Abraham Hicks: When to Go General & When to Be Specific.

The best deliberate creating is done in advance, not after the fact.

In other words, by intending or what we have called pre-paving – out there where the air is clearer, you can get the momentum going that sets things in motion, but if you wait until you’ve got something you don’t want.

Who Is Abraham Hicks?

Abraham is a group consciousness from a nonphysical dimension spoken through the human vehicle known as Esther Hicks.

Abraham Hicks is not a person but rather a collective term used to refer to the teachings of Esther Hicks and her late husband, Jerry Hicks.

Esther and Jerry Hicks claimed to channel a group of non-physical entities or consciousness known as “Abraham.”

According to their teachings, Abraham offers insights and guidance on various aspects of life, including the law of attraction, manifesting, well-being, and personal development.

Esther Hicks acts as the channel for Abraham’s messages during workshops, seminars, and through various publications, including books and audio recordings.

The teachings emphasize the power of thoughts and emotions in shaping one’s reality. They encourage individuals to focus on positive thinking and alignment with their desires to attract a more fulfilling life.

It’s worth noting that the teachings of Abraham Hicks have both supporters who find inspiration in the messages and critics who question the legitimacy of the channeling and the principles advocated.

Abraham Hicks – Go General Meaning

Ever feel like you’re trying too hard to make things happen? Like you’re pushing and pushing, but nothing’s budging?

Abraham Hicks has a cool trick for that: “Go General.”But what the heck does that mean? Imagine you’re paddling down a river.

You’ve got a specific destination in mind, right? But the current’s strong, and you’re fighting it hard. That’s like being too specific with your goals or desires.

Now, picture easing up on the paddle. Just go with the flow for a bit. That’s “going general.” It’s about relaxing your grip on the details.

Why does this matter?

When you’re too focused on specifics, you might miss out on better opportunities. You’re so locked in on one path, you can’t see the shortcuts or scenic routes.

Going general opens you up to possibilities you hadn’t even considered. It’s like telling the universe, “Hey, I’m open to good stuff. Surprise me.”

This approach can actually lead to more specific, awesome outcomes. But here’s the kicker: it’s not about being vague or wishy-washy.

It’s about setting a general direction and trusting the process. It is like ordering “something chocolate” for dessert instead of a specific cake.

You might end up with an even better treat than you had in mind. So, next time you’re feeling stuck or stressed about a goal?

Try going general. Loosen up those expectations a bit. You might just find yourself flowing towards something even better than you imagined

Abraham Hicks – When to go General & When to be Specific?

According to the teachings of Abraham Hicks, the guidance on when to go general or be specific is rooted in the idea of emotional guidance.

The central concept is that emotions indicate one’s vibrational alignment with one’s desires. Here’s a general guideline:

1. Go General when feeling negative emotions:
   • If you feel negative emotions such as frustration, anger, or disappointment, it is recommended that you go general in your thoughts.
     
     
   • Instead of focusing on the specific problem or issue causing negative emotions, focus on more general and positive aspects of your life.
     
     
   • This helps raise your overall vibration and move away from the lower vibrational states associated with negative emotions.
     
     
2. Be Specific when feeling positive emotions:
   • Being more specific in your thoughts and intentions is beneficial when you are positive emotionally.
     
     
   • Focus on what you want to manifest or experience, as the positive emotions indicate alignment with your desires.
     
     
   • Being specific helps you clarify your intentions and allows the Law of Attraction to work more effectively in bringing your desires into reality.

The key is to pay attention to your emotions as an indicator of your vibrational alignment. If you’re feeling good, you’re in a state of alignment, and being specific can help amplify that alignment.

Going general can help shift your focus and improve your overall vibrational state if you’re feeling negative emotions.

Remember that these guidelines are based on the teachings of Abraham Hicks and the Law of Attraction, and individual experiences may vary. It’s essential to find an approach that resonates with you.

When to Go General & When to Be Specific Dialogue

Questioner: I have intended this for weeks to be the first (to talk to Abraham), so I appreciate this confirmation.

I know not to ask “out of the vortex” questions, so that doesn’t matter, so I guess I wanted some clarification.

Because I used to think that I needed to – when fear came up – I needed to use the emotional guidance scale and get rid of it, and then recently, I heard you say that it’s not your job to clean up your issues it’s your job to ignore your problems.

Could you speak more about that?

Abraham: We were talking about that human tendency to want to get to the bottom of something, and you must have noticed – there’s no bottom.

Because when you focus on what you don’t want, the law of attraction says, “here’s more, here’s more, have more, have more, have more,” and so the more you focus upon what you don’t want, the more you split your energy, and the more you lock into those grids that aren’t your central grid.

And so it’s a beautiful realization to come to that, and we appreciated your introduction of the word intended; we’ve been talking a lot about segment intending.

Because we’re just going to give something to you straight out, your question is really asking for it, so you’ll hear it so quickly.

The best deliberate creating is done in advance, not after the fact.

In other words, by intending or what we have called pre-paving – out there where the air is clearer, you can get the momentum going that sets things in motion, but if you wait until you’ve got something that you don’t want.

Then you try to get rid of that – you get more invested in it than you do, letting go of it.

And so, rather than having a knee-jerk response to things – it’s like “not segment intending.” “blundering” is a strong and appropriate word – blundering unconsciously into your day.

It’s much more difficult when you stumble, let whatever come, and then get off on a reactionary stance. It’s so difficult that we’ve been saying – and this may be what you’re referring to – “just ride it out” when something goes wrong.

Just accept the momentum of it and ride it out, and take a nap as soon as possible, meditate as soon as possible, or take a walk or run as soon as possible.

In other words – don’t try to deal with it. Have you ever tried to clean up an argument with someone?

It’s not even possible because they’re all smarter than you are, or they think they are. And so just let it go, just let it go, but prepare for the next in advance.

So here’s a piece of understanding that we have not defined this clearly before; your question really asks for it in a strong way – you’re going to like this.

So you understand the concept of the grid and make sense that I’ve got this vibrational basis, and when I step into my full power, everything goes better.

So here I am feeling good, thinking about something that’s way out there.

Maybe the birth of babies that haven’t even been conceived yet, a relationship I haven’t met the person yet, or a business that I will have someday that I have not established yet or prepared for.

Something way out there in my future.

Well, the further out there it is, the more it behooves you to be general about it because when you try to be specific about something that you don’t have information about – you get frustrated, and it makes you feel you are lacking.

So the more general you are, such as how it will be great. I’m going to live happily ever after – I’m looking for things to fall into place.

I know I’ll know when I see it. I don’t have to figure it out right now – things always work out for me. I’ll know what to do when the time is right. I’ll be guided every step along the way.

Those general statements allow your energy to be clear, and all that is necessary for you to get everything that’s in your vortex or to achieve a grid that provides everything in your vortex to flow in the perfect timing and sequence – all that’s required for that is that you keep a smooth energy pattern going on.

That’s the power of meditation. Meditation takes you to the most general of pure vibration.

When you meditate, you stop thinking; when you stop thinking, you stop resistance; when there’s no resistance, everything can flow into your experience, you see. (A powerful force for manifesting what you desire).

So, the further out there it is, the more general you are. But let’s say you’re sitting here in this room – you know you want to be in the chair. You already defined that you want to be the first in the chair.

Now, it’s time to get specific about it.

In other words – something less general, something more specific, such as,

“I really think it will be fun to be in that chair, I really like the idea of having a dialogue with Abraham, I really like the idea of having a conscious dialogue where we are exchanging communication – where we are getting on the same vibrational wavelength and taking thought beyond that which it had been before.”

A much more specific conversation. For example, when you get into your automobile to drive somewhere, be present. Get real specific.

I’m going to put my hands on the steering wheel, and I’m going to pay attention to what I’m doing; I’m going to enjoy this moment; I’m going to engage consciously with other drivers; I’m going to have a sense of what others are doing on the road.

I will be at one with my vehicle, and I will have everything in my vicinity in my awareness of whether I’m using my physical senses. You use your hearing much more in driving than you realize

I’m going to use my physical senses – I’m going to use my eyes and ears – I’m going to be at one with my vehicle, but I’m going to sense intuitively what other drivers around me are doing.

That’s a particular conversation you’re having with yourself, and because you’re just about to get into your vehicle – it’s good to be specific.

You don’t want to be in that general sense, “Whatever will be – will be things just work out for me; I think I’ll take a nap while I Drive up to Stanford.”
