About a new Game

In July 2004 I posted the following message to the Abraham-Hicks List at YahooGroups:

I stumbled on a new game which could assist us in getting more clarity and awareness about Lawof Attraction and how resistance and allowing work in our individual creation process. I still don’t haveall the ins and outs of the rules and how to play but the concept is this:

Take lots of cards between 3"x5" and 5"x8" app. best in three or more different colours.

Now in relation to any ornery subject write down one on each card the thought/belief/truth and itsresulting feeling that keeps you stuck in contrast. You can add to this list by asking others about theirthought/beliefs/truths. The more the merrier. :) I call this set the Resistance cards. You can design themfor all subjects, too

On a second set of cards you can write down any allowing thoughts/affirmations/positive mantrasthat you can find. There are lots in the AbeQuotes. You can use the list I provided on the downloadpage. With each also write down the feeling this could generate if it where to be true for you. Thesecards I called the Allowing Cards

On a third set of cards I would write down all desires you have and can remember. In addition youcould mark them with - = not manifested and it matters a lot, + = it does not matter, * = signs areabounding, manifestation must be near, O= manifested. This set I called Desire Cards.

Now you could start to sort the cards into lots by subjects, themes, feelings, categories, combinethe three stacks into flowcharts, pair resistance and allowing cards into opposites, create stepping stonesalong the range of feelings and generally become much more aware of which thoughts are most prevail-ing and which thoughts might be more serving to find better feeling places.

Another set of cards could be used for Appreciations - of self and others and nature and things.These could be used for good memory touchstones and could be enhanced with pictures. These cards Iwould call Love Cards.

Of course one can always add on and enrich the experience of playing with the cards. I would loveto hear if any of you have ideas for ‘rules to play’.

Designing this game has provided me with hours of joy today

To which Barbara replied as follows:

First of all, I think your idea with the Allowing Card Game is just amazing and if you need anyassistance, count me in !!

You asked for further ideas how to use this game or rules to play... here are my 2 cents: what aboutusing them like tarot cards in the sense of the players draw a resistance card first and let their subcon-sciousness choose the solutions, for example. Something like that. (I experimented a lot with different

4

cards / tarots and stuff like that in the past and for me, it really works, which means, my subconscious-ness or inner being or whoever does a really great job in letting me choose the card as a perfect match tomy feeling/situation ..-. ) -> As far as I know ABE Tarot cards do already exist (no official version Iguess, discovered them by searching the internet).

I really like your idea, especially the structures you designed (resistance cards, love cards... and thepossibility for various subjects ...) So it might be also a good idea just to frame the topics, do layoutsetc. and leave blanks for everybody to fill in with individual stuff.

I still haven’t had the time to think about rules to play - ok, I also thought that you’ll get swampedwith ideas by other Abers so that there is no need to hurry for me *lol* ..

Ok, a first approach to game rules: ...let’s say, there’s a party of six. Everybody may choose an “issue card” (money, for example). Eve-

rybody also has, let’s say five blank resistance cards where they can fill-in their major beliefs they arealready aware of. (I’m not worthy, rich people are bad ... whatever comes up).

Option: to make it more fun we could also say that everybody has to choose an issue card foranother person of their choice. (You know, sometimes you can “see” other people’s issues much betterthan they can for themselves. So this might be valuable for advanced Abe students ;-) Anyway, the“other people card” comes in later and is somewhat hidden from the others while the choosen cards arevisible for everybody. Then, each player introduces his/her belief and his major resistance(s) .. Now, thefun part begins. On the table are card decks with your love cards, fun cards, resistance cards, Abe-Quote-Cards, Wish Cards ... (whatever you already proposed and whatever might be useful...). Every-body has to draw another resistance card and can check whether or not this card resonates with him/herand everybody can jump in to discuss how to release that resistance. I think there should be someonewho takes some notes, so that in the end everybody has a personal, individual “solution card”, a result orsomething like that. Same with love or quote cards. It’s somehow amazing how useful the input orinterpretation of others is in respect to the own beliefs/issues. At least that’s how our list works. Maybeyou can transfer that effect to the game too.

And, if somebody is in turn to draw a fun card where it says for example “take a bubble bath” thenthis person might have to fill out a form where he/she could integrate this fun example in his/her life.Here, the goal might be to find as many opportunities a day/week or so where it can be done. (In the endall the results of the players are compared and the winner is the “Master of Fun” ... There are soooomany options popping into my mind now ;-) ... I mean, it’s easy to say “ok, bubble baths are great - I’lldo that as soon as I have some time ..” but it’s totally different if you have to write down exactly whenand how to really DO that bubble bath and show yourself that it IS possible no matter how swamped theday may be.

In addition, you could think over making time limits, let’s say - draw a wish card and list as manyreasons why you CAN have this (lover, ferrari, money ...) within 60 seconds.

Oh, what about FOCUS cards? If a player doesn’t reach the goal (doesn’t get at least 5 reasonswhy ..etc. see above) then he as to draw a “focus card”. Now he has to do the 68 - seconds -game whichis to concentrate and focus and imagine the most beautiful outcome of the issue in question - aloud andin front of the group. And as soon as he gets distracted he starts from the beginning ;-) How cool isthat?

There is another: the what-if game. You could make up rules for a “what-if card game” which iscertainly easier to play with others than alone I guess. I’ve practised that once with an Abe friend ofmine (we didn’t use cards, just talked about it) and I got amazing results: two major manifestations in 4weeks. I’m sure you can easily do that with cards too. “What if cards”

How to set your game up

On the following pages I’ve designed front and back sides for various cards for you to use and playwith. These are only guidelines and for the creatively challenged.

If you are looking for feel good thoughts you can to put on the ALlowing Cards you can refer tothe Feel Good Thoughts pdf document on the downloads page of abraham-hicks.net

To find resistance thoughts it may be useful to also apply the CURE technique as proposed by Pauland Laynne Cutright. This helps to go to the personal core thought with ease.

Basically you keep on asking on the answers you get from this question ‘If this is so, what does itmean about me?’

The Love and Appreciation cards allow you to paste little pictures on or draw

Enjoy putting uplifting quotes on the Abe Quotes and Special Quotes cards.

On the last two pages of this document you find a couple of lists. One is for feelings. Another is onpossible subjects to play with.

About the Cards sheets:I suggest that you print a couple of each page. They are designed so that if you print one page on

the front and the back of a piece of paper and cut them apart you will have eight cards of the samegroup.

To make this more fun it may be an idea to use different coloured papers for the different cards anduse slightly thicker paper - whatever your printer can handle.

You can take Barbara’s suggestions and/or mine, or make up your own rules for playing theAbraham Deliberate Creation and Art of Allowance Cards.

I would love to get your feedback on how you had lots of fun playing on your own or with one ormore others.

UlrikeDragonDancerfrom Namibia - somewhere in [email protected]

Ok, now I caught your “card bazillus” *lol* . -But, Ulrike, I have to interrupt here - I’m still in theoffice and have to finish that stuff here to meet the deadline (and I am way too much behind - maybe Ishould invent my very own focus cards on making deadlines more flexible ;-) Anyway, it’s a lot of fun toinvent games like that ... just let me know if my input was helpful in any way. And if you need more, noproblem ;-) ... -> Just have to kill the deadlines first, alright?

Have fun and keep on rockin’ Barbara

Setting up the Resistance Cards

When you hear ‘The World is awash with money’ what thoughts come up for you that tell a differ-ent truth about you and the river of money?

As you write down these thoughts/truths/beliefs about scarecity also make a note of the feeling youhave when you think/say this.

Don’t change anything now. Don’t look for the bettter feeling thoughts. Look for the worst andmost limiting thoughts you can think of. Remember the stuff your parents and other people said whenyou were still small and even though you thought it was crap what they said, you did not have thearguments to counteract their truths. If two or more are playing encourage each other to voice evenmore limiting thoughts. Write each on an extra little card together with their resulting feeling. Askaround what limiting thoughts others may have with respect to money and its availability to them or toall and add these to your stack of Resistance Cards.

Do the same for any other icky and hornery subject.

To play: As soon as you have a small stack of Resistance Cards you start playing with them. Youcan sort them into categories of subjects, feelings, and use them as character basis for sitcom charactersscripts.

Add to the Resistance Cards as more thoughts resulting in ‘bad’ feelings come to your awareness.

The aim of the game: Become more aware of the actual thoughts and your personal types of resist-ance that you use as excuse to not allow your wellbeing

Setting up the Allowing Cards

On another set of coloured cards start a list of allowing thoughts, affirmations and soothingmantras. There are lots to download in the good thoughts and focus wheel pdf file from abraham-hicks.net and search the Abraham-Hicks List archives. On each card also make a note of what type offeeling this thought would evoke if it was true for you.

To play: As soon as you have a small stack of Allowance Cards you start playing with them. Youcan sort them into categories of subjects, feelings, and use them as character basis for sitcom charactersscripts.

Combine the Allowance and Resitance cards to form stepping stones along subject sticks or createopposite pairs and determine the degree of difference. Come up with your own creative games.

Add to the Allowance Cards as more thoughts resulting in ‘good’ feelings come to your awareness.

The aim of the game: Increase your vocabulary of ‘better feeling thoughts’

DragonDancer’s Attitude Meter

For the fun of it I designed this Attitude Meter for the players of the Allowing Card Game.

To set up: Print the next page and past it onto a piece of cardboard. Cut the Arrow out and fasten itwith a pin with the round end to the middle of the Meter.

No, to play: Put any subject card on the lower half of the meter.Select Resistance cards and feel-ings for the left side of the meter and arrange around it where they fit in for you.

Select Allowing cards with relevant feelings and arrange around right side of meter where they fitin for you.

Move the point of the arrow to the attitude which is currently predominant for you about thissubject.

If you want to change the attitude towards the right you can ‘DO’ the following:From the Positive What If’s selct one or two cards that would move the arrow one step towards

the right side.From the Fun and Favourites cards select one or two that would move the arrow one step towards

the right side.

Take it easy and have fun.
