want to
be. As you look at yourself, and you see that which is wrong, you
see that which is not in harmony with your greater wanting -- and as
you do that, you create more.
See in yourselves that which you are wanting, and that is what
you will draw forth.
