intensify desire,intensify obstacles
well,i was peeking at one of my favorite books,the alchemy of opposites by rodolfo scarfalloto,and saw i looked for him on the net. found out he has a page within the concioussingles site. and so i was browsing through their sitemap at other things i thought might be of interest,and i found a link to the 'abraham' page. abraham is one of those entities that is channelled. i'm skeptical about a lot of channelled stuff,but ultimately the proof is in the pudding. if what i'm reading seems intuitively right,i don't worry so much about the source.
anyway,one of my constant questions is why when i try to be grateful and look at the positive,i get slammed with the negative. i have found one mention about it in the lazy mans' guide to enlightenment,but this is the second offered answer to that question...
(and thanks to fearless dreamer for posting the abcs of conciousness on her diary and reminding me of the beauty of asking questions!)

Sometimes we see you moving through your day-to-day experience, and you can tell that you have a limiting belief, or at least you can tell that something is screwy within you because you can feel the strong negative emotion that is within you. It often comes forth right after you have clearly identified that you want something. When you clearly identify that you want something, when you heighten the focus of some desire and the Energy begins to move more quickly -- the limiting Energy becomes more evident. Should I Lower My Desires?
It's sort of like if you drive your car at 100 mph through a forest of trees, the trees are more apparent to you. They are more hindering to you than if you are driving your car through a forest of trees at 5 mph. At 5 mph, you feel you have more discretion to pick your way through them. But at 100 mph, you're crashing into a lot of trees. So the more deliberately you are focused, the faster your Energy is moving. And the faster your Energy is moving, the more important it is for you to release those limiting beliefs. Otherwise you sort of have a rocky ride.
Often, once you become aware that you're having the rocky ride you, almost without exception, begin to slow down your car. You begin to slow down your desire, and it gives you some temporary relief. When you say, "Oh, never mind, I don't really want that," your angst goes away because you slow the Energy deliberately. And so, the contradictory feeling is not so hindering or so apparent or so uncomfortable, or so noticeable. But we want to say to you, this is really going about it the hard way. And the reason that we know this so powerfully, and that we want to speak it to you so emphatically, is because the entire Universe has been established to produce the contrast that will constantly give birth to newer, fresher, more leading edge desire within you. And deciding that you will then go against all of the Universe, and keep yourself in a place of not letting yourself focus the desires that are born naturally within you, is a lifelong challenge. You have to work very hard at talking yourself out of the things that you were born to conclude.
