Ask And It Is Given: Learning To Manifest Your Desires

In Chapter 1, Abraham introduces themselves and describes how and why they are communicating with the human world. They state that they are a group of non-physical beings made of vibration and energy and brought together through pure intention. Each physical being has a non-physical equivalent inhabiting this vibrational realm, which Abraham refers to as Source. Every human, whether they realize it or not, has a natural ability to connect to their own Source, but the physical world often distracts them from doing so. Abraham goes on to say that during certain conditions, a connection between the physical and non-physical becomes possible.

Esther Hicks, the book’s coauthor, is introduced as the vessel for such a connection. Because she is open to hearing and translating the messages from the non-physical, Abraham is easily able to relay these ideas. They give a short description of how this process works; the non-physical entities transmit knowledge to her using their own vibrational language, and Esther will translate those messages into physical language. Abraham states, “We offer our understanding, vibrationally, in a way that is similar to what you understand as radio signals, and Esther receives these vibrations and translates them into the physical world equivalent” (4).
