PREFACE

More than thirty years ago, I had what is called a transpersonal experience. I call it a soul-touching experience. In a well-orchestrated retreat given by the Creative Initiative Foundation in Palo Alto, California, I and the other participants had an experience that was ineffable. However, it was very real to us. Somehow there was a shift, and I knew myself as more than this body and brain. Everything seemed perfect and loving.

This way of being lasted for a week or so, and then gradually life felt as before, yet it was forever changed. Since then, I have been on a quest to learn how to live from that inner knowing in daily life, how to love unconditionally, how to feel a sense of peace, and how to be joyful no matter the circumstances. I was sure that I am a spiritual being having a human experience, but how could I actually live from that core essence?

Spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle often comments that you do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge. I agreed, but for me the question remained: how do I allow that goodness, the love that I am, to emerge?

In my search for the how-to to be the love I am, I have read hundreds of books and attended many workshops and various religious services. I have walked on hot coals, bent spoons with my mind, meditated daily, done zillions of processes, and trained as a Mmaster Reiki teacher and Reconnective and Matrix Energetics Practitioner. I have led workshops, done self-empowerment coaching, and taught seminars. All were helpful, giving me steps towards knowing and living my fullness.

After a few years of organizing a Monday-night spiritual discussion and meditation group, a number of serendipitous events brought us—my teaching partner, Barb Pachla, and me—the teachings on the law of attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks. The teachings rang true for us. We found the concepts to be clear, and the processes worked to allow our goodness within—the love—to emerge. Since then we have made this construct the focal point of our gatherings and classes, augmenting that focus with other wisdom teachings from the past and present. Folks at these gatherings share story after story of the inspirational nature of the teachings and the effectiveness of doing the processes.

For us, these concepts set a context, a construct for who we are, what we are about, and the nature of the universe in which we function. With this base, our purpose becomes clear and the processes become pragmatic ways to fulfill our purpose.

We are not alone in singing the praises of the profundity and practicality of these teachings. In the foreword to the Hickses’ first best-selling book, Ask and It Is Given, Dr. Wayne Dyer writes, The book you’re holding in your hands at this moment contains some of the most powerful teachings available to you on our planet today. At a Louise Hay You Can Do It Conference, Louise herself, Dr. Dyer, and Christiana Northrop, MD, all talked of the Hickses as the best of our teachers.

Others also write words of praise in the Ask and It Is Given book. Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, calls the teachings incredibly profound, yet simple and practical. Conversations with God author, Neale Donald Walsh, writes that One’s entire life can change because of what is found here. Spiritual teacher and author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, John Gray, PhD, says that he and his wife have enjoyed these profound and extremely practical teachings for years and gives the book to everyone.

Alan Cohen, the author of A Deep Breath of Life, writes, The Abraham-Hicks teachings have inspired me to a grand new level of clarity, confidence, purpose, and passion. I study these ideas constantly and recommend them to everyone I can. They are among the most powerful and transformational I have ever encountered. Live them, and your life will become new and brilliantly happy.

Visit Abraham-Hicks.com to learn more about their body of work, free materials, and schedule of events. At the time of this writing, we highly recommend the book Ask and It Is Given as a starting place and Getting Into the Vortex Guided Meditations CD and User Guide as an invaluable tool.

Because consciousness is always evolving and expanding, the future will surely bring us even clearer and more effective teachings, but for now, we have found that this is the best way of describing who we are and how it all works.

We present the material as attraction-based consciousness, mastering the energies of love in twelve basic concepts. Spiritual quotes and scientific findings place the teachings within a broader context. The implications and ramifications add background and depth. The tools (or processes) move the knowledge into a way of life. The stories give evidence that we can live extraordinary lives.

We share our way of teaching the knowledge for those who will benefit.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I give thanks first to my dear husband, Roger, for his steadfast support and willingness to help in any way possible. I thank Barb Pachla, my teaching partner, for the daily discussions of how to articulate the concepts and live them in our lives. Also to Sandy Sullivan, thank you for the wonderful illustrations.

I so appreciate my friend Judy Cox for her wisdom, encouragement, and skill in editing. A special thanks to Jenny Kamans for doing a first round of proofreading. Thanks also to Talie Morrison for the hours of tech help.

I thank those who come to our Monday-night workshops. It is their openness, dedication to working the processes, and sharing of the amazing results that have inspired me to write this guidebook as a tool to teach others the skills to love unconditionally and to master the energies of love.

INTRODUCTION

What If, As a Human Being

• you are an extension of the energy and power of the universe?

• you always have the choice of clearly aligning with that energy and power?

• your feelings tell you if your thoughts are in sync with that energy and power?

• loving, appreciating, feeling good/happy/joyful/confident/peaceful means you are clearly aligned with that energy and power?

• you can be the energy of love no matter the circumstances?

• in the mastering of the energies of love, in clearly aligning with the energy and power of the universe, you can be, do and have all you desire?

WHAT IF

THIS IS WHO YOU ARE AND

THIS IS WHAT IS POSSIBLE?

We invite you to be open to the possibility that you can

master the energies of love

and

orchestrate the power of the universe.

In this book, we present a construct for the basis of this possibility and back it up with spiritual teachings, scientific findings, and experiential testimonies.

It is not really words that teach. Again, we invite you—well actually, we implore you—to use the tools, do the processes, and experience the results for yourself.

We present the construct of Attraction Based Consciousness as twelve basic concepts in a sequence that emphasizes the importance and impact of mastering the energies of love. Being a deliberate creator of your life experiences is a benefit of aligning with the love you are.

The many quotes in chapter 2 Wisdom Teachings Concur convey the ancient roots of these teachings as spoken by masters and teachers from different times and places. Scientific studies and medical findings validate further that we are much more than we think we are and have vast powers.

Because these teachings are often a radical shift in thinking, the Implications and Ramifications in chapter 4 apply the concepts to aspects of life to provide more understanding to what it means to know that we are energy beings.

Chapters 5 rhrough 12 on the tools of mastering the energies of love make experience the judge. We so encourage you to wholeheartedly do a process for a week. It will make a believer out of you. Chapter 13 on manifesting outlines the creative process. It is clear that our job in the process is to be in harmony with the fullness of who we have become.

Stories tell the tale in chapter 14. For years in our Monday-night workshops, we have begun by sharing how applying the teachings is working in our lives. We share a few of the stories in this book to give you a sense of the possibilities.

A sampling of the books and DVDs we have studied are listed in the Related Reading section at the end of the book. There is also the Internet, with almost unlimited resources at your fingertips. If you resonate with these ideas, Google the law of attraction or other spiritual topics. The information out there on the spiritual awakening increases every day. You might go to www.mindvalley.com and the Healer’s Way blog for starters.

Enjoy the journey.

CHAPTER 1

BASIC CONCEPTS

We present attraction-based consciousness as twelve concepts and include an illustration and explanation of each.

The Concepts

1. All is one. Everything is energy—electromagnetic and attraction based (like vibrations attract like vibrations) with varying frequencies, velocities, density, and purity.

2. Source energy vibrates high, fast, light, and clear. They are the vibrations we translate as joy, appreciation, love, clarity, serenity, and empowerment—the pleasant feelings.

3. Our essence is a point of focus or consciousness within source energy. As this vortex of consciousness, we project a facet of our energy into physical form.

4. We humans have two focus points: an eternal, broad nonphysical source energy perspective and a temporal, vectored physical perspective that has a magnified view of the contrasting variety of physical life.

5. The thoughts of our physical perspective initiate emotions. The emotions indicate if the choice of thought aligns or misaligns the two perspectives. Pleasant feelings indicate alignment, and unpleasant feelings indicate misalignment.

6. Our physical perspective is free to
