ou intended to come forth into the physical realm of contrast to define what is wanted. To connect with the Energy that creates worlds, and to flow it toward your objects of attention. Not because the objects of attention are important — but because the act of flowing is essential to life. Abraham — G-10/15/96 — Lincroft, NJ Abraham-Hicks Publications, L.L.C. P.O.

Making Contrast Your Friend You Are Creators

wanting. You seem to believe that if you could somehow push hard enough against what you do not want that it would go away, when, in reality, every moment of attention that you give to it means you are actually, for that moment, choosing it and, therefore, it is a part of your vibration. Your attention to it means you are including it. Whatever it is you are giving your attention to causes you to offer a vibrational output that the Universe is matching. So what happens to most of you is that you are not offering the pure signal that you mean to offer. In other words, you would like to tell the Universe what you are wanting, but most of you are not only telling the Universe what you want but what you don’t want. So what your signal is offering or outputting is contradicted. It’s not pure.

You are Creators who have come forth into this physical dimension as extensions of that Nonphysical Energy. And you were very exhilarated about coming forth into this contrasting experience because you knew that out of the contrast you would be able to come to clear decision. Can you feel the power in the word “decision?” Can you feel the difference between saying, “I want that” or “I would like to have that” and “I have decided?” Can you feel that a decision is a more focusing of the Energy? That is what a Creator is.

A Creator is one who focuses Energy. A Creator is one who uses the contrast to help you decide — but then once you have decided, you give your full attention to that which you have decided.

The Formula Says The formula for creating anything says, “Identify the desire.” That’s easy. Contrast helps you do that. And once you’ve identified the desire, achieve a vibrational match with the desire. And when you do that, as Esther said, “It’s a done deal.” When you are in vibrational harmony with your own desire so that your output is singular and pure, the Universe must deliver to you that which is your desire. We hear you sometimes say, “Abraham, I want more money. I’m so tired of the struggle.” And we say, “That is not a pure vibration.” When you say, “I want a new red car,” the Universe responds to the vibration of your desire. But then when you say, “But a new red car is too expensive,” the Universe responds

Very often, what happens in your physical realm is that as you look around at the contrast and you see what you do not want — it helps you in knowing what you do want. But very often you spend more of your time focused upon what you are not wanting than upon what you are

to that vibration, too. So when the Universe is responding to two contradictory vibrations, you stand right where you are.

realign it if it gets out of alignment. That’s really all there is to it. You have this magnificent Guidance System within you that lets you know whether — in any moment — you are a vibrational match to your own desire or not. You can literally feel it. You can tell by the way you feel what the vibration of your being is. When you are feeling elation, when you are feeling joy, when you are feeling appreciation, when you are feeling love... those feelings are indicators that you are in vibrational harmony with your desires and with your Core Energy. But when you feel anger or frustration or blame or guilt or any of those negative emotions, like fear... that means that, in that moment, you have your attention upon something that is not a vibrational match to your Core Energy or to your desire. Your emotions are your barometer to let you know about vibration. So as you begin to pay attention to the way you feel, you are then, and only then, able to align your energies with your Core, and with your own, desire.

You can offer your vibration on purpose. That’s what visualization is. That’s what imagination is: Projecting thought Energy on purpose. Most of our physical human friends are not doing much visualizing. Most of you are observing what-is. Now that can be a good thing. It often isn’t, however. It sort of depends on what you are observing.

Visionaries Thrive

If you are running around, and, out of habit, observing, then you’re up and down all over the place. But if you pay attention to the way you feel — and you are deliberately choosing thoughts for the very selfish reason that they feel better — then you are in alignment with who you are.

If you are mostly an observer (and most of you are) you are thriving in good times but suffering in bad times. Because whatever you’re observing is reflected in your vibration. So as you observe it, you radiate a vibration that matches it. The Universe accepts that as your point of attraction and gives you more like it which then you observe. So the better it gets the better it gets — or the worse it gets the worse it gets. But if you are a visionary, you thrive in all times. Because as a visionary, you have learned to hold your vibration in the place that matches your desire. Basically you have one function that breaks down into two activities. The two activities are: Line up your Energy. And

Hello from Jerry & Esther our lives, we are joyfully scrambling. And getting better every day at applying the techniques that Abraham continues to lovingly offer. We will not list the long and very exciting things that are unfolding for us and our work with Abraham, but as things develop, Abraham will surely let you know about them. Also, we want you to be aware that our Web Site is now ready for you to view at www.abrahamhicks.com This site, like everything else in the Universe really will continue to evolve. Take a look and have some fun with it. The Abraham Logo that rocks and flows Energy across the upper left hand corner of your screen was created by our talented “One Song” friends from northern California. Wish you could see the full screen version of this. It is awesome. We’ll talk more about the Web Site as you begin to utilize it. We have the feeling that this could be the start of something big. Or did someone else already figure that out? If you are calling our office, you may have already met the two newest members of our home office team. Aileen Deaton has moved here from Atlanta to work with us, and Charlotte Stout we found right in our backyard. Well sorta. We have a great group of talented and nice people working with us, and everyday we are thankful for the impor-

Dear Friends, Recently Abraham said to us, with amused, humorous, loving delight, “Perhaps we should have explained right from the beginning that once you begin to deliberately flow this Energy that creates worlds, that you can’t go back.” “Oh right, thanks a lot. This is another fine mess you’ve gotten me into!” I replied. And they’re not kidding. Things are crackin’ here on the home front. And we are truly loving every minute of it. I know that what Abraham means is that once you begin to access this wonderful, powerful Energy that it is not possible to find enough time or action to then respond to what you have begun with your thought. And that the key is then to imagine, remember, script, and pretend with further details about now dealing with what you have set into motion with your initial thought. Boy, is this fun! And so, while we are always scrambling a bit in the action part of

Study Group Guidelines tant part each of them plays in the joyful expansion of our work. Our daughter, Tracy, is now Tracy Ayers. She and David were married June 28th in San Antonio. Their wedding was magnificent and they are already living happily ever after. Each seminar seems to us to be the very best ever. We laugh, now, when we say that, but we really do mean it. It feels to us that the group we just completed will now travel to the next city and the evolving questions will pick up right where we left off. It’s as if you guys are all connected out there in the cosmos somehow. Ya think? We still don’t really understand how all of this works, but we are having a glorious time in the exploration of it. And we are so appreciative of your part in all of this. There surely are not two more blessed people on this planet than the two of us. We are knocked over, on a daily basis, by the good things that flow to us. We are ever appreciative and ever consciously aware of how good our life is, and we wish this wonderful state of being for each one of you. We’ll see you out there on the trail somewhere. Please know that we love you, and that we read and rejoice in your notes and letters and calls. Our love,

WORDS FROM ABRAHAM TO THOSE WHO ARE JOINING TOGETHER IN STUDY GROUPS We see that you are doing extremely well. We feel your enthusiasm for your newly applied knowing. We acknowledge your desire to connect with other like-minded friends. It is truly delicious to come together with others like yourself, who consciously acknowledge that all truly is well. • Come together in joy. • Bask in the utter deliciousness of your variances or differences. • Come rested, with your valves wide open. • Love those, unconditionally, who come with their valves closed. • Begin, happily, soar to new heights together, and then close while still soaring. • Decide to benefit from the contrast without crossing the line into resistance. • Gather data of successes between gatherings to share with others. Enter into a group agreement that the primary objective of the gathering is: • To come happy and leave happier. • To arrive feeling great and leave feeling better. • To arrive with knowing and to leave wiser still. Make a decision that these gatherings truly be co-creation at its very best! There is great love, here, for you. Abraham

! W E N G-SERIES TAPES — WINTER, 1996 Making Contrast Your Friend Your first and only order of business is to stay connected to the Energy Stream. Connect first to your Source, and then everything wonderful will follow from that. Understand that the connection is there in your laugh, in your joy, in your interest, in your fun...It’s not some big metaphysical thing. It’s not some big spiritual thing. It is the pure simplicity of joy. That’s all it is. You know when you’re in the Energy of joy, and you know when you’re not. You can tell by the way you feel. So seek those thoughts that have lightness and fun and joy to them. And as you seek that first, the clarity and the power will follow. But if you seek the power and the clarity first, you will often feel diminished in not finding it instantly, and then you get off on the wrong vibrational track. The basis of your life is the utter freedom to choose every thought. Your goal, or quest, is a feeling of joy, because that’s how you know you’re connected to Source Energy. That’s how you know you’re on your path. And the result of all of that is the inevitable motion forward, or growth. But let the joy be your quest — and everything wonderful will fall into place.

PRESENTING A POWERFUL 365 DAY COURSE IN SPIRITUAL PRACTICALITY Here is a delicious, new adventure into a study of Spiritual Practicality. This is a one year experiential study of twelve evolving segments, of increasing intensity, of imagining and planning and manifesting. There may be Study Groups that would prefer to experience these materials in as little as a twelve week period — and those decisions are for each individual or group facilitator to make relative to their cocreational desires. Habits are usually created slowly. And since a major aspect of the value to you of using this material is the changing — often slowly — from unwanted habits of thought to habits of thought that are more appropriate to your current conscious desires — the most common use of this calendar will be as a joyous 365 day journey into a new world of leading edge thought and experience. You can begin experiencing the power of this calendar at any time throughout the year. You don’t have to wait until the first of next year. However, in order to get into time sequence with the calendar it is best to start at the beginning of any month. Just let the first day of your first month be day one (page three) of this calendar. After over 30 years of studying and teaching and enjoying the art of personal fulfillment, I have long understood the power of clarifying and writing out my decisions in appointment books, journals, organizers, etc. But as the years passed, I became aware that at the most joyous and highly productive segments of my life — I simply carried, daily, a fresh, updated sheet of paper in my pocket. This works! The second sides of the pages are designed to accommodate your daily list of things to do — but as the course progresses, you will discover that they will be offering processes and techniques to fit the advancing stages of your progression within these materials. Your only power to create your life is in this moment, and the Abraham-Hicks Daily Planning Calendar is designed to focus the purest of your intentions to your todays, the time in which you have your power. • The Abraham-Hicks Calendar/Workbook is a tool. Utilize it to create, and to teach others to create, the perfect (by your ever changing standards) adventure in living. • Use it as a medium of exchange: Exchange any habits of thought, word or action that no longer serve your best interests. Exchange them for bright fresh habits that are more appropriate to who you are in the current moment. • Exchange any patterns of interaction that are not allowing of each individual’s freedom, growth and joy — for ever changing cocreational interactions that allow the very best from every life you touch. • Exchange any restrictions to your flow of health, relationships, abundance...Exchange them for an open flow — to and through you — of all that you will come to see as your perfect state of Well-being. One day at a time you will be giving your attention to that which feels best to you, and you will, thereby, be creating for yourself the most progressively wonderful life that you can imagine. From our hearts, Jerry and Esther

“If you want to change what you are living, you only have to change the balance of your thought.” — Abraham

The Science of Deliberate Creation Abraham-Hicks Daily Planning Calendar and Study Group Workbook A 365 Day Course in Spiritual Practicality • The material in this calendar/workbook has been specifically intended as an experiential guide to comfortably change your balance of habits of thought to that which will enrich every aspect of your experience. • Begin in any month.

Fold them into your wallet or checkbook, or simply carry them in a pocket. On one side you will find life enriching reminders of some things you may have forgotten and on the other side you can write intentions, ideas, names, numbers...Post them on your mirror, refrigerator, the sun visor of your car... • Carry a seven day segment, or a vacation segment, with you when you are away from home. — Let the Magic Begin — SELF HELP FROM YOUR TOTAL SELF

Dear Jerry and Esther, My clients (I’m a psychotherapist) love the “Calendar/Workbook.” First it was A New Beginning I, A New Beginning II, Sara and the Foreverness of Friends of a Feather, and now it’s The Science of Deliberate Creation...what a magnificent progression of learning aids to supplement the dazzling Abraham events and tapes! I was excited when I heard about the planned calendar and study group workbook, but the completed project literally takes my breath away! This is a treasure! The wealth of so many beautifully stated truths makes us eager to participate in the accompanying exercises, and there is immense appreciation for the careful and loving effort with which each excerpt was thoughtfully selected from the vast body of Abraham knowledge, to be re-presented to us on these happy pages. The compact size is perfect...how easily the little folded pages slip into a wallet, or purse, or date book. This portable adventure in Spiritual Practicality is wonderfully userfriendly! The effect of this extra daily measure of Abraham Energy is truly stunning. Manifestation of our creations comes faster and faster. Life feels better and better. We all thank you, Jerry and Esther and Abraham, for this latest in an amazing assortment of tools for growth! With love, A.B. — NY

Love ❥ Appreciation ❥ Love Dear Jerry and Esther, Thank you so much for your wonderful teachings! If it is possible, I would appreciate a copy of Free at Last. My son is working on his teaching credential and plans to start a school for families. Last Spring I let the universe know I really wanted some enjoyable male company, and within a few days not only the arrival of a grandson, — but ten Buddhist monks for the weekend! Not what I had in mind, but exactly right! Warmly, L.L. — WA

Tape idea — a “Rave Tape” a tape solely made up of sequences when Abraham goes on an intense loud rave. I love it when Abraham gets all fired up and speaks in a really strident voice. I turn it up loud and yell back, “Yes! Yes! Yes!” If you don’t make one, I just may have to patch my own together. D.C. — Australia

Some Male Company

Thank you so much for the workshop in Albany. Being in Abraham’s presence was not only delicious, but it was also a visceral reminder of how to flow my Energy. Since then, I am noticing things that I am thinking about that don’t feel so good, and I am making the adjustments. It’s such a subtle thing, but it makes such an extraordinary difference in allowing my “cork” to float. I love your tapes. I go to order one or two and wind up ordering six. I get the six and listen to them and am inspired to order six more. Soon I will need a bigger apartment! This work is better than ice cream! Lots of love, E.P. — NY

Floating Her Cork

I was loaned your introduction tape a few months ago, and since then I have been hooked. I have read your book, A New Beginning, and listened to 6 other tapes, several times. I have been particularly struck by the tape on Law of Allowing, and I love the way Abraham explains the Laws of the Universe and how they affect our life experience. But what I enjoy as much as anything is the humor that is interjected in the discussions, which really helps to lighten up the atmosphere. Sometimes I find my self laughing over & over, thinking of some clever retort that has been offered by Abraham. I have my suspicions that the combination of Esther’s format and Abraham’s collective intelligence make for a witty duo that could rival any headliner act! This humor really helps us to relax and enjoy the learning, and you both are a joy to listen to. I’m very appreciative of your information and I will continue to have a good time, learning & laughing a lot Sincerely, M.S. — NY

Hooked On Fun

What an uplifting, joyous weekend I experienced with you and with Abraham and with the other people who decided to come! Thank you for answering the call of all those who are desiring this energy and information. Thank you for coming to Tallahassee. Thanking you in advance for coming back to Tallahassee again! I experienced a powerful, positive shift as a result of asking about “Radical Honesty.” Wow! Thanks! I really appreciate you! Love and joy, J.P. — FL

Tallahassee Appreciation

Thank you so much for the tapes. I listen to them almost every day on the way to work, and I’m choosing joy more and more! Saying “yes” more and more! It’s fantastic!

Yes, To A Rave Tape

Tears of Joy

Antonio. Listening to the last few minutes of the

more tapes. I’m surprising myself lately with how much I enjoy almost everything and how much I can handle when I’m enjoying it. With love, gratitude and appreciation, I remain. Sincerely, and eternally, H.S.P. — NY

The Rye weekend was so full of energy and excitement. Everyone I connected with felt it too. The performance—if I might call it that—is evolving meticulously into absolute perfection. The sound system is really great and I love the Madonna mike—a perfect hair accessory. Esther, you were a perfect vision speaking and moving so fluidly and beautifully—truly inspirational. At first the room felt overwhelming and then I began to feel the energy fill it up and embrace us all. I loved it when you were in the back taking notes, Jerry, because then I could see your reactions to what was going on. In Philadelphia I came to realize how important the connection between the two of you is to the experience. These performances, Rye in particular, are as radiant, entertaining and uplifting as any piece of performance art I’ve experienced—even more so because they’re so interactive—and done without all the embellishments of music, lights and special effects. I’ve been participating for only two years and have experienced a quantum expansion and refinement within the workshops, tapes and my own life. The Calendar is perfect. I wanted to begin using it the day I received it but I decided to follow the “instructions” (because they always work). So I’m leafing through it now and clarifying my focus so that when I begin on the first of the month I will be able to use it more effectively. I like the size, shape, format, introduction and wisdom contained in this easy-to-use workbook. It’s a great tool and I imagine it took a lot of clarity and focus. I really love it. Others at the workshop felt the same way and a couple of people decided to dive into it immediately. It is so good to be among so many people who are so excited in so many different ways about the same things. In conclusion: more tapes, more tapes,

A short note of appreciation for sharing your work with us. Being in a room with the Double Diamonds and Abraham was spectacular for me. It set the tone for a very successful conference. It was a momentous occasion. So, so many thank yous. Love, M.S. — NY

The Double Diamonds

Thank you so much, Abraham, Esther and Jerry for sharing this information so graciously. Your tapes and calendar have truly changed my life so tremendously in all aspects. I knew life was meant to be simple and joyous. Now my life is filled with more and more magic, more and more love, and more and more joy each day. I am experiencing true “Heaven on Earth!” Last year I experienced cancer, but now I can say that word “just like mustard!” With the deepest appreciation I send Love, Light and Laughter to you all. S.F. — CA

Heaven On Earth

I listened to the tape called The Law of Allowing that I borrowed from a friend. I had to have my own copy immediately! So I made a copy. Here is $10.00 for you to cover the price!! I have three friends who loan me tapes and two of those I introduced to Abraham, and we all just love the information. I’m also a student of Science of Mind and Edgar Cayce, and, lo and behold, they all say much of the same thing. Thanks, M.S. — CA

SPECIAL SUBJECT TAPES — VOL I Focused into our now — the only point in which we have the power to create — neither speculating into the future nor reminiscing into the historical past — ABRAHAM speaks, primarily, toward that practical information which we can personally learn to deliberately apply to our current experience and thereby gain beneficial results....From their broader perspective — unencumbered by your cultural beliefs — ABRAHAM reaches into a place, within you, of clear primal acknowledgement, from which you will repeatedly hear that enthused inner "voice" reminding you, "I knew that!" As you experience these Special Subject tapes, expect a fresh state of joyous becoming—for ABRAHAM'S words will stimulate you to a new beginning. Retain the beliefs that are of value to you, and learn to become unaffected by any acquired beliefs or influences that have been a hindrance. ABRAHAM guides us, first, to harmony with our Inner Being, and then all else falls into perfect alignment. In order to build a foundation of an understanding of Abraham’s teachings, begin with the tapes AB-1, Free Introduction To Abraham, through AB-6, Great Awakening and Blending, and then progress through the Special Subject Tapes Series—as per the order of your interest. Each tape addresses different levels of awareness, and as you repeatedly listen to them, as you are moving forward, you will continually be achieving new insights and experiences. Order a single at $9.95, 3 or more at $7.75, or order 5 or more, and receive a complimentary (while available) 12 space cassette album. Order any complete set of 10 tapes for only $77.50 (plus S/H)

AB-2 LAW OF ATTRACTION * — The most powerful Law in the universe. It affects every aspect of your daily life. A Law which is, whether you understand that it is or not. Specific processes are offered here to help you learn how to harness this Law — to get what you want. AB-3 LAW OF DELIBERATE CREATION * — Discover the ecstasy of understanding universal Laws which are absolute — no matter what the circumstances. Without an understanding of this universal Law, it is as if you are playing in a game where the rules are not understood, so it is not only impossible to know if what you are doing is appropriate, but you do not know how to win the game. The rules of the game of life are clearly offered here.

SPECIAL SUBJECT TAPES — VOL I AB-4 LAW OF ALLOWING * — Of all things that you will come to understand through this physical life experience, nothing is more important than to become an allower. In becoming an allower, you are free of the negativity that binds you. Learn the joyful difference between tolerating and allowing — and experience the blissful difference in every relationship you have. AB-5 SEGMENT INTENDING — Our futures are individually paved by the steady stream of thoughts we set forth. We are literally creating our future life as we direct our thoughts of this moment into the future. Discover the magnificent power you hold in this moment — and learn how to use that power always to your advantage. AB-6 GREAT AWAKENING, BLENDING — You have deliberately and excitedly chosen this time to be physical beings upon this planet, because you knew in advance that this would be the time when many — not all — physical beings would recognize the broadness and great value of their being. Follow this step-by-step process for awakening. AB-7 RELATIONSHIPS, AGREEMENTS — We are all creators as we individually think and plan, but we are also often co-creators as we interact with others. Most relationships with others are far less than we want them to be. Find out why. Discover how to rejuvenate unhealthy relationships and attract new harmonious ones. AB-8 BODILY CONDITIONS — Nothing is more important to us than the way we feel and look, and yet so many do not look or feel as they would like to. There is not a physical apparatus, no matter what the state of disrepair, that cannot have perfect health. Discover the powerful processes to bring your body to the state of being that pleases you. AB-9 CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS — While it can be satisfying to read and remember the teachings of the great ones who have gone before us, it is ever more joyous to discover the power of that knowledge within our own being. Learn the process to go within — as Christ encouraged — to experience the blissful oneness with Christ. AB-10 ADDICTIONS — Habits, or compulsions, or addictions can range from annoying to destroying. Often, long after they are no longer wanted, they can bind and control your life. As you listen to this recording — you will for the first time understand exactly what the addiction is, and the simple process offered here will free you from it. AB-11 JOYOUS SURVIVAL — While there are seemingly earth shattering events occurring in greater frequency upon your planet, you need not be affected by them. Discover how to create and control your experience in this seemingly unstable environment.

SPECIAL SUBJECTS TAPES — VOL II AB-12 PIVOTING & POSITIVE ASPECTS * — If I am the "Creator of my own experience", why don't I have more of what I want? Fostered by an action oriented world, most of you do not understand your true nature of attraction, thus the confusion in why you are getting what you are getting. These processes of pivoting and the book of positive aspects will assist you in the self-discovery of what is important to you, and will put you in the strong, clear place of well-being, so that you can allow what you want into your experience. AB-13 SEXUALITY — Love, sensuality and the perfect sexual experience — pleasure vs. shame. This misunderstood issue lies at the heart of more disruption in the lives of physical beings than any other issue. Discover the true nature of your being, and release yourself from the negative turmoil that surrounds the subject of sexuality. AB-14 DEATH — Aging, deterioration and the perfect death experience — choices vs. chances. The gathering of years is a natural experience. However, deterioration of your physical body is neither natural nor necessary. Be healthy and productive and active and happy until the very day of your chosen re-emergence into the nonphysical. AB-15 DOLLARS — Abundance, in perfect flow — gaining the freedom that dollars can bring vs. losing your freedom while gaining your dollars. As there is an abundance of the air you breathe, so there is an abundance of the dollars you seek. Listen and learn how to relax and breathe in the fresh air of freedom offered to you through the abundant flow of dollars. AB-16 HEALTH, WEIGHT & MIND — The perfect states of weight, health and mind — how can I get there and stay there? Diet plans abound and research continues and yet the number of those unsuccessful at maintenance of satisfactory bodily and mental conditions increases steadily. Understand how your body functions and why you are as you are — and then begin your swift and steady progress toward that which you desire. AB-17 MATING — The perfect mate: getting one, being one, evoking one — Attracting vs. attacking. While it is your natural endeavor to cocreate with others, there are few who have discovered the bliss of magnificent relationships. Find out how you can experience the joy of a perfect union. AB-18 PARENTING — Perfect harmony between my children and me — and me and my parents. Harmonizing vs. traumatizing. While often disconnected from parents, either by death or by distance, your parent/child relationships often have great influence in your experience with your children or with your current life experience. Learn how to perceive what has been in a way that is beneficial to your now rather than destructive. Let that which you have lived be of value.

SPECIAL SUBJECT TAPES — VOL II AB-19 CAREER — The perfect career. What, where and when is it — and what can I do about it now? With so many exterior standards or rules regarding the appropriateness of your behavior or choices — in most cases more confusion than clarity abounds. Use this process to discover and attract that which is perfect for you. Stop the futile backwards approach — and begin creating from the inside out. AB-20 SELF APPRECIATION — If I am so "Perfect as I am" — then why don't I feel better about me than I do? Selfishness vs. selflessness. Your awareness of your perfection was intact as you emerged into this physical body, but it was soon sabotaged by the critical, comparing, judgmental world that surrounded you. Rediscover your true sense of value and wellbeing and perfection. AB-21 INNER GUIDANCE — Tell me more about my Inner Voice? Because you have thought in terms of being dead or alive, you forget that you are, simultaneously, physically focused while another part of you remains focused from nonphysical perspective. Once remembering that the inner you exists, you may begin to listen to what your Inner Voice is offering. Here is the process for re-establishing that important conscious connection.

A Review of Sara and the Foreverness of Friends of a Feather, by Denise Tarsitano in the “Rising Star Series, Summer 1996” catalog: Here is an inspiring as well as inspired book about a child’s experiential journey into unlimited joyousness. Sara is a shy, withdrawn ten year old girl who is not very happy with her life. She has an obnoxious brother who constantly teases her, cruel and unfeeling classmates, and an apathetic attitude towards her schoolwork. In short, she represents a lot of kids in our society today. When I first read this book, I was struck by the similarities between Sara and my ten year old. Sara is really a composite of all children. Sara wants to feel good and happy and loving but as she looks around, she doesn’t find much to feel that way about. This all changes when she meets Solomon, a wise old owl, who shows her how to see things differently through the eyes of unconditional love. He teaches Sara how to always be in an atmosphere of pure, positive energy. Sara sees for the first time who she really is and her unlimited potential. You, as the reader, will realize this is so much more than a children’s story but a blueprint for attaining the joy and happiness that are your birthright. My whole family read this book and we haven’t been the same since. My husband, perhaps, was the most moved by it. He actually said that it had such a tremendous impact on him that he looks at life with new eyes. It’s like being nearsighted your whole life and then finally getting glasses. Everything becomes crystal clear. I cannot say enough good things about this life-transforming book. You will share in Sara’s ups and downs on the way to greater heights of fulfillment and know that there is a Sara in all of us. If there is only one book you ever buy, make sure it is this one. You won’t regret it! (all ages). Softcover. $15.00 ISBN 0-9621219-4-0

A Synopsis of Abraham-Hicks’ Teachings • • • • • • • • • • • •

You are a Physical Extension of that which is Non-physical. You are here in this body because you chose to be here. The basis of your life is Freedom; the purpose of your life is Joy. You are a creator; you create with your every thought. Anything that you can imagine is yours to be or do or have. You are choosing your creations as you are choosing your thoughts. The Universe adores you; for it knows your broadest intentions. Relax into your natural Well-being. All is well. (Really it is!) You are a creator of thoughtways on your unique path of joy. Actions to be taken and money to be exchanged are by-products of your focus on joy. You may appropriately depart your body without illness or pain. You can not die; you are Everlasting Life.

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!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS “Why Bad Dreams?”

trained to pay attention to your vibration — but you have been trained to be objective, trained to give your attention to things. You have been trained to give your attention to people in authority and to listen when somebody says, “This is important.” You have been trained to see something that is wrong and push against it. There’s a war against drugs and a war against poverty and a war against crime and a war against all kinds of things. And in each of those scenarios, as you are looking at this thing that you do not want and pushing against it — you are not pushing it away, but instead you are holding it in your vibration. So, as physical beings who have been trained to do just about everything other than be sensitive to your vibration, most of you are including all kinds of things in your vibration that you don’t know you’re including. But, you’re here in this physical time/place reality because you are Creators. And the manifestation isn’t only to delight you — the physical manifestation is to help you know how you’re flowing your Energy. When something happens in your experience, instead of getting so worried about it, because it’s temporary, anyway — there it went again, there it went again — you can’t hold it in your now, anyway...Why you get so upset over things that manifest in real life, or in dream state, is illogical. Those manifestations are only temporarily there to give you a reading on how you’ve been vibrating — and if you don’t like it, change the way you’ve been vibrating. But, because most of you are observers you don’t look at it that way. You’ve been trained to face reality, haven’t you? You’ve been trained to tell it like it is. And so, if you’re giving a lot of attention to what-is, then you’re giving a lot of vibrational output about what-is. And what is the Universe

JERRY: Something I don’t understand. I’ve heard you mention that when we go to sleep that we go back in harmony with our Core vibration, that joyous purity... ABRAHAM: So why a bad dream, eh? JERRY: Okay, good! I didn’t even have to ask the question. ABRAHAM: Well, for brevity’s sake we decided to read your mind. (Fun!) Have you heard the scientists say that what feels to you like a dream that took place all night, actually takes place in seconds? As you are going out of consciousness or back into consciousness...But at different depths of your sleep state, you are translating through your physical conscious format. And so, that dream that you think you dreamed is just your interpretation of the Energy. A dream scenario can be beneficial in helping you, as Deliberate Creators, to understand your vibrational output. Hold this thought: It’s the formula for creating, and it says, “What I’m thinking and feeling, and what I’m getting — is always a vibrational match.” So to break that down a little more clearly, “What I’m outputting vibrationally and what the Universe is delivering back to me in terms of a manifestation is always a vibrational match. Always. Without exception.” A dreamscape or a dream scenario is a manifestation. It’s not a manifestation that is big and bold and present in your experience as a real life manifestation — but it is a manifestation. So what you’re dreaming is a vibrational match to what you’re outputting. You see, most physical beings are not aware of their vibration. You haven’t been

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS doing? It’s matching your vibrational output. It always does. There’s no such thing as exclusion. There is only inclusion. More simply, there’s no such thing as no. There is only yes. When you see something that you want, and you say “yes” to it, you’re including something that you want in your vibration. But when you see something you don’t want, and you say “no” to it, you’re including something you don’t want in your vibration. Whatever you’re giving your attention to, you’re including. So, as you watch the television, you say, “No. No. Don’t want that. Get it away. What if this happens?” You’re including every bit of that in your vibration — and it might turn up in a dream. The dream is there to show you that what you’re vibrating, often without meaning to, you are still including in your mix. And so, the dream is a manifestation that says to you, “Look, this is what you’re vibrating. Keep it up, and it may be a bigger part of your experience.” Not just in the dream. Or it may become a recurring dream, or not just a recurring dream, it may start showing up in the people around you or in the experiences around you — because, what you’re vibrating and what you are living are always a vibrational match. You have an enormous amount of leeway, but once it starts turning up in your dreams it’s a pretty good indicator that it’s been pretty heavily a part of your vibration. Helpful?

ABRAHAM: Is he teaching you a lot? That was the plan. Are you staying out of his way? That was his plan, too. GUEST: I’m doing my best. Trying to, and that’s my intention. For the last six months, Dan and I have become very clear that we would like to get more sleep. And there’s a lot of thought out in the masses about this, and I’m just wondering...How much of it is that we’re tapping into that? That you don’t get enough sleep as new parents. How much of it is that I need to redefine what I believe about how much sleep I need and when I need it? ABRAHAM: Well certainly both of those factors are a big part of all of this. How many hours a day do you think your baby sleeps? GUEST: I’m not sure. Twelve, maybe. ABRAHAM: And so, is he sleeping a great deal during the day and then not wanting to sleep at night? Well, wake him up. (Fun!) In other words, most of you need far less sleep than you think you do, and sleep is actually a mechanism of escape and sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious. As we said earlier, when you slumber, you are no longer consciously focused here — and when you are no longer consciously focused in the physical realm, your cork raises to the surface again. Your vibration raises. So the reason for sleep is for the alignment of Energy, and the idea that you need a lot of sleep is not true at all. You would all be better off if you would sleep for a couple of hours and get up and do something and sleep for a couple of hours and get up and do something.

JERRY: Sure is. Thank you.

Parents Want More Sleep GUEST: We have a six-month old son and it’s been an amazing experience.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Two segments of two hours would satisfy any of you if you were using slumber in the way you’ve intended. But most of you are using slumber to try to keep yourself from having to do something you don’t want to do, anyway. There is nothing, in all of the Universe, more delicious than to have an object of attention that you’re focused upon and you be in physical, vibrational alignment with your object of attention. To have Nonphysical Energy, the same Energy that creates worlds, flowing through you toward your object of attention, nothing is better than that. And if you were doing that on a regular basis, you would never want to sleep. And so, if you are wanting to sleep, it’s usually because you’re pushing against some things, Your tiredness is always and only about resistance. It’s about that contradiction in Energy.

the nap time if you can. The baby may have his days and nights mixed up a bit, sleeping more in the day and then ready to romp and play in the night so... GUEST: It’s more just not a deep sleep and waking up to nurse a lot. Fussiness. He’s not going into that deep sleep. ABRAHAM: Have you ever tried to sleep twelve hours, and then tried to sleep more than twelve hours? Just toy with it a little bit. You’ll find your balance in it. You cannot find the place of more rest from the feeling place of not getting enough rest. Everything is about vibration. The Universe is responding to your vibrational output. Well, you can tell what you’re vibrational output is by the way you feel. So what you feel and what you are outputting are the same thing. So if you are feeling sleep deprivation. Kind of ornery. Kind of achey. Kind of uncomfortable and not rested. And you’re saying, “I want, or I need, more sleep,” you can’t get there from there. So what you have to do is remember what it feels like to wake up from a good night’s sleep. “It feels so good to wake up and have my body feel alert and eager. It feels so good to just sort of come awake naturally and gradually and just sort of slowly move into the day. It feels so good to feel that exhilaration of being alive and eagerness to get going on some projects...” Something that will really help you is if you are doing a little prepaving, and prepaving means setting forth the thought. Imagine it in advance. So let’s say tonight when you go to bed or even this afternoon before you go to bed, for 17 seconds, maybe 17 seconds two or three times, you imagine or

JERRY: Then why do babies sleep? ABRAHAM: A baby, initially, is slumbering a great deal, often twenty or twenty-two hours a day in the very early days because the baby is transitioning from the higher, purer vibration into the lower, slower vibration. And so, he is sleeping, literally, for selfpreservation. He is taking a little dose of your lower, slower negative Energy a little bit at a time. But once he acclimates, he doesn’t want to sleep nearly as much as you want him to, and that’s why parents struggle so much with their children. It is because you want them to do something that is not natural to them. That’s why those early years that you call the formative years... Those are the years in which you trample out their intuitive knowing. There are two things that we would do. We would encourage you to shorten

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS remember what it’s like to wake up fully rested. Well, if you’ve really found the feeling place of that, that’s not saying that your baby may not awaken, because it probably will because that’s the habit that’s in motion. But you probably won’t feel resistance when it happens, and it will probably be a shorter time awake, and you’ll probably go back to sleep more easily and you’ll probably still wake up more rested.

raises. Well, when you meditate, the same thing happens. Your vibration raises. So what happens is, if there’s something that you really want and you are asleep, you are not attracting while you are asleep. But, your Inner Being knows that you are really wanting it. So your Inner Being watches for a time when your vibration is absolutely neutral. When there’s no resistance. You are in vibrational harmony with your Core Energy, and you will be alerted to wake state. So when you wake up, in that place of not pushing against, if you would take that opportunity then to think about what you want and why you want it — you could, from that more powerful place, direct your Energy toward your object of attention. It’s a powerful time. And so, you may discover that you may be waking up quite often now that we have... And when you do, recognize that it’s a good thing not a bad thing. “It is my opportunity in a place of pure Energy to refocus and restate what I am wanting.” The other thing that we would encourage you to do, if you are in this position of not getting enough sleep...Look for other opportunities to soothe yourself: In the middle of the day, get off if you can, and quiet your mind. Soothe yourself more by sitting with a cup of something that you like to eat or drink. Soak your feet more often, or take a nice bath more often. Look for other ways to soothe yourself. Because that’s all sleeping is. It’s a soothing — and you don’t have to be asleep to get soothed. Have you heard scientists, or other physical beings, talk about hypnosis and how a little bit of hypnosis is like many hours of slumber? And people who have been under hypnosis will tell you how

GUEST: What I’ve been doing is focusing or imagining him sleeping, which he was asleep last night, I woke up and I couldn’t go back to sleep. So I’m focusing on him and not on my restfulness. ABRAHAM: We want to give you a little key to something. When you awaken for no apparent reason — there may be a good reason for it. Esther will find herself awakened, and she will say, “I wonder why I’m awake? Did I hear a sound? Why am I awake?” We say, it doesn’t matter. The fact that you are awake means that there is value for you in this moment. When you come forth into your physical perspective from your Nonphysical Perspective, you have an eagerness about everything. That is the reason that we ask you if you’re learning a great deal from your little one, because there is that eagerness for that physical experience. After you’ve been here for a while, you tend to sort of amass things that you are pushing against. And as you hold these things that you do not want, then it is more difficult for you to find vibrational harmony with what you do want. Earlier we said that when you slumber, you stop focusing, and your “cork” raises to the surface, so to speak. Your vibration

book: a new beginning I This extraordinary book is powerfully offered by a group of teachers who call themselves Abraham. They express clearly and simply the laws of the universe, explaining in detail how we can deliberately flow with these laws for the joyful creation of whatever we desire. Abraham describes this as the time of awakening, explaining that each of us chose, with very deliberate intent, this specific time of great change to participate in this physical experience.

We encourage you to play with spending 17 seconds on any topic. If you hold any thought, positive or negative, wanted or not wanted, if you hold a thought purely for 17 seconds, that at the 17 second point, another thought just like it joins it. And as these two thoughts coalesce, there is a combustion. And as these two thoughts combust, they are parlayed into one more evolved, faster vibrating thought. And when it happens, you feel it. It feels like heightened interest or enthusiasm. If you hold that, now more evolved, thought for another 17 seconds, then when you cross that 34 second mark, the same thing happens. Another thought like the more evolved thought now joins it, and there’s another combustion point. Only this time, it moves much further than it did the first time, because the two thoughts that combined were bigger to begin with. Purely hold a thought for 17 seconds until it combusts and another thought joins it, and the Energy in that combustion is equivalent to 2,000 action hours. If you work a normal 40 hour a week job, that’s about what you work in a year. 17 seconds of pure thought, allowing the combustion, gives you that much Energy. Your action is not very important by comparison. Cross the 34 second mark, and you can multiply your action by ten. That’s 20,000 action hours. Cross the 51 second mark, and you can multiply by ten again. That’s 200,000 action hours. If you can hold a thought, purely, without contradicting it, until you cross the 68 second mark — that’s just four times 17 — you can multiply by ten again. That’s over 2,000,000 action hour equivalent. We’re talking about accessing the Energy that Creates worlds. And the reason that it is not fathomable to most of you is that most of you don’t make it past the eight second mark without contradicting your desire.

Pickiness & Thoughts Imagine that you are going on a road trip and you’re going to drive eight or nine hours, and a friend of yours, a teenager, has lovingly loaned you a bag of his cassettes tapes, music tapes, and he has a very wide, diverse interest in music. And so, the first tape you pop into your player in your car is hard metal rock music, and as you hear it twanging, it sets you on edge. You can feel right away that it’s not a match to your mood or your taste in music, can’t you? Well, would you feel obliged to hear it out? Or would you pop that bugger out of there and reach for something else? You can tell by the way you feel when you’ve found your musical match, can’t you? And all thoughts are that way. We want you to be as discriminating about your thoughts as you are about your music or about the food you eat or about the car you drive. We see you picky in many areas, and we want you to extend that pickiness to thought. Make a decision that nothing is more important than that you feel good, so that you are more selectively sifting through the data of your memory or the data of your observation.

Have one singular intent, and that is to find a vibration that is worthy of the vibration of your Core. Find something that matches, because when it matches, Well-being must be your experience. It can be no other way.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS rested they feel? And often, the hypnotist will leave that suggestion. In other words, he will say, “You will awaken fully rested, and you will feel as if you had a full eight hours sleep.” Well, haven’t you ever wondered why that’s possible, when he hasn’t had eight hours sleep? It’s because in that mindset, there has not been resistance, and so, the Energies of his body have been allowed to align. And so, the refueling or the realignment or the Energy infusion is taking place. You never did need slumber. You could go without slumber if you could hold yourself in a place of Pure Positive Energy.

with it, and, all of a sudden, you find harmony with the decision, and you start to feel the Energy run through you, and it feels so good. And you say, “Ah, I feel good. I’m in harmony with my decision.” As you play with this a little while, you will find yourself eager for the contrast that gives you reason to want — and then eager for exposure to more data which lets you test your harmony or disharmony with your decision. Friends, this is what molding Energy is. The difference that you are looking for, and the difference that we want so much for you to hear is, there is a big difference between seeing contrast and not wanting that and preferring this, and in turning your full attention to what you don’t want and trying to get rid of that. What keeps happening to you is that, in your misunderstanding, you push against the part you do not want, and then it envelops you. And then you feel not powerful. And then you feel that there are adversaries and other things out there that are controlling your experience. But when you discover the art of “yesing, yes-ing, yes-ing.” Never again saying “no” to anything. In other words, just long enough to identify what the “yes” is, but “yes-ing” your way through physical experience. In your “yes-ing”, you connect to the Stream. The Nonphysical promise to you is, “Ask and it shall be given.” And the answer is always, “yes.” We have enjoyed this interaction immensely. There is great love here for you. We are complete. Excerpted from Group Session

The Answer is Yes! Let us give you a sort of scenario of the way we see this physical experience and this delightful exposure to contrast that you are all a part: How wonderful it is to live some contrast that brings you to a place where you say, “I want this.” And we say, oh, it is so good, because if the contrast didn’t exist, you would not come to that focused place of saying, “I want this.” The decision is so powerful. So then, imagine, coming to the decision but not having the habit of being a vibrational match to the decision. So the decision is not comfortable. You’re sort of wiggling around in it. You came to the decision with good reason, but you can’t find harmony with it — but you want to. And so, you just monkey around

Contrasting Stick Ends

Your work is to achieve vibrational harmony with your own desire, and that’s why you must begin to play games of visualization.

You have been so trained to weigh the pluses and the minuses, the pros and the cons, that in your learned objectivity, you rarely, if ever, cross the 17 second mark holding any thought that matters. In every particle of the Universe there is that which is wanted and lack of it. And so, when you pick up the stick that has wellness on one end — it has illness on the other end. Do you know it’s a really rare one of you that we hear saying the word “wellness” or “health” or “Well-being” that we don’t feel in your vibration exactly the opposite? In other words, you’re using the word to try to compensate. You don’t mean to, but the reason that you do it is because when you were very little and you learned these words, you not only learned the way the word sounded or how to use the word in the sentence or how to make the word with your mouth — you learned the way the word felt from the people around you who were using the word.

emotions that are your clear-cut Guidance saying to you, “Hey, you’re not, in this moment, in vibrational harmony with your own desire.” And that’s when your work begins. When you identify and hold your thought, purely, on any topic for 17 seconds, it is enough to set the Universe into motion. And the Universe — which has infinite ability and resources to match the vibration of your being — will do so. Now, it’s happening all of the time, anyway, but most of you are not making the correlation. It isn’t until you deliberately hold a thought and then see the Universal response to it that you really begin to understand what’s going on. Play these games of visualization for a few days. It will be such fun for you, and if you will do it, it will give you two very important things. First, it will show you that you can hold a thought for 17 seconds. That’s a “biggee”, bigger than you know. And the other is, it will show you that the Universe will absolutely, every time, respond to the purity of your thought. Very good.

Vibrational Vocabulary When your mother was talking about money, because you wanted some and she was explaining to you that there wasn’t enough money...when you overheard them talking about money, you learned the word — and you subliminally learned the vibration of the word. So now, when you offer the word, money, you often offer a vibration that is not in harmony with your desire but in vibrational harmony with what you once learned. So then, when you introduce a desire... When you say, “I really want something that costs more money,” and your belief about money is not up to speed with your desire, you feel the contradiction. You feel the disappointment. You feel the worry. You feel those negative

VARIOUS SERVICES AND PRODUCTS Workshops & Weekends Discuss whatever you are wanting to more clearly understand, ie: Your state of becoming. Finances. Bodily conditions. Relationships. Business/Career. Metaphysicality. Your state of being/having/doing.... To participate in an open group conference with ABRAHAM, contact Abraham-Hicks Publications at (830) 755-2299 for dates, locations, reservations, etc. Conference fees vary with location, duration and materials. • ...My experience with ABRAHAM has provided me with hours and hours of feeling good. ABRAHAM is so patient and loving—with no hint of judgement...I feel so safe and cared about when speaking to ABRAHAM....It is a message of hope and self-empowerment...such a small cost to me for the service you have so lovingly provided.— Montana • ...Since receiving ABRAHAM’S Free Introductory Tape, I’ve listened to it 3 or 4 times. It is concise and very recreatable both in my life and in my work as a consultant...I wanted to thank you for so much value in this one small tape. I am impressed and moved...Enclosed is my first “real” order.—Texas Weekly Tape Program For those who want to learn as much as they can “to be and have and do” as fast as they can— and are not in the position to personally attend ABRAHAM’S ever evolving gatherings—we offer this Weekly Tape Program: We choose, each week, what we consider to be, the 3 hour session with the most stimulating, practical new ideas—or significant ideas presented from a new perspective—and we form a 90 minute composite tape and ship it to our subscribers. Four cassettes equal one month’s billing. Fill your spare moments with upliftment, flow and forward motion. Subscription fee: $41.00 per month (or $10.25 per week). • ...Enjoy your tapes and appreciate all that is coming through. I have an ABRAHAM tape playing whenever I drive in my car, and it sets a positive state of emotion for the day. Thank you. E.S. Monthly Tape Program We select and edit, from as many as 20 new Group Session Tapes that ABRAHAM produces in a month, a 90 minute cassette—of what we feel contains the most new, inspiring and thought provoking material—and we ship that 90 minute composite tape to the subscribers to the Monthly Tape Program. A gift that keeps on giving. Subscription fee: $12.00 per month. • ...I’m getting thirsty for more of ABRAHAM, so, enclosed, please find a check for a one-year subscription to the Monthly Tape Program. One of these days I hope to make it out to Texas again to re-experience the exuberance and exhilaration in person—in the meantime, I find the tapes of endless value...Every time I replay any one of those tapes I have, I realize that it has a whole new meaning for me and offers ever changing insights. What a great way to start the day! My profound gratitude to you for sharing this wonderful way of life. — New Jersey

ABOUT THE AUTHORS Excited about the clarity and practicality of the translated word from ABRAHAM, Jerry and Esther Hicks began, in 1986, disclosing their ABRAHAM experience to a handful of close business associates. Then, recognizing the practical results being received by those persons who began plying ABRAHAM with meaningful personal questions regarding their finances, bodily conditions, and relationships...the Hickses made a conscious decision to allow ABRAHAM’S teachings to become Esther & Jerry Hicks available to an ever widening circle of seekers. And that circle continues to expand — even as you read this page. Jerry and Esther have now published more than 150 Abraham-Hicks books, cassettes and videos, and have been presenting open group interactive workshops in about 40 cities a year to those who gather to participate in this progressive stream of thought. Although worldwide attention has been given by leading edge thinkers to this Science of Deliberate Creation who, in turn, incorporate many of ABRAHAM’S concepts into their books, lectures, sermons, screenplays, scripts...the primary spread of this material has been from person to person — as individuals begin to discover the value of these materials in their practical, personal experience. ABRAHAM, a group of obviously evolved teachers, speak their broader Non-physical perspective through the physical apparatus of Esther. Speaking to our level of comprehension, from their present moment to our now, through a series of loving, allowing, brilliant yet comprehensively simple, recordings in print and in sound — they guide us to a clear connection with our Inner Being — they guide us to self-upliftment from our total self. COMMENTS FROM READERS & LISTENERS: ...It’s hard to believe that life could be so simple and so joyous and that it could take me so many years to find out how to do it...So, thank you, so much, for making an already good life even better! (With lots of good feelings) SC — PA ...I’ve been a “searcher,” “seeker,” “sharer” since I was a teen. My middle name was purported to be “Why?” The information from Abraham is so down-to-earth, useful, compelling, exciting, sensible, practical, empowering, clear, usable. I’m a marvelous deliberate creator now. Thanks for putting the “fun” back into physical life. JS — AZ ...Am so delighted to be reading your books, listening to your tapes, attending your seminars and talking to each of you on the phone. I am so happy and getting happier and clearer every day. My life has been leading to this point, and it feels like the icing on the cake. I know everything will just get better, although it’s hard to know how. What a powerful gift you’ve given us — the recognition of our ability to create the life we want, and the tools to carry out the plan. Thank you for sharing. — CA

We do love receiving your messages , and reading your letters and notes that come by the thousands! We are currently set up to comfortably process workshops and orders for Free Introduction tapes, brochures, albums, books, etc., because we have been able to add other minds and hands for that. But we can't add more Jerry or Esther or hours to a day.
