This book explains why in many ways – but one point that stuck with me is that often times, we are not giving our attention to what we desire but rather to the lack of what we desire. So, of course, the standard argument is “Hey – I'm thinking about winning the lottery, or that new house, or that new car. The Law of AttractionĪs in the book The Secret, Ask and It Is Given begins by explaining the Law of Attraction. I say fortunately because the information within was a delightful treat.Īsk and It Is Given is written so conversationally and with such wisdom that I practically highlighted every word. My CPA mind, green eyeshade and all – was going all – alert! alert! this does not compute.įortunately, this book came highly recommended and I was able to squash my doubts and dig in. Imagine my surprise (and maybe yours too) when I learned that Abraham was actually a spiritual guide that channeled himself (themselves) through Esther.ĪND that the book is actually written by Abraham while he channeled himself through Esther. Logically, I figured that he was probably Esther and Jerry Hicks' son or something like that – but that wasn't the case at all! So, naturally, I wondered who Abraham was. You see, the cover of the book Ask and It Is Given mentions “The Teachings of Abraham” – and in fact, I have heard the name Abraham-Hicks mentioned in conjunction with this book. But given that my mind is starting to open to these types of teachings – my inner skeptic was definitely activated as I read the beginning of this book.
