If we are all One, does that mean I am required to like every single person?
QUESTION:
I’m feeling a bit confused. A quote from Abraham states: “The emotions you experience are always indicators of the Vibrational Harmony or Disharmony between the thoughts your human brain focuses on and what your broader Non-physical perspective thinks about it.” This leads me to wonder: if I find someone’s smell or general presence repulsive and I feel a sense of aversion, do these emotions suggest that my thinking is out of alignment—as if, because we are all One, my “non-physical essence” should find everything appealing? Or, if I am not enjoying someone’s company, is the problem simply a flaw in my own mindset that I need to overcome by forcing myself to be happy?
ANSWER from lee:
First of all, your Non-physical perspective sees everything and everyone through a different lens—as integral components of your own wholeness.
Secondly, your ego is constructed upon the concept of separation, which is why you tend to isolate feelings of “dislike” from the vast complexity of that separation.
These are two distinct vantage points, not an argument designed to convince you that “separation is a good thing.”
Abraham isn't telling you to make peace with the unpleasant, but rather that you should not allow your well-being to be dictated by external factors.
This is why he suggests shifting your focus away from the disagreeable, to avoid reinforcing that state of separation.
He proposes focusing instead on whatever brings you joy in this exact moment, allowing you to gain a different perspective from a PLACE OF JOY. From that point, external circumstances shift so that the unpleasantness is either transformed or simply exits your life entirely. This process requires no struggle on your part.
Conversely, if you persist in viewing things through the lens of separation and focusing on negative traits, you certainly won't be rid of them, and you will remain unable to grasp the Non-physical perspective.
Here is a simple analogy.
Imagine someone sitting on a mountaintop describing their view of the valley while you are standing in the valley seeing your own surroundings. You are first offered the realization that a different view exists from above. Crucially, the person on the mountain does not deny what you are seeing below. However, they aren't just describing their view; they are also pointing out the path that is visible only from their higher vantage point. Focusing on the pleasant is essentially listening to that guidance from above on how to navigate toward a more beautiful place.
