Solomon's Fine Featherless Friends

Sara #2

by Esther Hicks, Jerry Hicks

From that opening exclamation, this second Sara novel rampages through chapter after chapter of fun and adventure.

Solomon (the owl from the first book who "speaks without moving his lips") reappears and gives Sara and her classmate Seth a fresh and enlightening perspective on life on this planet.

Simply put, these two adventurous, tree-climbing friends dialogue with their ethereal feathered mentor regarding their varied (and sometimes confusing) experiences with parents, teachers, other students, neighbors, and property owners. The clarity, understanding, and wisdom that Solomon gives them results in some surprisingly practical views on the rules of the game of life. This is a must-read book for young people of all ages!

This book is funny, lovely and just feels like home to me. I loved meeting Seth, will forever love Sarah and Solomon is someone I wish I'd have in my life too. It's full of wisdom, yet feels so easy to read.

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.

I'm really liking this series of books! Talking more about the law of attraction for kids to understand it; in story form. Sara meets a new friend Seth; and of course Solomon who helps them in the understanding of the law of attraction.

This turned out to be such a beautiful book, it focuses on feeling good and how it's super easy to have good things in life. after reading this book i felt more content than i felt after reading the 1st book. This has to be one of the best underrated books I've come across.
i was reading a peice of literature but then midway decided to switch to this book and i don't regret it one bit. if I were to recommend something to someone in order to add some value in their life then this book would be it.
such a beautiful book. i can write about it for hours but i think it's better for me to stop right here.

I love the law of attraction

First off I’m a 48 year old child, I’ve read all the Abraham books, but none of them resonated with me like the Sarah books do. I feel in complete alignment with source when I read them, I laugh out loud and tears of joy run down my face. No matter how old you are these books will help you understand the Law of Attraction. So what are you waiting for? Get to reading

Second story: Sara, Solomon, Seth skipping school, spelunking & snakes!

A wise owl shares the wisdom of The Law of Attraction.
A book emphasizing Friendship, Relationships, & Teamwork.

In book one we met Sara and Solomon, a reference to Esther and Abraham. In book two, a new character named Seth is introduced. Here, Jerry and Esther Hicks allude to the beginnings of their life-changing experience after reading Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul.

Favorite Passages:

He had decided it was just as well to leave this as one of the great mysteries of the Universe.
________

The circumstances somehow seemed to create a new feeling of clarity; and Seth jumped into action, feeling alive and stimulated.
________

We are all birds of a feather, you know. Sara remembered Solomon's words: Seth is an intense seeker, a born uplifter - and a true teacher.
Sara smiled. "This is going to be very interesting," she said out loud.
________

He is one of those rare humans who has learned to live in the moment. Rather than carrying forward the feeling form something that has happened before, he is allowing himself to respond to the clarity of your moment together.
________

When two people get together and they both hold the same desire of feeling good, great things always come from that.
_______

A large bird flushed up from the bushes and few up into the sky. "Hey," Seth said, "that looks like an owl. Sara, do you think that's your owl?"
"That's not him."
"How do you know?" Seth asked. "How can you tell for sure that it's not the same owl?"
"Because my owl's dead!" Sara blurted.
_______

And before long, just as Seth had guessed, the stream made a sharp turn and straight ahead lay the cemetery. "How many dead people are in there, do you think?" Seth asked.
"I think all of them," Sara kidded.
"Sara," Seth groaned.
Sara giggle. "Well, some old jokes are worth digging up over and over again, don't you think?"
Seth groaned again.
"Some jokes just seem to take on a life of their own."
"Sara, stop, I'm begging you."
"Some jokes just seem to live forever." Sara laughed.
"Sara, I'm dying here. Please, stop!"
Sara laughed. Seth laughed, too.
"There's some real neat old headstones in there."
_______

. . . your day was a perfect match to the way you were feeling about it. You felt both good about it and bad about it, and the day was a perfect match to the way you were feeling.
_______

Well, Seth, I think it's time for you to free yourself form the bondage of that cave, and from the bondage of what other people think. It's time for you to fly again.
_______

The most significant thing that Sara had noticed - that had occurred in her life since meeting her friend Solomon - was that she had a continuing sense of well-being. Solomon had helped Sara understand that no matter how things seem to appear in any moment in time, the truth is that all really is well. And while Sara struggled with that understanding at times, even arguing with Solomon on occasion, she had come to mostly know that this was true.
_______

". . . we're supposed to have spectacular lives."
_______

There is another much more powerful law. Much greater than the law of gravity. It is the Law of Attraction. And just as your law of gravity affects everything that exists upon your planet, the Law of Attraction affects everything that exists in all of the Universe, in all space and in all time, and in all that is spaceless and timeless. In fact, this Law of Attraction is actually the basis of everything that exists.
Solomon had Seth's attention. Seth leaned forward waiting for more.
The Law of Attraction, in simple terms, says, "That which is like unto itself, is drawn." In more complicated terms, it means that everything in the Universe is emitting a vibrational signal - and those signals that are the same come together, magnetically.
________

Your signal has to do with what you are perceiving.
"Perceiving?"
Yes, what you are giving your attention to, what you are focusing on. For example, when you are remembering, you are offering your vibrational signal. When you are observing or looking or thinking about something, you are offering your signa. When you are pondering or studying or examining or imagining, you are offering your signal.
"What about when I'm talking about something?"
Especially then, because when you are speaking of something, it usually has your full attention.
"Gee, Solomon, it seems like we're offering our signal in just about everything we're doing."
Good, Seth. That is exactly right. And since the Universe is constantly matching your signal with things that are like your signal, it is very good when you are offering your signal on purpose.
_______

. . . most human Beings are dealing with vibrations all of the time; they just don't know that they are. Everything about your physical world has a vibrational basis. The reason your eyes see what they see is because your eyes understand vibration. What you hear is because your ears understand vibration. Even what you smell and taste and feel with your fingers is because your body is understanding vibration.
_______

Everyone does not smell the same scents, just as everyone does not see the same. Have you ever noticed that dogs are able to smell things that you cannot?
. . .
Have you noticed that dogs can hear things that you can't hear?
. . .
not only are all kinds of things offering all kinds of different vibrations, but different receivers are receiving differently.
_______

There are no best experiences. Flying is not better than swinging, and swinging isn't better than walking. Each experience has its own benefits. It's the variation that makes life full and delicious and interesting.
For me, today, the swing was a first-time experience. I have never before put my faith in the strength or trajectory of a rope hanging from a tree. The thrill continues to be in the new discovery.
. . .
We are all continuing to expand. We are eternally in a joyous state of becoming.
_______

You may do anything that you want to do. I want to guide you to a recognition of the enormous value of where you now stand. So many people are feeling dissatisfied with what is around them, spending all of their time reaching for things that feel out of their grasp, when there is so much pleasure and value for them if they were to look around, right where they now stand.
I do not want to guide you toward or away form anything. I want you to know that your options are unlimited and that it is in the new experiences that your greatest joy will always come. You are expanding Beings, ever-expanding Beings. When you understand that and allow it - and even encourage it - you will always find your greatest joy.
_______

It's never too late, Sara. No matter what happens, you still have control over the way you feel. And since you still have control over the way you feel, you can still change the outcome, no matter how it seems now.
_______

I realize that it is always easier to stay connected to the Stream under good conditions, but the most masterful creators remain connected to the Stream, no matter what. That's what makes them masterful creators.
You see, kids, there are fair-weather creators and all-weather creators. It's easy to be a fair-weather creator, being happy when everything is just the way you like it, but when you are able to hold your vibration and feel good under all conditions - that is when your true creative ability shows.
_______

"That's one optimistic bird," Seth said and laughed, as Solomon flew away.
Sara laughed. "I want to be just like him."
"Yeah," Seth said. "Me, too."

Doubles down on same ideas in first book which is a good reinforcement on how to practice law of attraction

[Laurie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the Sara Series. Great lessons to be learned for all ages. What a wonderful way to teach/learn about the Universal Laws. It was one of those reads that took me awhile since it was a book I would pick up when I needed a reminder (maybe it was divine timing!) or I would put it down to contemplate the message. Would have loved to have read this to my son when he was little!

[C_GO · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sara Book 2 was a continuation of Sara Book 1. However, Sara now has a new friend, Seth, who just moved to town. Seth has a very rough life at home but doesn't talk much about it with Sara. Sara and Seth begin to realize that they have a lot in common. Seth and Sara spend a ton of time in Thacker's Trail in a treehouse where they swing over the river. Seth is very handy and he built the treehouse.

Solomon, the wise owl, continues to work with Sara. He mentions to Sara that he will be working with Seth also now. Sara was a little uncomfortable with sharing Solomon with Seth, but she eventually is happy to do so.

Solomon teaches Seth (and Sara) about the Law of Attraction and how your thoughts have a direct effect on what happens in your life. Sara and Seth get to experience this together and are very amazed at how well it works when they really apply it. They almost lose their tree house because it's on someone else's property, but they use the Law of Attraction to turn that around. They are amazed that it worked! Also, in the end, Seth is going to have to move away but they manage to practice the Law of Attraction for this, and magically Seth's Dad gets a job, and Seth's family stays in the little town. Seth and Sara are so happy that they can continue to hang out and be best friends.

My favorite character was Solomon because he helps people learn stuff that people don't really learn.

What surprised me the most was that Solomon came back to life.

I would not change the ending because Seth's dad gets a job and will stay in the village!

This book revealed the gaps in my understanding of LOA

I read this thinking there’s nothing new I could learn about the law of attraction and YET! How profound, I thought I knew it all and about putting it to practice but no. This made me see why I have the results in my life that I have and how to turn that around. It made me see that LOA is really a simple thing. We just try to complicate it.

I wish it had more of these teachings. Most of the book talks about Sara and Seth and their life and uses a few chapters to build up to the teaching. Sometimes I find myself impatiently waiting for the teaching. But perhaps it was structured that way for a reason.

[Linda · Rating 5 out of 5]

the 2nd book of the sara series and I love it just as much as the first one. Sara meets seth who has a very different life than her but wants the same: to be happy. which can be really difficult if everything seems to work against u.

A huge point in this book was injustice and how it doesn’t exist. this one isn’t easy to understand or accept but it’s pretty well explained (also illustrated with situations in the book).
Again, it is about the law of attraction and it deepens your understanding of it so I find it valuable to read.

[Therese · Rating 4 out of 5]

Continuing a good series, the book is an easy read and simplifies the Law of Attraction. For adults who are well versed in the LOA, not may come off as too ideal of a story that is oversimplified. However, if you're looking for a very basic foundation or intro to the LOA, want a feel good story as a reminder of how the LOA works, or want to give this book to a young child/teenager dipping their toes into the LOA, the Sara series is great. It took me about 3.5 hours total and was worth it for the reminders and hope it offers.

[Anamika · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sara 2 feels like returning to a familiar, comforting space time with a deeper, steadier breath. While Sara 1 awakens the reader to the power of emotional guidance, this second book shows what it looks like to live that wisdom in the real, often messy world.

Sara’s evolving connection with Solomon becomes a metaphor for the guidance we all carry within us. The introduction of Seth adds another layer of warmth, reminding us that shared alignment can amplify joy.

This is a book that gently invites you to notice your own emotional patterns and return to thoughts that feel better.

[Andrea Viczian · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good read and goes deeper into practical aspects than book 1

I enjoyed this book so much that I read it one sitting. It was a more practical guide to how to use the law of attraction than the first book, as the character, Seth, allowed the authors to express how two people each use the law of attraction, yet can work on the same issue together. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about how to create a life of love and connection.

Heart-felt & Heartwarming

I loved the 2nd book just as much as I loved the first book. The Law of Attraction is brilliantly taught through the eyes & experiences of 2 young people as they explore life with the help of a wise owl. This is a work of genius. I delightfully recommend not only this book, but book 1 too!

[Prerna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sara Books have always brought me so much comfort and peace along with so much knowledge and wisdom. When I picked up Sara Book 2 I never knew there was so much one can still learn. But this book, it offered so much, so wonderfully! Absolutely love this series. These books have truly proven to be blessings in my life.

This is a fun continuation of sara 1. Although it is a kids story however it resembles perfectly the worries and fears that happen in our adult lives. It is very comforting to know that all is well.

I liked the first volume better

[Peatie-John Mosser · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautiful, one hiccup for me...

I really struggle with the concept that there isn't any victimhood. The chapter on that made a lot of sense logically, but also gets a weird gut reaction from me. I understand not focusing or getting stuck in a place of victimhood, but denying it exists is a concept I cannot get behind. I really think acknowledging suffering and gently nurturing through it is healthier. Everything else about this book is wonderful. I laughed, cried happy tears, and felt genuinely comforted in a special way by the story.
