Hey everyones heard the fake till you make it quote but is it really beneficial to lie to people that you have achieved something already(people who dont effect your life) to kind of affirm it to yourself? Or is it a bad idea and messes up vibration im not sure.

**Marc**

Abraham has said that "fake it till you make it" isn't helpful because LOA isn't responding to your words or even your actions, it's responding to your vibration. If you're feeling very bad about money and you pretend that you've got billions of dollars, it doesn't help you UNLESS it allows you to feel better. If it helps you feel better, go with it. But they've really been making it a point that affirming from outside the Vortex doesn't help at all.

I think, their attitude to the "fake it 'til you make it" idea is a bit split. And I think it has a lot to do with your own thoughts about the matter.

If you fake it out of the knowledge that it is a sure thing and that it will come in any case, it is beneficial and exactly what they recommend (you have to be it first, then life will follow suit).

But if you feel like faking it, if it feels like a scam to you, then it is detrimental, since the vibration you send out is one of "I don't have it yet and perhaps it will never come, so I just fake it now". This doesn't move anything in the direction of what you want and does not lead you to the desired outcome.

It all depends on how you feel.

If you feel good acting rich while you're not, then fine. If it makes you feel guilty or impatient or fearful, then don't go forward. Listen to how it makes you feel.

Very often, letting go does the "trick". That's about the opposite of "faking" it, but it at least stops us from struggling. Faking it without feeling it is struggle. You have to believe in your own story.

I think the faking is a really good tool to recognize where you are in comparison to your desire. If it feels off, you still have a wide gap, if it feels natural and wonderful, you're nearly there.

" Get in the Vortex and then...."

What about the "I'm going to have my picture taken with the Prime Minister" story?

**zayed**

to lie to people .

truth or lie is in the vibration.

If you think it is true, then it is true.

If you think it is a lie, then it is a lie.

What about the "I'm going to have my picture taken with the Prime Minister" story?

Jerry had his expectation/belief in alignment with his desire. No resistance = swift manifestation!

I forget which workshop it is, but it was a funny moment when Abraham told the person in the hot seat, "we want you to tell a fib." Unfortunately, can't find my notes to see what specific workshop that was in, but from what i remember in the video, get in the vortex and start telling a new story, even if its a fib. :D

Allowing is- for me- really ALWAYS about "fake", or at least you could call it so. Whenever we are visioning, and not "documenting" the physical now-reality, we are playing with something that is not "there" yet and you COULD call this fake.

For me the "fake it" works perfect when I translate it to "play with the vibrational reality, not yet backed up by "reality"". This works wonderfully, indeed, it is what Abe teaches all the time.

If you translate fake into "lying, offering a vibe that you don´t believe in" I´m pretty sure that the issue will backfire pretty soon- or you are a talented con man. What could be possile, and than it is a special game that can be played, indeed, masterfully.

I have to echo what has already been written. Personally I think "Lie" would feel bad to me because my IB knows I dont need to do so in order to gain support or succeed. It would not serve a purpose to me. I simply have no need to lie to anyone.

Trying to change my vibration through a fictional representation of myself is directly counter to the idea that source sees me as perfect just as I am.

But "fake it till you make it" - absolutely! But I see this as mostly repeating a new story to myself until I understand the story and my vibration on the subject changes. This is really useful to me in all kinds of situations. I am currently looking for a job and my "reality" tells me I am not a great candidate. BUT - in "faking" my view of myself as successful (telling myself a new story), I have been very successful at changing my vibration and learning to see the old story as really a story full false premises. This is not the same as lying to myself but more along the lines of reprogramming. But it would not work to change my vibration for the better if I really was lying to myself.

So, how can I tell if she's faking it? :laugh::laugh:...I crack myself up! :laugh:

**PrimeMover**

Somewhere Abe says "Act as if....." I made the saying the screensaver on my phone.

**Dude**

Feel it until you real it!

**AmberLovesAbraham**

Feel it until you real it!

Good One!!! What I feel becomes real.....and I feel ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!

**paradise-on-earth**

Good One!!! What I feel becomes real.....and I feel ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!

So... if what you feel will become reality... :blink: :chin: ...you are now (in physical reality) dead?

:laugh: But that could be good, when Abe is "as dead as it gets"... -sorry, I´m soo silly today! And I feel ALIVE, toooooo!!! :singer: :hearts: without ANY fake... :laugh:
