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 Law

of Attraction and how resistance and allowing work in our individual creation process. I still dont have

all 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 its

resulting feeling that keeps you stuck in contrast. You can add to this list by asking others about their

thought/beliefs/truths. The more the merrier. :) I call this set the Resistance cards. You can design them

for all subjects, too

On a second set of cards you can write down any allowing thoughts/affirmations/positive mantras

that 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. These

cards I called the Allowing Cards

On a third set of cards I would write down all desires you have and can remember. In addition you

could mark them with - = not manifested and it matters a lot, + = it does not matter, * = signs are

abounding, 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, combine

the three stacks into flowcharts, pair resistance and allowing cards into opposites, create stepping stones

along 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 I

would call Love Cards.

Of course one can always add on and enrich the experience of playing with the cards. I would love

to 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 any

assistance, count me in !!

You asked for further ideas how to use this game or rules to play... here are my 2 cents: what about

using 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


4/25

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 to

my feeling/situation ..-. ) -> As far as I know ABE Tarot cards do already exist (no official version I

guess, discovered them by searching the internet).

I really like your idea, especially the structures you designed (resistance cards, love cards... and the

possibility 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 havent had the time to think about rules to play - ok, I also thought that youll get swamped

with ideas by other Abers so that there is no need to hurry for me *lol* ..

Ok, a first approach to game rules: ...

lets say, theres a party of six. Everybody may choose an issue card (money, for example). Eve-

rybody also has, lets say five blank resistance cards where they can fill-in their major beliefs they are

already aware of. (Im 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 for

another person of their choice. (You know, sometimes you can see other peoples issues much better

than they can for themselves. So this might be valuable for advanced Abe students ;-) Anyway, theother people card comes in later and is somewhat hidden from the others while the choosen cards are

visible for everybody. Then, each player introduces his/her belief and his major resistance(s) .. Now, the

fun 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/her

and everybody can jump in to discuss how to release that resistance. I think there should be someone

who takes some notes, so that in the end everybody has a personal, individual solution card, a result or

something like that. Same with love or quote cards. Its somehow amazing how useful the input or

interpretation of others is in respect to the own beliefs/issues. At least thats how our list works. Maybe

you 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 then

this 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 end

all the results of the players are compared and the winner is the Master of Fun ... There are soooo

many options popping into my mind now ;-) ... I mean, its easy to say ok, bubble baths are great - Ill

do that as soon as I have some time .. but its totally different if you have to write down exactly when

and how to really DO that bubble bath and show yourself that it IS possible no matter how swamped the

day may be.

In addition, you could think over making time limits, lets say - draw a wish card and list as many

reasons why you CAN have this (lover, ferrari, money ...) within 60 seconds.

Oh, what about FOCUS cards? If a player doesnt reach the goal (doesnt 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 which

is to concentrate and focus and imagine the most beautiful outcome of the issue in question - aloud and

in front of the group. And as soon as he gets distracted he starts from the beginning ;-) How cool is

that?

There is another: the what-if game. You could make up rules for a what-if card game which is

certainly easier to play with others than alone I guess. Ive practised that once with an Abe friend of

mine (we didnt use cards, just talked about it) and I got amazing results: two major manifestations in 4

weeks. Im sure you can easily do that with cards too. What if cards

How to set your game up

On the following pages Ive designed front and back sides for various cards for you to use and play

with. 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 to

the 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 it

mean 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 on

possible 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 same

group.

To make this more fun it may be an idea to use different coloured papers for the different cards and

use slightly thicker paper - whatever your printer can handle.

You can take Barbaras suggestions and/or mine, or make up your own rules for playing the

Abraham 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 or

more others.

Ok, now I caught your card bazillus *lol* . -But, Ulrike, I have to interrupt here - Im still in the

office and have to finish that stuff here to meet the deadline (and I am way too much behind - maybe I

should invent my very own focus cards on making deadlines more flexible ;-) Anyway, its a lot of fun to

invent games like that ... just let me know if my input was helpful in any way. And if you need more, no

problem ;-) ... -> 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 you

have when you think/say this.

Dont change anything now. Dont 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 when

you were still small and even though you thought it was crap what they said, you did not have the

arguments to counteract their truths. If two or more are playing encourage each other to voice even

more limiting thoughts. Write each on an extra little card together with their resulting feeling. Ask

around what limiting thoughts others may have with respect to money and its availability to them or to

all 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 characters

scripts.

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 Wishes and Desire Cards

On a next set of cards list every desire you have ever had, each on a card. You may also want to list

fulfilled desires. In addition to the item you can rate it with

- no sign of it yet

+ it does not matter - I forgot about it

* signs abound, the Universe is showing me that it is on its wayO it has manifested already

To play: As soon as you have a small stack of Desire Cards you start playing with them. You can

sort them into categories of subjects or manifesting stages

Combine the Allowance, Resistance and Desire Cards into stories of Creations.

Come up with your own creative games.

Add to the Desiree Cards as more rockets of desire launch from your contrasts.

The aim of the game: Have fun

Setting up the Allowing Cards

On another set of coloured cards start a list of allowing thoughts, affirmations and soothing

mantras. 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 of

feeling 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. You

can sort them into categories of subjects, feelings, and use them as character basis for sitcom characters

scripts.

Combine the Allowance and Resitance cards to form stepping stones along subject sticks or create

opposite 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

SUBJECT: Good Stuff

Good stuff happens to me

Dollars flow to me

Parking places flow to meEverything that Ive ever wanted flows to me

It happens to me and

It happens to me on a steady basis

DragonDancers 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 it

with 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 fit

in for you.

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

subject.

If you want to change the attitude towards the right you can DO the following:

From the Positive What Ifs 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 towardsthe right side.

Take it easy and have fun.
