Since the late 1980’s I’ve loved Abraham-Hicks. I was introduced to their material by my friend Sharon. She had received her Abraham recordings after attending a retreat. While driving back home, Sharon listened to Ester Hicks channeling Abraham in front of a live audience. She loaned me four Abraham cassette tapes and said, “Eddie, you will love this.”
And yes – I said, cassette tapes.
I listened to the recordings nonstop between three jobs. I memorized each cassette tape word-for-word. Especially recordings about manifesting money and the law of attraction. Abraham’s teachings resonated with me on a deep level.
In the 1990’s Ester-ham (as her audience calls her) began speaking about the 17-Second Rule. Which I believe is now called, The 17-to-68 Second Rule. Allow me to explain.
BUT FIRST, THIS
Abraham’s core teaching is, “Nothing is more important than that you feel good for the sake of feeling good.” Feeling good has astronomical leverage to it. Actually, feeling good for 17-seconds has out-of-this-world-power. Literally!
When we feel good for 17-seconds our electromagnetic field lights up. The atoms, cells and molecules in our body vibrate higher. At this point we automatically pull the unconditional energy of All That Is through us. The longer we hold feel-good-thoughts, the better our lives become. Abraham describes this phenomenon as, “being tuned in, tapped in and turned on the stream of pure, positive energy that creates worlds.”
Did you catch that?
Feeling good puts us in the, “…stream of pure, positive energy that creates worlds.”
When Abraham says you and I originated from the same energy that creates worlds – they are not kidding. At first glance, this seems impossible. Until you remember the human body is only .01% of what you are. Your body creates .01% of your life. In some ways it’s powerless. Especially when you don’t use your soul attributes with it.
The other 99.99.9% of who and what you are, is invisible. Nonphysical. The Soul. I think of it as your soul’s energy in action. This “soul energy” orchestrates your life through thoughts, feelings and frequencies. Your spiritual work is to purely attune your body, words and actions in perfect concert with your purest feeling frequencies. Instead of just taking physical action to accomplish a goal, consider taking inspired action. Here’s an example of using inspired (soul attributes) action (physical body). Simply stated,
Our bodies are .01% physical.
Our thoughts are 99.999% invisible
Our actions are .01% physical.
Our feelings are 99.999% invisible.
Add these together and we have .01% + 99.99.9% = 100%. When we consciously feel good, we automatically integrate our physical and nonphysical attributes together as one. That’s when miracles happen. Think of it this way. The longer we feel good, the higher our energy becomes. When we feel good, life works for us. Not against us. When we feel good the entire Universe is automatically at our beck and call.
THE 17-SECOND RULE
Now that you inner-stand your feelings have greater power than action, take a gander at how choosing to feel good for 17-seconds, on top of 17-seconds, on top of 17-seconds, on top of 17-seconds can miraculously change your life.
Abraham explains that when a human feels good for 17-seconds an explosion of unified consciousness happens to us on an celluar, molecular and atomic level. The moment we hit that first 17- second mark we are, at-one-with that pure, positive stream of consciousness. You know, the same stream that creates worlds?
Here’s the rub. The exact second you hit the full 17-second mark, you and the Universe are one and the same energy. There is no separation from you and All That Is.
But wait, there’s more.
For me, this was the most exciting aspect. Feeling good for 17 straight seconds is equivalent 2,000 human action hours worth of labor expended! Can you believe that!? The first time I heard this, I felt my soul slap me upside the head with a, “Snap out of it,” and a gentle kiss on my heart at the same time.
Here’s how it looks on the page.
ENERGETIC MULTIPLE ORGASMIC COMBUSTION POINTS
17 seconds of pure thought = 2,000 action hours worth of labor expended.
34 Seconds of pure thought = 20,000 action hours worth of labor expended.
51 Seconds of pure thought = 200,000 action hours worth of labor expended.
68 Seconds of pure thought = 2,000,000 action hours worth of labor expended.
You know how much I love sharing great teachings? Well, over the years I’ve posted Abraham’s 17-second rule and got a helluva lot of push back. “That’s not true,” someone yelled in all caps across my computer screen. And, “Where did you get this dis-information psychic boy?” One person threatened to report me to the social media police.
Honestly, I inner-stand why someone might feel put-off by the magnitude of this information. It sounds to good to be true. Especially if they don’t consciously play with energy the same way that you and I do. Instead of feeling defensive about the naysayers, I went for a walk, rearranged plants on my patio and flowed, flowed, flowed pure appreciative energy, then I let that shit go.
It’s a thing.
And what do you think happened next? A few days later a video landed in my inbox. Chills ran up my spine as I watched a Neuroscientist explaining how a person’s thoughts (both positive and negative) held for 17-seconds will manifest more-of-the-same-energetic-matches to it. Fannin explains how thoughts build upon themselves.
Earlier I shared the importance of feel good thoughts. Next, Jeffrey L Fannin, a Neuroscientist gives a great example of how negative thoughts create our lives. Here is the full quote.
“There’s a law in physics that basically says, that when you have energy that is vibrating at a particular frequency, within 17-seconds other energy like that will be attracted to it. So, if I’m having a positive thought or a negative thought, then what happens is that energy is attracted. I have other thoughts that are like that thought.
“So, if you do that for 17-seconds, 17-seconds, 17-seconds up to 68 seconds – then momentum begins to occur. So let’s say…our emotions have a frequency to them. So, if I’m in despair or anger or worry, all of those are lower, denser frequencies.
“You get down to things like contentment, happiness, joy and love. Those are higher, faster frequencies. So, let’s say that I normally live in contentment and that’s my set point. That’s where I live and think about all the time. That’s what my make-up is. That sort of thing.
“So, I’m driving down the highway. All of a sudden a car cuts me off and I get angry. So, now I’m in the lower, denser frequencies. And I go back into the office and I’m telling all my colleagues, here’s what happened. You know this knucklehead cut me off, then I go home and tell my wife that.
“What am I doing?
“I’m vibrating angry energy.
“So, I go to the supermarket and there is somebody in line. I have three items and I’m getting in line and somebody ahead of me has 38 items and the guy that’s running the cash register, it’s his first day and he’s not doing very well. He’s very slow.
“Is that a coincidence? No. It’s something for me to get angry about.
So I am attracting into my world whatever it is that I am vibrating. So where my thoughts are – that’s what is creating my reality.”

CHOOSE A BETTER FEELING THOUGHT
Again, I’ve implemented Abraham’s teachings since the mid 80’s. Before Abraham I was a great problem-solver and troubleshooter. And, boy could I shine in a crisis. What I didn’t know, BA “Before Abraham”, was that I kept attracting more problems, more trouble and more crisis to shine in. It was an eternal WTH loop.
Enter Abraham, “Nothing is more important than that you feel good. Keep choosing better-feeling thoughts until your new thought feels better than the one before it. And the one before it. And the one before it.” And that’s what I did.
When things felt like shit on a shingle, I chose better feeling thoughts.
When things felt like a million bucks, I chose better feeling thoughts.
And when I was passive or complacent, I chose better feeling thoughts.
I chose to feel good for the joy of feeling good because, well – it felt good! Which brings me to a huge realization.
This month is my 30-year anniversary of moving to Los Angeles. The life I’m living right now, today – is the life that I had visualized and dreamt of back in the day. Once learning that I created my own reality, I never stopped choosing better feeling thoughts.
Moving forward and from a place of love, may I suggest that you monitoring your thoughts? Check in with yourself to see how you’re feeling. Make it a habit to choose better feeling thoughts. Practice feeling good for the joy of feeling good. And, when you start feeling better and better because of it, take a daily inventory of how much happier you are today, than you were yesterday and the day before and the day before that.
And until we meet again beautiful Friend, remember to keep your thoughts, feelings and frequencies high, fast and pure so you can Unlock the Universe Within.
With Sincere Appreciation,
