I believe I was introduced to Orin and daBen (Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer) in the early 90s, and I agree every *sentence is a gem*. Their books are enjoyable to read again and again. If any Abe fans are reading this and haven’t checked out their books, you can learn more about them at OrindaBen.com.

Now that you mention Orin, I did read their Creating Money: Keys to Abundance book a second time in the early 2000s during my *channeling blackout*. LOL! I had forgotten their work is channeled…or cut them slack because the books were so helpful and enjoyable to read!!! This really shows me that I was not ready to entertain a new channel with Abraham materials.

I have been familiar with channeling since 1975 when I become involved with a psychic/spiritual healing group in No. California. As a matter of fact the founder of our group was a trance medium trained by a well-know British medium who channeled for royalty.

I have found that each time I make a shift in consciousness it occurs around the time I am introduced to a series of teachings that have been “channeled”. Being involved with this group was a huge transformational experience for me.

My studies with this group taught me about Helena Blavatsky and Alice Bailey both authors and mediums. Helena Blavatsky founded the Theosophical society and Alice Bailey, who channeled a Tibetan master, produced many books on metaphysical topics. I especially immersed myself in the Alice Bailey teachings.

Another leap in consciousness occured in the 80′s when I discovered the Orin books by Sanaya Roman. These books helped clarify so much for me. Every sentence was a gem. Everything made sense and was written with crystal clarity. Gone was the esoteric language. These books offered practical easy-to understand explanations and tools on daily living, self-awareness, manifesting and creating a fulfilling life.

And, now I am blessed to have found Abraham. These teachings are by far the highest I have ever experienced. And, yes, once again I am experiencing another shift in consciousness. Some of the information I receive from them I have heard before but am now “getting it” on a deeper level with a clearer understanding. I also benefit from their interactions with others at their workshops as we get to hear how universal laws are played out in so many different situations. It really helps to drive their message home.

We’ve actually talked privately about this before, so I feel safe confessing…

I really enjoy Joel Osteen’s sermons—a pentacostal Christian minister, mind you—as his teachings help combine Bible teachings with Abraham teachings. Now I have the words to help my Christian friends appreciate what Abraham talks about. I not only have podcasts of Joel speaking, but I have his book on my MP3 player and listen to it when I’m hiking in nature. Talk about an uplifting experience (nature + Joel Osteen book)!! WOO HOO!

One of the most wonderful things that Abraham teaches is that diversity is a GOOD thing. By appreciating that some people enjoy what we enjoy at the same time they enjoy things that we would never consciously invite into our world, we can be more loving and accepting of each other. In a nutshell, this is also what Jesus was teaching.

Isn’t it wonderful that we can come together because of our similarities AND our diversities?!? It makes my heart fill with joy to think of that. )

Thank you, also, for sharing your wonderful story about how you connected with Abraham teachings. You were guided in December 2008 so that when your Twitter followers began discussing Abe, you could appreciate what was being explained.

I wonder how many others go back to work and forget about these materials, forget how to apply them consciously to their daily lives…I guess that means that they aren’t *fully* ready to embrace them. Just like you, when they are re-introduced, they will be much more *ready*.

I guess it is time to come out of the closet.

Likewise, many people told me about Abraham. My chiropractor, my coach, so many other people kept telling me about Abraham.

Well, I am a Christian and the channeling business is a huge no-no! However, I sneaked to listen to Abe. This was about seven years ago. I could not really understand most of it. I probably absorbed 10 percent of what they had to say.

Then about four years ago, with more people telling me about Abraham, I started listening again. This time, I started hearing more of what they were saying.

Please note that I am someone that cannot listen to the same thing twice or watch the same tv program a second time.

However, I listen to the Abe tapes I have over and over again and I get something new out of it each time.

Now I hear them describe how the channeling is really just a block of information that is downloaded to Esther as a block of information. Well, that happens to me! Especially with my work, there are times that I know I just got a spiritual download.

Then, I also have heard them talk about my faith as a Christian and how Jesus came to teach man how to access all this information.

They in fact, have strengthened my faith as a Christian. I understand my faith a lot stronger and I am more accepting of others.

So Nancy, there! You made me come out of the closet about my Abe practices.

Thanks.

Then at Xmas 2008, while visiting family in another city, I was given a book voucher for a bookshop I’d never been to before. Happened to see a copy of “Ask and It Is Given”, opened it randomly and the page absolutely spoke to me, no question. I figured since it was covered by the voucher it cost nothing to try, right? So I had nothing to lose.

Took it home, read it in almost a single sitting, found it revolutionary and fell in love. BUT by the time I got back home and went back to work, more or less forgot about it. Fast forward to January 2009 and I set up my first Twitter account. My very first follower was the amazing author Kim Falconer, through whom I connected with a huge array of Law of Attraction and Abraham fans.

Suddenly I was ready. Since then, my understanding has grown in huge leaps and bounds and yes – I am immensely grateful every single day.
