Books : The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent: Living the Art of Allowing: Finding the Path to Joy Through Energy Balance

Rating: - Vibrant!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I agree with a couple of the other reviewers that this book is somewhat similar to the first book "Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires". There is, though, a distinct difference in that this book covers the journet to securing what you desire, as opposed to getting what you desire. I really do like the writings of the Hicks' and therefore lean towards their writing style and the lift it gives the reader. The exercises are the same as the first book, this is not in doubt and the writing a little padded out, but you cannot knock Esther Hicks for her style in putting it across.

Rating: - A tool for fundamental change
This is the fourth 'Abraham' book I have read, having started with 'Ask and It Is Given', and been helped very much by it. The 'Abraham' teachings present a message which is essentially very simple, but so far-reaching that it is helpful to have several books devoted to it. Our thoughts produce a particular vibration, depending on their emotional content; this vibration attracts similar thoughts, which eventually become a physical manifestation. By being aware of how our thoughts FEEL, we will know whether the manifestation which will follow from them will be what we desire, or what we do NOT desire. Armed with this awareness, we can control our life experience, by a simple process of reaching for a thought that feels better. Better feeling thoughts then attract more of the same, and our external experience begins to mirror this. Yes there is some repetition of material between the books, but for me this does not detract from them. Each has a somewhat different angle on the message, and it all helps one to take on board the most helpful tool for positive change I have come across. The books are all easy to read and follow, without ever being patronising, and I find myself referring to them over and over again. Highly recommended.

I like listening to this CD set as it gives examples on how to move up the vibrational scale. I learnt so much more about the Abraham teaching using this CD book. It's all in Ask and It is Given and at the seminars, but this set gives you step by step examples of HOW to do it, not just telling you the concept. If you WANT to FEEL GOOD, then buy this set. I loved it so much I bought a brand new set and gave my original to my best friend. Jerry had a moment in time years ago (decades?) where he reached what some people would term 'enlightenment'. I find his way of reading is very relaxing allows me to carry on either doing what I am doing or drifting off to sleep if I'm having a nap. I've listened to it quite a few times and am still getting valuable information. It really has helped me to get to better feeling places much more easily! So, if you want to learn a way to feel better more quickly and easily when life throws you a spanner than buy this amazing CD set. :-)

Rating: - Not just the goal but the journey
I like this book because the focus is not merely on achieving a goal instead its on creating the right energy so that you enjoy the process without unduly focusing on achievement. This book offers you more than you might expect.

It's a good book for anyone seeking to make progress in their spiritual life. I also liked "Islands of the Soul" by Victoria Tunnermann, "Nexus" by Morrison & Singh and "Effortless Wellbeing" by Evan Finer.

Rating: - Ask and It is Given and The Law of Attraction are much better
I have read 'Ask and It is Given' and 'The Law of Attraction' and found them both to be brilliant and complimentary to each other. I would definitely recommend reading both of these books. I am still a novice and have lots to learn still I'm sure, however these books really have helped me focus my life and my thoughts differently and I have seen amazing results. I'd like to think that I always had a positive outlook but these books have helped me 'fine tune' my thoughts and I'm learning more about my 'power' everyday. It really is true that 'things' find you if you apply the principles. I bought 'The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent' but don't find it so inspiring or powerful. It is a re-hash and not written so well in my opinion. Save your money and buy the other two.
