The Vortex: Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships Paperback – 1 Sept. 2009

One of the great things about the principles expounded by Abraham are in my view that they exist at all. What I mean is, isn't it fantastic that it turns out that the Universe has been constructed in this way, that we ourselves can control everything in our lives, that nothing happens by chance, and that we cannot be victims except by the power of our own negativity? I think it's wonderful, like a fairy tale, or a dream come true. Pity we weren't taught all this in school or on our mother's knee.My favourite Abraham book is "Ask and it is given". I found it slightly difficult to get into this one - for some reason I didn't find it particulary readable at first.In this book Abraham for the first time, I think, talks about "the Vortex", "Vortex of attraction" or "Vortex of becoming". This apparently contains all the requests you have ever made, and when you finally get into the Vortex by continually reaching for better and better thoughts, all your wishes will be granted - you will become "You", as Abraham puts it.The book is highly inspiring. I think perhaps no one Abraham book is necessarily better than any other, but the more you read the books and try to practice the precepts, the more you integrate the teachings, i.e. the more you really "get it", and the more you understand and appreciate the next book. So when I got to the end of the book, I felt it was the best of their books, not necessarily because it actually is (and anyway there is no objective truth), but because I've got slightly further in the process.Abraham says that the fastest way to improve matters in your life is to make peace with your current situation and make lists of all the positive aspects you can find about it i.e. make the best of where you are.A few years ago I was sleeping on a mattress on the floor because I couldn't afford a bed, although my physical problems were such that I had difficulty getting up from it. But every night I thanked the Universe for my comfortable mattress, and after a few months an acquaintance informed me she wanted to give me a bed + mattress she no longer had use for, and couldn't be bothered to sell. She and her partner drove it out to my flat, installed it and carted away the old mattress to the dump.Before that I had lived in a tiny one-room flat, but again thanked the Universe every night for it. After a few months, I was offered a bigger and better flat, and a friend's husband and family helped me with the removal, transporting all my stuff to the new place at no cost to me.In both cases I had got into the Vortex by the act of gratitude.Back to the book. There are useful chapters about "mating", sexuality, parenting and self-appreciation. And finally, prior to the transcript of the enjoyable and amusing CD, we are offered a few simple processes to help release resistance and find a path into the Vortex. I will be doing these processes when I've bought an exercise book.I strongly recommend this book to EVERYONE. Five stars.

The Vortex builds on many key concepts introduced in Abraham-Hicks' previous work, with exceptional clarity and insight.Abraham-Hicks tirelessly present the reader with a myriad of scenarios that demonstrate the core principle at work in the Law of Attraction, which is vibrational alignment with our Inner Being. Starting with removing our faulty perception of separation from our Non-Physical Source, they show us how that particular relationship underpins all of our relationships.In clear, easy-to-understand language, their words lovingly reveal no less than twenty-two flawed premises on which many of us, today, live our lives and how those flawed beliefs undermine our spiritual birthright, and our desire to experience joy and happiness. Indeed, Abraham-Hicks' goal is to show us how our vibrational alignment with our Vortex of Creation can help us to create the loving, joyous relationships that we most desire.Key topics that they touch on are intimate relationships, parent-child relationships, running a household, finding the right and perfect partner, government and its place in our evolving society, sexuality and our physical expression, humans and their interactions with animals, negative childhoods, how we evoke particular behaviours from those around us, and inspiring others versus motivating others, to name a few.Whilst it will certainly help to have read one or two of their previous books, it is not necessary to understand the Law of Attraction and The Vortex of Creation.This book is an excellent read from beginning to end - an exceptional masterpiece that you will want to refer to again and again!

This is an amazing book you do not need to be spiritual or religious, to get value from the words within this book. Much of it is written in Q &A form. It is laid out simply and at times is repetitive, because it is after all a study, and study requires repetition. Anyone getting angry or any other negative feelings from this script, is obviously not ready for the lessons and valuable information/education within it. I would recommend that these people put the book on a shelf, and when they are ready it will once more be brought to their attention. Happy reading...happy life.
