ABRAHAM SPEAKSTO JERRY AND ESTHERIt is with tremendous enthusiasm that we begin the writing of another book, for even as we areputting these words upon the page, we are able to foresee the tremendous value that they willhave in the lives of those who will read them. As we are projecting this work into your physicalfuture, we are exhilarated.Each physical being who responds to our work will do so in a uniquely different way, andfrom each response we will gain value. One response will not be of more value than another. Inother words, there is not that which is specific that we are hoping to gain from our participation.It is that we know that each response is of value. Therefore, there is no specific belief that weintend to impart with this book, and there is no response that we seek. We offer this book out ofour pure delight in co-creating, from our Non-physical perspective, with those who are currentlyfocused through the physical.Physical man often resists those who seek to inform him upon new subjects, for a varietyof reasons:In some cases, he believes that he now has all of the answers to all of the questions, forhe has been so fully immersed in the traditions and beliefs of those who surrounded him at thetime of his birth that he cannot accept that there are other valid, valuable ideas outside of thoseaccepted by his family, or religious circle, or nation.In some cases, the beliefs that he now holds do not blend or harmonize with the newinformation being offered, and because the new ideas do not agree with the old ideas, he feelstremendous insecurity, and tries all the more to hold to or to protect or defend his set of beliefs.And, in some cases, he seeks nothing, therefore all new stimulation, or differentstimulation, seems intrusive to him — and so he resists it. He has felt the sting of wanting and-29-

not receiving so often that he now no longer wants. He has decided that it is easier to acceptthings as they are, asking for no change, than to want change and not get it.And so, as we introduce this book into your physical world from our Non-physicalperspective, it is our clear knowing that it will not be received by all. Those who will receivevalue from this book will be those who are already recognizing that there is not an ending togrowth. Those who will be uplifted and exhilarated by this book will, without exception, bethose who do not believe that they currently have all of the answers. Our greatest offering is tothose wise physical beings who have already concluded, through their life experience, that thereis no ending to growth and that with the answer to every question will come clearer, deeperquestions which will, in turn, attract clearer, deeper answers.The greatest value of this book will be received by those who understand-that they cannotexperience that which is outside of the boundaries of their current beliefs. By those who arewilling to carefully and deliberately modify or replace some existing beliefs that may behindering their quest for more freedom, and more growth, and more joy. And by those who arebrave enough to think clearly for themselves, using their own, very valuable, life experience inthe way they have intended to use it: as the process through which to receive their ownconclusions.For those who have identified things, experiences, relationships or feelings — that theyare currently not experiencing — as something they want, this book will be of tremendous value.For those who are currently experiencing hardship, sickness, trials, or negativeexperience that they are wanting to release from their experience — this book will be oftremendous value.We offer this book to assist those who truly want the Deliberate Creative Control of theirown life experience. It is written to assist you to do that which you have intended to do as youmade the decisions to come forth into these physical bodies.And so, it is with tremendous enthusiasm and exuberant expectation that we begin thewriting of another book.We are, indeed, inspired to this joyful offering because of our knowledge of the existenceof those who seek what will be written here, and because of our knowledge of the Law ofAttraction which will bring those who seek what is written in this book, to this book.-30-

))))1))))OUR PART IN THISMAGNIFICENT CO-CREATIONThere are many of us gathered here, working as co-authors upon this book. The words that you arenow reading are being offered from a group of beings who are currently observing your physicaldimension from our Non-physical dimension.We are a group, perfectly blended, existing in absolute harmony. We are together because our lifeexperiences have brought us to same conclusions, and from that ever-evolving point ofconclusiveness, we are currently at same perspective. We are not only together because of ourcurrent and mutual intentions to write this book, but we are joined by the natural laws of theUniverse.These natural laws which provide a glorious and consistent format for life in the Non-physicaldimension, also provide the format for life in your physical dimension. And in the same way thatwe are harmoniously bonded with our Non-physical counterparts who are of like mind, we are alsobonded with our physical counterparts, Jerry & Esther.This bonding, between ABRAHAM and Jerry and Esther, is not new to this physical time and space,but a long time bonding of old Non-physical friends. We have interacted together in countless lifeexperiences and do so now with tremendous satisfaction felt by all who are involved, physical andNon-physical. Indeed, our joyful work extends far beyond the boundaries of one physical life span.As physical creatures, most of you are so firmly rooted in your physical perspective you lose sightof the larger picture. But sometimes you do sense your broader purpose, and some of you, once youhave sensed it, begin to actively pursue it. Once you state your questions, by the powerful laws ofthe Universe, the answers begin to come.Our friend, Jerry, from the time of his youth, sensed a broader purpose, and offered a steady streamof questions, that sometimes delighted and sometimes offended his teachers, from the time he wasable to speak. While he did not understand his connection with the Non-physical, he was certain thatthere was much more to life than what his physical eyes could behold, and so his life was spentsearching, asking, wanting to understand. Indeed, it was Jerry's intense wanting to understand that-31-

reached outward to the boundaries of the Universe and summoned the Non-physical Energy ofABRAHAM.The Non-physical Energy of ABRAHAM had been intimately aware of the physical Jerry for all ofhis physical lifetime, but it was not until the blending of the physical wanting of Jerry and thephysical allowing of Esther, that we were able to make this magnificent conscious connection.Esther, too, "sensed" the bigger, broader Universe. And, like Jerry, she wanted very much to be ofvalue to this physical time and place. But, what Esther offered to this unique recipe of physical andNon-physical ingredients was an absolute trust and an unquestioning willingness to allow.Esther has allowed an alignment of her physical Energy with our Non-physical Energy, whichprovides the basis for our communication with you. She is literally receiving blocks of pure, nonverbal thought from us and is, at an unconscious level, translating them into physical words. Everyword that you read here is a label that has been interpreted by Esther. She is receiving thoughtimpulses from us, in rather large blocks, and she is digesting these impulses at an unconscious levelof her being and is putting the words upon the page for you. As we are offering the blocks ofthought, we are continually taking into consideration the perspective of those who will receive thesetranslations, and we are conscious, with every particle of thought that we transmit, of the physicalbeings who will be receiving these thoughts as they read the written words upon the page.We have begun this segment of our offering with a statement, "There are many of us gathered here",although the word "here" does not literally apply to the Non-physical dimension in which wecurrently exist. "Here" indicates a place, and a place indicates physical realm, and we are notfocused from a physical realm. However, we have discovered that if we are to be of any real valueto you, as you are physically focused, that we must reach you and speak with you from the physicalperspective that you currently hold, for your total frame of reference is physical.And so, we are continually seeking bridges through which we can convey knowledge withoutdistortion. Bridges through which we can enhance your physical experience without offeringexcessive fairy tales. As we offer the words, "There are many of us gathered here," we are aware ofthe picture that that statement brings to most of you, for you cannot release yourselves from yourphysical perspective, even though you are contemplating a Non-physical dimension."Many of us gathered here " in Non-physical dimension, cannot be literally translated into yourphysical perspective, because we are different than you are. We are not contained in bodies, andwe are more flexible in our movement. When we say, "gathered together," we do not mean that wehave gathered around in a comfortable old room to chat about our physical friends of the earth plane.We are literally merging, one with another, as many smaller lights may join together to cast abrighter beam.Not long after Esther began speaking for ABRAHAM, she said, "ABRAHAM, I want to see you!" Shehad read accounts from other physical beings, who were speaking for Non-physical friends, who toldelaborate stories of their visual encounters with their Non-physical friends.We said to Esther, "We have observed you, moving through your house, in the night, with your eyesclosed, afraid that you may see us."-32-

She laughed and attempted to convince us that she was feeling much braver now and really did wantto see us.And so, as she lay in her bed, with her sleeping mate, in a very dark bedroom, we said, "Open youreyes, and see."As she opened her eyes she saw what she later described as fireflies. Thousands of fireflies! Smalldots of light darting about the room. At one point, all of these tiny lights gathered together into onecorner of the room, becoming a beam of light that was too bright for her physical eyes to look into,and then dispersing into seven or eight not so bright beams, and then, again, into thousands of tinydots of light. Esther's visual experience gave her a clearer perspective of our Non-physical existence.She concluded, "You are Energy," for she viewed us as light. "You are very mobile, very flexible,very free," as she observed our ability to merge into one, or to separate into many.As Esther receives blocks of thought from ABRAHAM, she receives us as one. One conclusiveconsensus of thought coming powerfully and undeniably into her mind.The words that you are now reading are coming from beings who are currently focused from a Nonphysical perspective, therefore to try to explain to you "where" we come from, or "where" we areis not relevant. We spend no time looking back, into the past, to try to explain who we are in ournow, because we understand that our power to create is in our present.And so, we will speak to you in terms of who we are, from our perspective of beingness, indeed,from our current "state of being." We are free, joyous and growing beings — putting emphasis uponour state of freedom — for it is through our freedom to be, that we are able to choose joy andgrowth. We are not different from you, or any other being in the Universe, regarding freedom, forwe are all absolutely free, but most do not understand their freedom, and therefore do not live it.Freedom is not something that is earned, or assigned, but something that is acknowledged.Through our experiences, individual and collective, we have arrived at many conclusions. We preferjoy to pain, or even to the absence of joy. We prefer growth to stagnation. We prefer freedom toconfinement or manipulation, or even to disapproval. We have, through vast experience, come tounderstand the true nature of our beings, and we understand that everything we are adds to theultimate upliftment of All-That-Is.IT IS OUR KNOWING, THAT THERE IS NOT AN ENDING TO GROWTH, FOR WE ALLEXIST IN AN ETERNAL NOW. The joy Or the pain, the growth or the stagnation, the freedomor the confinement, that each of us feel in this moment, is purely our individual decision, and wetake great delight in that knowledge. And in that knowledge, as ABRAHAM, we continually choosefreedom, growth and joy.From our experience or perspective — or state of being free, growing and joyous — we direct ourEnergy, or attention, into your physical dimension. As we observe your earth we are able to identifyyour cities, your homes, your individual life experiences, indeed every detail of your physical lifeis available to us, but we prefer to give our attention to your "state of being", for there is far morepertinent information contained there than in the physical trappings that surround you. Indeed, there-33-

are many wonderful things of a physical nature for you to explore and experience and enjoy, and wedo acknowledge the beauty and the deliciousness of your physical world. For all of the physical stuffof your world exists for one purpose only, and that is for the enhancement of your "state of being."As teachers who seek growth, upliftment and joy, we are literally drawn to those who seek that. Youare as powerful magnets, attracting to you that which you seek or ask for or acknowledge or giveyour attention to. We cannot seek you out, and present ourselves to you if you do not seek that whichwe are — for by virtue of the powerful Law of Attraction, only that which is like unto itself is drawn,and just as oil and water do not mix, different intentions or perspectives or beliefs do not mix.As physical beings you readily identify boundaries and limits within your physical realm, but fromour perspective there are no boundaries or limits. There is no guard at our gate of our glorious stateof being, monitoring and evaluating and deciding who enters or leaves, for the gathering is a naturalprocess of like attracting like. Those who are not currently wanting or seeking that which we areabout — simply exist in another state of being.Physical and Non-physical dimensions are intricately intertwined and cannot be separated. Physicallife, as you know it to be, could not exist without the existence of the Non-physical dimension,Energy, support and knowledge. Physical earth is a product of the attention and knowledge of theNon-physical dimension.Physical man has been interacting with the Non-physical dimension for as long as physical man hasexisted, and his experiences have varied tremendously as his perspective and expectations havechanged. Indeed, contact between physical and Non-physical is certainly not something that is newthat we are now excitedly explaining to you, for countless tales of ghostly encounters, unexplainablehappenings and divine revelations abound in your physical archives. Physical man has long beenreceiving inspiration, intuition and even clear communication from that which he absolutelyacknowledged was separate and apart from his own conscious physical mind.If only considering the physical experiences upon your planet, it would not be possible to log andexplain and understand the relationships of one experience in one part of your world to another inanother part of your world. And as you attempt to consider, to digest and to log and drawcomparisons of all of the Non-physical encounters that have occurred and are occurring, you soondiscover the impossibility of the task you have set upon.There are accountings of wide ranges of experiences, as physical man has been interacting with theNon-physical dimension, and much has been written and expressed about it, and much confusionand skepticism has emerged. The confusion exists, largely, because of the comparison of the manyconflicting details as physical man tries very hard to wedge a variety of different ex
