The Teachings of Abraham

Abraham has changed my life immensely since my discovery of them last fall (2006). Esther Hicks is an inspirational speaker who dialogs with a group of spiritual teachers who call themselves Abraham.

Being raised a Jehovah's Witness until I was 19 and leaving on my own, I was left with many uncertainties and doubts in life. Over the last 10 years I mistook how detrimental lack of spirituality was in my life. Lack of belief - in the world and most importantly, one's self. But Christianity, drenched in hypocrisy, lies and guilt, wasn't anything that attracted me. Nor, for that matter, any other religion that claims it is the "true" religion.

Abraham along with many other helpful teachers over the last year have taught me more about who I am and helped me see things more clearly. About 5yrs ago Abraham said, "You are killing more of each other every day over your quarrels over religion than all other things put together, because you cannot even come to an agreement about what you think God says, or wants for you. On one side of the world God wants something different than the other. On one side of the room, in one side of your mind, God wants something different than on the other. The power is within you. You are extensions of this powerful Source Energy. You are literally God expressing in this physical body. And so, as you are standing in a thought, or in a word, or in an action that feels good to you as you are standing there--then you are fully open and allowing all of that Divine Energy to flow through you. And in that moment you are all that you said you would be when you decided to come forth into this body. You are the extension of pure positive energy. You are in your full creative power. You are thriving. You are clear-minded. You are joyful. You are filled with love. You are who you are--you are allowing that which you really are."

Few words have ever rang clear as well as those have for me. The more I've been able to connect with ME, the better my relationships with others have become.
