This extraordinary book is powerfully offered by a group of teachers who call themselves Abraham. They express clearly and simply the laws of the universe, explaining in detail how we can deliberately flow with these laws for the joyful creation of whatever we desire. Abraham describes this as the time of awakening, explaining that each of us chose, with very deliberate intent, this specific time of great change to participate in this physical experience. This is an empowering, life-changing book that will assist you in seeing your personal life experience as you have never seen it before.

The breakthrough book that started a worldwide interest in Abraham-Hicks. A New Beginning I explains in simple terms the eye-opening fundamentals of living a life of health, wealth and happiness. Readers love the practical ideas of Abraham. In the tradition of Jane Robert's Seth Material, this refreshing new book reveals a unique blend of new-age thought with the Western desire for more. An inspiring self-help classic that gets results.

About the Author

Excited about the clarity and practicality of the translated word from abraham, Jerry and Esther Hicks began, in 1986, disclosing their Abraham experience to a handful of close business associates. Then, recognizing the practical results being received by those persons who began plying Abraham with meaningful personal questions regarding their finances, bodily conditions, and relationships...the Hickses made a conscious decision to allow Abrahams teachings to become available to an ever widening circle of seekers. And that circle continues to expand even as you read this page.

Jerry and Esther have now published more than 380 Abraham-Hicks books, cassettes and videos, and have been presenting open group interactive workshops in as many as 59 cities a year to those who gather to participate in this progressive stream of thought.

Although worldwide attention has been given by leading edge thinkers to this "Science of Deliberate Creation" who, in turn, incorporate many of Abrahams concepts into their books, lectures, sermons, screenplays and scripts, the primary spread of this material has been from person to person as individuals begin to discover the value of these materials in their practical, personal experience.

Abraham, a group of obviously evolved teachers, speak their broader Nonphysical perspective through the physical apparatus of Esther. Speaking to our level of comprehension, from their present moment to our now, through a series of loving, allowing, brilliant yet comprehensively simple, recordings in print and in sound they guide us to a clear connection with our Inner Being they guide us to self-upliftment from our Total Self.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Secrets To Manifesting Your Reality!, February 16, 2002

I love this book! This book describes how your thoughts really do create your reality. If you're familiar with the Seth Material than you know what I'm talking about (except this book gives real exercises, something I found lacking in the Seth Material). Abraham says, "You live the BALANCE of Your Thoughts." and he/they give you real exercises to joyously create your life. For example, they say that when you feel negative emotions YOU ARE CREATING WHAT YOU DON'T WANT. Then, they give you a simple 3-minute mental exercise called, "Building A Bridge" to get you from what you don't want to what you really want.

They describe how most people "Create By Default" by not really paying attention to their own warning system (their emotions). They then give you ANOTHER REAL EASY EXERCISE to deliberately create your reality, "Exercise for Deliberate Creation" and all you need is a few sheets of paper, a pen and some imagination.

Fabulous! I plan on buying everything available from these guys!

5.0 out of 5 stars Be, Do or Have ANYTHING!, March 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A New Beginning I: Handbook for Joyous Survival (Paperback)

"There is nothing you cannot be, do or have" pretty much sums up the Abraham teachings perfectly.

For years, I thought life had to be a struggle, the world was full of wrongs to be righted and that we had to prove ourselves worthy in some way in our lives to something or someone - whether physical or non-physical. The non-dogmatic, non-preachy Abraham teachings changed my view of the world completely.

Now I sit back and relax, let my thoughts and desires flow and life just gets better and better. I pretty much get everything I want these days and things I don't quite have in the bag yet are well on the way. Even after just a year of playing with the Abraham ideas, I find myself looking at other people in the world and wondering why they make things so hard on themselves.

You see, life is a choice - and it is much more of a choice than many of us dare believe. And we can choose to live life the "hard" way with lots of suffering or we can live it the "easy" way with ever-increasing freedom, growth and joy.

I now know that every single little thing that every occurs in my day-to-day existence is something that I have deliberately created and I now know exactly how to control all those things.

Do yourself a favour - forget all the emotional/religious/psychological baggage you've been carrying all your life and just learn how the natural laws of the Universe really work. One thing is for sure...you'll never look at life the same way again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A goldmine of truth, April 26, 2000

This review is from: A New Beginning I: Handbook for Joyous Survival (Paperback)

After scouring new age book stores for years, and reading literally hundreds of books, I happened on this book (and Vol. 2) and I honestly say my life has changed for the better in so many ways. This is absolutely the most workable, practical sky-is-the-limit philosophy I've ever encountered. And thankfully every word of it has translated into whole new vistas of joy in my life (and about 20 other friends who I have turned on to it). I have watched it change lives when applied even to a small degree. If you want new age dogma, or complicated ritual and significance, go elsewhere. If you want something that works (and it's easy and fun!) THIS IS IT.
