"Abraham" is not a singular person, but rather a group of evolved teachers that communicate a broader perspective of life and guide people to achieve a greater sense of self-awareness and well-being. This communication takes the form of channeling, where Esther Hicks enters into a meditative state and conveys messages from this collective. Esther Hicks, through her interpretation of Abraham's messages, has played a significant role in popularizing the law of attraction and has influenced the New Thought movement with her books and seminars.

Neville Goddard was a profoundly influential teacher, author, and lecturer of the metaphysical and New Thought movements during the mid-20th century. Goddard's philosophy was elegantly simple yet profound: he taught that the human imagination is God and that this divine aspect of our nature creates reality. His concept was rooted in a mystical interpretation of the Bible. Goddard articulated the principle that individuals can manifest their desires by assuming the feeling of their wishes being fulfilled. His teachings continue to inspire those who find power and potential in the concept that the individual can directly shape their reality through disciplined mental and emotional practice.
