The Law of Attraction presents the powerful basics of the original Teachings of Abraham®. Here, you’ll learn how all things, wanted and unwanted, are brought to you by this most powerful law of the universe, the Law of Attraction: that which is like unto itself is drawn. You’ve most likely heard the saying “Like attracts like” and, although the Law of Attraction has been alluded to by some of the greatest teachers in history, it has never been explained in as clear and practical terms as it is in these pages. Learn here about the omnipresent Laws that govern this Universe and how to make them work to your advantage. Through the teachings of the Non-Physical consciousness Abraham, in Money, and the Law of Attraction, Esther and Jerry Hicks shine a spotlight on two subjects most chronically affecting people today: money and physical health. Whatever your life experience, this book will guide you to take conscious creative control of your financial and physical well-being. Not having enough money or not having good health puts you in the perfect position for creating more of that which you do not have.

The Votex will help you understand every relationship you are currently involved in as well as every relationship you have ever experienced. It uncovers a myriad of false premises that are at the heart of every uncomfortable relationship issue, and guides you to a clear understanding of the powerful creative Vortex that has already assembled the relationships that you have desired. Abraham will show you how to enter that Vortex, where you will rendezvous with everything and everyone you have been looking for. The Law of Attraction Essential Collection is the perfect read for those who want to deepen their understanding of the Teachings of Abraham® as well as anyone who would like to have all their favorite Hicks’ titles together in one volume.

The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind
Barbara Hand Clow - 2007
Using Carl Johan Calleman’s research, as well as the ideas of other Mayan Calendar scholars, Barbara Hand Clow examines 16.4 billion years of evolution to decode the creative patterns of Earth--the World Mind. These great patterns culminated in 2011, but subsequent astrological influences have continued to inspire us to attain oneness and enlightenment. The Mayan Code shows how the time cycles of the Calendar match important periods in the evolutionary data banks of Earth and the Milky Way Galaxy. These stages of evolution converged during the final stage of the Calendar, the period between 1999 and 2011. Evidence of the tightening spiral of time that we experience as time speeding up--war and territoriality, resource management and separation from nature--are all part of daily events we must process during the coming years. Barbara Hand Clow counsels that our own personal healing is the most important factor as we prepare to make this critical leap in human evolution--now referred to as the awakening of the World Mind.

Realm of the Ring Lords: The Myth and Magic of the Grail Quest
Laurence Gardner - 2000
Tolkein’s The Lord of the Rings, has been largely consigned to legend and half-remembered battles between good and evil. Shrouded in supernatural enigma, its legacy lives on in fascinating tales of fairies, elves, witches, and vampires. The most popular Grail stories relate to Arthurian tales of Guinevere’s golden Ring and the great iron-clad Ring of Camelot—the Knights of the Round Table. When this Ring was broken, the land fell into chaos and the forces of darkness reigned over the earth, starlight, and forest. Why do we sense deeper truths behind the mysteries of the Ring and the Grail? Why have their common enhancements been distorted and hidden? The ancient guardians of our culture have never featured positively in academic teachings, for they were the Shining Ones: the real progenitors of our heritage. Instead, their reality was quashed from the earliest days of Inquisitional suppression and the literal diminution of their figures caused a parallel diminishing of their history. In truth, however, the sovereign legacy of our culture comes from a place and time that might just as well be called Middle-earth as by any other name. It lingers beyond the twilight portal in the long distant realm of the Ring Lords.

The Search for a Soul: Taylor Caldwell's Psychic Lives
Jess Stearn - 1973
A skeptic about reincarnation, Miss Caldwell agreed to undergo hypnosis "in the interests of setting the theory of reincarnation to rest." Yet once in a trance, she lapsed into memories of other lives and other places-lives which make fascinating narratives in their own right, places that provide the background for many of her novels, memories that suggest a wealth of experience of which she has no conscious memory or knowledge. Drawing on his years of research in parapsychology and the writing skill that has made him a best-selling author, Jess Stearn tells an absorbing story, one that challenges our most comfortable assumptions about memory and immortality and casts new light on the work of an internationally admired novelist.
