Esther Hicks has joined the ranks of those who "channel" messages from what is called a "non-physical" realm. The two other famous ones are Seth (Jane Roberts) and Ramtha (Judy Zebra Knight). I'm just reading Seth Speaks now and so I'll comment on it soon as I'm done and "Ramtha's School of Enlightenment" appears to be a money-making cult. Funny thing, in the movie "What The Bleep: Down the Rabbit Hole" "Ramtha" made some really goofy comments and Knight, as herself, seemed very sensible.
Anyway, on to "Abraham" which is the collective entity that Esther channels. The original first version of "The Secret" (reviewed in Part 1) featured Abraham. Since the movie came out, Hay House has had a successful series of books and videos by Jerry and Esther. What I'll review briefly to-day is:
_The Teachings of Abraham: the Master Course Video_ Hay House, 2008, ISBN 978-1-4019-2174-3, 5 DVD discs, approx. 10 hours.
This was filmed aboard an Alaskan cruise ship and was also where Rhonda Byrne and her production company met with the Hicks' and did their own filming as well.
Abraham, on disc 5, boils down the whole philosophy this way "You're good. Be happy."
Now, the Hicks have made a LOT of money doing what they're doing. But they don't appear to have built a cult the way Knight did with Ramtha. And Jane Roberts pretty much stayed at home channeling Seth.
Now, do I recommend one make a mental diet of Abraham-Hicks? No. They're interesting to watch and read, and there's a few good ideas here and there. The One Idea I got out of them is to become a vibrational match to whatever it is you're desiring. And Abraham doesn't recommend it, but I do, the best way to get there is chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and have specific Goals to work for. Abraham-Hicks are NOT my main teachers.
Anyway, that's it for now. Next week I'll take on one of the more controversial of the Secret Teachers, James Arthur Ray.
Peace and Blessings to You All.
