The Law of Attraction – The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham – By: Esther and Jerry Hicks
Eduttainable Idea 1
Law is universal. Focus on the things that you want and attract them into your life. Focus without action will not change anything. Be open to seeing new possibilities. Allow for deliberate feeling, choice and intention. At this moment you are using the law of attraction. All you need to know is that it exists. Like a magnet it connects you to what you want. Deliberate focused thought with belief and action will bring you toward the resources, people and ideas that will change your life. Your life is already changing. The law of attraction helps you communicate to the world what you’d like in the future. You have dreams so you know where to go. Whatever you put your attention on becomes bigger. Change is possible through consistency of thought. You may have been thinking the same way for years. This thinking has got you where you are. In order to shift your thinking, create a new focus. Use energy to attract what you desire. As you go through life things happen. These events help you figure out what to attract. It takes time, energy and attention to get what you want but it is worth the effort. Attraction is about vibration and developing a powerful emotional resonance. It has been proven that minds connect with minds that are resonating on the same frequency. If you look for joy, congratulation! That’s excellent. Joy is being allowed into your experience. Deliberately guiding your thought is key. Wonderful thoughts lead to a wonderful life.
“As you perceive something, you give birth to a thought, and this thought now thinks. Now that it exists, now that it has been conjured, now that it has been focused,now it vibrates. Now, by Law of Attraction, other thoughts that are vibrationally same will come to it. So it begins its expansion immediately.” says Abraham.
Eduttainable Idea 2
Attract strong emotion. What you focus on grows. The difference between want and need is strength. When you want something you have positive emotions, when you need something you have negative emotions. You should always focus on what you want and never on what you need. What you need is what you want in a new context. You control the context. If you want to learn you can grow exponentially. Growth can cause confusion. Focusing on too many things will lead to confusion. Overstimulation causes distraction. Confusion happens when you think about too many things at once. Over consideration leads to uncertainty. Overthinking problems leads to overwhelm. Like a supercomputer your brain works at lightning speed. The law of attraction is a search tool. Whatever you put in the search bar it will seek. Thoughts are links. Great thoughts link to great thoughts.
“Genius. It is just attention to something specific. That’s all it is. Law of Attraction makes it happen, and so anyone who gives attention to any subject for a period of time will evolve in the direction of that understanding.” says Abraham.

The Law of Attraction goes deep. Esther and Jerry Hicks explain exactly how attraction works. Our brains are connected. The way we think affects the universe. You can speed up the law of attraction by giving what you want more intensity and attention. The more intense you feel the faster it happens. The more attention you give what you want the more you will do the things in line with getting it. In order for things to change, you need to see them not as they are but as you want them to be. You need to envision the way you want things in order for that vision to be realized. You are literally pulling the future towards you. When you know what you want you have fewer options. What are you attracting?
