I have a story to share that I chose to stop and contemplate rather than share right away. This story I have been "sitting on" for months is about how I was contacted by either a M/B/S/C or a single entity in an attempt to wake me up approximately August 2009.
At the time, I was working for a computer rental company (which shall remain nameless) here in Arizona. I had a very special "gig" to set up and also to run the A/V during the show, which was completely new to me. I was supposed to get to the hotel convention center to set up early morning, and I did arrive on time, but the place was locked up and it wasn't until 30 - 60 mins later until I started setting up, which ended up making the start of the show late because I was so far behind and because it was only me setting up for it.
The show proceeded to be a complete embarrassing disaster for myself, as I was instructed to pull up certain things on the show laptop which was projected for the audience and speaker to see. I had to use the backup laptop as the main show laptop wasn't functioning properly. To make matters worse, I was so busy up in my head worrying about how poorly the show was going and all the various people who had yelled at me by that point, I also zoned out every once in awhile when the speaker asked me to change the slide / control the laptop. So the speaker would have to give me a second nudge which would make the entire audience focus on me.
Now, here is the part some might find odd: I don't remember a single thing (directly, anyways) about the speaker or what information was presented. I have tried to remember, believe me, but I block out extremely unpleasant memories. I have yet to retrieve any of the most traumatic ones, which apparently this was one of them.
Long story short, the show ended, I got yelled at by my boss and the guy who was supposed to be responsible for the show that farmed it out to the company / me as the person responsible for the gig.
Here's where the story gets amazing / positive (at least in hindsight): my boss called me into his office within a day or 2 of this happening (I thought maybe to fire me at the time). He then starts looking really, really uncomfortable / awkward, which was really out of place in his dealings with me. He asked me if I payed attention to the seminar at all and if I found it interesting(which confused the f*** out of me immediately). I told him I had no clue what happened, but vaguely remembered the speaker talking about a vortex over and over again and that I had blocked out the rest because I was so miserable at the time.
He then asks me if I had heard of something called "Abraham" (which I much later on found out was "Abraham Hicks"), and that he thought I should check it out. Now at the time, as the title of this thread states, I was a die-hard atheist. I was confused by this and inquired further why the hell he thought I should do this out of the blue. I immediately turned my logical mind for motivation for why he would ask me to do this out of the blue especially after fucking up the last gig so badly. I couldn't find a single thing to motivate him, so I asked him about it from different angles until he finally admitted he "got an impression in meditation"(!!). I immediately thought he was coming at me from a religious angle, as he seemed to be a die-hard christian; and I voiced this concern, telling him I thought he knew I wasn't religious or interested in this type of thing. He then got defensive and told me it had nothing to do with his religion, and that he was sorry he mentioned it (I could see his mind picturing me suing him for bringing up religion to an employee).
I immediately apologized and said that I found this to be extremely interesting overall since nobody had ever said anything like this to me in my entire life and that I would check it out. A google search yielded www.abraham-hicks.com. I went on the website, watched 2 or 3 videos from abraham, which featured one of the videos where abraham goes on and on about "staying inside the vortex" (this is the only one I can remember clearly). I was extremely confused by this and did not like it one bit at the time, and wrote it off as "religious wacko BS". I then came back to my boss with it and said I didn't like it and was really confused. He said to forget about the whole thing and he should have never brought it up, and that he did his part "relaying the message".
Smash cut to only a few months ago: I am hungrily looking for new channeled material after burning through the Ra Material as well as Bashar's work very quickly. I had completely forgotten about the memory, but then seeing a thread here in the forums about "Abraham Hicks" slowly dredged up the lost memory. I then revisited the material, which I realized why I didn't like it at the time; If it had been Bashar or some other some other channel I may have "converted" much sooner into the person I am now. But alas, hindsight is 20/20 and the Abraham Hicks material just didn't resonate with me nearly as deeply as Ra / Q'uo or Bashar.
To make matters even more difficult, I had no confirmation from another person about this memory. I first asked my wife if she remembered anything about this, and she gave me the "WTF are you talking about?". A month or two after this, I finally got up the nerve to email my old boss about this to confirm it. To my dismay: he didn't remember ANYTHING about it and that I must have imagined the whole thing (he did remember the "gig gone wrong", though, but wouldn't give me any more details on that or even mention it). Or at least thats what I told me, I know he has no qualms about lying to someone if he thinks it protects his company. Either that or he simply selectively forgot about it just like I did at the time.
This lead me to question the whole memory being fabricated. But after contemplating the situation for some months now, I know now in my heart and logically I didn't make it up (since I knew some scattered details about the Abraham Hicks channeling before I could have possibly known about them unless my story was true). This realization was just the right confirmation of my beliefs at the time and still to this day. I was also taken aback by this, which further delayed sharing my story with all of you.
Anyways... Cheers.
