Abraham Hicks Law of Attraction
Abraham Hicks Law of Attraction
However, Abraham teaches with words because words can manifest thoughts in us -- and thoughts can manifest deliberate creative experience. Default experience is non-deliberate or non-thoughtful experience. Default experience is what most of us experience most of the time, i.e., separated from our own Inner Being -- or Higher Self, or Holy Spirit, or whatever synonym one prefers. Abraham teaches: we enthusiastically chose to come into this current physical lifetime to scan the vast and various contrasts in thoughts and experiences, and then deliberately create our new experiences. We are physical extensions of our own non-physical Inner Being, i.e., thought precedes form. Because thought precedes form, for example, sustained images of health -- not of illness -- must precede all sustained healing. There are three specific experiences that are our birthright: 1) Joy, 2) Freedom and 3) Growth. The object of our life is Joy. The basis of our life is Freedom. The result of our life is Growth. The good news, and the bad news, is: we create our own experience -- with our thoughts. The bad news is: this core philosophical principle is not generally the cultural thought system with which we were imprinted, educated and now live. We usually vision and worry over what we do not want, rather than what we do want. The Universe manifests what we image or vision - whether by default or deliberate creation. The good news is: if we do not like our present thoughts, we can change them immediately; if we do not like our present experiences, we can create the experiences we do want. We create with desire, intent and logical next steps.
Our emotions, i.e., how we feel, gives us moment-to-moment feedback on how we are connected or aligned with our Inner Being. If our experience is some aspect of Joy, Freedom and Growth -- we feel good. If we feel bad, or negative, or ill -- we are not aligned with our Inner Being, and are not deliberately claiming our birthright. Only three Universal Laws exist: 1) Law of Attraction, 2) Law of Deliberate Creation and 3) Law of Allowing. These Laws are always true and always everywhere, in the physical and in the non-physical. Our conventional culture teaches us to create with action. Abraham teaches: to create with thought is many, many, many times more powerful than to create with action. Action is intended to be for the Joy of physically experiencing our creations or manifestations. Abraham teaches: we came to be physical beings in this lifetime to be at the leading edge of Universal thought and experience. More good news: the integration of the Laws of Attraction, Creation and Allowing manifests Joyous Survival. There will never be an end to creation -we are Eternal Beings. More good news: we can never get it wrong -and we will never get it done.
The Three Universal Laws Law I: Abraham, what is the Law of Attraction? Law of Attraction is the most powerful law in the universe. What it says is: That which is like unto itself is drawn. You see it evidenced here in your society when you say, "Birds of a feather flock together." You see it evidenced when you wake up in the morning with a very bad day, and all through the day things get worse and worse, and at the end of the day you say, "I should not have gotten out of bed." You see Law of Attraction evidenced in your society when you see that the one who speaks most of illness has it; when you see that the one who speaks most of prosperity has it. So Law of Attraction is evident everywhere around you -- if you are understanding what it is. The way we are wanting you to understand it most significantly is when you understand that you are a magnet attracting unto you that which you are thinking and feeling. So if you are feeling fat you cannot attract thin. If you feel poor you cannot attract prosperity -and so on, because it defies Law. When you come to understand that you are a magnet, attracting unto you, then and only then will it make sense to you to pay attention to what you are thinking. Then we say to you that you are the creator of your experience -- and that you attract unto you through your thoughts, and through your words which are an extension of your thoughts, and through your actions which are also an extension of your thoughts. What we are saying is that, literally, you are creating your experience. The greatest resistance we receive in this regard is that there are so many who have those things in their experience that they don't want, and so they cannot believe that they would have created it. They say, "Abraham, I would not have done this unto me." And we say we know you would not have done it on purpose, but that is creation by default, which is putting Law of Attraction to work by summoning or soliciting or advising into your experience that which you do not want by thought -- not understanding the rules of the game, so to speak. So we say, without exception, that which you give thought to is that which you begin to invite into your experience.
Now as we are talking further about other recordings that have been made and about other Laws, this Law of Attraction will become even more clear to you. For you are getting what you are thinking about, but we are wanting you to understand more fully how you may modify your thoughts, and more importantly, pay attention to the way that you are feeling. For monitoring thoughts is very time consuming. It is not an easy thing to do. You are receiving stimulation of thought so rapidly. So we are even not encouraging, even when you are understanding Law of Attraction, that you monitor every thought. There is another process that will work even better for you. When you think a little thought of something you are wanting, by Law of Attraction, that thought grows larger and larger and more and more powerful. When you think a thought of something you are not wanting, that Law of Attraction adds unto it and it grows larger and larger also. So the larger it grows, the more power it draws unto it, then the more certain you are to receive the experience, you see. So we are not saying that every subtle little thought will manifest instantly in your experience; that is because of the buffer of time. But it does mean that it is setting forth the probability. And if you stay focused on the little thought long enough, it absolutely under all conditions will be yours. The interesting thing about these Laws that we are offering here is that they are -- even if you do not understand that they are -- affecting your experience, even in your ignorance of them. It is our wanting that you will not resist these words because they are strange; but that you will ponder them, and then look into your own experience that you may see the correlation between what you are thinking and speaking and what you are getting -- so that you will accept the Law of Attraction as absolute, thereby, beginning to use it to your benefit, rather than to your detriment.
Law II: Abraham, what is the Law of Deliberate Creation? [In the Monterey Workshop tape of March 14, 2000, a brief description of Law II was stated to be: I bring the vibration of my belief into harmony with the vibration of my desire.] We have called this the Law of Deliberate Creation because we are assuming that you are wanting to create on purpose. But actually, it is more aptly called the Law of Creation -- for it works whether you are thinking of what you are wanting or thinking of what you are not wanting; whether you are thinking of what you are wanting, or you are thinking of the lack of what you are wanting. The direction of your thought is your choice, and the Law of Creation goes to work upon whatever it is that you are thinking about. We are wanting you to understand that there are seemingly two parts to manifestation -- since you are now in this physical existence. If you were only in the nonphysical, focused as we are, you would notice only half of the equation applying -- for there is only the giving of thought and receiving the manifestation simultaneously. But here in this physical dimension -- with the buffer of time -- there appears to be two parts of the equation. On the one hand, the launching of the creation, with emotion to speed it -- and then on the other hand, the expecting or the allowing or the receiving of that which has been launched in the first place, you see. In this physical place it is not easy for most of you to hear these words regarding creating through thought and to accept them wholly in the beginning -- for you live in a physical world and you have seen so many taking action to make everything happen. Certainly we do not deny that action is an integral part of the physical world in which you live. But we do say that if you are utilizing the power of your thought to pre-pave or to set forth thought in advance of what you are wanting to receive - and as you are walking through space and time into your now, you will not have so much action to take to get things the way you are wanting them to be. We have noted that your hospitals are filled to the brim with those who are taking action to compensate for inappropriate thought. They did not create the illness on purpose but they did create it through
thought, and through expectation empowered with their emotion. Then, they go to the hospital to take physical action to compensate. We see many spending their day exchanging their action for dollars because the dollars are essential to the freedom of life in this society. Yet we know that in most cases the action is not action in Joy -- and yet, it is a compensating action in the now. So what we are wanting to do with this recording is to stimulate you to the awareness that of course you are taking action now. You have intended action. That is part of the deliciousness of this physical world in which you live. But you did not intend to do your creating through action. You intended to do your creating through thought, and to enjoy that which you have created with your body. If you understand that as you set forth thought in advance with emotion, you have launched your creation -- and then you walk through space and time toward that time in the future expecting that it will be there. Then we say to you, from that Joyful creation that you have launched into the future, you will be inspired to the action that is action in Joy -- and that is our point. When you are taking action in your now, and it is not action in Joy, it is our absolute promise to you that it will not lead to a happy ending. It cannot. It defies law. So we say that rather than being so ready to jump into action, to do, to go and get the things that you are wanting, we say: think them into being, see them, visualize them and expect them -- and they will be. And you will be guided, or inspired, or led to the perfect action that will bring about the process that will lead you to that which you seek. There is a great difference between that which we have spoken, and the way most of the world is going about it.
Law III: Abraham, what is the Law of Allowing? [In the Monterey Workshop tape of March 14, 2000, a description of Law III was briefly stated to be: Individual discovery of harmonious vibration to desire.] We have put the Law of Allowing in this order, following the Law of Attraction first, and the Law of Deliberate Creating second -- because Law of Allowing cannot begin to be understood until the first two are understood. What we are meaning by the Law of Allowing is: "I am that which I am, and I am pleased with it -- Joyful in it. And you are that which you are -- and while it is different, perhaps, than that which I am, it is also good. Because I am able to focus upon that which I want, even if there are those differences between us that are dramatic, I do not suffer the negative emotion because I am wise enough not to focus upon that which brings me discomfort. I have come to understand, as I am one who is applying the Law of Allowing, that I have not come forth into this physical world to get everyone to follow the truth that I think is the truth. I have not come forth to encourage the world into a world of conformity or sameness, for I am wise enough to understand that in sameness, in conformity, there is not the diversity that stimulates creativity. And that in focusing upon bringing about conformity -- I am pointed toward an ending, rather than a continuing, of creation. So Law of Allowing is absolutely essential to the continuation or the survival of this species, of this planet, of this universe, you see. Not only that, when I do not allow myself, I feel rotten. And when I do not allow another, I feel rotten." So that is the basis behind Law of Allowing. Allowing is not in the tolerance sense -- for when you are tolerating another, you are not letting them be. You are letting them go ahead in doing what they do, but you are not liking it. You are still binding yourself with the negativities.
Then how do we protect ourselves from others that might invade our space? That is why we said: before you can understand and accept Law of Allowing you must first understand Law of Attraction and Law of Deliberate Creating. For certainly if you do not understand how something is coming unto you -- then you are fearful of it. If you do not understand that another cannot come into your experience unless you invite them through thought -- then of course you would worry about the others and what the others are doing. But when you understand that nothing will come into your experience unless you invite it through thought, unless you invite it through emotional thought and great expectation -- unless you actually accomplish this delicate creative balance -- you will not receive it, you see. So when Law of Allowing is understood, when the Law of Deliberate Creation is understood, when the Law of Attraction is understood; then, there is no longer a need for walls or barricades or armies or wars or jails. For then you understand that you are absolutely free to create around you the world that you are wanting. And you are not feeling such a responsibility or such an urging to contain or control the others. For you understand that they are in the process of creating their world around them. You see, in this physical world in which you are focused, even in this universe of which this physical world is a part; there are those things that you are in absolute harmony with -- and there are those things that you are in absolute disharmony with, and there is some of everything in between. But you have not come forth to destroy or contain that which you do not agree with -- for that is a changing thing. Instead, you have come forth to identify, moment by moment, segment by segment, day by day, year by year, what it is you are wanting -- to use the power of your thought to focus upon it, to utilize the power of Law of Attraction to draw it unto you. The other doesn't work. Have you noticed? For they cannot find a way of containing a changing thing. And who gets to choose who is right, anyway?
