I talk about how I was really excited to hear and understand the information that Esther Hicks - Abraham discussed in their video "The Vortex".  At one point, Abraham is answering a question from an audience member about whether it's advisable to go back to the earliest memories of trauma and remove them from the root.  Abraham discussed how this was a terrible idea that would only serve to keep someone stuck and magnify that low vibration.  Abraham said that if that low frequency was still active in one's life, it would show up in more recent experiences, because everything IS vibration.  The energetic pattern is the same whether it's from our past or our present, so we only need to react differently and change the energy of a recent experience and it will change the pattern all the way back in time.  Abraham then said that we are NOT containers holding all these different traumatic experiences and vibrations.  We don't accumulate and save all these energies.  Simply put, we are transmitters and receivers.  Everything in our life is energy that only exists right NOW.  There is no past and no future with energy.  So our only recourse to change our vibration is to change it at THIS moment.  If we feel badly or experience something crummy or negative, we need to choose a higher frequency feeling to change things.  We don't have to zoom up the emotional frequency scale unless we want to -- just ascending a rung or two higher is enough to positively change our energy and start to eradicate the trauma and negative influences.  Every change comes out of the present moment.
