Abraham & the Law of Attraction
September 15th, 2007 by John Wolfe
The phenomenal teachings of Abraham have been pouring forth from non-physical awareness, through Esther Hicks, for over two decades. In the process they’ve changed thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of lives for the better. Abraham’s teachings are categorized as channeled works, however that’s not a word that you’d find Esther or her husband Jerry using to describe them. Esther prefers to be known as a translator, which is why I described her as such in my post The Secret.
Although the name Abraham is singular, it represents the awareness of a group consciousness, which “speaks” in vibration to Esther (as thought). She then translates those vibrational thoughts into words, utilizing her own vocabulary and her own speaking voice. There’s no possession or relinquishing of her physical body involved. In fact she has stated that she feels extremely exhilarated and is completely present during the process, yet can simultaneously feel Abraham’s awareness flooding into her.
Abraham brings forth information, which has been stated in many different ways for thousands of years; however they add a clarity and freshness that makes it easy to understand, grasp and apply. They teach that our thoughts, through our emotional resonance, create every aspect of our reality, based upon a principle called the law of attraction.
The law of attraction (LOA) lies at the heart of both the physical and non-physical Universe or Multiverse and is the manager of what can and cannot make its way into our experience. LOA is impartial as it serves our predominant, consistent, emotionally charged thoughts. Abraham teaches that the energy humans refer to as god projected itself into our physical awareness. It’s through god/source/our inner being’s constant communication (through our emotions) that we become aware of whether we are moving toward or away from that which we desire.
Our inner being never joins us as we hold negative thoughts; no matter how justified (in our human interpretation) we believe we are. This is the reason we feel undesirable emotion. It’s our indicator that we are choosing to view life outside the manner of our inner being’s interpretation. When we judge others, ourselves or circumstances and experiences in a harsh manner, we literally divide ourselves in two- the human perspective and the source perspective. Abraham teaches that emotions were always meant to be our feedback mechanism, serving as source’s means for providing guidance in this physical environment.
The teachings go on to state that the more in alignment we become with our inner being’s view, the better we will feel. When we are loving, joyful and appreciative, we are in full alignment with our source, as indicated by our desirable feeling emotions. In turn, the law of attraction will begin to knock itself out to alter circumstances and events in our environment to bring forth what we desire and hope for.
While much of this information may not be new; one of the greatest gems I have found in Abraham’s teachings is the acknowledgement of where we are. They teach that wherever we are on the emotional scale- ranging from depression all the way to joy is fine. It’s all about giving ourselves permission to be present and experience our emotions, instead of denying them and trying to suppress them.
This alone was extremely liberating for me, because I’ve always had a tendency to try and cover up how I truly feel- not being honest with myself and others for fear of their response. Only when we acknowledge where we are can we then take full responsibility for our lives. And once we are honest with ourselves, we can begin to take the emotional journey toward anything that brings the feeling of relief.
Another rare gem among these teachings is the concept of allowing ourselves to feel rage and anger. Most metaphysical, self help and spiritual models, for living life, view this as being improper, as does a good portion of our society. But Abraham encourages it, if we are in a place of feeling extreme fear or depression.
When we move into rage we can start to take our power back, which was stripped from us in our less desirable emotional states. They don’t encourage that we physically act on our rage, but instead feel our way through it. From rage, we could move into anger, then into discouragement and blame, and on as we continuously work our way toward more desirable feeling emotions, all via the intention of reaching for relief.
Abraham consistently uses the analogy of life being a stream and the fact that all of us are inserting our boats into this stream in different emotional locations. In the human experience, our primary response is to get into the water and fight the current for all we’re worth as if we have something to prove. If we would instead allow ourselves to stop the fight and the urge to paddle upstream, we would be gently turned and carried quite naturally along with the current.
This stream of life has been put into place by each one of us and all of our collective individual experiences. The more life experiences we’ve lived, the more we tend to launch desires. The more desires we launch, the faster our individual streams flow. If we decide to start bucking a fast moving current and not allow the natural float trip, we’re going to have an extremely rough time.
Our individual streams provide our life journey, but this doesn’t mean we are puppets on a string. It’s through our choices, as we take our float trip (or fight it every step of the way), that we are presented with side tributaries branching off in hundreds of other directions. Using this example we could say that the stream represents not only the flow of life but destiny itself. Along destiny’s current we can take any side path we choose through our free will. But we cannot escape our destiny of the stream’s current; we can only postpone its benefits. As Abraham always says, “We don’t come forth to get it done. We come forth for a ride on the river.”
Whether you believe in channeling (the traditional definition or mine) or not, it doesn’t really matter. The fantastic information provided in the vast body of Jerry and Esther’s work speaks for itself, as does their track record of success for providing others with the tools to fully empower themselves. The teachings, which come forth, mean far more to me than any explanation of how Esther does what she does.
