Create Your Own Life Experience Using The Laws Of The Universe
Long before the film and book phenomenon The Secret, Esther and Jerry Hicks were teaching the Law of Attraction. The Law traces back to Biblical times and states that you create your own experience in this lifetime through your thoughts, beliefs, and expectations. Compiled into one volume, The Law of Attraction provides the basics of the teachings of Abraham, a non-physical spiritual entity that Esther Hicks claims to channel from the astral realm.
Regardless of your belief in channeling, the information provided in The Law of Attraction is time-tested, accurate, and immensely uplifting. The book opens with brief essays by Esther and Jerry, explaining how they came to understand the Law and how Esther first became a channel for Abraham.
Every great idea and occurrence in the physical realm started as a thought. If you want something as part of your experience, you must think that you will have it, expect to receive it, believe that you will receive, and then allow yourself to receive it. The Law works for both wanted and unwanted things, so you must guard your thoughts carefully and focus only on those experiences or things you want to have. Creativity is the greatest divine gift to humanity, and Abraham explains that those who have found material prosperity in this life are more adept at understanding the Law of Attraction and using it to their advantage.
The teachings of Abraham may be difficult for those raised through traditional orthodox religions, especially the Catholic faith. Reincarnation and mysticism are dealt with directly and undoubtedly. Additionally, some may find it difficult to accept the more challenging concepts included here. Abraham suggests that illness, crime, and even sexual assault, while not necessarily intentionally manifested, are all the result of a consciousness of fear. Per the teachings, the world's most devastating conditions along with the most debilitating of human ailments can be healed with a shift in consciousness and belief.
The Law of Attraction is one of the most written about topics in modern new age and metaphysical literature. Proven time and again, one would be wise to understand various perspectives of the Law, shift toward an attitude of positivity and expectation, and create his or her own life experience. Unfortunately, Esther and Jerry Hicks lean toward the materialistic side of the Law, as do many modern metaphysical texts, including The Secret. More spiritual texts discuss the manifestation of material abundance as a natural byproduct of giving generously and living life as an evolutionary process through positive thought. The Hicks texts suggest that by focusing on the material (money and cars being discussed frequently), those objects will become manifest.
The Law of Attraction, while lacking in spirituality, serves as a fascinating and thorough introduction to the Law. A resource that can be referred back to time and again so as to maintain a positive attitude of expectancy, success, and abundance, it is a valuable addition to any self-help or metaphysical library.
