Ask And It Is Given: Learning To Manifest Your Desires

This chapter examines the idea that a negative outlook can create negative outcomes. Abraham explains that for the average person, emotions are often seen as reactions to external circumstances. Bad experiences lead to negative emotions, while good experiences lead to positive emotions. Abraham offers a different perspective: the idea that emotions are signals of a person’s current connection to Source energy. Negative emotions signal disconnection, while positive emotions signal alignment.

For instance, a person who grew up poor may have a negative view of their ability to manifest financial success. By focusing on their lack of money, they attract a vibration that sets them on a continued path of financial struggle. Abraham states that if they shift their focus to a mindset of abundance, the universe will respond by giving them true financial prosperity. Similarly, a person who fears having a heart attack because their grandmother died from a heart attack may manifest similar health problems by focusing on this negative possibility. Abraham contends that by shifting focus to assume that they will remain healthy, they will improve their true physical condition.
