So I went to an Abraham-Hicks workshop this weekend and had the wonderful opportunity of listening to Abraham speak about the Law of Attraction. It clicks on an entirely new level when you hear it straight from the Source (pun intended). With that, let’s break down exactly how the Law of Attraction works right from the basics.
This physical reality is designed as a place for you to experience more and more of yourself, to remember who you really are.
Before we’re born, we are purely one with Source (aka God) and know everything, yet when we are born, we forget who we are and on some level, separate ourselves into several parts in order to experience the joy of realizing who we truly are once again.
When we feel bad, it is because we are separating ourselves from ourselves, pinching off our physical selves from our non-physical selves, resiting things such as Love of Freedom, both of which are qualities of our true selves. When we are feeling good, it is because the parts of us are all in vibrational alignment together.
Everything in the universe is vibration. Everything everything everything including your body, desires, thoughts, experiences, and so on.
While here in this physical experience, you are constantly creating new desires, called rockets of desire, for they shoot out of your mind and into another non-physical vibrational reality where the desires have already been fulfilled. What you ask for has already been given, just in another new reality. The key is to get from “here” to “there.”
With every experience we are having on earth, we are experiencing a contrast between experiences that make us feel good and experiences that make us feel bad. So we are constantly saying to ourselves, “Ooh, that feels good. I’d like more of that.” or “Yuck, this isn’t so fun. I don’t want to experience this anymore. hmm, I’d rather experience that instead.”
All of these desires pool together in a non-physical reality where you already exist, a reality some have called the Unmanifest. Everything you have ever asked for, be it money, success, relationships, cars, and whatever else, all exist in a temporary non-physical holding place Abraham calls the vibrational escrow.
So your job isn’t to make all your dreams happen and figure out HOW all your desires are going to manifest. No no.
The main thing for you to do is to bring your manifest physical self, the “you” you traditionally think of as yourself, into alignment with this vortex of non-physical vibrational escrow and from this place, all that you desire will manifest to you through you within this energetic vortex. Your job is simply to bring yourself into vibrational alignment with this space and to allow the manifestations to occur in your reality, to let it all in.
There are a whole slew of techniques given in their book Ask and It Is Given, and they all boil down to one simple principle: feeling good.
The goal is to make yourself feel better and better. Whether it’s through thinking thoughts that make you happy, spending time with a pet or loved one, making a list of things you are appreciative of, or anything else which will ultimately raise your vibration.
There is nothing more important than feeling good, than bringing your physical self into alignment with the vibrational escrow which is filled with love, joy, bliss, beauty, appreciation, and goodness.
Our emotions tell us how in alignment we are with who we truly are. Who we are in the vibrational escrow is who we truly are. Who we are now is what we are experiencing now based on our previous thoughts and so our mission is to tend to the gap between the escrow and physical reality and close the gap, yet because we are always spawning new desires and seeking progressively higher and higher levels, even if we were to instantly get everything we desired, we would begin seeking even more. This is a game that never ends and you can never get it done.
It’s not about actually achieving our goals, but about enjoying the process along the way. This is key. Life is a process and the process is what you’re in right now. So love and appreciate the process for what it is: a way for you to come in touch with more and more of who you really are.
When we think a thought, there will be emotion tied to the thought. Does the thought make us feel good? Better than we are feeling now? If so, that thought is more in alignment with who we truly are. Our job is to keep moving towards who we truly are little by little, not necessarily all at once, but enjoying the process as we progressively move closer to Source, to who we really are.
When we are feeling ecstasy, joy, appreciation, and love, those feelings arise due to our thoughts being in alignment with Source, the non-physical Source of all that is. In fact, it is the very Source of Creation. You and I are co-creators with Source. It is through our wonderful ability to focus thought onto something specific that we determine what we want in our life. This is how we “place an order” with the universe: focused thought.
Now this connection to Source that we’ve attained by feeling good is the vehicle through which what we have been focusing on will come into manifestation. All the details as to how the puzzle pieces should most harmoniously come together, all this happens through Source itself. By vibrationally bringing ourselves into the vortex, everything needed to make our desires happen will be a part of this vortex and will feel good.
So we have asked for what we want through our focused thought. The Universe has already answered by placing all that we have asked for in our vibrational escrow. We then focus on better feeling thoughts in order to feel good, even if the thoughts are about something else entirely, and from this place of feeling good, our job is simply to allow, to let all that we have already asked for to flow into our lives, and to follow our bliss.
From this place of connection with Source, life will synchronistically unfold. We will feel intuitively guided towards people and situations which make us feel good. Why do they feel good? Because they are also vibrating on a similar frequency, are also within the vortex of your vibrational escrow.
By constantly reaching for thoughts which make you feel better and even more joyous, while allowing everything else and all others to choose what they are choosing, you are keeping your physical self in alignment with who you truly in the non-physical are and thus closing the gap between who you are now and who you want to be. This is the key. The key is feeling good and nothing is more important.
The attitude we want to have is to be satisfied with what is and eager for what is coming, for if you are unsatisfied what what is, what you want can’t come.
Nothing is more important than to feel good.
Simply choose to feel good at all times and you will become one of those people for whom life seems to keep making things happen, as if things just continually keep working out for you like a dream. A dream of synchronicity and serendipity.
It is by choosing to constantly feel good that everything you desire will come into manifestation.
This, in a nutshell, is the essence of Abraham’s teachings. Feel good. The rest is just details.
Let’s conclude by listening to Abraham’s rampage of well-being together.

I think a distinction is necessary between Pleasure and Happiness/Joy, as both can feel pretty darn good. To me, happiness feels like an inner glow, like a warm radiance that’s not directly dependent on any outer circumstance. Pleasure, on the other hand, is completely dependent on a circumstance, like the pleasure of eating ice cream or my favorite example, masturbating to porn. I totally agree that feeling happiness and joy is instrumental in spiritual growth and manifestation; however, “feeling good” pleasure from something like anger or self-righteousness or lust will inevitably also attract the less-than-pleasurable aspects of those experiences. Great post, I gained some real insights.

Yeah, for sure Mike. Fantastic point. Thank you for bringing this up.
True happiness is not tied to external conditions. As Eckhart Tolle puts it, it is the “joy of being.” A great way of experiencing this is surrendering and quieting the mind. A sense of joy arises that is completely unrelated to thought.
And this is one of my quibbles with Abraham’s teachings. The joy that they suggest is more along the lines of ego pleasure, a pleasure that needs the external trigger of good feeling thoughts.
Lester Levinson, the creator of the Sedona Method, suggests that we should first learn to master the mind (law of attraction) before we choose to rise above the mind (enlightenment). With this understanding, we could say that we are using pleasure to help us master the mind. It is using the mind to help master the mind.
So it’s not necessarily that becoming enlightened is in conflict with using the law of attraction, but perhaps the two operate on different levels.

That is what stuck out from the post for me as well, the part where you posted:
“There is nothing more important than feeling good, than bringing your physical self into alignment with the vibrational escrow which is filled with love, joy, bliss, beauty, appreciation, and goodness.”
I don’t know what you exactly wanted to say when you said this. I mean feeling good in the sense of doing the things that satisfy your senses (sex, interacting with pleasant peolple, sports, food, or whatever one likes)? Or feeling good in the sense of living in compasion, or whatever one wants to call it, with yourself and others and therefore feeling good. Or both maybe?
for myself I’ve never experienced just feeling good (in the sense gatification sense) without also feeling bad as the inter related opposite of that. To give an example, with sex for instant. I was feeling good when having it. Then after that I wanted to feel good again in that sense. So I go out to feel that good again. And then it didn’t happen that I found someone to have sex with, so when I got home I was not feeling good (actually bad), Because of the good feeling I was looking for not being fullfilled then. Then the same happened a couple times more, ending in the same bad feeling. And then after some time I found someone to have sex with and of course I was then feeling good (but also a bit bad as well since I was like, “did I put so much effort into this that actually isn’t that good comparred to the suffering attached to it as well”). And I could give simular examples with other stuff that made mee feel good, but as interelated opposite bad as well also.
So I’ve now labbeled in my mind pleasure/feeling good (in sense gratification sense) as something where feeling bad is an interelated opposite of, that is almost ineffitable. If you sees this different, I would love to hear what I missed or did/went wrong (or anything you like to add about this)?
So personally I have never experienced feeling good (in the sense garatification sense) without also feeling bad/nagative about that thing, over a period of time.
The only way my mind now thinks one possibly could (theoretically since I can’t speak from experiencing that) feeling good (in the sense garatification sense) without also feeling bad, is if one is 100% detached from that experience, and doesn’t persue it to happen again?

Hey Scarface, Abraham actually talked about sex at the workshop this past weekend and explained that alignment with source and sexual energy are not different experiences.
Keep in mind that the fulfillment DOES NOT come from the activity itself, but on the vibration associated with the various activities and whether or not you are in alignment with Source energy, who and what you truly are.
External circumstances may serve as triggers, but not sources.
Regarding the dualistic good/bad game, that’s what happens when you engage the mind which typically has negative beliefs associated around things it loves. For example, and I’m not saying this is reflective of you, but it is one common example, “Sex feels so great! but I feel so dirty and sinful. It’s my guilty pleasure.” Guilty pleasure, you see the negative energy associated with pleasure? It’s similar to how people think of being a “God-fearing Christian,” mistakenly associating fear with love, as if the two somehow had to come as a package deal.
Really, at least in terms of the Abraham context, it’s a matter of how unified you are, how whole you are, which is measured by the gap of energetic vibration between your physical and non-physical selves. The closer the match, the better you feel. The greater the distance, the worse you feel. The non-physical self doesn’t come down to the physical’s level to close the gap. It is always up to the physical to go and meet the non-physical. That is, it is up to the mind to let go of all false beliefs standing in the way of realizing who and what we truly are.

thank you for your reply
You are quite good at constructing nutshells, Ariel. This article is fantastically valuable.
