Ask And It Is Given: Learning To Manifest Your Desires

The Preface of Ask and It Is Given is written explicitly by Jerry Hicks, who claims to be the “translator” of Abraham’s teachings as relayed through his wife, Esther. As the morning sunlight strengthens over his Malibu home, he reflects on the couple’s journey toward accepting the Law of Attraction. In his quest for understanding, he says that he has often found the “Non-Physical” to be impossible to convey in human language, as Non-Physical beings exist in a universe where all information is transmitted wholly and automatically through vibration. Jerry explains that for this reason, he and Esther sometimes coin new terms or alter familiar ones to better capture the essence of Abraham’s teachings. Often, these inaccurate terms are capitalized to flag them for the reader. One example is the term “Well-Being,” which is not just about physical health; it refers instead to a universal flow of well-being that is available to all.

Jerry describes Esther as a member of an elite group who can easily access a large amount of vibrational knowledge and can also translate it into understandable English. The others he lists in this group are primarily prophets, including Jesus, and Muhammad, as well as Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
