Sara, Book 2: Solomon's Fine Featherless Friends (2007) - Plot & Excerpts
I give these books much more credit than Esther and Jerry Hicks' how-to sounding Law of Attraction series. These books, under the guise of prose, let you follow Sara, a young girl learning about the Law of Attraction with her wise ethereal owl friend, Solomon. She meets a new friend Seth, who she reluctantly introduces to Solomon. Together, they embark on a magical adventure in transforming their realities. Esther Hicks authors a brilliant piece of Law of Attraction propaganda. Not only does it relay all the important messages of creating ones reality, but it presents them in an easy to understand format. This actually presents them in the best way I have yet to see from Esther Hicks. In fact, it is a wonder to me that anyone bothers with their other works. It is fun, frisky, and playful. In regards to the flying scenes contained within this book, I suggest you use the same caution with your children as you would when reading them Peter Pan. Remind them kindly to leap off the couch first, then the roof. What is best about this book is that, as a parent, you can start convincing your child of their ability to use their imagination to pretend that reality operates differently than it actually does. It's the ultimate Santa Clause. Convince them to delude themselves about anything! Show them that they CAN do it! And let them know how much Abraham material is available to help them! Abraham will validate them, tell them how wonderful they are, and encourage all their narcissistic tendencies. They will come to adore Abraham more than you ever could have imagined. The downside? Do not be surprised when they feel tremendous guilt around the things they are not able to manifest. Just be concerned when they start to doubt Abraham Hicks when the things they want aren't showing up in their lives.
In book 2 of the Sara books, introducing children to ways to use law of attraction to better their lives, Sara meets Seth, a new boy in school. Seth has moved many times throughout his life, as compared with Sara, who has always lived in the same town. His family has seen hard times, and we see throughout the book that his father in particular is resigned to bad luck and difficulties, and never considers the possibility that circumstances could become better. Though he places many demands on Seth, the boy is more easy-going and ignores the bad stuff, preferring to talk about and focus on what he enjoys. He befriends Sara, who is at first reluctant to be close to anyone or to share her secrets. As their friendship grows, they find much in common, not the least of which is a wise owl who teaches them about law of attraction.Compared with the first book, this book teaches more by example than words, and there is more of a plot. The children know that being happy is the way to get best results in life. But what to do when they’re caught skipping school, or when the secret treehouse that Seth built in a remote location is discovered and the landowner threatens to chop down the tree to keep the kids away? Solomon, the owl, gives the children advice on how to deal productively with these problems, how to focus their minds on the good aspects of the situations and have faith in good results.This feel-good book is appropriate for both children and adults. It’s a lighthearted demonstration of law of attraction in action. Anyone familiar with the Abraham-Hicks teachings, or who wants to learn the secret behind “The Secret” will enjoy this book.
What do You think about Sara, Book 2: Solomon's Fine Featherless Friends (2007)?
I was looking for a book to scoop me up and keep me wanting to turn each page. The first 50 pages were slow and I was so disappointed. Then I remembered this was a YA book, so the basic story wasn't necessarily as compelling as others I have read. Then the pages turned to gold and the simplicity of the story made understanding the Law of Attraction so much easier to comprehend. Yes I have read and try to practice this way of thinking, but it is so helpful to read it in a simplistic manner for an easy refresher.
