Practical Spirituality

FOUNDAMENTS OF THE TEACHINGS OF ABRAHAM-HICKS:
THE LAW OF ATTRACTION, THE LAW OF ALLOWING, THE LAW OF DELIBERATE CREATION

Abraham, a group of entities channeled by a radiant woman named Esther Hicks, for about ten or so years, offers teachings that absolutely harmonize with every morsel of Truth with which I have ever resonated in over 20 years of metaphysical study. And I am not alone in my response to the teachings of Abraham. An exponentially growing number of spiritual seekers are rapidly responding to these materials as they come to sense the familiar Knowing that it brings forth from them. And, as one might expect, the Truth FEELS GOOD.

Abraham's remarkably clear words reach to the core of the listener. The teachings appeal to the heart because of the love with which they are imbued...and to the thinking mind due to the Supreme Intelligence with which the words are offered. The basic precepts for living life as a Conscious Creator, as offered by Abraham, can be applied in one's life with astounding ease and are a beautiful consolidation of the highest wisdom offered by the greatest mystical teachings humankind has ever known. These basic principles are presented as THE LAW OF ATTRACTION, THE LAW OF ALLOWING, and THE LAW OF DELIBERATE CREATION (which is basically a combination of the two).

The Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction states that all forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration. The implications of this law are vast, and the law holds true for all known Universes. "That which is like unto itself is drawn." The thoughts we hold attract similar thoughts and become large masses of thought called thoughtforms. The general vibration that a person holds is representative of the balance of their thoughts. As we become aware or conscious of our thoughts, we can raise our vibration by setting forth thoughts that are more in harmony with our desires. When our thoughts are in harmony with our highest desires, we are filled with joy and ecstasy. When we learn to set forth our thoughts consciously, we are no longer a victims of our own outdated programming. We increasingly attract thought of a higher vibration and raise the level of thought at which we habitually vibrate.

The Law of Allowing

The Law of Allowing states that there is a steady stream of pure energy that is ALL THAT IS. We either allow it or we disallow it. When we allow it, we feel pure positive energy. When we disallow it, we feel negative emotion. It is in the realm of the emotions that our INNER BEINGS communicate with us most effectively. Thoughts tend to get confusing but negative emotions and positive emotions are clear messages that we are either on or off track relative to our soul's highest purpose. Abraham states that we came here with clear intentions to vibrate in harmony with our soul's desire to do and be and have everything we want. Yet when we emerge in the physical, we are quickly bombarded with lackful thoughts of how there is good and there is bad, and that we need to veer away from harm and steer towards good. Abraham teaches that moving away from harm is futile, because in our attention to that which we are not wanting we are focusing on lack. The only way out of this seeming trap is to focus on the ONE PURE AND STEADY STREAM OF JOY that is coming forth to us at all times from our inner beings (IB). When we are not in a joyful state it is because our attention is temporarily removed from our natural state of PURE POSITIVE ENERGY.

The Law of Deliberate Creation

The Law of Deliberate Creation puts forth that by thinking thoughts that are in harmony with the original intentions of our inner being, we begin to again open the valve and allow ourselves to once more bask in the STREAM. The Stream is always there...but sometimes we simply forget to notice it. Due to the dynamics of the Law of Attraction, when we have one lackful thought, we attract more lackful thoughts and so on. As a result we begin spiraling downward. The way out of this spiral is to begin appreciating all that is good right NOW, for example, our comfortable homes, our beautifully functioning metabolisms, our wonderful friends, our delightful gardens.... this way we begin a spiral upward and back to our naturally joyous state of being. Joy is the reality; all else is illusory...and it is traceable to lackful thought. So much of our thought goes along the path of being analytical, critical and judgemental that we end up shooting ourselves in the foot: we bring ourselves down with our negative thoughts. By FEELING our way to thoughts that FEEL better, we gain a higher perspective, and bask in radiance and love. Integrating this material takes a bit of practice at first, but these Laws reflect the underlying principles of our Universe. By bringing these principles into our conscious awareness and learning to actively use them in our lives, we come to heightened levels of BEING in the physical realm... where the Warm Light of JOY is omnipresent... and ecstasy radiates endlessly from our hearts.

Sometimes no amount of words will do a subject justice.

Abraham is a name. A symbol. A feeling. Evocative-yet simple-like we want our names to be.

But who, or what, is/are, Abraham . . . really?

Workshop attendee: ". . . you're a very attractive woman, too."

Abraham: "We're usually a nebulous mist, so that is quite a compliment." (Laughter)

Louise Hay calls them "some of the best teachers on the planet today."

To Dr. Wayne Dyer they are "the great Masters of the Universe!"

A veritable who's-who of authors, speakers and teachers continue to publicly acknowledge and praise the immense value of the wisdom that is pouring forth through Esther.

Abraham has described themselves as "a group consciousness from the non-physical dimension" (which helps a lot!). They have also said, "We are that which you are. You are the leading edge of that which we are. We are that which is at the heart of all religions."

Abraham has told us through Esther that whenever we feel moments of great love, exhilaration, pure joy, stoned-out bliss, even the energy of sexual orgasm when we feel that Energy Flow rushing through our bodies, that is the energy of Source, and that is who Abraham "is".

"Jerry and Esther never used the word channeling," Abraham reflects. "It is used when applied to them, but they have never used it, because it means many things of which they are not, you see."

"You could leave the channeling out of it. Call it inspiration; that's all it is. You don't call the basketball player a channeler, but he is; he's an extension of Source Energy. You don't call the surgeon a channeler, but he is. You don't call the musician, the magnificent master musician, you don't call him a channeler, but he is. He's channeling the broader essence of who he is into the specifics of what he is about."

Esther herself calls Abraham "infinite intelligence," and to Jerry they are "the purest form of love I've ever experienced."

We say check out Abraham for yourself. It's the only way to go and the only way to know. If watching or listening or reading the words of Abraham feels good to you, then you're in the right place. If they sound "off" to you, or maybe even a little bit annoying—adventure on!

And finally—from Jerry—"Mr. Practical":

"I don't know what they are and I don't care what they are. I'm just using them for the good it will do for myself and others."

And sometimes—all is said with just one word.

Abraham. They just are what they are.

Every person creates their own reality and their life with the power of their thoughts.

What you think,
what you feel
always materializes.

Beyond their material body every human being is energy and this energy is the natural extension of the energy of Source, God, Power, Light. This energy animates the physical body, provides it with the power of life. This energy is constantly vibrating and the way it vibrates is determined by one’s way of thinking and his system of beliefs. Because of the different way of thinking of every person, the vibration of every human being is different. The strictly determinate mode of vibration of every human being attracts to him from the great universal vibrational ocean situations, people and events according to the essence of one’s thoughts and beliefs. Everything is arranged by the Universal Law, which is also the Universal Manager – the Law of Attraction, which says: “That which is like unto itself, is drawn.” So by the power of your thoughts you build your own life. What you experience today is the result of what you have been thinking yesterday, the day before, a year ago, ten years ago; the thoughts of today determine you life tomorrow.

And how do you know what you are creating right now?

This is quite easy to be understood, because everyone has a very effective guiding system - their feelings. Emotion always gives a clear indication of what you are creating in every moment of your life. No matter how many different names you give them, at the end they are always reduced to two essentials – emotion that makes you feel good and emotion that doesn’t make you feel good.

A person who wants to take responsibility, to create his own life, must find a way to be in harmony with their desire, to feel good, by replacing the thoughts that make them feel bad with thoughts that make them feel better.

What a person holds as their object of attention is always materialized, whether they like it or not. Their attention is the invitation, opening the way to the materialization.

How to invite things that are satisfying, things that a person wants to experience, do or have?

The most important technique to do this is to concentrate only on what makes you feel good, on what you want in your life – to imagine it, experience it and hold the image of it in your mind as often as possible.

Feeling good is the most important thing in your life, because only then you attract more and more of the same. If you are experiencing a difficult time (and you wouldn’t be if your vibration wasn’t aligned with the vibration of that situation), you have to find a way to feel a little better, and a little better… until the new and improved vibration starts to attract new situations, people and events in your life. In your complaining, it is not possible to attract better circumstances – the vibration of complaint and displeasure stands too far away from the vibration of Well-being. In order to attract well-being, your thoughts and emotions must be in alignment with the vibration of Well-being.

The Non-physical Teachers Abraham give a simple, clear and logical explanation of how the Universe works, they define the Universal Laws and offer powerful processes to help any individual move their life in a satisfying direction.

The reality you are experiencing now is not unchangeable; your experience is just an indication of the vibration offered; of what you have kept your attention on so far. If your experience doesn’t satisfy you, it is enough to change your focus, to concentrate on something else, which will then materialize and your reality will change.

And so – what do you want?

You want a strong, healthy, flexible, beautiful body? Then think of it, experience it, feel like you already have it. Focus on what you want, not on what is.

You want a satisfying, well-paid job, full of opportunities for expressing your creativity? Then think of it, experience it, feel like you already have it. Focus on what you want, not on what is.

You want a lot of money? Then focus on why you want it and how you would feel if you had it. Concentrate on what you want, not on what is.

You want a good relationship? Then imagine how you would feel if you had it. Keep your thoughts on what you want, not on what is.

You want your children to be well? Then only concentrate on the wonderful future ahead of them and avoid thinking of the imaginary accidents that might happen to them. The negative thoughts, feelings and beliefs are the single obstacle that keeps all these wonderful things you are dreaming of from flowing in your life. Find a way to eliminate the negative thoughts, find a way to feel good, or at least a little better, and you will give all those things you dream of a possibility to start materializing in your life. You will start to become a deliberate creator of your own experience, travelling through your life in Joy, Well-being and Prosperity.

If you are someone seeking for answers in life, my intention is to guide you with these pages to find answers that will lead you to well-being, well-fair and prosperity.

It is good to know that you are the one building your life with the power of your thoughts, you are the one responsible for your destiny and only you can help yourself. Only you think your thoughts, no one else can think for you; and your thoughts and beliefs are your point of attraction. Certainly from time to time there is someone supporting you, but in the end you must find a way to help and support yourself; a way to do things the way they will work well for you; to lose bad habits and acquire beneficial ones.

The most important thing is for you to know what you want, where you want to be and then examine the paths that will lead you there. You begin by clarifying the purpose of this journey, e.g. the end. Before the journey begins, you must know where you want to go, where you want to arrive.

"Knowing what I want..." sounds pretty simple, but in fact you are afraid to ask, because you don’t want to be disappointed (again), because you were thaught not to be a dreamer but a realist, until finally you lost the ability to dream of what might be. Without being conscious about this, you have put yourself in a limited space, which suffocates and restrains you. And your work now is to free yourself from this limiting and suppressing existence. It doesn’t matter where are you now. The most important thing is to know where you want to be.

At their seminars the Non-physical Teachers Abraham often make a comparison with the Magellan guiding system, that Esther and Jerry Hicks have in their Monster Bus. Magellan never asks “How did you get there? Where have you been? What is still keeping you there? Why didn’t you listen to me yesterday? How many times do I have to repeat the same thing to you? Why do you want to go to another place?”, Magellan simply knows point A, where you are at the present moment. The only other thing the system needs is point B, e.g. the place where you want to be. This is everything necessary for you to be guided. By analogy, the Universe attends to provide what you need in life. And what doesn’t matter is:

• how you got to where are you now
• how long you have been there
• how many times you have tried to get out of there
• how your parents didn’t support you
• how no one understands you
• how many obstacles there are in your life

The only thing that you need to do is clarify what do you want to be, do or have and keep yourself in vibrational harmony with your desires. The Universe will take care of the rest – circumstances and events will be lined up to fulfil your desires.

• The Three Laws of Abraham
• The Teachings of Abraham

Here is the essence of the Abraham-Hicks message, distilled from workshops with Abraham since 1986.

You are a Physical Extension of that which is Non-physical.

All-That-Is, or God, is not finished and waiting for you to catch up. You are the leading edge of thought, here seeking more: more of all that feels good to you, more of that which is fresh and gloriously uplifting. (You are, in essence, bringing heaven to earth.)

You are here in this body because you chose to be here.

You wanted the opportunity to experience this delicious contrast in time and space, and with great anticipation you came to co-create with other joy-seeking beings, to fine-tune the process of deliberate thought. (What, where, when and with whom are your choices, too.)

The basis of your life is Freedom; the purpose of your life is Joy.

You are free to choose to discover new avenues for your joy. In your joy you will grow; and in your growth you will add to the growth of All-That-Is. (However, you are also free to choose bondage or pain... but everything anyone chooses is only because they believe it will help them feel better.)

You are a creator; you create with your every thought.

You often create by default, for you are getting what you are giving your attention to wanted or unwanted but you know by how it feels if what you are getting (creating) is what you are wanting or if it is not what you are wanting. (Where is your attention focused?)

Anything that you can imagine is yours to be or do or have.

As you ask yourself why you want it, the essence of your desire is activated, and the Universe begins to bring it to you. The more intense your positive feelings, the faster it is coming to you. (It is as easy to create a castle as a button.)

You are choosing your creations as you are choosing your thoughts.

Your loving Inner Being offers guidance in the form of emotion. Entertain a wanted or unwanted thought and you feel a wanted or unwanted emotion. Choose to change the thought and you've changed the emotion and the creation. (Make more choices in every day.)

The Universe adores you; for it knows your broadest intentions.

You have come to earth with great intentions, and the Universe constantly guides you on your chosen path. When you are feeling good, you are, in that moment, allowing more of that which you have intended from your broader perspective. (You are Spirit Incarnate.)

Relax into your natural Well-being. All is well. (Really it is!)

The essence of all that you appreciate is constantly flowing into your reality. As you find more things to appreciate, your state of appreciation opens more avenues to more to feel appreciation for. (As you think you vibrate. As you vibrate you attract.)

You are a creator of thoughtways on your unique path of joy.

No one can limit where you can direct your thought. There are no limits to your joyous journeys to experience. On the path to your happiness you will discover all that you want to be or do or have. (Allowing others their experiences allows you yours.)

Actions to be taken and money to be exchanged are by-products of your focus on joy.

On your deliberately joyous journey your actions will be inspired, your resources will be abundant and you will know by the way you feel that you are fulfilling your reason for life. (Most have this one backwards, therefore most feel little joy in their actions or their possessions.)

You may appropriately depart your body without illness or pain.

You need not attract illness or pain as an excuse to leave. Your natural state coming, remaining or leaving is that of health and of Well-being. (You are free to choose otherwise.)

You can not die; you are Everlasting Life.

In grace, you may choose to relax and allow your gentle transition back into your Non-physical state of pure, positive Energy. Your natural state is that of Foreverness. (Have fun with all of this. Lighten up! You can't get it wrong.)

P.S. It is not necessary for even one other person to understand the Laws of the Universe or the processes that we are offering here in order for you to have a wonderful, happy, productive Life Experience for you are the attractor of your experience. Just you!
