Outline of Abraham–Hicks' Teachings

Esther Hicks says that non-physical entities called Abraham speak through her, and that her teachings (referred to as Abraham–Hicks teachings) are based on this experience. The basic tenets of the teachings include that we create our own reality through our thoughts, that our emotions are constantly guiding us toward where we want to go, and that life is supposed to be fun. 


The essence of Abraham–Hicks' teachings since 1986 has been presented as follows:

• You are a physical extension of that which is non-physical.

• You are here in this body because you chose to be here.

• The basis of your life is freedom; the purpose of your life is joy.

• You are a creator; you create with your every thought.

• Anything that you can imagine is yours to be or do or have.

• You are choosing your creations as you are choosing your thoughts.

• The Universe adores you, for it knows your broadest intentions.

• Relax into your natural well-being. All is well.

• You are a creator of thoughtways on your unique path of joy.

• Actions to be taken and money to be exchanged are by-products of your focus on joy.

• You may appropriately depart your body without illness or pain.

• You cannot die; you are everlasting life.

A large part of their work centers around the Law of Attraction, a concept written about in the early 1900s by William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932) in many of his books, including "Thought Vibration" or the "Law of Attraction in the Thought World" (1906).






Swami Sevaratna's note: I consider William Walker Atkinson one of the most important thinkers of the 20th century. He made extensive use of pseudonyms, as Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka. I started Yoga 42 years ago with the help of one of his books. 


Here are some of them under the name Yogi Ramacharaka:

• A Series of Lessons in Raja Yoga
• Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism
• Hatha Yoga
• The Hindu Yogi Science of Breath

And under the name of Theron Q. Dumont:

• Personal Magnetism
