Ask and it is given by Esther and Jerry Hicks.?

Greetings! I have read this book. For me there was nothing related to the occult. I was raised a Christian but have lots of beliefs that I don't mention in church for fear someone might have a heart attack. God is so much bigger than a single religion. We try so hard to put "him" in a box or church building because it is something we can understand. Instead of God making man in "his" image, we make God in our image so we can relate better. There is an entire world of spirit around us all the time. The Bible speaks of it throughout when it talks about the angels, heavenly bodies, etc. Throughout the history covered in the Bible there have been people blessed with a higher connection to this realm. In the Jewish Bible (old testament) prophets were highly regarded. Dream interpeters were given great respect. After Jesus, this was no longer the case. Its not that they didn't and don't currently exist, it was just made to look like a sin to listen to such a person. When Constantine had his "religious leaders" compile the New Testament, I feel a great deal of thought was put into thte best way to unify the Roman Empire and also to put forth the greatest control of the population through religion. There are 100s of other religious texts of the time that were not included in the Bible. Many of these actually talk about more spiritual aspects of God and Jesus. By making the Bible look like it says not to follow any such person, leadership was placed on the Roman leadership instead of the leadership of God. God - the Holy Spirit - the Will of God - Spirital Guides, whatever you want to call our connection to God, it is there all the time. When Esther Hicks hears from "Abraham" I think she is connecting with this higher realm. I had my first experience with this when I was 4 years old. I didn't even know about God and Jesus to any great extent at that young age, but I know it happened. It has happened for me several times over my life time. I have no doubt of its presence. Everyone has the ability to connect, however, each person has to believe that it can be done with no doubts. Doubts are what seperate us from God. When Jesus tells us that if we have faith we could move the mountain, this is what he is telling us. As humans, we will never 100% totally believe we can speak to the mountain and it will move. There is always an element of doubt. We are all capable of so much more than we could ever imagine but we don't have total faith that we can so therefore, we can't. This ability to have faith is where the power of attraction comes into play.
