Law of attraction (LOA) and manifesting have been common topics lately with friends and work colleagues. I’m surprised that so few people know about Abraham although I understand that the DVD version of the film of The Secret (which has made these topics more mainstream) excluded the Abraham information for contractual reasons.
I first came across Abraham and Esther Hicks on the Iasos website during 1996 or 97 while I was searching for more books and information about Seth and Jane Roberts who I had been reading about since the mid 1980s. Abrahams’ principles struck me as being so sensible and logical. Over the years, I’ve read lots of their books, listened to their tapes and CDs, and watched their DVDs. The law of attraction principles are so simple but I have found them hard to ‘get’ when I’m concentrating on what I don’t want, i.e. giving my attention to the problem(s) I am facing at the time. I have to keep reminding myself to reach for a better feeling and then ‘allowing’ what I do want to manifest.
Trying to explain Abrahams’ teachings to others has been a lot easier since The Secret. Before that, people would role their eyes and talk about coincidence, etc. ”Abraham” is a collective name for entities channeled through Esther Hicks. This in itself is a huge barrier to the information for some people. If anyone is interested in pursuing LOA as a means of reaching their goals or making life easier, then I recommend the following resources:
Introducing Abraham… a 2 disk DVD set that is a great introduction to Abraham – from the beginning.
Although there were earlier books, Ask and it is Given was the first book to put most of the principles, as well as useful instructions, together in one volume.
The Master Course audio of 11 CDs was recorded on a cruise where the producers of The Secret were filming Esther. It has been described as the most comprehensive and in-depth presentation on the teachings of Abraham. I tend to agree.
The Live in Australia DVD is one of the best recordings of an Art of Allowing workshop. It was filmed in Sydney; the audience asked a wide range of interesting questions; and there seemed to be less editing between speakers.
The Iasos website has a concentrated version of the teachings of Abraham and the Abraham- Hicks website has all the Abraham resources including some short video clips.
It has only been in the last 12 months that I have really started to live more by these principles and reap more rewards. I hope you find this useful, or at least interesting enough to investigate further.
