Introduction
In the first article, we translated the Law of Attraction into something grounded, nervous-system aware, and kind.
In this second part, we explore another core Abraham Hicks idea:
Source.
Abraham teaches that:
- all beings are extensions of Source
- Source is the origin of life and energy
- humans are not separate from it
For many neurodivergent people, this idea can feel:
- comforting and expansive
- deeply intuitive
- but also confusing or incomplete when questioned deeply
This article is not here to argue against Abraham Hicks.
It is here to place their teachings correctly — as a powerful beginning, not a total explanation of reality.
Why “Source” Instead of “God”
The word God often carries:
- authority
- hierarchy
- judgment
- control
For many people — especially neurodivergent people — this language can feel unsafe or alienating.
Source points somewhere else:
- origin rather than authority
- emergence rather than command
- continuity rather than obedience
Source is not a ruler watching from above.
Source is the process through which existence happens.
What Abraham Means by “Source”
When Abraham Hicks speaks about Source, they are not describing:
- a supernatural being
- a moral judge
- a controller of events
They are pointing toward:
- interconnectedness
- the continuity of life
- the idea that consciousness is not isolated
In simple terms:
Source is not outside reality.
Source is reality unfolding.
“You Are an Extension of Source”
Literal interpretation (often misleading)
This idea is sometimes understood as:
You are all-powerful.
You create everything that happens to you.
This interpretation can unintentionally lead to:
- self-blame
- spiritual pressure
- guilt around suffering
Grounded translation
What this actually points to:
You are a local expression of a larger living system.
Like:
- a wave in the ocean
- a branch on a tree
- a cell in a body
You are not separate from Source, but you are also not in control of the whole.
You participate.
Co-Creators, Not Controllers
Abraham often uses the word co-creator.
Co-creation means:
- influence, not command
- participation, not domination
- relationship, not control
Humans shape reality through:
- perception
- action
- attention
- interaction with others
Always within real constraints:
- biology
- environment
- society
- chance
- other people’s agency
This is not a failure of alignment. This is how living systems function.
Participation Instead of Control
Many spiritual interpretations slide from participation into control.
This is where pressure appears.
A more accurate and kinder framing is:
Humans are participants and co-creators within reality, not its managers.
Participation means:
- you affect the system
- the system affects you
- meaning emerges through interaction
Nothing is static. Nothing is isolated. Nothing is fully owned.
The Nervous System: The Real Foundation
Abraham Hicks rarely names the nervous system directly —
but their teachings revolve around it.
What Abraham calls:
- alignment
- resistance
- guidance
- vibration
Neuroscience calls:
- regulation
- threat response
- capacity
- emotional processing
At its core, Abraham’s work teaches people to notice their inner state.
That is self-regulation.
Emotions Are Signals — Not Universal Truth
Abraham often describes emotions as guidance.
This works only when translated carefully.
Emotions do not reveal:
- universal truth
- moral correctness
- Source’s perspective
They reveal:
- how your nervous system is responding
- based on biology, memory, context, and safety
Sadness does not mean wrong thinking. Fear does not mean misalignment. Anger does not mean spiritual failure. Emotions are data.
Why Abraham Starts Here
This is an important clarification.
Abraham Hicks speaks to a wide audience many of whom:
- have never listened to their emotions
- override their bodies constantly
- live disconnected from inner experience
For those people, the message:
“Your inner world matters”
is radical and healing.
Abraham’s teachings are therefore introductory: they build emotional awareness and self-regulation first.
This is not a flaw. It is intentional.
Why Some People Need More Than Abraham Offers
Once emotional awareness is established, deeper questions naturally arise:
- What about trauma?
- What about biology and neurodivergence?
- What about power, manipulation, and harm?
- What about emotions that mislead or overwhelm?
- What about systems that cannot be “aligned” with?
Abraham does not fully address these questions, not because they are wrong, but because they are teaching the beginning, not the whole map.
For questioning minds, this matters to know.
Neurodivergence and Source
Neurodivergent people often:
- already feel intensely
- already monitor internal states constantly
- already experience emotional overload
So Abraham’s starting point may feel:
- familiar
- insufficient
- or even pressuring if taken literally
This does not mean neurodivergent people are “bad at alignment”. It means we often begin beyond step one.
A Kinder Understanding of Source
Source is not:
- a judge
- a test
- a reward system
- a demand for positivity
Source is:
- the ongoing process of life
- relationship instead of hierarchy
- participation instead of control
You do not need to master Source.
You already belong to it.
Both spiritual and scientific perspectives converge on the same truth: meaningful participation requires a felt sense of belonging.
A Gentle Summary
When translated with care, Abraham Hicks’ teachings point to this:
Emotional awareness and self-regulation are the foundation of a healthier relationship with life.
They are a beginning:
- not a complete philosophy
- not a full scientific explanation
- not a moral compass
And that is okay.
Closing
Abraham Hicks speaks in metaphor because they are trying to reach people where they are: at the threshold of noticing their inner world.
When we understand their work as a starting place, not a final authority, it becomes both safer and more powerful.
What remains is not magical thinking, but an invitation to care for our inner life with honesty and gentleness.
And that is something worth keeping! 🌈🌱
