Quantum Spirit: The Most Profound Question

The Most Profound Question

For 20 years, Esther Hicks has been "translating" ~ she prefers that word to "channeling" ~ a group of non-physical energies collectively known as "Abraham." I've read a couple of the Esther and Jerry Hicks "Abraham" books and find them fascinating and good guides for living.

I particularly like this short video, where a smart-alecky fellow poses a seemingly stupid question to Abraham ~ almost in the form of a heckle ~ and the answer he receives is incredibly wise.

Please take the three minutes to watch this video to the end. It's worth it.
