The Law of Attraction seems to be an over-used term.
But it is affecting us and it is working with us all the time – whether we believe or or not; whether we are aware of it or not.
In it’s simplicity – we are told to “get happy” – to feel good in order to vibrate with our higher good and circumstances.
Esther Hicks has in the past used the analogy of going with the stream – dropping the oars of resistance and going with the flow.
I like that analogy – but I also like her teaching of the Vortex.
You can just imagine this swirl of energy attracting and creating and calling to you to align with it. I think you’ll find it to be a wonderful and useful imagery.
The Vortex helps one to fully grasp an image of what the Law of Attraction is about.
Includes a BONUS CD on the Law of Attraction!
This Leading Edge work by Esther and Jerry Hicks, who present The Teachings of Abraham, will help you understand every relationship you are currently involved in as well as every relationship you have ever experienced.
This book uncovers a myriad of false premises that are at the heart of every uncomfortable relationship issue, and guides you to a clear understanding of the powerful creative Vortex that has already assembled the relationships that you have desired. Abraham will show you how to enter that Vortex, where you will rendezvous with everything and everyone you have been looking for.
Abraham says: “It is our desire to help you to solve the mystery of those seemingly impossible relationships; to sort out the details of joyously sharing your planet with billions of others; to rediscover the beauty of your differences; and, most of all, to reestablish the most important relationship of all: your relationship with the Eternal, Non-Physical Source that is really you.
“It is our desire that you experience an enhanced appreciation of your planet; your body; your family; your friends; your enemies; your government; your systems; your food; your finances; your animals; your work and your play; your purpose; your Source; your Soul; your past, your future, and your present. . . .”

Tuff Love
Review Date: July 6, 2010
Reviewer: D. Hagel, Sebring, Florida United States
Abraham ends every workshop with the words “There is great love here for you” and yet at times the messages are delivered with a lack of “feeling”. I equate this with the “tuff love” approach. Much of what he says is not easy to hear, yet we need to hear it. Many of his messages require us to re-think what we currently believe and adhere to…that is the point of Abraham…to enlighten us to do better, have better, and be better. And Abraham only responds to questions that we have asked…and so it is my belief that if you are hearing or reading the messages from Abraham, at some level you have asked and therefore are attracted to his answers.
The message about parent/child relationships seems to receive the most negative responses. In my work to help parents become “awakened” to the wisdom of Abraham concerning parenting and the parent’s role in their children’s lives is often met with enormous resistance. Many times parents feel Abraham is telling them to “let go” and “let the child”. This leaves them with a sense of dismissing their responsibility as a parent to take care of and watch over their children…in essence take their control over their children’s lives away. It is here that I feel Abraham could be a bit more specific in the Vortex. I was fortunate to have been raised (many years ago) by forward thinking parents to live by the principles of the law of attraction long before the term was a household word. This, combined with years of purposefully studying, practicing, and teaching these principles I can attest to the fact that it is the absolute best way to raise your children to be and have and do all they want in life AND all parents want for them.
The law of attraction (Abraham’s message) clearly charges parents with the responsibility to raise their children…his message clarifys that a parents role is to empower their children with the positive mindset that will encourage the continued connection to Source (God, Divine, Universe or whichever word you choose) in order to create their desires. Unfortunately, parents interpret this to mean they are to allow their children to live in an “unparented” setting, when in fact what Abraham is saying is to protect your children from physical and emotional harm but at the same time allow your children to discover through his own experiences his preferences and beliefs. For example, rather than teaching your children that to eat meat is wrong because you think eating meat is wrong, encourage your child to investigate, gather information, research and then make his own choice as to what preference he feels aligned with…and then honor his preference without judgment or ridicule. In my work, I refer to this as “relate vs dictate”. And all that means is, and what Abraham is saying is for parents to NOT instill their thoughts and beliefs into their children but to inspire them to find their own.
I highly recommend this book, however I also encourage parents to look at other Abraham-Hicks messages concerning parenting before closing your mind to his teachings. And of course to listen with an open mind…
The Law of Attraction: The Next Generation
This Book *Can* Guide You In Building A New Foundation For Yourself
Review Date: July 2, 2010
Reviewer: Rebecca Dreiling, Hermosa Beach, CA
I purchased this book via the Kindle application for iPhone after reading the many reviews. Previously, I’ve read Abraham-Hicks books and have always been impressed by what they have to teach. In fact, my first real introduction to all things “spiritual” came first with the teachings of Abraham. Soon to follow was Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra and my favorite…. Dr. Wayne Dyer. I’ve read this book off and on for several weeks at work, at home, waiting somewhere…etc. Every-single-time I read it, I feel in alignment with my non-physical self; who I really am. The feelings I feel when reading it are those of radiance and can be felt by those around me, or so I’ve been told.
I can see how someone might say it’s repetitive. I agree it IS repetitive, but for the right reasons. Just like the term “practice makes perfect”….hearing / saying / reading / thinking something over and over helps to seep it into your foundation. To seep lower than the false premises we’ve come to know, acknowledge and live. I feel like I could read this book over and over and would still have something to learn from it each time I read it.
My favorite aspect of this book is how Jerry seems to cover every question you can think of in regards to relationships and how they collaborate with the Law of Attraction. Many questions I was stuck on were answered through Jerry’s asking and Abraham’s answers. The whole Q&A format, the way the book is laid out, was perfect for my particular learning style.
I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. In fact, I might even be buying it as Christmas gifts for a few people in my life who might enjoy reading it.
I loved this book and I look forward to anymore books that Abraham-Hicks puts out.
All is full of love.
