Ask And It Is Given: Learning To Manifest Your Desires

According to Esther and Jerry Hicks, Abraham is the true author of Ask And It Is Given. Abraham describes themselves as a collective of non-physical energy beings, brought together by their shared intention to help physical humans. The book explains that because they communicate without language, they find “channels” through which to translate their ideas for human understanding; Esther believes herself to be one of these channels. Abraham states that she was chosen due to her openness, although Esther herself writes that she was resistant to accepting them at first.

Throughout the text, Abraham directly addresses the reader. At certain points, they express frustration that their ideas must be diluted by the limitations of human language. Esther and Jerry write that to mitigate this issue, they capitalize certain words to indicate that the true meaning is far greater than what those words can convey. Abraham outlines how the Law of Attraction works and offers specific techniques to begin perfecting the use of this principle. Abraham also offers tangible ways to measure the effects of the Law of Attraction on one’s own life. They say that for non-physical beings like them, the fact that the universe is a place of attractive energy, and nothing else, is indisputably clear.
