The Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham

by Esther Hicks

For as you intend and receive, you will not only receive the benefit of that which you have created, but you will also receive a new perspective from which your intentions will be different. That is what evolution and growth are about.

The steady offering of details of illness is very influential in the increasing of sickness in your society.

Now that I understand the power of the Law of Attraction, things have changed. It isn’t necessary for me to experience the flu this year. It isn’t necessary for me to experience anything that I don’t want.

It’s possible for me to direct my thoughts toward things I do want to experience. I like the idea of guiding my life to things that I do want to experience.

It is not possible to push things that you do not want away from you, because in your pushing against them you are actually activating the vibration of them and therefore attracting them.

“Resist ye not evil” would also be spoken by someone wise enough to understand that what humans call “evil” does not exist.

It gets tricky when humans get involved in the wanting of others, and even trickier when they attempt to control the desires of others.

So when they say, “I don’t know what I want,” what they really mean is, “I don’t know how to get what I want,” or “I’m not willing to do what I think I need to do to try to get what I want,” and “I really don’t want to work so hard again only to have the discomfort of still not getting what I want!”

We would recommend that if you hear of an assault, you say, “That is their experience. I do not choose that.” And then release the thought of what you do not want, and think of what you do want, because you get what you think about, whether you want it or not.

it is his attention to the subject of the prejudice that attracts his trouble.

The shy man attracts an outgoing woman because his intention is to be more outgoing, so he is actually attracting the subject of his intention.

It is our encouragement that you take the time to imagine those people in a better situation. Practice the thought of their success and happiness in your own mind, and once that is the dominant vibration that you hold about them, then offer whatever inspired action you now feel.

“Which is superior, giving or receiving?” The question is “Which is superior, focusing upon what is wanted or upon what is unwanted?”

want financial prosperity! There are so many wonderful things that are readily available in this wonderful world, and financial prosperity opens the door to so many of those things. Since the Law of Attraction responds to my thoughts, I have decided to focus predominantly upon the abundance that is possible, understanding that it is only a matter of time before my thoughts of prosperity will be matched by the flow of financial prosperity. Since the Law of Attraction will bring me the object of my attention, I choose abundance.

Abraham: I want great relationships. I so enjoy nice, clever, funny, energetic, stimulating people, and I love knowing that this planet is abundant with them.I have met so many interesting people, and I love the discovery

love knowing that joy is simply a choice. So, since my expansion is inevitable, I choose to have all of it—in joy.

and there is a great difference between that which we have spoken and the way most of the world is going about it.

your willingness to pay attention to the way you feel will help you more deliberately choose the direction of your thought.

“I want money to support my lifestyle,”

Many around you want to point out “reality” to you. They say, “Face the facts. Look at what-is. ” And we say to you, if you are able to see only what-is—then, by the Law of Attraction, you will create only more of what-is. . . . You must be able to put your thoughts beyond what-is in order to attract something different or something more.

if the wanting is great enough, beliefs can be overridden.

First there is thought, then thought-form, then manifestation.

There is not a need to prove anything to anyone with your words.Let that which you are—that which you are living—be your clear example to uplift others.

it started with a little negative thought. Then more thoughts were drawn unto it, more people were drawn unto it, more conversation was drawn unto it, until it became a very powerful, as you say, downward spiral.

for resources, for the resources are unlimited. You may deprive yourself of receiving them, and therefore perceive a shortage, but it is really of your own making.

They are that which they are, creators of their own life experience, attracting unto themselves, while I am creator of my experience, attracting unto me.That is the Art of Allowing..

your dominant intent will be to look for those things that you want to

Earth who would like to take from you everything that you have, we say to you that they cannot. Unless you invite them through your thought, aggressors will not be part of your experience.

Your Inner Being cannot respond in thought at the same time that you are transmitting a thought, and so, your Inner Being has agreed to offer you a feeling so that you can know the appropriateness of what you are feeling, speaking, or doing in the context of your greater or broader intentions.

want, I intend, I expect,”

Do not give thought to those things that you do not want, and you will not have them in your experience. Do not speak of that which you do not want, and you will not attract it into your experience.

do not want them to do, you give your attention to that. You get angrier about it, you get more upset about it, and by the Law of Attraction, you attract more of the essence of that,

I intend to see; I want to see; I expect to see, no matter who I am working with, no matter who I am talking with, no matter where I am, no matter what I am doing . . . I intend to see that which I want to see,

And so, if you are unhappy, you will attract more of that which makes you unhappy. Whereas if you feel good, you will attract more that you consider to be good.

you are the creator of your experience, and there is nothing in your experience that you have not invited,

It is important that you identify when you are moving from one segment, and therefore from one set of intentions—into another.

If you have not prepaved and you are not deliberately intending in this segment, then you are living life by default, and so, the possibility of being swept up in the confusion or intentions of someone else is likely.

Literally, the way you feel is your point of attraction.

While I’m lying here in my bed, I’m intending to have a clear picture of this day. I’m intending to become exhilarated and excited about this day.

I intend to acknowledge my wonderful body and to feel appreciation for the magnificent way it functions.I intend to be efficient in my grooming and to bring myself to looking my best.

I will select and prepare this wonderful, nutritious food efficiently. I will relax and eat it in joy, allowing my wonderful body to digest and process it perfectly. I will choose the food that is best for my physical body at this point in time. I will be replenished and refreshed by this food.

Recognize that everyone you meet is not deliberate in their intending, but know that by your deliberate intending, you will be in control of your life experience; and you will not be swept up by their confusion, or by their intent or influence.

You are not a puppet acting out that which has been intended before. You have the choice, in every moment, to decide what is most appropriate from your ever-evolving perspective, for you have grown beyond that which you were as you emerged into this body—for this life experience has already added unto that perspective.

When you really, really want something, it comes to you very fast. When you really, really do not want something, it comes to you very fast. The idea of Segment Intending is to set forth your thought of what you want, focusing upon it clearly enough, in this moment, that you bring forth emotion about it.Your clarity brings the speed.
