Abraham: THE SECRET BEHIND "THE SECRET" - Esther & Jerry Hicks
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 апр 2007
- Abraham - via Esther Hicks - explains why there are two versions of "The Secret" DVD and why Abraham is no longer in the video. Recorded live at a 2007 Abraham-Hicks workshop.
Esther & Jerry Hicks are the authors of numerous books based on the Teachings of Abraham and their latest book, "Money and The Law of Attraction", reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
For over 20 years, Esther has translated blocks of thought from "Non-Physical Source Energy" - which she also identifies as her "Inner Being" or "Soul" - and who refer to themselves in the plural as "Abraham" (no relation to the Biblical figure).
Esther doesn't use the word "channeling" to describe her process, but understands if others do. For more information, please view our RUclips video entitled "Abraham Explains Who They Are", or go to www.abraham-hicks.com and listen to the audio entitled "Introduction To Abraham".

I gained control over my life through Abraham's teachings, and I am infinitely grateful of it. And I must say that it first started with a copy of The Secret. After reading the book I just could not stop thinking about these teachings and one day, all of a sudden, a very good friend from Sweden asked me to provide her with my address in the Dominican Republic in order to send me a gift that she keep as "a secret". A few weeks later I received by mail an amazing book "Ask and it is given", plus lots of the seminars and from then on my life has changed completely for good. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will see you soon!
I avoided The Secret because I literally felt something wasn't quite right in my soul regarding it. Now I know why. And I feel blessed that I actually found Esther/Abraham and got the purest and more accurate complete version! My inner being felt the discord and now I see it was valid. Blessings to you for posting this! Really appreciated!!
justtubingit: Abraham prefaced the "not nice" comment by saying "in the context of what's going on here". This is a reference to a discussion that occurred shortly before in the workshop when another woman had asked Abraham about doing what felt best to her even if another person thinks she's "not nice". So Abraham was not judging the producer, but rather acknowledging that other people have done so.
I was watching "the Secret" first before knowing Abraham. I loved the message of the Secret so much but after a while I feel that something lacks there but I forgot about it. Then I met Abraham it was truly amazing: I felt that my confusions were are sorted out. I still appreciated that "the Secret" made me be on a quicker path to meet Abraham teaching. I love Abraham teaching so much.
This is why when I read The Secret I didn't get it... I needed the "non physical" part, that is the
key. When I came across Abraham-Hicks one year later, it clicked!
I am thankful to The Secret because without it I might not have found Abraham-Hicks, not so quickly anyway. I have never actually seen The Secret but I bought the audio CD. It was interesting and helpful, but now that I've got the Abraham-Hicks Audio books I can see what the secret was missing. Everything makes sense and you can see it all working.
I appreciate Jerry and Ester making this explanation available to us. Nice to have things out in the open.
While going through a bit of a low period, I decided to watch a bunch of inspirational movies to keep my spirits high. One of those movies was "The Secret." After making a comment on a clip from that movie on RUclips, somebody suggested that if I was really interested in the Law of Attraction, that Abraham was where the "leading edge" was. I thought it was a silly comment, but looked into Abraham at that point. I'm very thankful for what I looked into!!!
I was one of the fortunate 200,000 who got the origional Secret DVD with Abraham. I was so immediately drawn to Esther and Abraham that I googled them right away. That was 6 or so years ago. I am so APPRECIATIVE of Abraham, bringing the "secret" out into the open for all who have ears to hear. My life unfolding has been an amazing journey thus far and now that I really GET IT and choose to guide my feelings into better and better places, life is so good. Thank You A,E&J for the help in expanding
I cannot get enough of this message that All is Well - or as my 3 yr old granddaughter often reminds me, "MomMom - everything is OKAY!" :-)
Thanks much!
Pat Graham-Block
Abraham ROCKS! :-) Everytime I listen to, watch or read the teachings of Abraham I feel so in touch with the truth, Source Energy and JOY! 100% recommended to anyone who breathes!
Love to you Esther, Jerry and Abraham :-)
Source energy..... This is what we are made of and what we will always be part of. Live, Love, Create!
I've always said the secret is a watered down version of Abraham and it's always better from the source. Thank you for your teachings. I appreciate your teachings you have unlocked a lot inside myself.
I listened to the Secret (cd) several times before...beginning a few years ago. I loved it because I was on the frequency of receiving it at that time. I never learned about Abraham, Jerry, or Esther until a few hours ago. This is far more profound for me at this point in my life. While the Secret helped to positively change my "thinking," these videos inspire my "being." I am on the frequency to receive this now. Thank you for generously sharing these videos.
wonderful people here. I ask all good people to think with love and send love to our planet so the world soon became better and happier. love and light to all
Every time I listen to Abraham - I know that true knowledge is reaching my true self - my higher self.
AMAZING!
Abraham states that "the real secret is that we are source energy in physical bodies." After looking deeply into several religious traditions I experienced that statment to be very true!
I hope to be able to attend a workshop soon. BTW, I have the origional version of "The Secret" and have to say that Esthers part was such a huge part of what initially attracted me to learning about the LOA.
So true! For many years I followed the secret but couldn’t find the right person/people to provide the information of how to create. Then a friend told me about Abraham. Now I know how to obtain alignment
BolivarDan: Abraham, translated by Esther Hicks, teaches the entire "Secret" - which is the co-creative role that Infinite Source Energy plays in all our lives.
I actually found Abraham for the first time on the Secret DVD and while it was the greatest thing I had seen before, I now find Abrahams work far more uplifting and simple! And I KNOW that it was because I WAS READY that I found that DVD even though it was only the tip of the iceberg!
thelifeuwant: Dr. Wayne Dyer has been a student of the Abraham material for years, and wrote the introduction to the first Abraham-Hicks book Hay House published, "Ask And It Is Given".
What a beautiful way to look at, what we may consider to be, "difficult" situations. A great example to us all. By the way, Ask And It Is Given was the catalyst and foundation to my awakening. Thank you!
"A really good teacher knows where his student is." Best thing I've heard. Listen to your soul...listen to source. And get ready.
I soooooo needed this today. 🎈🧨🧨♥️♥️ Thank you.
I am so happy to see this! I was turned on to AbrahamHicks about 5 years ago and have listened to 15 of their CD's. I couldn't believe it when that one lady totally ripped them off almost verbatim and wrote a best seller "based on their teachings". (Excuse Me, your life is waiting).
Anyway, when the Secret came out I was like the only SECRET here is GREAT MARKETING! Also, did anyone forget about Napoleon Hill? He was teaching this 50 years ago!
Good for Esther!
Nicely said. I've been brought to Abraham Hicks again because I too felt that I lost track with a connection that felt so effortless as a child. Then I realized through listening to the teachings again that I've listening way too much to the "peanut gallery" instead of following my inner calling. It's making so much sense now.
The teachings of Abraham were my favorite parts of the movie The Secret. The edited out vs. doesn't have the weight & substance behind it. It's fluffier & watered down for the masses. I'm amazed by the compasion, intelligence & patience of Abraham. I love how egoless & neutral Abraham is.
Chicky0708: Jerry and Esther are authors who have also been conducting "Law of Attraction" workshops for over 20 years. Their work is based on the teachings of "Non-Physical Source Energy" who they call "Abraham" and who communicates blocks of thought to Esther which she then translates. They don't think of this process as channeling. Their company is called Abraham-Hicks Publications and they have no organization to join - just a mailing list to be notified of new books, CDs and videos.
I feel very grateful. my copy of The Secret included Ester/Abraham.
Perfect right action.
The same happened to me. I am from Brazil and I had never heard of Abraham teachings before The Secret. The movie was a huge success and after I saw it I wanted to learn everything I could find about the law of atraction. It led me to Abraham. And I am grateful for that.
I so agree with you. The benefit I got from watching the Secret at the beginning of this year is that it led me to Abe teachings for which I am deeply deeply deeply grateful. I am their biggest fan!
starrridder: ie. what Abraham also refers to as "Source", and what others may call "God".
There is no hidden agenda or personal slant that colors the information toward business or uninspired action. There's no blame & you should work harder message. It's flow & be easy about all this, have fun, choose relief, Abraham is soothing, inspiring & beyond anything I have ever heard before. These markers are genuine & resonate deeply with me. I'm entertained, enlightened & thrilled with these teachings. Stunning insights of the human condition
colinlikeschapstick: Esther is translating blocks of thought from "Non-Physical Source Energy" - which she also identifies as her "Inner Being" or "Soul" - who refer to themselves in the plural as "Abraham" (no relation to the Biblical figure). Esther does not prefer the word "channeling" to describe her process, but understands if others call it that. For more info, see our video entitled "Abraham Explains Who They Are", or go to our website and listen to the audio: "Introduction To Abraham"
I am grateful to "The secret" movie - it helped me to find Abraham teachings. I saw version with Esther and Abraham. After waching "The Secret" 5 times or so, I felt, that it's not complete, a lot is missing in there, I want to know more... then I started to google all teachers who were in the movie, and listen to what they are saying. And when I found Esther and Abraham, oh my, what a feeling that was, I instantly knew, this is it. Esther radiates so much love and clarity. Thank You so much!
Reading all these comments concerning "The Secret", I wanted to express how the movie (Version without the Hicks) was my first intro to the LOA. I watched it several times, fascinated, inspired. And it was because of that movie inspiring conversation, that I ended up with a friend loaning me "Ask-Given" Which in turn led me to these videos, etc. Cool how things work out. :) Fun!
I was right when I first saw The Secret...something was missing... The non-physical side! the vibrational stuff, the Main Thing, and that was Abraham, plus Esther & Jerry Hicks. I'm happy I kept searching and could find their material.
I am SO GRATEFUL for the explanation in this presentation. When so many were raving about the movie 'The Secret', I viewed it, and thought, "Seriously?! It seemed more like a movie trailer, and went no where. Your closing statement says it all!
imdonya: Actually, Esther is providing the words with which she is interpreting blocks of thought from Abraham. So, while one could say that Abraham is "speaking through her" it is also true - semantically - that Esther is talking. And Abraham does indeed refer to Esther in the third person, as well as sometimes - humorously - to the blended Esther and Abraham as "Estherham".
Thank You for uplifting the vibration of the planet!!! Thank you for openning a forum for society at large to discuss SOURCE in a way that is in alignment with love and joy!!!
abraham and all the family hicks is amazing.
i appreciate all your help.
I just found out that AbrahamHicks ever was in "The Secret"! I love this explaination and plan to focus myself on listening to my source energy.
My life changed tremendously after being the student of Abraham. I read lots of books from different teachers, i would say they are good but somehow deep in my heart i know theres something more for me And i stop searching for the teachers the moment i found Abraham's teaching. Abe's teaching are beyond words can describe which always comes from the pure, fast, high energy, non bias dimension..........
I'm thankful that I was able to watch The Secret where Esther and Abraham appear. Thankful that the movie introduced me to your teachings.
Saw a video of Louise Hay,she recommends on that video to check Abraham Hicks, It was just the right moment for me cause I needed to learn how to go from sickness to wellness... Stage one Cancer and changing my life through forgiveness, Love and understanding SELF to acces the vortex.. The "other Secret" doesnt tell you that.
Agex33: You can obtain a free download of an "Introduction To Abraham" audio on our website, and can also call the Abraham-Hicks office for assistance in choosing one of many audio recordings available. As for a book, you may wish to start with "Ask And It Is Given" - a summary of the first 20 years of Abraham's Teachings - also available on our website, as well as at most booksellers.
i Have been listening to Abrahan for Over 10 years. Can't get enough Thank You Abraham, Ester & Jerry Hicks for all you did to get Abraham to us all. God Bless You... Pat
Even her speaking voice is great! I hope to stay on track to positive creation in my life and with my music!
After all, what I can say is a big thanks for what you are sharing with people...
My best regards.
I spent Aug 4th in Los Angeles at an Abraham-Hicks workshop and LOVED it. Fortunately I too bought one of the first copies of The Secret and immediately felt a strong connection to Esther and of course Abraham. I can't get enough of them! Completely life changing info. :)
A1Jazz: If you Google the phrase, the first reference is an excerpt from Esther & Jerry's book "The Astonishing Power of Emotions" in which this is explained.
I have been listening to and using the Abraham material for over 15 years-a very long time! I was VERY confused as to why "THE Secret" did not credit Ester,Jerry and Abraham as being the creator of this work. Thank you very much for the clarification, and thank thank you Abraham-Hicks for the work!!
Forever grateful for Abraham and the Hicks allowing the wisdom to channel through and share with the world ❤️🫶🏻🌎
blessmilife8823: Three of Abraham's four books which are published by Hay House are available also in audio, read by Jerry. The fourth, "The Law of Attraction", is based on the original 20-year-old sessions with Abraham, and the audio version of this book features Abraham giving these discourses to Jerry. In addition, there are literally thousands of audio CDs, audio tapes, and free audio downloads featuring Abraham's voice - and many hours of video - available at our Abraham-Hicks website.
A part of me felt incomplete when I saw the non-abe version of the Secret.... however my friends didn't feel the same. So i thought i must be broken..
I gave my copy of the secret to a friend, whom i later fell out with, but never had the chance to get it back. So searched for the secret on RUclips. I found the older version (which i thought was the new version at the time) and was overwhelmed because this time, Ester-ham put the secret in another perspective...I was blissfully complete...
Thank you to the Abraham - thank you Jerry and Esther. I have the original version of the DVD and your words always bring me to tears.
Thank you for posting this. Your explanation of what happened actually has helped me in other areas of my life!
When I watched the Secret I felt instinctively that the movie was for spiritual "beginners" so to speak, marketed for people whom would otherwise be put off by usual "new age talk". I did feel that the greater truth was missing but was still very inspired by it. I feel it has waken many people up & It has also led me to Abrahams clearly greater body of knowledge and wisdom & for these things I am grateful. Its just sad that there arent many exceptions to these types scandals in the industry.
I didn't see the original version with Abraham, but on viewing the current version online, I pretty much came to the conclusion that Abraham / Esther did in this video - In the end people are being given just the skin over the story and not really shown the nuts and bolts how to achieve it. It is not enough to simply say, "Your thought s become things."
i am grateful to the film because it caused me to ask and find you Abraham and i love your non biased approach to life!! thank you!!
I'm so glad to finally hear what the real story was behind this. It's all good!
She is truely a beautiful person.. I admire her.
Wow!!!. I didn't know Esther and Jerry were the ones from where this film came about. I always wondered, there was always something missing on the film, the knowledge of Abraham. There is no greater feeling than to KNOW the truth behind "The Secret" Thanks Abraham, Esther and Jerry!!!
maxalember: Since Abraham is "not whispering words in Esther's ear" as they put it, and it is Esther who is translating the "blocks of thought" from Abraham using her vocabulary, Abraham always "communicates" in English.
he walked in faith by asking, believing and recieving (another principal straight from the bible). True faith that you act on truly can move mountains. Speak of things as though they already were. Allways be thankfull. The word of God formed the universe...
@shylathegreat Esther says that she receives "blocks of thought" from Abraham which she then puts words to using her own vocabulary. Esther is not in a trance in the conventional sense, which is why she no longer prefers the word "channeling" to describe her process. When Abraham uses "we" they are speaking of themselves as Source, which they explain is not singular but also has no particular number as we think of it.
Its fabulous Abraham Hicks, every time I watch you , it gives me undescribable pleasure!! I love you heaps my friends , big love to Esther xx 💖💖💝💚💜👑👑💛😘😘🎶🌊🌊
Wow, how ironic, don't ya think? that, the Law of Attraction, what you focus on, comes - worked in this way w/Abraham being a Secret now too! Another example of how powerful our thoughts are. Great info from Abe and being a big "Seth" fan myself from way back, I find the "Abe" info just as good and it's revived my knowledge and has helped me understand more thoroughly all of this. The "Abe on God" is a must see! Thank you for helping everyone with that message Esther and Jerry!! You guys Rock!!
To mberanek1: Your feelings are understandable, however Abraham feels differently. You can see their reaction in our newly-posted video clip entitled "Abraham's Response to Being Cut Out of 'The Secret'"
tehdreamer: Jerry & Esther identify Abraham as "Greater Non-Physical Source Energy" and "The Purest Expression of Unconditional Love", and Abraham says they are the product of Jerry & Esther's "vibrational escrow" combined with that of the hundreds of people who have asked Abraham questions for over 20 years. Finally, Jerry, Esther & Abraham all say that the process that Esther is using to "translate blocks of thought" from Abraham is not what most people think of as "channeling".
I AM SO HAPPY THAT ABRAHAM GAVE AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT HAPPEN! After watching THE SECRET I felt intutively that Esther and Jerry had made the conscious decision not to be a part of the movie- The Secret. Because just as Abraham explained, at the end of the movie, you weren't provided any tool with which to access your inner connection to the law of attraction in a way that brought you closer to your higher-self, which is in essence THE SECRET. so I knew this was not the REAL THING!
I can't imagine The Secret without Abraham. But nothing is ever lost and we can still learn Abraham's undiluted by production message on our own.
Peace, Love and Joy to everyOne!
she is quite special...
I love her !!! beautiful...
@vnano "The Secret" was originally conceived as a film about Jerry and Esther, but in the course of production the producer added a lot of other voices to the film, many of whom echoed a distorted and/or incomplete version of what Abraham had been teaching for 25 years. Faced with their contract being violated, and their life work in danger of being diluted, Jerry and Esther elected to walk away and the producer elected to misrepresent their central rolls in the genesis of the film and book.
The 75-minute "Introduction to Abraham" CD (available as a free download on the Abraham-Hicks website) contains all that is needed to understand the Teachings of Abraham, and the book "Ask And It Is Given" is the most comprehensive summary of the first 20 years of Abraham's teachings. The 5-DVD "Master Course Video" set, available in June 2007, is the most in-depth video presentation.
turxxx: Esther and Jerry Hicks are best-selling authors who have been conducting "Law of Attraction" workshops for over 20 years. Their work is based on the teachings of "Non-Physical Source Energy" who they call "Abraham" and who communicates blocks of thought to Esther which she then translates. Although some have called this process "channeling", they don't prefer this word. Their company is called Abraham-Hicks Publications and they have no organization to join - just a mailing list.
Chicky0708: She is not calling herself Abraham, Abraham is like another personality that refers to Esther in the third person. This personality, when it first manifested, identified itself saying "I am Abraham". Jerry is sitting off to the side in every workshop, operating the audio recording equipment and taking notes. For a much more detailed explanation, go to our Abraham-Hicks website and listen to the free download entitled "Introduction to Abraham".
Abraham-Hicks -- Thanks for graciously responding to those who have not yet understood your teaching. As student of Abe's for years, I think it would benefit anyone to simply go to your site or attend a workshop or read your books or listen to the thousands of hours of explanation you have available on CDs. The Secret movie controversy seems to be a creative way for the universes to reveal true Secret once and for all... "We are Source energy". As Abe always says, "Good to know"!
I also met with Abraham through The Secret, Abraham speaks directly and it is pure wisdom
lavenda11: Jerry, Esther and Abraham will be coming to Australia for the first time ever in December, 2008 as part of Hay House's "I Can Do It!" conference series, and will be holding workshops in Melbourne on 12/06/2008, in Brisbane on 12/10/2008, and in Sydney on 12/13/2008. Details are on both the Abraham-Hicks and Hay House websites.
@shylathegreat Abraham is Esther's translation of the Divine aspect of herself - what many call the Soul. And, since Abraham holds the position that this greater part of ourselves is God, Abraham does personify an expression of All-Loving Non-Physical Source Energy. However, Abraham also says that each person's expression of their Source is unique, and so they don't use the word God to describe themselves because it connotates things they don't mean.
if it was not for the Secret DVD that I purchased back in April, and the exposure of the Secret and LOA I would never have researched more into it and found the Hicks books and CDs on Abraham.
I just love Abraham and Esther and Jerry!
I went to an Art Of Allowing Workshop. It was incredible!
I've always had an intuitive sense of wanting to shun The Secret, and now I know why. The underlying vibration of the woman who originally promoted it is an ego vibration. Now that I'm tuned into Abraham, I can listen to his words and my intuition says they ring true. This is the difference between listening to the Source, and someone who is merely hawking the Source. Good decision to be edited out; the benefit to all is greater this way. I shunned the Secret; I have bought Abraham's books.
LOVE LOVE LOVE to Abraham, Jerry and Esther!
Can't wait to see you on May 19th!!!
Bliss,
Andy
i have listsoned to one of the teachings and i felt relief from a unseen blame tactic that was going on in my life it was absured to be blamed for beliefs which where not mine and casting stones these are very healing teachings this reminds me to let go , i'll tell my sister
getmanjulia: Esther Hicks is translating blocks of thought from "Broader Non-Physical Conciousness" made up of a group intelligence who call themselves "Abraham" - no relation to the Biblical figure. For more information see the Abraham-Hicks website.
Abraham prefaced this comment by saying "in the context of what's going on here". Shortly before in the workshop another woman had asked Abraham about doing what felt best to her even if another person thinks she's "not nice". This was a reference to that discussion.
I always had the feeling the Secret has so much missing - like it's a "clif-notes" but missing much of the things that make everything come together and "click" in a holistic way that Abraham describes.
Rushtoolman: Esther Hicks is translating blocks of thought from "Broader Non-Physical Conciousness" made up of a group of Beings who call themselves "Abraham" - no relation to the Biblical figure. For more information see the Abraham-Hicks website.
@paologeminiani Abraham has identified themselves as Esther's translation of Source Energy - in other words, her Soul.
Hi Abraham, Esther & Jerry. Just wanted to send you a HUGE thank you and thoughts of appreciation for the lovely day I've (virtually) spent with you all today whilst I've been joyously working on an Abraham Appreciation Video to upload to RUclips tomorrow.
Your wonderful words, spoken and written and the images from your Books and Cards have inspired and delighted me for about 2 years now and I'm happy, joyous to say that All Is Well, always has been and always will BE! Baz Rocket Of Desire
MonsefBashDarHarKoja: Jerry & Esther made their first and so-far only trip to Europe in May of 2008, and conducted workshops during a Mediterranean cruise, as well as in England and Ireland. Audios of all of these seminars are available on audio, and the best of the England and Ireland events will be released as a 2-disc DVD soon. Visit our website for details.
Abraham mentions about the emotions along the line of resistance to non-resistance.along the way is Appreciation-after watching the secret a month ago i got so into it then got The Power book by Rhonda then The Miracle(which is all about gratitude)i found the true worth of this trait - the attitude of grattitude changes my day every day, if im full of it my day goes amazingly! so its 1 great thing to come from the secret movie...and now i have found you Abraham, and i am now whole and completexx
I have wondered what happened as well! It was fantastic to hear it from Abraham! Yes, I love Abraham-Hicks and appreciate so much the commitment Jerry and Esther have accepted to share the work with us all. Thank you!
Peace,
Angie Dutton
Esther,
You are my age and I remember very well that as a little girl I used to have pleasure in connecting with the source then I lost track and as an adult I spent most of my life reading self help books trying to find answers.Then I saw one of your clips only a feww weeks ago ..AND I found my track again.I feel that you are me speaking to my play mates as a child.
Dishkasfan: You don't need anybody else's help to be sure of anything - and it's actually easier that way, since your own emotional guidance system is designed to lead you to the real magic.
sunflip: Esther Hicks is translating blocks of thought from "Broader Non-Physical Conciousness" made up of a group of beings who call themselves "Abraham" - no relation to the Biblical figure. For more information see the wealth of free information on our Abraham-Hicks website.
swaydzein: The Law of Attraction is like the law of gravity - it is working for everyone, regardless of their age and whether they consciously know about it or not.
I had wondered and have had a couple of different stories. That is very clear. Thank you for sharing it with us in this format.
Always nice to surrender and let the universe take over.
I really hope to see more mainstream videos with Abraham. I am new to their material ..but I have so far enjoyed watching them here on youtube. It's amazing how great this woman makes you feel. Thank you Esther
