The discourse explains the nature, function and relationships of Spirit, Will, Ego and Minds and examines creation within this world and on other levels of consciousness. This emerging system of thought heralds a new direction in spiritual thinking. Abraham provides original diagrams explaining spiritual concepts that have previously defied depiction.

For those seeking understanding, this work is nothing less than astounding. It is not just a hodgepodge of ideas taken from differing belief systems. Rather, it is an innovative philosophy explaining concepts that remain unreconciled in other ideologies. Seekers of a spiritual philosophy will be amazed at The Initiator's clear depiction of such complex concepts as boundary consciousness, spirit-body, probable thoughts, resonate recreation, receivership, the direct request, the law of sow and reap and others.

A chapter is devoted to the application of these newly described concepts in daily life.

About the authors
Judith Ann Sutherland, Ph.D., is a Registered Nurse with a Master's degree in psychiatric mental health nursing from U.C.L.A. and a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Texas, Austin. She worked with dying patients for ten years and has been active in the mental health field for twenty-three years. At age twenty, she had a spontaneous out of body experience that affected her deeply and sent her on a life long pursuit for understanding of spiritual and psychic phenomena. Working closely with dying, emotionally troubled and mentally ill patients, she was consistently astounded by the strength of the human spirit. The death of her mother and her mother's after death visitations confirmed her resolving belief in life after death. She began experimenting with automatic writing and over a period of years received dictations from the spiritual being who identifies himself as Abraham- The Initiator.

Larry Sutherland, M.Ed., LPC is a therapist currently working with the mentally/emotionally troubled in private practice. In earlier years, Larry examined many different philosophies, including some Eastern religions and the Edgar Cayce material. He came to believe that no system of thought was conclusive. He began taking ideas from diverse ideologies and developed a composite philosophy, knowing full well it too was imperfect. Meeting Judith and assisting with the development of the Abraham material has been particularly rewarding for Larry. Others struggling with concepts in conflict will find this extraordinary work most interesting and enlightening.
