Over the years, Abraham-Hicks has had quite a bit to say about death or, as they call it, "croaking." I'll try to summarize some things I've learned from them about the circumstances and timing of it.

As far as our death being programmed in advance or in any way predetermined, Abraham would say emphatically no. In fact, they go so far to say that every death is "suicide" in the sense that we exercise full control over when we transition, whether we realize that we're exercising control or not. So every death is not suicide in the sense that a person is consciously and deliberately choosing to die, but every death is suicide in the sense that a person brings about his/her own transition by virtue of long term thoughts and intentions.

Abraham says that there are certain ways in which a person might bring about their own transition. The first is by simply losing interest in life - no longer experiencing desires. Desires are crucial, for they actually summon life force to a person, and when they are absent, there comes a point where there is no longer enough life force to sustain the person. Unhappy people who don't feel they have anything to live for are an example of ones who are lacking desire, but the same is true for people who have lived an enjoyable life, are satisfied with it, and simply ready to move on.

A second - and probably more typical - way that a person might bring about their own transition is by having very intense desires but, at the same time, engaging in consistent negative thinking about those desires and other aspects of life. It's great to be a "powerful wanter," as Abraham calls these people, for they get the stream of energy that's trying to deliver their desires moving very quickly. But if they consistently engage in doubt, pessimism, and noticing aspects of life that they don't like, it's as if that fast-moving stream of energy "beats them up." They've summoned many wonderful things through their desires, but their negative thought and emotion keeps it at bay, and the more they notice that their desires aren't being realized, the more upset and frustrated they become. Since many such folks have no understanding of Law of Attraction and the power of thought, they may overwork and in other ways over-extend themselves in a desperate attempt to manifest the things and experiences they want so much. They may also try to numb their emotional pain through addictions of many types or engage in risky or criminal behavior. None of this, of course,
