Ask And It Is Given Hicks

Ever wish you could just ask the universe for a parking spot? Or a winning lottery ticket? Well, Esther and Jerry Hicks claim you can. Their book, Ask and It Is Given, is a wild, wonderful guide to cosmic ordering.

The Core Idea: You’re a Magnet

Here’s the quirky gist: you are a magnet. Your thoughts and feelings send out a signal. The universe (or your “Inner Being”) just delivers what matches that signal.

It’s not magic. It’s law. The Law of Attraction, they say. Like attracts like. So, worry about debt? You attract more debt. Instead, focus on abundance.

The Fun Part: The 22 Processes

The book isn’t just theory. It gives you 22 processes—little games to play. They are delightfully weird. Process #1? “The Rampage of Appreciation.” You literally list things you love for two minutes.

Another favorite is “The Wouldn’t It Be Nice…?” Game. You daydream. “Wouldn’t it be nice if I found $20?” That’s it. No pressure. Just playful releasing.

Quirky Fact: The Vortex

Hicks talks about the Vortex. Think of a whirling cloud of your best life. Everything you ever wanted is already there, waiting. Your job is to “get into the Vortex” by feeling good.

Feeling sad? You’re outside. Feeling excited? You’re inside. It’s like a cosmic theme park. The only ticket is your mood.

The “Butterfly Effect” of Feelings

Here’s the giggle-worthy detail: you don’t have to believe it will happen. You just have to feel it’s possible. One second of relief is enough. That tiny feeling shifts your signal.

Imagine a radio. You turn the dial from “staticky panic” to “calm hope.” Boom. The universe hears you. It’s that simple—and that silly.

Why It’s Fun to Talk About

It’s fun because it takes the pressure off. If you mess up, the book says, “Don’t worry! You can ask again!” The universe has an infinite supply of parking spots.

Also, the Hicks couple are characters. Esther channels a group of beings called “Abraham.” Jerry just sat there and took notes. Imagine your grandpa whispering, “Ask for a pizza—the universe delivers.”

The Secret Sauce: Contrast

The book has a spicy twist: contrast is your friend. Feeling angry? Good! That anger tells you what you do want. It’s a compass. Use it.

So, that annoying boss? He’s your teacher. He shows you what freedom feels like. Weird, right? But it makes you curious about your own feelings.

Should You Try It?

Why not? It’s free. The only risk is feeling a little bashful. Next time you’re stuck in traffic, whisper: “Wouldn’t it be nice if…?” You might giggle. That’s the point.

Hicks says the universe can’t resist a giggle. So ask for something ridiculous. A unicorn. A free donut. Then watch. The fun is in the asking, not just the getting.
