I don't work for J + E Hicks.  I am not getting any money.  

It is interesting to note that, in the book, practically every paragraph
changes lettering.  The boldness, size and type of letters are constantly
increasing and decreasing emphasis.  They also occassionally underline and
quote things.  I don't know whether these emphases were directed by Abraham or
Esther and Jerry.  Anyway, I left almost all of these markings out (except
where I thought it would be grammatically incorrect), not only because of the
obvious limitations of our medium, but because I thought it would be neat to
get the perspective of people who read this information "cold".

                         Realignment of Planet Earth



                              January 4, 1988

Why are we interacting with you from our nonphysical dimension, in this time?
What is the value of this interaction, and how will it enhance the life
experience that you are now living?

For many, there wil be no enhancement, for they are not ready to receive they
benefit of our experience.  In fact, they are not ready to accept that we exist
at all.  But those who accept our purpose and existence, may benefit by being
stimulated to see the earth from a broader perspective.

During the time that is before you, upon your planet earth, more of you will
recognize that you are more than you see in your physical bodies, and more of
you, through meditation, will open a pathway between your physical dimension
and the nonphysical dimension in which your Inner Being dwells.  And as you
accomplish this blending of your conscious being and your Inner Being, all
parts of your experience will be enhanced.

Much of your conscious physical training is contrary to that which allows the
blending of your being, but is a natural process, and is known by all of you
at some level of your knowing.  In the time that is before you, more of you
will become aware of the existence of this broader part of you, and through the
power of your conscious wanting, the blending will occur.

Because of the physical changes in your environment, there will be less
responding out of habit.  Very few of the established patterns for your life
experience will be untouched, and because of the radical difference in the way
in which you will experience physical life -- you will reach within to utilize
the vast reservoir of inner knowing.

As you examine your changing earth through your physical perspective, or even
through the perspective of those who have recorded, for your benefit, the
activities of your changing earth, you are not able to stand back far enough,
or long enough, to understand some of the longer seasons.

Those of us who are not in physical form at this time, who are not limited to
our memory of only one short physical lifetime, are aware of the history of
your changing earth and we are aware that you are moving into an era -- a
season -- of dramatic physical change.  From your shorter, closer perspective
it may be incomprehensible, but from our longer, broader perspective it is most
routine.  In fact, without exception, those of you who are now upon the earth
were aware of the changes, both physical and nonphysical in nature, and you
enthusiastically chose to participate, in physical form, during this time of
change, because you were aware of the value for all who participate.

The revolving sphere upon which you live is in the process of readjustment.  It
is seeking balance.  Gradually, over a very long period of time, it has gotten
out of balance.  What that means to you, in a physical sense, is that there
will be a sudden and dramatic jolting as your planet realigns itself.

From our broader perspective, we can tell you that this has occurred many times
in the history of the existence of the earth.  In fact, on more than one
occasion, a much more dramatic shifting has occurred than what is to be
experienced now.  This is a slight shifting which will bring about much
devastation in some areas on the surface of your earth while other areas will
be relatively free of destruction.

Now, the value that we offer you is this: We are providing you an opportunity
for preparation of a physical and an emotional nature -- for as you are aware
of what is to come into your life experience, from your broader inner
perspective, you will not see it as something to worry about or fear or dread,
but as something that has, indeed, been expected and anticipated with great
enthusiasm.

At the time that you chose this physical time and place, you were very much
aware of the opportunities for growth, for you understood the abilitites and
the potentials of your creative nature that have not been realized.

You understood, from that broader inner perspective, that in a time of change
there is much reflection on what is wanted.  And when one is wanting, and
allowing, there is much receiving, and when there is receiving, there is
contentment.  And so, if you do not compare what has been with what will be,
but instead, if you anticipate your ability to joyously move forward, in all
times -- then this time that is before you will, indeed, be one of joy and
growth.


                              January 6, 1988


It is our intent, in this section of the book, to give you as much detail as we
are able, as to what you will experience physically as your earth achieves this
partial shifting upon its axis.  We accentuate the word "partial", for it is
important that you understand that the shifting that is about to occur will
not mean the total destruction of your planet.  Nor will it mean the
destruction of all that exists upon its surface.  There will be, however, areas
of great devastation, where those who are dwelling will not survive -- while
there will be other areas of comparative safety.

All areas of your planet will experience tremors, and by your standards of
measuring earthquakes, the tremors will be significant, but not so significant
that everything, everywhere will be destroyed.  The land will not rupture
everywhere.

Because of the tremors, many of the structures that are less secure will be
damaged.  Large structures such as overpasses and bridges may be affected.
And certainly your transportation lines will be severed all around your earth.
We cannot speak with perfect accuracy as to the extent of the damage in every
area, for there are many possibilities.  The crust of your earth has much
variation in its strength, and we are not completely certain how these areas of
strength and weakness will affect one another.  Even in the areas of greatest
destruction, there may well be pockets of survivors.

We encourage you to utilize the excercises the have been offered here in this
book, through meditation, to quiet your physical awareness, that you may sense
your inner awareness -- for you have much access to guidance, from within, that
will serve you very well during this time of conscious uncertainty.

As you are blended with your Inner Being, you will have a very strong sensing,
not only of when the time of greatest danger is approaching, but about the
safety of the area in which you are present, as well.

When you understand, that by the power of the Law of Creation, that you will be
able to create anything that you are wanting, including finding the areas of
safety -- then you understand that the power is within you to be at the
appropriate place at the appropriate time.

In other words, you are not needing a map that has been offered by someone
else.  You may trust the inner knowing that is within you.  But many of you are
not trusting that knowing that is coming forth.  You do not trust yourselves to
make the proper decisions on a physical conscious level, and even more, you do
not trust yourself regarding the information from within, and for that reason
we are writing these words, that we may stimulate the knowing that is already
within you.

Recognize that the emotion that comes from within is a very strong guidance
system, and when you are feeling extremely uncomfortable, and you cannot
pinpoint a conscious reason for it, that there is a strong knowing coming forth
from within.

We offer our expectation of the areas of greatest destruction, that you may
make a decision, immediately, if you are living in such an area, to remove
yourself from it, for once the tremors begin, there will not be time to
evacuate.

Throughout the world, all areas which are near large bodies of water will
receive much damage, for the water will be very high and powerful as a result
of the severe jolting as your earth is shifting upon its axis.

In the United States the greatest damage caused by water will be on the east
and west coasts of the continent.  Because of the low elevation and the
extremely high and powerful water, much of the coastline will be literally
swept away, and large portions of those areas will no longer exist.  It is our
belief that much of the state of Florida will be swept away, or submerged, in
that fashion.

The following information pertains specifically to the United States of
America:
Aside from the damage that will be caused by water, there will also be much
upheaval of land as the sudden jolting of your earth will cause the crust to
push together and buckle in some areas, while it pulls apart in other areas.
Many of the more dangerous areas have already been pinpointed by scientists who
have been recording the movement of the earth's crust.  A well known earthquake
activity area which will receive tremendous damage runs lengthwise down the
state of California affecting major populations from San Francisco, to San
Diego, and even into Mexico.  Another area of great destruction, caused by
earthquake and volcanic activity, will begin near the northern border of the
United States, coming through the state of Idaho, through the state of Utah,
through the state of Arizona and into the state of New Mexico.  Another area of
greater destruction will surround the area of the Great Lakes, south to the
Mississippi River and to the southern boundary of the United States.  The east
coast will receive earthquake damage as well as the damage that will be caused
by water.

Much information has already been gathered by those who have been studying the
activity of your changing earth, and that information will be of value to you
as you are choosing your places of safety.  The areas that are near the fault
lines should be avoided.  Areas that are near any sign of volcanic activity,
should be avoided.  And areas that are near large bodies of water, even lakes,
should be avoided.

You may have already recognized that there are more areas of safety than of
devastation.  And so, it is a matter of intending to be in an area of safety
with a clear intent for the continuation of this physical experience.

We encourage those who are intending to remain in this physical dimension to
begin, at once, preparing for a time of short supply, for as your
transportation lines are severed, many of the sources for food, and other
things that you are wanting, will not be adequate for the numbers who are
seeking.

Each of you, absolutely, have the ability to create whatever you are wanting,
whenever you are wanting it, and so we agree it is not necessary for survival,
to make this preparation, but we encourage it, because as you are prepared
physically, as well as emotionally, you will be in a position of strength, and
more able to focus your creative ability on the task of rebuilding and of
encouraging others.

From your position of preparedness and strength you will be of much more value
to those who surround you than if you are unprepared.

We offer these words to you, that you may have an opportunity to digest the
information and make a clear decision about what you want to experience during
the shift and the realignment of your earth.  You have great control over the
way you participate in this experience.

Like the seasons, or the setting of the sun, the shifting of the earth upon its
axis is outside of your creative alteration -- but your experience within it
is clearly not outside of your creative alteration.

And so, in these next months, we encourage you to think about what you want --
to remain in physical form or not -- envisioning the life experience that you
intend.  Begin creating your future, now, through the power of your creative
thought.

We interact with you because we have agreed that we would and because we
understand your intent regarding this event.  We are aware of your intentional
and enthusiastic participation within this event from your broader inner
perspective, and we offer these words to you, that you may bring that knowing
forth from your inner being to your conscious awareness, so that the event will
not be one of tragedy and unhappiness -- but, instead, a fulfillment of that
which has been excitedly anticipated since long before your birth into this
physical life.


                              January 7, 1988

There is excited anticipation, from your Inner Being, regarding the events the
are about to occur, for from that perspective, you are keenly aware of the
value of change and of new experience.

Your Inner Being understands that change and new experience are valuable
catalysts to receive growth, and growth is a primary intention for
participating in this life experience.  Your physical conscious inclination is
to get things to a more stable point so that you will not need to experience
change.  You seek points of comfort, and we agree, there is not much comfort
where there is continual change.

As you accomplish the blending that we have been speaking about, of your Inner
Being and your conscious physical being, you will consciously begin seeking
experiences that will bring forth growth, for in those experiences will come
much joy and satisfaction.

If you are looking at the dramatic changes that will take place on your planet
earth during the next years, from the perspective of one who seeks the comfort
of sameness, then you will find great dissatisfaction and unpleasantness in
that which is to come.

If you are viewing the events that are to come, from the perspective of one who
seeks growth, and understands that growth comes from new experience, then you
will be filled with excited anticipation -- for you know that within the new
experience will come joy and growth.

It is our knowing, that once you have an opportunity to digest this
information, that most of you will emerge with a healthy anticipation of this
event, and while some of you are satisfied with the life experiences you have
created, more of you are experiencing unrest and dissatisfaction.

For the most part, you are not content and joyous beings -- for you are not
doing that which brings forth contentment and joy.

Intending, then allowing, and then receiving, is what brings forth contentment
and joy.  And most of you have withdrawn from the position of making decisions
about what you want.

The realignment of your earth will bring more of you, simultaneously, to a
point of thinking of what you are wanting.

As you focus upon what is most important to you, you will receive the
satisfying life experience of creating it.  And much of the confusion which
stifles your deliberate Creative Process will be immediately eliminated, as
only those things which are most important to you will have your attention.

It will be a time of clarity of purpose and of thought.  A time of more
deliberate creating.  And while many of you will continue to create by default,
more of you will be actively creating in the direction of that which you are
intentionally thinking about, and more beings will come to understand the
Creative Process.

A planetary shift is not needed to have this knowing, and it is not something
that is being thrust upon you as a punishment, or a cleansing.  It is a
physical event, brought about by the characteristics of the earth in its
physical dimension, just as your seasons are.  And as you know, consciously,
approximately when to expect summer and winter and spring and fall -- from your
broader all-knowing perspective, you are also aware of this new season.


                               January 7,1988

To assist you in your visualization of your preferred life experience, during
and in the time following the shifting of the earth upon its axis, we offer the
following information.

We preface this information with this statement of knowledge: The majority of
your thoughts which bring forth fearful emotion have no valid basis.

Most often, when the emotion of fear is present within you, the thought that is
present is pointed toward some unwanted event that you believe is lurking in
your future, and once you understand that every future event is of your
choosing -- for you are attracting those future events with your thoughts --
then you will recognize that the fearful emotion is coming forth to guide you
away from thoughts of miscreation.

The emotions that you feel, are always responding to the present moment.
Therefore, if fear comes forth because of your thought regarding the future,
recognize that there is no basis for that fear -- since you can alter the
future by altering your thoughts.  And recognize that as you allow fearful
emotion to persist, you are also allowing creation toward that which you fear.

And so, we offer this information, not to give you something to fear, but so
that you can make specific plans of preparation that will assist you in a more
effective visualization of a time of comfort and survival.

At the time of the sudden realignment, and for many months thereafter, the
entire surface of the earth will experience significant tremors.  There will be
a severe jolting at the beginning, and then continual, but not so significant,
tremors as a sort of settling down process occurs.

In some areas, as we have noted earlier, there will be great upheaval of land,
and much loss of life for those who are present in those areas at the time of
the earth shift.  But many more areas will not experience an upheaval of land,
while there will be significant tremors experienced.

We encourage you not to remain inside of any building while the tremors are
occuring.  Your automobile will provide safer shelter.

We advise that you immediately locate an open area that is free from the
possibility of something falling upon it.  Avoid areas that are beneath trees,
power poles or next to mountain sides or large buildings.  Avoid any area where
something may fall upon you.

We recommend that you put a supply of food and water and warm clothing in your
automobile, so that in a moment's notice you can be outside of a building and
moving quickly toward your designated place of safety.  Many lives will be
saved as a result of this preplanning.

Your greatest inconvenience, as a result of the impending earthquakes, will be
a severe shortage of food, because your lines of supply will be severed.

We encourage you to set aside enough food and other essential supplies to last
for a period of 6 to 12 months.

As you are evaluating the time and effort and dollars that are involved in that
preparation, you will find that it is much less than you think, and certainly
not outside the creative capability of anyone.

You may feel that you should make preparation for those you know who will not
make preparation for themselves, and while it is a generous intention and
satisfying in many ways, it is not a practical plan.  As you are storing enough
for yourself and your family for 365 days, it will not be a major expense, and
will not require a large amount of storage space, and you will be extremely
happy that you have made that preparation.

However, if 365 of your friends, or neighbors, who have not made preparation,
join you on the first day, you will all do well for that one day, but there
will be much hardship as you are all met with short supply for the rest of the
year.

We encourage you to be responsible for your own life experience and to
encourage those who are around you to do the same.  We state, very clearly,
here, that you cannot create in the experience of another, nor do they want you
to, from their broader, wiser inner perspective.

Trust that those who are wanting will receive, and do not attempt to do their
creating for them.

In many areas, another major inconvenience will be the loss of electricity.
Since much of your comfort and convenience depends upon access to electricity,
we encourage you to turn your electricity off for a day or two, so that you may
experience, first hand, a clear vision of what you will be wanting.  And now,
while there is no short supply, you will be able to acquire that which will
assist you in comfort.

There will be dramatic weather changes, all around the earth, and extremely
cold temperatures even in areas that are usually warm.  Therefore, a supply of
fuel, and, certainly, warm clothing will be most appreciated at the time of the
shift.

There will be extreme wind and much rain following the jolting realignment.

Volcanic ash will be experienced in all parts of your world, as the volcanos
around your earth are simultaneously activated.  Face masks to protect your
lungs, and goggles to protect your eyes, will be of great value.

We are aware that you may have difficulty accepting the reality of this
physical event, but we encourage you to acknowledge our broader perspective.
If our words move you to no physical action, but do stimulate you to a clear,
conscious, deliberate intention to continue physical life experience, we are
pleased.  For we understand the power of intent, and as you intend survival,
and continued physical life experience, you will attract the circumstances that
will provide that.

We encourage you to not only intend continuation of your physical life
experience, but joyous continuation.  Visualize, within your own Creative
Workshop, that which you want to experience -- for as you paint the picture in
your creative mind, you will be setting into motion the creation for that which
you experience.

See this as a time when the creative talents that have been, perhaps, dormant
within you will surface and bring forth great satisfaction.

Imagine yourself living happily in a time of adventure, a time of change and in
a time of new.  See yourselves as pioneers who will exuberantly set out to
create, from a new perspective, whatever sort of world you would prefer.
