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

by Esther Hicks

You set forth, before you emerged, an agreement that communication with your Inner Being would exist. And it was agreed that it would be a feeling, one that could not be missed, rather than a stimulation of thought or an offering of words that could be missed.

So, it is not necessary for you to monitor your thoughts. Simply be sensitive to the way you are feeling, and anytime you feel negative emotion, recognize that you are—in the moment of that feeling—miscreating. In the moment of that negative feeling, you are thinking a thought of something you do not want, thereby attracting the essence of it into your experience. Creation is the process of attraction; when you think a thought, you attract the subject of your thought.

The Art of Allowing, which says, I am that which I am, and I am willing to allow all others to be that which they are, is the Law that will lead you to total freedom—freedom from any experience that you do not want, and freedom from any negative response to any experience that you do not approve of.

When you are looking for a solution, you are feeling positive emotion—but when you are looking at a problem, you are feeling negative emotion.

If you see friends who are experiencing illness, try to imagine them well. Notice that when you focus upon their illness, you feel bad; but when you focus upon their possible recovery, you feel good. By focusing upon their Well-Being, you allow your connection to your Inner Being, who also sees them well, and you may then influence your friend to improvement.

As you are healthy, you may stimulate their desire for health. As you are prosperous, you may stimulate their desire for prosperity. Let your example uplift them. Let what is in your heart uplift them. You will uplift others when your thought feels good to you. . . .
