A friend of mine is really into the Abraham Hicks thing. I’ve listened to her tapes and it sounds rather interesting. So is she for real? :dubious:

She’s as “real” as any psychic or spirit medium. In other words, what matters is if YOU think she’s real.

From [wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham-Hicks):

> [@](#):

> **Teachings**  
> A key teaching of the Abraham Group is that achieving your desires is done by feeling hopeful and positive about those goals, rather than fearful. The teachings often refer to vibrations - in the nature of, your thoughts are ‘vibrations’ that influence the ‘vibrations of reality,’ and in this way have a real impact on the physical word. To summarise, if you think positive thoughts, and so align up your good vibration, good things will happen to you. Equally, if something bad happens to you, then in some sense it was your own doing, because you must have aligned up your bad vibration to encourage or endorse it. An example - when referring to the people who died in the September 11 terrorist attacks, Abraham says “There are no victims, there are only co-creators.”

Yeah. What **EV.**

In other words, the 9/11 victims had it coming. What a fucking tool.
