"Teaching" feels good (part deux!)

I posted an entry called "Teaching Feels Good" back in March at my zaadz blog.From the responses it got, it certainly seemed to resonate with people.I had a new post in mind, and it reminded my of the old post, so I've decided to call this one "Part deux" lol!
In fact this post is pretty much the same as the first one.However I seem to have even more clarity on this now, so I am expressing it here.

This new post arises from my contemplation on the question of: "Have I gone the long way round? or did I need to do it this way? And if I needed to, then why?"
Don't worry, I will explain all :)
For the past year and a half I have been studying the teachings of Abraham Hicks, who I consider to be the greatest teacher.A year and a half has passed, and only now am I really allowing myself to fully utilize these powerful teachings to create the life I choose in every way.Frustration has been my dominant thought recently, as I have asked myself "why has it taken this long before I am finally making the move to actually create what I want?"
You see Abraham Hicks teach about the "Law of Attraction" and how your thoughts create your reality.They also teach about the Emotional Scale and how depression is very far from bliss, and that anger is an improvement from fear, etc.Abrahams teachings are really for everybody, because they cover such a wide spectrum, giving different processes to practise based on where we are on the emotional scale.

Now looking back I think to myself that I made too much of it, studied their teachings too much.You see I'm a naturally very buoyant person.Of course I can feel depression, and have done, even recently it can strike out of the blue.But it always passes very quickly, as I find that I don't have the strength or can be bothered to keep myself down for too long, lol! And I'll rant and rave when something pees me off, but I'm always laughing along with that too, ie: no real damage is caused.So yeah, virtually all of the time I'm right up there, feeling my natural state of joy.
Since studying Abrahams teachings (and probably before too) I have come into contact with several teachers who also teach about the Law of Attraction and how our thoughts create our reality.
Books such as Wallace D. Wattles "The Science of Getting Rich" and films such as "The Secret" are a couple of examples.I've also heard from individual teachers such as "Michael Losier" whose straight to the point and clear style I really appreciated when listening to him.
When listening to Losier, I would think to myself "This guys cool.He tells us to think about what we do want, and stay focued there.Such a simple style.No going on about emotional scales too much, or depression to fear and all that business."
And when watching the film "The Secret" it didn't really go on about the emotional scale too much.Instead it told us how we get what we focus on, ie: Law of Attraction.
This all resonated with me so much, and it felt so much easier and lighter than Abraham Hicks' style of covering every angle.Films like "The Secret" and people like "Michael Losier" really catered for my need to just know what to do, knowing that I am naturally buoyant anyway, so don't need to get from depression to fear and all that business.

However, having said all that, Abraham Hicks is the one teacher I have always stayed with, and the rest no longer really grab my attention that much, if ever.What I have found is that Abraham certainly does cater for buoyant people, who feel good most of the time.For example, one of their processes is called the "Magical creation box" whereby one just puts pictures of things one desires into a box and then focuses only on that, thus attracting that to them.How simple is that! As simple as the teachings in "The Secret" and Michael Losiers " focus on what you DO! want!"
I could have just stayed there, and attracted what I wanted straight away.A year ago I could have been reaping the benefits.But I didn't, I studied everything about Abraham's teachings.Why? Well because it was there! and so I thought and felt that I should!
Abraham goes beyond just putting things into a magical creation box, or teaching appreciation.They do this because they cater for everyone, because they know that their are some people who are held so far below the surface, who aren't buoyant, and they cannot feel appreciation for anything much.Or people who are in such despairing situations that it would never be enough for them to simply put pictures into a "magical creation box" and then say "there now, that's all sorted!"
As I read more and more into Abrahams teachings, reading processes like "which thought feels better?" and also hearing them talk about how moving from anger into frustration is an improvement, I wondered to myself "do I really need to hear all this? It all seems a bit too much.All these processes and moving up the Emotional Scale.I seem to be drowning in all of this, almost like gasping for air, for relief".

Recently this has been building within me more and more, this very strong desire to understand why I was Attracted to Abraham Hicks and not just to people like Michael Losier or many many other Law of Attraction teachers out there.
Why would a buoyant person such that I am spend so much time concerning myself with understanding processes designed for people who are depressed, or realising that anger is a step up from depression.The answer came to me last night, and reminded me once again of my blog post back in March.It's because:

"Teaching feels good! It really does!"


Contemplating this more, I wondered to myself: "what if I had just known about Law of Attraction? and what if I didn't know about the Emotional Scale and the call of source and everything else Abraham goes into.What would that have been like?"
Well I imagined what I would be like if that were the case.I'd go around getting everything I wanted, because I would know that Law of Attraction gets me everything I want.I focus on what I do want, and being my usual buoyant self, all that needing to feel good to allow ones desires in would be a done deal.
However, imagine what I would become like if only that were the case.For example, I would inevitably come across other people who weren't as naturally buoyant as I am, and I imagine that I would probably have been very impatient with them if they were depressed or frustrated.I'd say things to others like "oh cheer up for pity sake.Don't you know that all you have to do is have pure positive thought to get everything you could ever want".
Now of course having pure positive thought is a good place to be, but for some people that place is impossible to get to straight away from where they currently are.So I can imagine that I would end up upsetting quite a few people with my unsympathetic attitude.

You see, it's all totally selfish!

What I have come to fully realize, and what I was starting to realize in my previous "teaching feels good" post, is that I am just covering my back here, so that I can live a full life as a masterful creator.So in fact where I asked myself previously in this post: ""Have I gone the long way round? or did I need to do it this way? And if I needed to, then why?"
The answer to that is that I haven't really gone the long way round, because all of those teachings, understanding that others may be in different places to me, and knowing how to "react" to others, all of that is of total benefit to me! That time of studying has been of great benefit.
Instead of telling others to simply "cheer up" and thus getting a bad reaction from them, and therefore bringing discontent into my experience.Instead of that, I now know how to handle other people so that they do not interfere with me being me, and I now realize how to help guide them into a better feeling place, to allow them to move through anger and into frustration and onwards.For that reason, and this may be perceived as being conceited (so what!, lol), but for that reason I am exceptionally beneficial to those around me, to all who I meet.And in fact all the evidence from my experience has actually shown that I am only a benefit to those who I've met.
But, and I must come back to this, this is all to my benefit, it's all ultimately selfish.Earlier I mentioned the word "react".And that's how one teaches others, by their reaction to them.It's not about being a martyr devoting ones life to seeking out others and then helping them.It's not about attaching lead weights to the balloon and then unattaching them.It's about knowing how to release those weights when they attach themselves to your balloon.That's why Abraham Hicks says that: "you've got to let Law of Attraction bring your students to you".If you've got no lead weighing down your balloon, then there is no need to react to lead on the balloon is their! But like I said, because we live in a diverse Universe, inevitably lead will attach itself to your balloon.So you've got to react sympathetically in order to remove the lead and allow yourself to continue to soar.
All the teachers, the real teachers, are in fact just reacting to others in the best way that serves themselves.We just know that as "teaching".

And reacting to others in the best way possible (that which others perceive as somebody "teaching") feels good!

Cheers!
