Law of Attraction Glossary

This is a comprehensive glossary of Law of Attraction vocabulary and terminology, as used by Seth, Abraham Hicks, and Chris Bocay.

This comprehensive guide to Law of Attraction vocabulary is a work in progress. It is not a “finished product”, but a resource that is going to be continuously revised and enlarged.

THE GLOSSARY

A

Abraham-Hicks: A non-physical group consciousness with superhuman intelligence. They are referred to as Abraham, and they are speaking through Esther Hicks, who has been translating (or “channeling”) their message since 1986, and still does. Thus, the name Abraham-Hicks can be understood as “Abraham as translated by Esther Hicks”. They are typically referred to in third person plural. Thus, Esther Hicks says: “They were so intelligent . . . ” (Ask, p. xxviii); and Jerry Hicks says: “To quote Abraham’s definition of themselves . . .” (Deliberate, p. xx).

B

C

Creation by Default: This is one of the two ways we might use the Law of Attraction, the other being DELIBERATE CREATION. When we are “creating by default” we are simply unaware of that we are creating our physical reality around us with our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. And in that case, we simply get what we get, by virtue of our emotional mood, which typically, for most people, is on the negative half of the negativity-positivity spectrum. This normally results mostly in less pleasing manifestations.

D

Deliberate Creation: This is one of two ways to use Law of Attraction, the other being CREATION BY DEFAULT. When we are engaged in “deliberate creation” we are very attentive to detail: we always “navigate” or “steer” our thoughts in such a way that we are feeling as good as possible. By consciously being very selective in terms of what we are focusing our attention on, we can maximize our positive manifestations.

Hicks, Esther: Born in Coalville, Utah, Esther Hicks (1948-) is the channeler (translator, interpreter) of ABRAHAM-HICKS. Her first encounter with them happened at around Thanksgiving in 1985 (Ask, p. xxvi). From 1989 and until 2011, she has traveled with her late husband (Jerry Hicks) to approximately 50 cities a year, doing creative workshops (Vortex, p. 237). Since then, she has continued these workshops without her husband, and has also started the AbrahamNow online broadcasts for people who cannot attend the workshops in person.

Non-Physical: There are two “dimensions” (or “aspects”) of the totality of existence that are relevant to us here on Planet Earth. One such “dimension” is our own physical space-time reality. However, our physical reality was created from the original “dimension”: the non-physical part of existence. In non-physical there is the intelligent power of consciousness, which is the basis of everything. Our physical world therefore has emanated out of non-physical, and created all galaxies, solar systems, humans, and all other living creatures and things.

Roberts, Jane: Born in Albany, New York, Jane Roberts (1929-1984) was the channeler (translator, interpreter) of the non-physical “energy personality essence” called SETH (Speaks, p. 5). Together with her note-taking husband (Robert F. Butts) she managed to produce more than a dozen of books written by Seth. Simultaneously, she was also working on her own book projects.

S

Seth: Seth describes himself this way: “I am an energy personality essence, no longer focused in physical matter” (Speaks, p. 5). But he also says: “I use one portion of myself from many personalities that are available to my identity” (Speaks, p. 17); and adds: “this particular Seth personality that I, the larger Seth identity, adopt here . . .” (Speaks, p. 17; my added comma). Since Seth is now in the non-physical realm, and is not hindered by a human ego and its usual distancing from its Inner Being, Seth may also be considered to be a non-physical group consciousness with superhuman intelligence, similar to ABRAHAM-HICKS. Seth spoke through JANE ROBERTS, who was translating (or “channeling”) Seth’s message from 1963-1984. Seth mostly talks about “himself” in first person singular (“If you will remind me, I will say more . . .”, Dreams-2, p. 200; “Now give me a moment”, Speaks, p. 73), but sometimes also uses first person plural (“Give us a moment . . .”; Psyche, p. 201). Jane and her husband (Robert F. Butts) usually refer to Seth in third person singular. Thus, Jane says: “Seth has written a book . . .” (Speaks, p. xv); and Rob notes: “When Seth discusses . . .” (Unknown-1, p. 123).

Source-Heaven: This is a term used by Chris Bocay to clarify what the Law of Attraction philosophy’s idea of “heaven” is. The general idea of “heaven”, as found in mainstream religions and folklore, is typically a realm of a type of “static” afterworld existence, where everything is “perfect” and everlasting. And in some versions there is also a morally judgmental God involved. But Source-Heaven is not like that. Source-Heaven is not a sterile, non-changing environment, but a dynamic, ever-changing realm of intelligent, cooperative, and loving energy beings. In other words, Source (Inner Being, God) is not morally judgmental, but eternally brimming with love and appreciation for all beings in all universes.

V

Vortex: The Vortex is your personal “bank account” of all of your desired manifestations: Who do you want to be? What do you want have? What do you want to experience? Every desire is automatically and immediately processed, and all of these future manifestations are 99% ready for being “paid out” to you. But for most people, that last 1% (the “withdrawal”) is not an easy thing. For it requires sincere mental and emotional work (which most people are not very interested in doing). So in order to “withdraw” your accumulated “manifestation funds”, you must “consciously and deliberately achieve the vibrational frequency of your Vortex” (Vortex, p. 20). This means you must literally withdraw from focusing on all types of problems (family, relationship, money, work, health, etc.), and instead always practice being in a very good mood, all day, every day (“allowing mode”). You must be happy, energetic, and positively excited about your life and your future, in order to extract your manifestations from the Vortex and manifest them into your physical experience. That is the desired mood of a student who is truly mastering the Law of Attraction.

In Best Books on the Law of Attraction I list many important books about the general principles behind the Law of Attraction, and also give brief mini-summaries of important points mentioned in each book.

A similar approach is used in my article Best Books on Manifesting Better Health with Law of Attraction, where I instead focus on those Law of Attraction books that are especially helpful for people who want to improve their health.
